For people just looking for a git client on Macs, I've been using GitUp for the past couple month's and it's amazing.

- In-app git implementation for all operations; does not use the git command line at all

- Lightning fast* (*for reasonably sized repos; it's not yet optimized for super large repos)

- Simple yet powerful UI -- treats git as a graph and let's you operate on that graph.

- Commit graph visualization that's actually useful (IMO)

I used to use mostly the command line with fallback to magit in emacs; now I almost exclusively use GitUp.

Obviously I'm still in the honeymoon/fanboy phase, but I really feel like it deserves to be better-known. Check it out!

You're leaving out the really large "taking care of family" block.

That includes "taking care of elderly" as well as "taking care of kids". Especially the "taking care of elderly" is putting a very large drain on resources that is simply going to get worse and worse as the boomers age.
Nope.

The Bay Area is home to some major tech employers (Google, Apple, Oracle, Cisco, Salesforce, Intel, etc), and is also a major outpost for other big names (Microsoft, Samsung, Sony, etc). There are also a number of major employers in high-compensation jobs (finance, bio-tech, law). Even among startups, there is a big difference between a scrappy little company of three folks and a company like Uber.

Bottom line: there is lots of money floating around the Bay Area. As much as we might like to believe otherwise, the amount in small start-ups is just not that much.
Being acquihired by the startup is much better than being early employees of same startup
Australian academics seek to challenge 'web of avarice' in scientific publishing
The same places that are startup hot spots are also full of even more people drawing big paychecks from Google, Facebook, Apple, and a horde of other no-longer-startups. That's probably exerting an even greater influence on real estate and rental prices.

Yeah, but Israel is also tiny and can still kick the ass of everyone else in the Middle East. Similar to Israel, Singapore has a lot going for it with respect to modern warfare that makes up for its population and landmass deficit. I agree that total invasion is probably very unlikely in the foreseeable immediate future.
Welcome to web development!
The thing about giving equity is how do you walk away? Suppose in a year you want to quit that project, move, and work on something else. Is your friend going to try to claim part of your new company? Second, living with and starting a company with someone who is a friend is a good way to lose that friendship. If you just have no other option or cash then maybe it is a good deal for you, but at least try to negotiate and impose conditions like vesting or buyout clauses that meet your needs.
Much of the palm oil crop is used as surfactants in the cleaning industry too... Some of the biggest users are the multinational cleaning conglomerates (P&G, Kao Corp., J&J, Unilever). The problem extends far beyond replacing trans fats.
The typical founders spend maybe 6 months building a prototype on nights and weekends, then another six months full time without any pay, and then another six months at least at minimum wage. And then they usually never get beyond that, and are just out all those hundreds of thousands of dollars they would have otherwise earned.

As an early startup employee you might only get 1% as much equity as the founders, but you're also only taking 1% as much risk unless you're working for vastly less than market rates.
I would go for an iPhone purely because Apple seem to be taking privacy more seriously. Google learns everything about you and I am not okay with that.
I was a lowly engineer at a huge company with a huge product. It had one product manager whose job was to come up with product features, about a dozen engineers and a tech lead. The product manager was a nice guy, but we (the engineers) consistently used to come up with better, simpler and useful ideas/UI for the product all the time - this was without any of us talking to any of our customers while the PM constantly used to ask/receive feedback from customers (sometimes our ideas would be shot down, only to be accepted in the next release).

My boss (tech lead) was making a pittance compared to the PM - without my boss the product would literally come to a standstill. The inequality/unfairness of it all was just sad.

I don't see this changing anytime in the near future.
But even if you choose a successful lab, what are the chances to get rich of royalties ? higher than 5% ?

The <input type="image"> isn't just an image, it actually inputs data too. It tells the server the coordinates on the image where your click occurred.

Everybody seems to think they are just for decorating submit buttons, but that's not true - their primary purpose is telling those coordinates of the click!
It's an average over all forests in the US not just the ones that burned this year.
Recruiting younger persons carries also more risk. It is very common, almost universal for younger people to earn less than older people, also their value to the organization is less well defined.

Also I would like to say that it makes sense as a young employee to focus on salary, but I'm not really sure of that.

We're more focused on website creation as opposed to being a payments company. The fee will be dropped to 5% as soon as we make sure we won't lose money on hosting fees.

Soon we'll have more squarespace-like features on the website creation side of things and will likely charge for features along those lines ( monthly hosting plans ), while dropping our fees per sales to equal cost ( as suggested by another user in this thread ).
Imagine what Steve Jobs would have done if someone "poached" three key engineers from the iPhone team before it shipped.
Retrospect is fun;

When Transmeta unveiled their new CPU, it was the first
time in a long time that a company that was not Intel
finally admitted that if you're a CPU, and you want a
zillion people to buy you, you gotta run x86 code. This
after Hitachi, Motorola, IBM, MIPS, National
Semiconductor, and who knows how many other companies
deceived themselves into thinking that they had the
right to invent a new instruction set.

Then along came ARM.
What? No?

CVS is a version control system. We kept (a copy of ) the source in the laptop.

The actual system we developed was running in machines guarded by hordes of sysadmins grumped up to the proper level, possibly even employed by IBM.
> It's disappointing to me to see so much disparity between the compensation for C-level and VP-level versus engineering. Without engineering, there would be no product to sell and nothing for investors to invest in. Ideas are nice, but implementation is hard.

It's exactly what you'd expect when programmers are willing to sell their birthright for lentil stew.

Frankly, most C-level executives at a small startups are glorified secretaries taking care of the paperwork for the people who provide most of the actual value. They get paid more because they've played the social game well enough to persuade engineers to work for them instead of the other way around.
Thanks, that is a good suggestion. Changed.
Here in NYC where there are restaurants on every corner, one of the best ways to figure out which restaurants are the best to eat at is to look at the menus. If they have a lot of choice they'll probably attract people and be able to stay in business even if their food is mediocre. But if they only have 6-8 items on the menu, you know that menu is filled with 6-8 delicious items, because they couldn't stay in business any other way.

When the market's large enough, you can get by by offering so many options that a bunch of people naturally take you up on some of them enough to maintain a profit, or you can offer a small selection of very quality items that continually please. I know which one I prefer.
Reminds me of a post by Sam Altman: http://blog.samaltman.com/employee-equity
you're being unnecessarily literal- we can use variable values for "perfect", most of which are clearly better than the system explained in the article.

but, if we must be so literal, i'd say you're not using your imagination. you think a literally perfect architecture is impossible? some systems are very small, you know.

that all said- they never even concretely suggested one existed in the first place. you could infer a hypothetical from their post.
I wonder if it's looking old versus actually being old? If you look like you're in your 20s but are 40 (low body fat, not many wrinkles) maybe you won't be stigmatized against as much. I'm just curious about whether it's the appearance that matters, or the number.
I wish... I'm only 35 and I've had to change deoderant 4 times due to my preferred brand and scent disappearing. Toothpaste is a bit better with it only having happened twice.
There's also a lot of overseas money being invested in real estate, driving up the prices. The same is happening in Seattle.
No, but there are 30 other forests regrowing in that year which absorb the same amount of carbon as the one forest that burns.

I cannot express how annoyed i am by the sentiment in this thread that every app must serve the needs of every person. Plex is a media library first and foremost. "I don't want a media library" is not a valid criticism of a media library app.

Huh, I've seen consistent material over at Zero Hedge[1] indicating that since 2007 the cohort that has made the most job gains is over the age of 55.

"...while the elderly workers in the US have risen by a whopping 7.4 million since the start of the Depression in December 2007, workers aged 25-54 are down 4 million!"

As shown in this chart:

If there's a person here with a good handle on how the WSJ article and the noted Zero Hedge article relate to one another, I'd be very interested in your perspective.

Sore loser Airbnb floods San Francisco with a passive-aggressive ad campaign
This is infuriating.

My mother is 58. Her lower spinal column was collapsed, and she's had it reconstructed using titanium plates and screws during a 6 hour surgery. She has been denied for disability by the Social Security Administration twice, and currently has to wait ~500 days for her next appeal (https://www.ssa.gov/appeals/DataSets/01_NetStat_Report.html) in front of an panel of judges (this backlog is caused by Congress providing insufficient funding to process said backlog).

How the hell are people who don't need disability getting approved, and the people who don't need it are stuck in purgatory?
Take the case of Instagram, they hired several Android Engineers. They added 1 million new users on the 1st day the app was released.
This article doesn't really delve into the percentage of the population that "doesn't look, but still wants a job". This population is the most important one as far as generational wealth and health is concerned; retiring and disabled boomers are to be expected.

Part of this is an intentional misrepresentation of the employment numbers. In order to be counted as "unemployed" you must first have had stable "employment". Thus, people just out of high school or college that are unable to find their first job (which is often extremely hard to come by) are not counted as unemployed, despite being so. The other problem is that after unemployment benefits expire, people aren't counted as unemployed anymore, so the unemployment stat goes down, but the percentage not in the labor force goes up.

Employment indicators U3/U6 are remarkably poor for depicting gainful employment in the wake of economic depressions; they're meant to measure unemployment that is expected to be transient. Super long-term unemployment, difficulty finding a first job, and underemployment are not adequately measured, though the part-time employment stat is somewhat taken into account.
Try spacemacs. https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/

It's an emacs configuration meant to be a hybrid of the best in emacs and vim. I'm a vim user of several years, and am just beginning to do some clojure development of my own, so I recently made the switch.

There's definitely a learning curve, but it's much, much less involved then learning either emacs or vim on their own. And you get to keep the vim editing style.

A couple of things to get used to:

- Space for the leader (it's actually great).

- Escape mostly stops things, but not always. Ctrl-g is a safer option.

- q closes many popup windows.

- Using lisp to do everything in the config file (.spacemacs)

The docs are a good place to start. Also C-h will bring up an extensive help menu.

You'll want to add the clojure layer to your .spacemacs, as one of the dotspacemacs-configuration-layers.
totally my bad! I forgot to check the date. I just happen to stumble upon this article yesterday!
go ask for more money. today.
> Medical

Yes. There is plenty of work that can be done by a nurse that doesn't need to be done by a doctor. It seems silly that someone gets sent to school for over a decade to talk to me about whether I can take a drug to bring back the spark in my relationship.

> Law

Yes. There are plenty of routine legal procedures that should be allowed to be performed by someone that doesn't have to go through the costly process of going through law school (routine divorce comes to mind)

> Architecture

Don't know much about architecture :-/

Didn't mean to be passive aggressive. So for that I apologize.
Huh. Well written. I've been a founder and not a startup employee, and I found myself paying attention.
Well quit! The first time I did I was really underpaid and was asking for a 30% increase for a year, after the notice I got a 3x salary increase proposal (which I ditched because of assholiness)

Now I am happily employed at a place that pays a very nice salary and I love my job, win win!
In my experience startups typically pay more than other well established organizations, at least for Design/front-end roles. Agencies and Enterprise is typically where the low wages come from.

This doesn't factor in Silicon Valley. SV is an entirely different animal. The cost of living there throws the math way off. I can imagine that those wages are typically very low. $200k in SV is comparable to $70k in most other cities. This is why it's beneficial to work remotely for a SV startup and live somewhere more desirable.

I think we're conflating all startups with SV, which shouldn't be the case. Certainly folks joining SV startups IN SV are being taken for a ride.
Atom sucks but I found Visual Studio Code extremely stable and ok when it comes to performances, even on my low end computer.

I think it's the issue of the fact that they're selling so many different brands of products across so many different product lines (from fryers to washing machines to routers to laptops). So building the optimal sorting algorithm becomes an exercise for each and every line, and also involves standardizing the fields you receive from a variety of different manufacturers and distributors.

Certainly not an easy game, and definitely a tedious one. I know I'd hate to be on the team tasked with figuring that one out.
Of course there is no way you can prove exclusive control, you can always let someone else impersonate you. A blockchain is not going to solve that.
First Magic Leap demo without special effects
Based on the info you gave here, I'd highly recommend you get some courage together today, and see your boss/major decision maker, tell them:
"I am discontent with my current remuneration. I feel I'm not being paid what I'm worth to the company. What can you do about it?"

If they don't offer you a significant raise with 24 hours, start applying for other jobs.
CISA Moves Forward: These 83 Senators Just Voted to Expand Surveillance
I think I get the point, but I really had to work to keep reading it. The tone is relatively difficult to want to absorb without already being wholeheartedly on board with the premise.

The main problem I have is that it troubles me to feel a sense of agreement when the rhetoric is so emotionally manipulative, because parsimoniously, I've been manipulated into the agreement.
It's fair to note there's a significant amount of risk in hiring recent grads, because largely they aren't great at actual engineering, just coding.
> Employees take the most risk today. Not the investors or the founders — it’s the employees.

I agree that in many places employees should be given more options and better compensation. I also agree that many founders don't realize how large the opportunity cost for talented people can be. But I also think that statement is categorically false.

Most founders I know work for several months (or years) for zero pay, and then pay themselves the minimum amount possible while the company is growing. The founders have opportunity cost too, and if the company fails they get nothing, too. Using the superlative that employees are taking the most risk is often simply not true.
You don't with certainty, you make informed guesses (just like employees do with options). Vesting solves this problem, though, most people get 1 year cliffs which is effectively a 12 month window to make sure the person works out.
He is calling something out as unfair, and your response is that more people should be unfair?
The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long. The problem with 4 years is that they'll be significantly stronger and smarter than us.
Yeah, I know about compound interest. Truly.

What I was trying to say is money can mostly be made up even if you don't strike it rich. Same amount of money? Maybe not. But enough to have the same order lifestyle as you would otherwise? Definitely. I was trying to allude to this by referencing other professions where they don't really start until their 30s.

Consider also that you seem you think of money as something that you accrue strictly as a function of time. If you are doing retirement planning strictly based on your 401k, then you probably aren't planning that well. Lots of things that worked for our parents won't pan out well for us. Ask non-STEM majors looking for jobs in the past decade.

Anyway, starting a startup solely to get in the game/get rich is a losing proposition modulo how connected you are.

My point was the negatives, as a founder, are probably constrained to monetary ones. Which at the end of the day isn't that bad of a deal. It's just money. Which makes it a very well leveraged bet IMO.
That's one thing I really liked about the first Honda Insight (lightweight two-seater hatchback hybrid - looks like a space egg). Picked one up last year for dirt cheap because I have a long commute. Got 70 mpg (mostly freeway). Great thing was I could also work on it pretty easily. Even worked fine without the hybrid system (they're all old enough where the batteries are crapping out) So sad when another car totaled it.

I graduated four years ago, and am currently in grad school.

As an undergraduate at a small private college, I can only recall two professors who required their own books. One was a paperback physics reader for a very large class, available from the department for $20 (or from upperclassmen for less). The other was for a small math class, was not unreasonably expensive, but also was not very good, but when the professor left halfway through the semester with health problems, the department bought us all copies of the new book. My professors were always accommodating to anyone who wanted to buy an older edition, and in one case explicitly told us not to buy the expensive new edition.

In my current department at a large public university, I know of only one professor who requires his own book. It's about $40 and has only had one edition since it was published 15 years ago. In most lower division classes we use an in-house online homework system, although we don't have a good database of problems for differential equations, so we've typically required the latest edition of Boyce and DiPrima so students can use the publisher's homework system. But we've started work on our own problem sets, and we are at the point where we can use our own in-house homework system for it, if the professor is willing to put in a bit more effort organizing and debugging homework.

Anyway, this sort of exploitation is not typical in my experience.
