Walk away. Take the stock, you actually got a pretty damn good deal (assuming you weren't ripped off on your stock package in the first place). Even 1/10 of the stock package of a typical #1 employee is usually better than a #5 employee. Don't expect to get anything out of it.

Move on. Don't mull over it. It's actually a great time to be into startups… there has never been such a drought of developers. Hell, maybe learn how to code, while you're at it.
A tuple, behind the scenes, is just a type tag, a refcount, a length, and an array of PyObject pointers. A list, instead of having a fixed array of PyObject pointers, has a pointer to a dynamically resizable array of them. Tuples and lists are both iterable, they both have O(1) indexing and fairly efficient internal representations, but the key difference is mutability. A tuple is supposed to be a composite data type; a list is a dynamic array that you store things in.

Aside from mutability, though, tuples can do pretty much anything lists can, and usually a bit more efficiently.

Ten years of IT wages seems a bit more costly than some fancy hardware, particularly when you remember the pension.
$500-1k appliances with Atom CPUs running pfSense, please, not $100 clunkers with spinning drives and dust-laden fans.

Anything more than that for a moderately large library or most schools is an outlandish, shameful waste of money and equipment.
IMO, the reason Linus is where he is today as an icon and at least some part of the reason we have a rock solid Linux to use across all our commercial and non-commercial projects is because Linus has strong opinions about how things should be.

Somehow, I don't know or have read about that many (if any) world-changing people, who also happen to be "so nice and understanding of others opinions" or "agrees to disagree".

I'm sorry, but there are indeed few ways to design a BMW and many ways to design a glob of metal that can't even move.
I have a buddy who sells routing equipment at this level. Doesn't have a degree in Fahrenheit, but just cleared a mil in his bank account, owns his 6 bedroom Connecticut home outright and keeps a beach house in Mystic. He's 38. I'm 36, a doc, and still paying off student loans and working for Uncle Sam.
It's a shame to hear horror stories (yes, I'll call it that), especially when it involves PHP (my bread and butter).

Luckily, our CEO trusts me and my team to retain everything good we build, and that's done via unit tests.

Found a bug that saved the company thousands? Fix it and write a test. The odds of losing out on that again are near zero. :)

Ultimately, it dose come down to culture. Good leadership understands humans are error-prone and can't retain everything we touch.

If you're into Symfony2 and dig remote work, ping me sometime.
I don't think that part of your thesis is too controversial. The big idea of common law, for example, is that courts try to make their decisions reasonably consistent with previous decisions, not because they think that this will necessarily lead to the best decisions each time, but because this makes the law predictable. Predictable laws are an important part of a good business environment.

My big problem with the legislative branch is that they love to make law and they do so recklessly. This bypass any attempt at making laws consistent and predictable or any attempt to figure out whether those laws are any good.
Thanks..
yeah, all my work
Try and talk to them about (back-dated) expense reports, but that's probably it if you in fact want to keep relationships with the founders.

PS. If I read between the lines correctly, the "tiny equity package" basically reflects their opinion of your contributions to the business, i.e. it wasn't much. This in turn implies you were let go because of that rather because "things changed" and you weren't a "good fit anymore". If this is close to reality, then I can certainly appreciate the general mood you are in, but take it as a valuable experience and learn from it. If money is an issue, just tell them exactly that - "I'm in a crunch, please help." The chances are that they will. I saw an absolutely abysmal programmer get hired back on a short contract as a favor, because he would've lost his home otherwise. Just don't lawyer up for crissake (or do it very discreetly), that's an ass move that will not make things any better.
The fact that the US has not upgraded is not an existence proof, it's simply one piece of supporting evidence. There are other possible reasons why the upgrade hasn't happened even if it makes overall economic sense - perhaps the cost of fraud and the cost of upgrades aren't borne by the same actors; perhaps there's some kind of game theoretic problem like a first mover disadvantage; perhaps the actors aren't acting entirely rationally.

It seems like the upgrade of terminal equipment could be done quite cheaply if it was done as part of the regular cycle of equipment refresh, for example.
I'm going on my 12th device this week and expect at least two more next month. My partner has 6 devices at his place.

Part of the problem is Google is releasing OSes faster than devices can keep up, and in a few cases I'm buying simply because the prior's OS is stuck yet I have to satisfy new devices users too. For example, I have Galaxy Tab from IO which is stuck on 3.1, but all new tablets use 4.0 and there's unexpected differences between them.

The killer reason for us is the dreaded 1-star review because we missed a particular combo (screen/OS). We have > 1M users between 2 apps w/ 4.2+ ratings each as a result.

Once you're making some good $$, you really can't afford not to have a device library.
I'd always avoided using Facebook to sign into any third party service due to privacy concerns (and eventually deleted my Facebook account altogether). But this is another good reason not to that I had never even really considered before. I wonder what will happen to user data for Facebook users... Will Grooveshark be able to let those users create a new local account and somehow tie their old data to it? Seems unlikely to me.

I never understood the one account to rule them all mindset. It drives me nuts when my wife uses the same password for every service she ever signs up for, and it seems that using the same account for everything is only mildly better (reduces the recovery time if your password is compromised to updating a single account instead of dozens).

Thank goodness for KeePass and random password generators!
Living in a country with no street numbers / very few road names... Yes.
There's a book called 'the Art of SEO' from O'Reilly that's really quite good.

As far as websites, both SEOmoz and SEObook are both great, even though they represent very different opinions and frequently disagree.

There's a surplus of SEO material on the internet, ranging from great to potentially harmful if followed.

Read everything, but don't believe everything you think.
Not if you also ask for the user email though the Facebook API. In this case people can get access by getting a password reset sent to their email. This is what Grooveshark is doing right now and what most people using Facebook for signing in do too.
Yahoo's What-to-Watch like interface in CSS3
The article didn't say that, no; the fact that the whole article is a criticism of Mozilla would seem to be an implication that that criticism would extend to Mozilla's argument, but that's an indirect implication, to be sure. But the trouble is that, if that wasn't the point of the article, then once again it seems like a rather silly topic for an article. If the author is really purely interested in people who criticize one company but not another for arbitrary reasons, well, I'm not sure I can see much that's very compelling in that.

To put it bluntly, if he's not actually talking about the software or freedom or the market or anything of substance - if he really is just saying Mozilla should either shut up or criticize Apple, without any regard to whether the criticism is right or the companies being criticized are wrong - then he is being petty, plain and simple.
PG once stated that he wouldn't fund a first-time startup founder over the age of 35. I remember reading that at 28, and saying "oh crap. I have 7 years."

5 years later, I know how to make my own money. I'm no longer worried about meeting PG at 36.

I see Linux enthusiasts talking about how their parents are happy with their Linux distro all the time -- that's not an argument for desktop Linux though. Nobody's saying Linux isn't good at browsing the web and checking mail and writing the occasional document.
I view anonymous as more about feeling good about themselves rather than doing good for people.

They are more like terrorists. Terrorists are in those organizations to feel good about themselves and create a sense of belonging. They don't care about achieving purported political goals. They often alienate people. They consider terrorist attack as first resort, not last resort.

What sense would it make for Al Queda to attack fellow Muslims or even have bombs exploded around Muslims, for example? Would a Muslim support Al Queda if he fear his family getting killed in some random attack?

Even more, they're not even good at murder.

Anonymous are that way. They don't care about the consequence. They don't care about the goal they're trying to achieve. They are doing it to feel good. They are a dysfunctional organization.

There are 8 standard screen sizes as well as 3 popular OSes. Of those are 4 major OS updates and 4 new screen sizes introduced since IO last year.
Well, they're asking me to pay like 5 times the original amount I charged them and this only came after like 6 months since I refunded them the deposit.

As for what went wrong, it's a case of both having a better offer (work at a startup) and burn out from bad experiences with other clients.
That's total crap.

Unless you did something really wrong, custom would be getting your 1-year cliff and maybe a bit more (3-6 months vesting?), plus a month of salary or so as severance, in exchange for signing.

They're trying to get a "sweetheart deal" for themselves -they know you're not represented, and they figure it's worth a shot. The signature is irrevocable, so be very careful with it.

You should get an employment attorney to give you advice before you respond, and if he recommends it, have him fire off a nastygram to the company.

Showing the company you have representation is likely to make the company sit down seriously and give you something reasonable. No startup can afford to spend its $$$ and attention on legal back-and-forth.

I know you said money is tight, but an employment attorney doesn't have to be expensive. You'll get free advice in a consultation, and if you choose to engage them, usually ~$500-1000 will buy you nastygrams to the company from the attorney, a couple phone calls with their attorneys, and advice on a settlement. Doty Barlow is a firm I've used for employment advice - small group with lower rates but solid guys. (I have no personal connection or financial incentive for an endorsement).

Good luck, it's hard to lose your "baby", and worse to be hurt like that. Just keep the dispute private, and be a gentleman, and you'll walk away smelling like a rose :)

Sounds like a buffoon was in charge of the operation. Gianato suggesting that the unused/unneeded T1 interface cards could still be used for "video conferencing, wireless Internet and "voice over Internet protocol." is just painful to read. I am not sure how they can be used for such things if you don't actually stick them in a router!

I would still like to see a breakdown of the costs and what services are provided with the routers before I call it a total waste though. If it was just the routers then it was a waste. If it includes other things like a long term warranty & onsite service, then maybe not so much.
Don't sign anything without getting advice.
It captures the awkward expensive less functional nature of the product.
Beware that even if you had vested stock you typically would have to buy the options for whatever they were worth when you were hired, within 90 days. If you're broke now, you'll need to find some place to get the money to buy those options, which may or may not be a good investment.
Since it's big money that I would be on the hook for, you bet I make them wait while I read the contract front to back. Yes, it annoys the escrow officer, but too bad.
I must confess my heart sunk for a split second as we're working on the exact same problem with a very similar approach at http://method.ac, but as they say: if there's no existing competitors it means that the problem likely doesn't exist in the first place.

Looking forward to competing when we launch too!

That's a good point, but I don't think it's the question. Let's start by putting yourself in Microsoft's shoes... and by making the silly assumption that Apple's lock down of iOS is acceptable (suspending reality for a moment).

Write a piece of software for internal use. Now write a piece of software with public API's that will be available to every developer on the planet and will have to be supported for a decade.

You might find that opening up your code for global use may be easy, but it's more often the exception. But there's no denying it will push your ship date out further.

Given MS is so far behind in the ARM-based computing category, it's ludicrous to apply anti-trust restrictions on them. I wouldn't want that to happen to any company, including the ones I hate.

I probably won't ever use one of these Windows 8 tablets, given I have 4 iPads lying around the apartment and prefer Ubuntu on my laptops. But I'd still like to see as many awesome tablet choices on the shelves as possible. Microsoft is putting in a great deal of effort into making a quality product. It's already behind by several years. Let's see what they can do.
Talk to a lawyer. A good lawyer is your best friend and won't make things more confrontational. He or she will vastly improve the situation by making clear to you (and others if necessary) that you know what you options are. For what it is worth (IANAL), my understanding is that California law does provide some protection for employees in this situation, no matter what the contract says.

Kudos to Stallman for standing up to that nonsense.
You can get an ASA 5505 firewall with all the features you'll ever need for a small library installation for about $1200 retail (hell of a lot less if you're buying, say, 50 of them), and any network engineer who can't handle ASA configuration in his sleep should be fired immediately for gross incompetence.

There is no excuse for this insanity.

Hey, thanks for joining the discussion!

Now, hn, could we please not discourage authors from joining the discussion here? If you hit the down arrow and the post turns grey they really deserve an explanatory post. Even though it's "obvious".
That is offensively over the top nonsense. Being immature and being murderers are not even remotely "like" each other.

From your description it seems that nothing important came of reading the contract, it was boilerplate except for some minor points.
Not quite. Cisco will probably take this purchase as a signal to produce more unnecessarily large routers. Those people paid to make the unnecessary routers could have used their valuable skills elsewhere. They may convince more people to learn how to build unnecessary routers instead of something more valuable. It's waste all the way down.
Yes.

It's possible your email won't have done much damage. Don't worry about it... just get a lawyer.

It makes things much simpler.
Anonymous isn't "supposed to represent" any community. What part of the definition of the word "anonymous" confuses you into thinking it means an identity for a group. The whole point of "Anonymous" is that it is absent any determinable identity so that whatever statment/action gets made in its name has to stand on its own context-less merit.
> Rather, its actions are a reflection of the collective consciousness of the members that comprise it.

...then...

> Anonymous is a moniker taken up by those who feel compelled to act, and yet fear to do so in their own name.

You were right the second time. Anonymous no more has "members" than "libertarian" has members. It's just an adjective.

I don't think Win8 on ARM will be a huge success. Not even a moderate one. What I think, and Microsoft seems to agree, is that ARM based devices will dwarf the x86 PC market, driving it to irrelevance. The x86 PC is Microsoft's cash-cow and they have nothing to replace it.

So, again, Windows on ARM is where Microsoft is going and whatever action MS gets, will be from it.

Won't be much, but if they manage not to screw it up, it may grant Microsoft a few more years.

And yes, they are doomed. Good riddance.
> The major exception is for the large game developers who have to buy tons of various configurations of GPUs

The same is also true for Android. Most (all?) of the valid complaint about how hard it is to target different Android devices comes from game developers struggling to get which version of OpenGL to use, which OpenGL API calls are bugged on which devices, how to circumvent low level GPU limitations on this or that device, etc. And afaik, those are usually based on incomplete and broken implementations by GPU vendors as well. Same as with windows.

Most of the regular utility app, which use normal Android layout and API instead of OpenGL, are doing fine just testing their app in different AVDs (instances of the emulator) just to make sure they're compatible with different devices.

(then of course, there's a few newbies who didn't spend 10 minutes reading the guide for running on different devices on d.android.com, then whine their app's font looks different on a friend's phone. But I'm counting those out)

Where and why you are using Python?
My thoughts in summary: what a difference a name makes.

iPhone runs iOS; most people don't even consider it OSX, so expectations about what apps should be there aren't based on precedence.

"Windows 8 on ARM" /sounds/ like just another platform (out of many) that Windows has been ported to. The expectation is usually based upon what the software vendor can be bothered to port, rather than what Microsoft does.

So to me it's easier to understand why people would have different expectations compared to Apple on this. Change the name and don't include any legacy UI if you want a more direct comparison to be more obvious.

Technically you will be using the Objective-C compiler, so it is still Objective-C even if the syntax looks like C.

The same applies if you would be using the C subset of a C++ compiler.
My favorite by far is that every policy says "we will only do X, Y, or as permitted by law", which is a wildcard that says they will do whatever they want unless it is forbidden for some other reason anyway.
