I'm generally a Laissez-faire kind of guy, but the treatment I get from my cable company is a strong argument to drastically increase regulation, or even nationalize entire chunks of the industry.

If you're providing a service so poorly that nationalization seems like a good alternative, then your business probably deserves to be nationalized.
It depends on where in the world you are, and what sort of development you do. I rarely see regular business app developers with Macs where I am (South Africa). Indeed Macs are generally used by the wealthy here (weak exchange rate+middle-income country), or those who need to develop for iOS. Universities either use Linux or Windows in CS labs.

A huge percentage of the developer community worldwide uses Visual Studio, and most run it on Windows, rather than a Mac running a VM.

Let me know in 10 years, when you are 50 pounds heavier, have a distressed family life, stress, high blood pressure and back at a 9-5 doing crud apps for insurance companies how it feels then.

If we take the higher end of you statement (12*6) you are working 72 hours a week. Seriously, you aren't that productive (Studies show this) so you are just 'wasting' time anyway, if you don't have to be in an office to 'pretend' to work those hours, then get the fuck away from the screen
As much as I support the power of positive thinking, someone should never make assumptions about anyone's feelings - good or bad. You should assume all possible outcomes and state what you want for yourself. If you have legal precedent for defending what you want for yourself, you should use it.

The author's theory is that burnout is caused by not doing the things one loves.

I have a different, albeit perhaps related theory: burnout is caused by not being able to get in the "flow" for extended periods of time.

I can relate to the author's example of having split duties involving coding and not coding, as I'm in the same boat. About half of my week involves developing my company's learning management system, and the other half involves going to meetings about various training activities that are hosted on the system. The latter part is what causes burnout, because the meetings are spread out through the day and totally disrupt my flow. No matter how hard I have tried, I haven't been able to block out large, uninterrupted chunks. As a result, I find myself in these situations where just as I'm about to get in the zone, I get a reminder that says "meeting in 15 minutes!"

It has reached a point where I started looking for other jobs. Anyone need a Rails developer? :(
This makes the most sense here. Nobody creates new option shares by "giving up" shares - you issue new shares which create the option pool.

Do you actually have a contract for your ESOP? It's common to not have one in the early stages since they are expensive to create.

Maybe your founders don't really know what they are doing wrt to options - many don't.
I have been happy with Faxaway. I think my $10 payments each last me almost a year, given how much I use the service ($1/month plus $0.11 per minute sending in U.S., receive faxes for free). The interface is email: put fax phone number + '@fax2.faxaway.com' as recipient, 'FAXDOC' as subject, and attach pdf of document you're faxing. Works great.

I'm seeing a lot of comments focusing you on your percentage of the share pool. One area where you can really take a hit is share priority. At each funding round the company can issue a new, higher priority of shares, and even let previous participants who buy into the new round get their existing shares upgraded to the new priority. You can be sitting on your X% shares (whatever X ends up being) and find out when your company is sold that you're getting $0 because there was no money left after servicing the priority shares. This effect can be greatly magnified if some of the money was paid in with an interest clause, with that value also taking priority over your own share of the company.
You're remote, and you're a code monkey. You don't have to assume your company is out to screw you, but don't assume they'll work hard to try and take care of you. You most certainly need a lawyer in the corporation's state, and one who specializes in this area of the law.
Good luck! It can be rough out there.
As a former techician for Comcast, the reason is that the management there is far removed from what actually goes on in the field, they have no idea how hectic the scheduling can be. When an appointment can reasonably take anywhere from 2min to 3+ hours, it takes much more flexibility on the management end to allow the work to be done properly instead of being forced to rush through it.
In general, it's a terrible idea to run a command that contains secret information in the command line. The 'API secret' will be viewable by any user on the machine. (For instance, they could run 'ps waux' and grab the key)

Of course, the script could be running on a machine with only one user, so there might be no problem for this specific case. But it's just good practice to avoid creating potential security holes.

If modern routers are delegated to router duty only, this wouldn't be a problem. However, routers these days are for all intents and purposes, specialised home servers with shared media streaming and the like as well.

Oh I was probably somewhat misinformed because the article I read a while ago was much more hyped up than I realized at the time. My apologies. I got the wrong impression.

I just assumed it had already become "industry standard." Perhaps it was "becoming industry standard" instead. I think the article was specifically about car (not health) insurance too but I can't remember details. I went to go find it again before posting but of course I couldn't.

I also somewhat suspect (but I have no proof of course) that there is at least a little bit of data sharing to third parties that insurance companies can/do use to get more of the "big picture." Probably more car insurance than health insurance. I know such a thing as a "driving record" exists probably supplied by a company such as LexisNexis. My car insurance provided me a copy of my driving record.

So for example Person A has a pattern of behavior through different insurance companies that can be flagged while just looking at one insurance company's data might not show the data.

This is all wild speculation on my part more of a thought experiment on my part. Laws such as the FCRA are starting to address SOME of these issues but I'm not sure they are on top of all practices.

This type of tracking has become more common in the age of "big data."

That depends on what you're looking for, locally. Starbucks is always a pretty good option in Germany, but of course shops have varying levels of noise and connectivity.

The Starbucks in Frankfurt near the old stock exchange is pretty good if you can get a place at the big table it's even office-like, and generally shared by people doing the same thing. The Starbucks in Heidelberg works for me, but it's relatively small. There are also several non-chained coffee shops in these cities where you can feel right at home.

Also, if you're ever in Austria, Vienna is absolutely beautiful for coffee shop work.

The secret to finding these things in Germany is to know they come in clusters. For example, Berlin, Frankfurt and Heidelberg are pretty decent and you can find several nice coffee shops there. Find cities that are somewhat cosmopolitan, because size is a bad predictor for coffee shop density here. In between there are vast stretches of absolutely nothing, but then again distances in Germany are generally ridiculously small even though Germans don't think so.
My hope was to make this as clean and intuitive as possible from a UX standpoint, so I appreciate your feedback on the design.

As far as future development goes, I hadn't actually thought about linking to one outright. I wanted to get feedback on this barebones version and go from there. Features in the pipeline right now are mobile responsiveness and multiple admins per account. I will have to look into what you recommended as well though.

As far as monetization goes, I just wanted to build something cool that people use. I figure I can always set up some premium features down the road if hosting becomes too expensive but right now I'm willing to eat a couple hundred bucks a month.
I think the problem is that with this much demand if a few people do this they will make it very hard for others to get a car - which will end up just annoying them about the Lyft experience. Lyft would prefer shorter rides that would be distributed around more people.

Now it's basically investors subsidizing a few long trips and pissing off other potential riders.

Isn't burnout originally something way worse than exhausted and demotivated? Examples:

I burnt out once, it left me crying everytime I where alone and took me months to get through the first phase. Anything that reminded me about the old job, e.g. a faulty drive-train, could trigger stomach pain etc. It took 5 full years before I was really myself again even though I studied and had normal jobs during those years.

I have seen a couple of friends and colleagues go through the same. One of them was a promising technician who had to leave it.

Whenever I read articles like this I wonder if we are talking about the same kind of burnout? (And yes, English is not my first language.)
The web app's UI. I think the colors themselves would be OK with a regular font but the current one is so thin that it's barely visible. You should advertise your tool to other vim-leaning communities, like r/vim on reddit.

It's very neat.
Yea - I definitely felt guilty but the driver was okay with it and when you get 50 free rides over 2 weeks you do have the incentive to use them all up.

If they gave fewer trips over a longer time frame I imagine people would be more conservative.

Google Chrome Browser Market Share Tops 20%: Leaves Firefox In Its Dust
So sure, the demand in and of itself is growing, but it's in contrast to the huge supply that it seems almost fixed.

Regards "the tech scene's" narrow focus, what kind of software does the rest of the world need? I mean what problems can software really solve? And to get a better understanding of how we as developers can do anything about it, what is it exactly about software that allows it to do that?
That sounds more like nervous breakdown than burnout.
Not any. You're forgetting that people are "geeks" about everything, including the law. Some of them haven't gone to law school for various reasons, usually either another compelling interest or cost. Complex litigation paralegals might know everything from criminal to tax to probate, and can effectively self-study the rest.

Remember, reading the law is not new, and Supreme Court justices have both used this path, as did a huge portion of the professors who taught justices in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, in brief where most of our modern legal framework was laid.

Lawyers look down on paralegals generally. But at every firm, there's a few paralegals that the attorneys treat with respect because they get shit done. Those are the ones that I think could become excellent lawyers with self-study.

Why not let them take the test? If they fail, they fail.
There's some negativity in the early comments here, but I'd like to applaud the effort of making this a dead-simple self-hosted, FTP-friendly solution. We need more experiments around federated self-owned networks which are appealing to end users.

Ask HN: Native or hybrid iPhone app?
We just finished developing a native iOS app for our web based project management tool Breeze (http://www.breeze.pm), and now we have some doubts about it.

At the moment we have 2 mobile apps:

* A basic mobile web app http://m.breeze.pm , it's just a reduced functionality with some mobile friendly CSS.

* A prototype native iPhone app, we open sourced it http://github.com/breezepm/breeze-ios .

Our main problem with the native app is that development is slow and painful, it's basically reinventing the web functionality. Doing drag and drop, syncing changes with api etc.

It seems easier just to render HTML from server side and use all the ready made components.

Should we just drop the all native app and go for a hybrid approach ?
This is amazing. Imagine taking high definition video of a crowd of people. You could pick out objects nearby and hear what individuals are saying. You could nearly produce a 3D auditorium by sampling different points in a video. Couple this with a 3D camera and an Oculus Rift, you could have something incredible.

>> there were times when I got completely burnt out as often as once every few days.

That's not multiple burnouts. That's one burnout.

That's what burnout is like. It's not a complete inability to work. It's a lack of consistency. I think that's why so many people don't think to do anything about it. They think, "if I just quit being so lazy..." they could get everything done. Clearly, they're capable. And it is clearly not permanent. So the problem must be them, right?

Wrong. The problem with lack of consistency and reliability is a feedback loop. If you don't keep to regular, sustainable hours, your body will take up the deficit later. Your mean productivity is basically set, it's your standard deviation that you can control.

So, you either work really hard now and have everyone freak out that you're not being as productive as they've come to expect out of you. Or you just not establish an expectation of being hyperproductive in short bursts.

To overuse a metaphor: you don't win a marathon in the first 100 meters.
I'm also coming from outside the bubble. From a different viewpoint, though, programmers aren't so bad about this. Try hanging out with some medical doctors and nurses, instead. I might think my 60 hour weeks are bad, but i just can't complain about it to my wife when she gets home from her 80 hour weeks. Burnout is a completely accepted part of nursing, and many nurses take it into account in career planning.

Not saying it isn't crazy also, just providing another perspective.
It is possible depending on the area. Overflight is permitted in Navigable Airspace. In rural areas flight below 500 feet above ground level is prohibited in general. Note drones are still a grey area as the FAA has not issued rules covering them.

The Supreme Court has found flight below 90' trespass, but did not rule on where navigable airspace begins. (In this specific case somewhere above 83').

Also note that while you can build to significant heights in the airspace above your property; if the FAA finds your structure to be a hazard to air navigation you will find it near impossible to get liability insurance. Often cell towers are built just short of 200' AGL so a determination doesn't have to be made under FAR77.

Again, it's a complex issue and I'm speaking generally about (FAA defined) rural areas. Urban areas have different rules and standards.
The fallacy in this comment is that the choices are between the (totally broken) system we had in the US in 2007 and single-payer. There are countries where health care works that occupy neither of those extremes.

Quitting and leaving is an OPTION. Realize that doing the right thing in a difficult situation will cause you immediate discomfort and probably scare you more than you like. Realize options that you fear the most are probably the best for you.

You must have some sort of contract between yourself and the company or the founders. If there isn't a contract, or it's a bad one, then it becomes interesting from the standpoint of IP ownership. How your shares are tied to the IP ownership is what you want to concentrate on as it is your lever to get what you want. If you find the founders are being unreasonable, use any and all means to defend your dilution up to the point it equals an equitable dilution of all shares by all stake holders.

Don't make blaming statements to the founders, clearly state what you want for yourself in terms of ownership, then go get an attorney and have them look at the documentation. After they give you an opinion on it, prepare yourself for the worst outcome and then restate what you want for yourself again to the founders. If they don't agree, be prepared to make the hard decision.

Best of luck to you!
