This matters. The whole reason things like Google and Yelp search work for users is because their natural results are uncorrupted by commercial incentives. Advertisers can pay to have their sponsored listings displayed above the natural listings, but there's a clear, transparent distinction between the two.

It's murky to let any sponsored listings intertwine undifferentiated with natural listings. It's an inherently advertiser-first, user-second policy, and it's at the expense of the integrity of the natural service.

It's tough to argue that this is more for any benefit then their bottom line, which, given Zuck's grand "Hacker Ethics" letter, kind of wreaks of bullshit.

Not much more than you are otherwise loosing by using the oil instead of burning it. The hard part is getting carbon - not a lot of CO2 in the air.

> I'm going to pre-emptively reply "Exponential growth".

But we are not having exponential population growth right now. And even if we were, the universe is big REALLY big, stupendously unimaginably big. Even just the Earth is enormous, and we are nowhere close to filling it up.

I think Joshua's rep broke even, or possibly slightly ahead. It shows that he's a passionate employee, and will go out of his way to make things right. In a work setting, he'll probably fix up that copy-pasta code instead of just leaving it there. Passionate employees always win over passive employees.

Additionally, his name is so damn generic, it might as well be john lee. There might be 10 serial killers with his name too, but I doubt future employers would really be able pinpoint this incident with his name.

This.

We just raised a seed round in both Seattle and the Valley, and the pricing difference here in Seattle is significant.

Whether SV pricing is fair, and there are steals to be had in Seattle, or Seattle pricing is sane, and the Valley is overheated I couldn't say. But, I will say that Seattle startup quality seems to be improving, and there's a very different startup-to-money ratio going on here.

I can understand the upside of this, with the better routine, health, everyone living in the same house etc.

However, I think the isolation is VERY dangerous. Yes, silicon valley is a bit of an echo chamber, but at the same time, you are around some of the smartest minds in the world. Our first few VC meetings resulted in a "pivot" of sorts. Still same end goal, but different way of going about it. Being around everyone in the travel tech industry, and being able to set up meetings with them, has changed our go-to-market strategy and our priorities.

These smart people have a way of poking holes in your strategy. There is something to be said for talking to "normal" people, but I can say we have talked to hundreds of normal people, and the most valuable advice we got was from those VCs and angels, or travel tech people.

We possibly would have wasted months if we didn't seek out these experts and learn from their success and failure.

By moving to Hawaii you risk losing that.

The Adioso guys kind of mentioned this, that living in Melbourne they weren't around the same type of environment and PG brought them back to earth when they got back here. The ruthlessness of silicon valley has it's upside.

It would be nice if there was some acknowledgement of previous work in this area like the median cut algorithm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_cut
the neuquant algorithm

or the dozens of other image to palette services a google search away (including one that google uses itself for image search)

So, maybe an explanation of why this is better than those, different from those, a comparison of sorts. Or would it be better if some third party did this "benchmarking" work eh?

specifically, I am concerned that this approach is based on tiny micro-heuristics based on specific images and not a robust statistical model of human perception.

Not necessarily defending this guy (who I know nothing about) or anything, but I really hate it when somebody's paraphrase is put in quotation marks as if it's a direct quote.

"HBO co-president Eric Kessler has said he thinks the move away from traditional television to an internet-based model is just a fad that will pass – a 'temporary phenomenon' tied to the down economy. "

The only actual quote here is 'temporary phenomenon', which could have all kinds of contexts.

Honolulu is a big city which has a constant flow of Silicon Valley folks so not as isolating as where you were.
I don't think we are claiming any sort of success here. Getting written up is nice. Is it a successful company? No. Is it a successful "business" no, but then again many companies here in the valley don't seem to be too worried about making money. Was it a good way to spend a weekend? definitely.
The third rule sucks, in my opinion. Referral bonuses are a good deal for the company: they help the company to (1) recruit good employees and (2) save money on recruiting, since these bonuses are usually much less than the hefty fraction of an employee's salary that they'd have to pay to a headhunter. If you leave a company after referring somebody, it doesn't change the fact that you found the company a good employee and saved them money, so it would seem unfair to refuse to pay you the bonus, even if you're no longer an employee -- in that case, they'd be able to profit from your connections without giving you anything in return.

They wouldn't be able to get away with not paying a headhunter just because he sent his invoice in after the company decided to not renew their contract with him. The fact that they can legally get away with stiffing an ex-employee doesn't make it any more ethical.

There is a huge problem with this attitude: it doesn't leave room for someone to honestly realize they were wrong and be believed when they express they learned something. If someone thinks you're not going to believe him anyway, you remove part of the incentive for someone to learn.

First off, and I'm not going to just pick on DB since most of these high-price training operations do the same thing, but this makes it seem like they went down to market street and picked 20 homeless guys then got them jobs at 80k/year in 10 weeks.

No, they had 400 applicants, chose the 20 (5%) that could most likely succeed, and then 17 of those got jobs.
This is great, but they should stop making it seem like they're training total newbies with no ability in 10 weeks. They're training people who could probably succeed despite any of the training methods. For example, there's a commenter in this thread who has a mechanical engineering degree. Chances are anyone with a mechanical engineering degree with the money could pass nearly any kind of course.
If you're looking for secure payments, you can always direct customers to a .secure payments handler, in much the same way that Paypal does already. The whole domain wouldn't have to operate under a .secure domain, in fact that would be undesirable as it would diminish the importance of it customer's eyes if every major website is on a .secure domain.

OK, you are probably right. It's been a while. I played in broadcast some time ago.

It's not ambiguous, it's fact-specific, and a court in such a situation would look to questions of fairness and reasonableness under the circumstances. Absent an extended delay that caused meaningful harm to the company, the employee would almost certainly get his reimbursement.
I agree. I am an MBA type, and I think Facebook is backing into a valuation that is too high. They are doing stupid things to reach the $5B revenue and $1.5 in profits this year to justify a $100B valuation.

Facebook may never be more than a $25B company, and that is still fantastic, but I hope they don't throw it all away by trying to be the next Google.

Why do people even trust ads? Why would I pick a certain brand just because I see it over and over? Wouldnt someone intelligent just do 5 minutes of googling to find out which one is the best?

How are these little startups dealing with the FCC regulation of consumer products that are classified "intentional radiators"? I'd really like to get back into this so this is a question I really would like to find an answer to.

The last time I looked into adding wireless to a device we were building, I was advised that any little nit that burps a frequency above 9Khz intentionally should expect an 8 week $30,000 trip through independent testing and regulation purgatory to get an FCC ID # and permission to sell to the general public. Not doing so and selling anyway was serious federal crime territory.

Granted this was years ago, but nowadays it seems that every other technical kickstarter is a whole bag full of different (which would be different models) "ninja boxes"(1) that tweet wireless data. How are they clearing (or sidestepping) this regulatory hurdle?

They don't have any identification or billing information. That's why they can't sell to customers directly.

(Shrug) All they have to do is ask. It's as if they don't want to be able to sell directly to their viewers.

Other publishing industries are frantic at the thought of middlemen like Apple and Amazon owning subscriber relationships. Yet HBO and Showtime seem to actively prefer it that way. I don't get it... don't they understand the risks of putting all of their eggs in the cable provider's basket?
God... I really miss the Internet before it became "social".
Sorry, wouldn't pay a dime. This is a little akin to buying 1000 twitter followers. Sure they'll give you apparent social proof, but you'll have a hard time selling to them. What you are really asking is how much is an unqualified lead worth. You can buy random traffic all day, but if none of them purchase/upgrade its worthless to you.

You have to ask yourself if you really think that you can convert any of these users. There is a world of difference between targeted and untargeted traffic. You probably wouldn't even get any usable metrics out of the deal.

You are also talking about an investment of 2 bucks per user, and you could almost do better with a basic cpc campaign. You'd end up spending a bit more, but you be much more targeted.
How about you sign up someone for your own job?

I'm not sure whether this should be rewarded or not, but it seems a situation that he's alluding to in that rule.
I've actually found that I've been penalized more for 'over-dressing' than for underdressing over here. I worked a small marketing job for a while a couple years back, and I picked up on wearing suits as an effective way to 'hack' most people into giving you more credibility than you would otherwise initially get (which works great with the whole 'fake-it-til-you-make-it' program an introvert like me needed). So I experimented with this idea and wore a suit pretty much everywhere for about a year (not like traditional white-collar + boring tie suits mind you, think more 'Jonny Cash with a flashy tie'), and while most normal people were receptive to this style (as I expected), I noticed that a fair share of programmers/techies were generally put off/uncomfortable with it. I found it a bit ironic, since I felt I was just doing the same anti-status-quo thing programmers initially did by owning the 'underdressed' style; but I guess it's just too soon for techies to be comfortable with that kind of 180.
The world has slowly become spineless, and when someone like Josh Hwu shows a spine and stands up for what's right a rather large fraction of fellow programmers jump on him. Shameful! The CEO of Miso is an unethical egotistical person who doesn't even have the self-awareness to admit to his knee-jerk abuse of power (a mistake that many a young manager has made, myself included).

The real story here is that fighting on principle is the rational thing to do. If you don't fight on principle then the predators feel empowered, and everyone suffers. People like Josh are heroes. Those who try to take away from his accomplishment by either convincing him that it would be "smarter" to be spineless or that somehow it's wrong to have a spine, are even more despicable than Josh's abusive ex-boss.

I'm not sure where the 400 number is coming from. It's actually closer to 200 ("Of the approximately 200 applications that Dev Bootcamp received for its first session, 20 were chosen to participate in the program").

This cohort was also 8 weeks.

But yes, you're right. These are highly dedicated people. Many came straight out of college, one (myself) came straight out of high school. But I wouldn't go and assume that all 20 of us were mechanical engineering grads. All just highly motivated people.
Someone should make a website with famous declarations by high-ups in various industries. It'd be a neat historical reference.

For example: "There is no reason for any individual to have a computer at home" (Ken Olsen, Digital Equipment Corporation).
My bad. I didn't know IE has fixed most of the warts.
I remember back in high school, I think like 1998 or so, my friend told me, "You should really learn Javascript really well. It's going to be really big and around for a really long time." I laughed at him.

Funny thing is that ended up going into embedded hardware; he almost never touches Javascript, except for some personal stuff. I still find it mindboggling how right he was, but part of me still feels like he was just shooting in the dark.
You have the international version (like I do in Australia). The new design doesn't seem to have an advanced link anywhere (you can try it by going to preferences, and choosing 'Change country/region'.
Fucking with employee options pool is about whether previous investors (including founders and earlier employees) take all the dilution of new hires, vs. the new investors sharing equally in that. It's fairly independent of how much equity hires actually receive (you can always bump the pool up later, when you "unexpectedly" run out of equity and need to make more hires -- after 30-50 hires, the only way an individual hire makes a huge difference in the option pool is if you're bringing in a CEO to replace a founder, or maybe a Sheryl-level COO or super-accomplished VP.)

It's an unrelated issue, really. I think "founder has one type of expense policy for founders and execs, and another for employees" would be more apt.
I just moved down here last week and am excited to check it out.
This benefit scheme appears to be designed to encourage team building. The cost of replacing a good employee is greater then the benefit gained from introducing a new hire. I guess they don't want to reward someone for team building when they are actually a net loss in this area. I think they should have read this[1] and thought about this a bit more.

The popularity of Facebook continues to puzzle me. Because its "all following relationships must be mutual" paradigm is SO BROKEN. People end up following a zillion people they don't give a damn about because that's what you have to do if you want to broadcast there.

I really wish Google hadn't driven off half their early adopters of G+ with their shitfit about "real names only" because it actually has asymmetrical following relationships. When anyone can see your public posts, you only have to follow people you care about instead, and the service doesn't have to do these increasingly convoluted hacks to try and only show you things it thinks you "want" to see.

If you're making some kind of social network, please save your future self - and your future users - this kind of hassle. Allow asymmetrical following.

tl;dr: I miss Livejournal.
The "after you gave notice" part in particular is quite stupid. It will simply encourage people to wait longer to give notice, or not give notice at all.

Were I leaving a company amicably and had no other constraint on my time (say I'm planning to start my own company, or even just take a couple years off), I'd give several weeks, if not a few months' notice, to maximize flexibility for everyone. If I knew it was going to screw me out of $10,000, however, I definitely would not extend that courtesy.
