If I had more time I'd totally put together a cute cat website and ask for aww.ww.com
Thanks for doing this!

track.ww.com -> www.track.com

Mostly to mess with my non-techy friends...would be particularly funny if you added google.ww.com -> Google and facebook.ww.com -> Facebook to support the lie. "Oh, it doesn't work for your site? Well, it only works for really important websites..."

I'm with you on the food thing, being hungry truly sucks. There's a cafe I frequent that gives me a discount and I have bought many a hungry person a meal there. A nice addition is since the staff are friends the person is treated like a normal customer (though one guy kept hitting on one of the waitresses to the point of it not being funny anymore).
It's ok, lots of people forget to check so I check them anyway, and if the user that used that page hasn't used it in a bunch of years then I'm cool with it.

Don't forget that the first users signed up in '98 and they're long gone, most of the first names were nice & short so there is a good chance they're not actually in use.

I will still have to go through the logs to see if these don't have backlinks pointing to them, but I assume that isn't the case.
How about atp.ww.com -> allthingsprogress.com?
Some of those are really lame.

I don't know where the author came from, but I don't think thats true. Maybe in the black community (oh look, now I'm a racist as well...), but definitely not where I grew up. Any father who wasn't involved in the raising of their children was seen as a bit of a deadbeat.

When I read the title of the post the first thing that popped in to my head was hntrends.

It would be nice of PG could spare a static page on HN for all the user contributed stuff.
yes, that's good.
Oh, so things that are essentially squatted are fair game?

I don't see any way to tell if one's been in recent use, but I'll take dan.ww.com -> danieljackoway.com if possible.
Hehe, google.ww.com and facebook.ww.com should probably be exempted as I can see nothing but trouble coming from that.

Hilarious idea though.

You've got track.ww.com.
Sweet, I'd take:
nyc.ww.com => nyc.sewell.ch (CNAME)

Yes, on the condition that you take the 'no representation bit to heart' you've got it.
So it comes down to ownership? The 60/40 split?

The design as it is now does not matter that it's all yours. You've gone through several iterations and the mock-up was his. The initial idea was his. You are a resource. A valuable resource but a resource nonetheless. The 60/40 tells me he thinks it is all his baby and that he can replace you. You confirm that thought. He doesn't want your code and will start from scratch which tells me he really doesn't like how things have developed.

Now, you say it could launch in a week? Is it a NDA or a non-compete that he wants you to sign? NDA means nothing at this point. You built it. Non-compete would mean everything as you could take the code and launch your own project if you believe in it.

You haven't been paid, haven't any signed agreements, and have done all the coding. Legally, without any documentation, it sounds like your partner would have a tougher time to prove ownership. What's in your emails?

So ultimately you got this:
Partnership is dissolved.
Nothing is signed.

Talk to a lawyer to straighten this out. Likely a mediation to determine ownership is required.

And learn your lesson for the future: Get it in writing.
programbler.ww.com CNAME blog.sthrs.me okay? I'd really appreciate it, and thanks for the offer anyway if you don't accept.

excellent choice ;)

You've got it.
Horrible comparison. First, it's not uncommon (historically) for bad soldiers to have been executed. In Russian history alone, I can find examples of that (Trotsky's decimation in the Red Army, based of course on the Roman practice).

Second, in this case the poor performers aren't executed. They're let go, usually after being put on a pip (which can be viewed as a notice to look for another job). They can improve their performance in another job (if someone is smart, but doesn't get these things done it's a wake up call for them to establish better discipline). Similarly, in the military poor soldiers aren't usually sent into front line battles (being delegated to secondary roles).
It's good, you've got it.
There are a few sites that already do that, but I've personally never used them.

While I generally like the idea of this sort of tool, I do wonder to what degree having a database of politicians promises and positions could make it difficult for them to make needed compromises, or even just change their mind. It's a similar idea to how having a complete transcript of a conversation when arguing with someone can make it much more difficult to reach a resolution.

Unfortunately you quickly run into who-watches-the-watchers problems with these sorts of things.

The format of politifact, for instance, is quite open to being abused for political bias; all you'd need to do would be to pay more attention to the falsehoods coming from one side of politics than the other.

I'm also not convinced by the many shades of truth they have from 'true' to 'mostly true' to 'barely true' to 'false' to 'pants on fire'. While I concede the need for middle grounds between true and false when dealing with vague statements, I'm not sure how "barely true" differs from "half true" or "false" differs from "pants on fire". It would be interesting to run through the archive and see if you could pick up any clear bias in terms of who gets what ratings.

You can select the service you want to go to (mail, calendar, find my iphone, etc.) before you log in. Also the sign in box 'shakes it's head' no when you screw up your password. Pretty cool.
That one is good with me.
I use paperbackswap.com which works pretty well. I've mailed maybe 2 dozen books on the service and received maybe 10. It works quite well (though the design sensibilities are a bit off putting).
Please read:

thanks!
I am not convinced that if this went to court you WOULDNT get 50% at a minimum. A key buzzword in law is "reasonable". You guys had no contract in placed and never set or agreed to tentative terms. In the absense of that, I believe it is assumed that it is an equal partnership. The fact that it's a technology product and you did the lion's share of the work goes to your favor.

At the end of the day you dont want to work with this guy anyway. If you're bent on being reasonable, I would tell him that the terms are 50-50 and nothing less. If he wants to get a lawyer he can. Remember that he is in the same place you are in. He cant just go start another company because you have the same claim on the IP that he does. So in order for him to do it completely detached from you, I would think he needs your sign off, which you wont give unless he expressly terminates your agreement.

Hope this makes sense.
Why not just take the 60/40 equity split, but demand 50/50 voting rights? Or maybe do the opposite. Chances are he simply feels entitled to a bit more of the company, but if the company is successful that 20% difference in wealth will be fairly meaningless.

Or, maybe he wants 60% of the shares but doesn't care at all about many of the decisions.

Bottom line: Ok your partner is a prick, but he may still be a good business partner. There are also dangers in working with people who are too nice.

EDIT: Also it's worth noting that VCs are often spooked when founders don't have an equal share b/c that is a predictor of things going south as the company grows. Perhaps your cofounder would be moved by that tidbit to suck it up and be equal partners.
I don't think it's fair to go around mixing predictions and promises though.

If I break a promise, I've done something bad. If I make a prediction and I'm wrong... well, that's pretty much the nature of predictions. If I could be wrong only 49% of the time I'd be much richer than I am.
Competely off topic to this thread, but:

It's reasons like this why people obsess with Apple products. Aesthetics need to be perfected or there is no product. I for one, hold Apple in higher regard for not shipping an iPhone they are not 100% content with.

In more extreme cases, look at John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil. Rockefeller used to be the wealthiest person in the world (according to some, if you inflation adjust his money, he may have been the wealthiest person in the last 200 years). His company was broken into parts in order to promote competition.

John D. Rockefeller actually ended up being a lot richer because the courts broke up Standard Oil[1]. He went from having a controlling stake in the most powerful company in oil, to having a controlling stake in most of the powerful companies in the whole oil industry (ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP, Shell). I just wanted to clarify that point because the order in which your statement was crafted kind of made it seem like the courts broke up his wealth when they actually expanded it.

1.Rockefeller, who had rarely sold shares, held over 25% of Standard’s stock at the time of the breakup. He, as well as all stockholders, received proportionate shares in each of the 34 companies...The companies’ combined net worth rose fivefold and Rockefeller’s personal wealth jumped to $900,000,000.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Rockefeller

There's no real incentive to answer questions in chat.

Yes, there is. In fact, it's the same basic incentive that people have to answer questions on StackOverflow: to help people. The reputation system is a nice plus, but I'd hardly call it a deal breaker for it to be missing.

In order to accept your premise, you would have to agree that there is a certain class of answerer who, when presented with a question in chat, would think to themselves "gee, I think I know how to help this guy, but I'd really rather not help him since I'm not getting quasi-meaningless points on a website".

You've always said that the primary audience for StackOverflow is Google. The premise being that the site will accumulate a collection of good answers to common (and some uncommon) questions, so that the second person to ask that question won't have to. The impermanence of the chat system defeats this premise utterly.

It's also odd to see you responding negatively to a comment (i.e. negatively towards questions in chat, not the commenter) when that comment was in response to Joel himself saying chat is the best medium to ask certain classes of problems.
The site below is a nice alternative until then

Abstract: Rob Walling takes a detailed look at the nuts and bolts of launching a software product while working full-time. Topics include: our beloved startup myths, what you didn’t know about taking outside investment, the reason most products never launch, the most likely reason your product fail, how to evaluate a product idea without spending money, and the 3 best approaches to marketing your product (hint: none of them are social media).

About the Presenter:
Rob Walling is a Microsoft MVP in ASP.NET and a ten-year veteran of software entrepreneurship. Rob owns several revenue-generating products including ASP.NET invoicing software DotNetInvoice and runs the first online membership community for developer entrepreneurs and microISVs, called the Micropreneur Academy.

How to start a social movement
It is virtually impossible to measure the size of the virtual market. The number of people joining Android on a daily basis is increasing but then along comes WP7 and that may change the rate of growth. Then you have out of those people on Android the percent who share an interest in what you are developing... but the only way to reach those people is by identifying who and where they are. In-app advertisements and forum postings have been mentioned but then even only the select few who may be interested in your subject will click/participate. Yes, you face a virtual impossibility.

In our start-up world you simply cannot predict success on the measuring the size of the market. It's impossible. Think back to 2007 and tell me: What is the size of the market for Fart apps? And it will cost $0.99? My guess? Very, very limited. Huh. Guess I missed the mark on that one. Now, think back to 2005. Tell me, what is the size of the market for people to blog in 140 characters or less? My guess, pretty small. I mean, Facebook can do that. Oops. Missed that one, too. OK, now that Twitter is HUGE what is the size of the market for people willing to pay for it? A ha! Studies show near zero.

So the size of the market willing to pay $0.99 for fart apps is far bigger than that of Twitter. Amazing, eh?

So here's what you do: Go build an MVP, identify some leading influencers who could be interested in it, beta test it out, and gather feedback. That's all you really can do.
Perhaps folks interested in gaining more rep could harvest valuable questions and answers from chat and repost into the trilogy sites as a community service?

Could be, could be a large saving for minimal investment in time+money. depends on how much downloading of the images occurs normally.
Theoretically traffic over the EC2 network is private. In practice, I wouldn't want to rely on the assumption that no packet ever ends up going somewhere it ought not to; nor would I want to rely on the assumption that information doesn't leak in other ways (e.g., timing side channels -- many routers leak information about recent source packet destination addresses due to the caching of routing table lookups).

Wow, that is interesting. Huge peaks in the 1980s, 1900s and 1920s. Enormous trough during the 1950s.

It probably wouldn't be unfair to assign the first peak to the internal combustion engine plus electrification, and the second to the microprocessor.
Thank you for your kind feedback. I think this comment says more about you than it does about me.

The point is: If enough people abuse this I might have to put a stop to it.

So, to make sure that it is absolutely clear that this is not to be used for mission critical stuff because I reserve the right to 'undo' it.

Most likely it will last forever but I do not wish to have anybody sue me at some point for making a promise that I could not keep.

Looking forward to more positive contributions from you in the future.

I just used Smush.it to optimise a couple of images on http://lanyrd.com/ (the logo and the background image) and it knocked a good 5KB off the page load - not too bad at all.

Our filenames are generated from the truncated SHA1 hash of the file contents, so logo.png becomes logo.16c7e567.png - which means we can safely set a far-future expires header and serve through Amazon CloudFront without worrying about changes to the images, JavaScript or CSS not propagating to the live site.

I don't see the issue here as being the choice of the easiest road, but of the road with the least to lose. There is definitely a lawsuit here if he decides to continue with the product and use the code he created, leading to quite a few legal fees. If he drops it and moves on to another product he is guaranteed not to lose any more money on this project.

I would strongly suggest a mediator, or a group of mediators. I don't think you need lawyers, but other people whom you mutually select in the software business would be good. What's the revenue model for the startup? Will you need to take more funding or do a lot more work in order to get to minimum "buyable" product? If I were in your shoes, I'd try to figure that out frankly before deciding next steps.
I think you missed the point of the article. What's more or less interesting is not that there's a horde of employees in Apple with access to the device. That's a given. I'm more or less impressed with the fact that the device has not been released simply due to Apple's level of standards when it comes to their products. I can almost guarantee most companies would have released the product as-is.
The world would be a lot simpler if logic like this was sufficient to dispose of legal issues as severe as "someone who I call my cofounder believes he owns 60% of my business".
No need to apologize, I totally understand. Could I get derf.ww.com? It appears to be free.

Take it for what it is and use it to your advantage. If you find it useful or are grateful for the contribution then vote it up. The fact of the matter is that you are a hater. Here's another fun fact for you. Haters are the lamest kind of fans, because they're too proud/unaware to admit their love.

Surely 1400+ is only one thousand and so not "thousands"; whilst it is 14 hundreds and so is "hundreds".
I'd suggest agreeing to the 60/40 split. He'd feel like he got what he wanted & you would launch your 1,200 hours of work. HOWEVER, would it be possible to structure the 60/40 split so that any shares handed out in future rounds of funding will come from his 60% since he is the "business guy"? If you can do that, then your minority % may become an equal or even greater % as the site grows & needs capital for expansion.

My project has me holding onto the majority of shares, but with the full knowledge that those shares will be the source of shares allocated to investors as more capital is injected. Unless he is a greedy bastard I don't see why he wouldn't consider something of the sort.
This comment makes no sense. I'm an employer. I assure you, you do not need to offer health benefits, pay unemployment insurance, or even pay on a regular schedule for someone to be classified your "employee"; having seen unemployment insurance SNAFUs firsthand, let me assure you that "jail" doesn't enter the picture here at all --- they simply send you a bill.
I agree. It might be good to have some distinction between promises and predictions on this hypothetical site.
Sorry
