Heh, tell me about it.

Then again, I suppose it depends on your philosophy regarding women. Are they there to serve you or should they be prioritizing their career over you?

As much as I love startups, technology, and therefore, my career, I always put my relationships with people before my career. I know that I'll always have money in the bank, and my emotional state of well-being is very important to me.

While I believe that there's a nice balance between focusing on her career and making time for me, I do expect the same courtesy.

If not, "there are always plenty of fish in the sea." No hard feelings. We're all entitled to our own beliefs.

I'd love to see a form of official "Ask YC" category, with a subcategory of "Review my App" -- make it so it requires n karma to post to [to prevent spam] and then we can easily see what all hackers are upto.

really useful post.

Can we add "seedcamp" to the Incubators?

Their definition of career women is overly simplistic and seems to only focus on alpha types that are hell-bent on their jobs and on outearning their husbands. Who'd want to be with someone like that, of either gender?

My definition is a bit different - my wife loves her career as a nurse and can see herself loving the field of reproductive health forever. As a result, she's pretty grounded and we balance each other out well.
Numbers make sense, causes aren't really looked at. People with social / financial mobility are more likely to get out of situations they're not happy with and be less satisfied with mediocrity.

I can't survive more than a few months in a relationship with somebody who's not a workaholic.
Without a government, fractional reserve banking would still happen, and people would put their money in banks that had good reputations.

This is true, but fractional reserve banking is inherently unstable: bank runs happen, and will happen (eventually) to any bank without government guarantees.
Even that is insane!!

This news, like all news about relative percentages of marriages which end badly, is of intense interest to anyone here who intends to marry a simple random sampling of women.

I once knew a guy who considers himself a bit of a hopeless romantic. One of our friends, who is not, started a sentence with "The average woman who". Friend #1 broke in: "Stop right there. I have no intention of dating the average woman."
If you're worried about your spouses career 'coming between you' then I think you have other issues.

To single out 'career women' as the ones to avoid is simply stupid, some of the best marriages I've seen are the ones between two career people.

If your spouse leaves you for someone else they met 'on the job' that's only because your relationship has been found wanting, if you think tying someone to the couch is going to make them stay you're simply wrong.

Statistically the chance of them staying may be larger, but that's a shitty way of saying 'if there is no competition I can win'. Better get your act together then.

And beware of that neighbor...

Women have been on the receiving end of their men 'trading up' for years, the equality game has its downsides, but this isn't one of them. Keep in shape, keep your woman happy and I doubt you've got much to worry about, career or not.

If you're a slob, that's a different thing of course.
These people are talking about having lots of friends that could get a job anywhere (as in, they're unbelievably awesome). I wish I had a ton of friends like that. Either their standards are lower, or this is the fundamental thing about SV that I miss.

More than that, even... I am an arrogant prick, when it comes down to it. I need to be able to respect my significant other. If she's not an intelligent, driven woman who goes out to get what she wants, then how can I respect her? If I don't respect her, it is bound to show eventually.

If I recall correctly, in Blink Malcolm Gladwell mentioned that one of the biggest predictors of divorce likelihood, for both sexes, was if one mate felt superior (in a dismissive way) to the other. I imagine that would have an even greater effect on a marriage than any of the statistics mentioned in this article.
My impression has always been that Google has a "systemic hiring problem", as well as some deep organizational problems that make it very hard to get true productivity out of their workforce. 18 hour days are the last resort of bad managers. Then you get to the "The beatings will continue until morale improves!" phase, which sounds like where they're at now.

The original Goog model just wasn't scalable, and now they have to completely re-engineer the company. It won't be easy.
Is it me or the sole idea of Twitter killing Google sounds incredibly ridiculous?

Good programmers aren’t lazy
I've noticed it's pretty typical for the engineering and science guys I've gone to school with or worked with to marry nurses, physical therapists, religious educators, or HR gals. Think fem careers that are in demand wherever the two of you might live. And these marriages seem to last.
I have no clue but I have seen the same happen to other otherwise very sensible comments. It seems that the up/down voting system is too complicated for some people to use properly ;)
Your math is a little beyond my level:

If I had decided to attend University of Chicago instead of University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, I would have paid $15k less per year. Urbana's tuition is ~$25k per year and Chicago's is $50k.

So you paid ~$25k per year, and if you had gone to UC you would have paid $50k per year? How is that $15k per year less?
what are you monitoring?
The data itself seems pretty objective...
You may joke about it, but these aren't a joking matter. The ultimate function of the HR department is to prevent management from being sued. If an employee who has been around for a few years and has a good history is suddenly put on such a plan it means some manager has decided that they simply don't like them. It's turning the resources of the organization into a mechanism for bullying an individual. Never, ever sign one, and start researching the law around unfair dismissal.
Interesting line about "every other traditional language is trending downward". I don't really consider c# a traditional language, and other non-traditional languages such as ruby, python are also flat (as compared to not dropping).
Well duh. I wasn't worried anyone took that little fad seriously.

I think this is a bit American-centric. At least in former communist Eastern-Europe (my place) all women work more then 35 hours - or about as much as men. Young children are looked after by a combination of maternity leave, grandparents and kindergardens. How is in your country?
Once I read a book on compilers, can't recollect the name, that quoted Niklaus Wirth. Basically, he said that the hardest part in designing a language is to decide on what is to be left out. That idea and Hoare's reflection, seem to confirm the hypotheses that most woes in human endeavor seem to stem from gratuitous - often in hindsight, omission or commission to something.
Yes, in addition to these points live no-obligation demo is very important. Unless you really have no competition... But that's hardly ever a case.
It's ironic, but the US Federal Government might have a harder time maintaining prohibition inside the US then out. Many countries that are clear losers from prohibition or those that have really decided against it have had a hard time getting out of international agreements to maintain the laws. The US' zeal is the greater part of the reason for why these are so enforceable & why most decriminalisation decisions in Europe have mostly been cheats of some kind.
The app looks quite nice (and useful). I'd install it instantly if it was free. But it's not. So I guess I'll just settle for my usual online access. I'm almost always near computer so it's not that crucial for me to have it on my iPhone.
But for people on the ago and in need of total control - this can come in handy.
I'm not sure why a woman (or man) who chooses to be a housewife/husband would not be someone intelligent, driven, and getting what he/she wants. Raising children is an incredibly difficult task worthy of a lot of respect. I don't know when the idea developed that spouses who stay at home are somehow necessarily lazy or stupid.
I was going to disagree with this article until I actually took the time to read it.

Sapir-Whorf says that the words we have available to us (and choose to use) influence the way we think. Perhaps "Good programmers are lazy" is, in that respect, using the wrong word. Perhaps it encourages the wrong habits of thought, and a better choice of words would have a beneficial effect.

Then again, perhaps the problem is due to the incompleteness of the quote. It's not laziness in isolation that works, but "laziness, impatience, and hubris", quoting Larry Wall.

An arrogant programmer would not copy and paste the same function 40 times - it would hurt his sense of self-worth. Perhaps what works is the three "qualities" together, rather than in isolation.
Actually, in my experience with a PIP, it doesn't threaten you'll be fired today.

It's emotional blackmail. I was told, in black and white, that I sucked and I was holding everyone back. For anyone with any self-doubt or need for social approval, a statement like that will feel like a ton of bricks. But then they offer a path to redemption: sign a document, then complete these tasks, and all will be well again. Since I have a programmer's ego I feel I can code my way out of any situation. So I signed.

And I did so knowing full well that I was doing something against my interests. But oddly, at the time, that didn't matter as much to me as redeeming myself in other people's eyes.

If this ever happens to you, the thing to recognize is that at that moment, the company is no longer your friend (if it ever was) and from now on, every dealing with you is probably going to be backhanded. Loyalty and pride in accomplishment are suddenly bad traits for you to indulge in.

The best option may be to sign and slack off while you job-hunt. Or, if you are quick to realize that there is no way out, to offer to go away, in exchange for a decent amount of severance.

Either way, I was foolish to sign without getting a lawyer to examine the document first.

I didn't imply that housewives can't have those qualities. However, until they get married and settle down, I imagine you're more likely to find this kind of woman in a productive career than sitting at home waiting for prince charming to come along.
Yahoo Should Buy Microsoft
Laziness is different for different folks. It's like using VIM - just a question of intelligence. If you are relatively smart, you can quickly come up with a complex VIM command sequence to do what you need. Otherwise, you copy and paste for 5 minutes, because that's quicker (or at least you think it's quicker, which is even worse).

Same with programming - if you are a good programmer, it's quicker for you to invent and refactor then to copy and paste, so you do that. Only in that case is laziness good.
I don't know. Perhaps someone else here has experience with that?

Another tactic to get rid of people is to simply take away all their important work. They aren't advancing in the company, and they are losing status in the team. Many people will just quit, or make a lateral move to some other team. The latter option might have been open to me.
Ten Gmail Labs Features You Should Enable
What total nonsense. MSN is losing money, sure. But the combined power of MSN and MSNBC give microsoft mindshare that you could only dream of if you had to go and buy advertising to get the same effect.

Last I checked it was Microsoft looking to buy Yahoo, not the other way around. Between MSN and live.com they have traffic galore, and it would certainly help to solidify microsofts position on the internet.

Especially given that long term they will have to go head to head with Google, every little bit will help then. The blatant anti-trust violations that Microsoft practiced in the past will no longer be tolerated, and the opponent is actually 'qualified' this time, and has a very solid business model.
Although I agree with you, the problem in keeping identity small is that you become a low profile. In this such society this not always represents a good thing.

More on the Meta-data Menagerie
Most men who marry subservient housewives are unhappy and gradually lose interest in their marriage partners as social and intellectual atrophy set in. On the other hand, anyone who marries a "career" person in the traditional corporate sense is signing up for misery.

Ascendancy in a corporate management hierarchy requires a martyred family. You're expected to spend long days at the office, attend and throw parties where no one has a good time, neglect your children, and relinquish all control over where you live, moving across the country if the company asks for it. No man with enough means to be self-sufficient wants to marry this type of "career woman". On the other hand, I can't imagine that a woman who has other options would marry this type of man either. This is why "alpha" investment bankers tend to marry women significantly below them in education and intelligence.

Also, what I said about social and intellectual atrophy for subservient housewives also applies equally to those who are trying to climb corporate ladders, as their social and intellectual lives end up being restricted entirely to their work. Subordinate status-- whether one is a corporate VP or a subservient housewife/househusband-- rots the brain.

Best is to marry a woman who has a creative, independent and satisfying career that allows her to work anywhere in the country, and that pays her enough that she is self-sufficient.
Ask HN: Would you trust a .me domain?
Hi all,

I'm thinking of launching my new startup idea on a .me domain name - I already have the .com and .co.uk version (I'm in the UK) but think the domain would sound snazzier with a .me domain.

That said, I'm concerned that with .me being a relatively new domain people will struggle to remember it or type it wrong or just plain not trust it because it's not a 'mainstream' extension...

What do you think? Should I risk it?

Thanks

It's certainly possible for a housewife/husband to keep intellectually and socially active, but in practice, it seems to be fairly rare, especially considering the low incomes that single-earner couples tend to have, and the constraints that this lack of means will place on social functionality. When there's a single earner making a lot of money, then income's not a problem, but the working partner tends to be in a "martyr your family" job, so the non-working partner tends to become a supporting actor in the other's career.

There's a reason people of both genders are very averse to this lifestyle. It's possible to be a housewife or househusband and not rot away, but it's difficult and fairly uncommon in practice.

I don't think that being a subservient housewife is more damaging than the median, braindead cubicle job. They're both pretty awful options, and the subordination that follows from either situation is going to lead to lethargy and atrophy. But most of us are going to be marrying people with better career options than the uninspiring, dead-end cube job.
Use the RSS feeds. Hack away.
Is mathematics the language of the universe?
It didn't stop del.icio.us. If you build it, they will come.
I think it would depend greatly on the kind of service you are going to offer.

If you mean 'trust' to stand for 'comercially trust' then I think the answer is no, simply because it is different. We started out as a .nl but within days it was clear that if we were to have any sales at all it had better be a .com, or people simply aren't going to pull their credit cards.

If you mean 'trust' to stand for 'are they going to put their data in to your site' then I think that that effect will be a lot less, and once you've built up a user base it will fade. del.icio.us is a nice example (even if it does still have the .us in there, and they eventually changed over to delicious.com).

Personally, for any commercial website I'd use nothing but a .com, unless it was targeted to a specific geographic location, then I'd use the domain for that country instead.

Again, confusion is the result of describing two different things with the same word:

1. Desiring efficiency, so one can achieve more with less effort.

2. Not wanting to think very hard, and putting off difficult decisions.

This article argues that programmers aren't number 2. I'd agree. Others argue that programmers are number 1. I'd agree. There's no conflict here, just confusion!
Architecture if often seen to be a type of user interface design with a high engineering component, rather than an artform. Yet few would refer to architects (even those with limited creativity) as people with amateur knowledge of design.
yes. but the URL is actually the name in that case - so it is a "flash" feature. :)

myapp.me.uk does not, quite, have the same draw.

To the OP I'd say if you already run it from a .com domain adding .me.uk cant hurt!

If the .me adds to the name (say, for example, find.me.uk) then 100% go for it :D

Trust is a funny thing: if your userbase is hardened hackers like the HN lot then you might end up (at least initially) with a trust issue - but the general public aren't going to care that much.

Though you do raise a good point about people being confused: but if you own .com and .co.uk variants then I doubt it will account for much loss of traffic :D
