It seems to be missing simple authentication. I really like how Azure Web Apps[0] do it for example. Then you could use that to authenticate with some external storage.

The idea of websites being just a way to access and modify data that you own entirely (private Git or else) is really neat.

EDIT: actually they do handle authentication but it's GitHub only. Also they seem to support REST APIs (from a custom backend) but no demos or example of that.

> not comfortable with depending on a privative software

I am sick of hearing this argument. What does that even mean? How is the fact that GitHub doesn't publish their internal code making it's usage "uncomfortable"? Do you think that if they opt to use GitLab and GitLab goes down (and they will because they are shit) that they will adopt GitLab's source code afterwards to continue the project because they rely on it? No way... they will just move their git stuff to a different provider, done. So what's the worry about a private hoster? Git itself is open source which is probably what matters more.

Now in the USA as of 2012, banks cannot turn on overdraft protection on a debit card unless the customer requests. Prior to this they were taking your day's debits and applying the largest one first. So suppose you bought lunch for $10 and a coffee for $3 then your cable company later in the day billed you for an amount in excess of your account. They would then apply the cable company bill first, then the 2 smaller charges to maximize overdraft fees and hit you with 3 $30 charges.
i have a vesting agreement with my co-founder, 50/50 split vest 25% per year, if he left at 16 months he would keep 12.5%, is this agreement naive given that at some point in the future we will be raising vc?

Wondering how they missed Kallithea (a software conservancy project) and RhodeCode in their evaluation. Everyone's mind is just clouded by GitHub/GitLab these days.

I don't know about you, but all people I know hold their CC in their wallets. So, if you just empty your purse on a table, it wouldn't show the CC immediately.

Github pros:

- Can see new stuff that happened since the last time I was on the PR

- Review mode

- Faster

- Can view rendered file (like .md) without leaving the page

- Commits visible on the main tab

And for a more subjective one: the gitlab feels extremely crowded and a general lack of polish.

Take the right sidebar on a merge request for examples, they are icons since it is hidden by default even in full screen.
Hovering on the + shows a Add Todo dialog but hovering over any other icon does nothing. I had to click to see what the watch and stopwatch were. In general, I wasn't able to guess what any of the icons were, except for the labels icon. On the other hand, Github doesn't use icons: just a bunch of text which is imo nicer in terms of design and more user friendly.
Computers are meant to be automating certain things in this world, so that you could concentrate on the important things in your life. It is not meant to be a life force of one's life.

Complaining is easy. If you don't like how modern UI's work, do something about it instead of making more noise.
Yes some people will always try to commit insurance fraud. That's nothing new. Insurers typically guard against that by looking for suspicious data patterns. And most providers won't participate in fraud due to the risk of getting kicked out of insurance networks, or being punished by state licensing authorities.

We already have a 2D scanning appliance which can measure body fat to 1% accuracy, even for weightlifters. It's called a DEXA scan. Currently scans cost about $50 and take several minutes, so not really practical for screening millions of people every year. But I'm sure engineers are working on improving cost and speed.

This is a false equivalence. On average, cars last about twice as long today than they did in the 70's. Just since the mid-90's, the average U.S. car age has gone from 8.4 to 11.4 years.

You nailed it on the head. "It seems strange to think that companies would leave money on the table, but in older industries I think this is exactly what happens. The money just requires too much organizational churn for their corporate appetite." As companies grow, they get filled with layers of middle management to handle organizational complexity but this is one of the biggest costs centers. Additionally, as time goes by, these are the jobs that are looked at during cuts so everyone in this layer is in self preservation mode. They start hoarding information going up and down to make themselves indispensable and slowly the organization becomes the Titantic and can't get out of their own way.

There are a wide range of ways to do things. From Heroku to Bare Metal to EC2 to Lambda to managed services (like Firebase). I think they all can be a win in the right case.

Ironically, the section of the HTTP spec they initially referenced in that Chrome bug as justification for closing it as WontFix is precisely the part which explains why Chrome's current behavior is incorrect. Specifically:

Doesn't matter whether a Vary header is sent or not; when a user clicks the back button they should see exactly what they saw when they previously viewed that page; regardless of whether that content is cached or not.

"Define your state shape in terms of your domain data and app state, not your UI component tree."

I'm not sure that's what OP is recommending though? In fact, that redux doc seems to me to making an opposite suggestion to the OP -- it seems to be suggesting you should put domain data, app state, and UI state all in the store, but "define your state shape in terms of your domain data and app state, not your UI component tree." OP seems to recommend trying ot keep app state and UI state _out_ of the store if you can.

I think people in practice have a lot of trouble with this, and making it successful, even after experience.

But apparently a lot don't too?

Yeah, but that describes most business/tech jargon. I guess, for example, that verbifying words like 'architect' and 'concept' instead of using ordinary English words like 'design' and 'conceive' that already mean the same thing somehow makes what you do seem special and new and not an ordinary function that's been going on since the beginning of time.
Generally terminating is a "very bad" behaviour. If you do not want it in production, better invest in ACID semantics for your application state and restore it on crash.

This is typical for modern mobile applications which are supposed to be killable and restartable at any time.

I'm not sure that your point makes sense. If Microsoft insists on backwards compatibility, then you _can_ upgrade with "no worries". This policy seems to encourage people to upgrade as the new OS will honor the old mechanisms.

In an OS where there was no commitment to backwards compatibility you would have an incentive to not change anything when it works.

> My point is: why rush to upgrade when you've got "support" anyway?

This is a different point. But you seem to be criticizing the decision by Microsoft to focus on backwards compatibility and support for old operating systems, two things that seem to be commendable.
Do you have a vesting agreement in place? If not your investors will likely require one.

What that agreement should say is something along the lines of "each founder gets 1/48th of their shares for each month of having been at the company." There's usually a "cliff" of 1 year, but it looks like you're past that.

That being said, you need to realize that you bailing may put everything in jeopardy, as investors are likely to be spooked, and will likely be unhappy with the significant dead weight of .33 * 18/48 of the company. If I were you I would strongly consider taking a smaller piece in order to give the company more room to grow.

The fact that you're currently selling 25% of the company for 500k indicates to me that the company has a long way to go before spitting off serious profits, so I'd opt for whatever makes the company most likely to be successful, or you'll end up with $0 anyway.

Also realize your "percentage" will change as more shares are issued, an options pool is created, more dilution comes in, etc.
