Get good sleep and drink water.

Two of the simplest pieces of advice that can go a really long way for your mental and physical health.
This was answered a lot already, but I'll go into a little more detail. They eat both.

Pollen = Protein

Nectar/Honey = Carbohydrates

Just like most other living animals they need both to survive.

Honeycomb holding Pollen -- the multicolored cells are pollen, actually something called "bee bread" if you need a keyword to read more about it.

This image shows a comb with pollen in the bottom left, uncapped honey/nectar in the central area. This uncapped nectar has too much water in it still and will ferment, and capped honey in the top right section. This capped area is true honey that has been dehydrated enough to not ferment and spoil.

> A successful sports team should hire the best, even if that's what everyone else is trying to do too.

Yes, but sports teams recognize "the best" is dependent on the other pieces in the organization. Teams that try to stack their rosters with "the best" in objective measure typically crash and burn. Teams that recognize "the best" is whomever fits the team's scheme and current players the best succeed. Too many software companies want the first sense instead of the second.

Let's not forget what that the majority of that ton would be: sugar. Both addictive and extremely dangerous in large quantities, thereby negating all the hypothetical benefits on using cannabis for pain management in the first place.

Quiver – A Dropbox-like cloud storage platform with file protection features
This might be the most honest thing Trump has ever said:

> I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular.
Quiver is a startup developing a cloud storage platform, similar to Dropbox with additional protection and tracking over file usage. Quiver allows a user to share a file with other users and enforce various protections on it, such as a validation expiry date, read-only, geolocation based usage, etc...

> IDEA is a high-quality, well-supported professional-feeling product. In comparison, eclipse looks, smells, and acts like a kludgy, bloated, long-lived open source project.

Proprietary, closed source development vs. Open Source software development in a nutshell.

I'm really glad a friend recommended IntelliJ IDEA to me. It's a great product. Having used both Netbeans and Eclipse on a rather powerful machine, the UI would lag. I don't like to wait for computers to finish computing things when I'm programming pretty much in just a text editor ("writing code mode")...which brings up another point - Atom is not a great text editor either because it is so UI laggy it slows down development.

The mainQueue thing is because the catch-all exception handler is in the event loop, not the runloop. So if you throw during event handling (mouse down, key down) you'll hit it, but if it's something else (GCD, timers) you won't. It's extremely weird.

Good call about reportException:. Although I personally prefer to just avoid NSAssert. The good old C assert() gets the job done well for me.
The state protects wealth. Being born now in the west is like joining a game of monopoly two hours in. All the squares are owned. Round you go.

As we get more efficient less human labour is needed for a finite amount of land/resources. If inequality is high most valuable land is owned by a few people.

The rest of us must pledge ever more labour for the right to subsist.

The rich are very much relying on the state to keep order as inequality rockets. Guess what would happen if we had no police force to enforce collection of taxes primarily from the middle classes? Or nobody to stop someone calling into question why they can't stand in a particular spot "because that land has been owned by my family for generations".

The rich very much rely on the state.

This is academic crypto research involving one of the most important names in this part of the field (Eran Tromer is one of the people who invented microarchitectural side channel attacks).

I don't know that it's typical for research like this to comprehensively evaluate targets that aren't relevant to the research. Regardless, here we have an attack on the ECDSA k-nonce. People who use Curve25519 don't even use ECDSA; they use Ed25519's deterministic Schnorr-style signatures. It's not even the same signature construction.

So what you're asking of the authors seems a bit like the authors of the DROWN paper explaining that their RSA padding oracle attack doesn't work if you instead use DH key agreement.

During sleep is also when your body prepares fat / food to convert into blood sugar.

You literally get tired at the end of the day, when you run out of energy that's easily convertible to blood sugar, so your blood sugar levels start dropping, making you tired.

If you don't get enough sleep at night, your body doesn't have enough time to prep your food / fat for conversion into blood sugar. As a result, your blood sugar starts dropping way too early in the day.

Since your blood sugar is dropping too far, but its too early to go to sleep, your body looks for other solutions, basically: "Get your blood sugar up now!" So you feel a desire to eat, and often, foods your body associates with either high amounts of calories and simple sugars.

Hence, munchies. And weight gain.

Indeed.

Another thing I see a lot (and you can see it in another answer to this question, further down) is people (mostly SV) referring to jobs as adventures. And more generally putting work on a pedestal and conflating work with life.

I mean I suppose in theory whatever floats your boats, call it an adventure, but to me an adventure would be going canoeing in Belize with (outside-of-work) friends. Show me a job that encourages and enables employees to do that and I will show you a job actually worth putting on a pedestal. 97 additional facebook notifications per day is not a selling point.

>This article completely ignores the other paradigm, that if you don't have a job, it's up to you to make yourself valuable to employers.

A job is something people need to live and have shelter. It's not only the most "valuable" people that should have that.
Yup, always make sure the incentives are aligned. Unfortunately this is a pretty unique situation. For startups the usual is to angle for an IPO, or failing that go for an acquisition. This shared goal and payoff event naturally aligns the interests of employees and management.

For your situation, you'd definitely need your own lawyer to review the documents. Perhaps you can get the company's lawyer to add those terms in though, to save some initial cash? I'd go for one of the following:

* Required stock buyback when you leave at 2-4x the current value, or based on the last 409A valuation if that is higher. They should be doing that once a year for legal reasons, if they do any equity or stock option grants.

* Minimum yearly dividend to be paid to all shareholders based on a % of revenue (not profit). This one is nice because it's egalitarian. Building it into revenue protects you, and they can just consider it a cost-of-doing-business overhead.

* [in addition to the above] Have them come up with a set compensation plan that applies equally to everyone (including them) based on role, years with the company, and level of expertise (junior, normal, senior). This should be public internally, and there should be no bonuses or additional compensation beyond what it specifies. The plan can be re-evaluated wholistically based on runway left and revenue milestones, but it'd be good to note down what those milestones are ahead of time. Unfortunately you probably can't get that in a contract, but it'd show a lot of trust and goodwill on management's part if they implement it as part of company policy.

Honestly this situation sounds a bit tricky if you don't have a strong history with these guys, or they don't have a track record of building a small business that pays dividends or otherwise compensates equity holding employees. A worse case for you is no liquidity event or dividends, but management pulls money out of the company for bonuses for themselves.

That being said, this could be a great opportunity for you. Forget the SV big or bust mentality, there's a lot of pluses to working at a stable slower growing business. Less pressure, more flexibility with your time, a closer knit team that won't double every year or two.

Best of luck mate!

Thank you for jumping in with this, because I completely agree that a list of advantages AND disadvantages, collected by people with both sets of preferences is more useful than a list of advantages written by the marketing manager of the product (although that is still quite useful).

That being said, as someone who uses IntelliJ frequently, I wanted to respond to a couple of your points:

> No obvious way to search within a directory

In the "project" pane (the place where it shows the folder structure of your files) just right-click on any folder and select "Find in Path" (Ctrl-Shift-F). Definitely an important feature, I use this all the time.

> I can't tell how to reorganize the UI.

You solved this yourself. ("aha, there's a weird square in the very bottom left corner...")

> No save button means I can't tell the IDE when not to try to compile [...] compiling it is going to take a few seconds of sluggishness

Interesting. My experience has been that the compiling just takes up background, low priority threads and doesn't interfere with my work -- I don't even notice it getting behind. I have never tried it with Scala code (which does a LOT more during the compile phase) so maybe it's more noticeable when doing that.

> continuous building simply isn't reliable enough [...] (e.g. after renaming a class it won't necessarily complete the rebuild...)

Curious. I never seem to encounter problems like this. I wonder why. Does the ability to trigger a make when you want it mitigate this somewhat?
People gotta start somewhere:p
Yes, this is for show. I've seen a number of HN posts say things like "But they wouldn't dare co-operate in secret, think of the snafu -- someone would leak it!"

...

when that "someone" inside a big tech company is making 6 figure salaries and living comfortably and potential legal destruction from publicising even further "secret cooperation"

Money talks, no one wants to be a martyr.
How would that attack work? The key isn't resident; it's derived in part from the passcode. The target can't do any useful work with the key that could leak through side channels, because it doesn't have the key.

Don't get addicted to fundraising.

Fundraising is a chore for most founders, but some find it more interesting than working on their startup. The work at an early stage startup often consists of unglamorous schleps. Whereas fundraising, when it's going well, can be quite the opposite. Instead of sitting in your grubby apartment listening to users complain about bugs in your software, you're being offered millions of dollars by famous investors over lunch at a nice restaurant. [26]

The danger of fundraising is particularly acute for people who are good at it. It's always fun to work on something you're good at. If you're one of these people, beware. Fundraising is not what will make your company successful. Listening to users complain about bugs in your software is what will make you successful. And the big danger of getting addicted to fundraising is not merely that you'll spend too long on it or raise too much money. It's that you'll start to think of yourself as being already successful, and lose your taste for the schleps you need to undertake to actually be successful. Startups can be destroyed by this.

When I see a startup with young founders that is fabulously successful at fundraising, I mentally decrease my estimate of the probability that they'll succeed. The press may be writing about them as if they'd been anointed as the next Google, but I'm thinking "this is going to end badly."

"

So if this is the case, I urge this startup to talk more about its roadmap and execution, rather than (only) how much money they raised in 96 seconds. Which itself is a good achievement that we should rightfully praise.

EDIT: I've tried to delete the parent post.

As stated several times over the years, particularly on HN and by patio11 (edit: or was it Joel on Software? Perhaps both?), work for a profit center not a cost center. The internal software to run insurance companies is a cost center. It is in managements interest to reduce and keep costs down... that's detrimental to what you do. Working on a software product or Saas is a profit center. What you are making is to be sold. It's an asset. An asset management wants to make as valuable and profitable as possible so they are willing to invest in it. That works to your favor if you're developing that asset.
