Ask HN: Fired from a company I loved- seeking advice
As the title describes, I was fired from a company I loved and am seeking advice on where to go in life and career.

Background:
I joined a late stage startup that I absolutely loved 3 months ago in a sales/business development role. I immediately fell in love with the team and the culture there and piled myself into the team and in my role.

I quickly performed well in my job so my problem didn't arise there... In my final month in August I managed to pull 60% of my small team's results as well as literally 100% of the final results in a higher priority campaign.

Unfortunately, it seems that my downfall came from being too eager/open/stupid in challenging some ideas from one of the founders. I had the idea that it's fine to challenge the status quo or to challenge ideas for the sake of coming out with a better idea in the end. Perhaps this isn't how people on the receiving end felt when I debated (read: argued) with them about the right decisions to make. I truly thought I was doing what was in the interest of growing the company but in the end I guess I failed in recognizing the damage I was causing.

It's like a bad break up- I was in love and now it's gone.

I'm now at a point where I need to figure out what to do with my life next. Should I figure something out for myself? Should I go travel and explore a bit (may be hard with student loan burden)? Should I jump immediately into my next job?

Any comments or suggestions?

There's no reason why it can't work differently, as mentioned elsewhere, but it would require alot of change in the way these businesses are ran in the U.S. and there's not that much incentive. Most likely the end result would be the same as far as service goes.

From having lived in both the U.S. and Australia, my feeling isn't so much that tipping is the reason why the service is better. I've had excellent service in some places in Australia and lousy service in places in the U.S. My feeling is that the management makes a point of emphasizing customer service more in the U.S. than in other places (even in businesses that don't have tips), and this is true across the board. Increased competition in the U.S. is some of it, and just plain cultural attitude is alot.
Really that's kind of a matter of what "choice" is, but without getting too deep into that discussion, my observation has been that it's driven more by a toxic culture than anything else. I was a minimum wage and food service worker until quite recently, and having worked with many different people that's been my observation. A lot of people "stuck" in that position have been so indoctrined in their own victimhood that they get caught in a negative loop of ruining their own lives and blaming everyone and everything else around them for it. And some of them just plain don't give a shit. And there are some others who manage to get past it, and they're the ones who often manage to make things better for themselves and end up around lower-middle class. Certainly not great, but it's a huge difference. But in my opinion our coddling and infatalizing people isn't really helping the underlying cultural problem, it's making it worse by creating its own kind of privilege, which is basically a freedom from most forms of responsibility aside from having to obey the law.
This happens to more startups than you can imagine. I have been severely stolen from and defrauded of shares by a startup in North Carolina. They did it to several employees and investors and remain impossible to gain contact with even while appearing on podcasts with people like Randi Zuckerberg. Getting walled out of a business even with lawyers looking over documentation due to lies and deceit is a sickening feeling.
Wow, hard to believe but I'll take your word for it. The only thing I can guess is he traded salary for a quick decision?

Even if you interview somewhere the next day, it usually takes a week to get an offer and 2 weeks for the company to get its paperwork straight. Let alone counting the amount of time it takes to find someone actually hiring.
'request an invite' is setting yourself up to fail to start with. Much like what happened with Ello, it catches your attention, I'm reading this article, I'm aware of it but if I have to request an invite and wait 3 days I'll have forgotten all about it by then and won't be interested anymore!

TV is a know vector of change. It educates, empowers women and a lot of other thing.

It does not require the ability to read and write to use.

It's free once you have the device, a device that lasts 40 years.

The internet on the other hand so far has been shit at helping the poor. Expensive. Breaks. Is hard to use.

Point is, this is using unused TV bandwidth, in a way that might be more efficient that other ways, although I'd be surprised if this was true.
Right, but that money might be better spent other ways—for instance, by selling them twice as many tickets, in the hopes of retaining more audience members, some of whom may one day become high-rolling donors.

If you're looking for a contact weed killer, you're interested in only killing some perennials and if your seed has been genetically engineered to be Roundup resistant then it's a top choice. That's virtually all soybeans but still a minority of corn and no wheat or alfalfa.

I'm old enough to have been running a fertilizer plant here in Michigan when Roundup was first introduced back in the seventies. The cost was 4x what it is now and it was mainly used as a quackgrass killer back then.
I've never met anyone from somaliland. But, aforementioned friends from Mogadishu say that the situation is completely different there.

The crux of the issue in Mogadishu, as they describe it, is that many basic things which we rely upon in the US just don't exist. E.g. when something gets set on fire, it literally just burns to the ground because there's no fire department to come save yo shit.

My guess is that in the absence of government, large cities would be terrifying. I've not heard of a large city without government before though.

I was disappointed to find that it didn't mention the greatest Russian Hamlet, which was the 1964 black and white movie version directed by Grigori Kozintsev (1). This used a translation by Boris Pasternak.

It won a lot of awards at the time, and the cinemaphotography is wonderful, but it's probably much too dated for modern tastes...

This makes much more sense as a model for educational texts compared to what most do now IMO.
Buy a book called '48 laws of power', internalize the results, and the next time see that you stay and the founder who disliked you gets the boot. That won't be easy of course, which is why you need to develop strategy.
Searching Google will get you the answer but here are a few tips to start.

The dream is to write a book and sell millions of copies. Nice but not likely. Niche is nice but it's hard to figure out which is profitable. Write the book for the joy of the project don't expect to be inundated with cash or get any cash for that matter.

Even if you can get a book contract from a publisher, they take most of the cash and you see some money only once all the expenses are covered.

If the subject is additive for your career and expertise then do it with out question. It's always good when you can bring it up to add to your credibility.

Set the tone of the book. Who is your ideal reader? Research your audience they will tell you what they need.

If you're the expert and you're teaching novices then make sure you don't write above what they understand. The book's goal is to teach not have to buy another book to understand what you just told them.

Experts are usually bad teachers. As an expert you forget the basics that got you to understand what you know. You'll need to get someone else to tell you what's not understandable.

Create an outline, and refined it with your potential reader helping you.

Once you have the outline start writing. You'll want to write a few thousand pages. Write whatever comes to mind. The outline will help you. What you want is to have enough to edit it to a point that's clear enough to teach and you'll need to cut it down to a few hundred pages. It's easier to have independent editing and writing sessions. Avoid doing both at the same time. Your writing will be more difficult and take longer. You'll have to be your own editor.

Once you have a finished manuscript. You can get the technical procedure on how to convert it to the different book formats by using Google. Also you'll need to learn how to promote it. Good luck with that, that's a whole other rat hole.

I would get it to a point where you have a printed copy. You can give copies away and have a copy to look at yourself. It will be something you'll be proud to display.

Lastly, don't use a word processor until you think you have a final copy. You'll waste so much time fiddling with the different word processor's options that it's just not worth it. Text editors are your friend.

Not every tax has to be progressive. It's enough to make the whole tax system progressive to achieve overall progressiveness. (Tautologically..)

Income taxes or even refunds or a basic income can fix that up.

VAT is mostly flat.

(I am in favour of taxing land by value for most or even all government expenditure. That's highly progressive, impossible to evade, and does not distort the economy at all: land's supply is fixed.)
Brutal mistake, it sounds like their product probably actually works in this case too but they just can't follow the rules.

How are they going to evade VAT or a land value tax?
You understand the point of warnings is for action to be taken to hopefully prevent a further problem, right?

If we are not rational. If we are, fundamentally, something other than rational.

That is, if rationality is optional, to be put aside when it doesn't suit us.

Or if rationality is an expression of an underlying form, like a glove over a hand.

Then, if we want to address a person, to influence him or whatever, then we would do well to address that fundamental form and not that optional, superficial expression.
Would that not just encourage your average user to click through the security warnings and ignore them, potentially numbing them to other more important warnings?

Is changing the pricing scheme the only solution here? Maybe part of the opera's goal is to appeal to a broader range of demographics, or any other reason they aren't trying to maximize profits. It would be nice if they could make a good living for themselves and still keep tickets affordable for everyone. There must be a way to maintain a discrepancy between what people are willing to pay and what people have to pay, where the opera can meet their non-monetary goals while reducing this third party arbitrage.
I disagree completely. For one thing, many McDs employees in countries with a higher minimum wage also have a better attitude, but there are also standout employees at McDs in the U.S. The issue isn't just that the workers at higher minimum wage places are paid more, it's that they are better employees because the managers there can't afford to hire a mediocre one (especially since it's harder to fire them), so they get good employees and train them. And the instances where I've had really good service from McDs in the U.S. are often cases where there's an economic downturn and you have alot of overqualified people taking that job as it's better than nothing.

Service in any restaurant is more a function of the kinds of employees you can attract (through wages) and the amount of training the manager puts into their staff. Tipping is only important in that it allows some restaurants to pay a fairly decent amount of money to attract higher quality workers for only a couple of nights when a straight wage would require a larger time commitment to get the same amount of money. However, a (necessarily higher) straight wage would also allow more workers the opportunity to make a decent full time living as a waiter or bartender, which means you could have really good servers even on less busy nights of the week, but fewer servers on the busiest nights as there's less flexibility in hiring and firing.
Keep in mind that media outlets are unlikely to point out the fact that antibiotic resistance is mainly caused by antibiotic overuse on farms for livestock (due to the conflict of interest when so many ad dollars come from food).

Yes, humans failing to finish their run for the time prescribed for them, and use of antibiotics for viral infections have been a problem too. But those are completely dwarfed by farm use.

Funding for new antibiotic research should come from taxes on big agribusiness and there should be more regulation on antibiotic use for livestock.
Most major (non-embedded, I suppose) OSes have some framework for periodically updating the certificate store. It's not necessarily a full redeployment of the OS.

Mac OS and Windows both are capable of receiving new root certs via the OS update process. Apple says it updates certs approximately once per quarter:

https://www.apple.com/certificateauthority/ca_program.html

I think there is a pretty strong argument for treating a bad CA like a zero-day vulnerability and "fixing" the problem through a security update that un-trusts the cert. However, to date neither Apple nor Microsoft have been especially aggressive in this regard.

Google has taken a somewhat freer hand towards badly-behaved CAs, but they really only control Android: Chrome uses the OS's trust store, rather than its own (as Firefox does). They could presumably change this, and I'm sometimes unsure why they don't, but I guess it has to do with enterprise-environment interoperability. At some point if Chrome were to become the dominant browser, such that they could dictate terms to enterprise customers rather than the other way around (or if web apps really did take over the world to the point where the keystore outside your browser is essentially irrelevant; cf. Chromebooks), maybe they would reconsider this decision...

Human testes are much larger than one would expect in a truly monogamous primate[1].

The term itself is sort of ridiculous as well, since most advocates for it want a $15 an hour minimum wage, which is nearly twice what I lived on for quite a while, and is far above the median purchasing power amongst all people. And to be blunt, most of the people I worked with for less than $8 an hour were barely worth what they were being payed then. At $15 an hour there is just no way they would be able to find enough employment
I find the poor spelling offensive
Frankly, I don't see any reason why Google isn't right here. This "vulnerability" can only be exploited by appending another one, fishing. It's reasonable to say, "If AB is a vulnerability only if B is a vulnerability, then A is not a vulnerability". That you can't solve fishing [as a service owner, without also owning the browser] is unfortunate but irrelevant.

I find it strange that the same tipping norms exist in Canada as in the US, since, if I'm not mistaken, Canadian waitstaff are paid at least minimum wage. In the US, the fact that waiters are paid less than minimum wage and expected to make it up on tips is often cited to explain why it is so bad to not tip at all.
Not sure where the downvote came from - maybe I can explain a bit.

If it was from my last part - I'm actually asking for clarification because we've

often discovered this when people say they've tried us.

A lot of folks don't spend too much time on a framework and I don't blame them.

They are looking for a tool to get the job done and move on 99% of the time. That's more than fair.

The bulk of these folks also tend to be people who are mildly curious coming from python,

where most deep learning practitioners are.

That being said:

I was serious about each node being independent for spark.

Our linear algebra library runs as a spark job on each executor/slave node.

We've built in our own resource management via

javacpp that handles memory allocation for the cuda buffers

as well as cudnn.

The driver for spark then tracks the coefficients across spark rdd partitions which allows us to synchronize updates.

Look out for a blog post from us on parallelforall (nvidia's blog) here soon that explains how this works.
There's a big difference between a grudge and a where-there's-smoke-there's-fire scenario.
I agree with you. I have used Uber when visiting San Francisco and San Diego and all 9 rides have been great, but the price seems low. We now know that they lost 1.2 billion dollars over a six month period. BTW, I have always used Uber in ride sharing mode, never exclusive. I don't mind cash tipping since I always travel with lots of small bills. The secret of good hotel experiences is handing out of modest tips to everyone who helps you, and including Uber drivers seems fair enough.

EDIT: re: hotel tipping: I tend to stay at the same hotels when I travel. Still, tipping maids and other helpful people should be done regardless of expectations of good service during future stays.
Yeah, but at least STDs would be gone forever. Keep your eye on the ball, man!
If it was a compromised employee login it could have been an indirect path to the log server. E.g. ssh or "Go to My PC" to employee workstation, or log in to company VPN, from there to internal hosts.

Not that employee workstations should have access to production machines ideally, but it is commonplace at small companies (and big ones too).
I've worked both coasts equally in my career and have found that despite cost of living differences, wages for the top 25 percentile are quite compressed compared to SV or NYC. Furthermore, there is a rash of jobs that are primarily cost-cutting measures from companies based out of more expensive areas, which puts you at a kind of career positioning disadvantage. Case in point, when I was at HP in the Seattle area we had an office in Cary - it was primarily for QA, not for our platform developers that were more important to continued success of the product. I'm finding the same trend in Atlanta and even fintech jobs seem to regularly pay under $100k for senior developers here when the cost of living has gone up dramatically compared to my perception that I could get a decent place for <$1500 / month where I wouldn't have to suffer from a horrible commute - this is patently untrue I've found after spending a month searching for housing (not apartments, admittedly).
This is true for so many issues, including water usage, greenhouse gasses, and broader forms of pollution.
