Begrudging the 'Google chef' is taking the effects of market forces that influence the relative pay of chefs and software developers, and trying to apply them by sheer assertion to the stock option lottery. The mechanics that influence pay are completely separate from the mechanics that make early employees rich. If a CEO honestly believed that certain workers should not have any chance of getting rich, the consistent thing would be not to offer them options in the first place.

This issue also reeks of the Just-World Fallacy. Individual early employees of wildly successful companies don't get rich because it's fair, even if it sort of works out that way on average. They get rich because someone gave them options, and then the stock skyrocketed. Efforts to explain it in terms of justice are mostly post-hoc rationalization.

Cause is usually defined as willful failure or refusal to perform duties that continues after notice and an opportunity to cure, misappropriation or misuse of company trade secrets, commission of a felony or other action involving moral turpitude, etc. and "good reason" is typically defined as material reduction in compensation or duties, relocation to a remote area, etc.

When a company decides to terminate an early engineer because the 5% they agreed at the start is deemed too high for an engineer, usually the reason given is 'non-performance'. Even though the engineer is performing his engineering duties.

Does a company need to prove that the engineer failed to perform and document it? or is it usually the company's word against the engineer's? What stands up in the court of law as 'failure to perform duties'?

I've heard several times in these threads that Pincus is a sociopath. Can you provide some more detail on that? A quick once-over his WP page doesn't seem to indicate anything particularly shady.

Although I don't think that Zynga has the most ethical business goals out there, I don't think it's bad enough to qualify someone as a sociopath. I'm sure there's a lot of history I don't know about so if you could give me the scoop that'd be great. It will hopefully help other readers engaged in the same search.
Sites like quantcast and alexia are more or less pure bullshit, quantcast even more so because they run a protection racket where you have to pay for their "monitoring services" to improve your rank. I would be suprised if digg was not much, much lower than that.
It's a little more subtle than that. There are usage differences between the perfect and imperfect tenses in both "hung-hanged" and "driven-drove," between active and passive constructions[1], etc. Unfortunately, most native speakers aren't any more savvy to this than they are to what remains of the English subjunctive.

1. It will always be "I drove to the store" and "I was driven to the store" and "I am a driven person," never "I driven to the store" or "I was drove to the store" or "I am a drove person."

Have you ever actually gotten into a serious fight with someone in public? As tensions rise, you tend to become oblivious to the world around you. You don't need to be screaming to draw attention to a somewhat raised, agitated voice. Especially if everyone around you becomes silent. You can't expect rational behavior from two emotionally involved people being angry at each other.

They have no expectation of privacy

Which doesn't mean we shouldn't grant it to them. If we would only ever give people what they were legally entitled to, the world would be an awful place.

Early employees were given certain number of stock options based on what Zynga was valued at that time. They should not take it back now, period. They can implement any policy going forward but it's taking the stock options from early employees is a problem. Early employee should not be treated as stepping stones and the "meritocracy" ploy is just that.
Most Canadians I know are used to hitting 'c' three times. It skips you past Cameroon and Cambodia and selects Canada. I suspect people from other countries behave similarly?

This totally breaks that expected behavior for me. Maybe it should, maybe "it's time" for that.

I suppose I can get similar behavior with this by typing "ada".

I've been here 6 years, and my observation has been that the startup culture as a whole leans away from MS, if anything. Startups founded by ex-Microsoft employees do seem to be more likely to use Microsoft tech, but certainly not always. But remember that the wider tech scene here is much more than just Microsoft. Amazon is a big force, and Google has a respectable presence too. Also, mobile development is huge here now, and almost all of it is for iPhone or Android.

Quantcast's traffic / reach and demographics measurement are free for anyone. I am aware of nobody that pays us for website traffic measurement or website demographics measurement, and I work on the demographics at qc. I think comscore charges, or perhaps used to charge, for their measurement product, but I could be mistaken. If you don't have us confused w/ comscore then I have literally no idea what you're talking about.

The above said, I'm just a dev, and you should not take that as Quantcast's official position on anything. If you want an official position you should ask our spokesperson.

There is also a cultural element to consider. Some regions, like Japan, prefer high-information density, cluttered UIs.

I don't know if it's so bad. In textual communication, we don't have inflection, body language, or many of the other elements that can imbue a face-to-face conversation with certain meanings or tones. One way to convey a friendly tone can be the employment of loose-yet-intelligible grammar, spelling, and punctuation in your messages; it assumes a certain degree of familiarity and can dissuade notions of stiffness and reinforce notions of laxity.

In some situations, the formality of exact punctuation and grammar can be unsettling. Perhaps discussion of something as business-like as stock options is not the time to drop the formality, but it isn't necessarily a sign of disrespect; in fact, it could be the opposite.
Most of Europe is the same too. Employment laws are pretty onerous. This is great for employees and I think more or less works in mature industries and businesses (think of a 10 year employee, who gets a new boss that they dont get on with so the boss just fires them).

This stricter regulation does make starting businesses very difficult, and a definite advantage the US has over Europe.

I think the answer is combination of the two where there is some kind of threshold where new/small companies have more freedom to dismiss, but forces larger businesses to treat their employees fairly.

Being in similar situation myself, I think it's not self-discipline. It's just that deep inside you don't see the point. Although sometimes extrinsic motivation becomes strong enough that you hammer things out, you're not generally interested in doing these.

What is needed here IMO is somewhat opposite of self-discipline.

You don't make something important or interesting by thinking that it's important. It must naturally be important for you, you need to be intrinsically interested in this. That state of affairs we normally don't verbalise or contemplate on.

I doubt that you can come to that with self-discipline. It must be something else. You need to trick yourself.

Possible ways might be introducing some short-term psychological reward, or—better—learning to enjoy the process. My opinion is that some high-achieving people might actually use some psychological tricks like these without knowing about it.

Its not about chef or a Janitor or whatever. Why are these people acting as though only a few have the right to be rich?

Why can't a Janitor be rich? Why can't a chef be rich? What really is so wrong with it? This attitude is so despicable! So anybody who doesn't go to a big Ivy league, or some one who doesn't have an MBA next to his name or hasn't worked at a investment bank can't be rich?

Which in case, what this really turns out to be is alternate form of slavery where a selected few have to resign themselves to a lesser standard of life to serve the remaining self chosen elite and act in every way such that the elite are benefiting.

If you want some job to be done and you are ready to pay for it, money/stock or whatever. And you promise and the contract so. You just need to pay up. That's it, it ends there.

You don't get the work done, squeeze the juice out of the employees. Then one fine day realize that what you promised is now worth a lot of money. So you suddenly dump them, loot all the money yourself and say that they don't deserve it.

You had promised that it was worth paying something for some one from some work. So now when it is time to pay up. Just pay.
Germany is the land of tech startups. But not Web technologies. Germany is predominantly engineering based. And the industry is more in the south.

Germany is ideal if you want to work on the latest car assistant systems, on technologies for building the next generation skyscrapers in Dubai and China, or on green technologies. Programming is often a byproduct of those development, but those are interesting fields non the less.
It's never appropriate for a company to presume to consume an employee's entire life. It is not OK, even if an employee is (foolishly) willing. Taking advantage of the short-sightedness of others is unethical.

The intellectual justification is probably something like:

Hiring someone always represents a risk. You don't know if the person is going to succeed at the job you hired them for. You don't know if they're going to wind up a positive asset to the company. You need the option of firing them, and the possibility that you might wind up in a legal battle because you did so -- that even if you have an airtight case, you'll have to lawyer up and spend time in a court room -- is scary and could therefore have a chilling effect on hiring in the first place.
This is essentially a Trolley problem that people are getting quite indignant about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem

Here's an oversimplified example that mirrors the classic Trolley problem:

Suppose the company consists of three people: The founder, the engineer and the chef. The founder can't raise more money from investors and she realizes that if she fires the chef it'll free up 200K ISOs which can be used to recruit a sysadmin. Without a sysadmin the startup will fail. If the founder gives up her own shares, she loses control of the company to one of the investors, who she knows will sell the company to cash out immediately. If she stays in control, the founder aspires to grow the business to 20x its current size. Should the founder fire the chef?

Don't you have to type in the number anyway? It sounds like a keylogger would just get it a little later if you wrote it down on paper first.

One potential reason it's preferable to use an innocuous, generic text editor is the potential supposition by an attacker that they only need to infect and/or monitor the card processing application. If someone spreads a malicious update that has a built-in keylogger only for that application, for instance, copy+paste from the non-infected program would stop it from recording the data.

Though I think that's stretching it a bit. Maybe your auditors encountered something similar previously?

Actually, Google+ is doing fairly well among bloggers, especially tech bloggers. Some references: [1] [2].

Also, success of a product does not mean ditching competitors (although one of the report does even suggest that!), it means gaining sufficient acceptance initially, so that later it becomes a valid option to ditch competitors.

For example: I was an Orkut user (was not happy with it) for quite a long time (1 year or so), even after joining facebook. Not because Facebook was not good or successful but because there was already some engagement at Orkut that cannot be replaced in a jiffy.

I'm used to looking at very visual samples in a grid format because it allows for more large images to be shown in a row. Things like furniture, clothing, templates... For things that require some text descriptions (such as tech specs), I think a list view is superior.
I'm a colleague of the author, and I have talked to him quite a bit about C-Path since I work on something related. While I agree with much of what you are saying, I disagree slightly with your comment that the article is "principally, about a new morphological feature that the researchers believe is tied more strongly to survival according to their computational model."

The significance here is that he extracted 6000 low-level morphological features without any pre-conception about their usefulness. He then used GLMNET (logistic regression with L1-regularization) to automatically pick which of these features was important. Then, the craziest part is that the most informative features were not even cancer cells, but rather, surrounding stromal tissue. To quote from the paper, "Pathologists currently use only epithelial features in the standard grading scheme for breast cancer and
other carcinomas. Our findings suggest that evaluation of morphologic features of the tumor stroma may offer significant benefits for assessing prognosis." He essentially took a completely blinded, machine learning technique to find features that have been relatively ignored in pathology.

I think this is more indicative of a new paradigm in computer vision and machine learning in general that finely-tuned, human-crafted features can be beat with more automatic methods. Whereas before, we have tried to program features that characterize what we see, now we are finally looking at image features that can characterize what we're missing.

It is very hard for a company to prove willful failure to perform duties when an engineer is actually executing on assigned projects, or at least attempting in good faith to execute. Engineers who have contractual protection against termination without cause are usually well-protected against arbitrary terminations on "non-performance" grounds and the company has to do a lot more than loosely assert (in "he said / she said" fashion) that someone's performance comes up short. Moreover, in most cases, the contract clause will specify that, in order to effect a termination on this ground, the company must give notice to the employee specifying why the performance is inadequate and give the employee a window within which to cure any defects in performance. This makes it doubly difficult to terminate someone on non-performance grounds because the charges have to be detailed and there will always be an argument about whether any deficiencies were cured if the employee is actually trying to perform all assigned duties. The company can try to document such cases all it wants but will normally hold a losing hand in trying to prove "cause" on that ground in such cases.

The Zynga cases are different, however, because the employees being squeezed in those cases are almost certainly pure at-will employees who have no contractual protection against being terminated without cause. Without the contractual protection, such employees can be terminated for pretty much any reason in the normal case and, if "non-performance" is cited as the reason, the company does not need to prove anything to back this up. "Non-performance" in such cases is often nothing more than a label used to rationalize a decision made on who knows what ground (e.g., on the ground that the company just wants to get someone's potentially valuable stock back before it vests).
