Outright rejection of the fact that life, including your career path, is in part chance-based is dangerous. A sizeable chunk of the part that isn't isn't in your control either, it's controlled by your environment and the people who populate it. If an asteroid struck, and we were all made redundant, you would not have 'lost' - a large example to illustrate a subtle point.

Believing otherwise is the kind of self delusion that leads to mid-life crises: when the religion of You crumbles and a desperate scramble for a new faith begins.

Life is, in part, a lottery. Failure is fine. Failure is to be expected. Don't read in to it in the context of your self worth, but look at it objectively and see if anything is to be learned. Take risks and accept reality, and never reject the truth, especially when it's staring you right in the face.

99% of all houses are secured worse than any online account would be my counterargument, while holding items of much higher value, relatively.

Give me 15s with a crowbar and I will be able to enter almost any house. Crowbars are like 10 dollars at your local hardware store.

Physical security is almost always based on expected risk of detection and subsequent penalties, not prevention of ability to intrude, yet we somehow don't accept the same reasoning for digital security?

There is literally trillions of dollars worth of assets sitting around the world protected by nothing more than the idea of a closed door and some sort of expectation that a sheet of glass represents a barrier. Our society relies on a system where people respect the laws and have penalties enacted on them if they dont.

I've only ever used FreeCAD and OpenSCAD. I assume SolidWorks is something like FreeCAD, an interactive 3D editor. Out of the two, I'd pick OpenSCAD any day. Here're some reasons:

* If you're a programmer, the learning curve of OpenSCAD is almost non-existent. Assuming you're familiar with 3D modelling concepts, it should take an hour or two to go through and play with the entire feature set of OpenSCAD [1] (which I did).

* It's simple and the defaults are sensible.

* Your model is basically a line based source file which can be put under git and improved through pull requests, etc.

* Your model is easily made parametric. Last model I made was a tripod mount where I could simply change the angle of the legs or wall thickness and everything would adopt.

* OpenSCAD can be used as an 2D vector modeler as well. For me, it's replaced Inkscape 90% of the time.

There are however things that are not as easily doable with OpenSCAD. One feature lacking is constraint solver so you have to do some back of the napkin trig for such things. I've also found it non-trivial to simply "chamfer" an edge, like I could in FreeCAD.

I'm confused. You state that there's a 36 month vesting agreement with a 1 year cliff. Why doesn't the vesting agreement make this a non-issue?
It's hard to find this kind of dupe because it's the same story coming up in quite different locations. Users are good at flagging such cases, though. We're probably going to extend HN's software to make that kind of flagging more explicit.

If your vesting agreement is as ironclad as you say then what the heck are we even talking about? Just finalise his paperwork according to the terms. Just because he says he doesn't want to accept that outcome means nothing if you have such ironclad paperwork in place.

Which leads to the second question - if your paperwork is ironclad, why are the lawyers talking about a court battle? Does not make sense. Either the lawyers are right and you do not have an ironclad agreement in place, or the lawyers are wrong and you should ask them why they have not brought it to your attention that this is fully covered by the agreement.

Also all disputes have a time profile. What is the time profile here? Does it NEED to be resolved quickly? Or can it be drawn out for a long time, to your advantage? Or should it be resolved quickly, to your advantage?

Don't forget that if this person says what they actually want to finalise, and you agree, or if you put a finalisation offer to them, put a relatively short time limit on it.

AND if this cofounder is smart then he will know that you are trying to raise money and that raising money can't be done whilst there is a legal dispute outstanding. This puts you in a risky position. If they choose to stall then you could be in dispute for a long time. You need an absolute plan to resolve this quickly and if that means shutting down and restarting with a new company structure and freshly built cleanroom software now that you have proven the concept then you should consider doing this sooner rather than later.

And its worth remembering that you are not good and he is not evil. You are equally responsible for creating this situation so take responsibility when you resolve it.

5 Career Lessons to Learn from Batman
I agree that copyright should be shorter in duration, but I think some of your suggestions would be disproportionately harmful to independent artists.

Many songwriters rely on their back catalogue - a hit song serves as a pension, earning a steady trickle of royalties from radio play and sync usage. I don't see it as morally reasonable that, for example, a decade-old song could be used in a commercial without royalties being paid.

Requirements to register and renew would be trivial for large corporate rightsholders, but could be a substantial burden for independent artists, particularly at the beginning of their career.

The current situation of indefinite renewal serves nobody but the big publishers, but I think that a copyright term of approximately the life of the creator makes a great deal of sense. I'd be open to the idea of a shorter duration for works that have been assigned to a corporation. I'd also be open to the idea of a clearinghouse for orphan works, to ensure that orphan works can be used without unfairly disadvantaging artists.

In Germany the interviewers notes and all the other documents related to the candidate have to be destroyed when they are not needed any more
(Datensparsamkeit, literally data austerity, officially data reduction and data economy).

When a candidate is rejected there is period of to months they can sue for discrimination. After that one additional month is considered to be justifiable.
So everything has to be destroyed three months after the rejection letter if there is no discrimination case.

I originally designed and built Statixite as a service but decided to release it as an open source project. It works with Jekyll[1] sites, but with the hopes to support other generators. The main goals were to include the ability to manage multiple sites, manage posts with a markdown editor, and simplify the deployment process. Feel free to hack away at the demo[2].

I've packaged it as a Ruby gem on Github[3]. It's basically a Rails Engine that can be mounted on any Rails project.

I didn't know about it. Thanks for mention. My baseline for this topic of SOC's w/ offloading is Cavium's Octeon line:

http://www.cavium.com/OCTEON-III_CN7XXX.html

The summary should give you an idea. Just offloading TCP/IP or filesystem ops by itself can knock a host CPU down from 90+% utilization to closer to 10%. That leaves a lot of room for compute. Such a situation helps whether the Octeon was the host or a coprocessor for a Xeon host. Now, apply that same principle to text algorithms, concurrency support, compression, SSL, Hadoop's main ops, key mechanisms of deep learning, and so forth. Performance you get per dollar and watt gets crazy.

The only strategy I had that could deliver better was integrating FPGA's with CPU's so workload could be split. Intel is already on top of that with Altera acquisition. I can't wait to see accelerator logic on a Xeon. :) Meanwhile, a combo of multicore CPU and libraries that tap into accelerators is much easier for average developer to use. No hardware design experience necessary.

For Windows or WINE, open source (and parametric) Solvespace [1] is also excellent and is kind of a middle ground between OpenSCAD and Solidworks/Inventor/Pro-E/Catia etc.

The prog is fast, fully portable (as in "can run from usb drive") and tiny (~2MB iirc). Also has a wealth of export options including g-code for cnc, though prolly pretty rudimentary for 2d routing.

There is a good active fork of Solvespace on Github [2]

Isn't that the opposite of what you posted above? I thought you were claiming dwellings are getting bigger in SF.

My intuition is that they are getting smaller. The old houses are all subdivided. The new apartments are all small. The exception is some large lofts in SOMA but there are plenty of tiny lofts in China Beach, 5th and Mission, 8th and Mission, 10th and Market.

I'm not saying the average is smaller since I don't have any data only personal observation. It sounds like your extrapolating that 2.26 people are getting more space than 3.08 people were before?

Those are good points and I don't disagree at all, but I was talking about perception more than reality. There's still this immense perception that if you're not in the top five you don't exist, and I think that's one of the factors driving real estate hyperinflation in those places.

The other funny phenomenon I've noted is people assuming we are in SV and asking whether we are "down in the valley" or "up in the city." I say "we're waaaaaay down in the valley... like eight hours South." I bet companies in Atlanta will give an address in one of Atlanta's burbs and get asked "where's that? is that in the East bay?"

Maybe the whole thing is just real estate fund or bank propaganda.
Wow. I can understand how galling it will be to let this person have what he's demanding. Plus, vesting agreements exist for a reason, and if it gets around that an ousted founder can just demand to be fully vested and it happens, that endangers the whole startup ecosystem.

Nonetheless.

I'm not a lawyer, or an expert in negotiations, but my take too is that you should settle. It's a rare and special thing to have built a profitable business from scratch. A certain amount of luck is involved. Walk away from this, and you don't know how long it will take you to do it again. So as much as it hurts, I think you should chalk it up to experience and move on.

Again, IANAL, but I wonder if there might be some way to concede the issue now while reserving the right to countersue in the future, when you have more resources, to try to get the stock back.

You got rid of the guy the day after getting new paperwork in place? Man, you guys don't know how to play a subtle game.
I was thinking of making exactly this for GitHub. I'm still just doing some research on what would be useful.

Mind if I contact you to ask some questions? It'd be real quick.
This is what I, taking into account my personal situation of course, would do:

- Make it clear to the co-founder that the business will be between much more likely and 100% likely to shut down if they maintain this complaint. While this seems like it's showing them the power they have, it's much more important to show them how fragile the value of any shares they have are.

- Make an offer between the original offer and 100% vesting. Make it cash heavy if you can, possibly contingent on funding. Make this offer exploding - they need to decide within 1 week and if they don't, you will pull everything except what you feel legally required to put on the table (the vested stock only, no benefits, no severance) and fight this.

This will drag on and kill your company if you let it, and settling could work. If settling doesn't work, you're in a new position, but you need to get this in a position where it will be resolved or not resolved quickly. Then you will know what you're dealing with more clearly, but you are not left with the binary choice you think you are.
The issue isn't any individual act of saving (most of which are just reshufflings of investment assets), it's net investment. If the amount of money invested goes up, it buys more real investment resources. This means more workers and more physical resources are devoted to investment, and less to consumption.

Again, think of real resources because thinking of money is confusing you. A worker can either do biomedical research (investment) or they can provide massages (consumption). This fact doesn't change no matter what games you imagine are happening with money.
Startups don't fail. Founders just stop doing their work. You can't succeed if you give up.

Ah, interesting. I was just about to ask you for the details, if only to warn others what not to do.

So, in your termination offer to this person, did you specify the amount that would have been vested under the original agreement, or the new one?

[Added] I wonder if a counteroffer that clearly satisfied the spirit of the original agreement would be accepted. After all, litigation will cost him money, too, and he might lose. Even just splitting the difference -- offering one of the two unvested years' worth of stock -- might be worth trying. They problem is, you'll have to convince them you're not just bluffing when you say that this is the most they'll get out of you without taking you to court.
