While raw communication can be hard to hear, I've found it lets me grow the most and it is far superior to no communication.

There is nothing quite as motivational as deciding that you're going to prove naysayers wrong. If they say that what you did sucks, you work really hard to make them liars. Anger is good for this. Hearing nothing but praise just keeps you from trying to do better, and sugar-coated problems never seem severe enough to invest time in.

It's also a clue (albeit one lacking social graces) when people speak strongly about something: the topic is important to them. Don't allow bad language to keep you from parsing a good point out of an argument; you might not hear that same argument from anyone else.

"Would not buy the latest version/license" is .. misleading.

I don't want to offend you and cannot judge the motivations of your employer at that time, but .. You don't need a license to develop C#. Even if you _need_ VisualStudio (which you don't..), there's a free version available. Otherwise SharpDevelop/MonoDevelop (yes, the latter is available and applicable for Windows as well!) would've done the job. I'd probably have prefered to drop to a notepad/vim based setup before touching 2005 and looking at .Net 1.1/2.0 stuff again.
I hate to break it to you, but most of the legal documents you pay for are already standardized. They have been for years (or decades, depending on the area of law). You're paying for the customizations that are specific to your situation.

Obviously, standardized language has done nothing to reduce costs. The problem is supply-side: despite the glut of (new) lawyers, there are still not enough lawyers that people are willing to trust with their business.

That poster looks like it's advertising a cheesy sci-fi movie.

It creeps me out.
I raised my first round without knowing any VCs, and it took a long time while talking to dozens of VCs. I will give some perspective of someone who made it through the gauntlet:

First, it requires considerable persistence (and obnoxiousness) to get meetings with dozens of VCs if you do not know them. I did not have that level of obnoxiousness, I worked with someone that did. This is a significant barrier.

Second, if you actually have a hardcore technology startup, you are essentially screwed. Only a few VCs will consider investing in significantly new technology. Despite what they say, there are only a minority of VCs worth talking to that will invest in fundamentally new technology despite the marketing. On the other hand, those VCs that do are quality VCs in most regards.

Third, if you lack the connections then bootstrapping is a very good option if at all possible. The further along you are, the greater the options available. Even if it seems more difficult in the short-term, it is usually less difficult in the long-term.

As a broader observation, from what little I've seen most startup pitches fail because they are horrible, both at the pitch level and idea level. My pitch was horrible but my mastery of a compelling idea enabled me to find VC funding.
I'd say that, if they let a political figure that according to Wikipedia is both domestically and internationally criticized, this testifies that they actually believe in freedom of speech.

There are three essential things that are important in running a startup: Focus, Focus and Focus. ;-)

At a startup, the entrepreneurs could do build a million different things and I found it sometimes hard to curtail both my ideas and those of the other founders. For instance, in one of the months we toyed with 20 different technologies as each day some developer would come and say "why not we use platform Y & API from X to do Z?" then everybody would just start chasing all the APIs and build a simple prototype (that will get forgotten after the next day's idea). That is an extreme case, but you get the point.

Once you have focus and determination, the rest usually falls into place.
Except, you know, that all proposed legislation is publicly posted to the Thomas system with 24 hours of submission (i.e., prior to voting), all legislative hearings and regulatory hearings are open to the public, and...get this...legislative debates and major agency events have been publicly televised for more than two decades on not one, but 3 separate channels!

The reality is that most of the people who complain about the lack of transparency are those who put the least effort into finding the available sources.

OK, I had another thought on this topic, another perspective as to whether this money was well spent.

When you win Kickstarter and get 20-30k as an indie dev, that money is yours. It's in the bank. You're expected to spend it to make sure the game is as good as it can possibly be, sure, but it's now your money to _risk_.

I balk at spending 6K on music, because to me that sound like taking 6k out of my family's bank account, going down to the casino and betting it all on black.

But in reality, that's what I do every day. I sit down at my computer and I bet 1 days salary I can earn it back selling my game directly to players.

My games only have a budget of around 100k each. Most of that my salary. Would 6k on music make 6k more over the life of the game? I don't know? Perhaps. Perhaps I should grow some balls and spend and extra 6K of my family's money on music for my next game as see what happens.

Those risks, those bets, are a lot easier to make when they are somebody else's money. When you have an investor willing to share risks, or a publisher who will own the game when it's done anyhow.
No, it is about a hypothetical project, while there are already lots of people actually building stuff (and yes they do know about github and VCS).

I think that's an excellent and important point. Certainly there is some sample bias going on: if you're qualified for college in the first place you are probably at a traditional college.

However, I think my original point remains relevant for two reasons:

First, the author of the article used rising aggregate debt as evidence that the traditional college system is broken beyond repair. But if a significant portion of that debt is being taken on by unqualified students attending for-profit colleges, then the growing debt could have absolutely nothing to do with traditional colleges (likely the reality is somewhere in the middle, but the author's "doom and gloom" outlook on traditional colleges seems a bit extreme to me).

Second, the author presented for-profit higher education as a replacement for traditional higher education. But the incentives faced by for-profit colleges seem every bit as broken as those he claimed are faced by traditional colleges.

If traditional college presidents have an incentive to grow their endowments and build grand edifices on the backs of their students, then for-profit college CEOs have an incentive to cut large dividend and bonus checks on the backs of their students. This just doesn't seem like an improvement to me.

I like that a lot. One thing I would say -- on a browser, it's not immediately clear that you can click on an article to expand it. I don't have an iPad, I've never used Flipboard, so I didn't know what to expect. I figured it out pretty fast, but it might be nice to somehow highlight the article that you're about to open on mouse hover (faint blurred light-yellow border, perhaps). Granted, this probably works a lot better on an iPad. But even in a browser it actually looks pretty good.
that's kind of the point. CORS just tells the browser to block the response, so this proxies the request and simply changes the headers to avoid that restriction.
If you get a competitive pay, try to hang on more and see if you can turn around the company. Tell the founders about your concerns and see if they will let you get added as a co-founder (so that you benefit when the company finally turns around).

However, if you get a lot lower pay than what you get in a bigco, you need to talk frank with your founders. More than the revenue and lack of funding, it is the Zero active users that concerns me. Momentum is the key in a startup and you guys seem to have lost it. When you are in a hole, stop digging.

I have a 4 year degree and I think it's hard to understate its value. I wish I'd spent that 4 years doing different things... I almost certainly would have learned more (and the things I learned would have been more useful). And it wouldn't have cost $120k.
So, I haven't seen anyone say anything to this effect, so I'm going to broach the subject.

Why is InfoQ so offensively awful and impossible to glean any actual information from? It's not good for anything. It's not good for reading text, for looking at slides, or for watching video.

InfoQ can only be aesthetically equated in my mind with a fanged and sharp-clawed harpy attacking my face with the viciousness of a thousand damned souls.

Every time I click on a link to a potentially interesting talk (I love architecture and databases!) and it turns out to be InfoQ a part of my soul dies and I yearn to collapse and weep bitter tears.

For the love of god, stop posting to/linking to/acknowledging-the-existence-of InfoQ.

If that's what it takes, I'll build a site to any specifications laid out in order to better solve this problem.

It would take time away from my startup, but I don't care anymore. I just want to wipe this infernal blight from existence.

Tell me HN, tell me why this website exists.

Edit: Just to add to a wider problem, I'm hard of hearing and generally cannot utilize video content very well. Something that automatically transcribed video content would be a blessing.
>1) Teaching something repetitively means the students will learn more the second time.

Further clarification of my ideal system--Once students demonstrate a mastery of algebra they can move on. For some students this may never happen, but there is really no point in moving to higher math if you can't master algebra.

>Basic algebra is all that's needed as a general background in math for all majors.

Take my major as an example (Math at Georgia State). Precalc and Calculus are required (you can clep out of either if you want). You don't really need high school calculus or trig even as a math major. You'll get the higher math in college, and my argument is that you'll be better prepared for said college math with a mastery of algebra than you will with a basic knowledge of calculus and trig and algebra.

> Everyone in high school is there to prep for college.

For the vast majority of people, if you're not going to college trig and calculus aren't necessary.
There are certainly people who have the self-motivation, drive to learn, and grade themselves accurately using self-teaching tools -- but I think you'll find those people are few and far between.

Also, most of the useful information I obtained in my degree was which resources are the best.

"How does that 30-50c look once its turned into sales"

Haha, my conversion ratio is not quite there yet, that's why I'm not yet retired.

Once my 50c click pays 55c in sales I'll roll every sale into more ads and be as big as Zynga in no time.

I'm not crazy far off though, last time I had a run at it I made about 85c to the dollar.
I agree with everything he wrote, except for the predicted outcome. With the housing crisis, there was a bubble that burst because the credit markets froze and suddenly nobody had access to capital. That is what caused home prices to collapse. It wasn't that people suddenly realized that homes weren't a good investment.

With college, most of the loans are guaranteed by the federal government. Some are issued by the federal government. If there is a bubble, the fallout will be with the American taxpayers and not the colleges. Politicians can't (and shouldn't) allow universities to go belly-up. Recently there has been a backlash against traditional colleges, and much of that criticism is well-deserved. But the reality is that the U.S. has the greatest higher education system in the world. It is probably our single greatest competitive advantage. Mark Cuban talks a good game, but where does he think scientific research and development takes place? I can assure you it isn't the University of Phoenix.

If student loan debt continues to accumulate at the pace it has been, then the power will shift from the government to the students. What happens if tens of thousands of college grads simply cannot pay their debts or choose not to? After all you can't pay back money you don't have, and it's not as if there are tangible assets for the government to take. It's like the saying goes- if you owe the bank $1,000, you've got a problem. If you owe the bank $1,000,000, they've got a problem. The government has to start limiting these loans and the problem will correct itself. People should never be enabled to buy things they can't afford. Much of the housing crisis was caused because the government wanted everybody to own a home, and now the student loan crisis is happening because the government wanted everyone to attend college. But not everybody can own a nice home, and not everybody can afford to attend a college with $40,000 tuition.
The cost of a college education is an overstatement of its value.

How many recent grads outside of engineering do you know? Now how many of them are gainfully employed?

Now how much did they pay for school and how much pay and experience did they miss out on by not working for the time they were in school?

I just went through the post graduate job cycle along with a huge batch of my peers and any of us will be the first to tell you that college is broke. The only reason I am employed is because of projects I put together myself, online, outside of the scope of a university education.

If you are looking to meet girls and learn how to drink to excess by all means college is a great place to do it. Otherwise college education in the liberal arts is a complete waste.

Daylight savings and time zone shenanigans are among the most pointless and frustrating intrusions of government fiat into software. Even if you mitigate the complications by converting internal representation to vanilla UTC and epoch time, you still have to deal with the fact that many clients are a complete mess when it comes to correctly communicating the intended time.

The cost of dealing with this greatly exceeds whatever marginal value is hypothetically being realized by adjusting the clock every several months. If there was a global standard for how this is handled it would be one thing but in practice the adjustment of clocks is arbitrary and somewhat random by country. It is a waste of resources.
Out of curiosity, what do those 3 founders really do? If they don't develop products or sell the products or get the funding they have no business to be sitting as founders. Many non-technical founders have the weird notion that ideas matter a lot. However, unless you develop & sell them - the ideas are worth zero. So, their contribution is effectively 0.
Isn't Google also notorious for being biased towards the "top" schools, caring about GPAs and turning away a ton of smart people? That's what I've heard, but I've no first-hand experience.

So many smart people apply to Google that they could (at least historically--maybe it's different now) get away with a hiring process optimized for false negatives over false positives. This is only fair, but also probably makes them a poor example as far as hiring practices go.

So yes: they can figure out if you're smart in 5-6 hours. But they can't do the converse reliably.
This is the number one problem with the Internet. It doesn't know when to say no, when to stop being "helpful". It only says yes, it only continues to provide.

In the early days this was a good thing, it encouraged growth and exploration, but now it leads otherwise well intentioned people down the road to ruin. It doesn't know when to stop. It doesn't know when to call in support. It's a bartender gleefully serving a bar full of alcoholics drunk out of their minds on whatever and thinking it's doing a great job.

It's a good thing that you get some push-back once in a while. It's a good thing to say "No" or at least ask for clarification.

In the age where people's first resort is often Google and their last stop is Wikipedia, any chance to inject a measure of level-headed guidance into the situation is always appreciated.

It cost me a little less than 4.5k a year in tuition and fees in 2007, now its up to around 9k. Additionally tuition used to max out at 12 hours now it maxes out at 15.

It's still a great value compared to a lot of schools, but if the prices keep going up at anything near that rate it won't be for long.

Also I don't think its 1/4 of a private school. Total cost of attendance is around 20k, total cost of attendance at Harvard is around 50K (room board, tuition and fees).
