I'm reading between the lines here (so you're welcome to correct me).. but is part of it this:

The money is coming out your pocket, and you're losing more money as time goes by. You're stressed out about that, and trying to save money. So you're trying to find the cheapest developers you can, and the candidates that are ok with you're low ball salary are those without a lot of options (ie: unqualified, inexperienced, etc). But the good developers, they want real money (which you've misinterpreted as "fuck you, pay me").

Look I run a self-funded startup too.. and people are expensive. I get it. But it's a market. Those good developers aren't refusing to work for you because they don't want to work for anyone. They're refusing because they can get other offers. Your low salary offer isn't interesting to them.

It's as simple as that.
I'm not sure why this is hard... why is any amount of flirting, or innuendo etc. at work OK?

I do realize that people spend much of their time at work, and it's a place people meet.

Personally, now that we have dating sites and such I would not risk my career by trying to initiate a relationship with someone I am working with...

I'd rather avoid even just the mild awkwardness of someone being uncomfortable at me asking them for coffee or dinner, and having to then work with them after that.

As someone with quite a bit of experience negotiating and scoping agency fees, I'll say this only works to an extent.

Sure a % of media pricing model might net them more in the immediate term. But if it comes at the expense of reduced performance, that relationship won't last because at some point, the client will fire them.

Various fee models have their own strengths and weaknesses, and each has their own weighting of which party shoulders the bulk of the risk. % of media models shift that burden heavily to the client whereas rev-share models do the reverse.
No it doesn't. It only allows you to do that for an app you already installed in the past.

If you want to install an app for the first time, where the current version is incompatible with your OS, you can't.

Believe me, I've tried.
The occasional occurrence of an unlikely event does not make it reasonable to arrange your life around avoiding it. See: kidnapping by a stranger, plane crashes, suddenly having a photo of yourself go viral on the internet.

You are putting words from a totally different argument in my mouth. Weak rhetoric.
I've been an owner of a company for years now and I've always followed a few simple rules with the women who work for our company:

- I never, ever comment on their appearance, including new hairstyles, clothing, etc.

- I refer to them as "women", never as "ladies" or "girls" or other nonsense.

- No touching (hugs, etc.) with the exception of handshakes and high fives.

- I don't engage in, or tolerate, any sexist, sexual or otherwise inappropriate conversations.

I will, however, happily go for lunch, have a drink, etc., as I would any other colleague.

Incidentally I regularly break some of these rules with male employees, such as remarking on haircuts ("looking good", etc.), but it's different. (I maintain the rule about sexist/sexual conversations across the board - talking about women with male colleagues isn't cool either.)

I could probably break some of these rules with some of the women in my office without causing offence too, especially the people I'm closer with - e.g. by remarking on a new outfit or something - but I don't want to be a creep so I just play it super safe with everybody.

It's really not all that difficult: be a professional, don't be a creep, and err on the side of caution. If you have to overcompensate like Pence, it's still a hell of a lot better than the alternative.
Updated my 5s a few days back. Touch ID stopped working and refuse to activate (error message). Spotlight no longer finds the Calculator app. App titles, like Messages, have become larger and hence takes up more space. When I slide an app up to close it, the animation indicating a close triggers, but the app pops back up, so I have to do that gesture twice now to actually close apps. There’s more but I’m typing on my phone and that’s horrible.
I'd strongly argue that they are more trustworthy than the crap that comes pre-installed on most phones by the manufacturer nowadays.
Yes, I couldn't resist.
I'm guessing it's going to create power differences, where those willing to deal with social complexity will end up on top. The more people you can talk to, the better your career will do.

Much like any game of Settlers of Catan.

These incidents have been pushed against for a while, and while the same rhetoric was used in the 70's, nonetheless here we are without gendered want ads.
As a consultant who gives price breaks to early stage startups by taking options on a NQSO agreement this is often the only way to avoid getting taxed. This will suck.
Questionable. USSR had much more conventional military power and strategic balance was defined by presence of nuclear weapons at both sides. But it's not that expensive and it's not only US who had them in NATO or in Europe. US saved Europe from Soviet invasion in 1940-1950s, but later it's not so clear, whether role of USA was decisive.
I had an older phone with 4 GB space. I could keep about 15 apps running on it. A lot of these apps were important - Waze, WhatsApp, Slack, Uber, camera, etc.

So that left me switching between a budget of about 60 MB for games and unnecessary apps, though I can squeeze in a little more by clearing all the caches.

Now suddenly Samsung bugs me to update to the latest version of Android. The new update would take up hundreds of megabytes. My space was already highly limited.

I eventually gave in to curiosity and updated to Lollipop. The phone became unusable because I didn't have the space to install the apps I needed.
I just grabbed FF57 from the ftp link :), couldn't wait!
Wrongfully accused of what? OP literally described how not to be accused of anything 101. Treat women like your fellow man, treat women like humans.

If a search box is desirable I'd recommend upvoting an existing feature request on there or submitting a PR for that if you're an android developer too.
I never switched to chrome, even when it was faster, I just never trusted google even back in the Web 2.0 days. I installed the first nightly at work and the beta at home as I have to have quantum now, it’s just fast and lightweight. Finally it’s taken time but hope Mozilla ends up back at the top, better for privacy, security and speed
I've overstepped with women. Women have overstepped with me. There is definitely a graciously wide gray area of "That came out differently than I meant it."

The key is to:

1. Understand your own intent when saying/doing something.

2. Consider the potential negative ways something you may say could be perceived.

3. Understand the additional social responsibility that comes with being someone's superior, explicit or implicit.
And the mortgage deduction and state tax write off proposals are targeted at California / NY.

I'm sure targeting wealthy coastal liberals is a feature for many Republicans, but as nearly every economist will tell you the mortgage interest deduction really is awful and should be nuked from orbit. It's probably the most intelligent thing this Congress has proposed, even if it is by accident.
Since the author advocates for the use of Flow it is implicitly exposing the lack of a typing system in JS, but I wish the community was more explicit and critical about this fundamental problem.

All the new features of ES6/7/8 are great, but in the case of types the TC39 needs to adopt a more radical posture.
>that had more to do with market adaption of social networks and mobile phones plus payment services than product innovation

Not parent, but this seems to be key. Many say tech will be forever as innovative as it has been in past 10-15 years, but now it seems that all of that has simply been the effect of widespread adoption of the internet & smartphones, rebuilding parts of the economy on top it, and things are reaching saturation. Until there is another major breakthrough like that at the hardware level, we will see far less growth and unicorns.
It is important to consider that once you put something away it can start earning money on its own. So if you work backwards, lets assume you save your 25K/year in your 401k and you add 25K/year in just part of your income. That is 50K/year which when you are young is perhaps half your salary and 20 years later is perhaps 1/4th or 1/5th (assuming you go from making $100K / year early on and eventually get to $200K /year). If you look at the S&P500 [1] and no-load or zero load ETFs, you can get an average annualized rate of return of ~ 7%. Do the math (here is a convenient web site: https://www.budgetworksheets.org/invest/) and after 20 years you've got $2.1M saved. You started at 22 and you ended at 42 and now you have 10x your ending salary of $200K/year saved. When you are young and have no dependents you can save a ton of money, and the more you save, the earlier you save it, the more it piles up at the end when you need it. A couple of big signing bonuses when changing jobs, a bit of gain from the stock purchase plan. It isn't as far out of reach as you might imagine.

The other thing to be careful of is the who "bought real estate in the '80s, those days are long gone" kind of things. If you bought real estate in Denver in 2010 you're doing pretty well right now. If you bought 10,000 shares of Facebook stock when they IPO'd and held it (that was only 6 years ago) it would be worth over $1.75M today. I'm not trying to exploit my hindsight, I'm trying to share with you that large changes in investment value happen all the time, markets change. So you should not tell yourself that such opportunities are "mostly unavailable now" they are just as available now as they were then. Sometimes you will win and sometimes you won't but if you are reasonably diversified in your investment plan you can take advantage of a growing economy.

Your own happiness is the biggest issue, you will have to reckon with that sooner or later.

Beyond that, the issue of working for someone else is generally not the problem, it's getting taken advantage of by fast-talking business people that turns people off. As tech becomes the new finance, the number of wheeler dealers proliferates, and experienced talent develops a well-earned distrust of the typical below-market salary pitch. This is one reason so many companies feed on the fresh talent straight out of college rather than pursuing older engineers, because it's much easier to maintain the pie-in-the-sky dream mentality that experienced hands know rarely pans out.

The bottom line is if you want to get someone cheap, you need to take a risk on someone less experienced with something to prove, or else you need to bring in senior talent either by paying something approaching market or by giving them meaningful co-founder level equity instead of the pittance that is standard for engineering hire #1. I've also had some luck building teams from people outside the Bay Area with fewer opportunities and who, for whatever reason, did not fit the mold of the typical software developer.
Would you mind sticking to substantive comments, please?
I'd recommend Peter Drucker's book from 1985, "Innovation And Entrepreneurship".

Drucker points out that the output of a small startup is radically different from a large, mature organization. From a large organization, investors might want growth of 15% and final profits of 20%. But he also points out, this is both too little and too much for a small startup. From an early stage organization, it is important to see triple digit growth, and no profits at all. The sign of a successful startup is that it finds a business model that allows it to grow rapidly. Drucker also describes the failure mode where the small startup gets enough growth to survive, but not enough to become a mature, independent organization. It then limps along in a crippled state.

For my money, Drucker has a better density of insight-per-page than any other business writer. I strongly recommend him.
I'm very wary of Republican politicians doing anything like this. They're the primary enemies of Net Neutrality thanks to lobbyists, and the big telecoms that spend money lobbying them tried to drive a narrative that Google was "getting a free ride" on their networks. Combine those factors, and you can imagine a very simple diagram of telecoms applying legal pressure to Google via the politicians they've purchased.
I thought they had changed Battlefront 1.

> That shouldn't be the trade-off

Right, but it is the tradeoff.

Of course it shouldn't be, but unfortunately it is.
> Most days it's just stress and I'm not happy.

As a formerly stressed & miserable former business owner who bootstrapped the entire operation in the beginning, I can tell you that to my stressed out past self everything I didn't like seemed disproportionately grey/weak-sauce/lame.

To directly answer your question, I used to wonder why everyone didn't care as much as I did. It's because they didn't. The work was kind of monotonous, they knew (I think) that the entire operation was hand to mouth (jobs could evaporate at any time), and for them it was just a job, even if it was a good job, it was just a job. I literally couldn't give away stock/shares to my employees, because they didn't understand or value them.

I later learned to appreciate I was too emotionally attached, and that my employees' "I don't care that much" attitudes was fine. They showed up, did a great job, and made me money. That's what they wanted to do, and I eventually learned to accept it. That made me sad in a way, as I understood I couldn't lean on my employees to constantly lead efforts grow, shift, and adapt to the chaos that comes with growing a business. I hadn't hired people that wanted drive the bus, but they were happy to go along for the ride.

Here's a few tricks I used to retain smart & cheap people to do work that, to me, was kind of boring:

- I sounded like I really cared about the business (it helped that I did)

- I said I could pay up to a certain amount in job ads & confirmed that in phone interviews

- I interviewed for skills & aptitude that reflected what people would need to do the job well, and then asked people to confirm they'd actually enjoy doing that kind of work

- I asked candidates "you seem bright & capable, so why do you want this job when you probably make twice what I can pay elsewhere?", and I accepted any answer that sounded legit as acceptable

- I only required people to do things I really needed them to do, and tried being flexible on everything else

After a couple years of doing the whole "I'm a boss with employees" thing, my business partner offered to buy me out. We worked out a deal, I took the money, and haven't spent a single minute missing the burden of running the show.

I encourage you to take steps to work towards being less miserable. Start by learning to articulate the bits related to "this is no way to live" in a manner that is thoughtful & without anger. I learned the hard way that when I shared my thoughts in a manner that was acute & emotional, the only thing I successfully communicated was acute emotional-ness.

I'd be happy to chat further if you like. My email is in my profile. If you need someone to yell at, I'll listen without taking it (too) personally.

Stay awesome, become awesome-r, and go conquer the world and/or retire.

It's not that simple. This isn't just some trend which can be fixed with a little logic. This is something that is changing the discussion fundamentally turning men guilty by default.

The metoo campaign IM basically allowed anything from actual abuse to catcalling be called sexual abuse. It expanded the definition of sexual abuse to basically align with only the most extreme feminists.

Men are now by definition guilty and any attempt at bringing nuance to the discussion will mark you as a possible perpetrator yourself.

My sister had to get a masters in library science to be a librarian. It is insane, and there's almost a Stockholm syndrome around it.

No one could possibly exercise literacy, problem solving, and rational thought without going for at least another $20k+ of student loan debt!
>If you have to overcompensate like Pence, it's still a hell of a lot better than the alternative.

I kind of think Pence is being smart. Conservative politicians can't survive that sort of scandal so being really careful can't hurt.

Also I think there is some wisdom in not always trusting yourself not to cross the line, why not just keep your self as far away from the line as you can reasonably maintain. Kinda like ulysses tied to the mast, it's just safer that way.
All the fuss is about the fact that unfortunately many men have still not acclimated to the basic tenants of a modern inclusive society.
So let's fund teams that are likely to come up with the next major breakthrough at the hardware level. "Putting finances first" is probably not the way to do it.
> - I never, ever comment on their appearance, including new hairstyles, clothing, etc.

> - I refer to them as "women", never as "ladies" or "girls" or other nonsense.

> If you have to overcompensate like Pence

News flash, you're overcompensating as well.
This is absolutely true. Student loan debt is a huge burden. If you're burdened by debt then most financial advisers in a low inflation scenario suggest you pay it off as quickly as you can. If we suddenly get 8 - 12% annual inflation and your salary is tracking that, then by all means stretch out your repayment so that you can pay it off with inflated dollars.
I know what OP is describing and I am saying that that's not enough as there are difference of opinion with regards to what that means. For some saying sweetie is sexual abuse.
To be clear for Overwatch only console party voice chat is peer to peer, not the in game Overwatch voice chat. This means you have to join a PSN party to reveal your IP. This is also true for Xbox One.

Subtle but important distinction, don’t want to scare people away from talking in Overwatch but players should avoid console parties with players they do not trust.

> Or just make college useful and accessible. Give people the option of a European style undergrad where there is no liberal arts breadth, only technical courses

So just turn college into a trade school? All that would do is make trade schools more expensive.

Roy Moore would love to talk to you. Or more specifically your daughter if she's around...

*Moore is know for dating underage girls and has been for a long time, yet it didn't hurt his political career. You can downvote, but the fact is conservatives only pay lip service to caring about morality.

I think the second order effects here are under appreciated. Ponder, which of these is overstepping?

* Telling someone they look good today

* Telling someone a very funny, yet lewd joke that you just thought up

* Inviting someone for a drink after work

* Telling someone they should dress better

* Telling someone they are too uptight

* Telling someone that, if they were nicer, they might get ahead more

* Inviting a co-worker to a party with lots of alcohol (example given in article)

You might think, "This is easy, clearly XYZ above are fine whereas ABC are not or could be questionable." But here's the problem: For a man talking to a man, all of the above are just plain fine.

Some may think that even in very low risk interactions, "why take the risk, if it could be misconstrued?" In a very tiny way even asking these questions opens me up to the risk of someone suggesting I'm some kind of sexist/bigot/etc, even though I'm only trying to be descriptive and not normative here, because someone may misinterpret a position here. In fact I'm sure there are plenty of people who would never comment on an article like this. But I bet they'll talk to their male co-workers about it, in private.

Which is kind of the rub. The net result of this round of men-wondering-of-they-are-overstepping may be even more boys club behavior than before.

How is it possible for men to treat women equally with other men, if it introduces such risk? I've seen all sorts of people advocating positions that boil down to "Don't make any friends at work, work is a place for work and nothing else." This seems like a losing strategy.

Not all difficult problems have broad solutions. Sometimes, spraying a pesticide increases the level of pests.

> Still, some workers said they were starting to follow “the Pence rule,” which was formerly known as the Billy Graham rule, after the evangelical preacher, but is now named for Vice President Mike Pence. Mr. Pence has said he does not eat alone with women who are not his wife or attend an event without her if alcohol will be served.

Maybe it is worth noting that Women are more likely than men to endorse Mike-Pence-style inter-gender workplace norms. From the NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/01/upshot/members-of-the-opp...
I am not sure how "cool" the actual product is (cool being relative to the interest of a given individual). I think it is almost always possible to find people who are genuinely interested in the problem space you are working in and then they would be much more into actual work with $ being a side bonus :).
Except many times the update will ask to expand its access to information in your phone it shouldn't need. So you choose between explicitly granting permission for unnecessary data access or don't update and hope you don't get owned via a vulnerability in that app.
