> How can something's "market rate" be non-profitable for the producer?

You are confusing 'making a living' with making something. Even if a driver only nets $3.37/hour, that is still 'profit'. Just not enough to feed/house/etc yourself if it's your primary source of income.


There is a 5 user minimum for Google Apps for Work Unlimited.


My big problem with Chrome tabs is that over time, they start consuming all of my CPU resources and I have to go in and kill a bunch of 'Chrome Renderer' processes to get the load back down to a reasonable level.

This also happens if Chrome crashes / I quit or force-quit out of Chrome and then restart. I don't really want it to open however many tabs I had open, I just want to be able to see what tabs were open. I would be happy with it creating the tabs with the title at the top but not loading it. Short of that, One-Tab is a decent way to help with this issue.


> We think it’s a rather significant hole in a strong authentication system if a user still has some form of “password” that is sufficient to take over full control of his account.

I don't really understand this sentence...they say that Google (post-fix) no longer enables access to security-specific pages unless you do two factor auth, so doesn't that mean that post-fix you cannot fully take over someone's Google account without two factor auth?


I think the "still" was meant to refer to "after the addition of the 2nd factor to the auth process" rather than "after the fix to the vulnerability described here".

It's making the case that this does represent a "real" vulnerability, even if certain aspects of the behavior were understood and expected by the system designers.


Yeah after re-reading I think you are correct. And yes, I certainly agree that it was a real vulnerability!


Yeah, I kept reading down to see where he would clarify that by 'web-first' he meant 'mobile-web-first' but that doesn't seem to be the case.

The tools for building mobile web apps aren't as good as they should (and hopefully will soon) be but it's certainly possible and gives you the flexibility to rapidly iterate, get the user up-and-running as fast as possible, etc.


Numbers for an iTunes single: Best case is generally an indie artist who has a 50/50 split with their label. So for an iTunes single, the label gets at most $0.70 (and if they use an aggregator then say $0.63). Divide by two and you are at $0.32-0.35/track. So basically you need to divide all of your equivalence numbers by 3. Instead of 300 plays, it's one hundred plays. 3 times a day for ~30 days or once a day for one hundred days.


OLCG: "For example, you may want to split a div with a "span8" class into three. However, 8 is not cleanly divisible by three."

Kickstrap has implemented One Line CSS Grid for this case which could just as easily be handled by making the row fluid with three span4s. Or am I missing something?


Nope, you're not missing anything. row-fluid resets the grid, allowing you to pretty much arbitrarily dice up your columns however you want.


No, she claims she is covered under fair use because she doesn't make any money from it, blah blah blah.


No, she claims she is covered under fair use because she doesn't make any money from it, blah blah blah.

Plus, her claim of being a lawyer makes the whole matter quite baffling.


Actually, there have been fair use decisions when an entire work was used non-commercially:

I'm not saying that's the case here, but whether the use was commercial or not is one of the four factors considered when deciding fair use.


I don't think "commercial" requires you to "make money" from the use. I think using the photo as an illustration on your business website qualifies as "commercial" even if you can't show that it brought you any business. (Of course, IANAL.)


There are different degrees "commercial." It's not a binary distinction.


When you say "we all came in under founders common stock", you mean that you WILL all have founders common stock once the incorporation papers are signed, yes? You said above that they weren't signed yet?

Founders should always have vesting. It is going to permanently screw up your company if this guy has some large percentage of the company and isn't a part of its success. Plus the rest of you should have vesting anyway in case another founder doesn't work out for whatever reason. Everyone should ALWAYS have vesting.

So my advice is that, if you haven't yet signed the papers, you should go back and put vesting on all of the founder's shares, including his, of course.
