Ask HN: Partnership, LLC, or Inc for 3-person mobile app team
I'm part of a team of 3 developing a mobile application. As we're nearing a release date and more important decisions are needing to be made, we're starting the discussion of whether to establish a Partnership, LLC, or Inc. We're all in mutual trust with each other, so dishonesty is not a primary concern.

From my understanding a partnership is simpler to establish but there's personal liability. An LLC's biggest disadvantage is that it can't go public. Inc sounds like it has a lot of hoops to jump through.

Given the nature of this community, I figured I might glean some unique insight. If there are other questions like this, feel free to just link me to the resource/question.

Thanks!
That may be the norm there, but not here. At least, it won't be until people complaining about it.

I appreciate upholding high standards.

I've used ClueReleaseManager to great effect in the past. It lazy loads from an upstream PyPI so you don't need to maintain a full mirror. If you use the same instance as your main PyPI mirror for developing and CI/deployment you never have to worry about syncing manually: any package you develop with will be in the cache by the time your code hits the CI server.
I misread the title as "how to read Koran in 15 minutes".

It's not themselves they should be protected from, but the people who are going to try to sucker them.

Now if you lay out all of the facts in front of the mark, and he/she dismisses them as pessimism or a conspiracy - I'd say society's responsibility should end there. But I think that the less credulous people in a society should institute enough oversight over situations that could be potential scams so that the more credulous can have the best picture of the situation that a neutral party could provide.

Statistically, a large amount of people will always be too dumb to make that decision for themselves, so we should try to ply them with all of the supplementary smarts that it's pragmatically possible to muster:)
Yes you can:

How much have those 'most complicated' options created the ability to build such a vast increase in expectations in relatively small amounts of work? Without a few several-thousand LOC gems, my Rails code would take longer and be more error-prone, and wouldn't play well with gems A through Z (excepting maybe Q). The fact that I can grab 5 random interesting gems, try them out, and then discard them with a very small amount of work on my part is phenomenally valuable, and wouldn't be possible if they weren't as well encapsulated as they often are.

Just wanted to chime in that I recently had a very similar conversation with my parents. Thanked them and chatted about the effort they went through to uproot their entire life and immigrate.

Guess what I'm trying to say is, if you've been putting off giving thanks for something similar, now is a better time than ever.

Ask HN: What is the best way to find a technical co-founder?
I've been working on a startup solo for the last 8 months starting full-time and lately nights and weekends. I'm looking for a technical co-founder to come on board who would be able to commit a good portion of their nights and weekends as well. The project is music related, Ruby on Rails + significant Javascript.

I've shown the idea at work and to a couple able friends, all of whom like it and even use it as it is now, but none of whom have the time to help so that option is not very likely.

I tried weekendhacker.net when it came out but didn't get any bites despite offering to trade time with other projects.

I'd be willing to hire someone but I certainly can't afford the amount of commitment and quality I'd need at this point. Unless I can get a quality RoR hacker to work at $15/hour (can I?).

How have you had luck finding a co-founder? Is there a good service or site to do so that has a large userbase and is proven?
Agreed. The difference between "how easy it is to share a link on S3" and on Dropbox is a million miles. Sure, actually sharing the link on S3 is easy, but getting the file onto S3, setting up security buckets, yadda yadda is non-trivial to low-tech users.

With Dropbox, I basically put a file in a folder.

There's always a market for convenience.
I only looked at your site for a few seconds (I've got to get to bed) but I wanted to share some ideas because I want you to be successful.

Podcast... have you thought of doing a regular podcast? You could grow your traffic and ask for donations.

E-books: package up your blog as an ebook and spice it up with some premium content. Lulu is a great place to publish and sell it.

Amazon.com: you're doing affiliate stuff, right?

Twitter account: load up with followers and get a Bufferapp account so you can schedule tweets.

SEO (not PPC): Obvious I know, but it's an easy win.

If you spruce up the site / blog with a nice, free Wordpress theme like something here: http://wplift.com/30-free-premium-wordpress-themes-with-cris... you might be able to lure more advertisers. In the meantime, have a space for advertisers on the sidebar or something (but then again, what do I know).

If I have any more ideas I'll post them tomorrow.

It may be poor reasoning but my vote is on the web (html/css/js/etc). Why? because it seems to be the only thing that has stuck around in the past. Over the past 20 years we've seen the "web" gobble up all sorts of client side platforms - applets, flash, and a lot of other native desktop applications.

Do I think it is the best suited technology to all the things we are trying to do with it? - Absolutely not, but I wouldn't dare invest myself in anything that competes with it.
Sorry to harsh on the site, I realize it's your creation that you've put time and effort into, and I'm just some random guy killing time on the internet.

That said, I will say that the poster explanations were frustrating for me. I've studied formal logic via computer science, but not enough argumentation or philosophical logic -- so some of these fallacies were new to me. For example "no true scotsman" -- but the explanation did nothing to help me understand it. I'm type of person who learns by example, but your examples are so cutesy and weird that I can't actually relate them back to anything useful. Something about sugar in porridge? What I want is to be able to recognize these when I see them, but I'm just not getting it from your explanation. Real-world examples would be MUCH better.

Part of why I'm frustrated is I've been wishing for a resource like this for a long time -- someone who really understands argumentation, clearly and simply explaining logical fallacies, with real-world examples. I've read about "straw man" repeatedly, over and over -- definition after definition -- and I still am not confident that I could identify it if I saw it. Very frustrating. Feels like a lost opportunity. Maybe it's working for others, not me though. sorry

How Statement Pooling in JDBC affects the Garbage Collection
I agree that this sort of broad-strokes signalling is probably highly ineffective. However, given the difficulty of hiring, employers are likely to seize upon anything that can ease the process even slightly.

There have been interesting ideas in the tech sector, the StackOverflow jobs site for one. It would be interesting to see if anything can be done outside of tech to make hiring more effective.

Good luck to your fiance!
Android, instead of making the web a first-class citizen,
has in fact set the mobile web back by years.

I don't know how you can come to this conclusion. Android has made an excellent mobile web browser available to over a quarter of a billion people.

And how is the web not first-class? Google even started Web Intents to interoperate web apps with native apps.

I find the line between when to use fabric and when to use puppet/chef is needing the permissions of a more privileged user.

I prefer to deploy applications in the home directory of a dedicated user account with minimal privileges, and use fabric for installing updates and running application tasks.

OTOH, I'd prefer to be using puppet for creating the user accounts, managing the installation and configuration of PostgreSQL, putting app configuration in a safe location, and so on.

This comes down to my (maybe antiquated?) view of having multiple applications running on a single server.
I was intrigued when I read the title, I was wishing that some progress was being made to bring a low-cost competitor to the bigwig e-merchants (like paypal), one incorporating bitcoin, was being brought into the mainstream. But after reading this:

Under the plan, game makers will offer their users a chance to voluntarily install a program that makes their idle computing resources available for use by CoinLab, in exchange for in-game virtual goods and points.

I'm disappointed that their collective focus is on something so... pointless. More so when you take into account that the limited capital for such a possibility in the Market has been so misused for another comp-share scheme. This, at the very least, could have gone FAR to introduce competing currencies into the masses' psyche.
This could have vastly exceeded their projects potential profits if they truly considered the demographics that comprise the so-called 'Black/Grey' Market(s) money--who frankly don't give a damn about branding--who are in need of just that; instead they have settled/targeted on:

Vessenes estimates that the average gamer will generate 50 cents to $2 per day for the game companies by making that computing power available, working out to more than $15 per gamer per month.
A vast, vast minority of the whole are early adopters. How many .NET shops actually use IronRuby or even F#.

Besides, I'm not sure what's so leading edge about bringing Ruby to .NET. Ruby is 10 years old and Java has had an implementation for much longer. I also have no idea what is leading edge about WCF (or WPF for that matter) though I really like the work Glenn Block has done recently for WCF and much of it is arguably very cutting edge REST stuff, so there are certainly exceptions, but they are just that exceptions.

If you're point is that MS shops are quick to embrace MS christened technologies, well that is relatively speaking true. However MS is often well behind the technology curve of even the .NET open source community (monorail predates MVC significantly) and generally speaking even further behind the ecosystems outside of .NET.

Bottom line, I see no evidence to support a claim that .NET development supports a significant culture of early adopters.

Lack of critical thinking.

I'm not saying this in the sense of, "critical thinking should be taught in public schools". The issue is rarely does the average person look at an important decision with any real amount of thought. Yes, person. Not teenager.

When I was a teenager (tail-end of dot-com boom) there was this implicit assumption that I was going to go to the best school I could afford and get accepted into -- loans be damned -- and that was it. That's what friends would tell me, my parents, television, teachers and my guidance counselor. Everyone simply rolled with it.

I didn't. I got into stellar schools, but I didn't get any full scholarships. MIT and WPI would've ultimately required a loan large enough to buy the house I grew up in at its current market value. That alone was enough to scare me shitless. My sister was at Cornell racking up that kind of debt as it was, but didn't think anything of it. I sure as hell did. I looked at my job prospects where I lived. I looked at salaries. I thought the evaluation of tech stocks was absolutely ludicrous* and wasn't sustainable. I went to a state school, paid cash thanks to working nearly full-time, withdrew second semester and planned out my alternate approach. My parents kicked me out of the house and everyone thought I was an imbecile.

They don't now. However it wasn't fate that got me where I was. I sit down, think about my situation, and figure out not only what I want to change but how I'm going to go about accomplishing it. I do it every year. I do it every time I don't like something with my current situation. It's not that people are inept. I'll have friends over that are displeased with X, and I just pelt them with questions. I ask what they don't like, what they're going to do about it, and then have them prove that plan is feasible to see if it'll float or if it needs revision. They go home with a plan, and eventually they act on it one way or another and shit gets better.

Most people would be a lot better off if they just had someone blow holes in their plans, to ensure they have a decent plan in the first place.

* And thought my parents' notion of the house doubling in value every seven years until the end of time was nuts since I was 12 (early 90s). "Dad, does your salary double every seven years?" "... go the hell to your room."
I use it for grading assignments (reading a .lisp file and writing a grade.txt file), as well as taking class notes. I also use it for editing config files (like for nginx) and dotfiles.
The parent is saying it's linkbait because the title suggests that Firefox is eliminating favicons altogether (reaction: "Whaaat?! Why?! mash upvote button") when in reality they're just removing them from one particular place, which brings them in line with everyone else (reaction: "Oh, that makes sense continue scrolling")
I am currently talking to someone who has offered to host it for free. What I need is traffic. When it gets traffic, it makes some money. I do not need a lot of money to feel it is worth keeping but I do need some money. I would still like to do a webcomic at some point but my health site seems like the quickest short term means to make at least a little money.

Thanks for responding.

Edit: I would like to do a simulation (aka "game") at some point but I do not know any programming languages or where to start with this idea. This idea is why I joined HN to begin with...more than 1000 days ago...and it has so far gone nowhere, largely because I was working full time and continuing to battle my health problems. I am currently unemployed and far healthier so in a better position to develop my sites, ironically enough.

I like Skeleton the best of all the recommendations I've seen thus far, and use it in most of my recent projects.

Skeleton, unlike all the other things I've seen mentioned, has almost no overhead, and pretty much stays out of your way. It's got sensible defaults, isn't as recognizable as bootstrap, and doesn't have any cruft.

The biggest knock on it is that it doesn't have enough widgets, but I for one don't want them. I just want a responsive grid framework that looks decent out of the box. If you're like-minded, Skeleton is a treasure.

> The biggest mistake of most Chinese learners is taking tones too seriously.

I'd like to add that this depends on where you are. The Taiwanese almost completely merge s/sh, z/zh, c/ch and also n/ng in some cases. You cannot distinguish between 4 and 10 without tones here. I have often heard that the Taiwanese rely more on tones, and Beijingers rely more on the actual sounds (as in Western languages).

Also, most of the time when people do not understand me, it is precisely because of the tones. I still often encounter situations where a friend will repeat my last sentence character for character, making me think "that's what I said!!", but apparently I didn't.

The ad is sending strong closed monoculture signals. For example the 'our stuff' 'your stuff' job descriptions. Remove every use of the words we, we've, and our and replace them with 'you'. Talk about the person you want to hire and how great the opportunity would be for them.

Prospective employees don't really care about the people that already work there, or what they do, their values, culture, or their bios. If it sounds like the company is full of bad-asses, that's a turn off. Probably a few of them believe this and will make the experience unpleasant.
