The legal principle is "right of first sale". In the 9th circuit at least, it can be abridged by a shrink wrap license:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernor_v._Autodesk,_Inc.

Ignoring the legal issue, second-hand purchase of software with license keys, particularly on ebay, is dangerous because those keys may be in use by other people. If the software uses an internet licensing server, it might disable itself because the key is already in use. Buying windows on ebay is a good example.

I think what they mean is say you have a bit of obsfucated, minified, and or complex JavaScript code you want to reverse engineer. You can start writing a an "unobsfucated" version in JS, pseudocode, whatever you wanted....and use source-mapping to switch between looking/working on that and the original in the debugger all while the browser is actually executing the original code (negating worries that your translation is incomplete or behaves differently, these are concerns during certain steps of the process...obviously you want to end up with a perfect translation in the end)

That would be a useful tool in reverse engineering.

* Workout like a horse. Best cure for depression, ever. The feeling I get when running is so liberating that it usually manages to alleviate 99% of the mood problems.

* Sleep like a rock, when you get the chance. Lack of sleep, among alcohol abuse are the most common causes of depression (at least from my personal observation)

* Hang out with friends, family as much as possible, when you get the chance. They'll constantly remind you why you work so hard. Also try to explain them why are you doing certain tradeoffs in your relationship with them.

* Swallow a boatload of Magnesium + B6. IMHO it's the biggest source of happiness one can buy for little money. It keeps your stress levels in control and your heart condition in shape.

* Meditate. I cannot stress this enough. Constantly talk to yourself when you're alone and seek thoroughly for things that cause distress in your life. Debug yourself. You have to like yourself for others to like you!

* Get a girlfriend that understands you or dump the one that doesn't get it (unless you're already married)
Talk to your co-founder. It sounds like you're pretty sure that the problem can be resolved by taking a break. Try taking a week off. You're no good to your startup is you're burnt out and unable to work. Not taking a week off to rest now could cost you many weeks in the future.

If you take some time off to rest and you don't feel any better seek professional help. Mental health is just as important as physical health and isn't something that you should feel ashamed about.
Would you care to explain your logic behind that judgement? For a non-US citizen, that line of thought can be hard to follow.

>>treating technical people as interchangeable, and therefore assuming that all technical people are mediocre, and therefore assuming that maturity and judgment only exist in management....the ultimate masters of the universe, as they must in certain large corporations, they start to think of management as the final step in human development: infant, child, adolescent, worker, manager.

Back here in India, this mentality is so common and prevalent that it assumed if you don't become a manager within 5 years of you joining the industry you are fit for nothing. Also managerial posts are supposed to be mean't for the best as you mention masters of the universe.

Many people even express shock, when someone above 27-28 codes or is involved in some tech work. Its considered as a sign of incompetence and under performance, like as though the person isn't really ready for the 'actual' stuff yet.

This has already let to huge problems in getting work done in large Indian IT firms. There just aren't good people anymore.

That is a great idea! Even greater would be to extend this to a consistent way to manage windows whose title bar is above to upper screen edge.

Both Windows and Mac OS try pretty hard to avoid this, but with two monitors it happens every now and then--especially when unpluggin/plugging the secondary monitor.

Without the title bar, it can be really hard to get the window back on the screen. Usually involves, if possible, resizing the window so it shows on both screens or unplugging/re-plugging the secondary monitor.

To be fair, where I live we have subsidized health care and mandatory health insurance for everyone, but still many forms of 'preventative health care' are considered unacceptable, an invasion of privacy or belittlement by the government.

For example, nobody is talking about raising taxes on unhealthy food or asking heavy smokers and drinkers to pay more for their health insurance. Or ask them to enroll in some kind of sports or life-style program that would improve their health before it becomes an issue. I would be all for it by the way, but it's basically not part of any discussion by any political party.
I hire them as fast as I can, because they change the world and every minute you can have them in your company is amazing. I think of myself as more of a talent agent, not their boss.

I have 16 direct reports at Twilio and ~50% of them are this type. I am grateful for every day they wake up and say, "Yes I am happy going to work today". I work to earn that time by supporting their goals and projects, empowering them to set their own course, and sketching a rough outline of the goals we have to achieve. I try to find ways that our mission as a company is aligned with their own passions and interests, and try to keep us in sync around if they're satisfied.

And someday, when they leave and build their own things, I will support them and I hope we will have our own Twilio "startup mafia".
Perhaps, but it seems to me that it is a competitive advantage they might not want to give up. More akin to Google's server warehouse design than AWS.
It's sort of an interesting story. I think it does a good job of setting the tone: guy makes enough money in a short enough amount of time to (he believes) warrant excessive drug use. The payoff is interesting though (the Twitter idea). Most articles about validating startup ideas give really vague guidelines for doing it yourself. This way adds more noise to Twitter but it's easily do-able by anyone with a little free time.

>>correlates strongly with caring about more than the paycheck.

Why shouldn't the top contributor worry about his pay check or money?

Top contributor != A person who does great work for free.

Unfortunately this is how it is perceived in the industry. I've seen managers consider top contributors who look for money as evil wealth grabbers. Whereas a guy who does nothing sitting in the next cubicle is still acceptable.
> OK, but what if you're a web app that specializes in authentication (like, say, an Oath provider)

Then I'd hope that you make extra double sure that your user's passwords are secure. Let's call it the cost of business.

> or a database server where the attacker-facing app doesn't use connection pooling?

We're talking how to store user-passwords here, don't we? If your database server passwords get lost or cracked, change them. Use random-generated passwords, don't reuse them.

>> but most websites I've seen so far always had some sort of slow operation that was easily exploitable without authentication

> Yes, but those things are typically easy to optimize or temporarily disable in a hurry once they come under attack. Not so much with authentication.

That depends on the website. If your major content is available unauthenticated, then you might as well go and disable authentication. My major point was that you can't defend against a DOS attack by using a weaker password hash, the attacker will just throw more requests at you. In a DOS, the attacker does have the advantage of needing less computational ressources.
Seems much easier to use than Fat free http://fatfree.sourceforge.net/

You should evolve this into a solid/flexible micro framework.
It might be. Suppose that you're hiring service staff - a waiter or waitress is a good example. It is often better to show a professional respect for their abstraction layers than to invite them to talk about the fact that they're aspiring to become an actor or actress. Asking such a person "what are your priorities?" is first off the invitation, "bullshit me, I want to see how well you do." So they might answer "well, my first priorities are making people happy and cleaning tables." That's a hoop -- needless or not I'll leave you to judge, but demanding that they jump through that hoop to work with you could make you a pretty sucky person to work with, if that's the attitude you take towards all of your employee interactions.

Even if you sincerely care about your waiters and waitresses and want to encourage their acting careers on the side, it still stretches a bit into the unprofessional, no? You're asking them to imaginatively mix their contexts around in ways that they might not be intending to do when they work for you. The fact that you've asked me to simultaneously be frank with you about my external life, and that you also expect me to censor things which might be deemed 'irrelevant' like "well, I need a software company that I can leave after six months because I want to go and build schools in India once I get enough money," or to confess them even though they might make it much less likely for you to hire me, is potentially a needless hoop.
In windows, it's easy. Press alt+<space> and then 'm' and then arrow keys till the window is in frame and finally 'enter' when you are done.

Even easier is to use Win+<arrow keys> to get window to a particular boundary of the screen, but when you restore the frame, it will still be in the 'half out of screen' position.

As has been pointed out in the replies about 30 times already, PostPC doesn't mean the PC is dead, it only means that the PC market is mature and innovation slows way down as everyone focuses on newer more dynamic markets. The fact that people feel no need to upgrade their PCs anymore yet they are still rushing out to buy the new iPad is symptomatic of that. Surely I'll buy a new PC in the future to replace my old one, but I don't expect my sister or dad to do the same.

I once had a workmate in 1999 whose sentiment was similar to your post, just focusing on a different device. We got into an argument about whether the desktop PC market was over or not. He didn't really believe that laptops were really more than niche devices, they were too slow, displays were too small, that most people would use desktop PCs for decades to come. That you could never do more than surf the web on it, you couldn't hack serious code with it.

That tablets are for consumption only...really? Diagramming (e.g., OmniGraffle), vector graphic production, sketching, mixing and producing music, editing images, updating a spreadsheet...why not? Many are using tablets for production already. Every year someone says iPad can't do X, the next year someone releases something that does X and it actually doesn't suck.

I often use my iPad 2 in bed (~1 foot distance), the screen is really close and I can see the pixels. The new iPad is absolutely frigging amazing, I'll never look at my crappy DELL/HP monitors at work in a positive way again (yes, I can see the pixels!). Why have we been stuck at the same crappy 1920x1200 pixel resolution for at least 5 years now? Could it be that no one care about innovating in the PC market because they can't make any money? That a 10" iPad has a higher resolution than my 24" PC monitor is totally Post PC.
I really miss Linux's Alt-drag to move a window, which would fix this problem. I also wish MacOS and Windows actually let you move a window's titlebar offscreen.
Personally, I don't think that twitter is the best measure. Given the amount of noise and the whole follow back culture, you might just end up getting the 1/10 person who ends up following everyone.

I think if you are going to use twitter, have something interesting to say about the area where your startup is based in - that will attract initial early adopters and those who are passionate about the space.

Also, I do feel if you have some JS, CSS knowledge, go out and actually build a landing page - see if people actually sign up to what the product will be (or could be) - that's a much better way to gain traction and email addresses for those who could end up being your early adopters.
How many of you are there? If you can, have a company holiday. Everyone disconnect for a week (separately, of course). It may be primarily for you, but this serves to eliminate any anxiety that may occur due to being away. For example, you might feel out of control if your partners are working while you're not. Especially if you are already feeling a little resentful, it's pretty easy to begin to misinterpret benign things as subversion.
Avoiding Duplicate Content on Websites and Blogs
Most of the times, ones site or blog gets penalized for duplicate content for no fault of theirs.
Take a complete change of scene for at least two weeks. Go away and spend the time doing something that takes up your attention (rock climbing, skiing, visiting old friends, whatever). This should make you feel human again. Then you can hopefully at least see things in perspective.
Bloomberg, a pro business publication, writes an article defending the cheapest place business can get its products made.
Is that any sort of surprise? Lets face it, it must be annoying for businesses who want to make competitive products at the cheapest place to get that done, that Foxconn is derided as some sort of slave labour camp. So is it any surprise that we now get a "campaign" to reposition Foxconn to make it more acceptable to use?

Now, fair enough that Bloomberg champions the needs of big business, and fair enough that big business wants and need to use these places to build their products. But that does not mean that there is no agenda here. There might not be, but there is certainly a sniff of re-branding going on here.

All Im saying is there is good grounds to be sceptical at the motivation here.
Could you get them to add a powertoy or something to add Linux's Alt-drag to move a window without needing to drag the titlebar? (Also to let me move a window offscreen if I want to?)

Actually, as long as I'm asking for features, can I get window shading?
Address problems now, while they're still relatively easy to tackle. Leaving them means they will build up and be harder to face.

Adjust your work life balance. This means doing things like (as have been mentioned) getting more exercise and getting better sleep. Both of these will not only help your mood, but they will make you more productive.

You need to talk to your team. Explain what's happening.

You have awareness and insight - you say "despite things going well I'm somewhat depressed" - that's good. Try some cognitive behaviour therapy techniques. A good book is "Mind over mood"; a good website is the Australian "mood gym". You could see a therapist.

Luckily this kind of stress / low mood responds excellently to interventions.
I'm reminded here of a piece I read here on HN just the other day - about jobs being obsolete, or something.

We're now living in a world where a lot of jobs are being automated away, and we don't need as many people in employment as we did, say, 30 years ago.

Having automated away menial and administrative tasks, smart companies are now spending some of their vast profits on employees who are nice to have, rather than absolutely necessary for the running of the business. A few extra shop workers to save people waiting in line, a few extra people at the end of the phone.

I'd much rather live in that world, than the alternative, which is a few people having jobs and the rest in the dole queue.

Android Ice Cream Sandwich: why native code support sucks
Its interesting, no one told you to quit.

I'd check on sleep deprivation first. Take a week off, sleep 10 hours every night, exercise every day lightly (long walks listening to music are good), read a book. If you do all this and you still think you're at the end of your rope then you need to talk with your cofounder.

You also said it isn't affecting your work yet, but people are smart and social signals are sent without even realizing it. Its impacting your work already, in little ways, and will only get worse. Deal with this now, don't wait.

No, he has 1 year from public disclosure to file for a patent (in the US, as of 2006 when I took my IP law class [IANAL, btw]). You could not file for a patent because his public disclosure would count as prior art for you, unless you could prove that you had the idea before his publication.
Oh, my bad. I misrecalled a detail from the featured article, thinking it had claimed that temperatures were very very low, so I picked the lowest temperature in that sidebar as a rough approximation. Actually, TFA says "near freezing", which certainly much closer to 4C than to -30C.

Silly me.

Two things I do differently:

The most important one is that everything is done within an $app context. This means that theoretically you could build two apps, and I later will be creating functionality to "mount" apps on paths, like in Flask Blueprints.

Second one is that I am going to be extending it (but keeping it lean) with other microframework-y goodness, patterns, ways to use PHP's native stuff in elegant ways, etc.

Essentially, klein is a router, but Ham will be a microframework, providing patterns for application development with it, extensions to work with other libraries, etc, ala Flask.

I'm definitely looking at Klein and seeing what I can learn from it, what can be done better, etc.

> This leads to further insecure practices, such as creating a paper-based list of user names and passwords that could be stolen.

"Never write down your password" should probably be considered harmful. The main attacks on my passwords are not people who have access to a bit of paper in my wallet, but large criminal gangs on another continent. So long as the paper is treated as something valuable it's better to have good passwords written down than bad passwords that I can easily remember. Also, muscle memory helps, and it only takes a week or so to remember a good password, at which point you can destroy the paper.

People in some industries will not be able to write passwords down - but they wouldn't be generating this kind of pronounceable password anyway.

The answer is, again, look at diceware to generate strong phrase which you then use with your reputable password safe.
I wonder how many others caught Wall quoting Lewis Carrol....

Honestly, for the last 6 years I have been doing mostly Perl programming (and managing an open source project largely written in Perl) and if I can't easily read a contribution easily I push back.... Perl doesn't have to be hard to read. I would say, however, that keeping things minimalistic is a real virtue in the language.

About ten years ago I met a Maylaysian girl in Australia who had worked for 2 dollars a day at a sweat shop when she was younger. I asked her how it was, and she said it was fine, accomodation and food were paid for and 2 dollars was pretty okay in Malaysia. Just saying.
