Founders do not treat their company as "just a paycheck". They're not just turning up to punch the clock. Early on, the company is their life -- their efforts determine its success, and their company's success is their own success

Yes because they have a hope for a larger reward later.....

The same goes, to a lesser extent, for early employees.

Them not so much.

For instance Marco Arment was the first engineer at Tumblr. The exit was for $1 billion. He is rumored to have received less than $6 million.
I updated to Ghost 2.0 last night and did not end well, though I managed to fix it by going to a sunken place looking for ghost.service. Hopefully in the next update it would be more stable.

Also, one more thing I would like Ghost to improve is there SEO. My website hosted on DO is just 2-3 pages behind. Some of my posts don't even make it even the obvious meta and title.
Great, that's what I wanted from containers, more systems to run.
I call bullshit on this analogy.

If it required similar skills to a human standing on a basketball, then a Helicopter is an monumental engineering failure.
Almost all the early employees I have met in successful startups have been towering contributors to say the least. Many of them enjoyed very very comfortable jobs in FANG (or equivalent money companies) before taking this up OR moved into one afterwards.

Unless the startup founders themselves are technically up to the bar required, I would think this is going to require huge motivation to make folks like that join. That can be either in the way of convincing them with your software potential enough for them to make the switch OR a ton of money/equity (And not FANG level money, even better). I would go with the latter in 90+% of cases, probably both.

IOW - I don't think we have a proper market place today that serves these high tier developers who will single handedly make or break it for you. I don't think the normal recruiting methods apply to excellent established candidates. You might luck into one, but it is going to be real hard unless you draw from known sources.

FWIW, I am very curious if there is one such premium marketplace as well. (Sorry if this sounds gentrifying, but there are a bunch of engineers I know whose gross comp is close to 1MM/yr or more and I don't think you are going to find them prowling LinkedIn or responding to regular methods anytime soon. Anecdotally I do believe many of them have the capacity to do magic technically though).
> 1. Immediate improvements to the conditions of prisons and prison policies that recognize the humanity of imprisoned men and women.

This probably ought to include something like the following: "...including an immediate ban on solitary confinement as a disciplinary measure."

Otherwise we will have a multi-decade "conversation" about whether "time in the hole" actually constitutes torture.

Remember, this is the country that brought you "enhanced interrogation techniques" and marijuana as a schedule I controlled substance.
There is something weird about the percentage dialog - contributors graph. The line doesn't look like it goes through the points.

But, as "First Engineer", you get maybe 1/25th or 1/50th the equity of a founder, and you might join 3 months after the company's "founding" pre-product / pre-product market fit. The company might pivot substantially 5 times before finding fit, or might not find fit at all, or it might take 10 years to see any benefit in the 1% of cases where the company does make it.

I'm not disagreeing with your comment, but if the reason you join is to work on hard problems with passionate people then there ought to be a strong reason why it makes sense to be engineer #1 and not yourself a founder.

> There's a limit, and then you get throttled.

There is no a priori limit at which you get throttled. If there is no congestion, you can exceed your limit and not get throttled. Even if you get throttled, you don't get cut off, just slowed down.

There's certainly more accurate ways to describe that than "unlimited" but I don't think it's particularly egregious compared to U.S. marketing in general.

Commercial "underage" content can get away with it because they always have the 2257 records to back it up. That's as much a certification of its fictional status as one can get.

There are no 2257 records for prostitutes. And prostitution itself is illegal. When you're at the point where you're setting up filters to govern the facilitation (not prohibition!) of an already illegal trade, obscuring the fact that ad subjects for non-fictional services may also be underage doesn't buy you any deniability.

Once you demonstrate knowledge, it's game over. That company selling encrypted phones to cartels, the guy building smuggling compartments in cars, Ross Ulbricht, and now Backpage...all demonstrated that they knew what business they were in and did it anyway. Hell, pre-legalization, the stoners at your local bong shop had better OPSEC than most of these clowns-- you mention marijuana in their store and they'd kick you out and refuse to do business with you, since they didn't want to be caught admitting they were selling drug paraphernalia, just "tobacco pipes, man."

I was diagnosed with sever panic disorder in my early twenties. I tried everything (therapy, medication) but nothing really helped.

I eventually became agoraphobic and wouldn't leave my house.

I did a 10-day vipassana meditation course (http://dhamma.org), where you can't read or write or listen to music or talk. You basically just meditate the whole time.

I had very bad panic attacks during the 10 days, but eventually meditation actually helped me to deal with it.

I'm now in my forties and meditation is the only thing that truly helps me with panic attacks.
My 2c as a former Gusto employee:

The watermelon interview was no joke and not a rubber stamp. I wasn't on the watermelon crew but it was a real badge of honor at Gusto to "represent" Gusto's values.

When we hired 200+ people from 2015-2016 across two offices, the watermelon interview was critical to make sure we were hiring the right culture fit Gusties.

Glad to see this covered by FRV and posted on HN.

>and realize you and your index funds are still in the minority.

Quite the opposite. Index fund are busy eating the world alive.

If you've got massive money flowing into the top 100 in the index thanks to ETFs the smart money is on companies 101 - 120. Similar risk profiles to the top 100 but their price earnings profile hasn't been distorted yet but the wave of incoming index wave.

Passive is indeed the truth but don't swallow it wholesale...you're just buying into a top 100 self-reinforcing bubble that has no economic backing without realising it.
Well, sure. It's not like a human is on the other end checking the final "ok" before throttling somebody's data speed because they have exceeded some threshold.
It's more like Samsung advertising a "2.8 GHz processor" with an asterisk, when in reality it'll throttle far below that after a minute or so of load: https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-s9/specs. Or Olive Garden advertising "unlimited soup and breadsticks" when in reality waiters will start giving you dirty looks after a certain number of refills. Or a company selling a firewall that can do 10 gbps but only with no security features turned on. Marketing that's only true under specific conditions is pervasive, not just something in the telecom industry.

I think what you're describing may be a batch sceduling system, such as PBS or LFS.

Those seem to be rarer, since the legitimate use case for a distributed system (what used to be called "grid computing") were rare.

Nowadays, I assume everyone just uses Yarn on Hadoop, when they think scaling "up" ends at a mid-range 2U server. I don't know how good its actual time-of-day/calendar based scheduling is, though.
A few prisons do pay min wage, like some Arizona prisons that allow outside contractors but generally inmates can't access the funds until they are released (to prevent extortion from other inmates) which means walking out with a lot of savings after a 5 yr bid.

> "We made a mistake in how we communicated with our customer about the terms of its plan," Verizon said. "Like all customers, fire departments choose service plans that are best for them. This customer purchased a government contract plan for a high-speed wireless data allotment at a set monthly cost. Under this plan, users get an unlimited amount of data but speeds are reduced when they exceed their allotment until the next billing cycle."

So it was a government plan, not a consumer one. Judging by their response, it sounds like the Verizon rep that sold them the plan told them it was unlimited, and the fire department didn't read the fine print closely enough.
I'd say GP is correct, but only insofar as that Redis Labs hasn't changed it yet:

They can. I remember a field trip back in university (maybe even high school, it was years ago) to an emergency response center. They had a medevac helicopter with auto-hover, where the pilot could just hit 'position hold' and it would hover there while they winched someone to safety.

I'd imagine the reason a DJI drone's capabilities are so much greater than those of a helicopter carrying passengers is that the former can fall out of the sky every now and then and it's no big deal. The latter has to pass a whole lot of rigorous FAA (or equivalent) testing.
Rkt didn't get much attention in 2017 at all. I only said that because 'rkt' was often portrayed as the anti-docker years ago, and it's really no longer a good way to look at the playing field.

It wasn't about making fun of rkt or anything. Also, I don't know, CRI has been in the works for ages at this point, as well as crio. It just seems like people who aren't paying attention in this space remember HN threads from 18-24 months ago where people thought rkt was going to be the savior from docker. It's just pretty out of date.

The comment about vagrant and a dedicated server embody an attitude that is just depressing to me. Yes, if you stick with old, functional technologies, you won't need to pay attention and/or learn anything new. And that's fine, if you're happy with it. There's a reason the rest of us moved on. Learning about CRI and knowing that rkt is dead and crio is the alternative to containerd is not that crazy of knowledge to have, or maybe I'm underestimating how much I know in the k8s space.
If you want people to take you seriously when you say "there's horrible things in the indictment", seems like it would be productive to actually be able to cite those things.

> Even if you pay your #1 employee at market rate he is taking huge risks and should be compensated accordingly. Working at an early stage company often comes with huge job insecurity, loss of medical benefits more mature companies might be able to offer (better insurance etc.)

Sorry, but no. Jobs are very easy for a good dev. You are taking no zero risk as engineer #1 at a startup if your pay is market rate.

> and a possible kink in your CV (3 years at Microsoft look much better than spending 3 years at an unsuccessful company that eventually shut down).

To who? I would hire the 3 failed startup guy any day over the 14 years at Microsoft guy.

> To sum it up, I would expect a #1 engineers equity to be at least half of a founders equity AND payed at near-market rate.

Haha. I mean I guess it's fair to expect that. Maybe someone would give it to you. To me, it sees like a very inflated value of self worth if you are wanting to take little to no risk but then reap MOST of the benefits of being a founder.

If you went to an unlimited buffet and found out that you could only get one 'full' plate, then every other plate could only have one small piece of food and only once every hour, you'd be yelling about false advertising.

Which is much different than

"Unlimited 4G Internet", then a bunch of small text about the limits.
The content of the story is better than the headline. On a side note unfortunately higher quality news sources are falling for the addictive clicks of more clickable headlines (not necessarily clickbait but definitely more emotive), and so it's hard to know when posting stories from WSJ, Washington Post etc whether to change headlines from the original as they often feel like they fall in a grey area.

Maybe, maybe not.

Startups offer a lot of non-financial benefits over working at the big established companies.

1) Looser culture. Less likely to have a dress code or an attendance policy.

2) Less meetings, more coding. For someone that wants to get stuff done, way more to do in a startup.

3) Sense of purpose. A huge part of life satisfaction is doing something that actually matters. WAY easier to do this when you are shipping a product to actual customers vs sitting between 6 layers of management at google writing code to improve ad conversion by 0.1%

Yes, you can get the same grades of helicopter license as you can a fixed-wing license: private, commercial, and airline-transport pilot. Most people who get a commercial and an ATP also pick up an instructor rating along the way, but that is mostly orthogonal to the other three.

Not having a backup doesn’t not mean that no failure is possible, that is a very odd thing to say.

Automatic transmissions fail all the time, and then the car stops moving. Ok for cars but serious problem for flight so these aircraft have multiple automatic and manual redundancies.

Helicopter autopilots are indeed full guidance systems like fixed wing aircraft, but they can hold the craft in hover position because it's just another flying position possible for helicopters, but it is still actively flying.
In that case, I'd expect a similar number of errors in the favor of the customer.

If there is an absence of those, it's not benign.
> The filesystem is a shitty database. Thought we’d all learned that by now.

How dare you :) "The" filesystem is a great database.. for certain applications. Big, binary blobs of video, store, and even index, particularly well!

I think what the collective "we" haven't learned is to avoid trying to think about scale intuitively (rather than "doing the math") and to avoid extrapolating from the trivial scenario.

It's why "latency numbers every programmer should know" is still a thing.

One benefit you get with powershell to powershell remoting is that the output of the commands come back as objects rather than text. You can even use "implicit remoting" (not sure if that's the marketing term) to make the remoting part of it transparent to your automation - see Import-PSSession.
