I visited their NYC offices in 2008. we were talking to them about some openstack/cloud stuff at the time. I went in jeans and a polo. My contact there emailed after saying the meeting went well, but to please wear a dress shirt and no jeans next time. And I wasn't even an employee! ;)
I'll ask it differently: why are we not getting a black bar for this?
Maybe when the kids are in their pre-teen and teenage years this is possible, but with toddlers, I'm skeptical.

If you plan on being there when the kids get home, genuinely want to contribute your half by doing laundry/disciplining kids/teaching/playing with your children/reading stories/putting to bed, you may not be done with evening family time until 9 or 10pm.

Toddlers usually wake around 6am. You have to be rested enough to do it all over again and your professional work. That puts you going to bed at 10pm.

If you're extremely efficient with your time, maybe you can get ahead. But it's definitely a squeeze.
Show HN: Eul – a lightweight desktop client for Skype, Slack, Gmail, and more
Hi,

eul is a very lightweight and fast native desktop client for Skype, Slack, Gmail, VK, FB, Jabber, Telegram, and Signal. Right now only the first four are supported, and the rest should be done by the end of August.

Why did I create this? To solve two big problems I see with the current IM solutions: there are too many of them, and the clients are ridiculously bloated for what they are built to do. For example, everyone knows what a huge resource hog the Skype client is. Even the Telegram client, which is supposed to be lightweight, is using 1.3 GB of RAM on my desktop right now.

I'm obsessed with performance. The entire application is about 4 MB, and it's never going to be more than 10 MB. In fact there are still many things to optimize. It's native, so you don't need to download a 100 MB browser just to use your IM client.

eul can display thousands of messages in one conversation without the constant page fetching. The scrolling is instant and smooth. You can jump to any message without waiting. I've tested it with 50 000 messages in one chat. No lags, instant scrolling to any point, instant search. That should be enough for most :)

This is a very early alpha release. A lot of essential features are still missing (for example, images and other attachments are not supported yet). Automatic updates will be released every day. There's a built in contact form, please use it to submit bugs and suggestions.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback :)

Thanks
What it's economy is like and what it's popularly imagined to be are two different things. Your nitpick actually undermines the very awareness you're trying to create because it misses the semantic mark.
Too many people think that what works for them must be ideal, and should work for everyone.

Agreed.

I honestly think that most people will not thrive in a fully remote, work-from-home environment.

That may well be true. But there's clearly a non-negligible group that swing very much the opposite way. What we're looking for is flexibility, not one-size-fits-all.
Many Microsoft Employees. Maybe try googling.

But there is also a larger question of why we allow them at all. They seem unconscionable in any industry. They're roughly akin to suggesting that if you train someone you own rights to their training.
I didn't think about that. I don't know much about it and have never dealt with trade secrets. Isn't it close to a non-compete? How can a company know an employee isn't using their trade secrets at a competitor?

My cynical hope is that this is a troll whose endgame is to point out that this is a re-worded approach to startup options. "It's worth cents now, so we'll give you a bunch of it, and then you code, and thats what gives it value!"
I have had this exact thought.
These guys were on the featured list and showcased in apple commercials before they were suddenly dropped.

I am not sure if this is "withdrawal of special treatment". These guys made great ios apps, both before and after they started making Android apps.
This seems like a great way of publishing public datasets. However, as someone who works on a computer vision startup I don't think I could really use this. In my work data annotation, visualization, and versioning cannot be easily separated. The effort we would need to put in to use quilt might be better spent building a simple versioning system on top of our current data infrastructure.

Check out the https://ubports.com/ project, they have continued Ubuntu Phone (which has officially been discontinued), and they have made really impressive progress since then. You can really run it on a phone and have all drivers working, unlike postmarketOS (but we have different goals, remember).

One of our goals is packaging all sorts of user interfaces, and ubports is one of them (but it depends on individual developers, if they actually want to do it, because developers are encouraged to work on what they like most):

In exchange, the employer also has to give as much notice before firing you, right? I would say that's a reasonably fair trade.
Trade secrets are managed state by state under the umbrella of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. I don't think the legal question is how can they know but rather how much time is the perp going to face if the perp gets caught. Levandowski could be in line for serious prison time for theft of trade secrets from Google. Kalanick too.

That's really not helpful. How many is "many?" And how many of those "many" would a reasonable person think is justified? The Uber case I mentioned previously is something I think a reasonable person would find justified. Is MSFT a bad actor or is this an industry-wide problem?
The supply of people who want to be investment bankers is massive.
If you put money for example into one of Vanguard's "Retirement 20xx" funds you can make some pretty good returns that you can use to retire earlier. If you are in your 30s by the time you retire the money would have increased about eightfold as the grand parent said. Since you will have to pay taxes on those gains if it's not a 401k you will likely only end up with like 4-6x of what you have right now. So one month off due to these shenanigans could be 4-6 months of earlier retirement.
Hi hackers,

CommonClip is a super simple file sharing platform. We’ve made it incredibly easy to use and kept only the most essential functions for file sharing.

CommonClip lets you create a share link, that not only allows others to access your files but also lets them upload their files without creating an own account. This means that with CommonClip you’re not just sharing files, you share the tool itself.

We're looking forward to hear what you think about it.

Thanks!
Frankfurt Is the Big Winner in Battle for Brexit Bankers
In theory, yes, the parties arrive at the "correct" amount of pay, and the transaction goes forward.

In practice, however, the typical employee only has one source of income (the job from their employer), while the employer has many employees. This makes the employee less able to survive loss of the job than the employer to survive loss of the employee. That's what leads to the imbalance of power between employee and employer.

As an individual working for a corporation, you have to keep in mind that you're depending on a sociopathic entity for your survival. Said sociopathic entity is legally mandated to act in the best interests of shareholders and investors, and to disregard your interests entirely unless they happen to align. This makes them as dangerous as a wild animal, but, fortunately, more predictable.

I have a neighbor who grew up in Venice beach (a coastal town within greater Los Angeles). His parents live in the same house he grew up in. It's always been somewhat touristy, especially on the oceanfront, but since the digital STR wave he says it has rapidly destroyed the neighborhood. The challenge is lots of late night activity - people talking loudly in the streets, screaming etc, drink and drugs, and just a general itinerant population of people who come and go, adding nothing to the locality. I know this reads like a 'get off my lawn' mentality, but it is surprising how quickly a place can lose its ambiance and atmosphere - the things that made it attractive to visit - when the population becomes dominated by faceless, ever changing visitors. It seems anywhere 'interesting' is suffering from these issues...

We have used the usb network configuration code from SailfishOS' hybris-boot as reference to implement our own version for the initramfs already.

What these projects can share is mainlining kernels at least, and there could be more. We have heavily documented what we do and I hope that this will prove to be useful to other projects as well.
Update: I received an example via email that included approximately 40 investors passing and not being interested, until the seed round began to be put together at which point it snowballed. I would say this strengthens my conviction that the levers listed in the article are not how VC's make their decisions: because those listed levers did not change to cause the change in investor decision.

I never worried about it. I just assumed I'd figure it out. But, that is survivor bias. I do know it was sometimes a major motivation to work harder. It was never a guilt thing, just I want to make sure they are OK.

I have 4 boys all healthy and a decent career. It's gone well for me, but there were scary parts...it increased the personal stress a lot in times like when my start-up/s failed.

It never hampered my ambition though. My wife and I are a team. We've spent 6 months plus apart as I pursued start-ups in Texas and during YC. I've never looked at my family as holding me back in any way.

What if they spent all their savings on rent and then lost their jobs due to automation, productivity gains needing less workers, or immigration (workers willing to work for less)?

Supply grows to meet demand, but what if the demand side has no money left? I think a lot of these "timeless" rules of thumb are going to be discovered to be not so timeless after all.
I do. I wrote this based on my personal situation and my current girl friend's (potential wife). She is capable and a very good person. But her field of study isn't as money many as an engineering field.

I believe she will contribute to the family as much as she could (even not financially ). But I can't ask more than that.

She also grew up in a richer family than mine. She seems to be used to a higher life quality. I feel some pressure about it. but I have never talked with her about it for the fear for disagreement, whereas I lean toward a Minimalism, less materialized life. "live tiny, die never.", but with a family, I guess I won't have the freedom to choose my way of life.

I explicitly said "spouse doesn't work", because I want to hear from extreme examples.

There is no evidence that the middle class is being impoverished by automation. Automation has the effect of increasing wages. It's the sole reason wages today are 20X what they were 200 years ago.

In any case, this is completely unrelated to housing usage patterns.

Who said, that we are "two guys"? I've started with this alone, before I considered pmbootstrap good enough. Since I've released it, we have 40-60 people hanging out in the irc/matrix channel, and a good bunch of them are actually contributing to either this project or other projects with which we share efforts.

The big difference compared with Android and everything based on Android/AOSP is, that we keep the effort for each device minimal. Read the introduction post for more information: https://ollieparanoid.github.io/post/postmarketOS/
No, I'm judging by my extensive experience co-working with remotes. No "time zone" makes it legit to be non-responsive for over 24h during work days. It's 100% ok to be not working but that's referred to as "day off" and should be communicated as such.
Totally agreed on the concept, that is why a T-shirt or hoodie with the company's logo on it is usually enough..
I see it a bit differently, I started from a differential point of view like this;

Assume the cabin exists. It can be owned by someone who lives in it, or someone who really just rents it. In either scenario property taxes are going to be paid. And in either scenario the cabin will be maintained by local service agencies (plumbers, electricians, etc).

The only difference might be that the 1%er is paying a laundry and maid service, and a local to pick up and give out the keys to the place.

There is no special "business property tax" for AirBnB/VRBO type rentals and according to Fresno many VRBO/AirBnB types don't actually report their income (this annoys the state equalization board), and according to the Sunnyvale city manager people who rent out rooms or their houses should have a business license but they generally don't and it is hard to enforce.

My suggestion was that if you differentiated between a VRBO/AirBnB place and a bonafide hospitality business, like a Bed and Breakfast, there is both significant additional tax revenues and additional documented employment.
If you ignore all the unemployed people that are not classified as unemployed, you're right. Good thing to know there are literally no knock on effects from automation, it's just gravy for everyone.
LastPass is the only commercial password manager I recommend. I really think you should avoid 1Password.

I don't think time is going to be your biggest issue. I don't know that working long hours in an entrepreneurship setting really helps things. It's more about being smart and productive with the time you do have. 12 hours/day every day working on the same thing would burn you out anyway.

The problem you may run into though is stability. If your spouse isn't planning to work, then you need a stable source of income. When you're single it's far easier to cut back on your expenses than it is when you have kids. You can live in shared housing, eat spaghetti every day, wear the same two shirts for a couple years, and not really be any worse off for it. But you can't really avoid buying diapers.

So, entrepreneurship may be more difficult due to that. And really all outside-of-work ambitions do get tougher. I'd love to go for an advanced degree, and my wife even supports it "in theory". But the reality is, with two young kids at home, there's no time to maintain a stable job, take care of kids in a way that's remotely fair to my wife, and commit to a huge time suck like grad school. And frankly, I'd rather hang out with the kids. Though it did take a couple years to get to that point. There was absolutely regret on my side in the beginning, for quite a while.

Your original question was career vs family though. I think career is fine. As long as your job provides steady income and you're efficient with your time, I don't see any problem that kids would introduce in terms of advancing quickly in your career.

Also note, even entrepreneurship isn't impossible. I've got two friends that started a small consulting company around the same time they had kids. But they had a steady stream of clients at the start and always did good work, and also had enough savings to survive any hiccups they encountered, so it worked out for them. The "unicorn" startup may be more difficult though.
It's interesting that you ask for a citation, and then immediately proceed to essentially make stuff up ("95%", "easily unit-tested"). Maybe you could provide a citation for these?

There is a long-running trend in the industrial sector to use statically-typed languages in large and/or critical projects, so there must be reasons for dynamic languages to be quasi non-existent there, and a change would require more than "just easily unit-test it", no? (To be fair Erlang is in fact the one notable exception, although it's -- as far as I know -- only used in the telecom industry)
I've only ever done tshirt and jeans stuff. I couldn't imagine wearing a suit every day, but it might be fun to have a "dress up Fridays".

I use the Chrome ChromIPass plugin for user/passwords autofill. There is also a FF plugin, but I usually stick with Chrome these days.

I tried to switch to Lastpass but I found that a) the plugin was a terrible resource hog and b) would make some sites unusable due to ridiculous page load times. Obviously it works for some people, but the attack vector of sites like LastPass are so large, I was never comfortable following the masses.

If I had to choose between the two, I would also choose Linux, but some of the things mentioned in the "article" are wrong.

2) Updates. Windows updates seem plannable to me.

3) Antivirus. There are malicious programs for Linux and if they are designed well and ask you for root privilege, I believe that the average joe/jane will just type in the root password. (See latest Handbrake hack). And this is my opinion: You probably do not need Antivirus on Windows if you are careful about your system.

5) The default Windows file system is NTFS (since Windows NT 3.1) and not FAT32. And once you equip your PC with an SSD, you do not have to bother about defragging at all.
I agree and I appreciate the nuanced tone of your answer.
dang, this is literally the first time I recall ever seeing a mod respond like this, and I've seen some pretty off-topic comments before.

The comment was pretty darn civil, we've had political discussions all the time, and you know better than I do that not every well-received comment in HN sparks "intellectual curiosity".

Furthermore, for the life of me I don't see the "flamewar" that was started here. It seems more like you started the flames by threatening an immediate ban. So I'm a little shocked to see you reply like this. You could've just said the comment is off-topic and deleted it quietly, but to suddenly call it a nationalistic flamewar... I don't see how you expect people to take that.

Valid point. In addition to technical optimizations besides SSR, you can make perceived improvements too. If you get a first initial paint in one second lets says, you're not going to hurt engagement. There are plenty of tricks you can pull out first before you need SSR.

Sure if you're using Node.js pull out SSR first since its easier. But for Python right now, it's not the easiest thing.
