Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, and am not providing legal advice. I am, however, closely related to a partner at a CPA firm who deals with this sort of fall-out all the time. The lack of documentation is hugely problematic, and will only be

In the case of mongrel or lamson, I don't see the difference. All of the binding clauses of the GPL apply to distribution. It isn't until I distribute it that I have any responsibilities at all. So if I use mongrel or lamson I'm not distrib

I'll throw more support in for Braintree. We use them, and they are great. Their customer vault API is simple, straightforward, and very effective. They've been quick, and their whole system just makes slightly more sense than the others. I

More specifically: We have no real network administrators. Within our engineering team we collectively have the skill to be an effective at systems administration, but the hardware side is really a complete mystery. Co-location mostly solve

What if I reject the premise? I've yet to see a compelling argument as to why this type of self-selection is truly harmful. Why is it a problem if folks of similar culture choose to utilize the same tools? This idea that we should all live

Although we have none of the tools those reporters do. We're not on the scene. We're not asking questions of those immediate sources (we don't even know if they are truly eye-witnesses...) Proper journalism is a complex thing requiring a lo

I'm not sure I should admit this, but I was fired from a job (while I was in college) in rather similar fashion. I don't think it's even that unusual. Think about it. The boss KNOWS this guy is making fun of him in a very public way. He's c

So absolutely not true. I've been at this awhile, and have had my fair share of success (and failure as well). The idea that you have to go, go, go to the detriment of your social life is just silly. It's part of the myth of the startup, no

Yet we had tremendous trouble hiring a solid developer (Denver/Boulder) a month and a half ago. We had a bunch of applications from the barely qualifieds, but it seems that those with a strong skill-set are still in demand. Hell, I still ge

More confusing is that this guy is claiming that his alimony payments are more than 2/3 of his take-home income. I think he meant child-support.

I'll substitute that with a (better) metric: 100+ million users have utilized code that I've written.

Amazon provides a host of support services (Cloudfront CDN anyone??) that are trivial to manage from an existing EBS volume. The extra services that Amazon offers really make the process of going from zero to scale much simpler (albeit not

It's also rather comical that the author seems to think the iPhone was the first to target the high-end market. Nokia's had a whole series of Series 60 phones targetted directly at the same market (N80/N95 spring to mind). Those things wher

Android phones have capable versions of both (Amazon for music and their own app-store). If Google continues to evolve the Android software and focus on further refining the experience... your going to see it overtake the iPhone rather quic

Since they where in contact with the app author and asked him to make a remedy to the issue (tagging it with 'unofficial version') they have effectively defended the trademark. Defense of trademark doesn't mean you have to prevent others fr

I launched my career at Acxiom... it's a fascinating company that deals in HUGE database problems. It's also terrifying to know just how much information they have, and how aggressive they are in using it.

As to what is "fair" that's between you and the founders. You do need to be ready for some serious shock come tax time if you do take on additional equity. Equity (from the IRS perspective) is income, and is taxed as such. If the valuation

There is a delicious irony in your post. GS whole reason for being is open and honest discussion about products and services. Throughout their marketing materials they talk about how airing things out in a public way is better than doing it

I'm currently at my third. Even if it was placeholder content it had been on the site for more than a week, on every single non-paying customers page. That's not something that just slips by. This isn't a typo in the terms of service, it's

Except that other folks on the web would have no idea this was going on. A private e-mail likely results in a private response (changing the wording on 37signals's get satisfaction page). A public exposure gets things changed... as it did.

This brings to mind a really interesting story. I had the chance to work with a guy who had just sold his business. It turns out that early on (about a year into it) someone came along and offered to buy the whole business for $1 million do
