A script to send an sms text message while you’re idle on Adium for Mac OS 
I got tired of missing chats directed to me when I went AFK, even if just for a little while. Since I always have my phone I thought an SMS would do the trick. I did some research and put together these scripts.
All of this advice is great except "Hawaii" which is merely good advice.

There are much cheaper beach towns with unbelievable weather that aren't so isolated. Hawaii is particularly nice for US residents without a Passport, but you should get a passport!

I recently did something very similar, though I was at several beaches and in a couple mountain ranges. There is a sort of inverse relationship between adventure and monetary cost with regard to what your options are and you have a lot of choices.

Hawaii is relatively low on the adventure and high on the cost; while something like Nosara, Costa Rica is a bit more of an adventure, and a bit cheaper while things like the language barrier still won't be distracting from getting work done.
i thought this is what MS could do better and a good chance for them. But they are doing Apple's doing, how can they compete with iPad then?

Dropping IE support: a followup from Paydirt
The 10 Startups At AngelPad’s Spring 2012 Demo Day
I have a bunch of complaints about Campfire that I wonder if are solved in hip chat (or another service)

-- Noise in the logs such as join/leave notifications. This makes reading old logs a pain in the ass
-- Pull activity, by which I mean sending messages in campfire, but having them catch the attention of the person who isn't around. Something like @username notifications that let the user know you've mentioned them. Allow them to reply to the notification email, but have it appear in the chat window.
-- Ability to clean up logs and match noise conversation as hidden by default so it's easier for people to go back and read over the logs.

1:1 chats sounds great, especially if they send notifications to the person when they aren't around.
You made a mistake. "Could bare" - I think you mean "barely".

Also: You forgot a space after the comma every time you use one.

So what where you saying about his article mistakes again? :)
So Be Life: Getting Knocked Down...
The beauty of the Internet is low barrier of entry for startups with potential. If .secure becomes popular among big guys, startups with similar features will be disadvantaged.

The complicated paperwork will not only drive phishers and scammers away. It also excludes people with little capital but a genuine intent to do business. We already have these barriers:

- Extended Validation SSL

- Merchant Account (including PCI compliance)

- All kinds of trust seals

The cost of these products can be several thousands of dollars every year and they have become pretty much a must-have for anyone who wants to be trusted more easily.

.secure will just impose another barrier, unfortunately.
Good points by ChuckMcM.

I second the need to bring warm clothes, be prepared to dress in layers. If you're in Palo Alto most of the time it'll be 10-15+ degrees warmer (Fahrenheit) than SF so bring a mix of cool & warm clothes but again yes be prepared for cold evenings in SF.

Regarding transport between SF to Palo Alto, while it is easily accessible there are two things you need to consider. 1) Commute time: the commute between SF to Palo Alto is at least 35-45 minutes by car, commuting via CalTrain will be slightly longer 50-60 minutes. 2) Where you will live and work: 50-70 minutes assumes you live near the Caltrain station in SF and work near the Caltrain stop in Palo Alto, otherwise your commute can easily be 60-90 minutes one way. If you plan to be working 10-14hours days in Palo Alto you may reconsidering living in SF during this short stint.

Regarding managing money, not sure how long you will be here if it's just two months or so. Something I usually do when traveling, is use a credit card for most purchases. Then I withdraw cash from my bank account one or however many times needed but max the daily withdrawal limit each time to minimize fees as much as possible. You should quickly research which credit cards in the UK do not charge international transaction fees. Capital One does not charge international transaction fees.
Hey Eric, your site is awesome. I love how easy it is to play music. I had some thoughts from a UX perspective of things I didn't like about it.

Dislike: There’s no sign up, only a Login with Facebook button (which is annoying personally because I don’t like logging in with Facebook http://screencast.com/t/hsKqMkyuR.)

There’s a bunch of white space to the right hand side of the page (http://screencast.com/t/2swhK5EPb2i), which makes the page unsymmetrical and doesn’t feel right.

I don’t like how most of the things on the page don’t have any description beyond an icon. I know most frequent internet users can probably figure it out, but it still requires me to think for a second to make the associations (http://screencast.com/t/6E2ydk3kh) and some older users and perhaps not as savvy internet users may not understand it at all (albeit the site might not be aimed towards them.)

I know this site is for people who like Essential Mixes, but I have no idea what a collection, Essential Mix collection or FACT collection is. Adding a description could add an unnecessary element while removing a confusing aspect, so its up to you to make the choice. I think a description can be made (without hurting user experience) by adding a disposable box next to the collections briefly explaining what they are.

Some specific aspects of the design I don't like (misalignment, pixels off center, etc.): http://screencast.com/t/1Tg9Fo75xo3

Hope you don't take my thoughts negatively, just trying to help. Overall I like the site, its is simple and has no truly unnecessary elements, that’s good. Also, I like this touch http://screencast.com/t/oWFv5kkU2), adds to the user experience. And I like how easy it is to play songs (just click and it starts playing http://screencast.com/t/MwkkU8musZ).
I bet you can get a cheaper ticket to Puerto Rico and take advantage of all the tax exceptions for startups. No passport needed if you are a US citizen.
Think critically for a moment about how it came to be that you were able to parrot the talking point about the percentage of unemployed youth in France but are seemingly unaware that employers are free to fire new workers during multi-month trial/probation periods or why the living standard of the one-fifth of French youth who are unemployed at any given moment is higher than that enjoyed by fully-employed people in the same age group in developed countries where employees have far weaker protections.

It's sad that it's so easy for the proverbial one percenters to get everyone else, who should know better, on board with their agenda.

Rather than copy and paste, I refer you to:

The bonus was a legally binding contract. As long as statute of limitations has not passed, then the company is obligated to compensate according to contract. I guess you could wait 10 years, but if the company is no longer around, you probably wouldn't be able to get that 10k anymore.

If a company forgot to pay you your last paycheck after you left the company, would it still be wrong to ask for that paycheck a year later? That "bonus" was part of the compensation package, and would be no different than a paycheck lost in the mail.
It's interesting you say this. I've been experimenting with/without suits, on and off at my current place of work (an investment bank front office). What I've noticed is this:

1) If you're careful, you can get away with wearing jeans and trainers (I often wear black 501s with nike low nike cross trainers, and various casual shirts - no one really notices/cares, especially if you're in software).

2) Suits and neat shirt/trousers tend to be the "default" and perhaps signal safety/predictability more than commanding respect (which doesn't make sense since everyone wears suits around here, and everyone doesn't command everyone, so it's a shallow heuristic to use when making quick calls on people - I know some dumb people who wear suits, and smart ones who don't).

3) I've incidentally worn very casual stuff (jeans, no suit) for interviews and then actually worn suit/tie/etc on the job later, i.e. more out of curiosity/wanting to, than obedience. I do think in some ways they can be nicer to wear. If you go more into studying design concepts, you start seeing some good elements in play within the standard template of what constitutes a suit (shirt, blazer, tie, boots, cufflinks, etc). Is there a better alternative? Not sure - I loved Steve Job's outfit too, though.

Imagine the Barrack Obama whitehouse photo with him in a hoodie. It wouldn't be unthinkable for him to do this, but I'm not sure it would communicate the right message to the general public (again, perhaps it's about projecting the idea of safety, stability, predictability, etc). In that sense, suits are a good communication facilitator.

A lot of jackasses wear suits, sure, but a lot of jackasses use iPhones, for example too. It doesn't mean they're a bad thing. The bigger problem perhaps with wearing a suit is that there are so many people wearing them now, many of them doing it because other people do it, rather than because they have some pure conviction to do so, that it has become a "red ocean" strategy, which naturally goes against the flow of innovation.

As a YC founder of a venture backed company that lives in Hawaii now... Like everything in life, it's all a balance. My quality of life in Hawaii is hard to beat. My tech scene is hard to find. Which is why I come back to SF & NYC almost monthly. The travel is a bit of a pain, but I feel like I'm living a close to perfect balance.

It helps that I'm from Hawaii, so I'm not in "vacation" mode... I'm in "home" mode. Where I feel relaxed, comfortable, inspired & supported. From that place is where I run the chaos of a startup.
I wholehearted agree, but..

I'm pretty sure this would last about five seconds in front of a judge

This whole issue would probably cost 50k just to get in front of a judge.

What is the difference between "subsidized by the government" and "paid for from taxes"? Maybe you could draw a distinction if a specific segment of taxes went to healthcare and nothing else, but that seems a thin semantic distinction at best.

The flaw in this argument is that it assumes rremoncake was solely responsible for the decision to not back up prod. I think that responsibility falls on the CTO/CEO, and so yeah, Miso is a bad company for that, and that whole incident should have no relevance to the bonus debacle.

I agree, the rest of the world is dying for these new products being created in SV, however they're being bought up and rolled up or snuffed out before the rest of the world really experiences them. This is especially true for the hyper local products that only service major metropolitan areas and some of the more "techier" social mobile products. Of course, I understand the rate of adoption in more rural areas doesn't fit the bing bang boom business model, but there is a crap ton of money to be made in the long haul.

I think the bigger issue here has to be how much one has to get screwed before they actually come out and tell their tale. I had a former boss and coworker who were sleeping together and to this day the backlash i got for reporting it internally absolutely blows my mind, I can't imagine if I had told people externally as well. While I was right and both people admitted it, it involved months of stress and lies before everyone realized i was right and they should stop being dicks to me. Of course, the two in question have never had to face an ounce of blame while the person who correctly pointed out they were breaking rules got punished badly.

Just remember that the revisionist history will always go on unless you're on the best of terms with the founders always. The fact that my old boss had been there longer than me simply made his he said more powerful than my he said. It is incredibly discouraging how sketchy this industry is becoming, and I hope more people speak out in situations like these before it is too late.

On the flip side, Hawaii is basically wired for fiber and is the connection point for a large number of transpacific fiber runs.

That said, I've lived in Hawaii. Island time is real. When surrounded by a bunch of people who all stop working at 3 pm and constantly have parties, you stop getting stuff done.

Also, I missed people to talk to about books, politics or even culture.
That certainly makes sense, and I can't blame the author for spending time on them. I just wish it was a tad bit clearer that this was the direction the book was taking; its cover and marketing material focus on small startups.
I would argue that it is the employee, and not the employer, that is searching for a semantic or legal way to breach an agreement. The agreement was that employees (not ex-employees) are eligible for referral bonuses. He failed to settle this issue during his time as an employee, and is now searching for a semantic or legal method to do so as an ex-employee.
"I'm not saying the employer is completely in the right here but honestly I think they're more right than he is and certainly come out of this looking better than he does."

This HAS to be the employer. I cannot imagine how someone can seriously think this. As a recruiter I have awarded bonuses to employees at 3 different companies and no one ever had to fill out a form, it was just a matter of if we paid him or not.

Microsoft Antitrust Finding Specific to Windows on Intel?
I'm in a bit of a similar situation. My last company didn't have any form of corporate credit, so I purchased everything on my own card and submitted the expenses to be reimbursed.

Fast forward to November. I purchased over 8k worth of computers, phones, and software for new hires. I get my reimbursement check in Janurary. Most of their amazon stuff running was on my amazon account, and I ended up paying for their Microsoft assurance license costs out of my own pocket with the promise that I would be reimbursed.

I left in early April.

Guess who's still using his twilio API key for their SMS notifications? Guess who hasn't migrated their stuff off of his amazon key? Guess who hasn't paid him for his last expenses, and who held my last paycheck for an extra two weeks?

It's someone that is getting ready to get a first round of fifteen million valuation -- and I'm hopeful that when they fund, I start to see some of the money, but I'm not holding my breath...

Hell, I've sent them emails asking to have them remove their services from my accounts; even providing detailed instructions on how to do so. I am afraid of turning them off because I do not want to be accused of disrupting their services -- which would be a death blow to my career -- and emails sent to the CTO and VP of engineering go into the ether.

Bonus: the two attorneys I talked to wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole.

Oh, you mean effectively? Uh...

Back in the day, someone printed up a T-shirt that had a 4-line Perl script that did RSA and so was a munition. (Later reduced to 3 lines.) There was a barcode that contained the bits for the script, which you could use to automatically read the program into a properly configured computer, so the T-Shirt was indeed a munition under those regulations.

I agree that there is a difference, but I'm not sure that the courts do. Consider what Adobe's interpretation would be if someone was merely linking to a torrent of their software, rather than directly publishing it. Then consider that in this case their negligence yields them financial gain.

I don't know what the legal standard is in this case --- my question is genuine. But I do know that I consider Adobe's stance reprehensible, and as an affected party I would willing to be the lead plaintiff in a class action suit if a qualified attorney would like to take this on.

My guess is this will negatively effect them more than it effects him. He's not badmouthing the company as a whole, he's badmouthing them reneging on a specific deal they made with him. They essentially earned $10K at the cost of advertising to devs that they are the kind of employer that will weasel out of a deals they make. Is saving that $10K worth that change to their reputation? Probably not.
