It's kind of funny seeing this on a day when three traditional news outlets are screwing the pooch on the whole Craig Wright/Satoshi debacle.

Netflix doesn't "own" House of Cards. Media Rights Capital "owns" House of Cards, Netflix distributes the show. Even then MRC's rights are probably limited because they bought the rights to the concept from the

im not comparing Segway to Theranos but to Magic Leap which even has a very similar founder story and may find its niche much slimmer then investors thought.

Segway then?

I'd imagine most of them start that way. Most startups go without a formal partnership agreement or incorporation until they need it (like being funded). Look at the winklevosses and facebook

It doesn't matter who creates it, any IP created while he's a "founder" he owns a share in.

I hate the formality of contracts, but is there any good procedure early on for avoiding this in the future? It seems every billion dollar company has a "secret" cofounder that shows up when the money does. Yes get a lawyer invo

I'll be really surprised if this doesn't turn into a class action lawsuit. I'd grab the popcorn on that one too, interesting legal questions.

A few things. 1. Kevin you may want to block out your address in the attached letter. 2. I'm missing the part where this amount is tied directly to the creation of this application and this application only. From my read this is a T&am

A few notes on items I find a bit strange here. 1. To get from the East Bay to SF in the carpool lane you need 2 passengers (3 people total - or a car that only seats two) 2. The East Bay already has a pretty nice system for this called the

Its too bad a valid point regarding creativity and art and its value to software products is hidden under a layer of crap about machines coding for you....

There are packages which roll these up. Lodash is popular. But there's a philosophy and mindset in JS which is relatively unique to other languages which is to optimize for download size to the browser (noting in another comment, tree

In the previous thread some associated "Boom" with "Something blowing up" which wasn't perceived as a great name for a plane.

This only "kind of" works for dependencies which you explicitly include in your project. My understanding of the left-pad issue was that it was frequently down the dependency tree where dev's themselves could not remove the d

Its also not just closing a single deal but also creating the relationship for the next X deals. (Note: I'm sure parent understands this.)

Funny I had assumed that Boom was the name of the "airline" but on second look the name seems to be both an airline and the name of the plane? Or is the 5k just a price point for selling the plane? Now I'm confused what these

It just doesn't work this way, the bad code stays there. I read this differently. I didn't feel the author is saying the code is bad or "fast and dirty" to be cleaned up later so much as limited in features. Do limite

Not CNet, ZDNet (Ziff-Davis) and TechTV (Which started life as ZDTV). Worked there can attest ;-) A lot of the Adobe Stuff including the Macromedia divisions when they were alive are still immediately next door or across the street. I thin

When it comes to these types of tools I think you need to figure out a target market. There's a lot of folks taking on the large scale software space, however I think the non-technical space is still a bit wide open. I think a new Base

Assuming a limited number of design and engineering resources I think the article makes a sensible argument (though, really poorly written) that it would have made more business sense to prioritize those resources on getting a more mass mar
