Paul Graham's equity equation
I just read PG's blog: “the equity valuation”, it is great but I think it might be wrong in one calculation:

--- from blog

I think to translate salary and overhead into stock you should multiply the annual rate by about 1.5. Most startups grow fast or die; if you die you don't have to pay the guy, and if you grow fast you'll be paying next year's salary out of next year's valuation, which should be 3x this year's. If your valuation grows 3x a year, the total cost in stock of a new hire's salary and overhead is 1.5 years' cost at the present valuation.

---

I think instead of multiply by 1.5, it should be multiply by 0.67, here is why:

if the company's current valuation is 1m, and it grows 3x a year, the valuation next year should be 3m.

if you are paying the employee $100k a year,it worth 10% of the current valuation, because the salary won’t change during the year, $100k worth 3.33% of the valuation next year.

In average, you are paying 6.7% for the employee's salary.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Polygamy means marriages with more than two people. Polygyny means multiple wives, polyandry means multiple husbands.

They can refuse you service for whatever reason they like. You did damage their reputation, even if they deserved it. It may not be a dispassionate business decision that got you banned, probably just a "well fuck this guy then" from a sales manager somewhere.
To expand on Apocryphon's point, it's not the product, it's the dystopian advertising around it. I don't look at those ads and go "oh goody", instead I go "oh God!".

Getting work done away from the office? Beautiful. Great. Love it. I'd love to be able to get some work done on the train, or waiting for a plane. I'd love to be able to shoot a quick reply to my boss while waiting to check out at the grocery store. That's empowerment, and I'm all for it. They could have created ads about this. They let me turn down time into productivity. Awesome.

But instead they created ads about how instead of doing things I enjoy doing, I can work instead. Missing your child's big moment because your nose is buried in work? Check. Ignoring your friends/date at dinner time because your nose is buried in work? Check check.

I want tools that let me more more efficiently from more places. I want tools that enable me to go to dinner with my friends and not have to look at my phone.

#GetItDoneAtWork
The Cloud is Driving Innovation Faster Than Ever
Reddit has horrible groupthink though.
Same here. Have a new project I'm starting next week that this would be perfect with -- a small site with several collaborators that's not worthy of a full CMS, and everyone involved loves and uses Dropbox already.

But Dropbox is my lifeblood -- the most-used tool in my toolbox. I have everything important in there. There is simply no way I can grant access to full thing, even if you promise to "play nice". It's simply too risky.

Fix that, and you'll be getting $10/mo. from me in no time.
tell your boss's boss you're sorry, but you have plans, and that he'll have a better chance of getting things like that from you with more lead time.

Well, I think the actual answer here is that your boss doesn't ask you to do things like this in the first place. When he or she asks you to you're going to be hard-pressed to say no.
My guess:

Will women receive more power in society because they are more sought after?

No, they'll receive even less power, because they become scarce goods and thus commodities and thus less empowered as people. The ability of a guy to get his pick of the women or maintain multiple women at the expense of other guys will become a status symbol, and nowhere in that picture does one see respect or empowerment for the women.

Will societies 'losers' unable to find wives become resentful and prone to violence or substance abuse?

Yep, as has always been the case.

Will new types of un-orthodox relationships become more common?

Depends what you mean by unorthodox.

Will marriage/divorce rates increase/decrease?

See point 1. I'd wager divorce rates will decrease, though marriage rates will increase (women should have no problem finding men).

Will men leave for other nearby countries for a better chance at finding a spouse?

Almost certainly, especially if the alternative is staying in a lonely environmental shithole.

Thanks, this is a helpful explanation. The site came from a template and I didn't think too long about the issue you mention (but I agree it's important [1]).

Regarding your final para, please be assured that the folks working on the software are 'best-in-class' and do have a strong security mindset as well as a deep background in internet systems. The software is the output of research work being done in the University of Cambridge and I made the site to try and showcase the work and provide more context around it. The front-end of the site may be lacking but that shouldn't reflect on the software we're making (though I do understand why people extrapolate).

So what has that got to do with the advertising campaign and calling it a shame and dystopian?

Technology is an enabler. If you want to work, the advertised technology enables you to work. If you don't want to work, the technology does not hold a knife to your throat and force you to work. This is coming from someone who refuses to take a smartphone from work because it raises expectations about answering phone calls and emails over evenings and holidays.

I do appreciate VPN though, because it means I can leave early on Friday evening if I have something fun to do, and catch up on the work on Sunday night. And that's why DHH argument comes across as so silly, because it is dystopian not to allow technology that allows me to time shift my work.

By DHH's same metric, the following are dystopian because they enable you to work outside your office: Remote desktop, VPN, Google Apps, SaaS offerings, web based tools, smartphones with work email.

Google even has a similar pitch for their Google apps:

>Need to attend a meeting from your kid’s soccer game?

>Access your work from any device with a web browser – your computer, phone or tablet – and stay productive even when you’re away from the office

>Google Apps makes it easy to stay connected to projects you’re working on and the people you work with, no matter where you are or what device you’re using.
What's shocking is that this is news.

Github solves a problem that I don't have, but that doesn't mean it's a bad product right?
Not to argue with you specifically, but the concept of "solves a problem I don't have" isn't really an issue. I use Uber frequently because I don't drive (NYC), you may not if you have a car. Is Uber a shitty company? Nope, its pretty awesome, but it solves a problem for a small subset of people.
Same with Coin.
I highly doubt YC would have taken on coin if they didn't have a large market to go after. Whether or not it applies to me is less important and that seems to get lost in these conversations (which is weird being on HN).
Quit your job then. There are plenty of better situations out there, if you tolerate it then you're helping no-one - and definitely not yourself.
This is exactly the position I would take. However, I have little doubt of my ability to find another job quickly (and the resources to weather a period of unemployment fairly easily) so doing something that puts my job at risk in service of my principles is a relatively easy stance for me to take.

For those who have less-portable skills, or are in a more competitive labor market, telling your boss to go to hell is a much more dubious choice.
Centuries ago people could not imagine humans measurably changing the ph of the oceans, fishery collapse, global deforestation, anthropogenic climate change and an elevation in the extinction rate to rival the great mass extinction events of millions of years ago.

While I admire your resistance to knee-jerk doomsaying, suggesting we're just going to technology our way out of this mess without having to make tough choices about population is blinkered and myopic.
You don't need FU money to tell people to go stuff themselves, you just have to have a skill set that's in high demand and a good reputation.

No-one is denying the concept would work -- it's just an enormously expensive way to save remarkably little energy.

A Macbook Pro battery -- 63.5 Wh -- can store as much energy as a 46kg mass suspended in a 500m shaft operating with 100% efficiency. Now, which do you think costs more to build and maintain?
Probably. I'm a pretty poor developer. I'm a sysadmin who sometimes writes PHP apps for work. So, I'll look into PDO. :D
I'm experiencing a horribly broken login process.

* Open login screen

* Switch to password app, copy password

* Switch back to Google Music, login screen loads again

* Enter credentials, 2-step verification screen loads

* Switch to Google Authenticator, get 2-step number

* Switch back to Google Music, user/password login screen loads again.

In short, I cannot authenticate using a single device, I'll have to use a second device to pull up the 2-auth number.
To be fair, I don't think the OP uses the word 'vegan' anywhere in his post. My vegetarian friends often get irritated when people confuse them for vegans. "Yes, of course I eat eggs. Yes, of course I drink milk"

Perhaps this was the case. I did not do well the first two years. I hated school in fact and averaged a 3.3 or so (the engineering courses felt very soft and uninteresting). This changed when I discovered pure math and theoretical physics and I averaged almost a 4.0 for the last two years with the most difficult courses so I didn't think it would matter. I like engineering now, but I wished that the fundamentals were covered more rigorously as the lack of rigor made me initially very disinterested.

"the whole source code would be released as open-source to our paying customers."

The "as open-source" part there seems not entirely true. It's not truly "open" if only paying customers have a copy. Just "would be released..." would suffice, without the buzzword compliance thrown in.

I think you are missing a very fine point. The wealth gap in China is the only factor that comes into play. Men who cannot find a wife will almost always be in the working class. The middle and upper classes will be fine. Since China treats their working class so poorly, there will likely be no effect on their society socially.

One of China's biggest fears as a nation is the unrest among the working class. They are the backbone of China's manufacturing economy. This is the only thing I would worry about.

Given that the task is creating a "weekly metrics spreadsheet," something the boss had the time to plan for, I agree with you. But I remember my younger years very clearly, when something that sat on your director's desk for a week would plop down on yours at 6PM with a next-day deadline. Balking is a less attractive long-term proposition than grinding for a while. At that point, having the mobility options presented in the advert could be attractive.

At more senior levels, shit happens - servers blow up, deals come out of nowhere, and your top client with millions of dollars in arrears declares bankruptcy. It's generally unreasonable to declare all those situations unworthy of your consideration, let alone time, ex ante.
Marriage rates might follow the path of South Korea or Japan and fall precipitously anyway. Mostly because women earning major money don't seem to have the urge to rush into deeply patriarchal relationships.

Would you mind telling me if it works ok for you in Safari if you have it?
I'd venture a guess, and say that Postgresql didn't win, sqlite and mongodb won. I think a lot of the reason behind MySQLs initial success was blogs and various php-apps that weren't architected properly (from a db perspective). Some of these didn't need a ("proper") db, and most of them probably did, but "worked well enough" without one.

I never really understood why you'd want to use a separate dbms if it couldn't do proper constraints, triggers, transactions and materialized views for you -- then it starts to feel like a lot of wasted effort.

So for many of the use-cases where MySQL might have been appropriate, we now have sqlite, mongodb, memcache/redis and a few others.

Personally I don't really see any reasonable use-cases for mongodb, just as I didn't see many reasonable use-cases for mysql -- not that you couldn't build stuff on top of it, just that it wasn't a very good idea.

>> "Still infinitely better than the stock music app"

I've always found the iOS Music app superior to pretty much everything else (including Play). Obviously it doesn't have streaming but as a player the UI is much better. I find Play quite confusing and it wastes a lot of space (e.g. the artists screen - I don't need to see a photo of the artist with their name, it doesn't add any value).

If there's an aspect I don't like about myself is that I hate traveling. The whole topic of travel bores me a lot. And really alienates myself from "interesting" conversations.

Just the thought of sleeping somewhere that isn't my place, then carry all things and walking, and having that fear of getting lost all the time is not something I find enjoyable, and lets not forget airports.

I enjoy going out (and I do it a lot) and meeting strangers and I pretty much live in a tourist trap. So it isn't that I'm antisocial.
maybe I'm missing something but why not just signup for another dropbox account and use that one for this instead?
Create an enemy. Great marketing DHH.
It doesn't sit well with me that Ashe is trivializing the time commitment with 'oh they're just white dudes', when it's usually more a case of 'they love what they do and they make time for it'. If writing open source gives you the competitive edge in the market then that's great no-one should feel guilty about edging others out of higher profile work because they represent their skills better at recruitment. The drivers aren't geared to social wedging (seriously who even has time for that crap?), I think open contribution is more about skill, creativity and passion than anything else. Race, minorities, gender, orientation has ZERO to do with anything, stats are only corrolary. Where are the stats that OSS engagement is becoming a trending hire filter?

It kind of reads like a no-child-left-behind or no-child-gets-ahead (can't remember which) proponent piece. We all have busy lives and saying its a race/gender etc. issue is way off the mark. I wish that whole section was left out as it just confuses the pretty simple point I think she was trying to make that open source engagement should not be an authoritative filter.
Even though it doesn't have a winning / losing condition, I had coded an automated bot[0] to draw for me in Doodle or Die[1]. Stopped using it when people started complaining though.

I'm a single data point, but no, it's not a problem I have. My wallet is thick, but getting rid of the charge cards (only) in my wallet doesn't solve any pain point I have. But then again, Snapchat doesn't solve a problem I have either, and somehow they're worth Billions, so what do I know?
I would argue that it isn't, because it simply pushes the boundary back, and possibly making it even less appropriate.

I can't see having valid or "compelling" research experience as an undergraduate while taking a full load of classes (ok, so you have to take advanced placement courses in high school, which my school did not offer even if my school district did; I'm not sure one way or the other about that) and possibly working to support yourself (I'll leave the alternatives as an exercise to the reader).

At this point, you're filtering on many criteria that have absolutely nothing to do with successful research.

I;ve been using Google Music on my android device and it is by far the best music app I've used (vs. Pandora, spotify, last.fm, etc). The killer feature for me is that it learns what I like and the radio stations it generates are pretty awesome. This may be helped by the fact that I uploaded my entire mp3 library as well.
Releasing source code to paying customer is not "open source", it's just a clause in a contract. Microsoft allow some larger companies can get their hands on the Windows source code.

If the campaign was, "Work from home easily one day a week" this blog post wouldn't exist. The debate here has nothing to do with remote work as a concept.
