This "charge for commercial use" model was tried -- shareware -- and was an economic failure. It's advocated against by most organizations, like FSF and Creative Commons.

At most you see a "this is GPL but I wrote it so I'll give you a license to not follow the GPL for my code". Which is a quite different thing.
It’s hard to gauge the Series B vs C because Company B’s product could just be significantly more cash intensive.

Could you shed some light on the two companies/focus areas?

Some posters have made good points that on paper Company A’s equity should be worth more to you, but either way you need a liquidation event for you to make money off the equity (unless either offers a tinder or palantir item where you can sell a % of your shares every 12-18 months to the company).

I’d choose whatever company’s mission/work seems more appealing to you. If you have a family, I’d likely choose the one with the higher base salary as $20k isn’t a small sum wlhen it comes to the cost of raising a family. For someone who is just on their own, it’s easier at times to accept a higher risk threshold and opt for more equity if the company’s path to a liquidation event seems more relevant.

Honestly speaking, I’d have to imagine that considering those offers that Company B wouldn’t match or come close to the base salary of Company A. $20k is a drop in the bucket for what I’m assuming is a technical hire as your work should easily cover that difference.

I like this. Some thoughts:

* The gif demo is nice, but you should make it a lot shorter (remove typos and speed it up). Bring it to the point.

* The only use case I see is to create a branch and do a commit in one step (which is a common use case, as I often forget to create a new branch before coding). However, I can achieve this with a simple git alias. I wish to see some more real-world use cases using your tool.

My invoices say $20/yr per .com; other TLDs are more expensive. Because we have a ton of domains we spend over $20k a year with them. I'm sure there is a minimum but I don't know what it is these days.

I would not say MarkMonitor is a tool for startups. It's a tool for organizations that would lose a lot if they lost a domain. I bet Zoho wishes they could go back in time and spend $10k to avoid this problem they had.
If you're working for yourself I suppose I can understand that.

Huh, for me free lunch means the company takes an interest in the well-being of its employees (fixd). This may differ from area to area, though. But I find it more social and relaxing to just eat inside, than having to spend energy and time on finding a place to go out and eat.

To all the naysayers: Did you know that there were massive DDT campaigns to wipe out mosquitoes in Europe and the USA, which means you no longer suffer from malaria in Mississippi or Italy? Italy was only declared malaria-free in 1970.

The proposed measures have much lower environmental risks than the DDT ever did. Saying this shouldn't be used is effectively pulling up the ladder behind you. Go to Mozambique or DRC, get malaria, and then use the same health care the locals have access to. Hope to hell you don't have Cerebral Malaria (20% mortality rate with treatment). Then come back and complain about the environmental risks of wiping out 1 of over 15 mosquito species, which primarily feeds on humans anyways.
"This isn't like in China."
At $5,500 per month is that to rent or buy?

I currently spend about 25% of my after-tax salary on rent and I consider it too much for me.

$66,000 => $264,000 after-tax.
Californian marginal income tax bracket for $52k - $268k is 9.3%
So $264,000 after-tax => $291,000 pre-tax (I know that's not how tax brackets work but I'm just estimating)

And that must be base salary since you can't pay rent or buy food with stock options.

On Glassdoor a SENIOR developer at Google in SF shows as only $170,000.

So can someone either tell me where can I get a $300k job as a MID LEVEL developer or tell me how on earth the author considers $5,500 per month an affordable housing cost?

Side note: My marginal income tax rate in Australia is 37%... I feel absolutely robbed looking at these California tax rates
I like Pandora - I don't feel like creating my own playlists and Pandora does a pretty good job of playing music I like after a few thumbs up/downs.

Ah, yes. That one is annoying, indeed. For the keyboard, on at least one playthrough, I think I counted the number of slider positions so you could solve it by the index of the keys on the keyboard.

I agree with most people here that A is the better choice on paper.

Your comments on B seem confusing to me. Options are typically granted with a strike price of whatever the 409A assessment of the fair market value is at the time of the grant. So if they already raised a C round, the ship has sailed on the "Series B" strike price. Anybody who tells you otherwise is probably either lying or misinformed.

So, what you're getting with Company B is more options with a higher strike price. Keep in mind that the strike price is what you pay to purchase the stock that you may then sell at market price. There are also taxes due at exercise. Your net profit from options issued this late in the company's journey, after a liquidity event, is likely to be small because the strike price is so high and the company has already achieved much of its growth prior to your grant.

For instance, if the company IPOs at $15 and your strike price is $7, figuring the fully loaded taxes to be around 40%, you will only make ($15-$7)*0.6=$4.80 per share. To get a more realistic expected value, you should also assign some probability your company will never have a liquidity event or will but under unfavorable circumstances that render your options worthless (e.g. after a down round of financing). The market value of your options during the liquidity event needs to be several times your strike price for it to become a very interesting amount of money.

I recently went through an IPO with my company. The options I vested over four years are about $60k in the money. I count myself lucky that I'm seeing any money at all from them, but really I would have been better off to jump ship a long time ago to a BigCo with RSUs that offer a more certain return.

If you really like Company B, tell them the going rate seems to be what A offered as base. With their recent funding, there's a good chance they'll bump you up if it seems like you're going to go with the other company.

At the now public company, it wasn’t a %, but just a grant mix of options post IPO and a grant of RSUs as well because of some funny timing with the IPO.

I only planned on staying a year before moving so I didn’t negotiate any stock into the initial comp package, but later re-negotiated that into the plan which resulted in the weird timing around IPO so have a weird mix of options and RSUs.

(As the commenter to whom you replied) I agree with your points and observations, but which social network doesn't devolve to the basest desires of humans — the desire to be liked and appreciated, wanting to show off a perfect side, etc. — after reaching a certain volume of users (and more so after being taken over by a large company that thrives on such content)?

Instagram has been susceptible to the same effects, but as others have mentioned, with a small and curated list of people to follow, it's probably a nicer place to be (compared to other platforms like Facebook, Twitter, etc.) when it comes to online social interactions.

That said I couch my words with "maybes and probablies" all the time by habit. I suppose it just feels more precise? I save hard assertions for when I mean them.

Its not like Zoho is known for their high availability anyways, their domain not being reachable is just par for the course.

Also since it said "suspended for abuse complaint", I would almost immediately assume the Zoho just didn't properly handle abuse claims and its their fault.

Needless to say I have a incredibly low opinion about their "service" based on having used their mail product for almost a year (switched to google afterward).
Hence roommates. $5500/month split 2 ways is $2250/month, which would still be ridiculous in any other city but is doable on a $130-140K base. Split 4 ways (that's doubling up in a bedroom) it's $1125/month, which is basically how non-tech-workers do it.

I am going to stick to the ecosystem (Apple, Google or Microsoft) from now-onwards. Too many email apps tried - Sparrow, Mailbox, Newton, Inbox and now this.

Author here (very happy to see this on HN). I have done exactly that (automated "next slide" and audio playing at specific slides) but haven't contributed back to the repo yet. It took just a few lines of code in my slideshow, without requiring to modify the library (one example of why I claim that it is "hackable").

I defined a Vue component "next-step(after=5)" which triggers a next slide after 5 seconds, and an "audio(source, timeSegment)" component which just plays an audio. Then your slideshow looks like that:

slide(steps=2)
next-step(:after="2" v-if="step === 2")
audio("hello.mp3")

Brand damage is a good point, but I believe that most genuine customers will not go to strange websites or obscure app stores to download your app, and those who do probably aren't the sort of "customers" you'd want. Hence, I couldn't see why it's much of a problem. The genuine user will more than likely just download it on Google Play. If there were people ripping off your app and putting it on Google Play, that would be different and worth worrying about.

I'm curious why my original question was downvoted. I thought it was a valid question.

Well you must not spend must time on Snapchat, my friend. Literally 50% of the app (the pane to the left) is only your friends. If the content is bad for you, then that is a you problem, not a platform problem. You can't even scroll your IG feed for more than a few minutes (at most) without an ad or "Sponsored Content".

Personally, I actually even find some of Snapchat's "For You" section useful as well — I usually only see stories from NYT, WaPo, or other news/informative content providers. The ads are surprisingly avoidable, and much less prevalent than Instagram.

Ambrosia: 'Young blood' transfusions launching first clinic
The one thing I dislike about Patreon (which I notified them about as well) is that I need a subscription for everything. Say I have a few dollar of disposable income I just want to donate to opensource indiscriminately I need to make a choice of which. And there are only so many levels (each with a baseline) in Patreon that a lot of smaller projects get left out.

I would like to have just one amount per month that gets withdrawn that I don't have to think about any further. And that just gets distributed over projects. With the idea that a lot of micro payments make more than a few big payments.

You can even explain monads purely in programming terms, without reference to category theory.
I'm unclear on their readme. Right at the bottom, they seem to suggest that once runC implements rootless containers, it will be a superior solution since it conforms to the Open Containers Initiative.

Checking runC's GitHub, they merged a rootless container branch into their master branch a year ago. A related blog post says it's now inside Docker so very well used.

So does Docker now provide containers that can guarantee immunity from (certain) privilege escalation attacks?

Would you move to Docker/runC?
I think the simple thought experiment is:

Imagine the famous two slit experiment. In this version we will fire electrons at the slits, one at a time. Put a very accurate spring balance behind each slit and measure the gravitational attraction of the electron as it goes past.

The author then claims, "The description that General Relativity puts forth ... needs to be augmented to include an uncertain position that has a probability distribution to it."

Does that follow? Wouldn't, say, the Pilot Wave Theory avoid the need for GR to change?
For me it would be the convenience of not having to choose which project I do and do not donate to (as each project has a baseline donation amount (even $1) to make it cost-effective (ie: paypal fees), so I have to make a choice to divide the amount I'm willing to donate each month.

I can thus dispose some money each month and feel that I'm donating (even if it's just a few cent) to every project I use. If more people find this easy, a lot of small donations will make a big one.

Oh, right. He also specifies mid-level developer (eg. Senior SWE or higher). I assume he means someone who's been working at a FAANG or late-stage startup for a couple years at least; by then, your stock options have started to vest and you can cash them out. Including stock mid-level compensation is usually well in the $300Ks for Bay Area large tech companies.

You actually can pay for rent or food with stock at a public tech company; just sell it immediately upon vesting. Many mortgage brokers will consider it part of your income for the purposes of qualifying for a mortgage. For non-public late-stage companies, you can often get liquidity in secondary market sales; the banks don't like this and usually won't count it toward mortgages, but once it's cash it pays for rent the same as anything else.
Yes, this is my thought as well. It simply does not follow that the two alternatives are a probabilistic stress energy tensor or a violation of the uncertainty principle.

Since quantum mechanics describes electrons as a field and not as a particle with position and momentum, there is always the possibility that an extension to the field or a function of the field itself can generate a classical stress energy tensor.
