Depending on how many images you have. Doesn't that mean that it has to download each image and then re-upload them? Could be quite a cost for minimal savings if you have a large number of images to store.

Edit: I'm talking about 20,000+ product images, not the images or files associated with a layout.

Jason, the email field in your profile is just visible to you, you need to add another address in the text blurb.

Ooh. I would have to agree with tptacek.
You need to just move on.
At this point the project isn't complete and is not even a business. To get a lawyer will cost money and you will be fighting over intellectual property.

I don't want to tell you not to consult an attorney but it will be a long drawn out process that will kill your creative spark and passion for the project anyways.

I was just talking with someone last night about how once money or vested interests is involved it is too late to sign agreements. It must be done first. Sorry this had to happen to you. I am sure you learned some valuable lessons that you can't learn in school.
How about setting news.ww.com to forward to news.ycombinator.com? Or even... Y.ww.com? (if possible, and okay by pg. Just an idea.)
Here are some I own and someday hope to develop (been saying that for a long time)

ransm.com

jobify.me - Job site

dejunkify.com - I don't quite remember maybe a site to put you in touch with trusted people to haul stuff off.

blogpress.net

daycationing.com

These two are someday going to be "local for sale by owner" type sites for 2 Texas counties.

Even though Telmex (his landline company) was acquired from the state, and therefore was a monopoly from the start, Slim faced a monopoly by Iusacell on the wireless phone industry, which he managed to break and manage to get Telcel (his wireless company) to become a monopoly basically by making people want to switch.

Slim's story includes several investments on different industries, including specialty shops (Sanborn's) which he has managed to completely turn around from near-bankrupcy to huge commercial success.

I am not making a claim that his wealth from Telmex didn't contribute to his success, but implying he just managed to get where he is because Mexico's regulatory bodies are useless is a huge understatement to his ability in an industry where several key players (Like AT&T, Nextel, Telefonica Movistar, and others have failed).
I can do that. But only if PG agrees, no problem from my end.

Damn. I watched a short film very similar to this where a mathematician woman made a super computer in her home to do the same thing. It pissed off her husband who finally takes off and she's left with her obsession. Can't remember the name.
I know CrazyEgg has a nice overlay but its more color and heatmap oriented. I think thats a small feature to add in In-Page Analytics... Color coding the page would give more insights.
From the line I quoted from you. Clearly you seemed to be implying that working at a company like Microsoft meant that you would be a poor employee at a startup company. Of course you didn't elaborate as to why, so I did it for you.

The problem is that he leaves so much underspecified.

This may be a reaction to the extremes of WSDL and SOAP, but how could the current outcomes and state of "REST" APIs be any different, if no one person can agree particularly much on what a REST architecture is?
I can also offer "C++ in 21 days" which is a decent book, barring it's awful title.
Vincent is good.
Semantics matter if they affect expectations. For me (at least), charity means giving money away and hoping for the best. Investment means getting involved with something, and making sure the money invested is properly used. The term "investment" implies a greater level of involvement.

Giving money away as "charity" can be an excuse for not actually getting involved.

At least it didn't refer to it as an "epidemic", which is a pet peeve of mine. I think "epidemic" should be confined to contagious diseases and/or things which are analogous to contagious diseases.

Anyway, I wonder how this is measured. How the hell do we know how much fat and sugar are being consumed? Even if we know how much is being produced there has to be a certain percentage which is wasted.
>Spending time identifying unmanageable poor performers does generate very high returns IF YOU FIRE THEM. In software, poor performers can actually have negative productivity: Their presence slows the rest of the team down.

excellent advice. Before going into mission, platoon leader should better shoot all his bad soldiers, so they wouldn't slow the team down.

If great companies were built by those exerting the least effort we would live in a very different world today.

The early histories of many successful SV companies are peppered with a sour business deal or two. The winners are those that hung on and fought. Did Gates walk away when when Jobs discovered that he was building GUIs? Who walked away from Facebook? Zuckerberg or the other guys? You know the twins...or "those other people" whoever they were. You get the point. Exactly, its just businesses.

You only need a small difference in relative fitness for an allele to completely wipe out another over a relatively short timespan; the only counteracting agent I think is the increased global mobility of intelligent people such that it's reasonable for them to cover vast distances to still find one another, so we may instead end up with a two-class strain.

On the other hand, religious zealots opposed to birth control may get the upper hand. I don't think there's a necessary intrinsic correlation between religious zealotry and intelligence. Religion by itself is largely about ingroup / outgroup dynamics and power structures, which don't seem to have necessary positive or negative relationships with intelligence.
Personally I suggest a corded hammer drill and a cordless drill without hammer action. This makes the cordless much lighter and it become aa joy working with plasterboard or wood.

I'd love the AI book. My undergrad didn't cover any AI topics and so I've been looking forward to spending some time with this book to get a deep understanding of the subject matter. Skynet is my inspiration :) I'm in Boston and happy to cover shipping.
Highlighting to find new stuff would work better if each article could show up highlighted at most once. For instance "The Original Microsoft Windows 1.0 Press Release" is highlighted and marked as "0 hours ago" both at 05:00 and 06:00.
Thanks. I have a few more questions if you don't mind :)

"Right now I'm making laughably small amounts of money (non-negative, but insufficient to support me)"

Is this because of lack of volume (i.e., fund too small), or because of algo quality issues? Do you try to compete with the big boys heads-on (in generic stock trading) or do you specialize, trying to add market knowledge to your model?

I guess my question is, do you have purely statistical models or do you try to model process-based, with information from outside the exchange feed?

How do you handle this technically? Do you have direct access to a broker API? Don't the fees kill you on that?
Public health officials and researchers get funding for epidemics, therefore if you want funding you better start calling whatever it is you're researching an epidemic.

The decision to put the content that the NYTimes produces behind a paywall should be the decision of the NYTimes. Regardless of how great the idea is, how noble the intent, and how you're honestly trying to pay for the content, it's not your guys' place to force the NYTimes to accept a third-party payment.

It might ultimately turn out that Kachingle's way of doing things is the best solution for the NYTimes, but they should be allowed to come to that conclusion themselves.

I'm not sure what your founder's tweet does for this conversation.

Thanks for the response Bill.
"I strongly disagree. Seeing that image immediately tells any straight women or gay mean in the room that she or he is not the expected audience for the talk."

It does something else as well, especially in a male-dominated conference or profession - it makes women or gay men in the audience feel like the Other, rather than a like-minded colleague/member of the group/just another conference attendee.

Their attention shifts from the topic of the conference to, in women's case, preparing to fend off diverting, unwanted advances, and in gay guys' case... well that I'm not sure.

It changes the entire group dynamic for the rest of the conference for them, but the straight guys doing it are usually totally oblivious to it. The 'Others' leave the conference with their perception of that community as a group to which they will always be an outsider.

It does another thing too that you allude to in #41 - it offends straight men who know there's a time and a place for such stuff, that a programming conference is neither (at least not during the sessions or as part of a presentation), and that see cheap 'sex sells' strategies of manipulation for what they are - lazy, boorish, non-intellectually stimulating excuses for a lack of a truly good presentation.

It's amazing how uneven the overall living conditions are across the world, yet so many people who are living in one of the top 20 countries still complain that they don't have enough opportunities and can't do what they want, while other people from the rest of the countries would change to world if they would have the opportunity to live in a better place.

I always wanted to try SproutCore but never had a full JS application to code to try it.

With the integration Yehuda announces with JQuery and the creation of JQuery plugins extracted from SproutCore I'll give a go on some components.

I'm wondering if Yehuda was the origin of this decision as an (ex ?) core developer of JQuery.

Anyway, all of this is very exciting !
Launch. If it gets traction and it looks like court is the only other option, make a settlement with him. Don't worry what is "fair" or about the work you've already sunk in. Just make sure it's worth it for you, get him out of the way whatever it takes, and move on.
That one is ok.
agreed. fat tends to get a bad rap because processed high sugar foods tend to also be high in fat (or be eaten with high fat foods...see: Mcdonald's french fries and Coca-Cola).
Cool idea.

It is evident that the other founder isn't wealthy and would have an equally hard time fighting this legally. Furthermore, it is evident that although the other founder may have a claim, it will be circumstantial at best. The op is in a more powerful position. It would be foolish to back down.

You are not the other founder by any chance, are you?

(I'm going to assume you meant Brave New World rather than some other thing I haven't heard of...)

You're right, though; I just went back and re-read the first chapter, there's no mention of the different castes being differentiated until after fertilization. Of course there's much we know now that Huxley didn't know about genetics, so if you were to try to start up a Brave New World society then genetics would be the right place to start.

Other technological problems with BNW include the attempts to teach values by subliminal messages during sleep, which afaik have now been pretty much proven to be a bunch of hooey.

The main problem, I think, is that you'd almost certainly always wind up with an overlap between your castes -- your smartest gammas would be smarter than your dumbest betas. That's not necessarily a big problem, though.
nothing malign, just think its a neat, clever url. I'd probably use it as a shortener for a couple of my blogs, but if it doesn't sit well with you, can I have jed.ww.com?
I'm not sure why, but when I replied to this comment earlier, HN wouldn't let me actually reply under the comment. See my answer above.
Ok, that one is fine by me.
"For example, you might start at the root resource http://foo.com/api/ . It returns, as content, a set of subresources that can be requested. The API documentation should describe what data the server sends for /api/ -- what format it's in (HTML, XML, JSON, etc), how to find its subresources (<a>, <form>, id'ed elements), and any relationship"

Good luck doing that for "FTP, SSH, whatever"
Well, the code was developed without a contract, and was never shared. IE. it was not a work for hire. It was not documented, even if it was implied.

He also never agreed to any trade secret documents or IP documents with his potential co-founder.

did you sign any incorporation papers?

It's a creative work, and... although his friend that intended to start a business didn't do what was necessary to lock up the code either. they both foobared this.

It might be hard to start a business with that code, but I am pretty sure he would not be liable for damages if it was opensourced.

By this logic and after legal advice, if one were to open source the code, it would be usable by both parties, and he would still have the technical advantage.

This is the leverage he can use to control the agenda of the discussions. Opensource gives him an advantage over his potential co-founder, one that can not be undone.

Also, if both parties agree to keep it closed, then they might agree to some partnership in each others new company.

I would advise against the freeBSD or MIT licenses, a good copyright lawyer will know which license will still allow for a derivative work, since you wont want to use the code just as a library.

I have hacked on projects with friends and for a variety of reasons have decided to move on. These recommendations are part of how we have discussed how to amicably move on. We are still friends today.

We wanted to sustain value in what we did, but decided that building a business around the idea was maybe not the best idea.
yes, that's a nice one. you've got it.
Not unless he paid him regularly, offered him health benefits, and paid unemployment insurance. A claim like that could land his "friend" in jail.
Right on. Glad that we're basically on the same page.

I found this oral history interview of Jean Bartik one of the 6 original ENIAC programers. Read the anecdote from page 41-42 for a view of how it was for women in computing back then.

It's a crazy read where they discuss the invention of the concept of parity in memory, late 40's sexism in the work place and McCarthyism. I find this absolutely fascinating.
I'm not sure about the original hilux on top gear, but I'm pretty suspicious about some more recent episodes. There was an episode in S15 where May drove to the top of a Volcano (in a water/alcohol-cooled hilux). And every shot of the car looked like it had just been freshly polished/waxed.
Just wondering, perhaps an opportunity here, is there anything like netflix for books?
Why not use a Linode or Slicehost slice.

Of course you'll need to setup the slice by yourself but you shouldn't need more than few hours and AFAIK it's cheaper (I use Linode and I'm very happy with it).

Your "swing performers" theory also applies to teaching. In an online course I used to teach I found there were roughly three types of students:
- People who already knew the subject and/or were capable self-learners, and who only needed me for some comments and the final assessment.
- People who could benefit from my concentrated effort and actually learn during the course.
- People who, for whatever reason, would not respond to efforts to help. Some of them were functionally illiterate, which is a real problem in online education. Of course, they should have been culled out by intake, but I digress...

I would spend the first third of each course identifying each group, and for the rest I would use my time more efficiently by engaging directly with those in the second group.

Now you have given me a name, I am going to call them "swing learners". Thanks!
jed is cool.

And I agree it's clever ;)
How about nic.ww.com to 209.20.78.140 :)
"start from scratch again by finding a co-founder or hiring a developer to build his idea." more likely than not means he is taking you for a ride.
I don't want any subdomain. Just wanted to say 'thank you' for being so generous.
I would love to jump in and criticize the guy for his comments, but we all live in a welfare state. How many success stories have you heard of people on Welfare that came up with an idea, successfully turned it into a business and are now living happily ever after? I presume not many.

My point here is that most people are not Bill Gates, Steve jobs, Warren Buffet or Mr. Slim. Simply put most people if given money do not spend it wisely and often find themselves in similar situations within short periods of time because they feel entitled to something being given to them.

Now this is not to say that there are exceptions to that rule, I truly believe there are. I think the bill and Melinda Gates foundation has done tremendous work, as have other organizations like the scoff Tiger Woods organization. But these examples focus on the betterment of communities and are not the benevolent "Robin Hood" type charities which indeed exist to this day (some with very little practical accomplishment) While one commenter was right that the Rockefeller's donated VERY significant amounts of their money to charity I think they have an important oversight. the Rockefellers ruled the world through their "charity" essentially having every company and political pundit in their back pocket. What Gates and Buffet do with their charitable contributions are significantly more benevolent than most figures of the past. Though again there are some exceptions (Corneilus Vanderbilt comes to mind) to that rule as well.

Then again we all have opinions, and that is just mine. :)

So without dragging this on too much what i am meaning to say is maybe we're all right. And by Mr. Slim donating fair amounts to the Gates foundation he may even be saying he agrees, in the end the truth is that even the most intelligent and business savvy people in the world have radically different views on this, its my opinion that we need both of those views and types of people for society's continued evolution

> Race comes into the picture because having a different race often means you have different cultural aspects thats formed you as the person you are today.

If true and job relevant (that the cultural aspects had some effect on how they approach problems), that means that different races will have different success likelyhoods in a given occupation.

Why? Because success in a given occupation does not depend on all things equally.

> each individual grew up with a cultural background that does influence the ideas they come up with

Yup, and since different ideas are more useful in different occupations....
21 is a bit strange... that only makes sense because right now we can assume the other person is male. If it were split evenly, men would think the same thing if a woman took them out...
tempfile, thanks for the heads up. removed it.
Yes, often businesses don't understand development... but...

Us dev's have it drilled into us time and time again that we are so special and can't possibly be expected to participate in the company as a whole (our time is too valuable! we can't stick to a schedule! they don't understand software!).

That's a load of bullshit, developers don't get to wall off their private kingdom of code, same as no one else gets to wall off their section of responsibility and dictate outwards from within. Please stop furthering the (on that note) false dichotomy that programmers are either:
1) mismanaged by egregiously incompetent tyrants
2) given free reign to dictate to the business

Software developers don't deserve any inherent respect. Their value added to the business does.
I was with you until the last line... seriously?
Yes, that's cool, you've got it.
If you can get a signed 60/40 contract with no vesting period, this might be the way to go.

Your co-founder launches it and then you quit with the equity. He can find someone else to carry on the code. If he's successful, then so are you.

Good luck. I've been where you're at. It ain't fun, but life goes on...
