Your statement about privacy is already suspect since your opening comment talks about sharing that data. The two are mutually exclusive. As soon as your system is sharing, rather than me sharing I have no privacy.
Oh, boy. It drives me absolutely insane when I try to click on a footer link, scroll down, and just before I click, another batch of the infinite list shows up and pushes the footer further away. Kickstarter is guilty of this, among many others.

It's worth considering that there is some kind of political element to what this group has been doing. Perhaps if there were some viable avenues for young people across the world to meaningfully influence the political process and/or resist massive global corporations treating them as captured consumers they would be more willing and able to adopt alternative means of expression (or entertainment).
I think the general rule is not, but there exist exceptions. Foreigners (without greencards), however, are extremely difficult to hire due to export regulations (http://pmddtc.state.gov/regulations_laws/itar_official.html)

How We Scaled Pinterest From Zero Users To A $2 Billion Valuation

You do have to pay to own a portion of the company. The founders did not have to do this. The strike price is set when they give you the options. If they vest over 4 years, the strike price is decided when they are issued, before they vest. The strike price is usually set to the value of the common stock at the time of issuance, so they have a value of $0 (as far as the IRS is concerned) when they are issued.

If the company IPOs before you exercise your options, you generally won't have to provide the capital to purchase the shares, as any brokerage will be able to cover that for you (by subtracting it from the sale proceeds).

"Indeed, I could be wrong."

I might be the one who was wrong. As a programmer, this seems like a small solution that's already been solved with wufoo, contact forms 7 and the like but it's number 1 on HN so, even if the votes were faked (which was my initial suspicion), it looks like many people appreciate the product or want to discuss it.

"Particularly, non-coders."

Maybe as a programmer, my bias of how simple this solution is and how it's been "solved" by others, lead me to be even more suspicious about something like this getting this much attention.
Southwest apparently uses Row44 for in-flight WiFi. When it even works, it's absurdly slow. So slow that I'd gladly take a dial-up modem experience instead. On top of this, the company insists on slapping up a banner on the top of every webpage. If I click the "go away" button, I have to wait 30 seconds for the page to re-load. [Yes, I'm sure GreaseMonkey, etc. could rescue me] I fly on Southwest so often that I receive free WiFi, but I rarely use it. Even logging in is a multi-minute ordeal. I can't see how Row44 can generate enough revenue to justify its existence given the abysmal user experience.

Bitches.
Stock options are pretty much the norm in my experience. The usual explanation for this is taxes.

When you are granted stocked, it is taxed as income upon being granted. Since the stock is illiquid because the company is a startup, there is no way to sell it to pay the taxes, so granting stock just reduces your already meager salary.

You can usually exercise your options any time after they vest. However, most people don't and this is sometimes discouraged. If the company is sold for cash money, you may not ever formally exercise your options: the lawyers and the accountants will automatically exercise them for you, deduct the strike price from the sale price, and just deposit the net in your bank account.

Good point. Especially Twitter, which also made me think of FB.

Funny part is that I expected this (i.e. that it would be somewhat scammy and fraught with loopholes) and didn't deem it worth my while. But, now that I've filed (at my wife's request), I'm more determined. This is especially so, since they are deliberately trying to frustrate me so I won't deem it worth my while.

Even funnier is that I run a consumer-facing online business and am well aware of the pub issues from their side. We set out to treat our customers right, however, and don't have to deal with this kind of thing from earnest, reasonable customers.

Anyway, thanks again for the feedback.

I thought "self-proclaimed LulzSec leader" was an oxymoron?
I think this is particularly true if you want to ever become CEO or VP of a much larger company. How else do you prove you're fit to lead a company or division except by a start-up betting it's future on you. I don't know what the stats are but I've seen a lot of higher ups come from start-ups (in particular acquisitions) as oppose to people slowly getting promoted and climbing the corporate ladder.

To pose the same question in another way: what does Counsyl give you for $599 that companies like 23andMe don't already give you for $99? I couldn't find anything on the counsyl website that addresses this.

Edit: Actually, I think the difference might be that Counsyl is marketing to a clinical market, as opposed to 23andMe which is direct-to-consumer. Since I've read that 10x price overhead for clinical stuff is typical (from a link on HN a while ago), maybe $599 isn't too bad a price in that market for something that is $99 direct-to-consumer. Who knows?
If something can be said for Mr McConnell's methodology here, it's that he fully disclosed his assumptions, making it easy to identify the faulty one that sent his analysis hurtling 180 degrees in the wrong direction.

Why are you measuring the efficiency of energy sources in dollars, Mr McConnell? No, I don't mean to say Euros or Yen would have been better -- rather, that the reason you find yourself writing about the efficiency of energy sources in the first place is that their efficiency and availability has changed in recent decades and will change even more in decades to come, yes? Which will in turn affect how you and your readers think about your energy costs, correct? Ah.

But it will also affect how energy providers think about their energy costs, won't it? If one of those lines on your graph goes spiraling up or down, it will affect the other lines, won't it? And it won't affect them equally.

Solar panels can be as cheap as they want while oil is cheap. Will they still be cheap when oil is expensive? When the cost of transport for the many materials that go into their manufacture skyrockets?

There exists a better measure of energy efficiency than dollars per gigawatt. It's called gigawatts per gigawatt. Input-output ratio. By that measure, as everybody knows, oil kicks everything else's ass. Whereas solar power won't be even be net-positive until 2020 according to Popsci, which, adjusting for Popsci's track record on predictions, projects to around 2075-2100.

http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-04/solar-panels-n...

Yes, you read that title right. Only as of this month did new panels stop having a net-negative energy efficiency. If that's your idea of disruptive, well, I advise you to quit reheating your Domino's with hydrogen fuel cells.

Apologies for not having read the book, but is there evidence that unconscious favoritism is actually at the root of various economic and social disparities in the U.S.? How does it account for disparities amongst similarly "different" groups? Asian median income in the U.S. is higher than non-Hispanic-whites (god I hate these categories...), while Hispanic is lower.

It seems to me that the vast majority of the difference is rooted elsewhere, because you'd have to tell a pretty good "just so" story to suggest that "modern prejudice" simultaneously helped Asians and punished Hispanics.

Citation needed, as a fellow photographer. Photographing people in public places, without consent, is entirely legal in almost all developed countries.

Some countries have stricter rules regarding publishing or publicizing these images, but restrictions on photographing people in public spaces without their consent is quit rare in the developed world.

Japan[1] has some of the strictest laws re: photographing random people, and even that is very much liability-based after the fact rather than a ban.

If your definition of 'pay out' is 'deliver cash compensation at or beyond market rate with very high probability and consistency over a period of years' then yes, most definitely, working at an early stage startup is a poor choice.

When you step back, this is really inescapable: large, established companies are more stable and predictable than small, unproven companies. Accordingly, the forces of the market will provide the large/established companies with greater compensatory resources in exchange for that confidence and predictability (some way or another, we are all willing to pay extra for a guarantee, or as close to a guarantee as the market allows). There are exceptions, of course... but the general pattern is clear.

But indirectly, you raise an important point: many early stage employees (especially 'kids') do not fully understand how equity or funding works ... and they end up believing in the false idol of their basis points and wasting many years of their lives.

I've never met anyone working as early stage employee who had a get-rich-on-liquidation mindset and did not end up burnt out or extremely frustrated in the long run (my own experience very much included). To survive (even /enjoy/) early stage, you must build a personal satisfaction model that's more than just cash (learning? networking? friends? intellectual stimulation? fun?). It's very possible, but it's a huge shift in perspective if you're coming from a golden-handcuffing big tech co...

There absolutely a way for people of all ages across the world to meaningfully influence the political process.

They could make a meaningful difference by forming an organization that collected names of interested parties and kept them informed of news and action events. Imagine how powerful a lobbying group you could be if you had hundreds of thousands of people on a mailing list who would be influenced by your recommendation on a vote.

I'm president of a non-profit and we've made meaningful changes in our city by organizing to influence our elected officials.

That's just one example but there are many others that a dedicated group of individuals can influence the system and counter special interest groups beyond their own single vote.
> That is far and away the most pedantic form of the efficient market hypothesis I've ever heard. No one in academia or the industry actually believes that everyone always has access to the exact same information at the exact same time.

Are you trolling? The efficient market hypothesis is a hypothesis, and it's based on the premise that everyone has the same information. Which word didn't you understand?

No one knows whether the EMH is either valid or that it in any way underlies the behavior of the real market. It's ... wait for it ... a hypothesis.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficient-market_hypothesis

Quote: "In finance, the efficient-market hypothesis (EMH) asserts that financial markets are "informationally efficient". In consequence of this, one cannot consistently achieve returns in excess of average market returns on a risk-adjusted basis, given the information available at the time the investment is made."

After reading the above, has it escaped your attention that the EMH, as defined, assumes that everyone has the same information? Common knowledge is a working hypothesis, just like the EMH itself.

> ... your central premise was that the modern equities market was not stable and was not to the benefit of an "average investor".

Only when private information informs trades, and I made this perfectly clear. This is why the SEC rigorously prosecutes inside traders, because it's true -- when private information informs trades, the market isn't fair.

> None of this was proven by today's event and was in fact largely disproven.

Nonsense. The market fell based on a lie -- on private information. This proves that information must be both shared and public for the market to work as it should.

> Stability was not jeopardized ...

The market commenced to plummet based on false information. The only reason it didn't melt down entirely is because those who knew it was a lie, very quickly said so. Exactly which part of that fact do you find to be mysterious?

> 2 pieces of public information were consumed nearly as fast as they could be produced and the correct prices in the market were reflected.

Nonsense, and you are trolling. Your position is that the lie about an attack caused the market to react appropriately. But the market's move was based on false information, therefore it was not a "correct price" -- someone was gaming the system, and whether or not it was for private gain is irrelevant.

> ... and the average investor was not impacted by what could have been a malicious attempt to game the system ...

False. average investors, and all straight players, and "impacted" by insider trading -- it represents a threat to public confidence in the market. That's why the SEC prosecutes inside traders, throws them in jail.

Exactly which part of this everyday reality is causing you the most confusion?

The market can be manipulated by inside traders and people who put out misleading or false information for private gain. The SEC does all it can to address this very real threat to public confidence in the essential fairness of the market.

This is the company's problem. Seriously. At places like Dupont and Merck it was mandatory for a scientist in R&D to work on projects of their own choosing and publish. The research was part of your evaluation, and if you didn't measure up you were out. I believe at least Dupont still uses this model.

They also get a nice job at google and probably relocation to somewhere warmer.
Early stage startups are also more willing to overlook weak resumes. A company with tens of thousands of applicants can afford to throw away good candidates with bad resumes because they have loads more good candidates with good resumes. An early stage startup might have three applicants, and if the only one who can program didn't finish college and has never had a job, well, beggars can't be choosers.
I've never understood the subtle negative attitude towards the fact that founders get most of the equity. It's like everything else in the world from investing to gambling (some would say they're the same). The higher the risk, the higher the reward. If you're getting a salary you simply aren't taking that much risk.

This isn't to say early employees shouldn't be compensated fairly, they should. But you can't just be in it for the money. Being an early-stage employee is great for your personal development and puts you on a fast track to a C-level position should the company survive. You simply won't get that at BigCo.
You guys were YC11 and nobody suggested that you read The Four Steps to the Epiphany??? Seriously, half the readers of HN could tell you that you don't do a big PR launch before establishing product/market fit. Are you trying to be Webvan 2.0?

Sorry, don't mean to sound harsh, but that just seems so weird to think that anybody would make that mistake in this day and age. This lesson has been learned and shared and reshared and written about and blogged about and discussed to death.

Nonetheless, you guys did a lot of hard work and it sucks to have things not go well. Sorry to hear, and I hope things improve down the road.

Edit: Sorry of this came off as overly harsh. I'm not trying to be mean-spirited here. I'm just a little surprised by the details of the story, given the context. And I don't mean to suggest that I'm better than anybody or know better, etc. I'm just some nobody who haven't proven anything yet, so feel free to ignore me.

Secondly its expressed intent is to take away functionality; I'm not aware of any other instance where a web API is created to disable features of a user's computer. I'm sure we can rattle off more ways that it is different, but I'm not sure what you're looking for here.
