I'd say go for a startup, you are still young , you can take risks while you can. If you get married or with increase in responsibilities , you will not be able to take huge risks with your career. Amazon is offering you a job now , looking by that you will get a job at Amazon even after 2yrs , may be you can get dev there after 2 yrs :) . And working in startup , the exposure you get is way more than any where else cuz in big cos you will stuck to your work , but at startups you'll get your hands dirty and will not be confined to your work , whatever comes up u r forced to take . So I'd say go for startup :)

"In order for large enterprises to invest heavily into a technology, they need some assurances that the technology is viable and the viability often comes in the form of the backing of corporate stewards. "

That, or you could bet on open standards instead, which probably has corporate backing as well. Seems to me that the backing of corporations on proprietary technology doesn't always work out - corporations do go down the drain sometimes, or withdraw support.
Selling software at inflated prices in other territories is pretty dishonest. For instance the cost of the design suite in the US is $1,299 while in the UK it is £1,032 ($1,638) before taxes are applied. While I accept that prices can be variable depending on exchange rates, this is downright dishonest.

Nope, it's not related to monogamy at all; if you're a man who's had sex with a man (protected or otherwise) in the last year, you're ineligible. Note that this is also regardless of stated sexual identity; the category is actually 'men who have sex with men', not 'gay men'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_who_have_sex_with_men

Everyone here likes to believe there's a bit of a startup boom in Wellington at the moment - government R&D grants and the Grow Wellington business incubator certainly seem to have gone a long way towards helping the culture along. In any case you can't walk down Cuba St without running into people from all the different tech startups these days. It's great, since fifteen years ago the only other employment options in this town were cafés or the public sector.
In the United States, gay men[1] account for 49% of HIV positive people according to the CDC. Gay women do not account for at least 2% of the HIV positive population and so are excluded from the most recent CDC fact sheet[2].

So, gay men and women may be treated very differently by health officials with some valid reason.

[1]The CDC actually tracks the objective category "men who have sex with men", and not the fuzzy labels "gay" and "straight".

Maybe you can turn it quite a bit down: as is it effectively creates a very strong miniature effect, except with 'living' flying birds, which ends up generating massive cognitive dissonance. It's way over the top.
Why isn't there kind of a "dating site" for this? Ie, take me as an example: I am in Sweden, am technical, and am interested in meeting a business co-founder with whom I can get to work on an e-learning startup (btw, if anyone is out there, get in touch).

Someone should create a site with that kind of granularity.

Besides that, the same rendering engine is used in mobile and internet-enabled devices (such as a TV) -- so it's still relevant.

I've always wondered why alternative datastores, like MongoDB, get so much good press when a RDBMS like MySQL or PostgreSQL can be used for storing non-relational data in a way that scales tremendously.

The only article I'm seeing for this issue is this one from 2009, by Bret Taylor: http://bret.appspot.com/entry/how-friendfeed-uses-mysql

Other than that, crickets, which is a shame as these RDBMS databases are proven to be more reliable than the fad du-jour.

That's true. I can't say whether or not the health bureaus' policies are justified as I am not an expert. But I can guess that it is not unreasonable that they would treat gay males and gay females differently.

There is probably some testing regime that could be implemented that would allow tissue and serum donation programs to be blind to sexual behavior.
I completely agree and have been saying this for years. When Apple defended their decision by saying it's a closed platform, that would have been a good time (although that didn't save Java, either).

When OS X Safari users were complaining of crashes, that also would have been a good time. I stopped Flex development when Flash started crashing Firefox on Windows. If they can't get it stable on #1 developer platform, I figure there's no hope.

Ask HN: First time investor - How do I not get screwed?
Hi, I'm looking to invest $50k in a new startup at a 20% share. I have no experience in investing previously. It's a hands-off investment, and I'd like to avoid getting screwed on the deal when it comes time to exit/bring in new investment.

Any advice? What to look for in the deal? What to avoid? How to not get screwed out?

echo -e $"$(print_tick $number)\\c"
Considering the unprecedented scale they are operating on, their track record is not too shabby and because of that I would take any opinions to the contrary with a big grain of salt. Also, that article is filled with hyperbole and meaningless words, with sentences that contradict each other. In one place he's are saying ...

MySQL ... wasn’t built for webscale applications

But in another he's are saying ...

Facebook has split its MySQL database into
4,000 shards

Well, if the author had any clue whatsoever, he would know that splitting a database in multiple shards effectively goes against the relational model (Facebook is effectively using MySQL as a storage engine, not as a RDBMS) and so inherent limitations that make people say MySQL wasn't built for webscale applications ... no longer apply.

SQL databases ... consume too many resources for
overhead tasks (e.g., maintaining ACID compliance
and handling multithreading)

Again, ACID compliance and multithreading becomes a local issue, relevant for a single shard. ACID compliance does not apply to the whole cluster of shards they have and it is still freakishly useful, even if applied locally, because you want the guarantee that the user's submission has been saved somewhere in a consistent state, from which you can safely replicate.

At their scale maybe they could have chosen something better, more suitable to their needs, however the question is ... how can you make a choice when nobody else has dealt before with a social network handling submissions from hundreds of millions of users and that's expected to reach 1 billion?

You can't. On the other hand it is easy to blabber about webscale (WTF does that mean anyway?)

PS: I'm not going against the opinion of the great Michael Stonebraker, but he's not the author of the article and his views must be taken in context ;) He's not wrong to say that MySQL will be problematic to Facebook. What I'm saying here is that MySQL was as good as any other available alternatives, especially considering how Facebook uses it.

No, that is simply not logical and nobody is arguing it. Again - a claim to have suicidal thoughts is a factor in diagnosing depression. Acting on those thoughts leads to actual suicide. That does not imply that suicidal thoughts were the reason why somebody became depressed.

Here is what would be a perfectly circular argument:

Somebody commits suicide. Society looks for a reason of that suicide. They figure out that the person was depressed. But why was he depressed? Turns out, he was suicidal.

But that's not what is being argued:

Somebody is depressed. So much depressed, that the person has suicidal thoughts. The person commits suicide. Society correctly assesses that his depression was the main cause in committing suicide. This is apparent, because it was in depression that suicidal thoughts appeared.

The biggest piece of advice I have is to not invest any money in a startup if 100% loss of capital would meaningfully affect your life. (n.b. This is the same advice I would give would-be founders and early employees. If your kids can't afford juice boxes unless the startup succeeds, take the offer from AmaGooBook instead.)

Otherwise, pg has an article which better articulates pieces of advice I wanted to give like "start being a source of dumb money attached to someone you trust who did this before." See here: http://www.paulgraham.com/angelinvesting.html

> hands-off investment

> I'd like to avoid getting screwed

Those are two mutually-exclusive desires. If someone else is running the show and you aren't in the loop, then they will almost certainly be able to screw you if they choose to. At the very least, to avoid being screwed you'll need to be able to make a credible threat of suing them if they choose to screw you. The more hands-off you are the less credible that threat will be.

Investing is like any other job. There's no free lunch, no easy way out, and the more work you do the more likely you and the company are to succeed.

Sure, but that advantage must be one of the individual, not of society.

Genes are selfish -- they help society only insofar as it helps the individual. They will never choose society's benefit over the individual's.
Yeah, that's true.

And it's good to remind HN that there are other marketing methods they might not have tried.

I don't think anyone here is arguing that smoking pot (or in general "doing drugs") raises IQ scores... Nor do I see arguing that high IQ scores cause pot use, just that the presence of a high IQ seems to, if the study is to be believed, increase the probability of pot use. Correlations and probabilities are interesting for themselves, and can in fact be used to imply causation. http://www.amazon.com/Causality-Reasoning-Inference-Judea-Pe...
If you have a high IQ then it is that much easy for you,
1)to find what you want (age<20), like drugs
2)and be richer(age>30) than many folks , so you can drink a lot.
