I don't think it's as bad as everyone else does.

If, instead of getting the missed wages after 6 months, you were offered equity equal to the wages you were missing, would that be fair?

In the end, that's the same deal, assuming you could buy equity. (That isn't necessarily true, though.) If the company survives, you get your money in both situations. If the company doesn't survive, you don't get your money in both situations.

If you still think it's not fair, ask for equity instead. But they apparently just don't have the money right now, so they couldn't possibly pay you more to start.
These will be undoubtedly owned by 7-11. It's a virtual guarantee of getting more people to come into your store that may buy something since they're already there.
It's from Cryptonomicon - a thousand pages about wargold, allied codes, enigma, cryptanalysis, startups, datahavens and money perfectly weaved together as only Neal Stephenson can.

One of the main stories in the book is about Avi and Randy that are trying to get a datahaven startup off the ground, and Avi, the sly businessman, is constantly on about enhancing shareholder value. There's an excellent and humorous description of writing businessplans where it's all about "doing X to enhance shareholder value."

This is also where the term "fuck you money" comes from. Fuck you money is the amount that will allow you to economically say fuck you to anyone for the rest of your life. Basically total financial freedom. Avi, again the businessman, keeps an updated excel spreadsheet that calculates exactly how much money fuck you money is at the moment, since it's obviously dependant on exchange rates, stockprices, real estate prices, etc.

It's a great read.

I absolutely disagree with that quote about leadership.

If you aren't leading people, you aren't a leader. It's right in the name. If you're going your own direction, alone, you're a pioneer. But not a leader.

The German version allows you to send packages by putting them into an empty box in the Packstation. Same for the Austrian version. Deutsche Post also maintains so-called "Paketbox"es, which are only for sending stuff.

The Österreichische Post AG (Austria) is testing a new system where they install a couple of boxes right inside apartement buildings, typically next to the residents' post boxes. When a resident isn't home they simply drop the unlock code in his post box and put the package in one of the boxes. (The package is obviously too big to be dropped directly into the resident's post box.)

Packages can be exciting ;-)
The quality of the keyboard cannot be overstated, both the size and the physical feedback is perfect.

The 50G is a lot larger than the 15C which fits easily into a normal pocket.

The 15C is like an Apple product: it has the needed functionality and wastes no space or keys on fancy flashy fluff you're never going to use: "Perfection is achieved ... when there is nothing left to take away".

Programming it is very intuitive, "getting" the 15C is the best indicator I had in high school for figuring out who understood math and who just carbon copied the teacher.

Hey norcode. You're pretty close to Toronto. There are a lot of angels near there. Hit them up. I'd recommend talking to the StartupNorth guy, David Crow. I'd also recommend talking to the Globalive guys... specifically Anthony L.

There are also a whole number of incubators you can talk with in and around Toronto (and Montreal). Year One is a good choice but take a look around.'

Ask yourself: would 3-4 SFPD officers show up at the door of a suspected bike thief if someone claimed he had stolen a bike worth $500?

Dear H-N readers from SF: you _can_ effect change by contacting your supervisors and asking them to raise questions with SFPD. You don't have to silently sit there watching bad things happen; you have an option, and that is to speak up. Sending an email to your supervisor is a very easy thing to do, and if enough of us band together and raise our voices, the powers-that-be will have to listen.
They have agreed to do that as I mentioned. After the first six months they will pay me my market rate+ (marketrate- prev salary) + risk money for the next six months, of course subject to the availability of capital.

4 Nifty Unfollow Twitter Tools
It surely feels great to follow interesting people on Twitter but when the same interesting people suddenly start boring you up, or the most active people who made you keep coming back to the micro-blogging site get inactive from the site, or those arrogant Tweeps whom you wanted to befriend but they never follow you back, it makes you feel like suing them all at once, isn’t it?
Thanks for the reply. I dont really feel like I am being screwed. Based on my interaction with the co-founders, they seem like really decent guys and they have been pretty honest about everything. I think its more to do with the fact that I expected some equity or at least a discussion sometime down the line.
Why must a calculator do everything for you? I remember a time when numerical integration, matrix multiplication, and derivatives were done by hand. Additionally, we weren't allowed calculators in tests. Pardon the rant, but it is comments like the statement above that make me appreciate having studied under people like David Huffman (of Huffman Coding) and instilled in me the ability and desire to derive things from first principles.

I'd suggest that people just like you were saying things just like this back in the HP 15C's heyday... except they were saying them about slide rules. Is there any more merit in your words than there was in theirs?
How to get more out of your wii
I wish I shared you idealism. You're talking about the SFPD - the same SFPD that has gotten away with beatings, illegal arrests, blatant racism and bigotry for decades.

If the mass beating of gays in the Castro and two dozen illegal arrests wasn't able to perturb the SFPD, what makes you think the illegal search of one man's home will?

I get the feeling that in municipal politics the police-city relationship is very similar to the military-government relationship in many banana republics. On paper one answers to the other, but in reality one is so powerful by itself that it is essentially immune to prosecution.

It is cheaper to send a package to this locker than to an residential address.

You get an email and SMS whenever there is a package for you, and you have 14 days to pick up the package before it is returned to sender.

Way better than UPS, Fedex etc who seems to be completely unable to ring the door bell or who just skips delivery completely if they're busy. Of course, they are not too busy to tell the system that the customer were not home at the time.
It's a really really bad deal. Please listen when I say someone is trying to take advantage of you. You're taking on a lot of risk with no upside. If I'm reading it right, the best you can do is break even with the salary you could be getting. On the other hand, the company is assuming absolutely no risk, if they become successful because of your risk and hard work, they just have to pay you what they should have been paying you from the beginning.

If you're seriously considering this offer there must be something else in play. Is it a visa you're after? Have you always wanted to work at a startup? Is it a field you're very interested in? Have you been out of work for a very long time?

Whatever it is, at the very least, you should push back and try to negotiate to get what you really want.
I am not uneasy, just unsure. My biggest worry right now is if the company does take off, would i regret not asking for equity?
I don't care how interesting the work is, it's not worth 1/3rd market rate for someone else to own it. That's not far from 0% market rate which you would get for working on your own projects which you would have 100% ownership of.
We have a similar setup. I am a technical founder who owns the project and company, I hired two developers from overseas full time. They joined because each were interested in the project, and were heavily trained by me. I paid them full salary of their market rate - they told me their existing salaries, and we started from there, including pay rises every 6 months.

This is how it should be. I am taking the risk and paying them full time, and since they were also happy with the interesting work they did not need or ask for equity. In your case you should either get full salary or equity. Because you are taking the risk with them. It is simple as that.

I don't get to judgement that your employer is taking advantage of you, sometimes arranging equity gets complicated, you need lawyers etc. He may have good intentions to keep you until you see the upside. But there is no guarantee, and if he is not paying you now, he should agree to offer you something in exchange that should fulfill you, or simply just pay you your market rate.

You are not overthinking at all. You should protect your rights at all times.
Well look at why one gets equity - to compensate for risk. What is risk? Not having money tomorrow to be getting paid. Well you are taking risk according to that definition, but no equity in return. This is one problem, but not the end of the world. Also, giving you equity is going to get them in trouble with the law, and future investors. So giving you equity is stupid for them. So how to compensate you for your risk? Cash money. Ask them for above market, in back pay if you're interested and trust them - walk if you don't.

Get them to sign a contract in your country of origin - so fighting you in court becomes expensive for them. Or maybe in a state far from them within the US.
Horrible deal. There's a chance that you will work for 1/3 of your regular salary for 6 months, and there's NO UPSIDE.

Let's say they let you go after 6 months, or tell you "there's no money". If your normal rate is 100K, you will be working working for $33K. Which means that in 6 months you lose $33.5K. That's quite a lot of money.

I would not take that.

WARNING: if they offer you equity, let's say 50,000 shares, but don't tell you what % of the total number of shares that represents, DO NOT TAKE IT, IT'S A SCAM.
I'm growing more and more irritated by the classification of "reading" as "consumption". Consumption is usually defined as a sink of goods (as opposed to "investment" or "production").

Reading per se, however, does not result in anything vanishing from the system. It _can_ mean that but usually the ideas or perspectives contained in the book or article change the ideas or perspectives of the reader. Reading _can_ be pure consumption, for sure, but that describes a specific type of reading.

One could argue that buying a physical copy and tossing it after you're done is the act of consumption. But then the consumption really concerns only the physical medium, not the content.

Am I splitting hairs? I'm not sure, to be honest, but I feel the more people talk about reading as something "for passive users to consume", the more it narrows the industry perspective on what transmitting ideas between people means or could mean.

The reason Bayesian methods are not so popular for some problems is because they are significantly more computationally challenging than alternatives. Bayesian methods have been taught in machine learning classes for at least the past 10 years, but they have only been used on small tractable problems or very roughly approximated.

This is finally starting to change, with modern computers.

Also, "anti-Bayesian frequentists" are like "waterfall" practicioners of to agile: a straw man invented for Bayesian zealots to rail against. Nearly no one ever says Bayesian analysis is wrong, but anti-frequentists condemn frequentists for the religious heresy of sometimes using non-Bayesian techniques to solve a problem.
Very few anti-frequentists are practicing statisticians or engineers. Purity of theoretical correctness cannot tolerate being sullied by the dirtiness of practical reality.
That's the problem. There's no guarantee they will succeed or get funding. The pay back may not happen and you may end up with the short end of the stick. Not to mention investors wouldn't like to know that any seed investment might be gobbled up in paying back payroll instead of being invested into the company moving forward.

Thanks .
Yeah with Python , there wont be any problem with the type, but i'm learning java , and i'm solving project euler problems and as you know the numbers they give are pretty big , for instance consider a 1000 digit number , in python u just type a= number, but in java we use string and then use Charater.digit with String.charAt , i guess u understand my problem , today i was stuck up conversion of string to int array , these things really consume time , and logic i dont take much time , its just these things , this is sounding little rude , but ireally didnt mean to be , i'm just frustrated..
I have always wanted to work at a startup. I am not after a VISA, though it will be good. I quit my previous job at a big company two months ago because I was tired of doing mundane tasks and was shit scared that I had stagnated.
I would suggest spending a bit of time writing code in the languages you got rusty at. It doesnt have to be much, just some euler project problems, a small web interface, whatever. It will probably help you to prepare your interviews, and you could show your pieces of code to the employers, saying something like "I put this couple of lines on my github repository, feel free to check it."
You're basically asking - how do I make $$$?

Gaining customers/users is the cornerstone of any commercial website, and there's no magic pill.

Your options are usual

1) Advertising (I would try mechanics/docs/vets forums)

2) Sales (direct calls or even visits)

3) Building such an awesome service that people recommend it to their family/friends

P.S.

you should've thought about it before you started coding the site.
Ask them to articulate why equity can't go to a foreign person. Make your decision based on this. (if you live in someplace like Somalia or Belarus or China, and they're a defense or security startup, maybe an argument could be made; alternative arrangements like a cash settled "phantom stock" allocation equivalent to the 0.5-2% or so you should otherwise get (over 4y) might be worthwhile instead).

Taking a below-market salary itself, if there's likely funding, isn't horrible, assuming you can live on it. Adding that you're being paid back the difference makes it good, too.
Sorry murugan , can u be little more eloborate. Links would be really great .
But post-PC devices are only partially replacing the PC - in those areas where they're better than PCs. We're not losing anything, only gaining something new.
In any deal, you want to look to protect yourself. Look at this -

> The next 6 months however I will be paid back the diff and also get my market salary, provided there is money.

So, answer, What if there isn't money? Then what?

Draw up the contract so that you get something if there's no money for you. You'll feel burned quite badly if the answer is just, "Oh, sorry, we don't have the money now."

So, figure that out. If you want to guarantee you get the cash, have something serious in the event you don't get it. Maybe very significant equity at that point? Then it's very clear that you need to be paid, lest there's consequences. Look, everyone is great and honorable and all that, but things go wrong sometimes, and it's better to have it written down in the contract what happens in the event things go wrong.
I don't know what you mean by "media sharing," but you're going to have to figure out where money can come from. It doesn't have to be "a business model," just something to sell. Eyeballs, accounts...whatever.
The problem is not having to update tons of records, the problem is seeing one day, after 2 years of having the app in production, that the listing shows that employee X works in department Y and her boss is Z, but Z is not the head of Y.

Oh come off it, calm down a bit.

He said basically IMO because he meant "of the subset of actions against your person or property that you can legally consent to the further subset of those you have freely consented to are those actions that you can not properly object to being performed".

It's an internet forum not rendition of statute.

Besplatan sport
Pre svega, valja naglasiti da smatramo da dobrovoljni karakter rada nikako ne podrazumeva lagodan odnos. Naprotiv, smatramo da posao u koji se čovek upusti bez novčane nadoknade obavezuje na drugačiji i ozbiljniji način od onog koji se obavlja za platu, honorar ili nova dva reda u CV-ju. Rad koji nije motivisan novcem i materijalnom koristi zavređuje neki krupniji i ljudskiji motiv, bilo to unapređivanje duha, postizanje kondicije, učenje disciplini, ili upoznavanje privlačnih pripadnica ili pripadnika suprotnog pola... Raznovrsnost ličnih motiva naših budućih volontera je dobrodošla, jer ona garantuje i raznovrsnost karaktera i zanimljivije međuljudske odnose (drugim rečima, prirodno je i razumno da očekujete barem dobro zezanje :). Mi, sa naše strane, očekujemo da dogovor bude ispoštovan, ništa više i ništa manje.

U narednom periodu ćemo formirati osnovnu bazu volontera pred početak ozbiljnijeg angažovanja na planiranim akcijama. Većina tih akcija podrazumeva boravak i rad vani, odnosno lepo vreme, što znači da s početkom proleća možete očekivati naš poziv i konkretnu ponudu, sve u skladu sa Vašim sklonostima i željama navedenim u prijavi. Još jednom: raznovrsnost u načinu angažovanja u ELEMENT-u je ogromna, od druženja sa ašovom i deljenja letaka, preko pomoći u popisivanju besplatnih sportskih terena, do rada za računarom.

Zainteresovani će, u skladu sa afinitetima, dobiti priliku da nauče određene veštine u zamenu za njihovu primenu ili angažovanje u nekoj drugoj oblasti, sve u skladu sa afinitetima. Drugim rečima, dobićete priliku da naučite nešto što Vas zanima od profesionalaca iz raznih oblasti, ukoliko ste spremni da zauzvrat poklonite nešto Vašeg vremena. Naravno, nećemo tražiti da gradite piramide, već ćemo pronaći način da Vas angažujemo u oblasti u kojoj ste stručni ili za koju ste zainteresovani. U suštini, jedini uslov je Vaša dobra volja.
