Hey, you can't change a quote and then respond to it trying to make me sound stupid.

This was my quote:

> If you have time to manage side projects in addition to being a startup CTO

And I stand by it. If you are running the tech side of a young company, and want to go home and code for 3 hours on another tech startup, I am not sure you are giving your full effort as CTO. (Because at a young startup, CTO is often title inflation for "head coder dude"). At a more established company where a CTO is more the political figurehead of tech, things are different. But I was not getting that vibe from OP.

And yes, the quote you invented for me

> If you have time to manage (side projects|hobbies|sleep|exercise|health)

All but side projects are things you SHOULD do as a CTO or founder. I would not look down on a guy I hired as a CTO having hobbies, or exercising, or sleeping. In fact I do all three.

But if I was in a company of 4 people and hired someone to be a CTO... and he went home to spend his spare time coding a similar product and wanted IP to stay his? I would not be so happy

Some comments:

1) The tagline at the top "since 1958" makes it seem like the website is since 1958, instead of the data. Obviously false, but may reduce trust.

2) The graph is good, I like it!

3) In the Data Sources section, it would be very helpful to have a link to the original data. Don't make me hunt for it. I was wondering if this was an average of multiple locations or from a single location.

4) It may be helpful to have a link or explanation about the yearly period of the CO2 level. Something like https://www.co2.earth/seasonal-co2-cycle.
So, SpaceX figured that the booster was actually a hazard and asked the Air Force to fix the problem. The Air Force is referring all questions to SpaceX and we really don't know what happened since there is no video or photographs of the strike.

Yes, engineered wood is a mainstay of construction. But all of those processes were and are set up to be able to process a large volume in a relatively short time and leave very little to no waste, and what waste there is is sold off as fuel.

Plywood - especially the higher grades - is amazing stuff. I visited a plywood factory in Ontario and it really opened my eyes to how clever and precise the manufacturing of various kinds of engineered wood is.
Trees and plants die off in the fall/winter, and grow back in the spring/summer.

Looks useful for QA testing of distributed systems. I can also see a use case where I snapshot the state of one container from a node in a cluster then pull it onto the next node as it starts up before joining. It could maybe make things converge quicker in blockchain applications as well, where each new node needs to get a copy of the entire chain before it can do useful work?
> Possibly because the followup studies might show that it is better for people's wellbeing and for the economy to do away with this nonsense.

To be fair, the US isn't exactly known for listening to studies that demonstrate improvements in people's wellbeing (cf health care, gun control, pollution control, etc.)
The root of this is really people making distributed systems when they don't need to. This microservices trend really is a massive waste of resources for most smaller teams that get caught up in it.

Exactly. The attrition rate part of the article is wrong. 18F hires on two year terms renewable for a second two years. At the end then, you are required to leave. So by definition the minimum attrition rate is 25%.
Brands come and go and get bought/sold and change production-values on such a regular basis that what was true 2 years ago isn't true now, and I find keeping up with the new brands on a regular basis is annoying. I also hate clothes shopping. So I'm not very brand-loyal. I love my AG "Protege" pants, but I'd switch in a heartbeat.

I rather like what Stitchfix and Trunk Club are doing. Trunk Club in particular but it's pretty expensive. They only do high-quality items and they're hand-picked by a stylist who knows your style & body-type to go with your existing wardrobe. I get much more use out of my Trunk Club items than I do others. But I stopped using TC because it's so expensive and I have a solid base wardrobe at this point and know how to add new items on my own every so often.

There are many good frameworks out there that are a viable choice.

The main reason should be the people you want to hire and how you structure your team. Also, you need to consider if you need high performance or data science

Rails - good choice to start off. Fast to bootstrap a product. If you do not need high performance, you can get old with it otherwise, you will move.

Java Spring - a lot of people know Java

Python - framework is not the fastest and modern, but python is a good skill to have in your team if you need data science

.net mvc -- became an interesting choice.

Elixir Phoenix - smallest community but fun to work with and awesome performance (like .net or spring) will scale very well.

Go/Iris -- best performance and easy to learn. Is missing strong abstractions but an awesome community and libraries.

Javascript (express) - ever changing environment. Your developers can work on frontend and backend. It's an advantage to have just one language.

My favourites are Go and Elixir but in the end, I would decide on the people you will hire.

How does it have a negative impact if you have more usable hours in the evening ?

Summer evenings don't get comfortable until after the sun goes down, before that it's usually too hot to spend outside in the sun. We should move the clock an hour in the opposite direction, so the hot parts of the day are during working hours (when you're in a nice airconditioned office) and the cooler parts are in the evening, when you want to sit in the garden and have a beer and a BBQ.
More likely it was a floating ITAR export risk than a major threat to marine safety.
We took a similar route. I was the customer of a business that was clearly hurting from a lack of automation and processes.

I let them know that I build software and am interested in their industry. I asked them if they would be willing to try my app and provide feedback. They said yes!

So, I got to work formulating a MVP feature list. I presented it to them and we iterated back and forth for a while. Then, I started building. More months of feedback and iteration ensued.

Once they’d been using the product for ~6 months we launched to the public.

Fast forward 4 years and we have ~1k customers.

It can be done! The first step is to talk to people, relate to them, and empathize with the issues they face in their business.
>> I don't understand why the concentration is relevant.

Well from the one part is sounds like the concentration is normal:

>> Schuster and his colleagues found their measurements were consistent with published data on mercury in non-permafrost and permafrost soils from thousands of other sites worldwide.

Once you realize that, the whole thing becomes a big alarmist scare. If the arctic melts that doesn't mean the mercury is going to suddenly migrate into the rest of the world. It will probably be taken up in arctic plants and wildlife in the same proportions it exists everywhere else. But they seem to want us to think this is some new lurking scary demon of climate change that's going to come get us.

I was hoping to read something interesting, like a hypothesis about why mercury was concentrated in the arctic but all I got was a finding that it's the same as everywhere else.

They would have understood that it was a hazard from the get-go, but presumably believed that they could render it safe, destroy it themselves, or tow it back intact. It would seem that they realized how unfeasible civilian EOD would be, and that necessarily ruled out any option save destruction.
That makes a lot more sense!
If daylight is centered at 12:00, then nighttime is centered at 00:00. But people's sleep habits aren't centered around midnight. Having noon at 12:00 conforms nicely to elementary school teachings of an idealized model, but it does not conform to actual people's actual habits and lifestyle preferences.
As someone who worked in a DOC agency for 5+ years doing security work, much of my job consisted of reviewing software for compliance and security before acquiring/installing it in our systems. Every time someone showed up with something 18F was doing, it involved far more bleeding edge cloudy stuff than we were able to accept.

In short, the shiny object that was 18F had a really hard time doing its job of integrating with the resistant, crusty old pillars of Federal Agency policy and technology.

Being hated on the basis of something one says is a good heuristic for me, as a free speech advocate, to decide whether or not I respect someone for their courage. So long as someone says something they think is important. Perhaps you do not agree with their journalistic methods but you're attacking the messenger and not the idea presented.
I assume if you're CTO, you've got some shares in the startup?
I'd see it as an opportunity to bring those projects into the startup and work in an official capacity on something you're already interested in and help improve the value of the business and, by inference, your shares. Everyone wins.

This only applies to certain areas in the world. In most parts of Europe, it hardly ever gets really hot during summer, so I guess many people would argue in the exact opposite direction.
Interesting decision. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when the decision happened. "We should probably ask the Air-force to destroy this. It may blow up on itself..."

Well, you could just adjust when you work. No reason to alter time to get this effect.

Personally, I haven’t noticed any more day with DST. I’d much rather have the daylight in the morning anyway!

Meanwhile, it’d be lovely to hear why you appreciate the “extra” time in the evening but don’t notice the missing hour in the morning, and why you’re ok with that.
What do you think freedom of the press refers to? It's the printing press. Literally designed for the sole purpose of mass redistribution.

Not everyone observes DST. And not everyone changes between DST and non-DST at the same time. London and New York, for example, change clocks on different weeks.
Not really true. Many laws still on the books in southern states were created _explicitly_ to persecute minority groups.

You couldn't use the same logic to say insider trading unfairly effects white people because there isn't evidence that enforcement of insider trading is uneven, whereas there is evidence that enforcement (and sentencing) for loitering, jaywalking, and drug laws are biased against minority groups
1) good point! Suggestions for a better tagline?

3) We’ll get that added!

I like DST for all of the reasons outlined here: http://www.leancrew.com/all-this/2013/03/why-i-like-dst/

The alternatives are worse. Either you drop DST and the sun rises at 4 in the morning in the summer or you stay on DST permanently and the sun rises after 8 in the winter.

In Scandinavia you have minimum of 25 days paid time off every year, by law. So work life balance is sane by default unless you work the cray hours at Banks or McKinsey et al.

Devil’s advocate: why don’t we all just use UTC? Get rid of time zones, those are only a human conveniences as well...
Yes, this seems to be just a request for a proposal. It is still promising though.
Well, the point of changing time twice a year is because the transition happens twice a year (equinoxes). DST isn't exactly on the date of the equinoxes.
Sorry, I didn't understand any of those sentences.
Many interpretations of light weight though, I would say GitLab is light weight in the sense that it's really easy to get going and define jobs. If you wanna interpret it as a light weight install procedure, then I guess no. Depends on your infrastructure already in place.

"Startup CTO" is like "food". Broccoli and Ice Cream are both food.

We are talking at too high of a level to make any sweeping statements (food is what you need for a healthy breakfast!) that will be relevant to all people calling themselves a startup CTO.
Definitely. Please HN mods, let's have the black bar tribute today.
Generally, when a country changes its currency or changes the side of the road it drives on, that change is either permanent or very long term.

For lining up natural light with human activity, a shift that lines it up for the middle of summer throws it off for the middle winter, and vice versa, so if you want to keep things lined up it means shifting twice a year. That makes it quite different from a currency or road driving side change which happens very rarely.

If you are going to do it twice a year, it makes much more sense to change the clocks than to change the clock time that things occur, because changing the clock time of events means changing all of the places where we print the clock times of upcoming recurring events. It's easier, less expensive, and less error prone to change the clocks rather than the event times.

Events in the past are easy: all you really need is UTC time, but if you store local time and the offset from UTC (and optionally the tzdata timezone name) that works too.

For dates in the future, you need to store local time, the timezone name, and the calculated offset for that time. When the database changes, you need to check if the offset changes, and if so, think hard about what that means. Also, some future events are more appropriately scheduled for local time wherever the person happens to be, which is tricky too.
Or! Or! How about we don't try to control all of society by shoving long levers into its foundation stones and heaving on them as hard as we can?

If natural light matters, leave people alone to arrange their own schedules to make better use of it. Schools in the US will generally arrange their start times around bus schedules, because they don't have enough vehicles or enough drivers to transport every student in their county or municipality at once. If you start forcing mandates down their throats, they will lose the flexibility to implement locally-appropriate solutions to their own local problems.

In general, though, teenagers have a retarded diurnal cycle in comparison to younger children and adults. They naturally wake up later, and fall asleep later. Older students are already starting school too early (7 AM? Really?) The obsession some legislators have with the supposed benefits of daylight savings time has made that problem even worse.

Teenagers are miserable and irritable enough from the hormonal changes without throwing gasoline on the fire by making them continuously exhausted and sleep-deprived as well. And I'm sure any night-owl faculty are not happy about it either.

The optimal time solution for society (currently) is to make sure that civil time is the same as the nearest metropolis, and for the metropolises to set their clocks such that local mean solar noon lands somewhere between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM, and the minute portion is synchronized to mean solar noon at 0 degrees longitude, and then leave the whole system the hell alone.

Time is a measurement system. Daylight savings makes as much sense as pulling the platinum-iridium standard meterstick out of its climate-controlled vault twice a year and pounding on it with hammers to make it longer or shorter. It allows us to lie to ourselves about what our facts are. And that leads to bad decisions by people who have been misinformed with incorrectly measured data.

> VS/Razor kind of don't work so well together in terms of notifying developers of errors while refactoring unless you actually have all of your views open in tabs in VS.

Two things:

1.) ReSharper full solution analysis should bring those errors up. I wouldn't leave it on all the time, but flipping it on/off occasionally works wonders.

2.) Even without that, turn on the option to compile your views when you build. It's not super graceful (you'll have to fix one error at a time), but at least you won't accidentally ship a broken view!
That's intentionally misleading. If it's not largely accurate the disclaimer should be "inspired by".
