Options are a complex topic, this article gets a lot wrong.

1. The base offer. Many startups pay competitive or close to competitive salaries + equity.
2. The value of the options depends on your ability to pick the right startup and you believe that you can make a difference to the company. I have a friend who picked the right startup 4 times in a row.
3. Stock options are typically priced at 25% of the last round. The reason this is possible via 409a valuations has to do with the differences between common stock and preferred.
4. Issues with investors right impacting the value of your stock options are more problematic with later stage startups. Warning signs are companies that raised a lot of capital but didn't live up to their expectations. Those companies will often be under pressure to accept terms in later stage financing that could destroy founder and stock option pool upside.
5. Venture Deals by Brad Feld is a great read to understand different investment terms.
6. Yes you get more equity if you create your own company. Doing so is extremely risky, stressful and hard though. I'd guess that even with the extra equity, on average, you'll make more money working for one of the big companies.
7. So in a nutshell, starting companies, joining early stage companies. It really depends on your ability to pick the right company and perhaps more importantly your ability to make a difference.

Well that, and a bit of luck :)

> and then you have women that have questionable technical skills who keep whining about sexism

I noted this as a pattern - if you complain about sexism then you put shadow over your technical skills. You have to choose between being seen as capable and between pointing out unfairness if you think it happens.

Also, Veronika Hubeny said that there is sexism in science. She did not had negative feelings about this panel. It is possible to watch the video and come to different interpretation as she did. Just like it is possible to see the video of someone accused of sexism and conclude it was not sexism. The latter is quite common occurence on these forums.

I'm afraid you might be in the minority. A strong majority of developers I know (and even those whose desks I just walk past) seem to be using dark themes in their editors/IDE's.

Personally, I find that if I'm looking at a screen for many hours at a time a darker theme helps prevent eye strain, or at least prolong the inevitable. YMMV, of course.

You’re not wrong about screen readers, no. I wrote a blog post about this last year[1] but I’ll copy and paste a list of possible reasons from it here:

- script hasn’t finished loading, or has stalled and failed to load completely

- application route is up, but the route to the Content Delivery Network is broken

- user has chosen to install a plugin that interferes with the DOM

- user has been infected with a plugin that interferes with the DOM

- user’s company has a proxy that blocks some or all JavaScript

- user’s hotel is intercepting the connection and injecting broken JavaScript

- user’s telecoms provider is intercepting the connection and injecting broken JavaScript

- user’s country is intercepting the connection and injecting broken JavaScript

- JavaScript code has functions not implemented by your user’s browser (older browsers, proxy browsers)

In iOS 10 Settings > Privacy > Location, under the "Location Services & Privacy link, it says: "Your iPhone will keep track of places you have recently been, as well as how often and when you visited them, in order to learn places that are significant to you. This data is kept solely on your device and will not be sent to Apple without your consent. It will be used to provide you with personalized services, such as predictive traffic routing." This is consistent with Apple's philosophy of keeping personal data processing on-device as much as possible to protect user privacy.

The comment does make a point of substance. It argues that talking over other people isn't a symptom of sexism, and cites as evidence the fact than man and women alike are talked over by more confident extroverts, and thus that it is yes a problem but no not stemming from sexism. What it does not make is a point of substance with which you agree, or rather, which does not immediately stroke your pre-existing conceptions. The fact that in your mind this is immediately equated with "lack of substance" is deeply troubling, especially because I fear it's becoming an increasingly common way to think.

If I may I would suggest that you consider the theses and arguments presented by others at face value and consider them logically and rationally for what they are, and to do it before you analyse them in the framework of your pre-existing beliefs.
I am so sick and tired of this argument. Having done it several times, no, you do not end up with something as big as jQuery, not by a long shot.
I work in the DevOps/sys admin field, so I'm use to always looking at what could go wrong. I think this is a toss up depending on the persons experience with startups. I've been in mostly small sub 20 person startups for 15 years now so I've seen almost all of it.

You have the people who are new to startups, who think its a ticket to financial freedom in 4 years when they have fully vested and the company sells for 1+ billion. Those people might be scared away.

You have the people who have been through a few startups and have worked at a failed company or a company that the investors took all the money and left the common stock holders with nothing or little to nothing. I'm in this group and that would be a breath of fresh air to hear that. During interviews, if I hear only great things and nothing is wrong then that is a red flag to me.
You'll get to a point (with lots of hard work and good decisions) where selling yourself isn't the hard part of the job and you don't have to spend as much time and energy marketing yourself. Juggling time and projects and choosing who to work with and who not to and also finding time to study to get better is the tough part for me. And also having a life. You'll figure out how to manage your rates and increase them as your skills warrant, but if you're good people will hunt you down. You can only handle so many clients at a time as a sole proprietor though, so it's important to focus on the best clients and lose the duds. I only have 5 clients, but charge $135/hr. (I also have an MBA and lots of business experience) With that few clients, it's important to not let all your eggs end up in 1 basket, which is tricky sometimes since the client mostly determines the project timeframes.
Professional investors generally get pro rata rights which allows them to buy more stock in later rounds. They do this because they want the ability to buy more shares in companies that are succeeding.

They don't get magic stock that magically doesn't get diluted.
Jesus Christ. Here's a thought, treat them as people and not "a black" or "a woman". You don't have to ingratiate yourself in the fear that some random person will think you're a racist. He's just a person going about his day delivering packages. He's got his own worries and concerns and things going on in his mind.

"Is becoming a racist the best solution, so I'm able to function more effectively?" I can't tell if you're being tongue-in-cheek here or have genuine social issues. My (admittedly somewhat harsh) advice is to close your IDE and go interact - in person - with other humans.
> By the way if you have a problem with the number of cores just compare the single core score.

Then the Intel processor comes out ahead despite the iPad having a higher clock speed.

> I don't see a problem though, it they can cram one more core in same tdp then it's fair.

The quad core i5-7442EQ will destroy the dual core i5-7267U at anything threaded even though it has a lower TDP. Having more cores is an asymmetric advantage in threaded benchmarks.
If other entities were not profiting off of the labor I might agree that its a just punishment. However, if they are now cheap labor for companies, and can get extra punishments for not working, that is no longer a punishment in of itself. Its just slavery under the guise of justice
Yes, the moderator's behaviour would have been wrong against any person, no matter their gender. But it is especially inappropriate when done against those who have to endure this more than others throughout their life.

You don't need a sexist intent to behave sexist. Being ignorant to this issue doesn't make it much better. And calling the person from the audience "heckling" just because she made him aware of this issue is a very clear sign of ignorance.

At least he changed his behaviour nevertheless, although I'd attribute this more to the reaction of the rest of the audience.

Far from it, honest is one of the absolutely critical metrics I use to evaluate any prospective employer. Bravo.

I don't mind someone stating why they believe their start up will have a better chance of success than the average: it is a positive to believe in the product. But don't sell it as a sure thing.
I think it's worth considering that we're seeing some survivorship bias here - it's possible that she's the only woman on the panel because she thinks this way. In other words, it's possible that other women who would have seen this event as being rooted in sexism may eventually be a part of so many similar events during their career that they effectively burn out and switch to more female friendly fields.

This has been my experience working alongside women in software engineering - the ones who pay attention to how they might be treated differently leave.

It's also one of the hardest things about being black in tech - you must ignore many possible slights and assume that nobody is purposefully racist. You must construct alternative narratives to explain things that you see day in and day out, otherwise it's easy to get swallowed by doubt and lose your ability to contribute effectively. I call it assuming positive intent. It's how you survive.
Current common valuation - insignificant for early-stage companies. Late stage companies do RSUs.
Started out that comment with the intention of linking that, excellent watch.
This might be the thing that is most problematic about 'call out' culture. We assume that we know the intention of people's behavior (sexism) and how it is received (offense). In many cases there may be neither. But I'm just cynical enough to suspect that this many not matter to people who 'call out.' They feel that they are on a mission to make society better regardless of whether there are problems in any individual case.

The Greek word that can't be translated
> The only way to improve society is to recognize when things are really done with ill intent

I strongly disagree. We need to fix issues no matter if they had been done because of ignorance or because of ill intent.

The measures and consequences should be different, but naming and fixing the issue should be independent from that.

"Bad social skills" is a common excuse, but in the end, it's just another word for ignorance. Learning a few social rules is like learning design patterns, and learning not to be sexist or racist is like learning about anti-patterns. It is not harder than coding! If anything, learning social basics is easier than programming.

But if you don't care, you won't learn it. Which you may choose to, but then, it's ignorance, not inability.

What strikes me as odd given the USA's reputation as the home of the self made millionaire that the taxation of employee options is so broken.

Treating options on shares as Income when they are not is just stupid options are a high risk instrument that well be worth nothing as opposed to a higher sallery.

Why is there not a PAC made up of tech industry employees lobbying for reform of Federal and state laws and arguable tech employers should be doing this.

And I should point out that politicaly I am on the left here compared to 95% f the average HN reader.
I'm treating my options like a free lottery ticket with not decent odds. That's it. They don't exist when I plan my finances.

I doubt this is optimal, as options can be evaluated to some extent and risk can be appropriately brought on and managed. But it works for me when trying to do math about my present and future opportunities.
My recommendation is not become a racist. But maybe instead to treat everyone with the same sense of care that you are making the effort to do for a minority. You can't go wrong treating people with respect and empathy.

> WHY, does someone like me, with No status in that room, have to be so extraordinarily bold and speak up? And why was it so frightening to do so?

Audience members do have some status, she actually exercised the precise limit of that status. Audience members aren't meant to have equal status, because that's just called a bunch of people in a studio / anarchy.
The best idea is to stop worrying. If you're a racist someone will write a comment about it and then, when it makes it big on HN, you may reflect upon your errors.
> That means everybody gets diluted including the founders, the angels, the VCs, and yes the employees too.

founders, angels, and early round VCs can simply issue themselves more stock from the pool of unissued shares to counteract dilution.
Sort of relevant is microprinting that still is in use today on money documents such as checks [1].

It would be interesting to combine the two techniques!

Microprinting is for preventing forgery and thus is incredibly difficult to copy but techniques to copy are always improving. I assume microdots are not as difficult to copy and are about tracking.

So if someone effectively copied the microprint you could inject microdots and those would be copied as well. Thus you might be able to track the forger as well detect forgery statistical analysis (based on the fact microdots encode changing data such as time).

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprinting
What we need is a way to pool employee stock options across startup companies to diversify risk. Surely there's a financial engineer somewhere who can create such a thing.
> The advice you're giving, frankly, is part of the problem.

No. It's your paranoid prophesy that is frankly the problem.

You're labelling women as victims before any crime has happened. Your confirmation bias has everything worked out ahead of time, including the derogatory remarks awaiting any woman who dares cross the line you've drawn in red paint.

Nobody would label the scientist on the panel as pushy or inappropriate for simply correcting a moderator's error. The moment would be forgotten seconds later instead of becoming the next awkward drama 'one woman vs world of men'.

Why would I recognize something that isn't an established fact, but your personal belief? That isn't reasoned debate, it's you wanting us to pander to your narcissism.
I've worked at one of the printer companies in the article. Someone in my weekly meetings merely gave the weekly report "I worked on project XXXX" for a year. I'm not censoring him: he censored himself and just stopped giving details about his project, including the name of the project. I suspect he was working on currency constellation detection, not these tracking dots, but that's roughly how it plays out.

Is anyone reluctant to do this work? Hell, no; that stuff is really cool to work on.

And the moral dilemma is more limited than you might realize. Frankly, given enough time, a printer company could identify a printer from a printout without these dots, down to its manufacturing batch (you could confirm the specific printer if you had access to the printer itself) and date of printing (down to a couple days or weeks, depending on how long ago it was). The dots just make it automatic instead of painstaking.

1) It prevents nothing. It is about post-facto detection.

2) It is self-evidently hostile to the law-breaker.

3) Whether or not it is moral to break the law is the relevant question, and that depends on the law. The "original purpose" of this tech hardly matters. Ask the authors of Soviet-era samizdat.

> He begins clarifying/providing an example of what she is saying for 0:20, continuing to talk when she tries to speak once. It is during this interruption that "let her speak please" is shouted (1:05:40).

This makes it sound like he only interrupts her twice, while my count is up to eight at this point. He's already interrupted her mid-speach three times, and she's trying to get back air time five times after 1:03:25 when he's interrupted her.

And it's the same after 1:05:25 when he interrupts her yet again.

> It's clear that he was quite excited about the ideas and some of the ways he wanted to explain them and examples he wanted to give. It's not clear that there was no subconscious bias on his part in the way he went about it.﻿

I honestly don't think it's nefarious, but what I do think is fairly blatant is that it's a case of speaking for the woman, which is text book sexism. If I can read more between the lines than perhaps is there, I think he believes he's doing her a favor. While clearly wrong, I think this is a/the main component of sexism. Which could also explain people (men) not seeing it as a problem because it's habitual and not stemming from ill-will.
