That said, it used to be actual dailies, but updates have been very spotty the last 4 months or so. I'm not sure why. When it was updated ~daily, it would sometimes break so it's not for everyone. I run it as my main browser and I've had to downgrade once. Now that it's updated less frequently it's been more stable (obviously).

I would have added this info in my original comment, but I was posting from the phone. Adding it to your sources is as simple as:

One of our Seed Round investors decided to not participate pro-rata in the A Round because of our 4-day week.
It depends what you mean by "easier". The ideal scenario would be a fast process that filters for the highly skilled/in-demand.
It'd be interesting to start a company that wrote software in two different languages at the same time. Have a bunch of programmers that don't know PHP or Ruby develop the same features in both languages. It'd be interesting to see how easy or hard they found each language to be and why.
It looks great but I think I'll wait for an Android version.
What if it is? (I don't think it is, but let's assume for a moment). Does it matter? We will still advance as a species, regardless of the motivation of the original backers.

One of my favourite aspects of capitalism is that it can provide individuals with an incentive to achieve goals that benefit the species as a whole. Sure, the backers will get richer, and they will get loads of personal press out of it. But we will finally be expanding our resource gathering to the near solar system. That is worth feeding someone's ego IMO!
How to tune up your Facebook Profile for better News Feeds
Well, I stand corrected. I took a look at your hiring specs and they seemed pretty office oriented. Being on the other side of the country, it makes me somewhat skeptical when I see that kind of thing - years of 'ass in chair' performance metrics :)
We've had discussions on HN before about NASA and man vs robotic space exploration. It's really hard to convince people that NASA should not be going to Mars and not be going back to the moon with people at this time. The best way for NASA to spend its money is to build LOTS of robotic explorers/surveyors and learn as much about the solar system as possible. When we find something of value then it'll be time to send humans, which should take more than 15-25 years once we survey the solar system. At that point we'll have a VC bubble with people trying to extract whatever resources we find.
User and System files are separate in Unix.

Great comment - thanks.

The only area we're currently battling the non-4-day-week is with our Support Team. They're currently working 4-day weeks plus about 3 hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

We're hoping to scale that part of the Team so they can get on the 4-day week as well.

I hear you on games of skill vs board games.

I agree with you that these games were designed in a different era, but that we shouldn't continue to play them out of tradition. We should retire the ones that don't hold up and make room for new games.
If the author knew that it's not the first animated graphic novel he would have perhaps also realize it's rather a bad idea.
Photo-comics, animated comics, interactive comics, CGI comics, comics with sounds - all that has been tried already.
All these "enhancements" are just gimmicks that don't expand the medium - on the contrary, they narrow it down to a crippled version of something else.

There's a deep secret of HR most of us programmers don't know of or understand - CVs are often printed on paper and transfered to other desks by hand. While it'd be exciting for a nerd to receive, in a traditional HR dept such a 'nano-cv' or what you call it will quickly become a piece of garbage just as it hits the printer.

I feel you there. For the best part of the last five years I've been commuting 3-4 hours on top of a typical 8 hour working day.

I guess it depends on your situation. I was fortunate enough to spend most of that on the train and typically able to get a seat so usually able to code, and always at the very least read, so I managed to make use of this time.

Other than that, I've put plenty of weekends into my projects too.

As Steve said, if you're passionate enough about it you'll find a way.
Jet is 1980's technology and it's already produced 16 megawatts from 200 cubic meters in 1997. http://www.ccfe.ac.uk/JET.aspx Compared to "the center of the sun, fusion power is estimated by model to be about 276.5 watts/m3" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_core

Which works out to 290x the energy density of the core. Direct comparisons of the Continent vessel vs the volume of the sun are even higher.

Compare Insurance Quotes Online for Resolving Insurance Worries
Some say we were born to be free while some believe it is a corporate hoax; however, whatever the take of the critics might be, fact stays the same that the need to have a valid insurance cover is simply unavoidable. Especially, if you are one of the '99%', the only way for you to ensure a trouble-free life is to get everything you have covered under insurance.
Because not everyone has a Ruby development environment available. It would be a lot better idea to stick with Makefiles or other more commonly available Unix tools.

A lot of Ruby people seem to add a Rakefile or a Ruby script to do some simple task like installing a few dotfiles. That makes them a lot less useful to me (for example), as I don't have a Ruby env available on all machines I use.

Same goes for Node.js, Python and Perl people. If a "standard unix" tool can do something almost as easily as a Rakefile/whatever, you should probably stick to the standard tools. I don't know what you should do with Windows, though.
IPhone App Developer - Customizing Professional and Creative Applications
What is the unique fingerprint made of? If I upgrade my windows software (for example), will I still be able to read the email (which is an image!)

And if I buy a new computer, then import my backed up emails, will I still be able to read it?
To be fair, if you are applying to a HR contact, then traditional is the way to go. I'd only ever recommend the use of 'nano' CV's if you can directly contact the person who makes the final decision.
If you read the site, they convert it to an image. Usability for this sucks, no searching, no copying.
They actually said in the article that they were NOT fired. Horrible title choice.

While I understand the motivation for this, I think it's actually a bad thing. Why? As you said, it's not perfect (and can't ever be), but when you create a service like this, people tend to use it in the way they see fit. If this got big, you'd have people actually using it to send emails that they think wouldn't be forwardable, when a simple copy and paste (at most) will defeat it.

It's a neat project, but it's snake oil that people will buy into. That's bad.

The first startup I worked for was cash poor and I agreed to lower wages in return for a 4 day week. Bear in mind that this was in Ireland in the late 1990's and there was never any mention of shares etc. There was however a very competitive market for anyone who could turn on a computer.

At the time three other companies wanted me to work for them doing web design & development. And each of them had the 60hr a week, no overtime attitude that they were emulating from American companies. However they were not emulating the benefits of these American companies, at no point was a shareholding or options mentioned.

The money was good but I don't think i would have had the time to spend it.

So the smallest company offered me less money but agreed to four days a week. And I agreed. The 2 years I spent represents one of the most productive periods in my working life.

It also gave me time to develop my own ideas on the side while gaining great start-up experience.

Since then I've worked for other companies and myself sometimes pulling 80-100 hours a week. And after a couple of prolonged periods of this I Burned out.

Twice in the past decade.

No amount of cash, shares or experience was worth being burned out.

Now-a-days I do about 4-4.5 days a week, on a contract basis and once again I'm more productive and creative than I have been in 15 years.
what kind of illness?
Nice post. Proactive work. Thinking outside the box. Getting things done. Very encouraging. Sounds like a place where I would want to work.

Just one major nit...

(This is directed not only to OP, but to everyone in our industry.)

Raising funding != success.

As inspiring as this post was, it would have been so much better with a title like:

"We work a 4-day week and just satisfied 10,000 new customers."

or

"We work a 4-day week and just realized $10m new profit."

Great work, guys. But please don't allow this "success" to let you take your focus away from the real metrics. I assume you already know this, but every once in a while, it still nice to say that which should go without saying.
How about I just plop one of my robots onto the table? Is that "hacker" enough for the hacker club? :P
"vassal state" Ha, been some time since I heard that phrase, thanks for that!

Though I certainly agree with you, people don't seem to notice any other hosting repositories.
So, basically, don't let your kids play on your iPad for three hours straight. Sounds like common sense to me.
"I get to spend 20% more time with my kids then almost all other dads. TWENTY percent. It’s insane. For those on the Team without kids, they get to spend this extra 20% on their hobbies or loved ones."

The reason the author SHOUTS the TWENTY percent is that it's actually 50%! (3 days off versus two). The only thing that's 20% is the number of your old days that you now don't work. (You also used to work 25% more days than now).
Well yeah, it makes sense when you work it out; every fact makes sense once you work it out. And there's a certain pleasing symmetry in that control over information, and the business model of attaching advertising to that information, has made the Google execs rich enough to invest in mining asteroids. I was just reflecting on how big a change it was.
That can get people hooked initially.

The tricky part is to get people coming back. That involves increasing the difficulty (but not too much), so the user feels a sense of accomplishment.

Throw in elements of randomness and, voila, you have an addictive game.

There are studies that go into more depth than this, but that's the basic outline.
Getting to profitability isn't as noteworthy (from a startup POV) as raising an A-round from working 4 days a week.
The Invasion of Clones
"You can't fake passion"

Honestly though, this gives a decent three step template for how to get yourself on the top of the pile in about ~1-5h worth of work:

1. Register a GitHub account, fork some projects that look cool

2. Register a domain, set up a yourname.github.com page for hosting, and add your contact info and link to github, whatever. Set up a mail redirector.

3. Upload your own project. If you don't have one, probably a good idea is to replicate some basic utility. How about pretty printing JSON using python from the command line?

Bam! Passion, done. For extra credit, create a blog and write two-three posts on why Java is verbose, something on getting started with node.js on your machine and a benchmark of your json utility and another one.

In all sincerity, when I look at candidates I also look hard for passion, and a blog, github, stackoverflow, etc puts them at the top of the pile.

As a counter anecdote, I've worked with tons of really, really good developers who went home at five, and came in at nine, and brought it every day. For most of them, life happened and with two kids it's harder to be prolific or show resume-friendly passion.

On the other hand, I doubt any of them will ever need to send in a resume anyway.
Full web stack - No browser required
I always heard of a perfect transaction as one where both parties felt slightly ripped off, but wouldn't reverse the transaction. People are bad at empathy.
Personally I would hate to receive email like this, if I viewed the email on my phone I won't be able to view it on my work computer. If I'm working from home the next day I won't be able to view the message (ever again!). If I want to view the email in several months time I'm assuming it's highly unlikely I'll be able to.

Maybe there's a market for this, and if so good for you, but my honest feeling is that any desire for such a 'protection' is better solved by either talking to the person on the phone or in person, or getting them to sign an NDA, or if the recipient is so untrustworthy then don't engage with them.
I'd accept it if it had only false negatives in "different person" detection. False positives are not really acceptable with this method now that we've got people using webmail/clients/mobiles.

For example, my client at work is on all the time - it will happily pre-cache all the images. But the same message will be visible on my mobile too - what happens when I open it there? If I got an error, I'd probably check with website for accessing the same mailbox - what would happen after 2 "forwards" - image deleted?

This is a reality of today's offices, not an edge case I'm afraid. It will also fail for shared email accounts (for example "info" or "support" type destinations). Or auto-forward while someone is on long vacation will do exactly the wrong thing - let someone else read it, but not the real recipient.
The first bullet point on my list of our achievements was "Achieved profitability".

I fully agree with you.
Let's be honest: that only can work for small startups ran by young technical people or very small software houses where the 3-5 employees are in one room next to each other. In any company where there's even a slight hint of a corporate structure, you have to provide just what they are asking for or you'll be that dude who sent us a cv with no cv on it.

//edit: Actually, now I remember I was that guy many years ago. I was applying for a programmer at the tech dept of a publisher. Sent a very short cv with some basic data and a link to portfolio. The head of IT (actually a clueless older dude on sweatshop wage) came with a print, took a look at it very disappointed and said "that's the shortest cv I've received". And there wasn't even a laptop around to check my portfolio while speaking. From what I saw there I didn't want to work for them anyway, but it still proves my point.
If you put it that way, someone will create a Github repo of nothing but fizzbuzzes in random languages like Erlang, Whitespace, Prolog, CoffeeScript, Intercal, Malboge, Perl, 0x10^c assembly, ...
Yes, that particular part made me doubt the Author's credibility.
Forgot to mention. We just hit 10,000 paying customers as well. Yay!
Given that it's a jquery plugin, you'd probably get a "script on this page is running slowly" message.
"I will instantly disregard any CV that doesn't have reference to a GitHub account"

Well bravo you. The problem with recruitment in our industry is not the candidates with no GitHub account, its the egomaniacal interviewers who waste no opportunity to turn any interview, in this case any application, into a passive-aggressive pissing contest.

Perhaps its acceptable for an interview to be adversarial, but I don't think any other industry matches the tech industry for the utter hostility of the interview process.
If you're going to bombard something for military purposes, the most effective technique involves using a very large number of nuclear weapons, which is well within the capabilities of anyone who would try to bombard the earth from space.

Back during the Space Race, the idea that the Russians could put something into orbit wasn't just a wound to the national pride, it was a technical demonstration of the fact that they could build ICBM's. If you have the rocket power necessary to lift something into orbit, you have the rocket power necessary to put a warhead on a ballistic trajectory to any point on the earth's surface. So if you can go into space and redirect asteroids, you can obviously launch an ICBM. And at this juncture, it's probably easier to develop the technology for nuclear weapons than the technology to capture asteroids and bombard the earth with them. The only way you could do more damage more cost-effectively with asteroids is if you had an extinction-level asteroid, but there's obviously no strategic value to that.

Bear in mind, I'm only talking about how scary it is, which isn't quite the same as discussing how militarily effective it is. By which I mean--obviously orbital bombardment can be worthwhile, but it would cause no more damage than nuclear weapons, and any magnitude of orbital bombardment that wouldn't trigger a MAD reaction would have to cause strictly less damage.
Thanks for pointing that out. Updating now ...
Which in itself is sad. Profitability, providing employment, and creating a better quality of life for all those involved.

Funding is great, but the above sounds like a better measure of success to me.
Great! So, your support team works any three hours on Fri-Sun?

I'm too wondering if we should hire people in US to handle support (to cover those timzeones), but I'm afraid if they will get the company culture, and feel part of the team. Your thoughts on having a remote team?
Nothing can stop someone simply saving the image and sending it as regular email. If it can be read, it can be copied. No point pretending otherwise.

[Edit: fix stray question mark.]
I disagree. The problem you mention is certainly a problem but it's by no means the problem.

My disregard of people who don't commit to their own projects is entirely a personal choice and I didn't intend on that point to be a direction.
As someone who works for something of a major player in this particular market:

:(

Although I'm still confident in my employer over this product; my employer's product is a web app accessible from anywhere (yes, including your shiny new iPad) rather than an iOS-only app. That plus the fact that we go to almost ridiculous lengths with our datasource partners on behalf of our clients means I think we'll be settled for a while.

And yes, we're CCHIT and MU-certified -- and were among the first companies to receive such credentials. :)

Most email readers block images by default

Disabled persons who rely on screen readers and other assistance technologies just got screwed, thanks.

Answering by quoting your email just got really hard.

Some email services download images for you and don't link to your server.

I've read your email at the office, now I can't read it at home, or on my iPhone, or vice versa.

Your email picture service is down or has server trouble, no recipient can read such mails anymore.

Cryptographic email signing becomes meaningless as the recipient can't parse the signature and message body to verify the hash.

A lot of spam filters might screen out emails that are nothing but an image.

Searching trough email by text will never find those emails because they contain no text.

Devices with small screen sizes (iPhone and the like) can't re-layout the text (as in word wrap), making such image emails really painful to read.
Fracuum Brilliant Game Concept made for Ludum Dare #23 in 48hours
Well, not quite. I read a recent post that said that
people over 35 should find other things to do with their
life. Mark Zuckerberg is quoted as saying that young people
are just better. Japanese companies won't hire programmers
over 35. The programming business has somehow become the
new "fashion" industry. Everybody wants "ninja rock stars"
(somewhat a contradiction in terms I think).

As someone who is a programmer for 41 years, leads multiple
open source projects, posts to github on a daily basis,
and writes code every day I find this trend disturbing.
I have interviewed for a job where I helped implement the
compiler they use and I'm "not qualified for the job".

People ask me why I'm not in management. I've turned down
several "promotions" in companies because I live to program.
Why would I move from the top of my skill set to the
bottom of a career I know nothing about?

So your advice is interesting but seems to have a target
audience of recent graduates, not seasoned professionals.
Look over your hiring record. I'm willing to bet that you
have not hired anyone over 40, regardless of their github
status.
