I did not leave a high paying job to start my own company but I rejected an offer and didn't collect others before I started my own company directly after finishing my studies.

I have a double Masters in Business Administration and the "traditional" way for students like me is to start as a consultant (McKinsey and the gang), investment banker or whatever. In Switzerland that meant a starting salary of at least six figures but money was not really a factor in my decision it was mostly based on the fact that I wanted to do what I liked.

In the year between my Bachelors and Masters degree I interned 6 months for a Swiss web/technology consulting company and 3 months for Accenture. Both experiences bored me to a degree I had not thought possible. It wasn't that I had no responsibility - which I had - or that the tasks were repetitive - they were only slightly - but I just wasn't faced with the challenges I was looking for. From quite early on I loved to create my own things and I realized that just was not possible in a corporate environment and I had to do something about it. My first plan - following conventions - was to be a part-time entrepreneur. I wanted to work at one of those strategy consulting companies and have my own thing on the side. When I look back that idea seems crazy but at that time I was convinced I could do both. But in March I talked to a successful Swiss Entrepreneur and he convinced me that this is an all or nothing game. Either I went all-in or I had to fold. I decided to go for it and haven't looked back.

As I said before money wasn't really a factor in this decision and that is for a few reasons:

1. I have a safety net through my parents. This obviously is a very comfortable situation that not everybody has.

2. I looked at my potential salary as opportunity costs and decided that it was worth the costs that I could do what I wanted.

3. If I need to I can still go work for those companies I decided to forgo now or another company. I have an excellent education and I see my entrepreneurial endeavors as an extension on that. Obviously after having been an entrepreneur for several years I probably won't fit into the mindset that Strategy consulting companies look for but there will be plenty of opportunities if need be.

4. I never had massive amount of money available to me. I always lived comfortably and still do but I was never a big earner and therefore don't have an expensive lifestyle to support. Also at the moment I don't have any responsibilities, no family, no children to support.

On a side note: The consequences of my decision to start my own business have not always been easy. One of the harshest things is that many of my friends now almost can swim in money but once I talk to them about their Job I am convinced to have made the right decision.

Ask HN: What's the average amount of time for a startup to break even?
1. After how much time does a start-up usually break even or become profitable?

2. If they aren't break even for too long, does that mean that their product just isn't adequate for the market?

3. After how much time being unprofitable do investors just decide that this company is not worth any more investments?

I would really appreciate to know these answers (or assumptions, experiences), since it would give me a better understanding of the probabilities of success for some start-ups I've been following.

Thanks!
Maybe this is part of some larger story that I'm not finding the links to, but which recruiters? How many? And for what industries? I can't imagine that each of the programs at any given school are of exactly the same quality.

You've to differentiate between introversion and shyness.
Introversion can't be overcome in the same way as shyness.

Introversion is a deep personal habit. If you don't like crowds,
than you will never be able to enjoy them as extrovert people.
You can get more used to them, but they will always exhaust you.

Shyness is more of a learnt habit, the result of missing interactions with
people and the result of a low self-confidence. When you interact more with
people and rise your self-confidence, than also the shyness will decrease.
This could be the most trivial bug I've ever read about. I like how some of the people commenting are treating it as some sort of major catastrophe.
What would've been great is if instead of just pointing out the flaws in testing methodologies, the OP picked out a few publications that do run the tests accurately. That way we could judge how seriously to take some of the claims of the X25-M successors, like the X25-E Extreme.

You take an example of people stealing a product and giving it away as evidence of the free market at work? wtf?

Most of the "free" stuff on the internet is paid for by advertising (which you pay for when you buy products) or serves as a loss leader.
Maybe it's because I've had a reasonable amount of exposure to the security measures taken by large companies (and the associated unpleasant legal measures that can be taken) but I follow these rules:

- No corporate data on personal devices (not even email)

- I expect to be given a work smartphone

- I use my own phone and iPad for personal stuff

- Assume that anything you do through a device attached in any way (even a VPN) to a corporate network may have everything you do monitored

Of course, these rules apply mostly when you are working for a large company, but even when you are in a startup you occasionally may have to work at a client site - and often these are large corporates.

It's a free ebook about Prolog. I started reading it some time ago, and looked very promising, with a balanced combination between theory and practice.

But, as with any other book about Prolog I've tried to read I hit a wall, and got stuck. Maybe I'm too dumb to grasp it, or just don't have enough time. I took some classes in college, and remember that never really "got it", just the enough pass the exams. I have tried to overcome that a couple times since then but it's harder when you have a job and a family.
... has anyone told Kieran?
Well I tried that once, on the basis of 'treat others like you want to be treated', so I listed the mistakes she made in her job interview at the end so that she could improve on those points in her next interview. I wasn't being an asshole about it, I did it very carefully, it was a very hard thing to do because I'm usually very nice to everybody, it's second nature to me to not ruffle any feathers, I really framed everything in objective terms, made sure to tell her why I did it etc.

Next thing you know I'm sitting there in the conference room with a crying girl, and I'm not talking a silent tear crying, I'm talking full-out wailing in a way that the secretary from another company 2 doors down (!) came to check up on us, to see what was going on. So I come out like a bumbling idiot trying to make up an excuse for what was going on to that secretary, trying to calm down the girl I was interviewing, and she probably still went back home telling everybody what a heartless bastard I was.

So now even when people ask I'm very careful to phrase any feedback in the most general terms. It sucks for those who could handle the honest feedback, and I hope that others that I will interview with in the future are braver than I am, but this 'giving honest feedback' hasn't worked out for me.
Hey, it's important to take the #JFDI concept and put it to this as well. I'm a very extroverted individual (makes sense since I focus on the actual business part of startups - non-tech) and I can say I have this same "shy and sheltered" personality about entering the engineering scene.

God knows, how much I would love to get into it, as I'm sure you would love to get into the whole social scene.

Don't worry about "where to start" "who to talk to" "what to learn and how". Just fucking do it. Although I'm not encouraging underage drinking, pick up a cup, don't get too crazy, have a good time.

While you are trying to be social and extroverted for maybe the first time of your life, the ONLY thing that is going to make you look awkward to your frat brothers or any other people is how YOU see yourself.

Don't hesitate, get out there, get knee deep into the scene and pretty soon you'll have friends who appreciate you and you will be able to be real open with all of them.

Go for it! And, no don't wait.. the harder your course load gets, the more excuses you'll make.

Some of my best friends today are guys I never would have met (or probably even liked, for that matter) without having shared the whole fraternity experience. And, I'm talking about the "boring" stuff when I say frat experience. Working on projects, figuring out creative ways to get 60+ guys to do something they didn't want to do, volunteering, etc., etc.

It's just like anything else, it's what you make of it, and what your trying to get out of it. I saw guys who were really good at all the social stuff, but never took a thing from the overall bigger experience and just kind of faded out. I also saw people who came in without all that (very shy, didn't know how to play games or whatever). They wanted to grow as a person, and gain experience being apart of a team, build leadership skills, and what not, they could and really did thrive, and became just amazing leaders later on.

To answer your questions though: Don't worry about it, and just be yourself! My fraternity would invite people over to hang out a few times or go watch some game or something before ever even talking about parties. This was a way to weed out people only interested in that. Not everyone just gets a bid to keep the organization alive like a few posters mentioned.

For your situation, (which isn't unusual, and probably everyone else is also worried about it) this would be an awesome time for you to "get in" and get to know guys in a non-party setting. Get to know people like that, and the social part will just fall into place. You'll be hanging out with new friends rather than being worried about being in a big crowd or drinking or whatever.

You got a lot of advice, so I won't go on. I do have things I didn't really like as well but overall it was a really great experience. E-mail me if you want more, there's a pretty good movie I can recommend that is the most "right on" portrayal of Greek life, and the lead character is some guy without any social skills who is concerned about the same things you are. (If you watch though, don't ever tell your brothers because they will make fun of you. However, always, always, be trying to figure out a way to bring it up in conversations with girls..)
You still get them as change from Post Office vending machines, but that's about the only place that uses them. Stores seem confused if you try to use them, so if I get a dollar coin from the Post Office's machines, I usually use them in parking meters, which (at least around here) take them just fine.

also most sites have a "forgot password?" link that works by sending you an email. In this sense, the email password is the master password.

Tests teach discipline, and they are the most practical way of testing knowledge in some areas. However, no matter how you make the metric, this problem is largely psychological.

To do well, a student must be motivated to learn. And one of the biggest motivators at this level is that "I always am at the top of my class in this subject, so I enjoy it." Not everyone can be at the top, so naturally the others won't care as much. They will stop trying to get an A and settle with "not failing." And the students who start failing will stop caring completely.

If you hide a student's ranking, then that initial motivation, "I do better than the others," disappears and we are left with students who must be entirely self motivated. And that happens so rarely that it isn't a practical motivator.
It's hard to tell what messages persuaded the MEPs to sign. Most are under their party whip, so don't have much say. UK MEPs appear to have signed in alignment with their respective political parties. So the Liberals signed, and engaged in debate, while the Tories ignored all correspondence and didn't sign. Ironic that it is these two parties that are currently sharing power in the UK, yet they have polarise stances on something fundamental to future trade, innovation, and growth.

More interesting are the smaller parties and independents. That's where things look very slimy. For example, UKIP, whom you would expect to favour complete UK autonomy, failed to sign and also would not debate.
Question is who won this battle when Verizon and Apple negotiated the iphone coming out next year. I'm guessing Verizon wasn't able to get any crapware on there but you never know, Apple really did want to expand beyond AT&T.

As far as Android, I get the sense that Google is not happy with this situation and they do have one big stick they can use, access to Android Market.
In the real world though, passwords aren't cracked nearly as often as they're read off a post-it note stuck to somebody's monitor.

Loosen complexity and you can eliminate that post-it. That's a huge overall win.

Complexity in itself isn't actually that bad. It's arbitrary complexity that spawns all those post-its. You can come up with a strong password that you and only you can remember, but it's useless if your bank rejects it due to its own silly complexity policy. There are sites out there that I regularly fail to log in with using my standard "strong" passwords, and it's not until I make it all the way through the Reset Password process to where it tells me its complexity requirement that I'm reminded which password I must have used last time I went through the process.

The only real solution is to let people use the word "password" if they really want. It's still orders of magnitude safer than having them keep a file/email/post-it full of plain text passwords sitting around in plain view.

Quite a few of the phones allow it (most of the HTC, the original Moto Droid, the Nexus One of course, etc.). I think even the Samsungs allow it.

For some of them (early HTC, etc.) the process exploits a hole. The install process for both is the same though: install new bootloader -> choose your flavor of Android.
But most of the politician do not understand the subtitles. They just see evil pirates and think, pirates bad, copying = theft, etc. When they do their job and listen and debate, then they generally get it. These are smart folk, it's just some are power junkies to the exclusion of all else, so constructive communication is nigh on impossible, or completely abstract at best.
I joined a small fraternity (or student association as they are called in the Netherlands) relatively late in my course. If I regret anything, it is not joining earlier.

It is great fun, and there is a lot in terms of social skills, working in groups, and fulfilling roles, that you will learn along the way. Don't worry about making a fool of yourself, because as long as you do it with a smile (and say sorry where due), people will like you for it :-) Drinking before you do this will also help :-)

And about making your pick: I'd go for a smaller one (~ 200 members), that you feel at home at. The people there will most likely be more diverse and welcoming.

I went through a (moderate) hazing, and even that is not too bad, as long as you remember that it is a game, and that it will only last for a specific amount of time. Running away is the only mistake you can make.
I remember reading "Erlang - A survey of the language and its industrial applications" (Joe Armstrong - in INAP'96)

Now I've checked again, so let me summarize:

It started to spread "outside the lab" in 1987. In 1995 there were three commercial applications: network simulator, mobility server and distributed resource controller. First is a simulator, not running on the specialized hardware, the third was running on "a network of Windows NT machines." The second: "acts as a call control system when linked to the PBX"

OK, the second was running on the additional SPARC-based machine, not big iron, but AFAIK certainly more powerful than the PC's of that time.

So I don't see anything that was targeting really "specialized hardware" particularly not what we'd think as embedded (less power consumption, slower processors than the PC CPU's). It was a research project, and it had traditionally performance problems.

Even today, after so many years, when you compare Erlang HiPe (Hi Perf, you can imagine others then!) with something higher than C, let's then say Lua JIT it's easy to see which one is faster:
