Business lives in a community of people , a State. We, as the People, can decide the rules.

Economy has no rules outside the square we create. So, there's no such thing as Economy per se.

You have to remember that the reason a group of people doesn't go out and take what they want is that there is a State, there are laws, there is a monopoly of legitimate force (the police): all of this can survive only if there is a contract between state and the people. All the people, not just the rich or who has a job or <put a category here>

As an American citizen living in Turkey, I agree that this effort is a bit cart-before-the-horse. That said, I think that Turkey is in an interesting place right now. Maybe the way they are introducing technology into the classroom is wrong, but at least they are interested in using technology in the classroom. Meanwhile, the US is arguing over the best way to use statistics to decide which teachers to fire.

It seems that this same story is playing itself out in a number of areas. Turkey "gets it" in terms of science and technology investments, it just doesn't seem to know the best way to go about making those investments. Personally, I prefer this situation to the alternative: knowing exactly how and what to do, but not even bothering to keep a manned spaceflight capability or high-energy particle physics research facility funded.

As for what Turkey can do to get on the right track, I think the first thing that needs to happen is the expansion of homegrown technologies. It seems every user group or startup weekend type event I've seen advertised is almost exclusively sponsored and/or run by Microsoft. Turkey would do well to look at a country like Brazil that, while it suffered being behind the times for a while, is now a strong player in the technology sector because it focused on homegrown tech.

I'm undecided on that one. The theory of course is that it makes it possible for a family which can't quite make the up-front cost for a home to still buy a home, which consequently helps keep rents reasonable, which helps poorer classes get by.

But there are also the unintended consequences: people buy things they can't actually afford, like you said, and people begin to qualify for buying homes as investment vehicles, which really screws with things.

So I'm not smart enough to figure that one out.
Hm, I've just started to think, also for my personal use, that maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to try scripting some automatic 'Hello, how can I help you?' response to /^[^\w](hi|hello)[^\w]($MY_NAME)?[^\w]*$/i :)
Surely the only sensible cost of the data is the lost business (assuming they would be using all the storage for other purposes). No one can access the data, so power consumption - the main cost of big data centres - should be zero.

From an accounting background instead of a VC or entrepreneur background, it's probably worth emphasizing that and focusing the content that way.

There is a lot of "how to do accounting at startups" content which is lacking on the Internet -- maybe something as basic as "how to spend your own money pre-raising funding so you can get reimbursed", and then the basics of accounting for a team of 2-5 with minimal (<500k) seed investment and early revenue.

Just teaching people the difference between cashflow and P&L would be a worthwhile lesson.

If I were you, I'd probably develop a sizable (20-30+) number of standalone free 1-5 page resources on various topics, then offer a service instead of a product (15 minute consultations, phone/skype).

I am not sure how different the accounting rules are in the US vs. Australia vs. elsewhere -- aside from tax, for early stage companies, they're probably fairly universal. I do think helping people set up something like Xero would be useful, since Quickbooks is rather mediocre, and NetSuite is overkill (and the single-entry systems like Freshbooks aren't really worth considering).

In general, sell expertise, give away anything else.
Travis-CIs Audio for Snippet+RT ~ #wycatz #tenderlove #jon #jose
HP has been cutting their workforce for a long time, at least since the Hurd days. Back then I suspect cuts were made based just on the numbers. Some people were expensive and I saw a lot of very capable people get let go. Eventually it became hard to find capable people and now, many years later, I suspect continued cuts wont matter. The good engineers that would have made their next generation of products were disposed of and wont go back. The good engineers of the future aren't being drawn to careers at HP. And the current management is getting theirs, while there is still momentum in the system. HP's time is past.
There are two scenarios here. In the first instance, you're an innocent member of the public who has been arrested for {wearing a hoodie, being the wrong ethnicity, photographing something} and the police take you into custody briefly before letting you go. In this case, they're probably not hugely interested in the contents of your phone and are just fishing for data. If they can't get anything from your phone, they'll just let you have it back when they let you go. Minimal barriers to data extraction should be sufficient here, and the advantage of encryption is that your phone remains usable once you decrypt the data again. Bear in mind that you're an innocent person who doesn't want to wipe all the data off your computing devices at a moment's notice.

In the second scenario, you're a hardened terrorist who has just been caught red-handed selling child pornography in order to fund an international drug deal with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. In this case, the police will go to great lengths to extract data from your phone, and will force you to hand over encryption keys. Here you probably want your phone to self-destruct as completely as possible, at the very least wiping all data from it.

My point is that the self-destruct option is only a good fit for someone who expects to face a serious attempt at data extraction. Encryption should be sufficient to prevent casual snooping from any attackers, police included.

A story about Asra Nadeem
If there really are so many things that drive employees crazy, then something's wrong anyway. There are many people who don't complain about stuff in the open, but get fed up more and more until they just quit - perhaps without telling you the reasons at all. Apart from such peoples' quirks, culture often discourages criticism for all employees. There are many possibilities to avoid such situations, but the one I like best is described in Tony Hsieh's book about Zappos: a public culture book which is basically a report on what goes good and wrong in the company.
It's foolish to believe that people most often leave for the money - I'm quite sure that 50-80% of quittings are due to crappy culture and its consequences (e.g., too small monitors :)).
People like you are the reason that everyone on the web is a boring old asshat. The point? Some people don't know how to use JavaScript properly, and just use jQuery for hiding elements, which ain't great.

Because they have $50m? It's an interesting psychological effect that as you have more money, you want to buy more expensive things purely because you can.

I remember my friend getting an internship at <MegaCorp> on about £15k for the year (totally tax free). While he was on that wage he refused to pay less than £30 for a t-shirt, whilst I would expect at least 2 or 3 t-shirts for that price.

Ask HN: How to "switch off" after work?
Hi HN. I've been having stress-related health problems lately. Now, before you all start screaming "Go see a doctor!", I already did. I've made some changes in my personal life already, but work keeps on being a source of stress.

I have problems "switching off" after work. I work in a web development company on various projects that all demand my attention. With my boss I have reduced the number of projects I'm working on but it still keeps me occupied after hours.

What usually happens is that some sales guy or other non-techie comes to me asking me about future projects or estimates or something that they think is a simple question. They hope for a quick answer not realising that answering their questions would actually involve doing quite a bit of thinking and solving technical puzzles. My geek brain loves puzzles and has a hard time trying not to solve them.

When it's only a few things this isn't that much of a problem. I put it in the back of my mind, let it percolate and simmer for a couple of days or weeks and usually after a couple of days I suddenly find a nice solution (for some reason this usually happens in the shower or on the toilet. Don't ask me why). But if I have too many puzzles simmering in the back of my mind I get overloaded leading to some unpleasant physical side effects. Continuing high heart rate and blood pressure, trouble sleeping, anxiety, etcetera. You know the feeling after someone gave you a good scare? Imagine feeling that way all the time. Not fun.

I want to learn how to "switch off" after work. It's not that I don't enjoy the projects. Generally they are great, involving things I really love to work on, with very interesting technical challenges that I'd love to solve. There's just too many of them. On the doctor's advise I'm currently working half days instead of full days and that sucks. I feel like I'm letting my team mates down.

Have you ever been in this situation? How did you get out of it? How do you guys keep from overloading your brains?

Thanks in advance for your advise!

The key's in that "virtually". The returns from more expensive things are diminishing, but they are still there. Not so long ago I bought a new shirt for about 10x what I usually spend. It's not 10x nicer - but it /is/ that little bit nicer; every time I wear it it adds a little bit of joy to my day.

I've seen it argued that that's a much more effective way to enjoy money: rather than making drastic changes to your lifestyle, just make every little thing you do that little bit nicer.
I agree with what you say.

> the advantage of encryption is that your phone remains usable once you decrypt the data again.

Assuming the police don't damage the phone or data in attempts to extract data. And assuming they keep it for a reasonable length of time, and not for months while they slowly grind through the process of finding forensic examiners who'll look at it.

You mention laws that force users to hand over encryption keys. These are worrying! In the UK that'd be RIPA.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_Investigatory_Pow...)

Here's a quote from the wiki article:

> The first person jailed under RIPA Part III, for not giving police access to encrypted material, was a schizophrenic man who was later judged to be no threat to national security. He said he was refusing to provide keys on principle, on the basis that he should have a right to silence. He was jailed for 9 months for refusing to hand over his decryption keys, or otherwise decrypt the data, and was later moved to a secure mental hospital part way through his sentence. Notably, the encrypted material in question was not suspected of securing illegal material.

EDIT: The article says that the phone data is only taken when the phones are suspected of being used in crime, and that the data is kept, so the police will want to decrypt it.

I'm sorry, but you can't say my project is trivial if you haven't seen it. 200 lines is not trivial.

I've just told you: the game is done, it works, levels are designed with 3 lua tables, and its a done deal. This is not trivial in any sense other than your hardwired computation that "200 lines must be trivial, thats not nearly enough"... alas, it seems you're missing the point, entirely.

Its not a toy if it consumes less LOC than some alternative and yet gets the same job done.
> If people start with "Hi, I have a problem" and don't state what the problem is I just respond with "drop me the details and I'll have a quick think" and get back to my work.

If people start with "Hi, I have a problem" and don't state what the problem is I close the chat window.

My work IM's status clearly states "if you have a question, ask it, don't ask if you can ask", time wasters simply get ignored.

> Some problems require a more urgent response so I'll accept a walk-up or a shout for those

Absolutely.
So what you're saying is that you haven't got any experience and haven't got the faintest clue in what you're talking about (VC funding), but you're still giving advice to people and were trying to sell an "e-book" about it?

Of course, I know that some people are making a very good living by doing just this - writing about stuff they know nothing about. But this isn't going to earn you any favours here.

You said in another comment that you're an accountant. Are you a good accountant and do you like accounting? If yes, there's plenty to do on that front. Accounting is something that most people hate and see as being horribly complex. Yet, it's something that all entrepreneur have to do very early on in their business - they just don't have a choice. What about you write about this instead? I'm pretty sure you could end up with something a lot more useful than this "e-book".

Another tip: don't lie. Don't tell me that I'm going to get a book and then give me a 2.5-page check-list that has less content than an average blog post. Don't tell me that I'm going to "dominate pitches" or "speak their language" and give me a copied-and-pasted list that anybody interested in raising VC funding would have read a hundred times already.

A check-list is a check-list. A blog post is blog post. A book is a book. It's that simple. Pretending otherwise will only get you angry customers.
sudo poweroff;

But seriously: for me, cycling from/to work is a good way to clear my head - it's a 40-minute-to-1-hour commute; I find that sufficient to stop thinking about work.
The ones that are advertised are from Microsoft. Because they have the money. I'm a - past time active - Turkey LUG/LUF (Linux User Foundation) member and we still continuously do events but lack the funding for advertisement.

On the topic, In my point of view, these moves are just wasting government funding, even a corruption possibility. If you know about Deniz Feneri Lawsuit you can understand my doubts.

Without deep understanding of the upcoming results and project targets, these projects are only time and resource wasting. Also giving false hopes to parents about our education systems quality.
Find a completely different set of problems that you also enjoy working on. Find a hobby that occupies your mind as much as your work, but is quite different from your work. Maybe start learning about quantum entanglement or the WH40k Space Marines backstory.

Or you could turn to drinking :)
As a Dutch person this kind of behavior is the norm. It actually pervades all of society.

Dutch service (in restaurants) for example isn't bad because our waiters are rude. It's bad because we see the waiters as our equals and they're thus not as deferential as foreigners demand/expect.

Very often they also pretty much are our equals, as they're largely well educated students who might very well end up earning more than you in 10 years.

Even our royalty rides their bike to the restaurant in the rain... because that's what you're supposed to do.

So perhaps SF is just more egalitarian ....

No. No, it couldn't work. Clearly while we bask in the glory of Carmageddon's pixelated decapitations, we'll all be too misty eyed to consider anything other than some pleasant childhood memory that occurred =/-5 years of playing Carmageddon.

That said, if Carmageddon and World of Tanks had babies, I'd want to be at the birth.
First thing I do when I get back from work is play video games for an hour or so. That lets me relax and forget completely about work, plus recuperate some energy. After that, the coding begins. I strongly believe that an hour or so of video games can really help, if you have the time. It completely occupies your mind, you can't really think of anything else whilst playing.
Exercise and meditation.

CBT if it's affecting your life and you can find a practitioner or good book ("mind over mood" is often recommended but I'm not sure if it's a good fit).

EDIT: You may want to set up a "relax routine" - routines tell your body that now is a time to relax. You need to work at it, but it does help. You might want to try an hour of gentle reading with a warm milky drink (NO CAFFEINE) followed by a quick shower.

You may want to try cutting out almost all caffeine, just have a bit in the morning.

You say this:

> On the doctor's advise I'm currently working half days instead of full days and that sucks. I feel like I'm letting my team mates down.

Don't feel guilty! Getting help now means you'll be able to work harder longer when you're well. Not getting stuff sorted out now risks a bigger more severe burn out, with longer time off. You'd do the same for them. No-one wants you to be stressed.
I have to say I agree.

Sure, you might say, there are some geniuses in Open Source who are obnoxious, and we need them. But my question is this - how many geniuses who are quiet and confrontation averse have left Open Source, never to return, because of the way they were treated?

Exactly. During traditional class, as I recall, your options are roughly these: 1) mess around with something, 2) study or make it look like that.

In terms of temporal motivation theory, the utility of messing around is much higher than the utility of boring study. Two ways to fix this—either lower the utility of messing around, or raise the utility of actual learning.

A punishment by teacher (with high enough expectancy) for messing around with classmates or cellphone does the first. Obviously, a book is too boring—but replace it with an iPad and children can now play games while no one notices[0], which makes the utility of messing around go up again.

Another, arguably better way would be raising the utility of actual learning relative to messing around with stuff. In other words, make so that children would like to do it themselves—through some psychological reward (valuable and close enough temporarily), or by making it an enjoyable process (i.e., immediate reward). It means fixing the system though.

From the Kickstarter FAQ:

> We plan to produce a Mac OSX version shortly after the PC release, with Xbox 360 and PS3 following as soon as possible afterwards. (And on to even more platforms, as funds and time allow...)
