This still is refusing to consider the marginal case, which is what the OP was asking about. At some point, even if asked the first time, a boss might refuse a $100 raise. They would still take the $100 for equity deal.

The point was just a thought experiment to show that equity has more than 0 value.
True. TVs are a good match for Product Chart. Got them on my ToDo list!

Overly cynical. The two times I worked for a startup more than 3 months I got paid out for my equity. 2 for 2.

The problem is not equity, the problem is picking the right startup.

Everyone I know that has got rich has done so via equity.
>And yet it happens.

I can understand that argument. It's an edge case, and building a sane Dockerfile on top of Alpine that runs applications through S6 (or runit), which developers use for their applications is the way to go for me. This is what phusion baked in?

>The SSH server is incredibly useful [...] (although it's not really necessary anymore with docker exec).

It's an additional attack vector and, by your own admission, it's useless. docker exec has been baked into docker for over a year.

>Or just run [cron] in-container to keep your service clusters together.

Per-container cron sounds painful. Then you have to deal with keeping every container's system time in sync with the host (yes, they can deviate). Not only that, if you have a periodic cron job that runs an app to update some database value, scaling becomes bottlenecked and race conditions (and data races) can get introduced. You are prevented from running multiple instances of one application to alleviate load because the container has the side-effect of running some scheduled job. Cron should be separate.

One can also choose the degree to which they want to throw out good practices that prevent them from repeating others' mistakes.
When packaging up various npm components, BusyBox was recommended to me as a great solution for creating containers with a low overhead -- I eventually stumbled across Alpine (which is built on top of BusyBox) and have been really happy.

Alpine has a tiny footprint, which is great for wrapping Node.js which itself is tiny; But wait, there's more, Alpine has a great package-manager similar to apt, called apk -- this is what sold me on it over BusyBox.
That paragraph was in reference to zeroing out your velocity before re-entry. The Falcon 9, iiuc, uses a combination of thrust and aerodynamic forces to slow itself down / put itself on the correct trajectory.

It's also worth noting that they only land the first stage, there's an entire next stage which isn't reusable which adds further speed to achieve full orbital velocity.
You bring up a good and interesting point.

From what I've seen, startups almost always pay less than market, but they make up for it in four different ways:

1. Quality of life and work: employees at startups get to touch more things, work on more exciting projects, eat free food, play ping pong, be a part of a tight-knit culture, etc. A lot of people highly value this, and I don't blame them!

2. Employees mistakenly overestimating the value of their options, their probability of success, and the uniqueness of the startup culture.

3. Related to both #1 and #2, hiring employees that don't care about money and/or haven't taken finance 101.

4. Related to #1, #2, and #3: hiring employees that are so excited about the startup that they don't care about the deal they're getting.

I've NEVER seen a good engineer get a better offer at a startup than he/she would've gotten at a large company, but it's certainly possible.
I love that they built the CPU out oo too, leveraging something js is actually pretty good at to build a really clean human-readable core.

Maybe so, but snarky pre-emptive dismissals are worse. Please don't post unsubstantive comments to HN.
I like the idea of having your data and services untethered from a specific provider, but I could see a system like this generalized to support any hosting situation, and not just a dedicated home server. My ideal system:

* Minimal effort install to a local machine as well as any of the major cloud providers, and some sort of architecture to easily add more providers.

* Clear separation of system/apps and data

* ability to easily backup and migrate data from one installation to another

* Commercial providers that specifically provide setup, hosting, and support for this solution

With these features, you could choose your level of privacy and effort, and be assured that you will have a sustainable system in the future, even when you're working 12 hour days during that crunch and have no time to mess with your personal cloud.
In my experience, the STEM people are eager to learn and I've mentored several.

OTOH the people that get my goat are the data scientists who only know single-threaded python code and rely on hadoop for parallel execution who insist on trampling CUDA code with race conditions and tons of within-warp branching and then complain to me that GPUs are not as good as they were told.
Probably more a warning against pre-mature optimization.

If you can eliminate all ; in most, or even all, circumstances in otherwise C-like syntax, what do you gain?

And most of the savings you see there are from having greater levels of abstraction available.

Assembly = arithmetic. You have to explicitly state each step, and on its own there's no understanding of what you're operating on, they're all bits (numbers).

C++ (ok, more C) = algebra. You have a bit more understanding of your structure, better names and concepts behind things (types = units, for instance). You're still operating on bits, but now most of those bits have a specifically, language encoded, meaning.

Haskell = calculus. Not only are your bits typed, so are your functions (ok, technically also typed in C and kin syntaxes, but not usually as useful) and you can pass them around and modify them.

EDIT:

I'm more picking on the class of syntax available.

When you include semantics OO languages offer a great deal more expressive power than most procedural languages. Probably should've just had C and not C++, but it is what I wrote.

More generally what I should have written was towards language classes: assembly (as most primitive procedural language), structured procedural languages (C, Go, Algol, Ada, etc.), OO languages (Java, C++, Smalltalk, etc.) and functional languages (lisps, Haskell, ML-family, etc.).

But then you have to break it down further. OO is not inherently more or less expressive than functional languages, it depends on the feature set of the OO and functional languages. Smalltalk is very expressive, easily comparable to the more expressive functional languages. Java, as it used to be, not familiar with developments post adding generics so I'm really rusty on it, was not so expressive. So a comparison between Smalltalk and Common Lisp would put them on a similar level of abstraction. But Common Lisp versus Java (again, with my outdated knowledge), Common Lisp is at a higher level of abstraction (both syntactically and semantically).
It's useful to make the distinction between structural hierarchies and social ones (and useful to be really skeptical of the zeitgeisty posts that don't differentiate between the two).

So flatten your company structure however you like, there will be a social hierarchy in place as well because these are Humans we are talking about. The people who have interesting things to say about this will talk about how this is the real power of a flat structure, that the social hierarchy is much more dynamic and re-arranges itself on demand and multiple context dependent hierarchies will exist all inter-relating. Your static and slow to adapt org-chart hierarchy just gets in the way.

Of course there are a lot of cons as well as the pros, you will get cliques, introverts, regardless of ability, will be disadvantaged, these subconscious social hierarchy building behaviours incorporate all those ugly human prejudices we know are maladaptive, etc.

But overall I find it a really interesting argument.

I tend to surround myself with people who are just open an honest for the most part and aren't prone to being super sarcastic, same reason. Some things I just plain don't mind being direct about - "I really like you" when said sincerely seems rare enough in the world that it can be a really good compliment, and its easy for me to say as well. A social group with layers upon layers of snark just isn't much for me.

The guy I'm dating now pretty much shares the same mindset and it works great for us - we call each other super dorky because we just tell each other sincere platitudes without a hint of sarcasm, or when we are sarcastic we're hugely over the top about it.

I get what you mean about having to go back over and over. The social anxiety it causes when people won't be relatively direct can really hurt. Best bet for me was to keep looking for people who are relatively like me (I found a group super early on in the furry fandom - there's a VERY high percentage of spectrum folks there and some of the smartest kindest best people I've ever met come from it (and its frankly one of the best professional networks to have in tech - they're everywhere)). I'd recommend checking out a subculture of some sort that you're interested in.
>Employees don't cash out some of their holding at $3/share expecting a bigger IPO lift. Both angry because nobody came from the future to tell them, hey this is the best offer you are ever going to get for this stock, take it.

Quoting from the article:

>Employees had little idea that an outside appraisal firm had valued Good at $434 million and the common stock at about 88 cents a share as of June 30, according to investor documents and legal filings.

It just sounds to me like the greed on management's side trumped anything the employees may have had.

Thanks for your story. I was part of a startup which sold as well. One employee was left with a tax burden to pay off, and I broke out even ($0 from sale, no tax). The founder took home money though......

I think it's important that people hear these stories when deciding what their personal reasons are for joining a company.

That's not what that document says. iMessage has a design flaw (which is pretty obvious if you think about how it works) that allows it to theoretically be backdoored. In other words, they made a trade-off between usability and security, and (in my opinion, and clearly yours) fucked up. That's very different from saying that they deliberately built a backdoor into the system, and I think that some of the things they've done (like explicitly noting when someone else has been added to your iCloud account, and will be able to decrypt upcoming iMessage messages) goes to some length to mitigate those issues, and make clear that the existing design is more incompetence than malice.

That said, all Apple would have to do to fix this is to allow advanced users to see all keys listed as authorized for their account. I'm getting increasingly annoyed Apple hasn't done that.

Actually by that time it was all employee purchase program (EPP) stock. You could put up to 10% of your post-tax income into a plan that every 6 months would buy stock at either 85% of the market price, or the 'lock in' price, which ever was lower, and the lock in price was set the first time you started the program, held for 2 years and then reset each 2 years after that.

> What would your advice be to people who hold most

Diversify. Especially if you are continually getting more of that stock (like RSUs or other options vesting). That is hard if you're not public and there isn't a secondary market.

A lot of people I knew in the dot com boom sold their stock and bought houses. That converted a fluctuating value asset into something they could live in regardless of its "value". They looked like geniuses in 2001. When we sold the company I had helped start I took a chunk of the proceeds and put it into a separate account to help my kids college education. (it wasn't a 529 but simply a named account that my financial planner helped set up).

Doesn't have to be fancy, putting proceeds into and S&P500 ETF is simple, low cost, and the S&P 500 has out performed a lot of single company stocks. (and underperformed some to be honest but you are trading future value against risk).
Quality of recorded music today has much more to do with mastering than bit rates and codecs. I certainly would prefer a 128 kbps version of a twenty year old mastering than a 192 kbps version of the modern remaster.

That has led to a consumer revolt of sorts, for people who care about audio. That's not a large enough group to make a difference to the big record companies, but it is large enough that catering to them is a good business model in itself.

If you're providing an all-in-one solution like that, it sounds like you would be better served by just providing an OVF image to them.

Or better yet, keep 6 distinct containers like you should, and use docker-compose to spin them up together. Makes upgrades easier because you can simply point to a newer version of whatever service containers you're using without having to take out everything.

If you're using containers as a VM, you're essentially adding overhead for no good reason.

Meta: Reading this thread is a refreshing change from the other ongoing thread about Good Inc which is full of bitter diatribes about how horrible startups are for everybody. I've been working in startups pretty much all my working life and now am a founder of one. Some were successful some were not. The successes added non-life changing but still non-trivial amount of cushion to my bank account that allowed me to leave my full time job and work on my own startup while taking minimal cash compensation from the company funds.

The fact is, the time I spent in a non-startup was nowhere near as exciting and fun as the years I spent in various startups, even the failed ones. And the successful ones were lucrative enough for me (none of which I was even in the first 50 employees) to affect some life decisions. Just one person's anecdata here but I started my engineering career 15 years ago and I read the overly cynical, bitter postings with a sense of amazement. My experience doesn't support any of it.

Show HN: Codebattle – game for coders
Hi all,
my team and I develop a platform for in-browser programming lessons in the real dev environment. It's like Codecademy, but on steroids (real docker containers, web IDE, root access, etc; more info here https://en.hexlet.io/).

As a side project, we've created a game for coders called Codebattle. Pick a language, create a game, when opponent joins — you're both given a problem to solve. You can see each other's code in real time. Whoever solves the problem first wins. There are also spectators and a chat.

This is still an early beta, any feedback is greatly appreciated. Languages available at the moment: Clojure, Java, Ruby, Javascript, Python, PHP, Erlang.
