I must admit you've made me a bit curious, though I have a feeling that whatever it is you're proposing will probably just go straight over my head anyway.

Since you're in SF though, have you thought about holding a small group discussion about it over at noisebridge sometime? People there are always so insightful, friendly and willing to help, I'm thinking that holding a think-tank at a place like that might help you get the sort of 'back-and-forth' feedback it seems you're looking for.
This + 2 Factor-Authentication = Pretty Damn Secure.
This is a good point - one aspect of some political topics is the urge to upvote stuff you feel Very Strongly about. "Yeah! Go! You tell 'em!". That does not lead to good discussions though, and thus I feel those topics are best avoided here.

$170mil sounds pretty expensive for something that doesn't work. And it was predicted not to work even before it launched, since they didn't spend enough money to build it properly.
Have We Reached Peak Stuff?
I think you need to sit down and make a list of each of your contributions, and how valuable they are, then attempt to have a serious conversation about how your start-up is going, and whether your partnership is the right one to take it forwards.

It might be you need a third person to bring balance between you, or it might be that things are going fine and you're being stressed out over very little.

Having said that, family is more important than money or material success to many people (including myself), so if you say to him "It's your family or this startup, your choice", be prepared for them to walk away.
And how are you going to make sure that the length specified is correct?

I'd like to know how many things he has on that Macbook air.
I was in the same situation more or less 2 years , i wont say i have any solution for lack of interest but in my case every one who wanted to cling to a stable job while trying to test waters with my startup did eventually leave it .
So i have learnt to stick with people who share my passion rather than treating it as a "side project" .
imho , having heart-to-heart talk where every risk and payout is on table , helps .
Ignoring comparisons with YouTube or Google, the fact of the matter is that content sites can indeed make money from advertisements.

I'm not saying Flickr should go down this road, but you're wrong in suggesting that sites can't make money from adverts unless they are pre-rolls or on search engines.
No, it's a micro-blogging platform. Traditional blog posts are something that have been shoehorned in to try and garner new audiences. Tumblr is never the right choice for an existing publication. That's why many fashion magazines have Tumblrs that run alongside their traditional blogs.
It's not unbelievable at all. I think animals can have loads of fun and crows are awesome. But in this video I see a hungry poor bird, desperate to find some food. It has nothing to do with if crows are intelligent or can have fun, I'm talking about the video.
I'm not convinced WordPress themes are derivative works of WordPress, which is what you need to believe to make the GPL stick when you're not distributing WP itself.

But it really doesn't matter. Release your "app theme" under the GPL and don't worry about it. You're already meeting its requirements -- you have to give the source (the theme) to each person that purchases it. You're not required to give it to anyone else.

You're not required to license your other assets -- images, stylesheets, javascripts -- under the same license. So even though your customers can redistribute the PHP code, it's pretty worthless.

Still, I would put that all under the GPL anyway. It's not going to lose you a single person that would've otherwise bought your theme. WooThemes makes millions a year selling premium WP themes -- they're all GPL licensed.

I used to sell a WordPress plugin and theme set. It was pirated all over the place, on all the file sharing sites and black hat forums. If someone wanted it for free, they could get it. Didn't matter. Still made a quarter million dollars from people that wanted the latest version, from a trustworthy site, with support.
You can never change people, so your hope for a change is unrealistic and unfair to the both of you. Also if you've resorted to writing rants on a website something is broken, and my bet is that it's past repair.

I think it comes down to that you've realized and now resent that your co-founder hasn't put as much into this and you resent this. There are two ways to deal with this: Either realign the shares/structure of this company to reflect this reality or have a divorce.

Pick one path or another -- come up with a proposal.

SOPA 'shelved' until consensus is found
Go On The Opposite Direction While Selection A Dissertation Topic
Remember it is a comprehensive research work and not an essay writing competition where you have to opt for a topic that is of your interest. You love reading history but that is not an excuse of writing on the history of sociology. Every professor would reject it. The key is to go for the one which is not liked by you at all but the world wants to know about it.
"Human beings have a strong, strong, strong tendency that if we see an animal do something that's analogous to what we do, like use a tool or answer an arithmetic question, we assume that the animal is doing it and understands the situation in the same way we do," he said. "And sometimes that's true but more often it's false."

Those words do nothing but justify one's "animals are non-sentient" hat. I can say the same towards the actions of other individuals. "I have a strong tendency that if I see another human sledding, I assume that the human understands the situation in the same why I do." Why should I assume that another person understands a situation in the same way that I do, whereas a crow cannot? Because the person is of the same species as me? "Species" is just an artificial term that describes the ability to interbreed.

The play of corvids (crows, magpies, ravens, etc.) is pretty well documented. They seem to like sliding or rolling down snowy slopes. It could be some way of bathing themselves but surely just plunging into snow would be more effective. It's also common to see them using twigs as tools. Put it all together and it seems plausible to me that one of them could have learned to snowboard.

I agree it's important to remember that the bird has a mind separated from ours by millions of years. But, at times like this, I like to recall this story about Chinese philosopher Chuang Tzu.

It's always interesting how people define what is a thing. He's got a good definition but he should take it a step further. Expand it to anything that you have that you would feel bad if you had to replace. The digital clutter weights on your mind just like physical objects (files on the macbook, email in gmail, all of it).

Also although he list the items that he'd be pissed if he lost he'd probably be a lot less angry them a lot of people if he was robbed. Simpler and cheaper to only have to replace 15 items.
It should qualify, yes.

After the initial creation of a Jekyll blog, "managing an entire blog infrastructure" is insanely easy and low maintenance.

It's a static site, so you can host incredibly easily on any number of cloud services, from heroku to AWS S3/CloudFront, many (most?) people keep their Jekyll sites in a git repo (often github) so you won't lose data, and can easily shove it onto another server in no time at all.

Really, it's less maintenance than pretty much anything I've ever had online.
I only see this offer in english. Is it just not yet translated, or not available for germany?
The give way here is that you call these folks your friends -- and while it's good to have friends that's different than "partners". What you need are partners so you need to take the first steps and meet people with similar interests (in a business sense) outside your immediate circle. And for what it's worth maybe look for those skills that you're lacking like business experience.
> Beause the person is of the same species as me? That's just an artificial term that describes the ability to interbreed.

The term also describes the biological similarity between the organisms, in this case, similar neural cortices that are vastly different from other animals.

A crow might be sentient, but you will never find it commenting on hacker news.
It's plausible, but I disagree for these reasons.

1. The crow stands on the lid as soon as it puts it down
2. Sometimes the crow waits on the lid
3. The crow slides down with the lid instead of flying off of it
4. The crow flies back to the same spot
5. We already know that crows are rather intelligent

Animals can not only experience being killed, there are documented cases where intelligent animals like orcas and dolphins have made and carried out a decision to commit suicide.

Humans in general even justify the killing of humans in special situations, who obviously are capable of experiencing being killed. It's eating the remains that's repulsive in the case of more intelligent species like humans, dolphins or dogs, isn't it?

yes, i think you do need an android phone with a properly configure google account for this to work.

That's not the case. Presumably accessing the QRCode generates a single use URL, which you can access in the computer browser. There is no client side logic.

(Also, Google generally ships stuff on both iOS and Android)

(Also, it goes against Google's interest to restrict Google account features to Android)
They're certainly trying to get in front of this story before the 18th. I hope none of the sites planning to protest drop those plans.

Politicians and lobbyists know well that the public has a short attention span -- a few weeks of quiet and most of the discussion will have died down. When's the last time you read about protesting the full body scanners and patdowns of children at airports?

Even if these bills are shelved now, they'll be back later this year.
Did they really have any choice? After the statement from the White House, they had to put it on hold because they do not want it to be vetoed. They will still come back, but they will either wait until they can make the President happy (which might be hard if he is in his second year and does not have to run again) or wait to see if Mitt Romney wins.

I just hope that PIPA is put on hold as well and hopefully after the election things will be better (depending on what types are voted in) and not worse.

If you pick a car that is dusty / muddy, you can be pretty sure that the owner is not overly fussy about their car, and hence quite likely to have a positive reaction to a free wash. The probability that someone with an obviously dirty car getting actively upset about an unsolicited wash would seem to be sufficiently low to justify the risk, I would have thought.
> Wrong, I already demonstrate that they have an example that is basically strcpy() and I show why it's broken.

strcpy() is not broken. You cannot expect a function to work if you violate its preconditions. Exercise for you: enumerate strcpy's preconditions. And once you know them, you design your program in accord with them.

> There's extensive attention to testing

Testing can only prove the presence of bugs, not their absence. Heavy emphasis on testing leads to coding by trial-and-error, which, I argue, is the prime source of bugs (security and others).

"Hey, I tested it, it works!" What's missing in that statement is that it works for usual test cases. Software breaks on unusual/abnormal inputs. If, e.g., strcpy causes buffer overflow in your program, it is YOUR code that is crap because it didn't ensure proper preconditions. Don't project your incompetence/stupidity on strcpy.

THIS is what programmers should learn.

Your quote from K&R "critique": "And, what's the point of a book full of code you can't actually use in your own programs?" This line of thinking is despicable. A book is supposed to teach people ideas and concepts, not give them ready-made code recipes that they can copy-paste in their own programs.
Cost provides some compelling use-cases.

If you are overseas, roaming costs are crazy. I'd consider paying them to download a single .png (QRCode) and then use an untrusted computer.
20 Predictions For Life In 2112
Biological similarity does not imply similarity of understanding. My understanding is also shaped by environment and knowledge as much as my genes.

You and I are similar genetically, but I cannot make any statement about your understanding of any activity (like sledding) as compared to mine, because we (or at least I) do not know how to compare "understanding" between two beings.

The crow's neural circuitry is different from yours or mine, but the "same" software can run in many different architectures.

Never say never :)

It's really interesting to note the relative complexities at work here. Exploits are difficult to find and relatively easy to remove, but pushing security fixes out to everyone at either ends of the connection is a serious problem.. It's very impressive that they changed behaviour and wilfully broke compatibility with a lot of sites to make this change for the better.

There's a lot more to web browsers than just ecmascript and reflowing content, it seems..
Singapore already has all of the infrastructure they need to censor whatever they want (online and offline) and they're perfectly comfortable using it. SOPA/PIPA may change what is "trendy" to censor (Singapore currently focuses on high-profile pornography, I believe, in addition to monitoring and limiting dissent, of course), but that wouldn't be a fundamental change.

Instead, what I'd say is that the example of Singapore is a reason to oppose SOPA/PIPA. Giving a government comprehensive censorship tools will inevitably chill democracy no matter what those tools are "supposed to" be used for.

Security through obscurity should not used. Just saying. IMO, revealing the method used should not become an issue just like the reason why the more trusted crypto algorithms are publicly posted.

That said, bcrypt and a time/attempt limited lockout should go a good ways in securing your site.
I think you misunderstood this. Let me rephrase the above definition to make it easier to parse:

"A foreign infringing site is a FOREIGN SITE for which it is true that (1)... (2)... (3)..."

FOREIGN SITE is defined in section 101 as "an Internet site that is not a domestic Internet site".

DOMESTIC INTERNET SITE = "an Internet site for which the corresponding domain name or, if there is no domain name, the corresponding Internet Protocol address, is a domestic domain name or domestic Internet Protocol address". It is open to interpretation whether a site with a US and non-US domain is a domestic site.

Is that even disputed, that animals can "experience being killed"? I don't doubt there are sentient animals, other than humans. For example dogs, crows, dolphins, elephants, probably tons of other. Once animal can predict future and react to it, he can't help but be sentient - otherwise how could he know what part of the future he can change, and what part is the einvironment.

Killing them to eat is IMHO justified by the same reason tiger has the right to kill his prey. We're predators (ok, omnivores, but still - we eat meat).
We did have a very calm conversation a couple of days ago. The options is either we get someone willing to work full-time with equity or I get a full time job, and do this part-time. The later being the same as giving up for me.

I appreciate your response, thk you!
Good stuff,

What would be super useful is something that tells you what it looks like on older / other browsers, you've obviously thought about this with the image shots, but many images are missing.

Perhaps some sort of integration with browsershots or even just a text compatibility chart?

Can I ask you if you do software as a service or have any kind of client acquisition. If so, how did you went about doing it? We have this premise that we must have some portfolio in order to land some 'big' clients and publicize our work, however as I've said, it has been hard to put something finished and representative of our quality.
I have been thinking quite a bit on this particular area. I'll display some of those info per item very soon.
Also some of the items are missing images for IE7 and IE8 only if those versions do not render the creation at all or break them to such an extent that the item is no more usable.

> Not all of us see C++ as an improvement over C.

I know, but you are the first I've encountered to quantify it.

> The result is code that is easily FFI'able from any language

I agree that this is a big advantage for interoperability. While it's possible to build an interface in C++ with 'extern C', it means maintaining two call APIs rather than one. Still I see this as a current limitation of C++ rather than an advantage of C.

> Using a simple macro in C:

Is generally a pain as the macro is expanded at compile time and causes difficulties debugging. Your point about VTABLEs is well taken however and I have encountered subtle bugs with virtual member functions in C++.

> If I want to get speed via multi-core rather than pure uniprocessor speed, why use C++? I can use Haskell and get much easier and safer parallelism with many other advantages.

You would need to enumerate those advantages for me to answer. Why then wouldn't you use Haskell instead of C?
