That's exactly what I saw then too.

In the 90s recession youth unemployment was over 20% nationally. Can't find any decent regional or city figures now, and the tories changed the way unemployment was measured during that recession, so anything earlier is incomparable. In Scotland, the NW and NE, and probably the Midlands it was well over that.

Apprenticeships had recently disappeared (my generation was probably the last where some got a chance to leave school at 16 and go into a 3 or 4 year apprenticeship, as a few of my school friends did). Instead of going into work with prospects they ended up on long term unemployment benefit, maybe crime or drugs for some. Those who came out of college with engineering or manufacturing related skills find there's loads more chasing the industrial and engineering jobs that remained with poor chances.

Or simply take a dead end job unrelated to their qualifications, because money - the Deliveroo and Uber of their day, and many tried to move, failed, and got the dead end job somewhere expensive (SE). A CV with 5 or 10 years of all the wrong experience for a chosen career. Sure, some made it through unaffected too.

Kids coming onto the job market late 90s were fine, the economy was booming. Still far more so in the SE though. Those in the early and mid 80s mostly were too, unless they got unlucky with employer in the 90s recession, or bet on the about to die skills.

That generation had few chances of being paid as much as mum or dad, buying house or getting a mortgage until late or even the lifetime career prospects they might. Looking at them now, many got to OK. Though much later, on less money, in a smaller house, probably with more career and job switches and a far harder journey. Not a better deal at all.

Sheffield, Scotland and Liverpool probably still haven't forgiven the Tories for those years. Scotland certainly hasn;t looking at election results. Manchester and Leeds are pretty vibrant now, after many years repair and struggle. I don't know, but would imagine the story in the US rust belt would be frighteningly close.
* What should someone do if they get push back from an investor when asked to this term sheet?

Not the case in Ohio at least. They don't have to pay any PTO. Often, good employers will pay a portion as a good will gesture if you follow their notice procedures. (Prior employer paid half.)
Yes! And I’d like to add that a lack of such criticism just feels wrong. Like I’m researching into a cult instead of a tool.

I understand completely.

I usually describe myself as a Software Engineer or Software Architect because of the projects I undertake.

My current job title: Digital Publishing Programmer.

What does that mean: HR processes made it complicated-to-impossible to hire someone for generalist software purposes because it didn't comply with regulated pay schedules within the parent company. In other words, it doesn't really mean anything explicitly.
And You Thought the Platypus Was Odd
Of course he was. I can't believe I forgot that! :)
Of course there's no such thing as "unlimited PTO" - it's just a gimmick, basically.

So don't expect any decisions or statements made by companies offering "unlimited PTO" to be fair - or many any kind of sense, otherwise.
This is really interesting!
I've hoped of a scenegraph based web in the past, all rendered in a canvas (indexing can be done by serving a simplified html representation by checking the user agent).
I think the most challenging part is text rendering, but some people have done some work in this area (https://github.com/astiopin/webgl_fonts).
Also, we may need some sort of API to trigger keyboard showing on mobile device.
Anyway, congratulations!
Sure, just make everyone replace their keyboard with one which has two `-` buttons and make everyone understand why they need two buttons for something which looks like the same letter and you can safely use – for one thing and — for the other.
They "automate" social proof. That is, when someone buys something on your site, or performs a specific action (such as sign-up for a newsletter), FOMO will show a little pop-up in the left corner stating so ("XYZ from ABC just bought 2 widgets"). The idea is that knowing something is popular will make others more likely to buy it.

I reckon they could do a better job of conveying this, but I work in marketing and I understood it immediately. So I imagine their target audience understands it well enough.
Pretty sure that only applies to userland apps, not kernel modules.
Oh yeah. There's some friction that needs to be addressed. No kidding :) However, we ALL suffer (more) from the pain(s) of not having good information, to say nothing of all the aggregate time wasted testing products because we have no other choice.

I think if there was (kinda sorta) a crowdsourced FAQ that might work. Kinda like you see on e-comm sites in that someone asks a question - aside from some boilerplate questions (e.g., your list) and others can answer. Spammy questions (and answers) can be down voted (a la HN).

Again...Maybe? :)
I can't imagine having a guy like this for a teacher. I remember reading "Surely You're Joking..." in my late formative years, and I can't help but think it impacted my values at a deep personal level.
A friend works for a company that does similar for holidays. You don't get regular holidays off on weekdays, you get them the last two weeks of the year. In order to minimize interruptions during the year. Most are encouraged to take all their vacation time during the same month in the summer time.
What are you talking about? Yes, in "at will" states (which is 49 of them), they can fire you if you refuse to accept the new contract. However, this does not mean they can just ignore the old one: they still have to follow its terms, and if that means paying out your PTO when they fire you, that's what they have to do, or else you have a slam-dunk case for unlawful dismissal.

Of course, this means you're getting your PTO paid out while simultaneously being laid off, but I never said the situation was perfect, just that they can't arbitrarily ignore their own employment contract.

>But they aren't going to write your benefits in a binding contract, because that's just not standard practice

Every professional job I can remember absolutely did come with written policies about things like vacation and PTO, and this stuff was written right into the offer letter. The offer letter is absolutely legally binding. I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.
Well my point is that it's put "in core" as in not in a addon.
It came weirdly into vogue around 2013-2014 I think? It wasn't a massive thing but I do remember it coming up far, far more often than it has before or after.

I realize that might not be what you want to hear, but my advice would be to target a different (larger) MRR. $500/month is not a sustainable or even reasonable business. It's fine to start something "on the side", but I believe you should immediately set your goals to something that in the long term will be sustainable, unless it's really supposed to be only a hobby/toy.

If you've never ran a business before, one important bit of advice is that you should assume revenue targets of 2-3x of what you'd like to actually earn in post-tax personal income. Most people underestimate the costs of running a business and forget that they will need to pay for a computer, software, accounting services, and lots of other things.

Depending on where you live, I'd say target $3k-$10k in MRR.
I mean I don't expect a lot of baseball players or CEO's to be reading my comments, but it's still possible.

IANAL, but there are enforceable terms in employment contracts occasionally. I agree they're rare from my understanding of how things usually wind up shaking out.
See ATC'13 How to Run POSIX Apps in a Minimal Picoprocess (https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/atc13/atc13-h...). I would say it's a POSIX emulator OS.
If you accrue PTO it's usually paid out but if you have allocated PTO given on a yearly cycle I don't think I've ever seen that paid out.

That screwed me when I changed jobs last year actually and I lost 3 days of pay that I didn't take.
Yes I have and very glad I left. My current employer will pay you out if they terminate you but not if you leave voluntarily.

Proper documentation, no matter who writes it, should cover how something works and what it does. Pros, cons, benefits and drawbacks are irrelevant here.

If Iran was serious, then they would use Ethereum or Bitcoin. They would make an exchange in their country to get local currency in/out Ethereum. The exchange could allow local banks to transfer in/out (ACH-like) to the exchange to get in/out between Ethereum and their local currency. Then all cross-border controls are gone by Ethereum senders and receivers crossing borders.

The only reason not to is:

1) They don't want local currency holders expropriating their capital

2) It could result in their local currency having high inflation or even possible collapse down the road

But... if cross-border flow was really their goal, then they would use Ethereum.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I feel like these sort of ontological questions come up a lot when you're a dropout. I had it drilled into my head that if you don't graduate college you will be relegated to a job flipping hamburgers. When I dropped out and managed to achieve roughly the same level of success I would have likely achieved if I had stayed in, it did lead to this feeling of it being "unearned".

Especially at first, I had problems with thinking people were judging me all the time, or didn't take me seriously because I didn't have the letters "B.S." or "B.A." after my name. While this was probably true for some people, I think a vast majority of them seriously did not care that I wasn't qualified on paper, since I could do my job OK.

I don't disagree that these kinds of problems are self-absorbed and the standard definition of a "first world problem", but I found it kind of unavoidable.
Being familiar with people in the food industry, I think they'd find it pretty offensive to call someone in the role of a "cook" the same as calling someone a "chef". They have very different meanings.
The linux kernel has made breaking changes [1] and deprecated APIs [2] internal APIs before.

Specifically, your example brings up the danger that ZoL is in. The Linux kernel does everything in their power to not break User Land APIs. ZoL isn't User Land, and it replaced the previously extremely slow User Land ZFS Linux implementation. It is a Linux kernel module, and as [2] notes, Linux kernel devs are absolutely allowed to make breaking changes to internal APIs. The cost of the increased speed of a Kernel module is the risk of internal API breaking changes. I highly doubt that Linus would scream anywhere near as much about an internal API change that broke a separately maintained linux module with non-GPL code.

I don’t think I share your definition of “documentation”. I’m just talking about the “what does it do and how, what are the api calls and how do I call them” stuff. There’s no evangelism or bias there — or if there is, that’s certainly a hard strike against my perception of the product’s quality!
You probably are a citizen of a reasonably-social and well-developed country like Germany where getting old without having built a fortune does not imply doom of extreme poverty, alienation and rapid physical decay.
The problem I have found with co-working spaces is that most people manage to work without causing disturbance to others but there are always one or two people who's sole reason for being there seems to be the exact opposite.

The biggest offenders are the one-man call centres with the hipster startup crowd coming a close second.

Ironically, there is always a clause in the agreement about not causing a disturbance but, in my experience, it's never enforced.

I was fortunate once to get an office in an architect's studio in Spain for 120 euro a month, everything included. He simply had too much space and was happy for someone else just to make a contribution to monthly overheads. Although I could work behind a closed door it was nice to have the odd casual chat and to have someone to say good morning to.

Unfortunately, he owned the whole building and decided to update the lift and staircase (we were on the top floor) and after 4 months of banging a drilling with no sign of progress I simply lost patience and left.

So yeah, a private office is ideal but it isn't always the end of your problems.
The 15 puzzle is for all ages.
Yes, Obviously you can describe the same thing in any reasonable language, the difference is mainly how concise it is, and how simple it is to overview.

Traditional OO focused on extensibility over everything else. I think the idea of openness to extension is way oversold. The idea of a closed and simple to overview enumeration is much more common in my experience (after 25 years of OO...) and it’s sadly hell to create in C# compared to any language with ADTs.
It's more than that.
buzzfeed is essentially a type of media company, one that is suppose to 'survive' in the new landscape where aggregates like fb, and google dominates.
to learn and understand why it is struggling has more implications not just to the long term viability of journalism, but also to how aggregators dominate and there fore, should be regulated, and what can company do in a age where controlling demand is much more important than controlling supply.
Paper is an embarrassment for a company with Dropbox's resources and past accomplishments. It’s a half-hearted effort that vaguely reminds me of Drop.io (which was terrific), with a small fraction of the utility. If you're going to make a centralized and open repository for specific content then benchmark against what works(ed).
Sounds like a good option but I like having the ability to roll over a part, if not all, of my PTO. Sometimes people just take off at the end of the year because they have to.

Legal in California: You earn 2 vacation days per month, to a max of 24. Hired in January, never use PTO, by December you have 24 days banked. In January you fail to earn PTO because you hit the cap. Total balance at end of January: 24 days banked.

Illegal in California: You earn 2 vacation days per month, and they are "use it or lose it." Hired in January, by December you have 24 days banked and never use them. The next January, your existing PTO balance is set to 0 and you are not compensated for the unused days. Balance at end of January: 2 days banked.

The legal distinction is that your employer can decide not to give you PTO for any arbitrary reason (there is no legal requirement to give any at all), but they cannot take back PTO that has already been paid out.
US imports from Vietnam should hit a new record for 2018 when all the data is released. Roughly $50 billion worth of imports vs $46.4 billion for 2017. That's equal to about 20% of their economy in size. I would expect that trade to continue to expand indefinitely.

Over the coming decade Vietnam should be able to use the same approach China did, with regards to US imports pouring dollars into the country, to rapidly build itself up. Their GDP per capita has been soaring, from $543 in 2004 to $2,500 this year (up ~20% in the last three years). Probably 12 to 15 years out they'll have an economy the size of Turkey or Taiwan.
Wow that's good to hear, thanks. (I wasn't familiar with the other OSes so that's why I didn't comment on them.)
Sometimes I buy the yellow cheese slices at the grocery store without reading what kind they are.
Or abrade the mold off. Don't be afraid to cut beyond the rind into the proper cheese: almost all of the surface of a piece of cheese is interior in any case and the rind is important for whole wheels aging on a shelf, not to preserve a wedge in the fridge for a few weeks.
Also worked at a company that eliminated the PTO benefit. That's essentially what "unlimited PTO" means, you are no longer guaranteed that any time off is paid, since it's explicitly at the discretion of your manager, and it no longer accrues in the event you leave or the company folds. This is usually combined with "unified time off" policies in which there is no defined sick time off either. The only exception, really, is time off mandated under FMLA.

If I'm negotiating comp with such a company, I would add what would normally be the PTO I would receive at a place which has it as a defined benefit and use that number as what I would need to be offered in order to accept a position there.
I ask myself that question every-single-day. I'm hoping they wake from their slumber and start competing against Box, MSFT, Google, etc., with real innovation. This may be a start... even if they had to buy it.

You better believe Apple intentionally curbs the ability to repair outside it's stores.

The "right to repair" movement and subsequent legislation was squarely pointed at Apple. There's simply nothing Apple won't do to stymie user rights, from purposefully forcing app-devs into the app store by crippling the iOS browser, to retroactively modifying app store rules to kill competition (as with Steam), to making it next to impossible to repair hardware outside their store
Hey! Thanks for the great question. I've expanded on the Credits section and added a detailed comparison on the README:

If your employer is large, greater than 100 full time employees, you are probably protected by the WARN act which guarantees 60 days notice. BuzzFeed employees probably qualify.
Theoretically you can re-write all the Oracle parts and then relicesne it. That is how BSD got out from AT&T years ago. This is hard to pull off legally and takes a long time. It is possible, but generally isn't practical.

> Almost all states are at-will. So severance isn’t required.

The former doesn't imply the latter; all (not almost all) US states have at-will employment, but that just means good cause is, by default (i.e., absent specific contract terms), not needed to sever an employment relationship; some states, and the federal government, nevertheless require notice or payment in lieu of notice and for some states additional post-layoff benefits (e.g., paying continued health benefits for a certain period) for certain large layoffs.

>You should go test drive something like the Model 3 as it's a very different driving experience to an ICE in terms of braking.

You sound like you took one test drive of the Model 3 at one setting and have no idea that there are multiple settings. If you go through the menus, the aggressiveness of the regen braking is settable. You can make the car "creep" as if it has an automatic transmission, or you can make it not "creep", like cars with manual transmissions and clutches. You can set it for aggressive regen like a real EV, or you can set it for non-aggressive regen so it feels like driving a regular car with an auto trans.

The proper setting, IMO, is the full-EV mode with very aggressive regen. You're not supposed to use the accelerator as an accelerator, you're supposed to use it as a speed control pedal. So you don't take your foot off the pedal at all, unless you need to brake hard. The rest of the time, you keep your foot on the pedal and modulate it to control your speed. If that's a problem for you, it's because you learned bad driving habits with non-EV vehicles, and you need to learn better driving habits now.
A subjective point but:

Chinese manufacturing work ethic > Indian manufacturing work ethic.

This will be disastrous short term.
That sounds like the problem is weak competition (if you're a capitalist) or a bad tax/social security system.

Correct. I think the HelloSign acquisition is an attempt to position for medium and enterprise sales. However, I suspect Dropbox doesn't have competencies to execute on that in marketing or sales. Again, there are 2 or 3 more acquisitions they need to make... now... to make all this tick.

I see what you’re saying, it’s sort of typical west coast culture. But I think you can convey the same content with more gentle phrasing.
It’s meant to provide transparency on what good and clean terms are. It won’t generate negotiating leverage for you if you don’t have any, though on the margins it might help you persuade someone that a term is “market.”

Most of the legal costs don’t arise from the term sheet. They come from legal diligence and drafting the definitive docs.
The investments are effectively commensurate with population size, so not that far of equity by one measure.
