It's not hard if you pay attention: Apple introduced a new, completely incompatible platform that can't run OSX software, runs only on ARM and whose programs you can't run on OSX. iOS is not the future version of OSX.

Microsoft has an OS whose next version is getting a new API. It's Microsoft's most important product and one you pretty much can't buy a computer without. So, we can agree that, one year from now, most PC's will be running it. It runs on both x86 and ARM and the big deal is that, on ARM, due to a deliberate choice, only Microsoft browsers will run JavaScript code acceptably. Many people believe ARM will be more relevant than x86 soon and that the browser is the API programs will be written for. Microsoft wants to re-enact the IE6 farce by artificially limiting what browsers run on Windows 8 on the platform they think will be most relevant.

I think this is largely the expression of terrible, terrible social skills. I've seen appalling things toward women and men alike from young, socially inept Bay Area tech males.

Also, for what it's worth, I've received a lot of crap from women over the course of my working life. In college, I worked in a deli where I was the only male. There was outright sexual harassment, and regular dismissal of me solely because I'm a man. Even in tech roles, I've had problems with female bosses who were horrible, socially incompetent worker bees who got promoted out of what they should have been doing (implementation instead of management).
1. If it is a lowball offer, you won't keep respect if you accept it. Nobody respects a schmuck.

2. As a minority shareholder, everything revolves around what they are contented to give you. Facebook movie got something right - if majority want to screw u they can (depending on how much effort they are willing to spend doing so!)

3. How can you keep a good relationship with them? - e.g. I work some hours per week for free and keep on good terms with founders to retain my minority shareholding.

I am an engineer type, so read above as random engineer dude advice :-)
My take from that message is he doesn't care if they fix it or not, but rather he won't be doing pull requests in it's current state.
It probably also helps cut down on people trying to whine and wheedle their way to his acquiescence.

Think of a college student, relentlessly begging the professor for an A on a paper that just barely deserved a B-.
IOS and Android Fragmentation - A Developer's Perspective
Yep.

Large company. East-coast based. Where non-competes are legal and common.

Working on the left coast, I demurred.

I got the left-coast version of the contract, no non-compete.

In other circumstances, I might request a substantial portion (up to or exceeding 100% of my salary, given that actual costs typically run 140-200% of salary) for the duration of any noncompete. Consideration.

In this particular case, when the property I was working for was divested (and riffed) some time later, I has fully unencumbered. Others had noncompetes, though these were not valid in that state. I'm not aware of any action being taken on the basis of that contract, but noncompetes can and have been enforced (notably recently between Microsoft and Google trading employees back and forth).

That said, this is precisely the sort of thing a labor union or professional guild would be in a very good position to make more acceptable standard boilerplate for.
In SF, I witnessed the classic: guy offers sandwich to 'hungry' homeless guy. Homeless guy responds, "what kind is it?" Apparently, beggars can be choosers.
Define code quality: braindead GNU extensions such as nested functions - Linux uses that, How about the separation of DM and MD due to ego's, how every driver without a lib (such as libata) warranting a few exceptions has to rewrite boilerplate for basic things - frame buffer drivers are a good example. How about the syscall bugs - look into glibc if you feel like gouging your eyes out or jemalloc for more tame code. Linux itself is more an ecosystem of code and not a single project some parts are good while others are very very bad.
First off sorry you are in this situation it sucks. I have mentored quite a few people thru this situation and here are my thoughts. If you can afford it a lawyer is a good idea. It doesn't hurt your relationship with your other founders. They clearly consulted lawyers before letting you go which is why they are asking you for a release. On the other hand don't just use the lawyers to communicate with the other founders but do use them to understand your rights and your situation. Your co-founders should respect you even more if you stand up for what you believe in and what you are owed. It may be painful in the short term but generally I find people respect those who stand up for themselves. If they are asking for a release you have leverage and I don't think it is a big stretch to ask for your 12 months. One thing to discuss with lawyers is what were the terms of your offer letter. Was their acceleration? Are they trying to terminate you for cause? If so this is really hard to prove in California and its unlikely they would try to do so.
Finally on the expenses if you have the receipts submit them its another item in your favor.
In the end there is often a lot more to these stories than it seems so I am sure there is a lot more going on, but if you keep a cool head and focus on getting to something that is fair you can close this chapter and move on to your next with the knowledge that you got what you deserved and learned some valuable lessons
Those first four bullets may be true statements, but the second bullet point is a half-truth. It should read "As technology gets more powerful, the potential for causing harm will be greater AND the amount of freedom will increase by some arbitrary amount." It's then reasonable to say that new laws are made to put new technologies in check. It's a lot harder to reach the same conclusion if that's the case.
Anonymous is group of predominately middle-class 16-24 year olds who want to feel purpose, control over their lives, control over their environment, and part of a community. They're angry and feel disenfranchised and want to feel like they have power.

That's it.

In order to achieve those goals they manufacture or adopt causes which pit them against some 'evil' which they can 'fight'. It's a lynch mob. Even if I thought they were going after entity I didn't like, I would never say I was 'pro-anon' in the same way I'm not 'pro-lynch mob' when the lynch mob is going after someone I don't like.
does anyone else think its weird that the majority of the reviews are either 5 stars or 1 stars?
I've walked from doctors offices when faced with similar waivers: pre-auth, non-disparagement, and binding arbitration being notable red flags.
That's just not how it works. Pretty much every startup uses the 1 year cliff. And rightly so, because for a very early employee 1/48 of the employee's options is not a trivial amount of equity. You could hire a guy that comes in and works for a few months and then leaves and takes .3% or whatever of the company. That is just as bad of a screwjob as what happened to the OP, and companies are right to protect themselves.

Anyway, the right answer here is to work for someone who doesn't pull crap like this. And if the OP was competent at his job, I would hope the other employees have seen what happened and are properly aware of their employer's shady ethics. In any regard, this is just bad business and likely killed morale to some degree.
I know what you mean, but I don't think the logic follows properly. I think that someone who cares is likely to write better code than if they didn't, but I can assure from my limited experience working with others, caring and passion doesn't make someone a good programmer.
...abiding by the limitations imposed by the Google Maps API which is what is to blame for it lacking those features.
Fake doctors note
While using a fake doctor’s note is a bit unethical, its prevalent use today indicates that people have many reasons to justify it. It continues to be a contentious topic with divergence of opinion on the matter. Many people do not consider fake doctor’s excuses to constitute a major offense, and do not see it as any different that telling a small lie that hurts no one, and does not carry any major consequences. Two of the most common justifications for using a fake note e is that many people today cannot afford healthcare and visiting a doctor is expensive, and people do not get enough time off in a society that does prioritizes work over rest.
But it could pretty easily be argued that it's something that we should be spending money on. The existence of an argument against a course of action doesn't, on its face, preclude taking that course of action. Such a line of thinking is, well, bizarre.

"1 is big government spending (with little oversight)"

The obvious problem here isn't "big government" spending. It's spending without oversight. This problem occurs all the time everywhere, in sectors both public and private. To claim that private businesses are immune to this by nature of their ability to fail and thus inherently a better mechanism than government is an absolute farce.

Take ownership of your government. To view the elimination of government as a solution to bad governance is both a lazy approach to problem solving and toxic to proper governing.
I've done this in the past. When I used to travel by train (and live in England) I spent a lot of time waiting at London train stations. If my train wasn't imminent and I was approached I would offer to buy the beggar a meal at any of the concessions in the station.

In contrast to Stallman's experience, I was never rebuffed - occasionally asked to go outside the station to get vegetarian food (seemed reasonable to me) and once asked if I could also buy food for someones girlfriend as well (chutzpah pays!). Some of these people where interesting, some less so, just the same as any random sample of the human race.

I don't find myself in those situations in my current living/working situation, but I like to keep my mind open to these possibilities
Number 4 is awesome! Portland, Reno, and San Diego are all weekend car-trips away (~8 hours 1 way, so 16 hours driving gives about a half a weekend's worth of time for exploring) for two or more people. You can also fly to have more time there, and flights are only about ~$150 round trip on Southwest. Then there's Napa, Monterrey, Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Muir Woods, Point Reyes, Santa Cruz, Sonoma, and probably more that I'm forgetting as well. And then there's SF, Oakland, and San Jose, which all have events on the weekends, not to mention various things to do and see as well.

Number 7 is pretty great, too. Some are only going to be around until there is an abundance of well qualified software engineers, like free snacks and drinks and ornate gamerooms. But others, like flexible hours are just the nature of this job, so any place that understands how to maximize productivity will allow for this in various degrees.

And I'm just at a post-ipo company that most people haven't heard of, so it's not like i'm looking down from my ivory tower at facebook, apple, google, microsoft, or <trendy startup>.
Your platinum, water connection made me think again about the recently announced space mining venture for some reason...
Pretty much. One of the biggest problems with a lot of renewable energy is it's not reliable. Sun doesn't shine, wind isn't blowing, etc. So you need a way to store energy in a buffer to smooth out fluctuations. Hydrogen is looking like the best long term bet for that. You might even be able to use it for hydrogen cars, but then you run into problems with transportation and crash-proof storage that you don't have with just a tank in your back yard.
We are talking browsers here, there isn't much differentiation, it's a basic service. Even then, mobile safari is the most advanced one...
I'll take my time explaining what professionalism is, and what it means in the workplace. I'll take care not to offend you as I explain the roles of men and women in any industry.

Some place I can find this?
Hmm, not completely sure what this article is getting at but it seems to be implying that men and women are the same and would feel the same way when reacting to such things as sexual harassment and whether or not you're desirable to the opposite sex.

That's basically a completely false premise.

Because of biological facts and the resultant social history, men and women have completely different values and attitudes to sex. As such this story seems pretty unrealistic to me.

That's not to say that patriarchy doesn't suck and that women doesn't face a lot of adversity in tech and so on.
JQuery.ish - A Simpler jQuery
I think that is answered by the fact that Apple called it MapKit instead of GoogleMaps or something along those lines.
> dreaded 1 star reviews

This is very obvious when looking at app ratings - users seem to blame model even if problem is entirely unrelated.

Hell, the Play Store ratings shows the user's model/device name under each user's review... that leads users to quickly blame their model type.
Does that in any way change his argument that the money could have been put to better use?
Exactly, my website was ranked 420th in France by alexia. Then facebook decided to close my application and to ban my domain from using their API. And now I'm nothing.

Windows has a couple of different font rendering systems. Chrome uses GDI, IE9 uses DirectWrite, and Firefox can use either. DirectWrite is a lot smoother, and that's most of the reason why I prefer Firefox in Windows.

The fonts on this site look worst in Win/FF. They're not great in Win/Chrome, but at least they look well matched. It looks good in OSX/Chrome. Probably because that's what it was developed in.

Protip: different browsers render fonts differently. Test your site before you release it into the wild.
Messing around with vertical scrolling is dangerous. The page behaves _very_ differently between chrome and firefox. Firefox seems to work better...it knows when I'm scrolling the page vs scrolling the control.

Chrome through is completely disjointed. You start scrolling the page, it suddenly stops and scrolls the control, and once you are at the end of it, the page starts scrolling again. I find it nearly unusable in chrome.

The full page demo works ok, but only because the page itself doesn't scroll.

Note that the code samples, at the bottom of the page, behave the same way.
Facebook was just another PHP/MySQL CRUD web app. Lame.

Anyway I haven't tried your products, but I'm very positive about what you're trying to do. The HN community is so comfortable with programming that they'll connect less with the value of this concept than many, so take their comments with a grain of salt. For the countless people out there who feel constrained by their knowledge of spreadsheets --- useful but limited in scale --- this could be very useful, if done right

AFAIK they did add user features during that time like a pop-up blocker (look at the Longhorn 4000 builds and XP SP2). But the rendering engine and most of the other things that matter to web developers was I think left unchanged except for minor bugfixes.

As someone who uses public transit, I couldn't care less about turn by turn or voice nav. All I want from iOS 6 Maps.app is alternate transit routes. As much as I agree with Apple's move from a srratigic standpoint, as a user I'm worried about possible regressions.

I hope they choose to release it only for the iPad or iPod touch to gauge reaction before releasing it to iPhone users. I think the average usage of those products would allow a pretty Maps app that still needs fleshing out, whereas I need my phone maps app to be reliable over all else.
Reading this is really awkward. And it's not awkward because it reveals some hidden truth, or because it's a good piece of writing that reflects on the issue it's tackling.

No, instead it's awkward because the gender dynamics are not reversible. At least, not in the manner that's intended here. You can't just take the circumstances that women face in tech fields, and switch around the pronouns and have the circumstances make sense, because doing so does not swap out the cultural contexts which reside in the reader's head (which is one of the critical points in the veil of ignorance thought experiment: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veil_of_ignorance ).

There are female dominated fields in which men are rare (nursing and dietetics to name two) and encounter all sort of social awkwardness due to being the minority. But the sorts of circumstances that guys face, while there are some correlations, are not analogous problems to the problems that women face in fields in which they are the minority. The oft cited thing keeping men out of nursing and dietetics are cultural things like the work not being "manly" enough, as opposed to facing sexual harassment and pejorative or demeaning behavior.
He did actually say "Liberal" and not Democrat. There is a bit of a distinction there. Generally the Liberal party in the US isn't so Liberal and the Conservative party isn't so Conservative. I mean when you get down to it, in US politics...nobody's really much of anything. To peg it all down on a bunch of labels adds about nothing to meaningful discourse, because the labels don't mean anything.
FOREX TRADING STRATEGIES – MY UNFAILING FOREX TRADING STRATEGIES
I've been appreciating all the articles on HN calling out sexism in the [tech] workplace. It's actually made me change my own behavior at work, though I've been told I never offended anyone, I've started doing things like never saying "that's what she said" as well as chastising co-workers when they say it.

It would be nice if there were something to say instead, that could still add a lightness and moment of comedy to a conversation, but without being offensive. Haven't found a phrase yet that fits that mold though.

I'm kinda hoping this is a joke, but I'm also guessing not.

The point is you would feel as helpless and frustrated as women do now if the tables were turned and the entire social structure was set up so as to belittle you and give you little recourse to respond.

Also men and women are very similar in terms of values and attitudes towards sex regardless of the prevailing popular myths.
As I said, why not 10:1 (a commonly repeated, equally unsupported ratio) 50:1 or 100:1? So no, the 25:1 number came from being in the unique position to spout precise-sounding, unsubstantiated numbers in an environment where nobody would argue with him. What did occur to me is there are no significant digits in that number.

This is a pretty artificial and transparent effort, but it's well intentioned.

It's often interesting to see commentary from fields where the gender divide skews heavily toward women. Libraries are one good example - I know several people of both genders who work in them. To make some broad generalization, sexual harassment tends to be a more minor issue, but "drama" and territorialism tends to be much worse.

One example of this - a male I know enjoyed working with some of his female coworkers better than others. As a result, there were complaints and grumbling from other staff members. It's almost as if he was a pawn on the chessboard of social status.

I'd love to hear similar stories - I know they're out there...

Your bottomline is probably somewhere X months of equity, where 3.5 < X < 11. Why don't you (politely) email them that you are a reasonable person and believe it fairness. You don't expect full cliff vesting per agreement, but a 3.5 month compensation is simply not fair. Counter them something like 8 months worth of equity + expense report. Project a tone that you are reasonable and professional about it, but out of personal principle, you will fight against unfair offers.

Give them a hint (but don't say you are talking to a lawyer) that if the arrangement is unreasonable, you'll not just walk away. You'll spend the time and energy to right the wrongs. Give them hints that investors, public laundry, and/or legal means are within consideration (but don't do any of these yet) -- even at the expense of potentially not getting anything at all.

I think if the founders are serious about continuing with the startup, they'll think twice about this. What you are asking them is to just be reasonable, so they shouldn't have a problem with it. They would be far more worried about all these things you hint at (investors, public laundry, legal means).

If they counter with something -- say 6 months. Take it. Heck, if you do this correctly, you lose no karma, not even the relationship with them.

BTW the equity... probably worthless anyway. So, the other approach is to simply move on. I agree with others that this may actually be the better route, but it depends on your situation.
I don't think anyone, with good or bad social skills, should have to deal with this crap.

As a community we have to set the norm, the expectation that this just not ok. For people just entering the community, they may have different norms (coming from their fraternity - or what ever) but if the people around them set the proper example they will pick it up soon enough. Stories like this are needed to help us get there.

If they're walking up to you on the platform and you're offering them free food of their choice (within reason), why not? Whereas if they're in a good, high-traffic, spot, they might not want to give it up for the free food.

I had a guy run up to me just as I was getting on the bus to ask if I could spare fare for him too. I dug it out and handed it over and he turned around and walked off. I thought that was pretty funny, especially as the fare was a quarter.
I don't remember the exact wording of the comment that was deleted, but I did see it and I remember it making me feel very angry, despite that I wasn't even involved in the discussion. My personal belief is that Linus' response was quite classy in comparison, especially given that others in the conversation weren't stepping up to take issue with the comment.
