But it is common enough to assume that the rest of the world agrees with you, when you think someone is wrong.

Please, tell me what that's like.

You got so hung up on and defensive about my question that you were blind to my reasoning. I wasn't trying to hurt your feelings — I was offering a genuine explanation. There is no chance of a "constructive" discussion with people like you once they've made themselves a victim.

You haven't attempted to explain why my explanation was poor — which is less than what I gave you — but you're too invested in the lie that you don't understand my post to turn back now! And it's weird as hell to witness. You're a real big man.
Good advertising should benefit both the advertiser and the advertisee. The biggest problem that I have with Google's targeted ads is that my interests are apparently so narrow that I just see the same ads for Stormpath and Pentaho over and over again.

There should be a provision somewhere in your operating agreement that tax liability on unrecognized income will be paid by the company -- look for that.

Top Evaluation Criteria When Selecting a Prototyping Tool – Savah App
Worth reading this article, will certainly helps to save time and money for your next project. Top 10 Evaluation Criteria when Selecting a Prototyping Tool | Savah App
http://www.savahapp.com/blog/ten-evaluation-criteria-on-selecting-a-prototyping-tool
You are now faced with a number of decisions, namely: financial, emotional, moral and a business decision in general.

On the financial front, the decision is easy to remedy, if the other founders are willing. Ideal scenario is (a) Your 3% equity is fully-vested (b) 3% equity cannot be further diluted (c) you get retrospective compensation and (d) You get another good raise.

Morally, you have been wronged. It is tempting to take the high ground and take full offensive on principal alone (fight) or cut all ties (flight). But a moral victory won't last long when you need to find a new job, when you realise your stake is gone or if the company gets a big exit 2 years down.

Emotionally, you have every right to be upset and you'll need to find a way to deal with it. My own two cents is, "don't be a wuss" or anywhere near that frame of mind--you'll come out stronger and smarter, whatever happens.

In terms of making a value-judgement business decision, your best outcome is that things get reconciled and you put this all behind yourselves, they apologise, you build a rapport with them and have discussions on how this can be avoided in the future. You may need to highlight to them all that you have given to this company and you are willing to reconcile if they are. You should probably not go in to work for 3-4 days (I am presuming they know you are upset and why) and wait for them to contact you during this time. If they contact you and are showing any signed of reconciliation your conversation should be about (a) how they can make things right financially (all 4 points above) and (b) how to avoid this in the future so that the company can have a strong moral standing. During this time, you should prepare for the worst and talk to a lawyer with the correct expertise.
Have you not seen how much outrage appears whenever Microsoft change the Windows desktop?

Microsoft also gets the reverse treatment: criticism for "excessive" backwards compatibility^ and leaving old products in use that people want to kill (IE6).

^ Except when they were sabotaging Lotus, Quarterdeck, OS/2, and Samba back in the 90s.
EDIT this conversation came up while I was writing this comment on another thread. Some of my questions have already been answered so I've reworded it.

Said it before, and I'll say it again - DRF is one of the few things that makes me wish I was on Django.

Is the newer DRF code abstracted nicely to make a port to Flask easier?

It's something I actually looked at doing myself a year ago but there looked to be a lot of effort involved.

I often look at projects that are Django-this or Flask-that and think to myself - this could be a nice clean agnostic library with layers for which ever framework. Often by that stage it's too late, everything is too embedded.

In this case, I guess that DRF intrinsically deals with the framework specific layers a lot so it's probably necessarily tightly bound.
The culmination of such an approach is realized in the Beaker Notebook (http://www.beakernotebook.com). You can not only switch between languages, but the environment allows you to share datasets between Groovy, Python, JS, Julia, Ruby etc ..

It's a work in progress, but something to watch out for, imho
To add one more in the list, Google Talk eventually became Hangouts. The list states that it was abandoned in 2013, but it was actually still working properly at the end of 2014 when I last used it. I don't know if it works any more, since I eventually switched to hangouts (although I was reluctant to do so - https://twitter.com/StathisG/status/530740696719060992).
I'm surprised it hasn't dropped more. This article pegged it at a 9.5% drop.

I'm sure they could have licensed the equivalent code from someone like Oracle, but the CFO would have probably balked at the costs. VMware received an extremely generous offer from Hellwig and his co-contributors, at zero price, even. Not honouring their side of the deal is no different from defrauding any other of their contractors.

You can say this about pretty much every traditional news site out there today. Most of them are just horrible.
LGPL might be the best solution then (I personally would say LGPL should be used for everything, but that’s a personal opionion), because LGPL only goes viral through actual forking, but does not consider linking.
You are correct in that capital gains are only triggered at the time of sale. But that has little to do with the OP's problem which is the taxable benefit he gets when buying the shares.

As an employee, if I buy shares of a company at a discount then that discount is taxable income -- not capital gains. Buying the shares as they vest is a way to minimize this tax. The adjusted cost base of the stock is changed to become the fair market value (on which the tax has already been paid) so that when they're eventually sold, the difference between ACB and sale price is a capital gain which only pays half the tax.

In his case he could end up paying taxes at full marginal rate on an inflated amount, and if the company goes under, gets a capital loss that a) doesn't offset the taxes paid earlier and b) is not usable until he gets capital gains elsewhere.

The CRA lets you carry the taxable benefit forward until you sell the stocks. I'd suggest talking to an accountant, not a lawyer. Also see http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/ncm-tx/rtrn/cmpltng/...
>The problem is that no one really knows what constitutes "safe" use of GPL

Outside of a business that can hire lawyers, it would be helpful for the FSF and sites like http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause to have examples right beneath the licenses. Something like: "Here is a JS plugin with BSD-3 here is another plugin based on it. Note how the license did/didn't change." "Here is an MIT license and an example of a company adding that code to their app with license intact on the app's about screen". Stuff like that. http://choosealicense.com/ is helpful, and part of the way there.
I think his point was that Code and Code Search are/were different products.
Will government arrest itself? As it hacks into computers and hacking is crime. Or does government have a different law than its citizens?
>Is this your opinion, or fact?

Well, it depends on the feature set you need, but to a level that most people might consider fact.

From memory, no support for TLS connections, SMTP AUTH, or SPF/DKIM on mail. That, plus it has very limited support in general and needs an arcane collection of patches to remain workable.

Other mail servers can work around its restrictions, yes, but that doesn't make it fit for purpose.
I wish there was a website illustrating the political compass of companies. Showing their affiliate network, money flows, endorsements/statements, tax-haven parent companies and ivory collections of elephant hunting CEOs. Call me reactionary.

Given the relatively recent passing of its founder, a founder who remained so intensely and directly and involved with new product development up until the very end, Apple's stock is so bizarrely difficult to value right now that I can't fathom making it part of a bellwether indicator like the DJIA.
You should talk to a lawyer and/or accountant but this doesn't sound right at all. First, why are you buying your options? In he US you typically don't acquire them till you leave the company. I also don't see how you could rack up that sort of tax bill on a company and shares that cheap. You should also consider asking the "company" to help you out with the tax bill. This all just doesn't sound right.
There's also a very big difference between having "anti-Mexican sentiment", for example being against any further legal immigration for the foreseeable future, and having sentiment against Jose and his family who run your favorite Mexican restaurant. People who, if you're smart, you get to know, and with enough people doing that, help the "melting pot" metaphor do its magic.

Getting back to Chinese restaurants, for a long while I lived in a small apartment on the same block as the Cambridge, MA Necco factory. Not all that long after moving in, a Chinese restaurant opened up in the building between our apartment and the major thoroughfare. We made a point of getting the owner's phone number so we could call him if we noticed anything happening to the restaurant.
And the recent "Internet Freedom Act" http://arstechnica.com/business/2015/03/republicans-internet... with this choice quote from its author: "Once the federal government establishes a foothold into managing how Internet service providers run their networks they will essentially be deciding which content goes first, second, third, or not at all"

It's risky, but it's not that risky. I'm sure freedom-hating, source-code-hoarding Apple has made the analysis that making Xcode work with copylefted git isn't going to make them reveal their source code. Back when Jobs got pwned by the GPL during his NeXT days, he probably vowed "never again", but that doesn't mean Apple has stopped shipping GPL'ed code.

If Apple can afford to use the GPL, i.e. they think the GPL risk is low enough for them and won't make them free their entire codebase, then anyone can also make this assessment.
We use both. I came in with a preference for Django but the applications we build are generally talking to legacy data stores so we more or less lose the Django ORM right off the bat. That cancels out a lot of the advantages Django has, unfortunately.

I'm actually agreeing with you. The trick is that the remedy for defrauding a vendor is clear: you pay a fine. I've worked directly with folks who believed that the only remedy for a GPL violation was completely turning over their entire business to the public domain. That fear kept them from even touching GPL'd code, including in ways that would be completely compliant and beneficial to everyone involved.

For the most part I would guess that laws that are perceived as an attempt to restrict people from doing what they want, are in fact meant to protect innocent people from becoming victims of crimes.

A lot of these laws, no doubt, if executed more thoughtfully, would bring us far more reasonable laws.

Ultimately I think it boils down to being able to (a) convince citizens they need to make thoughtful consideration when voting for their representatives, and (b) convince qualified people that they should run for office.

In this case, the format of the documentation provided by HMRC is legally important. gov.uk's remit isn't to get the law changed, it's to improve digital services wherever possible - and in this case, all they can really do is integrate it into the existing site.
So it's similar to what happened following the adoption of metal helmets over cloth hats in WW1; injuries increased significantly because immediately attributable casualties decreased. The helmets stopped soldiers from dying but didn't deter them from risky behavior.

Sigh... this is such an annoying comparison. If you want to compare, compare React to Angular Directives since that's a valid argument.

Your entire complaint is that full-stack front-end frameworks are bad and modular systems are good. It's great that you prefer modularity and the ability to mix and match tools.

But stop pretending React vs Angular is a thing. It isn't. git vs FTP... just stop.
Imagine a contract that says "You owe me 5% of the revenue you make in any product derived from my project." This is reasonable, it is how royalties work for many different things and it's a pretty battle-tested model. I think we can all agree that if you sign such a contract and then don't pay the royalties, then you can reasonably be taken to court for failing to comply with the contract, and forced to pay what you owe, plus damages to keep you from trying it again. The GPL is similar to a contract like that, except that it says "if you agree to redistribute your derived works under this same contract, you don't owe any royalties at all." So it's similarly reasonable to be taken to court for failing to comply with those terms, and forced to pay damages.

So I think the "harm" is that they failed to adhere to the contract they made with him. That may not be satisfying to you, but that's certainly enough in itself for this to go to court. Contracts is fundamental to how modern societies function—courts enforce that when parties agree to legal terms, those terms are adhered to.

I must admit, I had a dim view of what would come out of GOV.UK 3-or-so years ago. But I have to admit that I've been pleasantly surprised; the task they've set for themselves is gigantic in proportion, and so far the product has been pretty impressive.

So this is good, and I hope they continue to improve digital infrastructure in the UK. I like to think the current projects are the most important step — general improvements to accessibility, discoverability and usability of government documentation. But I expect we'll see progressive implementation of government departments' tools on top of the gov.uk platform as it comes time to renew them — and so far, it feels like that's a much better option than what we saw in the past.

An issue that I've consistently run into is being able to write to related models. I can serialize them just fine, but without being able to write, it forces users to come up with nasty work arounds. To be fair, I hate having to write resources that handle writing nested objects, but there are some many front end use cases where multiple writes is not ideal.

You may be right, but he may also have an easy case. The point is, talk to a lawyer before deciding what to do. It could be that there is no case and pursuing this would be completely pointless. It could be that this is a complete slam-dunk for both damages and legal fees and it's completely worth doing. Or it could be somewhere in between, but he needs to know where he stands before deciding.
I'll paraphrase a few snippets from my own documentation to answer these questions. Happy to comment more if needed.

Information models are often superior to APIs, and almost always better than DSLs. The hyper-flexibility of a data structure literal allows Onyx workflows and catalogs to be constructed at a distance, meaning on another machine, in a different language, by another program, etc. Contrast this to Storm. Topologies are written with functions, macros, and objects. These things are specific to a programming language, and make it hard to work at a distance - specifically in the browser. JavaScript is the ultimate place to be when creating specifications.

Further, the information model for an Onyx workflow has the distinct advantage that it's possible to compile other workflows (perhaps a datalog) into the workflow that Onyx understands.

See https://github.com/MichaelDrogalis/onyx/blob/0.5.x/doc/user-... for a continued explanation of why Onyx is more of an "open" concept.
There is so much misinformation in this thread.

I would consider that perhaps your facts are wrong. Perhaps the first investor did a convertible note. Perhaps he did a loan.

First thing I would do is calmly talk to the CEO directly and tell him what the CFO told you and why it makes you concerned.

There's no reason to be disgusted (yet) from reading your pastebin.

And even if it's true, then you simply need to ask the company to cover your tax burden and then move forward with getting back to work.

This is not that big of a deal.
The DJIA is so flawed I'm surprised this is news. A dollar change to an $800 stock affects the DJIA just as much as a dollar change tn a $30 stock so the DJIA is nearly meaningless.

Integrate Google Public DNS with Google Search Results
I wonder if Google has implemented such feature: the top search results show the DNS-translated links. So whenever I click the top results, the DNS translation will be bypassed. As we know, many of the links might be first-time access. Such integration could speed up web access a lot.

It is something like the Gmail prefetching feature.
I agree and would also add that the increased speed of the game has lessened the amount of bad injuries. Goons have pretty much been eliminated and there' only room for really skilled guys - which means a lot less hard checking and chippie play.

Although the occasional rivalry game will produce more hitting and hard checking. You can see the Wild v. Avalanche this past week or the Flyers v. Penguins last month which included a ton of PM's and four fights - a rare occurrence these days.

Honestly, I think the best way to promote open source licenses over free software copyleft licenses is to make sure the GPL has obvious, proven teeth.

That way, commercial companies that don't want to risk the successful lawsuit and just want to build on existing code will go the MIT/BSD route exclusively; and GPL can remain in the academic and the ideologically-driven free software sector where it's really much more suited.

If a company then wants to actually be a free software-based company, more power to them, but there'll be a lot less stumbling into that situation and half-assing the ethics of it like we see now.

If nothing else, giving the GPL teeth will force the confrontations and precedents that finally define the boundaries of the copyleft concept and let people make more informed choices.
