OP, can you clarify why the NDA had not been discussed before building? And did you agree beforehand to her keeping 100% of the equity? If you did, was there any contract/agreement signed to that effect?

Also curious to the course structure and student roles: Did other teams in class form companies? If this more like a regular class project, then I wonder if you could call it a day with both sides retaining a copy of the final report, while she retains the biz details (spreadsheets, etc) and you retain the tech bits (code). She would be free to find another dev to build a new app based on current specs, just as you would be free to find another business person if you decided to pursue the concept.

In any case I wouldn't sign any agreement without legal help at this stage.

Product Management Advice from Adrian Jank
The CPU side can definitely be matched but packing in the GPU power would take a lifecycle at least as long as the last console generations.

Personally I'm dismayed by the level of CPU performance found in the new consoles. Last generation quickly ran into a roadblock posed by the limited memory capacity but I think developers have been hamstrung by a lack of CPU horsepower right out of the gate. This is coming from a total layman who can only interpret benchmarks but I know that Jaguar's IPC is very weak compared to every other modern x86 design and the power of a single thread is a huge limitation no matter how much you try to program around it.
I am sure this is correct, but you are certainly sitting on a data gold mine.

No, that is wrong.

The qualification for insider trading is that it be a public company. Private companies don't fall under insider trading laws and public companies don't do 409a's.
Perhaps the question should be, "Why are you even that worried about performance?" Instagram and Pinterest, two extremely high-traffic sites, run on Python. And as always, a little caching goes a long way.

As a hearing-impaired user, I'd actually love something like this if I could "train" it to specific sounds, like my doorbell. Since my phone is almost always in my pocket or hand at home, it would be very easy to feel the vibration and I'd know someone rang the doorbell.

I don't think Chuck was referring to you personally, since that would be a magnificently foolish thing to do. He was probably referring to the possibility of a wink or a nod to certain family members, or perhaps even to a friendly VC that sends you deal flow.

Once again, I'm getting downvoted for illustrating how the vast majority of insider trading goes on unprosecuted. I'm not alleging it in this case, I'm merely pointing out that it's possible.
Or how about we as human beings do all we can to get people out of there safely, instead of praying for a miracle? "Protecting from harm and danger" after a natural disaster is not how God works.

Check out my app - https://zetabee.com/text/

Basically option pricing. Quoting Henry Ward

"There are tons of large and small firms to choose from. Almost all firms valuing early stage companies use the Option Pricing Model (OPM) (Black Scholes or Binomial) valuation method. So if you have a recently priced round, every firm will give you basically the same answer."

That depends on their original agreement, what the scope of that "100%" she was getting was.
I posted this on the blog itself, but re-mentioning it here... I've been evolving Xiki for over 10 years to do be a language for doing this kind of thing. The ideas is you can interact with trees and other nested structures (file paths, dbs, general UI's) from your text editor, using a simple plaintext representation, but in a GUI-like manner.

I've done talks about Xiki at RubyConf, Strange Loop, and QCon. Here's a quick 3 minute video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUR_eUVcABg. I'm doing a Kickstarter campaign soon, to bring Xiki support to vim, sublime, and possibly other text editors!
These are serious accusations against Coinbase. There is absolutely no excuse for an artificial 2x inflation of numbers, especially for something that's supposed to be "partial"
standard NDA agreement and unpaid intern. and I should have 100% are all different things.

This is overall a bit odd. An NDA agreement isn't necessarily an ownership agreement.

My advice is to talk to an IP lawyer and understand where the ownership truly lies before you sign it.
No experience and not a lawyer here either

But even putting aside all the money-talk, while I was reading the story I almost feel like she's not being very respectful of the effort you have put in. It sounds like you and her have a co-creaters relationship, and you have participated and put in equal (if not more) amount of work throughout the entire project.

This "I should have 100%" thing makes it sound as if you were working under her all along and she's asking you to sign away all the rights you have for your project. This sounds bad but think about it, she might not even have this app today if it weren't for your effort, why does she own the right to claim 100% of the app?

Ask HN: Why was the CNET interview with Brendan Eich taken down?
I don't get this at all. He either embraces the inclusiveness Mozilla espouses or he steps down. Simple as that.

This is a human rights issue, there really is no other way around it. It's sad on all sides. Mozilla is doing work I support and believe in, but Eich has really tainted that. If Eich continues with his logical conclusion, then Mozilla will fall on the wrong side of history.

Frontier was one of my first experiences with programming and I still have a soft spot for it. Small nit: Frontier was the environment (object database, etc.), UserTalk was the scripting language Frontier used.
The deal is firefox browser engine is slower than chrome's.Doesnt mean javascript slower per say,but the engine responsible for rendering anything on the screen is.And asmjs or whatever is not going to improve that.
I think the CPU story is pretty reasonable this console generation. You trade single thread performance for a more powerful and space efficient design. It is just a lot easier to optimize the CPU than the GPU especially running on a gaming focused platform so console makers always trade CPU for extra graphics power.
I use WPF at a low level (no framework components beyond Canvas) in pure C# (no icky XAML); which is probably why WinRT/Silverlight are so unappealing. WPF works well for me but eventually I'll have move onto Direct2D and DirectWrite I guess, but I'll have to use a C# wrapper.

Taxes are the thing holding it back. With Obamacare, if you're in business in California making over $250k/year personally, you'll pay 53% in taxes (38% Federal, 12% State, 3% Obama).

If you're a small business owner that owns 100%, you really own 47%. You're a minority shareholder in your own company.
IANAL, but I would trust your gut instinct on this - don't sign anything unless you're comfortable with the terms. It leaves the project in a weird state, but if your co-creator is being this aggressive to dismiss your claim, you may want to leave it this way.

Several years ago I had a problem similar in nature. A co-founder of my old-company parted with us on unfriendly terms. However, before we parted she didn't sign any paperwork. When we got accepted into an incubator and she found out, she threatened to sue us for 33 1/3% of the company. Our legal representation at the time told us that it would be considered an equal partnership if we didn't have paperwork stating otherwise. Ultimately she had all the leverage b/c she didn't sign anything.
Yes, it's laggy on Firefox compared to Chrome and eats all of the CPU (with two cores), so this shouldn't be used on any website. But it looks like it's just updating the positions of HTML elements and it's not using HTML5 canvas.
:-) Thanks, none taken.
> Anecdotal, but in every place I've worked or been with people running Windows, most people run everything maximized and switch between applications.

Were their monitors small? That could be a contributing factor.

Maybe it is a personal preference, but I never liked fullscreen applications for anything - I'd only maximise if I was focused on one application's content, and it was large enough that scrolling would be reduced significantly if I did so. At any given time I probably have several other things running, and I like to see what the other apps are doing and/or refer to them. I'm also not really a fan of tabbed browsing, since I often compare and look at several pages simultaneously, and with only tabs, I would otherwise have to remember the previous page's contents as I switched between them.
> You have to deal with this but you don't have to use a similar method to what TCP does.

Particularly if you are not using the similar methods, a thorough understanding of TCP is helpful.

Otherwise you run into the possibility of reinventing TCP badly.

OP here: To clarify, I did not agree with her keeping 100% of the equity. At the time, I mainly wanted to focus on developing the product first, thinking that she would find herself ridiculous after seeing the complete app. We never reached an agreement/conclusion and I have not signed anything yet. And thank you so much for all the advice. It has been really helpful!
Super.

I know someone in security who writes ruby that looks like C.

I was also curious about the space part of the project.
Thanks, will do! Right now I'm pretty well interested in working in San Francisco, as Boston would be a huge jump I'm not ready for. The hardware stuff looks cool, but I don't know if I have enough experience for that (as usual). I wonder where people even start off with embedded software, since every job listing I've seen for such a thing requires 5+ years.

The funny thing is the MSP430 is more of a hobbyist's building tool than something I'd expect someone with 5 years to use. As a college student I've used slightly more powerful platforms, but I'd love to work with that. TI even has a nifty watch platform ,that I've been thinking about buying to toy around with.

Anyway, if not for that, there's plenty of mobile stuff I'd love to work on too :D Your company is pretty cool in that regard since you cover both bases, just as I do.

Thanks for coming here to talk about fitbit ^^
I would recommend Melbourne IT or Namecheap for what you are looking for. I would recommend you take advantage of WHOIS protection, two factor authentication, locking your domain at the registrar level (not just with Namecheap for example, but with the actual registrar), using strong passwords, etc.

The company can only do so much, so make sure you do everything you can do as well to make your domains as secure as possible.
I posted this on the last thread, but I am definitely still looking for volunteers.

I'm actually currently starting to look for a co-contributor or two, there is so much that I want to get done, and having an extra set of eyes and hands would be great.

I am working on a framework/concept called ghostream (https://ghostream.com / https://github.com/ghostream/ghostream)

ghostream is a stream processing framework, built in C++ - it is a data stream processing framework. Having used numerous commercial ones (most notably IBM's Streams), and building various other part-frameworks (i.e. for time and budget reasons focussed on one particular thing) I has an itch to build an open source one (while storm and samza are definitely related, I feel they fall into a slightly different category - I'm all about the streams :) )

It is still in very active development - but the base is solidified now and the new test framework is starting to shape up nicely. There are a whole list of issues on github + a roadmap waiting to be exploited.

I have already started dog-fooding it in my other personal projects - the most visual of which can be seen here: http://jamielewis.me.uk/posts/2013-11-03-Mapping-Earthquakes....

If this strikes your interest give me a shout: jamie@ghostream.com.

Why the joking punctuation? With userspace filesystems it is easy to expose any tree like data as a filesystem. In fact, a while ago I made a (still readonly) filesystem for my browser bookmarks.

Absolutely true. Especially the bit about recruiters.
Most HN contributors wouldn't have trouble using Windows 8. True and fair. However, the context of the parent comment was recommending an OS for his (presumably less tech savvy) parents. I couldn't agree more in this regard. I recommend either OSX or Windows 7 to anyone in the family who asks.

The missing start menu may not be a current issue, but it's a fair example of what's wrong with Windows 8 from a UX perspective. That is to say - abandoning almost everything that is familiar about the Windows UX in favor of a new and largely unproven desktop interface.

On top of it all, it's a touch-centric interface that feels (to many people, at least) out of place in a desktop. I personally can't imagine jabbing at my desktop monitor with my finger. What works on a tablet in my lap becomes really awkward when the screen is a full arms length from my face.

If the monitor in question isn't a touchscreen, then what's left is a really unfortunate mess that most less tech-savvy users are going to have a tough time getting rid of.
Yes, we want to add support for editing JavaScript directly in Puzlet Web Lab (it's particularly useful for copy/pasting snippets). We've found, however, that writing scientific computing code is much more succinct in CoffeeScript. Moroever, it is fully compatible with all JS libraries.

Note also that you can see generated JS by clicking the "JS" toggle button in Puzlet Web Lab.
The question arises: what is the scope of compressive sensing? What you show is l1 regularization. This has been around far longer than the term 'compressive sensing'. Even the theory underlying it pre-dates 'compressive sensing' [1]. I think the 'compressive' 'sensing' aspect comes about due to the possibility of literally, 'compressively sensing', not just in using 'l1-regularization'.

Further, an ambiguity arises in the concept of the interactive graphics in the OP website: the graphical explanation shown holds not just for 'l1' regularization, but also for say, 'l2' regularization (and other regularizations). The 'bar' could also represent a scaled version of the l2 norm. It is not easily apparent why it should only be 'l1'.

When it comes to graphical intuition for compressive sensing, I find the 'l2-ball' (intersects 'low-dimensional measurements' at dense points ) vs. 'l1-ball' (intersects 'low-dimensional measurement' equations on sparse points in the plane, thus 'promoting sparsity', see for example, [2]) to be more lucid.

Since you already have the excellent interactive web-site, can you possibly include the l1-ball vs. l2-ball [2] graphic?

Edit:

Another suggestion: The OP website format is a great way to demonstrate the utility of regularizations in optimization, which has wide applications in machine learning, data interpolation, etc.[3]

I heartily agree regarding your point on rigor, but I'm increasingly of the opinion that, because of MIT's excellent online offerings, legendary engineers like Musk no longer need to be in MIT to experience the MIT rigor. They can do the courses in the summers, and hangout with MIT students to build their teams for their first few startups.

I vehemently disagree regarding grades. Grades are the stupidest measure of engineering ability. Paper tests are meaningless except as a measure for the most basic levels of competence in mathematics and physics. We are talking about people who push the state of the art. These people are often very annoyed by tests, since it is idiotic to use an extremely distant proxy (i.e. a test) for an ability like like engineering when it's much simpler (and infinitely more satisfying) to just practice engineering itself.

The only measure of an engineer's skill is his ability to built elegant systems. This cannot be taught through a course. It must be learned through iteration, and repetitive failure.

If you don't have a LinkedIn profile, get one.

Make sure your summary is well written and keyworded with words that recruiters are looking for (and that apply to you) - Rails, C++, graphics, what have you.

Flesh out your past jobs section. Keyword these descriptions too as relevant (technologies used, major popular frameworks, libraries, etc).

Basically reverse engineer the recruiter's practices - they're using a search tool, searching for keywords relevant to the position they're fielding. This is not very different from SEO. Increase the likelihood of being in a search result and watch the recruiters pile in.

While you're at it, make sure your resume is always up to date and available on your own website (if you don't have a website, get one). Make sure you are high up in Google results for your own name. Keyword your resume the same way you'd do your LinkedIn profile - maybe ~5% of the recruiters that show up end up coming directly via my website through some kind of search.
