Great post. I stopped drinking for good 2 years ago, after 20 odd years of being drunk pretty much every night. For me, the enjoyment was gone, and only the habit remained, along with a pile of worries about if/when my health would fail. After a rough few days, I've not looked back, and have no plans to drink again (I could never moderate). I too have lost weight, feel great, and still enjoy parties. My wife is somewhat dismayed that the stupid behaviour she put down to the drink is actually the real me and my warped mind! If you like drinking and can drink in moderation, then keep going, but if you need to stop, then go for it. Just stop fully, and stay stopped. NB: I found Allen Carr's "Easy Way to Control Alcohol" book useful - he uses some great imagery I found helpful in the early days after stopping.
The economics are different. I'm assuming you mean the guys writing the programs that run trading platforms. Those guys are super specialists and for their employers a small boost in performance means a huge boost in revenue for the day. Also from some first hand account I've read from here and on Reddit the job is very demanding. You can get called in at any time to write something that needs to be done by the next morning. It comes with its perks of pay but the trade off is freedom.
I've flown MD 88's that had been storaged like that. Wow they failed so often! once they had pass the initial maintenance and start flying, you still have to change docens of electronic parts ( like sensors, switches, or computers!) along the months, because they fail so badly.
I don't know if that particular planes suffered a specially bad storage but they were a pain to fly...
I got the distinct impression that John really expected he was getting in on the ground floor of some kind of huge trendy movement by being a virtual facebook martyr. When said movement failed to materialize en masse he was left only with a nagging suspicion Pierre, his wife's farmville partner may want to do more than trade pumpkins but John sadly lacks a suitable account to stalk around and check.
So your startup will basically do what videojs.com (http://videojs.com/) does + DRM? I guess it could work but maybe very easy to duplicate. At least from how I understand your approach.

Interviewstreet hiring visual design engineers
InterviewStreet solves technical hiring. We were doing ok holding a single, giant programming recruiting contest every 3 months, but now that we're on track to hold a CodeSprint every weekend (see bit.ly/cs2postmortem) the UX challenge is daunting. What used to be able to be relayed via personal email now has to be codified and scaled, and there are entirely new design problems that arise when you have that many CodeSprints.

We are a team of 5 based in MountainView who work relentlessly hard and funded by top-tier investors. But the more important metric to track is the growth in the number of programmers in our system (which is phenomenal btw) and customers who're using our product (Facebook, Amazon, Quora, etc.) - we've been growing rapidly in both fronts.

We're looking for the nearly mythical interaction designer that not only is able to own the entire user flow (for both programmers and companies) but also is able to inject a functionally pleasing personality to the site.

We meet companies personally and have a sense of what they expect in the product & flow. But brainstorming with a designer in this field is going to result in very high output.

Please contact [mike+ux@interviewstreet.com OR vivek+ux@interviewstreet.com] with your information and a link to your portfolio.

The InterviewStreet Story so far...

Vivek (co-founder) started out at Amazon, where he did a ton of technical interviewing. He realized that, 80% of the time, he could have just given them an automated test instead of spending 20 minutes on each candidate. Vivek wrote a web application to do just that, saving himself days of interviews every month, and InterviewStreet was born. Amazon was, and still is, customer #1.

While at YCombinator, we noticed that a lot of programming screens are largely similar, and figured that we could make a Common App, an SAT of sorts, for technical hiring. Programmers only have to solve a single set of programming problems (algorithmic challenges and real-world problems), instead of one per company that they're applying to. Thus, we created CodeSprint, which had over 5000 programmers applying for 85 companies, including Facebook, Microsoft, and Dropbox. We believe that, in addition to automated applicant screening, CodeSprint is the future of hiring.

Besides, spammers care more about being able to circumvent Gmail's spam filtering than they care about circumventing your own system.
No. It's a video on demand service. Also planning on doing live channels and some other stuff. Right now our plan is to serve content in HTML5 but it doesn't really have DRM. So I think that will limit the content we can get from studios.
A very interesting and timely article coming right at the time when I am reevaluating the launch functionality for my Asian "yelp-like" startup what2do.asia and after just having a series of meetings with seed/vc investors.

The interesting thing is that the Asian local search market has never really been cracked, it is highly fragmented and travel patterns and local search needs are very different. Anyway thanks for posting this and sharing, it has provided some great insights.

Thanks for answering. I really appreciate it.

I thought the "keep skill sharp, network, deliver the goods" advice was just BS. But it seems to be good.

Insecure people drink because they can't deal with their real selves. If you're secure with who you are, you won't need to alter your mind to do something.
How are you differentiating this service from yubnub?
they may also get no stock or options. when they are young, recently educated, as you say they will jump on for the combination of novelty and a chance to grow and extend themselves.

when it comes time to pay them fairly, either after they have acquired the experience or simply you raise enough money to do so, fair becomes determined by what they get elsewhere.
You as an individual have the freedom to choose to sit in your home and get drunk. That is your choice.

I like your drugs and alchohol analogy.

With free software, you as an individual have the freedom to do whatever you want with it in your home. That is your choice. You do not have the freedom to prevent others from modifying or reproducing it. Because when you do those things you take away the freedom of choice of others, you impose your will, you take away their right to modify and reproduce the software.

The point you seem to be missing is that licensing software is not something you do to the software. It's something you do to other people.
These are F-16, there's nearly 5000 of them worlwide and the US happens to have most of them. These 4 just happen to be parked next to each other and belonging to armed forces it's not surprising that they're parked in a very similar way. Note that there is slight differences in the placement of items around them.

Just because it's Area 51 doesn't mean there's a conspiracy everywhere...

This seems a bit weird to me. If I could choose exactly how Facebook shares my data with other people, I would probably not choose "Disclose to my creepy ex that I still have his or her number in my phone (even if I have my profile completely locked down and am not friends with my creepy ex on Facebook), but make it difficult for people I trust with my phone number to take my phone number and put it wherever they like."
Why don't you add href='#' and return false from the click event. Nothing gets added to the history that way.

Better yet, add a href='/uri/to/script' as a fallback in case the user has JS disabled.

In the case of Da Vinci, Einstein, Tesla and a select number of others I think that thinking of them that way is well justified.

The general idea is that if the time is ripe for an idea then someone somewhere will have it, and if that someone would not exist someone else will have the idea a short while after.

But for the men mentioned above I highly doubt that would be the case, they were both way ahead of the curve at the time.
I upvote because it's interesting, but I have the sneaking suspicion that it's all wrong. Home video didn't disappear, it went to YouTube. Browsing still exists, as active who has looked through Netflix, Hulu, or any other service can attest to. Having that right image is sill an important conveyance of style.

But yet, I still upvote. I can't help but feel this potential loss of so much film can be avoided. Maybe someone at Archive.org can work to verify rights holders who want to donate their work to the public domain and have their work soured there. So what if most of it's bad?

We live in the first time in history where we actually can save everything. Why not do it?

There are many times more engineers in New York than in SV

do you mean software engineers? That would surprise me.
Edit: Thanks ars. I guess it's because one of my posts was downvoted 5 times without explanation.

Or maybe because I suggested fluoride was rat poison in another post. I've obviously offended someone, or broken some rule I wasn't aware of.

At any rate, I'm kind of used to this kind of insidious censorship on the web. It's probably the reason why the web is becoming such a worthless place to spend one's time.
I have "normal" FaceBook friends (ala non-tech, don't care about data and privacy, add every survey application, etc.) Removed myself from FB recently. They call me by phone. Business contacts are on LN (a different discussion) and I throw what I feel are interesting posts I find to G+ (another discussion). Though, perhaps in the (large) demo of the populace utilizing FB, you might be thought of as Dead (where is _?), but hardly ridiculous. Some of those same "FB normals" did consider my leaving an effective declaration of real-life unfriending. Is that a big deal? Not to me :D
When I did use PGP and just signed my mail, people regularly asked about my garbled message (pgp/inline) or broken attachments (pgp/mime). So, fix everybodys email client first, please.
I was a trader at an investment bank's prop desk. My salary was $200k+bonus when I was 20. When I left a year later I was offered 350+150 guaranteed minimum bonus to stay. But I built algorithms from concept, testing, all the way through to design.

I had a team of coders and optimisers working for me whose salaries topped off at 150 all in, 200 for the one who could turn out assembly that ran in milliseconds.

I always saw my job as being finding in-efficiencies and irrationalities; they saw it as coding. I happened to code (and not all that brilliantly, hence the support). But the argument that pure developers should be compensated richly doesn't gel with the argument that programming is the new literacy.
A software license is a form of contract that individuals are free to accept or not. If you disagree with the contract, you are free not to use the software.

Here's another analogy. If I build a restaurant and want it to be non-smoking, I'm not restricting your freedom. You are free not to come to my restaurant.
How does HN formatting work?
I was under the impression this (href=uri, js fallback) was the accepted standard, is it not?
Pirate it, bitch.
I agree, as a general point. When you are completely dedicated to an ideology, you don't have to worry about how it affects real, actual people. You don't have to morally weigh the consequences of your actions because you've already decided a priori which actions are right and which are wrong. Perhaps that's the difference between conviction and fanaticism.

A drunk walker careening into traffic poses no threat? Must note the "level" of drunkenness; motor skills at acceptable level but "above" limit per-law? You can still get public intoxication fines / jail, as well as a DUI if you hop on a bike (also highly dangerous).
This gave me an interesting thought. You mention that those trading jobs are supposed to be very demanding, implicitly citing this as a reason for their higher salaries. Well, any time a subjective factor like that affects a salary, it is based purely on people's perception of the job. It seems to me that the typical perception of startup work is equally demanding. It's odd that instead of resulting in higher salaries, the benefit is diverted to the (statistically poor) hope of a big IPO or acquisition. This is ironic since the trading firms paying $250k+ to programmers are all about maximizing profits in an environment that could be even more volatile and risky than the startup world. It makes me wonder who has the smarter approach to risk...

"the fact that they track it it can seriously screw you if in the wrong hand"

exactly. the whole darned point is that I care more about my personal information than Google does. It matters little whether they are actively drooling over our personal details, or passively collecting them. The fact that Google might be permanently storing cross-references between your searches for "herpes medication" and "communist party" with your emails to grandma and job applications... I dunno, might give you just a little pause for thought.
What is caffeine then?
I worked an overnight shift as a TV news producer, and was told to watch a recording of an earlierweb conference. The entire thing was a recording of the wrong monitor. I tried explaining to my boss that watching this wouldn't help me learn the new software, as if such oversight is required for most heavy computer users, but he insisted I watch it anyway, just so he could tell corporate everyone had seen it.

After he failed to understand that the video contained no video of the software, because corporate could do no wrong, I told him I would watch it. The things one does...

Imagine I had a girlfriend from Moldavia totally dependent on me for money and her visa so I could do almost anything to her short of harming her physically just like with a baby. Because she didnt grow up with our material culture she has problems with shopping too much. I want to teach her to better restrain herself so I lock her upin the apartment when I go to work. Of course she screams when I leave but soon she learns how to comfort herself and when I get home she is normal again. Next time she goes out she has learned her lessen, I mustbe a great boyfriend.

I dont understand why positions of power are seen so different just because the weaker party is ones offspring.

It depends what you mean by getting shit done though. The thing about 40-year-olds is that they want fair compensation, have informed opinions, and some of them even have lives. Meanwhile, our industry works by raining money down on the glib or foolishly optimistic, who see engineers as mere implementors. So many managers prefer a compliant 20-year-old who will sacrifice sleep and life to execute on the latest "pivot".

My manager at Google was exactly like this, by the way. Once, after a few drinks at a party, he mused on how he would achieve greatness, striding over the bodies of burnt-out twentysomethings.

(Before you raise an obvious objection: yes, the code was in a shambles, before it even launched. But code quality has rarely been a crucial factor in career success in the Valley, as far as I can tell.)

How comparable would a web app developer and Wall Street dev be?

The basic financial literacy these guys are desired to have is higher than naught. Further, there are different technologies, paradigms, and cultures involved (though at a hedge fund the last part converges).

A test for this would be tech dev salaries in NYC versus SV.
It is, the comments on the blog say as much as well. Use href="#" if a link makes no sense (anything UI-related and ephemeral, basically).
I think for most people, $10 IS too much. Although we all talk tough about privacy, most people (even here) don't have much to hide from anyone, and when the difference between definitely secure, and probably secure (in terms of privacy and ownership of data) is $10, it suddenly feels a lot more expensive.
My understanding of economics and game theory lead me to believe that the free market will eventually take care of this "no-poach" cartel (looks like it's already happening). If I recall correctly, this agreement can be reduced to a "prisoner's dilemma" game: the rational decision for a given company is to cheat the agreement or simply not take part in it.

If I want i.e. I can download offline gmail if I want to. If you see my follow up reply, I did trial Google Apps but it didn't cut it. Part of that trial was to use the MIDP version of Google Mail. I don't use it now but it's there if I wanted to.

It would be unfair of me to blindly criticise Google Mail without trialling it, which I did.

Hope this clears things up.

Besides all proxies, adblocks and incognito modes the world is still scary out there. No matter how hard I try, I always get a "your configuration is unique" message.
Actual buttons annoy me. I like navigating around using just the keyboard, so a lot of the time I just do a search for the link I want to click (ctrl-f on Chrome or ' on Firefox) then just use enter to click the link. This works great when the button is actually just a styled link, but does not work at all with an actual button.

Of course, I'm indubitably in a tiny minority, but it's still something to note.
