Does he pay a bonus? Seems low. I would leave - he doesn't deserve good people around him and apparently doesn't need someone as good as you say you are - otherwise he wouldn't take such a big risk with such a small bit of money from his point of view.

And yes I would just tell him "In order for me to stay here, I need X Y and Z."

Just be humble and matter of fact. If you think you deserve equity but the cap table can't support it, ask for the equivalent in bonus. However it sounds like you want an ownership stake at some level based on the level of input you give.

It's hard to start something from nothing and maybe he doesn't value you as an entrepreneur spirit and thinks you are a happy wage slave, and is just testing you spirit here. If you are that important to his growth, and you are willing to walk away - things might change very fast. Or perhaps you work a cog really well, need lots of org support around you to function and don't think that well on your own - and that is why he is toying with you. Or he's just a stupid founder, but if he's that successful, probably not.

this sounds utopian. but if you didn't need the money would you go thru the hassle of sharing your car or house? the only reason people do it is to recover money because they didn't make enough to cover their lifestyle. others make it a business, renting multiple apartments in walkups and sell on airbnb creating private mini hotels. i do not know one person that has a savings and or a decent salary that would let a stranger into their home, or drive a stranger to a destination because they just love to share what they have and participate. they do it because they are fucked or close to it.

the concept of the timeshare vacation rental is closer to reality of what you speak about. shared leases, mortgages, etc etc.

a startup that divides the credit potential of multiple people into a mortgage would be a real sharing, and be able to purchase into it for a time period.

i know i need to raise a family and need a 3 bedroom house for X time. Can I effectively purchase someones mortgage for 18 years at a premium on the base apr?

i know someone that pays the homeless to wait on line for him.

It's fascinating how scientology was formed out of Hubbard stealing his wife, scamming him out of money... and then his ex wife and hubbard founded scientology - using a bastardized version of Thelema as a means to control and bilk money out of 'thin' personalities that are looking for help and validation. Quite a use of the occult!

Very cool - thank you. The method of thought I agree is definitely more than buzzwords. Problem is movements that use it and have no idea what improvement actually looks like. These lean movements happening now are ridic.

I'm not talking about build quality perse - its the process of removing constraints to the end product to maximize efficiency while maintaining or improving quality. German cars are fantastic I agree. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Toyota_Way

Yah, when I get my hands muddy playing in the dirt, a few wipes with a paper towel and I'm set for the day!!

It is also funny to the original that asked if japanese can essentially do "Lean".

Umm, Lean is just a copy of the Toyota Way that has been infected with american/euro values.

Constant improvement is Japanese. Americans use it to drive the cost low in order to maximize profits, japanese use it to maximize quality in order to maximize profits.

Are you and your partner equal partners? Can you do more stuff on the biz side? product management/dev side? He's prob right, you shouldnt be coding enterprise level delivery with hackery crappy code. Be of service elsewhere or it will be a pain in the ass.

Silly post. Facebook is a business. Just like in Costco, you don't get free samples forever. At some point you need to buy the bagel bites to get full at home.

LOL such denial. Your friend just likes to get wasted and doesn't want to really stop. He would just like the consequences to stop while still being able to get wasted at his own accord.

it does explicitly say god as you understand him - but i do know what you mean. its a shame that get's in the way for you tho, as there are alot of tools in there that if put to use - does provide alot of relief - alot more than drugs and alcohol provide.

it's good that aa uses the 'god as you understand him' which most people just use that as meaning 'something outside yourself'. its a way to have a consciousness shift and perception change away from negative self talk and see reality as it is not as you interpret it. it can be religious for some, it can just be 'the great unknown' for others. really makes no difference. just that theres something other than your own mind telling you the answers in your head with great authority. its really just a mind trick/hack to get out of a thought loop that leads to harm.

Being powerless over alcohol is similar to saying your powerless over a nuclear bomb going off next to you. You have the power not to pick up the first one. Once you start it sometimes can be really hard to stop, and admitting that is the key to not starting. And for most drunks theres no point in drinking one or two drinks anyway. the point is oblivion.

drinking is just a symptom - real problem is between your ears. you drink to quiet it. until you find a replacement you are fucked. you can't just 'stop'. maybe for a few days or weeks or months, but the consequences of your drinking won't really change.

NIBURU!

this is the stupidest post ever. this post should be called some ideas cant be captured by some wireframing methodologies and tools, who are used by people who are dumb.

So you adblockers who think the internet should go back to 1994, never use Google? I think the article is spot on. Advertising does and has always supported media distribution technologies since we had media distribution. Today that technology is the web and mobile web, and it is a distributed technology. Either micropaymetns with a bitcoin like tech will be embedded in the browser for you to be ad free, or view ads will be a future choice. Dodging the means people use to generate revenue - is just naive.

don't agree. your edge case is very edge. most 'guests' of people in nyc are out of town friends/family that highly respect and treat the place as their own. airbnb people are not incentivized to treat it like their own unless they are that kind of person. they will litter in the hall ways, make loud noise, etc etc.

They are mostly going after the dealers of the unauth streams collecting ad revenue around it. It's MEGA again.
