I am telling you this from having been in your shoes: there will almost certainly be no "painless" exit if you value the friendship and the company still has potential. Work habits are a part of a person's general character, and now you've learned something about your friend. So you can either buy him out completely for its full long term worth in an optimistic outlook (really, enough not to insult his impression of how much he's contributed), or accept the way this working relationship has evolved - with you as a giver and he as a taker, or cut off your nose to spite your face and wind this thing down under some pretense of wanting to do something else. Personally speaking, I chose the last option; it's brought me great peace of mind and I don't regret it. It became apparent to my partner how little he was contributing and how much it took to keep the business running once I similarly became "too busy" to keep up my vast over-contribution. And guess what - he was accepting of that reality, and probably knew inside that as an individual, he just didn't have what it takes to make a life-changing business. I decided that the company was not worth losing such an important person in my life by making a grandiose "shape up or ship out" gesture, or the unbelievable stress of the inner resentment at being exploited. If you're confident in your abilities, you'll find another venture and be the wiser for it.

A good business relationship can be the foundation of a great friendship, but far less often does the converse hold true.
From experience though, I have worked at one place for 5% (which did nothing to motivate me), and one for 30%, which also did close to nothing to motivate me.

I think 50/50 is the way forward. You could write an IOU from the company to yourself to compensate you for the extra work. E.g. if you think you've put in the equivalent of £100k in time/energy/value/whatever, agree that the company owes you that when it can afford to pay you, but that going forward the equity will vest fairly.

"Fairly" vesting equity could mean that you both agree on metrics/deliverables that need to be achieved to receive the full amount of equity in a round. Split your 100% over say 4 years, and each year 25% of the total is on offer.

That way, if you both agree up front on what each of you would be happy for the other to achieve to receive 12.5%, you should be happy if you both deliver.

This approach means that:

- equity will be split in whatever way you both deem fair
- receiving equity is objectively decided based on performance
- equity doesn't vest immediately

Also consider what should happen to vested equity if one of you wants to leave early (e.g. buyout clauses because some investors don't like large chunks of equity being owned outside the current team).
Most "expert-level" players seem to think so, as well. That said, the rest of the series are not at all bad games.
This reminds me of FoodPanda India, the Indian arm of Samwer Brothers' FoodPanda food delivery service.

The app was just a front-end. When customers ordered something, people sitting in call-centers would manually order the items at restaurants.

There was zero compliance, widespread scams and no checks and balances, all along with minimal technology.

I'm becoming more and more cynical of the startup world and the press that makes founders out to be heroes.
In their defense that is probably the case of their MVC framework or CMS returning a 200 after not being able to match the route and not really them doing it on purpose.

But yeah, I agree- (though I've missed them I'm sure) I pretty voraciously make sure my HTTP status matches my intended response- and sometimes that means you've got to write the code in the controller that tells the request to specifically return a certain status.
John McAfee offers to decrypt iPhone used by SB terrorists, criticizes FBI
Volvo tries out 'keyless car' app in Sweden
I had a similar situation on my startup, so here is my 2 cents.

My advice:

1) Have an easy but totally clear conversation with your co-founder, exposing your thoughts and opinions to him as you did here, don't be afraid to hurt him, but be respectful;

2) Ask him what he clearly expects the outcome of the company/partnership to be in the near future (12 months) and try to understand if that fits into your expectation;
(Unfortunately, sometimes its comum to see co-founders thinking they should have less/lower "commitment" with the company, just because they own the smallest part of it)

3) Try to make some clear action plan out of this conversation and give a last try, but do that with a true open mind and good hart, forget the past and really try to to make it work with him.

3.1) If the conversation was good and you were able to create this clear action plan, but even so after few weeks your co-funder still behave the same way, then I think its time to move on;

4) If you really fell the result of this conversation was bad or the time was completely wasted, kindly start the process to remove him from your company; Don't make the mistake of simply ignoring him and let him stay, as this will possibly be a future cancer for your company (and you).

Important (IMHO): Before and after this conversation I suggest that you try your best to make some internal analysis of ourself too, sometimes the behavior of others are the just reflex or consequence of our own current or past actions/behaviors. No one is perfect or always right. Try to put yourself on his shoes and think with his head on why is he acting/behaving the way you consider to be bad/wrong.

Hope you solve this situation and manage to be really successful together.

> they are not making it easy. From my point of view this seems to be a plus and not a minus.

The entire point of free software is to allow it to be endlessly copied, modified, and distributed. This is why we have things like Android and WebKit and the firmware on your home router. They're all based on free software. It may not be "good branding" for there to be hundreds of Linux distros, but that's not what any of this is about.

Interesting, I hadn't seen that video before. For those annoyed by video, he gets right to the point.
I do see the connection between that and the ongoing discussion, but it's subtle and mostly caused by my careless use of terms. Let me fix it a little: the diet of our ancestors was mostly "slow" carbs and a modest amount of proteins, except if you have rich ancestors, that's it. Now there are cheap proteins and a lot of refined carbs that are the equivalent to a nuke for metabolism. So I should have said that heart diseases have raised while much has changed in diet but salt intake has probably decreased because of medical recomendations.

Better now? :)

The way I was looking at it was people will get messages on WhatsApp but won't reply immediately. Same on Facebook. But people will also visit Facebook.com when ignoring messages so you still get online status info even if they aren't specifically using the chat. If you could look at WhatsApp and Facebook and combine the data you'd probably get a really accurate overview.

I think we are at the end of the Fragmentation Era. It use to be that different distros were so different that you would get only specific versions of software and you couldn't get the newest version of OpenOffice on X but with Y.

The main Desktop distros are all fairly equal now. Ubuntu, Mint, OpenSUSE (My favorite), and Fedora are all fairly straight forward and ready to be used and abused.

Arch Linux goes out of their way to just make it hard but that has even stopped, heck their community has changed drastically over the past five years. I still use it on my ancient machines (32 bit is dying though).

I want to install just about anything I can do OpenSUSE's one click or the SUSE build service, go through the pain of PPA or Fedora's flavor of the year installer of outside packages. In Arch you have AUR. It is vastly different then the way it was just 8 years ago or the way Slackware currently is made.

Heck even the RPM vs DEB stupidity is mostly over. I think it has been over a year since someone said I don't do RPM based systems due to dependency hell which was just a issue from 10 years ago that got fixed but that stupid line kept getting repeated all the time!!!! I always told them build a DEB and an RPM and you will see why this is an non-issue.

Uncooperative and unclear? The 'flat refusal' linked in the main article is pretty clear and cooperative. "Do this thing at this link and we'll be cool with it, and we have a track record of being so". Sounds clear and cooperative to me.

> whose contributions enable it to exist

This is the kind of shit I mean above when I say pissing on allies. You're painting ubuntu as a parasite rather than an ally. Ubuntu has done plenty to help the community and is part of that community - in particular, they took making a non-techie friendly desktop and driving that goal forward as their specialty. Do they do everything perfectly? No, but none of the major players do.

I mix debian and ubuntu in my work, and the debian/FSF purists really puzzle me sometimes. One friend of mine read mjg's comments on the same issue on lwn and bought it hook, line and sinker. Started arguing with me that there was zero difference between Apple and Canonical, simply because although Canonical provide you with their source code, you need a little more elbow-grease to make a derivative of their whole integrated environment (which is a violation of a very liberally-read 'freedom 2', apparently). You're free to make that derivative, but it's just not as simple as removing one package. Apparently this makes them the same as a corporation famous for it's industrial secrecy and lockdown of user capabilities, and who has had the police raid someone's home because they thought one of their prototypes was there. It's a ridiculously binary view of the world.

I don't think so. Apple would prefer not to fight this particular battle over this particular case in the public sphere, but the FBI would. The general principle Apple is fighting for here is very important, but the FBI knows this is the weakest point in that principle: the locked phone of a dead terrorist who killed several people. Politically and possibly legally, this is a winner for the FBI. Technically it's a loser if you believe strong encryption is important at all. Apple wants to win the political argument, so it would not want this request to be made public. Anyway, why should it be, when next to no other such requests are made public?

Anyway, in a legal battle, you contest every relevant point. The fact that they contested it doesn't mean they would have behaved differently after, except that they wouldn't have had to make a public statement under less than ideal circumstances.
When working with non-trivial redirects, test them with something like "wget -S $url" instead of your browser. The redirect caching makes it very painful to to repeatedly test the same redirect.

Also, start with a 302, and only change the status to 301 once you're confident they are correct.
My bigger problem with Ubuntu was that they went away from creating a really nice and easy-to-use distro that I wanted to throw money at to breaking everything just to be like Apple (don't get me wrong on this, I'm an Apple fan, I just find their ux hard to use and think people should copy the rest of what they do, not the menus etc.)
Going by what he said from the text. Video is not captioned and thus useless.

Did find a transcript elsewhere and he's sorta on Apple side mostly about the end to end encrypting like others mentioned.

But you are right - it's hard to really read into what he's really thinking about FBI's actions in this situation.

I'm not sure if you're focusing on bare metal, but Kubernetes can assign IPs itself, and does so out-of-the-box on AWS, GCE, GKE, Azure & OpenStack (and probably others as well). On AWS it uses the equivalent to flannel's aws-vpc by default (and one of my personal goals is to make it easy to install one of the networking options that goes to bigger scale, so I greatly appreciate your guide here!)

So you don't need a third party networking solution, but Kubernetes is open so a number have been nicely integrated. flannel is the most popular choice, but there are many others (I hear about Calico a lot)
I agree. I like 5, in all the ways that it's different- but I always feel like 5 has a long expanse of seemingly meaningless turns until all of a sudden things get good. Then it will have another long lull between interesting events.

However there are mostly alternatives for Java8 something like that: Collections.singletonList(1, 2, 3) which actually gives a List<Int> by the end it all comes down to syntactic sugar.
If you know the distribution of the data (which can be imputed as part of the sorting process by sampling the data), it is possible to guess if the next number is going to be larger or smaller than the current one 75% of the time without looking at it by using Cover's pick the largest number trick [1, 2, 3]. I wonder if distributed sorting algorithms know and incorporate this, which should reduce the cost of hitting the network in distributed algorithms considerably? (Asking because I don't work in that field; this is just an idea that I had).

Coal is not cheap. Accounting for externalized environmental and health costs, coal is more expensive per kWh than solar or wind. Failing to internalize those externalities is a $300-500 billion annual implicit subsidy in the United States alone: http://www.chgeharvard.org/sites/default/files/epstein_full%...

Widespread CCS is also science fiction at this point, and does not address the primary harm from coal: particulate matter and heavy metals. Coal use is extremely expensive even if you ignore carbon dioxide emissions.

The later seems tongue in cheek, isn't it? But the former is actually true. I guess cancer is now a bigger cause of mortality just because we live longer and so we have more time to get it, instead of dying earlier of another, now tractable, illness. I don't think raise in heart diseases can be explained just by that effect.
This can be fixed with a 302 from the destination back to to the start/source of the 301, assuming that the old domain isn't redirecting any more (which would cause a redirect loop)

Except IPython is bad garbage, one of the worst projects I've ever seen in my life.

Monstrous complexity, abysmal code quality and the architecture is idiotic to say the least. It's really a sorry state of affairs and a testament to the quality of the language community when
crap like it are so widely used in Python land.

Some of the really stupid shit IPython does:

+ Can't easily use it for remote debugging (which is really the most WANTED usecase for something like this) since the concept of remote kernels is alien to it. One has to hack around the internals to expose a plain ZMQ kernel and it's still not working without issues.

+ Jupyter can't connect to remote kernels it hasn't spawned itself, gotta use stupid tricks like tunnels to fake them as local.

+ IPython forces integration with single-threaded event loops and takes the "we know better, threads are complicated and bad" approach to exposing something simple that can be used by others to integrate into any sort of app, multi-threaded or not.

For something that does things right, look at: http://pryrepl.org/
