the split of work isnt 50/50 but I dont think the money split is unfair.

or rather the amount I will be getting is fair for my time - he is getting a LOT for his time but it is him with the emotional investment - I can walk away he wants this to be his career.

At the end of the day the split isnt my biggest concern so long as I get paid a fair amount for my efforts (probably what I would be paid were he just contracting work to me anyway). The main benefit of doing it "together" (under some kind of agreement) is that in the future if it becomes a full company I will be leaving (as I have a career) we have agreed that part of our signed agreement will include a pay off for me (probably in the region of a percentage of the first 2 years income - he said 50%.[lets split 50/50 all the way]... which seems very high :P)

Anyway - thanks for the comments. Im sold on this approach over an LLP so I'll pitch it to him in our meeting next week :D
Now combine it with CSS transitions.
2 things.

Firstly wow, you put this together in, what, a week? Im sure I saw a paper draft this time last week you posted :D well done.

Secondly give us some indication of what it's about ;)

Oh got a third: you might want ot have a simple form on the page to submit and email address too - sending an actual email to get in on the alpha might put people off!
just out of interest why is that?

I've had fair success with .net addresses in the past. They dont seem to lose out on traffic over .com or .co.uk. But that experience has been limited to small audiences.
Actually, he might have been much less annoying, as he showed an interest and probably listened and posed proper questions. I don't think there is anything more gratifying than someone wanting to learn from you, actually being interested in what you say and asking the right questions.

Delaware imposes no state income tax on a business that does not operate within the state.

Does this mean that I can incorporate there and run the business with a physical presence from some other country?
Hm, looks like a feature to me.

The problem i see is that all the images are loaded at once. Lightbox loads the big images on demand.
One explanation is that doing so means treating people as a means to your ends, rather than as ends in themselves. Which is somewhat frowned upon in certain ethical traditions.
Yeah, that was my question too. I think what happens is, when you enter your email address and password to login to the site, the site assumes its the same password you use to login to your mail provider. Of course, that assumption could be wrong but apparently, it works often enough. And of course, this only works with the big web mail providers like Google and Yahoo. I got a similar spate of emails from friends asking me to register on their birthday calendar.
I had to read this like 3 times to understand that users were voluntarily typing their email password into a site. It's so ingrained in my behavior not to do that, I was trying to figure out, "how do they get the password?"
Wait -- are they just using the password you type for their site to log in and go through your gmail account (guessing that they're the same pw)? That's fraud. I don't care if it's in the fine print. I use multiple passwords, but not enough. If websites just start using my passwords to break into my private data on other sites, that's seriously fucked up.
This guys appears to be a loser who creates nothing of value, and points out holes in other people's creations. One of the hardest things about trying to do something of value is learning to mostly dismiss people like him.

I think anyone should welcome as many critics as possible. Critics point out blind spots and prevent accidental mistakes. I believe the 'strong man' is usually found to have a 'strong second' that is the strong man's critic on every turn.

How to customize the Thesis Header in few easy steps
Ah, true enough... I guess there's also this: http://code.google.com/p/google-app-engine-django/
as explained here http://gagravarr.livejournal.com/136617.html - in case that helps anyone
It's also the case that people don't just come into work, do the work, and go. People want to enjoy their interactions with their colleagues, and there's economic value in that: it reduces staff turnover, people stay in jobs they're not wild about if they've made friends there. It's in a company's interest to hire people who can a) do the work (obviously) and b) have an interesting story to tell on Monday morning about what they did at the weekend. Long term, that's more valuable than someone who has great technical skills but can't bond with the team or interact with anyone.

Smart that this comes out today. Yesterday, Apple's stocks jumped up 53% with the release of the new iPhone and it proved that investor's feel good about the prospects of an Apple without Jobs at its helm day-in, day-out.

If this article had come out before, I think Apple would've taken a hit.
>> "We (as a channel) initially tried to avoid banning Mibbit wholesale, but that strategy failed."

Why did it fail? You can just ban mibbit if you like on the channel :/

I've used Mibbit as my primary client for a year. I take offense at your blanket statements about the "type of users that use mibbit".
Hrm. This doesn't ring true to me; in fact, it seems almost more like a guy bragging about his victories than a helpful message about failure. It isn't true that every door closing is met with another one opening; nor is it true that every failure happens "for a reason." Sometimes failure is brutal, nasty, and not helpful. The real message about failure to remember is Theodore Roosevelt's: Yes, you might fail (and you will, for "there is no effort without error"), but the credit and honor is yours nevertheless, because you didn't hang back -- you got out there and gave it your all.

I wasn't humiliated from 1 date in 6 months with Match.com. I was humiliated briefly with eHarmony when I fell for a fake letter of interest. I was very excited and I emailed all my friends "Hey look this is great!" Then I slowly realized over the course of the week that I had been duped. I received no further response and was embarrassed. It should have been obvious with the spelling mistakes and the woman being listed as a High School English teacher :) I'm moving to offline approaches. I should get out more any ways. I may try okcupid or something in the future.
I can't believe the author is so soft on Tagged and MyLife.com etc. I've seen this happen to my mother as well, who was very embarrassed. This needs to be regulated and be treated like spamming is.

Not really, they aren't assuming you use the same password as your mail provider. These sorts of sites just ASK you outright for your login/password.. and a lot of users actually give this up voluntarily to a third party site.

Lots of information here on this sort of anti-pattern:

mod_limitipconn doesn't work, because there is no completed request for a connection. There was a handshake and part of the request is sent, but does Apache see that as a connection? I think not.

You're confusing this with a SYN flood, which works at the IP level, not the userspace level, and for which a connection limit in user space would indeed be ineffective.

In this attack, data is already transmitted, but it is incomplete, so the server can't act upon the request, and apache does hold that connection.

Why does the business have to revolve around IT? Why can't IT be made to revolve around the businesses needs?

This is a question to answer by looking at cost/benefit on particular processes, not a moral issue.

It is also not the same as saying "you need to put your IT guys in charge of the business."
In "performance," they say, "hey, let's call it a tie!" Actual timed measurements of Javascript performance show that IE8 is WAY slower than the competition.

Plus neither of the links you posted tested Firefox 3.5 which has improved javascript performance which implies IE8 slips further behind.

FCC to Examine Mobile Phone Exclusives
Steve Jobs is a public figure and is perceived as the creative driving force behind Apple's success, and Apple is a publicly-traded company.

His health, thus, is of concern to Apple users and shareholders. And competitors too, but in a different, probably evil, way.

His health worries me too - and I am neither a heavy Apple user nor a shareholder, but I am deeply concerned about innovation in this market if he ever retires. Who would lead? Microsoft? Ewww.

And there is also the human factor. I wish him well for no other reason than him being a human being.
An honestly curious customer with an open mind gets to ask as many questions as he likes. If you're excited about what you do, initiating that excitement in someone new is very rewarding. I suspect that's what happened in the jewellery store.

And that goes both ways: nothing is more annoying than a clerk who doesn't know anything, and even gets the information on the label wrong.

'people skills' are highly dependent on what people you wish to get along with. the 'socially skilled' marketing guy with good hair? ever notice how the more technical people on your team want to murder that guy? Many of us prefer to hang out with people who stare at their shoes while explaining what a forrier transform is over that asshole with the good hair who is talking about how cool his yoga weekend was (or whatever the cool people are doing these days)

So yeah, while you want people who are socially compatible to work together, keep in mind that managers and technical people have very different preferences when it comes to choosing friends.
The value of Steve's life is incalculable, even priceless, but the value of his continued tenure at Apple indeed has a dollar value. This is what the stock market is concerned about.

It certainly sounds like that's the case, based on this sentence from the article:

I recommend getting a firm to do it for you, especially if it’s your first time, or you’re outside the US.
True enough, but this particular article is completely unsourced. It is very little more than gossip at this point.
Or maybe it just means that God hacked most of it together with Perl:

http://xkcd.com/224/
It's trivial to counter indeed; you don't need any packet inspection for that. The main anomaly is not in the header structure, it's in the number of sessions opened simultaneously by one host. This particular tool uses broken headers for some reasons; other ones don't. But they all open sessions excessively.

So you just use iptables connlimit match block the clients with more than e.g. 10 connections.

Measuring velocity is not enough to determine team productivity
I think the argument is totally flawed. Brains and eyeballs are biological. Perhaps biology is more bottoms up than top down or more like generate and test, yet it produces systems of incredible complexity that are remarkably robust. For example a human heart beats ~ 1 billion times, I've yet to see a human designed and architected pump do that. We just don't understand very well yet how the liver and pancreas work and western medicine is particularly weak in taking a holistic or systems view to the body.

Software, bad or good, is not like biology and it's not like construction. Software is mathematics.

"Who would lead?"

Jon Rubenstein? I think the Palm Pre is of the same calibre in terms of innovation and ease of use as any Apple product. I'd like to see what Palm could do with Jon at the helm, and the same resources as Apple.
> I'm mostly curious so that I can try to avoid any such pitfalls in any server software I might write.

If you start a thread for each connection, you're doing it wrong.
Out of curiousity, what are your examples of Jobs inviting people into his private life? From where I stand, he's always been very demanding about the need to keep his private life private.

Apple does not rely on Jobs' public profile for success. Yes, they do rely on his ability as a driver of innovation, but if Jobs were never to say a word in public again, it wouldn't seem to hurt Apple (at least, that's my opinion, having watched the last keynote without him). As such, I don't think Jobs has traded on publicity for his success, and can consequently reasonably request that we leave his private life alone.

Meh.
Another way to look at it is that colour is effectively an infinite dimensional vector, but we can only sense a 3 dimensional function of that. (Fewer dimensions if you're colourblind, more if you're a bird.)
I'm not saying none exist. I have a windows machine that I use mostly for IE. But (a) I didn't buy it for that purpose, it already existed and (b) I would probably want to use sites I work on in IE even if it worked perfectly. It's the most popular browser. They don't have to break IE.
I've never had any experience with any of this, but this sounds very practical in theory.
Yeah, we know it has a material effect... but that's not why this is here. Apple's stock isn't interesting Hacker News.

This is here because it's really fun talking about Steve Jobs, love him or hate him, and because the man's the archetypal startup founder along with Woz. That's totally fine but let's not kid ourselves.
You can read the thesis that later became "Purely Functional Data Structures" for free online:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rwh/theses/okasaki.pdf

It's a great read even for those who don't yet have experience with functional programming.
Actually, just blocking originating IPs would not stop a DDoS based on this. The simplest approach would be to timeout the connection if a credible set of headers is not received within a certain time.

This attack is based on the idea the attacker commands more resources than the target server. It doesn't fly very well.
I've developed my own code of ethics, which says... that Steve Jobs is a better man than most of us will ever be. He pursued the things he was curious in, made sophisticated pieces of technology readily available for consumers, was enough of an asshole not to have to conform much of his work to standards he couldn't bear to conform to, developed enough business acumen to deal with lots of people he probably didn't want to deal with, funded the most brilliant animator of this generation out of his own pocket, created not one but two companies with a greater reputation for excellence than any company that's existed before, and he did it all with a flair for the dramatic. In the meantime he got married and had kids and survived cancer and talked a lot to kids about loving life and survival.

When I use a computer or listen to an iPod, when I prepare to upload my music to iTunes practically hassle-free, when I look at the Mac-using companies that have developed beautiful products, I'm aware that Steve Jobs stands as a symbol for all of the things I love about this community. A lot of us have that feeling. It's not celebrity worship like gets slurred around a lot. It's more that Jobs was the first pro-aesthetic guy in computers, and he's remained an inspiration and a hero to those of us that like beautiful product, and revolutionary product, and annual dramatic revelations on-stage.
That would be phreaking awesome, I wondered if that was possible for years.
It's insane not because it's cynical, but because we've now seen twice that when Steve Jobs is gone, Apple falls back on TimCookPhilSchillerEddyCueJonathanIve and every other one of its other brilliant, beauty-minded industrialists. Jobs once said that he views Apple as his lasting triumph, not the Mac or the iPod, because with Apple he took his ideals and embedded them within the company upon his return. The result is that any one of the people at Apple is as brilliant as Jobs is. Some would argue that Tim Cook is a better Jobs than Jobs himself.

Joel Rubinstein came from Apple. IIRC, Palm's founders too.

My first Palm even matched Newton's colors...

Seriously: Palm right now has its fortune hanging on a smartphone that cannot be used anyplace other than the US.

As much as I wish them well (I really do) I am not confident Joel could lead the whole PC industry anywhere. He has his hands full.

I would consider hiring back Wozniak. The guy has some serious street cred.
I rarely get angry at other people but a certain, mostly rational, part of me is often quite frustrated with the part of me that acts stupid. I have no idea how to reconcile these two parts.
I am sure Apple would survive if Jobs retired as a company spokesman as long as he kept showing up for his very competent job as innovation driver.

I am not sure someone would be able to step in his shoes when he decides to retire.

Doesn't IE8 support some of HTML5? Doesn't that make it obvious that the "unfinished" line is total BS to justify strategic standards compliance manouvres?

Note they use the exact same excuse for dodgy ODF in Office and surely no one is gullible enough to believe Microsoft has a sincere desire to deliver on that standard.
It's marketing bullshit. There's lots of that in the world. It's not worth paying attention unless somebody in this community still uses IE by choice.

The media really doesn't care much for web browser competition. Blogs, do, but the blogs that care are the ones read by people who already know IE is bad.

Microsoft isn't doing some clever targeting with this. It's pretty obvious that they're going after ignorant people with an ignorant tactic, and let's face it, they couldn't attract users any other way.
For them, the best way to attract users is to make OEMs bundle only Windows+IE with computers they sell. Most people don't reinstall the OS or even know what IE is.

Targeting smart people is seldom a smart strategy - they are not as numerous.

Firstly, thanks for posting this comment. It's got several interesting sides. It got me thinking about myself and everyone else in a way, I mean.. most of needs to fill 'that empty space' with something. Be it video games, programming, working 'til death, watching a lot of porn, smoke a lot of <favorite pipe filling>, drink oneself a sleep etc.

I'm not sure if I got a point to this comment, but I do feel quite 'small' in the "big whole" sometimes. And feel it's sad we all run our individual race from start to finish (more or less).
Wrong. Light spectra are infinite-dimensional. But color is a neural response to stimulus: it is definitionally identical to what we can sense.
