Cardeck1on The Glass Bicycle

The biggest problem with Google Glass is privacy.Anyone can record you without you knowing it. And it's not just walking down the street. There are so many bad scenarios. Usually we embrace new tech here but this device would bring privacy to a whole new level. Not to mention that Google is starting to be too powerful for our own good.

Cardeck1on Apple applies for iWatch patent

Wait a minute.So if I am working on a similar product, I will be sued by Apple?That is ridiculous.Probably they will call it their IDEA now.Total CRAP.

Cardeck1on Ask HN: Where do you get ideas to build side-projects?

Put an email address so people can contact you.Thanks.

Cardeck1on Zuckerberg Dilemma: I do the programming, but the guy w/ the idea gets 50%

@Matthew No offence but it's because of people like you, non technical people are hated.And no, i am not an idea man.

There is a damn difference between someone who throws an idea at you and walks away for a couple of months until you finish and someone who has a really a good idea yet he is totally dedicated and working side-by-side with you for the product to work, also willing to learn anything in order to help the company grow.

Why do you complain about the percentage?You want 100% or 120%?Come on!If he is not dedicated at all you don't work with him otherwise don't complain.Not to mention that you want to take the idea and walk away with it!So this is not a shitty idea then.Yet again, you want more and more %.

You need to understand that the execution of the idea is definitely important but if you don't have it, there is nothing to execute, ok?The road is idea>execution>business not execution>idea>business etc.So no (great) idea = no execution, no execution = no business.Either way, you must have an idea to start with.Besides, we don't know the real story.Maybe he asks for 50% so you don't eff him up later on and you showed us you are capable of many things.I wouldn't work with you if you ask me. You're money driven not passion driven.

There is no "Zuckerberg Dilemma".Mark stole the idea and improved it in time.

Cardeck1on Ask HN: What do you wish your non-technical co-founders knew how to do?

Why would you do that?You are a non-technical co-founder.You have other priorities.You just need a basic understanding of how things work but you don't need to dive into the technical realm.

I am a developer but even I have to admit that some or must of us are too cocky these days, thinking we can do everything by ourselves.That is pure crap.Most devs fail to have a huge impact in the industry as entrepreneurs.That's where you guys come in.Don't think you are useless.You need both parts to make it work.

Contrary to the popular belief a non-tech can be a breaker in a company if he is "that type of guy" with an excellent, CLEAR vision.Yet those are rare indeed.
