jev can ask jev if they should return investor money and shut down jev

You probably just need to lower your MTU if your phone is getting an ip6 address.

> ... or how it's supposed to make any programmer worth their weight in salt 10x better.

It doesn't. The only people I've seen claim such speedups are either not generally fluent in programming or stand to benefit financially from reinforcing this meme.

Are you doing development? Is it just you two? What are they doing during this time, aside from having originally provided capital? Are they smart money? Do you need them aside from their money? Do they have connections, a network, or something else compelling they bring to the table? If you're sure you're going to raise a seed you could give them a larger cut of that "not too far away" as you said.

To answer your questions more directly:

  > 1. Is it reasonable for a Technical Founder to take a Median HCOL salary (due to strict financial constraints) while the Non-technical Founder takes €0?
  > 2. Does the "Fairness" argument (matching salaries) trump the "Runway" argument (survival) in early-stage startups?
  > 3. Did they waive the right to claim "unfairness" by joining the partnership with full prior knowledge of this asymmetry?

There is no "right" and "wrong" way. There is no "fair". It's whatever you can swing. You are partners, and if you want to keep it together you need to avoid building resentment, but it's also a business, and you need to bet on yourself. The "fairness" obsession is naive and it's exactly what slippery MBAs like to foist over devs who are zoomed in too much to value their time properly.

What's stopping you from getting a job and doing this part-time on your own, retaining all equity?

This is cool, but we'd be naive to think the other side is not also learning from this operation. The "gotcha" questions that foiled them at the end will likely make it into their playbook for next go around, and these attacks are going to be more sophisticated.

> What Id love is a journaling file system.

Same; that would really improve the remote router scenario. I've had a router refuse to boot up after a power outage until I manually ran a disk check. I'd like to at least be able to force start-up no matter what, but journaling is the proper fix.

Always have your own attorney look over paperwork. In what country are you?

It doesn't sound like you want to pursue it, but you could make a case that you signed under duress. Not knowing any specifics about your situation, personally, I would focus on moving on to the next thing.

How was your equity "revoked"?

On their tech support page [1], Google Fi is said to be resistant/immune to SIM swap attacks because the attacker needs physical access to your device and Google account. Yet earlier this year [2], the Google Fi hack said to have exposed Fi users to SIM swapping. Can anyone shed light on how this can happen without someone having your phone?

The ultimate filter is: do not visit the website. It comes down to the cost of having the freedom to do the filtering yourself vs. outsourcing that effort to a company sharing (some of) your values.

The latter locks you in since you are in no position to change the company's mind.

We have one: the internet.

Reminds me of the 'Human Heater' pitch from the Silicon Valley show [1]

I'm waiting for hardware support for my particular laptop model, added in this release.

You could consider implementing a generic 'throwaway' account that anyone can use, since these are not expected to have continuity of discussion or identity. Or, this could be a flag on accounts or sessions.

It doesn't have to be all-or-nothing. See redis, mongo.

The Ad space has developed an elaborate set of acronyms and jargon (CPC, CPM, ..) precisely because advertisers care to track such things to determine how effectively they are budgeting.

You start with no tracking, then two months later we get another blog post explaining how you still haven't recouped your time investment and now need to do "just a tiny bit of anonymous reporting". This power creep is what turns people off.

Some suggestions that may see future attempts better received:

1. Try it on a repo with more substance. There were many comments about this project being a light wrapper around eslint config. It may be popular in GitHub stars, but intuition tells me the type of dev who installs a dependency to generate a JSON file is not the type to want to pay for anything; they're looking for a quick `npm install free-solution` for everything.

2. Don't focus on ads, specifically. Anecdotally, devs I know are very sensitive to ads/privacy, much more so than to paying money. Despite your good intentions, your ads will involve analytics/tracking, which you ultimately can't control.

3. Your various posts and web profiles eagerly mention how many downloads you have. The numbers are great. But, it comes across as your primary focus. Here's a test you can use to see if you are truly creating value: stop pushing code. When people start begging for updates, I suspect you will have more success with git bounties than ads.

> If they are running this thing like a startup on MongoDB (seriously?)

Do you base this on recent info (latest versions w/ Jepsen tests)? If so, what specifically makes Mongo a "startup" db?

Take a second to reflect on what you're actually saying:

> "I requested this feature X years ago. (Also, I'm not doing the work of actually writing any code, but it must be super easy to implement, here's some pseudocode. You're welcome.)"

Your implementation is useless; anyone can hand-wave and scribble something on a napkin over their lunch break. It's the details that surface the complexity.

Either way, it's moot. It's not like they can't figure out a for-loop on their own. It's about portioning dev resources for "your favorite feature" and justifying the maintenance cost of this feature later on.

You are not asking for Open Source™. You are being Openly Selfish™

Prediction: I believe eventually MS will kill Atom or let development languish. People will complain that "MS is evil" and "look who they were in the past" and so on, but devs will go where the features are.

VS Code is one of the finest examples of open source Done Right™, and while it owes something to Atom and Electron, this is pure open source darwinism.

> Musk Ordered a 'Cream of Mushroom' Soup for Lunch Today. Is it Signaling the End of Tesla?

Shameful editorial.

I keep seeing this sentiment in similar threads (i.e. Cloudflare, Twitter, etc...). Gab has a right to free speech and association. Does Coinbase not enjoy the same right?

Until a service becomes so widespread and essential as to be declared a public good/utility, this looks like 'business is business' IMO.

His tweet says, in part

> "... Tom has a point, we should let creators say "no thanks" and be auto-excluded. Users may already auto-exclude unverified sites/channels. We will work on this."

This makes your interpretation disingenuous, or uncharitable at best.
