"If I had a family..."

This is sad. Stallman is one of my favorite people (among people I've never met), and everyone deserves a family of some sort. Not necessarily kids, but simply a small group of people who he loves, who love him back, and who would spend his free time with him.

The lack of low skilled jobs in the US is primarily a combination of zero import taxes with China etc and a minimum wage. We still want all those tshits and painted plastic toys that used to be low skilled laber in the US we just don't use people in the US to make them.

The "app" is just a bit of jquery that hides/shows divs based on their classes. It skips a refresh if the filter is empty ( to avoid creating an invalid jquery selector?), so if you set "View Partials" to "Yes" and then "No", nothing changes. Anyways, I just forked it and fixed it.

This is a simple little app, but it's a good example of how using the DOM as a model and a view (as most jquery apps do) doesn't create the most elegant code.

Look, that sounds nice and all, but it just isn't true. Some people are smarter than others. This should be an incredibly uncontroversial claim. Also, textbook ad hominem at the end there.

The fact that you believe a persons "height" dictates their chance of competing in the NBA really shows how little regard you have for people.

We need someone brave enough to take on huge, meaty product initiatives, but also humble enough to get dirty with the grunt work. If it matters to you, we're using things like Python, Django, AngularJS, CoffeeScript, LESS, Redis, and Heroku.

Salary: $80-120k

Equity: 0.25-1.25%

Perks: Lots of food! (Among other things)

Is that really what he means though? Most people use the word "breakfast" to refer to the first meal of the day (or lack thereof) eaten within a few hours of waking up.

Also the type of food. If you sleep in on a Saturday until noon, you'll probably tend to want breakfast food when you first wake up.

The time of day is far behind those two factors for what constitutes breakfast in popular usage.
How? This always confused me. That's approaching the poverty line here in the U.S.

For example: a standard McDonald's employee makes roughly $24,000 per year. This requires no education and just about anyone can do the work. It's also considered one of the lowest level jobs a person can get. I'm not degrading those people I'm just speaking on the status quo.

Now take a look at a manager at McDonalds. They're approaching almost $40,000 per year. You're telling me that you make less than a McDonalds manager? A job which requires no education, and arguably no real skill beyond what's taught at work?

This is absolutely insane to me that the pay is so low. How do you afford to eat? How do you afford health insurance or a car or rent? I know when I was working for $15 an hour ($28,800 per year) I had a hard time just paying the bills. The rent was always late and I had to drop my health insurance for a couple years.

What happens when the automation of the robot servicing fails? Do you have servicing of the servicing of the robots? Seems like a massive clusterfudge if you ask me.

There is a difference between automation and people losing jobs on a large scale. I'm not talking about automation making the life of a manual worker easier like it was during the 50's, I'm talking about people being replaced completely by robots. Even a lot of car production lines which were the first to embrace machine automation still employ manual workers to operate some of the equipment and ensure any downtime is minimal.

Even those self service kiosks at supermarkets require staff standing around because they fail often and people struggle to use them and prefer going through an actual register and being served. Those self-serve registers drive me nuts when it incorrectly weighs your groceries and tells you to wait for assistance.
> Ultimately, it is the parent's socio-economic status which usually dictates what jobs their children will have.

That's not an agreed upon fact.

For example, a cursory googling of "correlation between iq and job" brings up a lot of articles with language like "This is why hundreds of studies have found that IQ predicts job performance best (though not all that well) at the start of a person’s career, and progressively weakens over the course of that career."[1] or subtitles like "Intelligence wins out over socio-economic status when it comes to career advancement"[2]. (But maybe that search term is biased. I just entered the most obvious thing.)

As another example, wikipedia says "The validity of IQ as a predictor of job performance is above zero for all work studied to date, but varies with the type of job and across different studies, ranging from 0.2 to 0.6. The correlations were higher when the unreliability of measurement methods was controlled for."[3]

> really shows how little regard you have for people.

Inappropriate.

That's horrible. I feel for the family.
Well, yes, but the individual GNU tools are to a large degree independent. I'm not an insider, but to me it seemed that the kernel development effort really pushed the limits in the area of distributed development of a single large code base. (I'm not sure, though, how exactly did the kernel code base measure with the contemporary GCC code base, which is probably the closest in complexity from all the GNU stuff.)
Most of the YC companies seem to be favoring "large seed" rounds, which are at levels that might have, in recent years, been more appropriate for A rounds. The $6mil seeds, and such. That probably leaves them in a position of: a) not a lot of equity left to spread around b) it's a seed round, so there's little to no revenue coming in yet, which means they want to hold onto as much of that cash as possible. Depending on how the deal was done with investors, they may have such a small options pool that you're never going to get the 1% you want, and yet they also are not going to pay the $100k+ you are worth. What they are offering you is the "prestige" of working for a YC company, and it's your call if you think that has future value for you or not.

Now if you get hired by one of these and they make it for a few more years, and you stick around, your salary will likely go up significantly and additional options be granted (though you'll probably need to make an effort to ask), but I wouldn't count on getting life changing equity out of any startup if you're joining after they've raised 7 figures or more.
Indeed, Senior Dutch Perl programmers have left the company as they couldn't take this exploitation any more. The aim of the company management is to get developers from other countries who are unaware/ignorant of this dog treatment. They are trying very hard to stop their bad reputation from spreading but as you mentioned the developer community is closely knit and it doesn't take long for the word to spread.

What is sad though is Ovid-who is a reputable member of the Perl community, still recruits for them despite having worked for Booking and got burnt out for exactly those reasons that the blog talks about.

Perhaps a nit, but he didn't "write" any version of EMACS to my knowledge, just improved existing versions of them, in the two cases I'm most familiar with, making a significant qualitative difference.

Guy Steele provided the start of the first (in that there were 3 or so visual TECO systems, each with its own key bindings etc., and he got enough people to agree on one), and RMS took off with it and made it into much of what makes EMACS good (minus normal users writing code, since that version was in TECO). I'm sure he contributed to the the Lisp Machine's EMACS, but Dan Weinreb was the major author of its two initial versions (EINE Is Not EMACS, ZWEI Was Eine Initially).

The current EMACS we use was written by an obscure guy at CMI who included a bytecode compiler in it, you might have heard of him, James Gosling ^_^. RMS illicitly started with a copy of this, the rights holders, UniPress, which ran as much as possible then on the "gated community open source" business model, including EMACS, were savvy enough not to try to do anything about this (heck, even in the face of some pretty vicious stuff from RMS, up to and including an face to face accusation that they set his house on fire (it was a couple of kids with matches and ... kerosene as I recall); we did name our Laserprinter "Software Hoarder" :-).

Don't know about gdb, but he does to my knowledge get full credit for starting gcc, the GNU project and of course the GPL, essentially the modern FOSS movement, and it's hard to overstate the value of that.

Disclaimers: acquaintance/sort of friends for a while ... until I went to work for UniPress, I worked for Lisp Machines Inc. (LMI) at a time when he was pretty much the only guy working on the MIT/LMI fork and keeping it fairly close to feature complete with Symbolics, and we were roommates for a few months in the latter part of 1983, starting a bit before the launch of the GNU Project, in that (half of a) house that later was torched.

Education is not the silver bullet to a good economy. At every point in which the economy bloomed, there were sufficient jobs for people who are not college-educated. Manufacturing used to fill that gap. Part of the problem is that companies are in a race to the bottom. TechCrunch Touched on that just briefly. The most vital economies always have a read distribution of wealth through services. At some point the rest of the country, the non-tech savvy, will have to redistribute farewell to the people in the tech sector and vice versa. Wealth creation free handful of people is not the answer by itself. Because we see that does nothing for the economy at large.

I agree with you that entrepreneurship is a good answer, but it's not going to be right for everyone. Some people are not that brave, or in a position to try that. And they tried to get an adequate socialized healthcare system in place, And then Congress stamp their feet and cried, and now we have the bill that's coming now. Not the same bill that was proposed at the beginning, that the insurance companies shit a brick over.
I think that having them disperse is the whole point of not chasing them. As far as taking hostages, I just don't think what you suggest makes any sense. The ONLY way I would consider taking hostages for any reason and making a stand against the police force would be if I had no other choice.. ie. the police won't stop chasing me.
