I think it is unreasonable to expect that, especially in a field where even a decade ago people were saying “50% of the skills on your CV become obsolete every 18 months”.
Strong disagree on letting the founders personal situation count for the salary to be taken off the table. Having kids or not is a personal decision, if your co-founder has kids and you don't or vv then your salaries should be - all other things being equal too - equal.

Paying one founder more than another is a good way to start a founder conflict and those you need like you need a toothache.
So this kind of defines value = able to raise lots of money. That just doesn't make sense to me.

Also the idea that you should be paid more because you have kids is same logic that communists used "to everyone according to their needs". In capitalism people should be paid based on what value they provide.

So, to me this calculator looks stupid. What if my startup hasn't raised any money, is still very profitable and employs 20 people?

But you are doing the same thing. This is the frustration. I've worked in several languages with various tools and it's very common to just be learning slightly different syntax to approach a problem in the exact same way (and then eventually maybe you'll reach a higher plane where you approach it in a way somewhat characteristic of the tool, but still not fundamentally different). Technologies that really change the way you work or think about problems are few and far between, and most of the algorithms and data structures you'll use most of the time in typical applications were discovered in the 1970s. It's not a big deal to pick up a new tool on the job, but I have a hard time motivating myself to spend free time learning yet another MVC framework or whatever.

It's a different story, I guess, if you go into a completely different type of programming from what you're used to (say Web apps to embedded programming), but I don't think that's necessarily easy.
The basic gist is that it does a brief profile of how you make moral decisions, and what your moral guideposts are.

Then it shows you how you compare to others.

Then the "debate" begins.

It presents an argument, and you indicate how strongly you agree or disagree.

Then you get to choose from canned responses to the argument, or write your own.

This repeats several times.

I'm not totally sure about what sort of AI is underpinning the project. It could be as simple as "choose your own adventure" logic, but possibly more sophisticated.

Goldeneye was a good bond film, but perhaps that's heavily influenced by the age you saw it at. I suspect I would still like goldeneye today, but perhaps not for the same reasons or as the same type of films I originally did.

If nothing else it did generate what I think is one of the seminal video games of the 90s. Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64 was amazing in both its single player campaign and its multiplayer influence.

No doubt some of my affection for the film is this up in this, so I wonder how well others that didn't have this additional influence view it.

The military has this system. A married service member gets paid more than a single service member. The idea is that the single soldier has less requirements for housing.

We are reading the same article and getting completely different readings. Both those links were written by professors in this exact area. One states the Aristotle was in wide circulation, the other states that photius likely wrote textbooks for use in schools on aristotle so he was hardly neglected. Did you read about Arethas? We even have knowledge of Photius's textbook on Aristotle's topics.

There were no new commentaries on Aristotle for a long time but that doesn't mean he was forgotten.

Notice also throughout all these links that it is unanimous that after Islamic invasion learning in general went into quick and rapid decline.

Good article: http://www.encyclopedia.com/humanities/encyclopedias-almanac...
> I'm not really sure what conclusions to draw from this article. Don't cheat on your husband? And on the other side, don't stalk and harass your ex!

No, those are not the conclusions to draw from this article.

You might start with:

- do not send information you do not wish to be made public to others

- online harassment can have devastating consequences

- authorities are prone to respond to bogus information multiple times even though it should be clear to them who the victims are

- there is no effective way to stop such harassment in a timely manner

On the plus side, it could have been worse, fortunately no SWATting or such happened, but it easily could have.
Jacobs is well worth reading. It's probably worth pointing out though that Jacobs would probably have generally opposed a lot of the Build Up! Build Up! exhortations one reads around here in service of cheaper housing in whatever tech magnet the writer favors. Given that she lived there, the West Village is probably a reasonable model for the sort of urban planning/not-planning that Jacobs favored. (I don't recall what she's specifically written in that vein.)
Also, you need to be lucky enough to somehow move into a team that uses kdb heavily (this usually happens via an internal move within an investment bank). Learning it using the tutorials is not the same as implementing it in a live environment, and the tutorials probably won't be enough to get you a job/contract. If you could say something like "I've worked on the FX desk at JP Morgan, where we used kdb daily", you'll be hired everywhere. Basically, you need a bit of luck in the first instance to get into a kdb focused team that can train you - after that, you're sorted!

If your founders have so little respect for each other that they can't acknowledge and gracefully accept the varying circumstances of their peers then the business is likely screwed anyway. If founders are that tightly wound, with respect to each other, then that's a recipe for turmoil ending in disaster.

“It’s a Ponzi Scheme”: Wall Street Fears Trump’s Deranged Tax Plan
Show HN: X to Elasticsearch Sync
Yes, but the military is not your start-up. Society will also give couples with kids tax breaks, which will already widen the gap in net income between two otherwise equally salaried co-founders, I really see no reason to artificially widen that gap.

BTW in almost all situations that I've been in where this would have mattered I was the one with the children.
Hi HN, we created ABC import as a convenient way to sync data source to an Elasticsearch index. It does three things really well imho:

1. A small footprint process / docker container that can index or sync your data source with ES that is operationally simple vs relying on application layer logic,

2. Supports on-the-fly transformations with Javascript, as well as configuration of mappings (so if you want to set a specific analyzer on your Text fields, or set type mappings),

3. Works with a wide variety of sources - Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, JSON, CSV, Elasticsearch and more coming soon.

As an American living in Berlin, it's a striking feeling to live in a well-run country. It's not perfect of course, but the feeling that the system works with you and for you (even as a foreigner) is a stark contradiction to the US.

Really? This is addressed in the article itself:

> BUT THAT LEFT another question. What if the case did go to trial? Even if she could convince a jury—which would mean explaining the complexities of how identity is both hidden and revealed on the internet—could she get them to care? Cyberharassment is still an unappreciated crime. Gary Ernsdorff, a prosecutor in King County, where the Allens live, said that people often don’t think it’s that big a deal—it’s just online, after all. Or they blame victims for sharing intimate images in the first place. What, Van Engelen wondered, would a jury make of the Allens’ saga? Would they think Steven had gone too far in exposing the affair? Would they blame Courtney for the videos? Though Van Engelen saw the Allens as victims, she realized a jury might not.

> Many people assume that cyber­harassment is easy to avoid: They believe that if victims hadn’t sent a naked photo, then that person would have nothing to worry about. But experts say this assumption is essentially a comforting fiction in a world in which we’re all potential victims. A 2016 survey found that one in every 25 Americans online—roughly 10 million people—had either had explicit images of themselves shared online against their will or had been threatened with such sharing. For women younger than 30, it was one in 10. The same survey found that, photos or no, 47 percent of Americans who used the internet had been victims of online harassment of some kind.
They also say they had given up there salary for the first few years because of a previous exit. I think you should have enough to take care of your kids and the other non family members should make less, but not the price of your kids less.
Do we really need articles like these on HN ?
>In fact, I have a feeling that computer programming is the stick that's holding the entire STEM tent up---if not for programming as a consolation prize you'd have a whole lot of physics and chemical engineers making lattes at starbucks---and further that web development is the stick that's holding the programming tent up.

I swear, I repeat this comment in almost every news article posted about how "We need more STEM graduates" and "The STEM job market is super hot right now".

Yeah, programming is. I know so many graduates of a BS in math, physics, chemistry, biology, ecology that just couldn't find satisfactory employment. They either got a second, mostly unrelated degree (in management or something more industrial) or are working at a mostly unrelated job.

Even in traditional engineering disciplines, while it's easier to get at least OK employment the demand just doesn't seem that strong compared to CS. I have many friends that graduated with civil, mechanical, or chemical engineering degrees (in at least one case, an MS) who are vastly overqualified for their lab tech or drafter positions.

I have a strong background in mech engineering and robotics. Yet, for the two years I worked in that domain, I never had a single recruiter contact me out of the blue. Now, my mostly amateur computer skills somehow landed me a "tech" (read: IT) job. In the 2 months since I've changed my current title on linkedin, I've had 3 recruiters contact me.
You're not the only one who reads HN, but thx for the input - I'll try to avoid replying to you in the future.
The problem is that such things tend to go underground and they can pop out years later, for instance when you're raising your series 'A' or during an exit. And if and when that happens - besides it being unfair in the intermediate time - it can cause real problems.

This is one of my main reasons for advising against founders that are in very different phases of their lives, there is an element in there that you can not easily get rid of that might cause issues in the longer term.
Raise your hand if you think Mark Zuckerberg got need-based financial aid. Hint: Both parents were doctors. Him being ranked at the same "self-made level" as a middle class kid that went to a state school is ludicrous.
Could argue that raising children potentially provides society future value, making the increase a kind of long term investment

Hoping the "100-hour-work-week" bit was a joke.
I agree with most points but if you are dead set on dedicating yourself to the compahy you work at why did you take a large exit?
Trump is the symptom, the signal. He's not the cause.

The cause is a system that's dysfunctional on multiple levels. The US' issues are systemic and some have now become part of US culture and are deeply anchored as such. I don't foresee any quick and meaningful correction. It's going to take many years for the country to become healthy again.

And given US influence all over the World, it's not good news.

I'm not the parent commenter, and "freedom of speech" is not the same thing as the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
I'm also not sure what conclusions to draw.

- There is this weird idea, that one does not need to meet another person in real life in order to build a real, meaningful relationship.

- Internet is a great place, but it also provides venue for people, that want to get outraged and want to get involved in conflicts, that under normal circumstantions they would never even hear of.

Is there any study on the consequences of such harassment?
When your parents are among the top 1% in the country (and, presumably, act as a risk-cushion in case you were to fail), it is difficult for me to buy that you are self-made.
Right, my move-to countries are similar but our neighbors don't come first for me. More like Scotland/UK, Canada, Australia, Sweden, Germany, US.
But perhaps Germany is too similar to Austria so I don't really see any real advantages in moving there, except slightly better job prospects, depending on the region.
Cheating has nothing to do with it.
There are places in the EU with sunny weather though...certainly more so than Canada! Spain, Italy, Greece, and the Balkans are all as far south as California is. You guys have it pretty good in the EU when it comes to options for living in sunny places. Maybe not as good as the US, but certainly a lot better than I do here in Canada. Any time I want to go live somewhere sunny I have to go through somebody else's immigration system!

How I Bootstrapped My Side Project to $6k/Month
Why is net-neutrality a good thing?

I understand that public services (e.g., government, roads, electricity, mail) should be neutral since they're imposed to us. Likewise, private services that were subsidized by the government should also be neutral. Same goes for artificial monopolies (i.e., only company X is allowed to provide service Y in area Z).

That said, it seems like legitimately private companies (no artificial monopoly, no subsidy) should be free to apply any arbitrary restrictions to the services they provide. No law should prevent a philanthropist from launching a satellite providing free access to Wikipedia (and nothing else).

I don't know if people defending net-neutrality are selfish (I don't want to pay any extra), are actually seeking neutrality for all public/subsidized/monopolistic services (not just the net), or if they just do it because it's trendy.

People used to be able to buy a video game and have access to all of its content at no additional cost. Today, people buy a game but still need to pay extra to access some content. Some people believe it's absolutely scandalous (see Reddit vs Battlefront 2). They seem to be the same people that defend net-neutrality. I can't help but think that both instances are motivated by selfishness and resistance to change.
This salary calculator doesn't seem to be focused on producing pay based on value provided.

It is a guideline to determine a reasonable amount a founder can get by paying themselves.

That's why things like location and family size matter.

If it was strictly a value proposition, the founder could pick any number that his investors would be okay with; he's the founder.
Could be interesting to see something like this integrated with DeepLearning.js
That’s true, but the images weren’t the worst part. Years of harassment and fiction sent to people they came in contact with, and spoofed/forged communications were what caused the most harm.

It’s a nobrainer about images but I for one could not stay sane if i had to explain to every new employer that there is overhead in hiring me in the form of violent emails from a stalker.

This isn’t a shruggie and be done with it story.
Regarding the conceptual modeling (a parallel concern to the author's desire for paradigms), Daniel Jackson [1] and his graduate student researchers at MIT have made great progress on clarifying the relation between concepts and purposes in software design recently, as well as beginning to collect an index (yet to be published).

There is a difference in engineering and programming. An engineer uses programming to solve an engineering problem. If all you can do is program, you're just not as valuable. Programming is one of many tools I use in my every day job as an engineer.

I think this goes back to being an expert in a "domain". Being able to apply programming to that domain is far more valuable.
