I was a PM straight out of college and know many PMs straight out college. Both at the big companies like Google and smaller companies.
Engineering is a discipline that requires and rewards rigour. It isn't just travel budgets. Just compare how you do hiring vs those other departments, or how work is reviewed, or assigned, or performance measured. I bet you anything the engineering teams will be vastly more systematic, frugal and rigorous than marketing, HR, PM, account managers etc.
I have similar memories from my childhood in the 80's. We lived in Savannah and would make the trek to North Georgia several times a year to visit my mom's family. I can remember the headlights illuminating a sea of bugs like a light snow and the bigger ones popping loudly on the windshield from time to time. Having a full reservoir of wiper fluid was crucial and my dad would let me scrub the windshield whenever we stopped for gas.

I drive down to the Georgia coast or down to the gulf through Lower Alabama a least a couple times every year and it's rare to have anything of real size burst on the windshield.
You are of course free to do this, but you bring up 3 points, let's inspect them.
I'm assuming you're being underpaid by $6k or more a year.

1: Fair, but should you worry about getting fired? Even if you are in danger, if save 2/3 of your paycheck for every month of work you can afford a month of unemployment with no adjustment in lifestyle, that's already large, but you could increase this padding by having a market-conforming salary.

2: Is this worth $500+ a month to you? If so, I'd suggest you seek a therapist, because that is a much healthier long-term way to solve this problem.

3: Well yes... You can also try to not worry about it while earning more.

A nice company, normal hours and a good and interesting job is certainly worth an enormous intangible amount!

However, all things being equal I would not recommend you keep being intentionally underpaid.
Sendgrid has always had that “top of the line” experience. You know you can always count on them. I’ve worked with them several times over the past 6 years sending 10 mil / month and about 300k / month with zero issues. Inbound did have a hiccup with their SPF/DKIM checks though.

SES isn’t really comparable (a lot more work on your part). Mailgun has been doing some really good work though.

I strongly prefer coding in normal fonts instead of typewriter fonts. This is the primary reason that tabs are better than spaces. Working with a proportional width font in a space-indented file is always trying.
Technically yes, but the injury is de minimis so McDonald's isn't likely to demand recompense in this situation.
Let's see how far can we take this ridiculous bullshit. If some business discriminates against blacks, is it fraud to intentionally misrepresent oneself as white?
Your argument fails hard at point #1. A ticket buyer, through merely the act of purchasing a ticket, isn't making a material representation.

You should have argued contract law. That's perhaps a winning argument. Civil Fraud isn't because you'd have to argue that the simple act of clicking a "buy" button on a web-site is akin to a representation, and by extension a misrepresenting, an argument which you'd never win.

The fact your example ("I am traveling to ILM from SFO") literally never would be spoken or written, just inferred, should have been a clue. You've constructed that example-misrepresentation from nothing more than making a purchase, it doesn't hold up to basic scrutiny.
Start with Why:

Aside from the ability for others to see your resume, what are you looking for in a tool?

What data do you want this tool to both store and keep private from others? What tasks with that data to you want this tool to enable you to do?
yeah - I mean no matter how bad is is, it can always be worse! There's a sort of nihilistic worldview implied by these statements from usually-smart, usually-young folks that I don't think they actually believe. it's just an intellectual tantrum, i think.
Real-world race condition! In the same period I remember the copiers in my college library would debit their magstripe cards about 1-2 seconds after the 'copy' button was pressed. A frugal / amoral user could easily eject the card, reinsert, copy the next page, eject, reinsert...
Glass door is slippery. Job titles can be really specific. But obviously it is not the case that a software engineer with 10+ years of experience, in San Francisco, makes $135k.
I used to be a Rails developer, but in today's JS ecosystem I've found most of it can be replaced by full-stack JS.

This is seriously great work. Thanks to all involved for making it happen. My one quibble is, why limit this to only female founders? Male founders can also experience sexual harassment and coercion from authority figures. I am speaking from personal experience.

Although the specific form of harassment may be sexual, fundamentally it isn't about sex. It's about abuse of power.

To be clear, I am 100% behind all efforts to reduce harassment in all forms, and I am aware that the % of female founders who have experienced harassment is higher than males. But I guarantee that the male % is greater than 0, and it would be constructive to have these perspectives included in future work.
Methinks it's time for an anti-trust investigation on Google like the one on Microsoft during the Internet Explorer heyday.

At the same time, I don't trust the US has institutions that haven't been sabotaged by successive US administrations (from both sides) in their capacities to pursue anti-trust investigations of this sort.

Europe to the rescue?
It isn't just the internet connectivity. There are devices that are controlled by wireless handsets. Even it those handsets aren't internet connected, they constitute a potential vulnerability.

I recently worked on an insulin pump that was both wirelessly controlled and potentially internet connected. Unit tests and communications security seemed to be an more of an afterthought than anything.

It's such a minor thing when it comes to our day to day but becomes truly terrifying when you put it all together and look at the big picture. I've noticed the same thing about wild-life in general whenever I visit my favorite places from childhood - whether it's the reefs around Australia, the tide pools in Baja, or the inland empire desert I grew up in. Looking at actual research just makes it worse: a third of microorganisms in the upper marine layer have died off from pollution, almost all species considered keystone predators are gone or going extinct, and the climate is jumping off a cliff.

At first I thought it was an effect of aging (changes in nostalgia and awareness) but after moving back to one of the cities I lived in and talking to the local bird watching society, it seems to be happening everywhere on massive scales.

And so, slowly, we boil.
I was just talking about this with my co-workers. Rails has so much built in and has been refactored and cleaned up so many times that, if you are just trying to build a web application with a reasonable authentication system, it's a great platform to know.

It's very fast to first real web app request (not just a hello world response) and many of the concepts will translate to another platform.
How can that be? You can remotely update the system that does autopilot, and autopilot must have control over throttle/brake/steering.

Even shutting off the lights or disabling the wipers can create big problems.
My single comment doesn't pain a whole picture. I work a lot but not to the point of burnout.

I don't know. I love the product we've built and I find challenge through iterating on the big ideas. Sometimes I like to go back in the code and improve non critical things. Maybe I'm just a workaholic?
What would the recompense be? They hold you hostage until you eat all the fucking fries they paid you to eat?
This is a phenomenal list, and quite inspiring if you look at it in the right light. Hindsight is 20/20 and VCs make plenty of mistakes.

This, imho, is the biggest reason people don't update their software. They've caught onto the fact that the term "updates" is misleading, and it would be better call it an "anti-feature delivery mechanism".

This is why we need two separate channels for updates: One for security, and the other for features.
3D Print Real Tools, Not Toys
There was a HN thread about this. Might be outdated by now but here it is: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11229700
The GP has a valid criticism - why weren't men included in the survey? That criticism does not detract from the results w/r/t to female founders in any way.

> I’m sure if men within YC experience this kind of behaviour they can use the same reporting tools on bookface.

I strongly suspect you're correct, but without seeing the tool I can't say for sure. Even so, the GP's criticism was "why weren't men included?", not "why aren't men able to report and act against sexual harassment?"

I think men not being surveyed created an unhealthy environment for discussion - not because men experience harassment at the same level as women, but because they missed an opportunity to show that and as a community we get the very sort of conversations occurring in this thread. The GP voiced a criticism, and you seem to have taken it to mean that the GP felt that men's experiences are more important. I don't believe that was the intent going in to this project, nor do I believe that was what the GP intended.
Check this file out, it's in the example that's provided:

As someone who works with a lot of American expats, what's stopping you from opening a brokerage account at Interactive Brokers or Charles Schwab? That's what my colleagues seem to do.
I don't disagree that people are doing that, kind of. I don't think it's nefarious though, or some plot against Trump or potential plot against Trump. I think the simplest explanation is merely that real estate is a great vehicle to park capital for foreign nationals. NYT's ran a piece about this a few years ago with people hiding their money in real estate in markets like New York, Nashville, Atlanta, etc. It was largely Chinese money. The fear is if there is a longer than expected "trade war" and this property becomes sold in quick succession leading to a crisis to shore up balance sheets in East Asia.

China will not admit it, but I have heard ramblings from very smart people that their economy is currently on the brink. They're waiting out for the midterms, but if what I've read/heard is true they might not be able to hold out that long without causing significant damage to the global economy. You have the "trade war" with the US and high debt loads, but you also have a ton of manufacturing flight to countries like Vietnam. Things could get ugly if the dominoes start to fall.

That being said, I do think there is still reason to be optimistic that this is just a worst case and things will work out...but I still think foreign nationals parking money in real estate is a big problem that drives out actual tenants by obstructing true supply/demand.
I hear you... Money isn't the end-goal for me either. I'm just hoping I'll be able endure the stress long enough so I can retire early (at age ~50) and enjoy a virtually stress-free retirement but we'll see...
That’s awesome. Server side software should also be actively removing those old protocols.
I am not sure that he's the first to note that the brain is a predictive machine, or to notice that models of state or the environment can be formulated entirely in terms of predictions[0].

Personally, I find that idea very convincing, because we already know how to learn to predict (reinforcement learning), and we can use the same framework to optimize an agent's behavior to maximize against these predictions.
There is some evidence that the brain uses something like temporal difference methods to learn.

The hard parts are: how to do this in a stable and efficient matter, and how to build up our representation to go from relatively simple goals (e.g., survive and collect resources) to more abstract goals (e.g., translate a poem in such a way that the original's charm is preserved[1]).
That is, you want to have a system that is capable of climbing up Maslow's hierarchy (or something like it) and actually proceeds to do so based on emergent properties of the system itself.

Proposing and investigating new ways of constructing learning systems so that there is a continuum between primal drives and complex abstract goals is hard, and even if grid cells are an epiphenomena, then it is worth studying them to see how they might develop from simpler rules.
If Hawkins' team can make something useful, then that can still be beneficial by allowing for more powerful and flexible AI, even if it's not a theory of everything.

I don't think it will end up being vaporware, but I do think it will end up like Duke Nukem Forever.

If you're not familiar with that tale: in the mid-90s Duke Nukem 3D was one of the biggest FPS games, and the developer was lucky enough to be independent so they kept most of the money from sales of it. They then used this money to independently develop the sequel: Duke Nukem Forever. It was going to use the Quake engine to be in full 3D, but then Quake 2 came out and they switched to that engine, then better engines came out and they kept switching. Without a publisher to force them to release they just kept re-building the game with more and more features on newer engines.

Eventually their hoard of money ran out and they went bankrupt. Their assets were bought out by another developer who took the work that had been completed on the latest iteration, quickly slapped it together into a semi-cohesive but shippable game, and shoved it out the door. We got Duke Nukem Forever in the end, but as a shadow of what was promised over the years.
I'd definitely say no. Going from little knowledge straight into Rails teaches terrible habits imo, and indeed it doesn't tend to be used for new projects much any more.

When you're learning to find your feet with software engineering, I'd strongly recommend avoiding languages where the emphasis on everything being "magic". It doesn't help you learn how things actually work.

Interesting and relevant but an all-caps title makes it appear like clickbait on first impression.
Max Payne 1 and 2 tell a story of man revenging after his wife and newborn daughter are brutally murdered.

Grand Theft Auto 4’s main protagonist has survived a civil war, and it shows. The story ain’t particularly optimistic either.

“This War of Mine” tells a story of group of civilians trying to survive in the warzone.

“Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice” main protagonist has severe schizophrenia.

These are amazing games, despite overly pessimistic and even depressing.

not surprising. The FDA (and other regulators) didn't start talking about cybersecurity (in earnest) until 2015, so most device vendors didn't do much "securing". this has definitely started to change though. Unfortunately there is a huge backlog of old devices out in the field that had little to no security designed into them. It will take ~15 years for them to be flushed out of the market.

Hey there - Anjana (CTO of Callisto) here. You're absolutely right - this problem is not just unique to women, and male founders experience this too (we know that reporting rates are extremely low among men because of the stigma involved.) In fact, our current product for college students (Callisto Campus) is actively used by survivors of all genders. Given that VC-funded founder community is predominantly male, there might be even more male founder-survivors than female.

For the survey, we started with a small list of female founders that we thought we could get a high response rate from. We definitely are interested in doing surveys of all genders.

Callisto Expansion for Founders is launching on November 15th and it is for founders of all genders, not just for women.
If anyone else was wondering "AMAB" seems to mean "Assigned Male At Birth". I had to look it up, and I figure I'm not the only one who didn't recognize the acronym.
Just from observing my kid and his friends I think they are amazingly adept at privacy even if they don't realize it, yet. They are more concerned about trolling, being trolled, and in extreme cases, swatting. They share stuff on FB-IG-SC-YT but are conscious to give out just enough information. No real names, no addresses, no phone numbers.

Now the older generations (boomers, GenX, Xillenials) share way too much information, in my opinion. They get on FB, tag everyone in the photo, even those without a FB account. And share their phone number and directions to their house.
In a way, yes.

But also: it is surprising how well building up the intuition in 3 dimensions works for N dimensions. You can build up a very working, visual intuition for Linear Algebra just by doing everything in 3D, for example. There's a textbook that takes this approach: "Practical Linear Algebra".

But, of course, this comes with a caveat: it works until it doesn't. The volume of a unit sphere increases for dimensions 1-5, then starts to go down[1]. There exists an exotic R^4: a manifold that is homeomorphic, but not diffeomorphic to R^4[2]. And so on.

But for a lot of (intro) differential geometry and topology, (e.g. concepts like covering spaces), I haven't found many examples where intuition based on 3 dimensions breaks.

A friend of mine[3] once told me that geometry is the art of getting correct results from incorrect diagrams. I think that the quote we're discussing is in a similar spirit.

Agree with the article. I think we generally underestimate the privacy-destroying power of the UUID: a single random-looking number can track absolutely anything.

Digital systems should require auth via public-key crypto rather than global IDs but keys can be correlated too. Whenever possible we should build systems with technical and economic incentives to preserve privacy, but I wish we had better ways to do that.

Do you feel it's likely that he's created something that works and rather than using or elaborating upon his work, and thus bettering their own career, everyone has thought, "Wait a second, isn't this the Palm Pilot guy?" and discarded the idea?

Instead of just cutting out the middle bit of getting a PhD, becoming a professor, setting up a research lab, and mentoring students for decades, and leaping straight to "make a startup from an idea that works", every single person decided to go the hard road because it seems proper?

Your cargo cult idea works - he's arranged all the trappings of being an influential theorist - funding and research labs and media coverage - except perhaps for the one thing that lets him fly: a worthwhile idea.

Jumping from this, even if OP is getting paid he/she should make sure they're not doing anything sketchy with their pay/tax documents. I've had to go to the IRS (US tax agency) because a former employer filed me on their business taxes as a contractor when I worked in the office as an employee. Some of my colleagues who also worked at startups in the past told me about pay discrepancies when times got tough for the business.
Kikat was released 4 years ago, and Chrome plans to drop Jellyean on Android anyway, and genuinely, is enforcing minimums such a bad idea?

When you're handling your own PII and potentially others (contacts, addresses, phone numbers etc) I think having an absolute minimum requirement is beneficial for the Internet as a whole; for example, it'd not be easy to use Windows XP and access the Internet, for good reason, I'd hope (I can't verify that but I doubt browsers still work there).

This is good news all around, forcing people to upgrade is a good idea in the long run.
