OK, you've got this thing off the ground, and it's bringing in a trivial amount of cash (compared to the salary you'd get at the "normal job" you could obviously get with your skills.) It sounds like you are committed to the product, and want press on and see how big you can build it -- while your cofounder would rather move on to something else, but doesn't want to pass up a share of the winnings if the project ultimately becomes successful. I've read between the lines a bit, but assuming that's right:

I think that life is too short to waste it in dysfunctional working situations. I would fix the team at all costs, and if I couldn't fix the team then I'd walk away ASAP and start something new. You're worth it -- your best is yet to come!

So I'd be bold: I'd tell my cofounder, "You have two options. Either you quit and give up most (but not all) of your stock, or I quit. If you quit, then I will focus entirely on this and work very hard to make it successful, and you might well make a significant amount of money from the small stake you keep. If I quit, then we both know that you're not going to work on the project all that seriously. Neither of us will make any money. It's your choice, but what you don't get to do is to keep your 50% while I bust my ass to make the company succeed, and you slack off."

I would also say, "As a 50% equity holder, I say that if you want to draw a salary, you need to be 100% focused on the product. I don't think you can do that and simultaneously travel around the continent. I won't let us pay dividends under the guise of paying salary, to either of us."

In the the scenario where your cofounder quits, I'd offer to let him keep, say, 7.5% of the company. You started in July and it's now November, so you've done 5 months of work. Assuming that he'd been on a 4-year founder vesting schedule (very common in founder agreements) with generous monthly vesting, he'd have vested 5/48 = 10.4% of his shares, or 5.2% of the company. So 7.5% is a generous offer by one commonly accepted standard.

You can also make an argument around your cofounder's fiduciary responsibility. In making management decisions, he is supposed to do what's best for the company, not what's best for himself as an individual shareholder/employee.

Summary: I think it's worth your time to work on this project if and only if your disinterested cofounder will get out of your way. That means resigning, fixing the cap table, and leaving you the cash in the bank for product development. If your cofounder won't cooperate, don't waste any more time fighting with him -- spend that time productively, on building something even more awesome.

One guy's opinion, HTH. Congratulations on your successes so far and good luck!
I have recently implemented a basic GIF parser and writer in Haskell for a school project. The code can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/nudded/gif-parser/src/

I think it shows how easy it is to write parsers in Haskell. Don't bother to look at the LZW decode and encode, it's rather dirty.
Core assertion:

I was a member of the summer 2011 class of Y Combinator and I can tell
you first hand that it was one of the most homogeneous environments I had
ever been in. It’s true that there was little diversity in the racial sense
but what struck me most was the lack of diversity of backgrounds,
attitudes, and personality types.
A much better explanation is here:

Actually; that is a prime example of where the deletion process is failing - because the only option is "delete or not delete".

That article is a problem; if you read it, it is not a biography, it describes an event. Which, I suspect, is the point the nominator was trying to make.

For a reader, the content is better presented in an article on Women's rights in Egypt (or activism in Egypt) with the title redirected there.

Alternatively there is always Wikinews.
Enthusiastic people with out technical knowledge are needed. First off a good idea with leadership can succeed in this area. The way to make mesh work which has not been tried has nothing to do with technology or any other comment issue found here. It has to do with how people get the internet right now. If you set up consumer sales side of your mesh project to look like any other ISP from the consumer perspective, i.e. you call up a number and a few hours or days later you have internet then it can work. Issues specific to mesh are you need to focus on islands, so you can only offer service in an ever growing area. As the mesh grows sales can grow until the islands merge. In the meantime, before islands merge you need to have access to old fashioned wire as well as after they merge. Ultimately its just another business model. It can work if deployed well.
It is simply ridiculous that non-experts are deciding whether a page stays or goes. Wikipedia should take a leaf out of scientific journals (you know, the real place knowledge is shared) and appoint boards of editors who are proud to use their own name on the internet and have a reputation built on real knowledge in their domain. They can then decide who is notable or not according to their own rules.

Besides, I thoroughly believe that Wikipedia should allow far more articles in, and people can make their own decisions whether to read them or not.

"Censorship is the suppression of speech or other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient to the general body of people as determined by a government, media outlet, or other controlling body." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship

I think the key word here is Suppression which doesn't have to be as extreme as in your example. Censorship is not a binary thing, it's on a scale. Simply using tactics to discourage something can be considered suppression in my view.

Stories like this pop up frequently on HN. But I'm intrigued by your post post script. What do you think is the reason for the proliferation of these studies, and why do they so often ignore the correlation-does-not-prove-causation fallacy?

In this case, I see two possibilities. The Bureau of Labor Statistics author is too dumb to understand the fallacy. The second is that she does understand the fallacy, but thinks that at least some Americans won't. If the latter, what purpose would that serve?

Interesting.
I would do the same.

But if I find 12 weeks guy to be more productive than the CS guy.

I will be hiring the 12 weeks guy not the CS guy. I'm hiring people for getting stuff done. Not just because they know something.
Ok. So your ideal contribution from him in regards to this is no contribution at all, right?

I agree it would be great for him to have a lot of love and handholding to get to the point where he realizes that he's in the wrong. And equally that it would be great for him to get enough support that he goes on to edit other things.

But honestly, I don't expect that he would ever do that. He's a legitimately busy and important guy, and he also clearly thinks he's pretty darned important. He wasn't really willing to engage seriously with Wikipedia or to take a little time to understand what was going on. All he really wanted to do was bitch until he got his way, or until he got tired of bitching.

So although I agree with a lot of your concerns about Wikipedia's user-hostile software and newbie-hostile community, in this case I'm not so sure there's a problem. I have actually spent time calming people like him down on AfDs; it's a thankless job. Maybe it's better for everybody if people promoting their pal's pages just go off in a huff immediately without further taxing the patience of Wikipedia volunteers.
Doesn't this demonstrate the problem with Wikipedia?

Content pages 3,805,705
Pages 25,581,176
(All pages in the wiki, including talk pages, redirects, etc.)

And is that content page edits, or just all page edits?
While some here would probably see you as just a glue coder who lacks true understanding, I at least want to applaud you.

You've established a beach head in the realm of coding; all the fancy understanding of eg recursive combinators, malloc() optimization, JOIN semantics, inheritance vs composition, etc, will come later.

Come on, we all started in PHP or QBasic. It took most of us years to become sweet ass code ninjas. What this guy has done is impressive.
There is one nice example for now - split file on many using set of regular expressions. But i get it, will write more examples including web application, caching and so on.
No it doesn't. It's an awful, deceptive move.

You know why? It's because Google makes it easy to spot the sponsored link if you spend more than half a second on it before clicking. A yellow background and text that says 'Sponsored Link' is way less deceiving than the lack of a 'like' button.

The devil is in the details. And the significant amount of justification you do in your post shows that you're trying to convince yourself as much as us that it's OK.
I hope these beta course credits will still count when they ship.
And if you don't like it and won't get involved,

Yes, thanks. I have no particular opinion; I just said that was the complaint, and it's not the first time I've heard it. I've never made more than casual and minor corrections to Wikipedia, and I've never been notable or known notable people who Wikipedia deemed worthy of deletion. And I do know spam and loathe self-promotion by meaningless hordes, so I can understand where Wikimedia editors are coming from. But I also know when a culture is not particularly outsider-friendly, and I stay over here, thank you.

I might add that complaining that I'm not doing enough free work to fix Wikipedia is also not going to help. I'd love to delve into the history and process of Wikipedia's culture, but I'm going to get about six minutes of sleep tonight already.
But wikipedia have previously frozen controversial pages that are having edit wars. They could choose the last revision that is reasonable favourable to advertiser and then freeze the page

Nice and clear overview!

But GIF? Is that format even still used?

I'd love to see this for webp, I really don't get that format yet and AFAIK there is no overview of the format that is not a spec (i.e., horribly detailed).
I think it's because not because these numbers are imperfect, or because many things can be read into them that shouldn't, that they are completely useless. In the end you need some data that is intuitive to understand, even if there are many ifs and buts involved.
What if the first returned thing is the child pornography page on wikipedia and other news and resources on the subject? Doesn't have to return actual pics and videos. Yes it's still censorship of something but in this case instant search just doesn't auto complete to anything yet if you search for the term it will return the result list un filtered.

Enjoy working with hyperactive twinkle using 14 year olds who rapidly revert[1] as much as they can so they can rack up "edits" in the mistaken thought that it's how you get to admin. Or dysfunctional trolls with a 10:1 meta:content edit ratio who have nothing better to do than hang out on ANI.

Those are pretty much the only people who'll have the time or patience to play the wikipedia game as it is now.
It's asserting Stanford's tacit ownership of the concept of "class", in a way. There's nothing there to indicate it's Stanford.
The first point (gum disease can cause health problems) is most likely true, even if just intuitively, but they would have to be pretty serious to reduce life expectancy by 7 years - even smoking reduces it by 'only' 14 years, and I'd be hard pressed to believe that not flossing is half as dangerous as smoking.

The second argument is a classical cause/effect thing. I can't imagine that tooth diseases increase heart diseases by 100%, but I can very easily imagine that people with certain habits (eating lots of cheap unhealthy food with much fat and sugar) suffer from both.

Then again I don't know anything about this field, if there is any research that confirms your arguments I'd be surprised but interested.

>The quality of technical articles on Wikipedia are second to none

Academic articles maybe, other articles, not so much. I run a website / forum in a niche area of animal husbandry, and one part of the site links to useful descriptions / information on different breeds. We've had no choice but to ban links to Wikipedia articles on individual breeds because they are simply factually incorrect, to the extent that even pre-teen site members find them funny and point out errors on our forums. Seriously, we have 10 year olds on our forums linking to Wikipedia articles and making fun of them - they really are that full of nonsense.

Yes, he's serious.

By this point, Wikipedians have collectively spent hours on the specific article Sullivan's in an uproar about. Many of the volunteers he's addressing have spent years getting good at what they do. And they've collectively spent decades of effort figuring out how best to decide which articles are worth keeping and which aren't. And then documenting that in a fair bit of detail.

If Sullivan wants to tell Wikipedians they're all stupid and wrong, the least he could do is spend enough time to understand whether he has something approaching a point.
I've contributed a lot to wikipedia and would say there definitively an elistic attitude among the admins. That page was lucky to even go through a full deletion process, most just get SpeedyDeleted, which is as simple as putting a tag, and as soon as an admin sees it, they delete it, which could be minutes later. I've seen pages deleted this way about major topics, while similar, much lesser topic pages remain. Like anything else, it's more about who you are on Wikipedia than what you're writing about.
> I hope that other schools ie: MIT etc... follow suit.

Which is kind of his point - they will have to choose a domain that is either also generic (anatomy-course.org), which would be confusing, or use something like (mit-class.edu/anatomy) which is less memorable.

I wouldn't go as far as calling stanford arrogant though - they came first, everybody had the opportunity to do this for a decade.

> Of course in any censorship debate, there is someone that says "you can always get it through the underground, the black market, the fact that the ban isn't actively upheld, insert other similar reason".

What? In this discussion people said that Google is censoring information about torrents; but no-one has said "use a different search engine" because Google will return results about torrents, they just don't return the results using Google Instant.

"torrents" is just eight characters; even for a hunt'n'peck typist that's a few seconds before they hit [search].
It is true that code-reuse attacks have been around for some time, but Shacham's paper actually showed that you can make arbitrary --Turing complete-- computations with this approach, among other things. I think this alone is a good contribution.
Instead of designing your own button, why not use <button> and let the Browser+OS decide how it will lock? Instead of making your own checkboxes (and the behaviour for it) you can just, you know, use the html chekbox. Instead of designing your own form, and "styling" input fields, and then you need to add "behaviour" to the input fields - which will diverge from the browser+os standard, you can just use <input> and <form> tags.

For the rest of the gui widgets like tabs which dont have a html spec, just style it up as close as you can to _look_ like a tab and make it behave like a link - thats enough.

Look at facebook, their UI is a horrible mess, they have introduced thier own "widgets" and changed behaviour for most of the common widgets, like the scrollbar which suddenly jumps back 40% when it reaches the lowest 10 or 20% or so. So the functionality expected - the scrollbar represents a _finite_ document, suddenly it is infinite. Destroy such "ui" crap with the force of a thousand suns.

It may be good for facebook, they can do so since they have 800 million users, and anyone whom they teach _their_ widgets and ui-interactions is further instilled and locked into their usage platform, but as a webdev of projects with less than 1 million people, you cant do that. Stick to the standard. Dont make your users locked into your widget and your conception of what a button or scrollbar is.
But we don't agree in advance to give up our attention in exchange for things. Nor do advertisers feel obliged, per se, to give us something in return for looking at ads. It is simply assumed that we don't own our attention, and it is up for grabs to anyone who can get their hands on it.

We expect to see ads in many situations, but only due to past experience, not because we ever made a deal with anybody.

And the most effective ads, the ones that advertisers strive to create, are those that are the most unexpected.
What I'm saying is that there is no real line that you speak of. It doesn't exist. If you use wikipedia enough you will realize that.

People rise to being admins by editing wikipedia themselves enough and trying to maintain a few articles at a time after putting a lot into them. They grow into being admins. It's not some special power some people get arbitrarily. Everyone edits and everyone moderates. Just some that have been doing it long it enough have been voted by the community as being of sound mind and good faith to have a few extra privileges to carry out more tasks. If you ever seen a request for admin, it's extremely brutal the level people pick at your every decision. You have a problem with an admin that can't be solved, there is ARBCOM (arbitration). You won't normally see a nomination for anyone that doesn't have a few thousand edits themselves at least.

So no. Your comment makes no sense at all. Everyone helps "make the big decisions". I just joined a vote on changing the image thumbnails across all the pages. I'm not an admin. No body gets special privileges like that.

That assumes that it would be beneficial to have people who don't understand anything about what makes an article worth keeping making requests like that.

It also assumes that requesting deletion review is Wikipedia's most valuable place to spend developer and designer time.

Neither is true.
