How do IT people act like in big companies?
Ask Slashdot: Do I Give IT a Login On Our Dept. Server?
http://ask.slashdot.org/story/11/04/18/1538251/Ask-Slashdot-Do-I-Give-IT-a-Login-On-Our-Dept-Server

Ok, I got to ask this question to you guys since you guys seems reasonable enough to give an honest opinion. The above question was asked on Slashdot. The question is ok but the comments to the question is what get's me. I've never worked for a big company - always small ones and creating startups so I never had to deal with a "real" IT bureaucracy. If a problem needs to be solved, we figure out ways to solve them!

How different is this in big companies? Sure there's policy and things like that but from reading the comments, 90% of the people are basically saying "FIRE HIM" or "You're lucky you didn't get fired!". This doesn't make sense to me. I would thing the nice thing to do talk to him about different solutions to find a workable solution. That seems to be the most reasonable thing to do.

Why in the world do these guys sound so angry? Doesn't this anger basically kill any enterprenureship inside the company? If the first sign is to fire someone who happens to bring a computer to fufill a need that (probably) isn't being fufilled, won't that discourage everyone else from trying new stuff?

From the sounds of the IT people on Slashdot, if it takes 2 years or so to impliment something innovative, so be it! Of course, as we all know as enterprenures, by that time, the idea would probably be taken over by us.

Is this really how IT companies work in big organizations?

Ask HN: How many hours do you work per week?
I have always been very curious about how many hours typical startup founders work in a week, as well as what constitutes "work".

I'm a sophomore in college bootstrapping my startup with a co-founder, and it's now summer vacation, so I work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week -- with 1 day off in which I don't do anything startup-related.

"Work" for me includes planning stuff, coding, email, investigating startups, reading "how to" articles on blogs, viewing slideshows on my industry, even reading TechCrunch and listening to interviews on Mixergy (I try to minimize those, but I treat them as part of the necessary learning process in building a startup).

What about you? How many hours do you spend every week building your startup, what do you do (provide a breakdown if possible)?

Ask HN: When is the time to walk away from a startup?
I've spent the last six months or so working for a startup with little to no funding. I'm getting paid (not much) and it was fun for a while, but financial worries are eating me up (I make just enough to last 30 days and then I need that next check).

From a technical standpoint, it's a nightmare - this development model isn't Agile or Waterfall, it's all apparently a whim and guesswork and it's making me insane.

I'm not sure I'll be mentally stable if I stay, but then again, I'd be walking away from six months of work with nothing to show for it thanks to the NDA.

Thoughts?

Ask HN: Daily Fantasy Sports Hacking?
This is throw-away acct. for this question.
I am conducting early-stage due-diligence on founding a DFS (Daily Fantasy Sports) start-up.
The sector & growth projections are very compelling.
The business will be bootstrapped & I will not have huge $ to compete w/ FanDuel, DraftKings, etc.
Question: What would a new & "entrepreneurial" DFS site need to provide that perhaps the big guys are missing--& what's optimum plan to 1st 1000 users?
Many of us choose not to eat/drink/watch games at the huge franchised sports bars & instead go to our local joint. I want to build the local joint of DFS--all insights truly appreciated.
Ask HN: How should employees judge startup founders?
I've been working in the industry for about a year now, but since I'm self-taught, I don't really have a big network to fall back on. Given that, how would you suggest trying to judge the qualifications of the founders of a startup? They seem like nice people, but their profiles are pretty thin and it's hard to tell if they're just talking a good game. They previously worked together on a startup that sold to a major company for about $35M - does that seem like a reasonable indicator that they have some sense of what they're doing?
Ask HN: Open-source E2E encrypted video conferencing tool
Dear HN folks,

We are looking for an end-to-end encrypted video conferencing tool. Do you know of any?
Currently we rely on our own meet.jit.si and Nextcloud Talk instances, but I would consider WebRTC to not be end-to-end encrypted, relying on DTLS and SRTP -> TLS and shared keys.
When searching and researching online, only proprietary solutions pop up or 1-1 video chat tools, which support end-to-end encryption like e.g. Signal.

I understand that end-to-end encryption introduces quite some overhead for a data hungry and latency dependent systems like video conferencing, but we would happily accept the suffering of the video quality in exchange of more security.

Looking forward to your input!

How to get my Android app ported to iPhone?
My partner and I have a webapp with a pretty good Android client. Problem is, we're Java developers and don't really do the Objective-C stuff. I know most of the iPhone development $$$ is spent on things like design, art, etc, but we've got all that. Does anyone know of a lower-cost solution that can basically duplicate our work, re-using the same URLs/JSON APIs for the app, just on the iPhone platform?
Ask HN: Contract-less Contract work 
I'm just finishing college, and have landed my first big contracting job. However, I don't have a clue what to do about contracts. Both my current job and the previous one were based only on an email agreement. These jobs so far have worked out fine (waiting on my first check from my new job later this week). Then I listened to Mike Monteiro on the pipeline [1] and in 'Fuck you, Pay me' [2] and I'm really worried.

I have a few questions:

1. Do I need a contract? It's obviously a good thing, but is it necessary? how strong (socially/legally) is an understood agreement?

2. Where can I get a contract written? Do I need to have my own lawyer? I'm making pretty good money, but I'm just starting out, and I don't have much to go with -- is there some semi-standard contract that I can just use (with slight modifications)?

3. I'm out in a fairly startup-barren place (Milwaukee) -- should I get a lawyer here, or try to find a freelance/startup lawyer somewhere else?

Thanks for any any and all advice.

Technically Garble is possible. But can it ever take off? I think I've been wasting my time.

What other technology companies, hardware and software, are you buying right now?

Ask HN: Why don't we optimize for stability?
Have you ever noticed how much time you spend quitting Safari or Firefox? Just exiting the program. Sometimes it's immediately, sometimes it's 20 minutes, at least 50% of the time it's `kill -9 motherfucker.app`

Why? Let me throw down the gauntlet, I'll pay $10k tomorrow for an Apple web browser that will never fucking crash on me.

There must be a market of people, just like me, who are fed up with browsers, mail clients, and basically all desktop software because it's so unreliable and who are more than happy to pay a premium, even an outrageous premium, to stop screwing around with software and get back to our real work.

Tomorrow I could (theoretically) go out and spend $10k on a hand-crafted work of art guitar from a luthier, or $200k for a mostly handcrafted precision automobile. For $100k I can go into space, but for no amount of money can I buy software that doesn't make me want to throw my computer into the swimming pool.

Will we ever see a boutique market of consumer software that's written with stability and quality in mind? I don't care that my web browser can clean up my neighbor's dogshit and tell me which AS number the website I'm looking at is on (21844, by the way), I just want to get my work done.

I'm not really interested in why Firefox, Safari, and Chrome all suck. I know why, it's because all software sucks. I'm a consumer willing to pay money, lots of it, for a browser that doesn't suck. Build it and sell it to me.
Ask HN: Continue startup or pursue Aerospace Engineering?
It's all in the title, but, here's some background: I've recently co-founded a growing and successful software startup. I'm completely self-educated except for the time spent in high school and have had a desire for some time to pursue Aerospace Engineering... It would take a lot of community college commitment before I can meet the prerequisites to enter a 4 year (or more) institution.

I've got cold feet because this startup is doing well and my trajectory looks very good - throwing college into the mix could only amplify the stress. Some of my thoughts were to take only one or two classes a semester, but considering I have about three years of fulltime community college before I can get to a 4 year, that thought doesn't sound so fun.

So, I suppose I'm asking for some admonition (options? non-matriculating?) and comfort because ultimately making money will win over going to school as it is what pays the bills and is already making me passive income. But I am afraid of getting lost in that "settled down" track (if I'm building a startup I suppose I shouldn't be afraid of that).

Meh, mostly just thinking out loud - any input is appreciated, particularly from those HN'ers that have matriculated through an Aerospace degree or are in the industry!
