The author is describing a lot of negative legal aspects in his country that make running a successful business nigh impossible.
Employers: More often than not, you get what you pay for. Saving a few bucks in salary will probably cost you in the long run.

Employees: Negotiate your salary realistically. Embellish too much and you'll find yourself negotiating your salary again (probably with a NEW potential employer) sooner than you'd like.
How much space will this program require. I advise a bunch of coworking spaces in NYC so I might be able to convince one of them to help provide a location.
I think what you're getting at is that the majority of SEO is pretty straightforward - I know what you mean about rarely discovering something new from SEO sites. The final x% is a bit more challenging.

At one point I put together a pretty basic site with one backlink and barely any attention to content and accidentally ranked #1 in Australia for "make money". One particular page on that site is four paragraphs I threw together and it's made $24k in four years for no effort since. I've had a few other events along those lines too, mostly leveraging the past property I built up and using that as a backlink.
As far as I know the rant is about Hungary, not the European Union in general. Labour and tax laws aren't the same everywhere in Europe, and the Hungarian economy is hardly representative of the EU's.

Reproducing Silicon Valley is another story. Arguably it's very hard to do even in NY or other parts of US that are more or less similar to California. After all, labour law is just one of many factors. For instance, even with all that overhead, I bet it's still much cheaper to hire a bunch of top-notch, English-speaking programmers in Hungary than in California.
You don't necessarily have to have been coding for a long time. You just have to be smart, love programming, and be willing to learn. If you're not sure, apply anyway :)
"After spending all day on a client's project, it's tough to get enough momentum on my own stuff."

"How hard would it be to maintain a 30 to 40 hour client workload"

One thing that I learned early on (which forced me to sell my first company before pursuing another opportunity) was that you have much more time than you have energy. Which is essentially what you are saying. The distractions of day to day things takes away from creativity and drive.

On the plus side you will be in a completely new environment which I think is essential to even having a chance of making this work. The fact that the school is essentially full time 4 days a week will allow you to work the other 3 days, say 10 hours per day. So that is the decision you have to make. Do you feel you can work 7 days a week for the time period of the program.

Keep in mind though that once you have completed the program you will still have to find the time to keep up your skills in whatever you have learned and you will still have the pressing needs of your current customers as well as the handcuffs of the income that they provide. That's going to be difficult to transition off of in my opinion.
Wait, twitter has billing info on its users?
It's not a lie when I say I need 1.5 Y. I'll be super happy to get that. However I might settle for Y reluctantly. There's no lying involved. Besides I have no way of knowing what they got approved.
I do have an idea I would like to work on. Something that fits very well with YC or possibly another incubator. The reason I would need an incubator is because it is a social networking type of app, (though I hate to draw the image of a Facebook or Twitter clone) and would be difficult to monetize without a gaining fair bit of traction first, not for the lack of a possible business model. I think the best way that I can describe it is that it is something that I myself wish had existed and would love to use.

I didn't specify a location because it isn't extremely important, but I would prefer to have a partner in the NY/NJ area where I live or the Boston area where I go to college. I prefer working with people face-to-face, but have no problems working remotely from time to time either. The main reason I want a US partner is because I would like to be able to go to an incubator together, or any other things we may feel are great opportunities.

The reason I want a partner is precisely for the reasons you mentioned. I want someone who will help me learn, motivate each other, and ultimately wants to try and accomplish something awesome!
Me saying "mock startup" was probably a bad term to use, plus I'm probably missing the use case of hacker school. What I really meant was to work on something larger scale as a team. For an example make a clone of hn or reddit, do a web app and mobile, maybe even build multiple versions in different languages.

From Dave and Nick's reply it sounds like they tried something along those lines, but learned that people got a lot more value out of working on a number of various smaller sized projects, which is great.

I know that some only apply once the company goes past 50 people; I was working for a startup as employee #4 and was looking at the rules for paternity leave (with respect to my then imminent second child) around the time the company passed 50 employees, and it at least kicked in some features of California law, if not Federal law.
It wasn't that hard to explain and we didn't feel that the people we talked to had much difficulty understanding it.
Some Useful and Relevant Suggestions on Making a Food Logo Design
Making a food logo is the first very important task of marketing and promoting one’s newly established business. If your business is relating to restaurant or a hotel, then your task can be slightly easier than other forms of business. Because, here you will get many options of drawing that you can apply. If you have a creative mind, you can come up with many drawing ideas and elements that you can apply.

Why do you think being able to fire any employee for any reason is not a good idea?
I mis-clicked and accidentally downvoted you whereas I intended to give you an upvote. Looks like I can't unvote, so please someone up this back one notch.
Well, in short:

1. Anti-discrimination laws still apply, even in at-will states in the USA, but all that means is that the employer has to state that they fired the employee for ANYTHING ELSE, even if it's actually for a discriminatory reason.

2. Being fired without cause means gives greater opportunity for employers to abuse their employees - and, considering the general principles of game theory, it WILL happen.

3. Notice vs. cause can be separate things, but many people nowadays don't have the ability to survive longer than a couple of weeks to a few months without a job, and being fired without any notice can literally ruin someone's life.

Again, this is only a personal view - I'm no economist, and I don't pretend to have all the answers. So, please take this with several grains of salt :)
Please see my response to kiba, below. I'll reiterate, though - it's a personal view, and I'm no economist, so please take it with several grains of salt :)

Very difficult, if not impossible, to get a visa without a degree. Also you'll never be able to work "for food" because US immigration requires you get paid at above market levels so US citizens are not put out of a job. Finally, you'd have to show your skills are in demand and scarce- which I doubt design is. You'd have more luck being a nurse or teacher. Your best bet is getting into a US university.
I actually agree with your point there - if the employee wants the privilege of being able to quit at a moment's notice, they should also be willing to give up their employment protection. However, if the employee is willing to give notice, then there should be equal protection for the employee.
I added in support for http://ipinfodb.com/ (see bottom of README) which might be better than Google's api, although you need to register for an API key.
You might want to give that a shot.
I'd never have any employees. Independent contractors all the way.
Just because you can't say it, doesn't mean its not in the back of every hiring managers mind. I've certainly heard people refer to it privately.

Anything that increases the base costs of starting a business, such as these, will reduce entrepreneurship.
Yeah, I had the same problem.

There was no quick fix, I just swam twice a week for years until (a) my muscles became more used to the exercise and (b) I learnt to relax and enjoy it.

I've found that not kicking at all and focussing purely on the arm movements helped a lot.

In fact, I swam 2km yesterday without kicking at all.

It's a great story on how the then-CEO of FusionIO David Bradford got Woz to join FIO. Great reminder for startups to not be afraid to shoot for moon and also take advantage of every moment.

Taken from: http://utahvalleybusinessq.com/cover-stories/the-human-inter...

Q: I’ve been waiting to hear this story!
Bradford: I was in Sun Valley, Idaho, to do a little one-hour speech for the Utah Bar Association. As I was leaving the venue, I saw a piece of paper on a table that said the keynote speaker was Steve Wozniak. And I thought, “I gotta hang around for this.” So I went into the auditorium and sat down next to a beautiful young lady named Julie Roebuck. I introduced myself, and she did the same. Turns out she was Steve Wozniak’s executive assistant.

Q: Now there’s a handy coincidence.
Bradford: I’d say so. I told her about my background, and she said, “You have to meet Steve. He’ll be thrilled to talk to another tech guy.” So after his keynote, I went up, shook his hand and told him all about Fusion-io. The conversation ended with me saying, “Gosh, would you like to be on our advisory board?”

Q: That takes guts!
Bradford: You’d think so. But I believed in what we were doing. So I sent him an e-mail invitation later that night, and within 24 hours I got a reply back saying he’d be honored to join our team. I thought, “Are you kidding me? How did we do that?” Woz gets opportunities like this thrown at him constantly, and to have him accept was a complete privilege and thrill. But the best part? After meeting with Fusion-io’s executives, David Flynn and Rick White, Steve asked to play a larger role in the company.

Q: Now that’s a compliment.
Bradford: It was crazy. How does this little Utah-based tech company do that? In retrospect — and I say this somewhat tongue and cheek — it may just be the greatest hire in the history of technology companies.

Q: And it all started because you picked up a flier.
Bradford: Sometimes the best jobs and opportunities are ones you walk in on.
I feel that the only way I can advance my current position is by getting other job offers, but I don't want to be that guy.

I have found this strategy very effective over the years. I have only been working full time since 2004, and since then my salary has gone from 30k to 110k. I have never taken a job that paid less than the previous one, and on a few occasions I have used competing offers to get raises, or just taken the other job. People may look down on the fact that I have worked for 5 companies in 5 years, but at the same time I have learned a great deal, experienced lots of vastly different company cultures, and I've increased my salary by double in the past 3 years alone.

The secret to getting large salary increases when switching jobs and to avoid getting held back by salary history is to show how you are worth more to the new company than you were to the old one. For example, when I took a job that paid 50k as a junior PHP dev, I spent a year learning object oriented PHP5 and payment processing. I used this experience to land a job paying 58k working on high traffic sites where I learned caching, scaling, and performance tuning. I used this experience to get a job paying 70k working on an advanced ad serving platform running on a cluster of 50 servers, where I learned about load balancing. I used this experience to get a job paying 96k working for ClearChannel, working on syndicated radio shows, where I learned about streaming audio and video. This experience landed me at a stealth mode startup where I'm making 110k plus stock options. Each step of the way, the experience I gained at the last job made me more valuable than my last salary, so the new company offered more, and I didn't even have to ask the first few times (though the last two times, the same recruiter did the asking on my behalf).
Europe (at least in my country, eastern Europe) has strict social security laws. Firms cannot fire a person if he/she takes a vacation for child care (men are encouraged to do that too!). The vacation lasts up to 2 years (IIRC). The time is paid for by the government, but you lose your highly-qualified and trained employee for 2 years.

Facts aside, I don't approve the author making such a big thing of it though it sometimes may be an issue (if you're hiring for a long project where replacing people is REALLY expensive).
What are the ethical concerns about using this and storing the data? If I wanted to use this on my site, should I let visitors know, or is this data fair game to store? I rather not use the location data (or any of it) if there could be an issue.
It's possible to arrange such things contractually.
I just got that, not quite sure what the cause of mine is. It happened immediately after I recursed though, so I wonder if that has something to do with it?

edit: apparently not, that's working now. Still not sure what caused it, though.

edit2: you can get it by calling non-existent methods on RubyWarrior classes - try .feel.archer? for example. I don't remember if this is what I did for my exact error, but it's likely it was something similar.

That blogpost made me kind of like a celeb, a bloghero or something. Fact is, that single blogpost generated half a million pageviews, 91141 Facebook likes in a matter of days. It was covered on national television, I was "the blogger of the week" at the biggest local blog provider (blog.hu), a whole bunch of responses were written by big names in the trade.

Newmedia analysts were trying to figure out what made it such a big meme, out of the blue, from totally nothing, without any mainstream media promotion. People shared it like hell, on Facebook. Likes were rising by hunderds, by the second. Like this: 30145, F5, 30359 ...

Start a company. Hire some people. Run it for, say, ten years. Come back and review what you just said.

Mark Twain: Someone holding a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.
More and more you are compelled to own the corporation that represents you in business. So we can get around onerous government regulation. We are taxed to pay for the private-public crony-capitalism complex. It may be costly or unconscionable for me to hire you--or to be hired and paid as an individual taxpayer--and let that money go freely into corruption. But we can hire the other's company. How your company uses its money and treats its employees is your business.
Notepad++ doesn't have the 'runs on non-Windows platforms' feature, which is a bit of a dealbreaker.
He didn't say he would never hire a woman or an old person, he said he wouldn't hire a woman or an old person in the context of a startup.

$3.99, to be exact, but that 99 is BS psychology that I think should be illegal.

Is this serious?
Those are certainly valid concerns, though that does bring in a lot of grey area definitions for valid reasons to fire someone that are hard to define :(

I submitted a post about this at one point, but Hungary is going through really terrible cultural and political troubles. I really feel for the Hungarian people - in that context, the frustration in this post makes much more sense.
Right, but my opinion is that the protection option should be the default, with employee (and employer!) free to negotiate a mutually beneficial agreement.

In my mind, it's a matter of inertia - if "protected" is default, then if an employer wishes to have the ability to fire anyone at will, they need to offer concessions - whether it be a higher salary, or the ability to quit at will, or whatever.

However, if "not protected" is the default case, then it becomes far more difficult for an employee to obtain such protection, as it's not beneficial to the employer. And as such, barring anyone who can negotiate their own contract (the minority, generally), most people will remain unprotected. And I believe that to be a problem, for reasons I mentioned elsewhere in this comment thread.

H1-B requires 4 year bachelor or 3 years of professional experience in the relevant field for each missing academic year. The only other working visa I can think of is the O-1, which is given to "outstanding individuals", which basically means high profile researchers, world renown designers etc.

I really want to use an editor like this with a bunch of awesome features, but since I've had vim's navigation/language imprinted on my brain, I can't use another editor without the experience being excruciating.

Luckily, a good portion of the useful functionality in Sublime Text 2 can be ported to vim, which makes me a happy camper.
Hah, I'll freely admit that I'm not experienced with the "other end of the cat", as it were. But I do stand by my personal principles, even thought they might be inconvenient. And as I mention in my reply to InclinedPlane, I'm not saying that I'm completely opposed to the concept - but rather that at-will should be a contractual option, rather than a default.

Amazon EC2 Monitoring with CloudWatch and Node.js
After using Nagios and Hyperic (and disliking both), I stumbled upon Splunk - decided I loved it - then proceeded to implement something similar using Node.js and AWS CloudWatch (also wrote the node-cloudwatch npm package). Many months later, I refactored the original, over-engineered version (websocket-streaming logs!) into something simpler. This is what I came up with.

Louis C.K.’s lesson for marketers: Honesty is the best strategy
Try the "Billy Joel" test. Billy Joel taught a class. He
talked about a song he wrote. Originally he thought of it
as a Reggae song (which he demonstrated), but then thought
of it as broadway (demo), then country (demo), the rock
(demo)... same song, different style, and he could do it
on the fly.

So can you write an algorithm (e.g. search, sort, regex)
in recursive style, OO-style, table-driven style,
procedural style, functional style, domain-specific
language style, etc.? Does the stylistic change flow off
your fingers?

I think I should correct myself -- when I say that I want to create a clone news community "for art", I really meant "for artists".

On hacker news, you don't see a lot of articles called "Look at this awesome new app!" -- instead you see stuff about the guys who made this "awesome app" and all the successes and failures that they've overcome.

As an artist, there comes a time where you don't want to look at other people's "awesome new art". You want to read about what drives them, or how they got started (and in the process learn about their awesome new art). I want to read about what's going on in the art market, and what people are predicting for the future of art. I want to read articles from the curator's perspective, from the collectors' perspective, the viewer's perspective.

I think the best way to get this is a non-visual system user-driven aggregation system like HN. Y'all have an awesome community of smart people submitting compelling articles... I'm simply jealous.

Notepad++ uses Scintilla, the core component of GTK+ editor SciTE, so that basically any non-Windows platform that runs X11 is covered.

Notepad++ is somewhat nicer though.

Sublime Text on the other hand feels simultaneously like a fresh break from the Emacs tradition and like a true gem among the proliferation of half-baked notepad replacements like notepad2 (Scintilla-based, too), gedit or Kate.

It adopts best features from Vim and TextMate in a surprisingly clean way.
