I found this a pretty interesting and useful way to look at this. One additional factor I would love to see: situations where one person is coming on a "late" cofounder (e.g. a basic product has already been made, e.g. with outsourced Easte

I'm not sure whether or not your wife is working, but how do you manage your time with her and that relationship? Is it just shared time that you spend with your daughter in the evening (since you usually go back to work after your daughter

If you allow OpenID, users can choose an openid provider that has a hardware authentication option, like Verisign. Most won't, but it at least is an easy way to provide this option.

Nice, but why not allow integration with common authentication devices available, such as SecurID? I don't want to end up with 5 or 6 of different authentication devices.

To an extent I think you're right and some people will do it regardless. On the other hand, smoothly flowing traffic creates an incentive to not zoom ahead in the merge lane. There's less of a feeling of a need to cut ahead and people don't

Interesting, my instinct has always been to try to "punish" the cheaters by preventing them from merging in, thinking that this would discourage this behavior. But I can't really stop this, and the article provides a good explanation for wh

You can actually be sued for anything . Whether or not you can win is another matter, and it's difficult to recover legal costs for a frivolous lawsuit. The lawyer is probably just hoping for a settlement.

At what point does a casual conversation become illegal collusion? Unfortunately, the law provides no clear definition, just as there's no clear point at which competitive behavior become "anti-competitive." I'm not sure I'd agree with th

How do you determine "verifiably female?" What if you have a "female" with high levels of androgens? Do you just say if you are 2 standard deviations within the mean of females you are verifiably female? Which is the cutoff?

I completely agree with you. I would easily spend 5 or 10 cents to read an interesting article, multiple times per day, especially a well written article from the New York Times or Wall Street Journal.

The one thing that all of these GB comparisons never take into account is actual performance (which is admittedly harder to measure). I've experimented with about 4 different dedicated virtual server type hosts (none of which was EC2), and

An 8 digit, all numerals password? Really, Mitnick? It's not super secure, but it really should be secure enough if a website cares about security -- they should be limiting login attempts, and shouldn't be storing them in plain text.

This is an interesting idea. The obvious question is how do you measure activity -- this is one of the things that often causes disagreements (e.g. different cofounders all thinking that they contributed the most).

I agree. Working at home also gives you the opportunity to use a full size keyboard, use multiple (or large) monitors, and more. And you save tons on the price of coffee (and can often have even better coffee once you learn how). This works

That electricity cost is based on a single location. My electricity is 12.5cents per KWH, regardless of time of day. That turns into about 3 cents per mile, rather than 1 cent per mile quoted in this article.

No, actually, the livejournal account is literally "cyxymu". The word is best written as Sukhumi (the Georgian city), but the cnet article refers to the "account name" and so is completely accurate.
