Salary is relatively high for a start-up and you get very little equity.
More of a regular job with extra options as a bonus if you ask me.

Just think about what makes you want it?
Are you in for the potential payout? Then I would aggressively bargain.
Well you if you're important to the success and value yourself highly you should do that anyways, they won't get angry, in fact should appreciate somebody like that more (if not I'd doubt if it's worth working for those people).
Most likely they have no idea how "fair" their offer is as much as you don't.

Also if other people will be getting a similar deal I　would be slightly worried about motivational issues. I can easily imagine them hiring somebody for 80k that didn't make that much before or had a very similar salary. Add to that the rather longish runway of 12 months.
Will there still be that atmosphere of pushing yourselves to the limit?
I have no idea, we know too little about the company, but please ask yourself those questions.

I've had no interest in the complex half, but I can claim to have done well enough with the real half. I like it.

He does especially well with Fourier things, which is not surprising considering some of his other work,

He gives the von Neumann proof of the Radon-Nikodym theorem. I prefer the approaches with more steps with each step smaller, but it's great to see the von Neumann masterstroke.

Rudin's chapter on Banach space knocks off the main results quickly and cleanly.

His construction of Lebesgue measure early on is a bit long but surprising and, net, shorter than the other ways to do it.

Curiously he has a nice chapter with more general results on change of variable in multiple integration.

He does well with the various duality results, which are surprising and important.

A good competitor, of course, is Royden, 'Real Analysis'.
This advice seems to contradict the advice given about increasing your intelligence in a recent post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2562632

Compare this:

Efficiency is not your friend when it comes to cognitive growth. In order to keep your brain making new connections and keeping them active, you need to keep moving on to another challenging activity as soon as you reach the point of mastery in the one you are engaging in. You want to be in a constant state of slight discomfort, struggling to barely achieve whatever it is you are trying to do, as Einstein alluded to in his quote. This keeps your brain on its toes, so to speak.

With:

The proper role for your pre-frontal cortex is to decide what behavior you want to change, design the ritual you'll undertake, and then get out of the way. "It is a profoundly erroneous truism that we should cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing," the philosopher A.N. Whitehead explained back in 1911. "The precise opposite is the case. Civilization advances by extending the number of operations we can perform without thinking about them."

Is there a real contradiction? If yes, is there any point to intelligence if you get less important things done?

Well played. I guess I am thinking to my singular situation of living with lazy/pressuring roommates in college. But I imagine, also, that finding highly motivated people as in the Hacker News mold is pretty hard to do in general.
Along these lines, I made a little program which yells at me whenever I have too many lines of code without a comment, or too many lines in a single file. I've found it quite helpful not having to actively think about that sort of maintenance stuff.

Certainly an impressive bunch - when I first saw the publicity for the 20 under 20 program, I was miffed that they weren't taking 21-year-olds. But I see now I'd have had no chance of getting accepted - no chance against people who were doing research at the age when I was collecting pokemon cards. Seriously, who are these people? Best of luck to them all anyway.
Slightly unrelated, but sometimes I really wish there was a search engine which would allow you to search the source of a website instead of the output.

That way you could easily find data about all websites using a particular jQuery plugin, or all websites having a tweet button and so forth.

Would be quite useful for analysis purposes and to gauge the popularity of various frameworks, etc.

Another policy I've seen is "passwords must differ by at least N characters". Again, how many hashes do you need to store for a 16 character password?

For any trivial policy ("don't add numbers to the end", storing the extra hashes will work. All the password policy systems I've seen allow too many axes of freedom for that.

The current CRM features available are terrible. The other issue is that they generally come bundled with a CRM that companies are paying in excess of 7 figures for. We have a stand alone product that is efficient and affordable.

A lot of recruitment companies, at least here in the UK, pay significant annual salaries to an 'admin' person to sit and format CV's all day long. Why pay them £25k a year to execute a task that takes them about 20 minutes when you could pay us about 70-80% less (pricing point yet to be determined) for a product that executes the task instantly?
Do you have the source online somewhere please?
I'm a massive fan of life-task automation, for the benefits of not worrying about certain things (and therefore being generally happier in life).

Classic example for myself - when I used to commute to work, I would change lanes at exactly the same point every day. There was a month of trial and error to begin with, but this route and those lanes gave me the 'most likely fastest journey'. No more thinking about traffic, worrying that the lane next to me was moving faster, should I change etc etc.

I even have an automated rule for when I need to automate a rule - only when something annoys me three times. Can't find my keys when heading out the door? Very quickly automated where they live (ie, it happened 3 times very fast). Trip over a stair once? Not even going to register as an issue until it happens two more times.

There's two points being made here and they're not all that clearly distinguished. First, excursions, where a new thought is interpolated into a sentence before the previous one is complete, can be tiring.

Second, people use em dashes where other punctuation would be more appropriate—the article illustrates this nicely, where lots of em dashes are used that would better be commas or semicolons. Em dashes are the most emphatic punctuation for communicating excursions, so the two points are related.

Indeed, em dashes should be used sparingly, as exclamation marks are, since they are visually distracting. Chicago suggests that no paragraph should contain more than two em dashes, and most should not contain that many. By my reckoning, Noreen Malone packed 14 em dashes into each of two paragraphs in her article.

But the fairly mechanical task of turning dashes into other punctuation doesn't tackle the point about excessively excursive writing. And here I don't agree that they are the enemy of "truly efficient writing". Excursions can be a sign of mental disorganisation in the writer, one who isn't writing with clear purpose, but they can also be the sign of a successful reworking of complex material, to present it in the most digestible manner. I don't think that "excursions bad" is useful advice, rather I suggest "check that excursions are of clear value".

I have three excursions in this comment, and I think all pass this "clear value" test; as an exercise, you can check if you agree with me. There's an em dash too.

But how can you do your work out immediately when you wake up and have to go to work? Wake up earlier?

It makes plenty of sense, and I don't think it's absurd in the least. It's the difference between locking your bike up in the middle of NYC vs. locking it up in a small rural town with identical locks to identical fixtures. One of these situations is much safer, even though there's no security difference.

>I would say working less for money is the single biggest thing people can do to be more productive, or to have more time.

moving closer to work has similar effects on your free time without cutting in to your free money.

but yeah, I agree. It's hard to have time to work on your stuff if you work 40 hours a week, especially if you need some family or social time. working part time helps a lot, if you can pull it off. Again, though, be mindful of the commute and reduce the number of days a week you work rather than reducing the number of hours a day you work.

The metionned 'HADOPI' group has been very productive as an entertainement provider lately. In particular, the specifications for 'netwotrk security softawre' (that should help one prove his innocence in a piracy trial) are a great read :

* use of compliant software may not be used as an argument to prove one's innocence in court

* cloud computing is actually a 'network protocol'

OK, it may be an old question but why doesn't HN search for old URLs before allowing you to post? I missed this the first time around and am really glad that it got posted (and glad you found the dupes) but most reposts are bad. I think something like a URL check would be valuable.
They are different things. There is lots of research in self regulation and it boils down to (unsurprisingly): the most efficient and elegant way to self-regulate is to avoid continuous self-regulation, i.e. create habits. There is also lots of research on how to create habits :)

A good summary of current state of research is "A handbook of self-regulation", edited by Roy Baumeister, but it's definitely not an easy read. It's amazing though to find out exactly how far we've come in understanding these things - and it's also pretty exciting how recent most of it is.

There are more practical books out there, drawing from the same research. "The Procrastination Equation" by Piers Steel is the best I've found so far.
When I say stop watching TV, I don't mean stop doing sedentary things. I specifically mean stop watching TV. You can do almost anything else and I sincerely believe that you'll be better for it. Read a book, exercise, learn to cook, program, help your kids with homework, play video games, go out with friends...anything is better than watching TV.

The author likens it with a pack of cigarette a day. It would be more apt if she compared it with wine, where a glass a day has proven to be beneficial.

She quoted it herself: "Use a dash only when a more common mark of punctuation seems inadequate."

Who are we, we modern writers, to pass judgment—and with such shocking frequency—on these more simple forms of punctuation—the workmanlike comma, the stalwart colon, the taken-for-granted period? (One colleague—arguing strenuously that certain occasions call for the dash instead of other punctuation, for purposes of tone—told me he thinks of the parenthesis as a whisper, and the dash as a way of calling attention to a phrase.

Right, so because you as a modern writer don't want to pass judgment we should stop using it? I'm on her colleague's side on this one.

EDIT: Embarassing gender confusion. Thanks for the correction.
I think this article was hilarious in how it demonstrated the problems with the em dash. Honestly, I couldn't even finish it because the style was so frustrating...

But I still like it, and I know the author does too. The em dash is an artistic tool which gives a bit of humanity to the author. It makes it feel a little less calculated and a little more free-form. I respect professionalism, but even professionals like to let loose with their heart from time to time, to reveal their stream of consciousness, and the em dash is a tool in that regard. The real message here isn't that the em dash is evil, just that we should avoid over-using it.

This was a preview of the astronomical models of the Theory of Matrix / DNA, 20 years ago. Lonely planets float freely in space until they have close to a star and be caught in its orbit. The energy of the star reaches the core of the planet which is a germ of star and triggering the start of a nuclear reaction. When the planet's consumes its mass and becomes light it escapes from the stellar orbit, returning to float in space, it grows becoming a pulsar and then unfolds as a supernova. In http://theuniversalmatrix.com website everything is explained.

In this sense PL's namespaces seem to be analogous to the natural language context.
