I wouldn't be bothered seeing any of this on a resume. In fact, would you please send me a resume? We have a fun role for clever people like you. :-)

Diaspora is a real word. There will not be confusion like you think there will be.

I'm impressed and surprised that they have released code. I worried that the initial flurry of money and hype would derail them. Many projects never get this far, and for this, they deserve to be commended. They've built something and d

Oh man, this is awesome. Too bad it's vim-specific and not a shell built-in, which would be handy.

I'm really curious how they will count ad impressions in this new system. Can anyone find any comments on that? Google is CPC, but the number of impressions has a dramatic impact on price.

Company B. Roles change all the time. Especially if you work hard to make sure they change. Great companies are hard to come by.

There are a lot of different versions of the truth here and of what the facts are. I think most folks believe that the amounts and concealment were not really issues, as neither was either significant or deliberate. I think the real issue w

I'd love to hear more about how you navigated this process. I had just assumed it was "impossible" unless you are Boeing or Halliburton.

"looks bad" :-) But it's a bad habit to get into. Or better yet, it's better to think in idempotent operations when doing systems work.

My experience and of those around me is quite different. Maybe Silicon Valley is different. It's quite easy to liberate IP from a worthless company.

System Administrator - OpenDNS - San Francisco, CA Network Administrator - OpenDNS - San Francisco, CA 11+ datacenters, lots of servers, lots of bandwidth, lots of users. Great company. Great opportunity.

All that you have to consider is how much you burn on a monthly basis and how long you can sustain to focus on your endeavor without any stable source of income. Having full-time to focus on your plans will help, if you can afford to not be

I hope those guys aren't still VCs. I've never heard of something so stupid. VCs aren't in the business of holding onto IP.

No, it will not. I'm not sure what filing fees you are referring to. Your Schedule D with the SEC? There's not much else that needs to be filed. This can all be done in one 409A evaluation immediately after the financing.

Get a new lawyer. You can definitely do a round with different investors getting different share prices. At the very least, your lawyer can structure a Series A-1, A-2, A-3, each with a different share price, but otherwise being identical

This is the definition of irony. Patents coming back to bite you for having them!

This is not an idempotent operation, and I would not recommend this for anything besides a one-off event.

Actually the press release seems relatively specific in their claims. I'd expect the actual complaint to be even more explicit. If it's true, it will not be very hard to prove. As an aside, this stuff happens quite often. It's inappropria

The real power of GA is watching it scale to handle 100mm+ monthly pageviews. Can Piwik do this?

Not if they are even halfway decent. That's the entire point. An hour a month should suffice.

How do you know they've filed a ptent on it? Just saying it on a website doesn't make it true. Also, applications won't show up for at least a year. That said, you have a year to get your patent in from when you first launched your servic

Businesses patent things for a variety of reasons; it may be a stupid system but it's more stupid not to participate in it.

It's not being pedantic. The word was used incorrectly, as that word often is. It's worth correcting so the author and others are made aware.

Most property management companies are actually just managing the contractors who fix the sprinklers... those people aren't on your payroll. Usually property managers just take a fixed % of all the rental revenue.

I've definitely seen it used in both Nor Cal and So Cal to slow traffic down. They do it on I-5 fairly often during rush hour, of all times.

That's just not true. Maybe a Yahoo! Answers redesign and rebranding, but certainly not the launch of Yahoo! Answers which was formerly known as Ask Yahoo!

The appengine photo URL service is just the first step in what will eventually be a full-blown CDN service for Appengine, and I'm sure ultimately, any Google AdWords customer. I'm sure all the CDNs are really excited about this prospect...

You are simply incorrect in your facts. I can't cite how I know, but if you look up who I am you can probably guess that I'm aware of the largest DDoS's in the world that take place.

I gave these guys money based on a set of expectations. They haven't even come remotely close to meeting those expectations. I think the reason I'm not being more vocal is because I feel bad for these guys and just assume they are in way o
