https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non_sequitur_(logic) Non sequitur (Latin for "it does not follow"), in formal logic, is an argument in which its conclusion does not follow from its premises.

Perhaps I should explain my reasoning a bit then.

midas007: It seems like just another lie

tptacek: I don't think he's lying. I don't think he understands what he's saying.

me: To paraphrase President Nixon, the President ought to know whether or not he himself is a crook.

So if tptacek is correct in that Obama doesn't actually understand what he is saying, the universe divides into two possibilities. In universe (1) Obama is so dumb as to be incapable of understanding the issues involved. In universe (B) Obama has the capability to understand the issues but has for some reason chosen not to exercise it.

Because Obama is a scholar, I assert that (1) is unlikely. Thus Obama, like many of us when confronted with complex but ultimately tractable problems (such as optimal Pokemon strategy), has made a conscious decision not to immerse himself deeply in the issue.

This represents a problem for Democracy because the President is our civilian leader who is supposed to be in command of the military. If in fact it is the military/intelligence that is leading him, then the Presidency has failed.

It's useful, but I really want it to host secret (unlisted) Gists.

I'm hoping JSBin will do so soon. There's a promising issue about it (https://github.com/jsbin/jsbin/issues/1094) and it will be an ideal tool for semi-private code demos as well as markdown writing if supported.
yep and depending on your product, you might not even need a CTO until way later. Your ability to deliver a working product quickly and measure it's performance (metrics wise) is way more important than writing the best code evar.

This CTO sounds like scum. He may be 100% correct but it's not appropriate for him to suggest you leaving. Your CEO should man up and fire this guy for starting political infighting. Otherwise the CEO will be ousted next.

You're right about the custom malloc in so far as but bug would have been caught earlier without it.
Ask for the same terms as the founders, and ask for a big enough stake that you have something left after a prospective Series B round assuming 20-25% watering down in each round. That makes it so that the founders have to do to themselves what they do to you so your interests are aligned.

Looks like this is caused by Linodes connectivity issues.
That reminds me of when I was in bootcamp. Our DIs would constantly ask us "Are you a mouse or a man?"
I think this is more of a bug that could enable something like Heartbleed. So squashing this might make other bugs less interesting to exploit.
Might be interesting, but the site is down already
Seems so. It's called a 'tutorial', and other PyCon talks called tutorials are also around 3 hours.
I think this is the first time I've ever noticed my own website being down.
Complete blackout for my nodes, can't reach them at all. Even Linode dashboard stats for my nodes are empty starting 11:51.

The app is called Fora. At first glance, an open source version of Medium. But it's really much more. I am struggling with how to describe it (which is extremely important), perhaps HN could help here.

Idea:
Most information (such as music, movies, blogs or products) is typically stored in database tables having various structures. Fora lets people define these tables, describe how it needs to be formatted on screen, and build communities around them. So for example, Medium.com will be a structure having Cover (image), Post Title(string), Content (html) and Comments (string).

Code: https://github.com/jeswin/fora
Whatever. These witchhunts are distasteful & hypocritical. Bleh!

Then again, I've always been a fan of Jesus' saying "let him who is without sin cast the first stone". Oops, I can't say Jesus, or "him", because it's against the new "progressive" order. I fear I will soon have angry atheists & feminists demanding that I step down from my job for uttering a religious phrase. Infringing on the atheists' human right to be free of religion & feminists' human right to be free of the patriarchy & "rape culture". Does this make me look like a bigot? Please, I want to hold on to my "privilege, not right", to have a job.

It's like modern "civil rights movements", "progressive movements", blah blah blah, are corrupted to be the new oppressors and promoting new speak. It's really sad :-( MLK & Ghandi would be sad.

Feminism has been preaching sexism for a long time. Their tactic of demonizing anybody who dares to disagree with them are well known and advanced. It sucks to be a heterosexual male in America. I can't step outside without getting accused of "promoting rape culture". I hear that will soon become "hate speech" with jail time. I don't want to get married. I don't want to live with a woman in america. I already got screwed with that nonsense. My only choices are to grow a mangina or be gay :-P

Anyways, I guess the "Gay rights" movement has a template to follow. So all of you can feel better for judging others who are less "progressive" than you. I wonder if there will be a progressive 1%, because the progressive middle class is getting hollowed out.

That's ok I guess. All good things get tired and must end. Franchises & knock offs happen. The quality gets diluted. There will be a new revolution to move us forward.

Btw, did you know that Jesus was really a feminist who died to save us from the patriarchy? j/k

I'm imagining two scenarios. Either...

A) You are in fact inexperienced and are damaging the product with your code. If you have less than a year or two of programming (that includes one of those code "bootcamps" too...), then he's probably right. I would probably view you as dead weight, and would not want you on the team.

Or

B) You actually aren't that bad and could contribute to the product positively... especially if it's something like a RoR or Django app which is not the hardest thing to pickup w/o an extensive programming/CS background. In this case, your CTO is possibly an elitist prick. I've worked for a CTO who had pointlessly high standards, especially it being a pre-funded startup where, for example, he shouldn't be freaking out about a few lines of redundancy. He churned through a lot of programmers, was all very inefficient, and I certainly felt like he was power tripping at times. Even if this CTO guy is really good, if he has an abrasive personality and does stuff like I described above, for the sake of the team he should be the one to go. If your product is going places he shouldn't be too hard to replace.

This is somewhat late for Screenshot Saturday, however I have been working on Retailius. The goal is to disrupt the retail industry through the point of sale.

You can simply tell him that you'll leave if you get the rest of your vested stock, of if you get a new position as an "advisor" that allows you to stay on at a low salary until your stocks have finished vesting. If he really wants you out he'll find a way to make it happen, and if that way is writing a check instead of dealing with a bunch of drama he'll probably take it.
Putting aside all the horrible choices the language designers made (hellishly inconsistent naming, no proper exception usage by the standard library functions, functions are not first-class citizens, etc etc etc), the one thing that truly makes PHP revolting are the majority of people who write PHP code. And by the way, if PHP is the only language you know, chances are -- you're one of those developers. The community is so uniquely bad, I ofter wonder if PHP's language design actually has something to do with it.

Python/Ruby community is much different.

Slick idea. When you're thinking about marketing, don't forget weddings. Out of all the silly wedding schwag/gifts I've seen, chopsticks with my name on it would be pretty awesome.

The wedding blog/forum niche is tough to break into, but could be a great marketing avenue for you, as they /love/ merchandise that can be customized to guests, particularly products that are new and still unique/uncommon.
It is important to deal with this, I would suggest getting a number of people to support you then setting him down because this will only get worse. If you leave you will not get any benefit from the company and your investment will shrink as more investors come on. The only way to keep your investment is to stay in the company (or try to get bought out of the company). You should get him replaced. No matter how good he is, he is trying to ruin your life and that is enough to get rid of him asap.
Can't the NSA just monitor the whole network to detect anyone else using an exploit? So once they discover one, just use it to their heart's content until they start seeing it in the wild. At that point, disclose it.

We also kind of want the NSA to stop monitoring the whole network.
It sure feels that way, but I don't know if they are just being better reported now. Services to mitigate DDOS have been around for ages, so I imagine the attacks have as well.

Thank you for the feedback and great question!

Why build another job board really? Job boards are dying (so is SEO, right!?) and with the advent of LinkedIn, I can easily find the recruiters or hiring managers in the companies I want to work.

But people will always need a way to find open positions. That's what job boards are all about.

The landscape may be changing, but there is still opportunities to do things better.

JobKaster was built because the other 100K job boards couldn't do what we wanted them to - a simple local job search.

Traditional job boards use a zip code based search using distance from the zip code. It seems that this would work, but when I was searching and ended up frustrated, the results were returning up jobs 15 miles out of my specified range.

I think the difference here is the fact that location becomes the most important aspect of the job search where on the other job boards, it is simply another filter.

If you work for one of the big job boards, you probably have several niche boards under your umbrella as well. Each of those serve a specific niche which is the same thing we are trying to do.

We want to help people find jobs when location is paramount. I hated my commute, and I just wanted to find something closer to home. My Co-Founder, wanted to find a job close to the beach. But what about others? What about the single mom that wants to be close to her child's day care? What about the guys and gals taking public transportation to work? What about students trying to find something close to campus? I could name 100's of examples, and I think JobKaster fits that niche quite well.

I would love to talk about this more in depth, especially with someone who has so much experience in job boards. Feel free to shoot me an email at paul@jobkaster.com or we can continue the discussion here if you like.

He knew they were going off to try to steal drugs. He testified that he had been told they might have to "knock out" Jessica Snyder. His excuse was that he thought they were joking. Evidently, the jury did not believe that.
I was under the impression that "co-founder" carried a lot more weight than CTO; is this not the case? My gut feeling was that, if I were in the co-founder's shoes, I'd fire the CTO immediately.

Because all the coding talent in the world doesn't matter if customers aren't buying or don't know about your app.
Clearly, you are not being valued in this company. At best they are looking at you as cheap labour for next 3-6 months. At worst, you are a founder and a founder leaving is going to raise questions during funding. (Thats why he wants you to leave after 3-6 months after you have raised and not before).

Did you have a launched product/customers when the CTO joined? From your post, I gather that is a no. If so, then your CTO feels you don't deserve your stock. Him and your CEO are trying to cut you off.

Your CEO has not supported you either. He should have been the one talking to you. Not someone you hired unless the CTO has more stake than you which seems unlikely.

If he really thinks you are no longer the right fit for the company, he should have offered to vest you for your money and the time you have put in. And if your work is "not good enough" they should be asking you to leave immediately and not when it is convenient for them. You can't be both needed desperately and not good enough at the same time. To that end, I feel your CTO's ask immature, short sighted and greedy to say the least.

Talk to a lawyer, figure out a deal you could be okay with, try and get that and leave. Them yet to raise another round is a good bargaining chip for you.
Andreessen: Beware Non-Silicon Valley Investors Bearing High Valuations
It also might depend if they were smart and have a vesting schedule for everyone. But that also means pushing people out may be selfishly advantageous in the short term, so it really matters to have known your cofounders long before the current venture.
I wonder how many problems like his would also exist in a deployment in Ethiopia. Many problems seem much more complicated when you've encountered them firsthand.
We have tens of servers across 4 Linode data centers. We get hit with both data-center-wide and single-server downtime pretty much on a weekly basis.

In the span of 3 months we had something like 25% of our servers go under "emergency maintenance" downtime. Just part of the ebb and flow of "the cloud", I guess.
I need this in my life. I deploy SSL so frequently, I would love it.
It's possible to defensively code in C, particularly with modern tooling (some of which lets you write provably secure code) and good process.

The fact of the matter is the OpenSSL people simply did not care about writing good code, and the open source community as a whole was happy to assign their most critical security features to a library widely known to be confusing and terrible and not even remotely properly analyzed or tested.

Like most people, I see Heartbleed as a process failure; unlike most people, I think the process failure goes far beyond TLS or OpenSSL or C.
It looks especially silly when the NSA has never been credited as reporting any vulnerability to any vendor, ever.

They could at least throw a few over the fence and get their names in some advisories to at least pretend there is a shred of truth to this.
It seems like someone should start a Sourceforge for security project; a place that tracks and does high quality static analysis of open source projects, and makes the reports readily available.

The Japanese culture and way of life were systematically gutted during and after WWII, after which they slowly came to adopt American norms. Defeated people have imitated the victors time and again throughout history. This has little to do with how amazing the other culture is.

I find little to celebrate in the Americanization of yet another unique & rich culture.
This would be dumb though, because it would tank your company.

"many of us are holding high-powered microwave transmitters—in the form of cell phones—directly against our heads"

The typical power output of a mobile phone is around 100 milliwatts, with the transmitting power varying depending on how far you are from the cell tower and other parameters. That doesn't really qualify as a "high-powered" transmitter. (What's your microwave oven then? A weapon of mass destruction?)

Now, it's possible that low-level microwave radiation can have adverse effects on health, but starting an article with this kind of overblown sensationalism doesn't bode well for its overall credibility.

and, ideally, a rigorous test suite; for something that is essentially implementing nested state machines, that probably involves an adversarial state machine aware tester (ie get to state 1; attempt to break; get to state 2, attempt to break, etc), a fuzzer, and a serious unit test suite

I get that part of this is a community problem, etc, but a lack of the above on a security product is amazing

This looks like it is from back in January 24, 2014. Has it now been accepted into 3.15?

Regardless, is this what OSX does? From my experience, it is drastically faster at resuming.
I'd move against him, and quickly. Tell the CEO you need unity not divisiveness. You are all for working with the new CTO but he is trying to force you out of the company you founded. There is only one way to deal with people like this: decisively. The fact that you've come here to ask for opinions on this matter suggests that you may lack the inner confidence to survive in a startup. Take this as a learning opportunity. Bone up on your technical skills, hire people smarter than you. Realize that you've been identified as a less than top-tier software developer and use that information to help you figure out where your skills can best help the company succeed. Good luck, move now and go for the jugular.
Also would like to stress "President Obama has decided". This is not a law, Obama (or the next guy) can change their mind at any time. No one will be held liable in court for not abusing rather than disclosing security flaws.

What you see is an experiment at creating a Sublime Text/Atom-like fixed UI, with the list of Go packages in a tree view on the left, code in the middle, and various live widgets on the right. For instance, you can see a live git diff, the type of variable under your cursor, and various other debug things related to the parsed AST.
