I think our split is something like 40/25/25/10 right now, but at this point the real focus is on building a profitable business, not arguing over who owns what.
I haven't setup payment processing since around 2002 or 2003, but it sounds like things have improved considerably. Back then, around the only option was Paypal. To get that to work (in any sort of automated fashion), you had to utilize their API and write your own custom code to process all of the communication with Paylal and your site and your database and to update accordingly (to acknowledge payments, subscriptions, user status change, re-ups, etc).

It wasn't as complex as I had feared it was going to be, but it was far from simple and farther from ideal. Especially since they had a habit of changing the API and the automated services over time.

I also never liked that you had to kick users out to the Paypal site at some point, to facilitate the payment.
Are there a lot that don't work or something?
argh, this isn't quite how the menu is implemented in tweetie. the tweet menu starts out underneath the tweet itself and the swipe causes the tweet to slide over the menu and out of the way.

The way they explain it, the tweet menu also slides in/out from offscreen with the tweet itself.

The difference is not really significant, but the effect is a bit different. I'm guessing the menu view just lives underneath of the tweet view in the table cell from the beginning, but i'm not completely sure.

tweetie's tweet menu also has a neat animation effect by having each menu button "pop" a little (zoom in and out quickly) as it is revealed when the tweet is sliding out of the way. subtle, but neat. then the tweet view "bounces" as it hits the left side wall as it slides back in.

not bashing the article, it is very informative; but the implementation in tweetie was very well thought out and is a bit more complicated than it lets on.

there is, however, a bug in tweetie with these menus. if you slide a tweet out and then slide it back in by touching somewhere else, you cannot slide the tweet out again until you somehow reload the view (e.g. by tapping on a tweet to view details then popping back out to the timeline).
Ironic to promote this on HN but you do need options in life. :) Don't trust what you read. Talk to folks who went to the various incubators and find out what works best for you. AngelPad worked really well for us due to the more hands-on mentoring model, laser focus by ex-Google PMs (the AP mentors) on the stuff that matters and the intensity of DemoDay prep. Stay away from AngelPad if you want a cushy startup life :)

[Summary]Comment points are a way of outsourcing BS detection to people with considerably more knowledge than me.

I don't consider myself knowledgeable enough in the fields covered within hackernews to weed out the genuinely sagely advice from the erudite crap. I learn a huge amount from coming here and I feel I have lost a tool which helped me judge what I needed to dig into and study and what is just todays kool aid/lie/misunderstanding. I hope they get brought back, even just as an option.
One more thing I dont understand is why people choose names like babyli.st, sleepyti.me etc. Is it not irritating to choose name including the extension?? Best way to type these would be to type the full name, move back and put DOT ;)

This is a social problem -- what Open Source licenses do is to allow you to make forks in case you're unhappy with the way the project is being managed.

If that's not a reasonable advantage and you still depend on the goodwill of the parent company for future versions -- then you're basically saying that open-source / free-software licenses are useless.

Which is not true, as there are examples of famous forks available -- see XFree86 / Xorg; although forks don't happen so often because they take a lot of resources and energy, and there has to be enough incentive for a fork to survive.
This is a nightmare. Please end this. There are 201 comments in this thread at this moment. I am not interested in reading 201 comments about this experiment. I am however very much interested in seeing what the top few most insightful comments in this thread are. That is a very important signal. Right now I am feeling blind as a bat...
Contract to Perm roles are growing in popularity but the point you mention about risking a secure job with no assurance of getting a full time role with your new company is the biggest issue.

The fact is, candidates don't take the risk and rightfully so.

This process, however, works brilliantly with graduates or candidates that are currently unemployed.
I'd prefer no visible "karma" at all. Karma should define a comment's placing in the thread/a posts' placing on the main page - nothing more. No user karma.

Also no user nicknames - if we had a truly anonymous discussion culture there would be more interesting discussions and people wouldn't be afraid of posting controversial opinions.
It seems to me that part of the value of the experiment is that pg is getting vast amounts of meaty feedback that is based on actual experience rather than conjecture. "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone." It's just kind of a shame that so much of it is framed so negatively. I also hope that complaints or popular vote are not pg's highest priority. I hope he has some more meaningful measure in mind/ in use for determining the value of the impact on his goals for the site.

Peace.

It amazes me how many developers (even ones who like coffeescript) feel compelled to rage on behalf some hypothetical developer who is capable of learning all of the other stuff in Rails but whose head will explode the moment he touches a .coffee file.

Not to mention the people who "left Ruby a while ago" but are somehow super passionate about this commit.
No kidding. Why is it scary to study CS for pecuniary reasons? I find it more appalling that the author glorifies "doing computer science" as a life goal. Self.profession != most important profession.

Most importantly, I think everyone who's willing to work hard enough to learn to program deserves the opportunity to earn dev wages.

If the theoretical CS courses are brimming with dollar-seekers, Stanford can add more practical programming courses. Everyone wins.

Also no user nicknames - if we had a truly anonymous discussion culture there would be more interesting discussions and people wouldn't be afraid of posting controversial opinions.

Perhaps. However, anonymity also tends to bring out the worst social behaviors. And if everyone was completely anonymous to that degree, you couldn't figure out if you were consistently being harassed by a particular individual or if all the snarky comments aimed at you came from different people.

Skimming allows me to draw my own signal to noise line in the sand which is important irrespective of however good the default signal is. I will never be interested in reading 204 comments about this topic however good they may be. I am definitely interested in reading the top 12 or so. This experiment is horrible.
Your comment is very interesting, because it relates to my previous post who essentially recommends moonlighting (at the early stage) - see http://www.stangeek.com/your-best-business-angel-yourself
We split ownership 50/50, and agreed that there would be a rate of interest on documented unbalanced cash investments, and costs + similar accruing rate of interest for labour (coding, marketing, accounting, etc...).

The payments for investment and labour + interest sit senior to any dividend payments, so owning 50/50 only affects voting rights until the cost of what has been put in is paid off.

It turned out the work + cash was pretty equal, so the issue didn't come up.
Is there such a thing as a "standard" interest rate? One of the main factors in determining the rate on a loan is the risk of default. For a newly incorporated company -- that's going to be high.

Both partners might work as hard, but they don't share the same risks. One has put X thousand more into the business, and they should be compensated for that additional investment. The fairest way to do that is to consider what terms you'd find reasonable on an investment of similar risk.
I think your first suggestion touches an important point - it may be useful to consider the different reasons people vote on comments, which I believe are broadly:

a) they agree/disagree with the opinion stated in the comment

b) they accept/deny the factual accuracy of the comment

c) they feel the comment does/does not contribute to the overall discussion; in my experience here, this seems to be heavily influenced by a) and b)

and possibly

d) they like/dislike the person posting the comment

I find the scoring useful for cases b) and c); in case a) I've found the absence of scoring more useful as it gives me more space to think about my reaction to what's being said, and not just follow everyone else. Case d) is trickier - I don't think many people would agree to hiding account names as well but I think it would be an interesting exercise!

So, perhaps it would be helpful to categorise the voting a bit? Accurate/inaccurate, agree/disagree, contributes/doesn't? Of course, there is a usability trade-off.
I guess the effect here is that some people may be voting to what they think the comment is worth. So if you already have 50 point for a comment they would be thinking yeah that seems about right for the content provided in that comment I'll leave it without voting. Whereas without the points this effect goes away and the same person is likely to up vote you.

Not that I have spent a great deal of time reading comments since the change but I think I may be voting less, I guess there might be an effect there where subconsciously I am less likely to vote because I don't know what kind of an impact the vote is going to make.

Also with a thread like this one with so many comments, the votes can help guide you in what are the key takeaways without having to read the whole thing. In the same way the high voted items can give you some of the best stuff without having to spend hours trawling through many items. I guess in that way the changes effect those that want to get a quick hacker news fix around other activities more than someone who has a few hours to really go in depth on topics.
I was a cofounder in the second batch of AngelPad (www.crittercism.com) Here's why I would recommend AngelPad:

- Coworking space: received a lot of great feedback and help from the other cofounders. We also became pretty good friends with all of the other teams.

- Founder experience: a lot of the other founders had a lot of work experience. One founder was the first product manager at youtube, first employee at slide.

- Industry connections: a lot of the mentors are still in industry (VPs at LinkedIn, Facebook, etc). The google mafia is VERY WELL connected. Basically, you can pretty much get access to anyone you need to be successful, from top VCs to the CEO of twitter.

- Mentors: we had five mentors that were impressively available (Thomas Korte met with every team every monday for 30 minutes and you met with another mentor usually at least once a week). I exchanged emails at 2am with one of the mentors throughout the program! All of the mentors are amazing and people you really look forward to working with.
I'm not contradicting UG. From what I took out of the linguistics course I took at university, the idea is that part of this innate ability is an innate understanding of grammar, or rather we expect to learn grammar and so when we receive all the "input" our mind tries to make sense of it.
I don't see why this should be controversial, it's so easy to switch to Haml, Sass or jQuery when you need/want to. The defaults are there to get the uninitiated off the ground as quickly as possible, and is in keeping with the 'rails way'.

I, on the other hand, have my 'own way', and rails doesn't in any way prevent me from implementing that when I start a new rails project.

Eating together is also a bonding experience. So eating together can help foster trust. (Though I think this depends in part on the experience being a successful experience -- hating where the other person likes to eat might tell you there are potentially bigger problems in your future.)
Hate to disagree with such a distinguished source, but having done it:

Very realistic. Looking at the compiled CoffeeScript taught me more Javascript than all of the tutorials put together, and CoffeeScript itself was a joy to learn. I think you're under estimating your own baby here, jashkenas.

I would point out that you're not so much 'skipping' learning JS, as that learning CS is the quickest way I've found so far to learn JS.
That would immediately bring on a slew of browser extensions/userscripts that unhide them. Not sure if they'd be popular enough te negate the effect.

What do you mean? You can enter into contracts and they are fully binding for the other party. It's only you, the minor, that can sometimes choose to ignore the contract legally. That's why most businesses choose not to contract with minors, but if they do, they are enforceable.
It seems like it's a localization string identifier, which means it probably stands for a tangible product, and it seems strange that a developer would randomly add and commit that change.

I'm going to guess that it was a mis-merge in the App Store codebase and that Lion will be able to run iOS apps (using the MacBook touchpad or Magic Trackpad for multitouch). I mean, Snow Leopard already runs iOS apps pretty much natively if you have the SDK installed.
The way I understood Spolsky the IOU was between the founders, i.e. it would even apply if the company went bankrupt. If that is the correct interpretation, they share the same risk.

I re-read the entry and it isn't clear to me if Spolsky thinks the IOU should be there even if the company ceases to exists. Me and my two co-founders had a similiar arrangement, albeit with very small amounts, and after the company died they paid me back the unofficial loan. We were all students and I happened to have some more disposable money for initial investments (under $3000 though).

In the abstract you're right to question what Mr. Market wants. But in this specific case, it's clear why the economy would be more productive if more people knew how to code. (And coding doesn't incur negative externalities.)

I think the easiest way would be to do it yourself if it is possible to obtain the owner's info. More personal and you get a feeling for the situation. I would be willing to bet that a personal email or call would be far more effective in triggering a saleswish than just some professional calling.
The type of business you are building has a big impact on the importance of this. If you are building a sustainable long term business then the wages are probably more important than fighting over the exact equity. As over the course of the business you will probably generate more value out of the wages than the sale.

If you are shooting for the starts with something heavily venture backed then it becomes a far bigger factor in the end result.
The GPL requires that sort of thing

It's a gray area.

If you accompany your binary release with a "written offer", you can actually postpone the source release. The GPL doesn't give a deadline either.

People are trying to make this a licensing issue, when it definitely it is not.

You can always fork Android, and Google cannot sue you for patent infringement (courtesy of the Apache license). The problem then is that the fish doesn't come free anymore -- which is the main gripe of people (i.e. the only valid concern I see for Android is that development is not done in the open).

As for the "users cannot do whatever they want with their devices" -- they can always buy alternative devices, or build their own devices (isn't that the purpose of Free Software anyway?). If openness is really what people need, open devices will win because it is a free market (the Nexus S is doing well in my country btw).

Chad, thanks for the feedback.

I was already planning to do the popping of each menu button in a follow up post.

You're right about the menu appearing underneath the tweet. Luckily doing it that way is just as easy as having them animate together. I'll look at modifying the code to handle both animation styles.

The bounce is already implemented in the current code.

I agree with you that Tweetie's implementation is well thought out. The goal is to have a 100% faithful recreation that is indistinguishable from the original
NASA's budget has been pretty steady at about half its boom-time moon-landing 60's budget for several decades. http://jeffreyellis.org/images/NASA_budget_history_2.png That's $15 Billion a year - not a ton of money when the shuttle costs a billion per launch, but I'll bet it's plenty in the hands of a more efficient organization such as SpaceX, with costs 1/5 - 1/10th as much.

There's certainly some nice features, and it's a nice UI. But I much prefer Twitter clients that show more tweets on the screen at once. The large location and retweet-info bars mean I see about 30% fewer tweets in some parts of my timeline compared to other apps, even with the small font size set. Anyone find this is an immediate turn-off for a twitter app?

Thanks. I watched the video only after reading your comment. I found something new about fructose so it was worth it. I personally am turned off by his presentation style. He tries to hard to convince me of his conclusion, too rhetorically and indeed before he had presented his reasons. Nevertheless I feel that the theory of what he presented is pretty much right and the only question appears to be to what degree you agree with his conclusions.

again, great post. looking forward to the follow ups! i really dig your blog, btw. very helpful and clear. i just happened to have spent a lot of time with tweetie and its nuances since i modeled a bunch of UI effects it has into the Notifo app.
I'm curious to how AngelPad companies do post incubation and what the resumes of the founders look like: (1) Does AngelPad typically look for Google/FB experience or are they okay with founders without that type of experience, (2) How many AngelPad companies have gone on to raise money (how much does AngelPad help with that) or grow significantly?
Yeah, another post praising the greatness of Lisp without any backup in actual evidence. Dude, you'd be infinitely more convincing having actually produced something great with Lisp or at least showing how its unique features can be used for this purpose.
