Back up everything for $10/month? That's appealing.
Depending on holidays (likely bare minimum) and vacation (likely none), that would only be minimum wage.
A good company balances the overzealous enthusiasm of youth with the practicality of the wisdom that can only be attained through years, possibly decades, of work. The problem is a lot of people get jaded over time and forget what it was like to be young and excited to work on new (usually to them) projects. The older people tend to become downers if allowed to. Companies that can foster mutual respect between workers spanning multiple generations are the best. If everyone, old and young alike, can focus on continual growth and realizing we can all learn from one another then much can be achieved.
>This latest report by Linkedin is where it hit me – something smells fishy about this. It is just too much of a coincidence that three of the major tech companies have issued almost identical “diversity” reports, and all three have been missing something screamingly obvious – any mention at all of age, or even an explanation as to why it is missing. This almost seems like collusion, it is almost certainly a cover up.

Someone needs to do more research before jumping to conclusions about motive. Age isn't reported in the US EEO-1 Survey [1] which is the basis of the diversity reports that various companies have recently published [2]. That's why the reports are nearly identical.

> if I was a VC, I might choose to avoid female founders altogether.

If you're a VC, you should be adept at assessing risk. If you think that the "risk" of working with female founders outweighs the potential upside, you're definitely not going to be touching my money and I'd rather not have any of yours.
Here is a translation of Altman's message from powertalk into english:

"Dear feminists and rabble rousers, we recognize your power. We are on your team. We will genuflect in the direction of those things you consider holy. Please don't target us."

(For those unfamiliar with the term, "powertalk" is the in-group language of powerful people.)

Elastic MapReduce questions go unanswered on AWS forums and StackOverflow

Is anyone who works for Amazon listening?

I'm having immense trouble getting concrete answers to my questions about migrating from AMI 2.x + Hadoop 1.x to AMI 3.1.0 + Hadoop 2.4.0. This is particularly upsetting because:

1) Hadoop debug cycles are already long, and Elastic MapReduce debug cycles are even longer.
2) Amazon Hadoop 1.x seems to interact better with S3 than Amazon Hadoop 2.x; for some reason, small-file issues that did not appear in 1.x do appear in 2.x. This is just a shot in the dark, but I believe it has something to do with the mods hinted at in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16403576/hadoop-number-of-available-map-slots-based-on-cluster-size .
3) Users are encouraged to used the latest AMI and consequently the Hadoop 2.x line because they are maintained more actively; however, I find most of the Elastic MapReduce documentation is a holdover from Hadoop 1.x. This documentation doesn't just require a light touch-up; much must be rewritten from scratch.
4) Debugging costs users money, so Amazon has an incentive not to help out as actively. Not conspiracy theorizing, here -- just noting the obvious.
Not all but many private landlords can be fickle, turfing you out on a whim, getting into the business without realising the costs, basically having an amateur attitude to the endeavour.

The patagonia sun shade hoody is my favorite for wearing at high elevation or on the water when there is some wind though it can be too hot if their isn't wind.

For warmer conditions there are some great pieces in their summer trail running line (on clearance at the moment) including the air flow and gamut shirts:

Edit: opt for the stuff with mesh zones, the straight cap 1 stuff doesn't breath as well. Their merino 1 t shirts are also nice.

Also check out fly fishing clothing by them and others for sun protective clothing with a less athletic look.
The key with ageism in tech is to move into mgmt. You're not supposed to be a code monkey at 30. And especially not having 10 years of experience in a technology 10 years old.

Also as you said, young people put up with shit no one over 30 would ever put up with. $30k for 80 hour weeks? No thanks, I'd rather flip burgers because it pays more than $7.50/hr, McDonalds also has free soda.

Saying that feminists are in a position of power is utterly ridiculous.
I'm kind of surprised this needs to be said, but on further reflection not really, I guess. WTF.

Overall, I think it's good to make this explicit. People rarely harass / victimize up the power hierarchy.

The only way to stop bullying is to stand up to bullies. I know it's difficult and there may be consequences, but I really believe the right way to handle this is to gather up a bunch of these stories and publish them with full disclosure of the names of people involved.

You don't change a culture of harassment by quietly warning people about who is a harasser. You change the culture by ostracizing people who behave that badly.
Probably this is a not-very-empathizable example (thus the downvotes), but the principle is sound. Humans re-engineer the Earth to obey human morality. We think the wolf killing the sheep is wrong, so we put a fence between the wolf and the sheep. Now the wolves start starving to death, so we toss sheep steaks over the fence. It's a weird equilibrium. (Though possibly solved one day, for the most part, if we get vat-grown meat right.)
Great idea!

Im surprised that every comment so far basically leans towards age discrimination not being a wide spread thing. Its definitely a thing, especially in startups, incubators, and definitely companies already mostly staffed with young workers.

Disclosure: I'm 35 and have been CTO at my ladt 3 companies. I've certainly have been biased myself worrying that older candidates I'm interviewing wont have the same hustle, want a higher salary than the value they would contribute, and might be more stubborn and resistant to leadership.

Age should definitely be included in these reports.

Yeah, this is why I described it as "maybe unfortunate". I do believe there are roles where you will end up being "permanent boss" to a group of people, and short of losing all of your money/influence there's no way out.

A burden of being incredibly wealthy and influential, I suppose.

Effective "broad spectrum" sunscreens have been available in the USA for years. Perhaps there's a wider or better variety of UVA-blocking sunscreens outside the USA, but what you can get here is still effective and approved/regulated by the FDA.

> sunscreens will have to prove they provide good protection against both forms of the sun’s dangerous ultraviolet rays to claim they reduce the risk for skin cancer, sunburns and wrinkles ... Only sunscreens that pass a test that shows that they shield skin from both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays will be allowed to be labeled “broad spectrum”

According to the Glacier docs "Most Amazon Glacier jobs take about four hours to complete" [1] so a few minutes is a bit of an underestimate.

Specific details are hard to come by, I have no RF expertise myself, and I have no idea how deployed, operational or effective such a project may be, but it has definitely been an area of interest.

A source vaguely intimated it might have something to do with retro-reflection from receivers' local oscillators when illuminated by much higher-strength signals than designed for. They mentioned equipment provided by GCHQ to the Security Service (MI5) for operational triangulation of short-wave radio receivers in the 1980s-1990s (I can see why that might have been relevant to their interests then...) and/or pagers in the 1990s-early 2000s. Does that help?

All three volumes of TCP/IP Illustrated may be found on the Internet in pdf form, but they are well worth buying.

Tangent: One of my favorite interview questions is to ask how traceroute works. The question works best when the candidate doesn't actually know. Then we can start to discuss bits and pieces of how TCP/IP works, until they can puzzle out the answer.
On most PC's in BIOS (or UEFI) you can set the default boot order however you want, to prioritize USB, HDD, CDROM, Network, even floppy still.

This has been the norm for about 10years at least, so that way you get the boot order best for your usage.

I've worked in a few different industries that are traditionally a lot more corporate than most startups. Most notably, finance.

What I've noticed is that while these companies tend to have older tech guys than you'll find at a lot of startups, it's still a lot younger age-wise than the rest of the business.

I think part of it is that the number of young people who were in tech 20 years ago compared to now was much smaller. This is a new industry and it's not completely far fetched to think that part of the reason why we are missing a lot of grey hairs is that there's simply not as many of them. It's also pretty well known that a lot of older programmers move out of full-time coding roles and into management positions. Granted this isn't universal across the board but it's been proven true in my anecdotal experiences.

Personally, I absolutely love it when I get an applicant who graduated college before 2000. No matter what their skill as a developer, I know they have way more life experience than me. Someone with experience will usually beat out the guy working more hours so for me, it's a no-brainer to hire the older guy who's done it all than a young whipper snapper who's super ambitious but has a massive ego.

No, that's a mock-up from earlier in the year, made by Foxconn. (It's still fairly accurate, mind you - but the link above gives you a better idea of the socket/connector layout.)
Effortless Conference Calls with SendHub
you know. On the project I'm working on, I thought about using the hosts file as a method of configuring the behaviour of a server. "mycomp-eventserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

In the end, we just created configuration files for it, as more often then not, there are other factors that need to be included.

That said, maybe these requirements are being set by applications that are not yours to mess around with.

In which case, may god have mercy on your soul.
For the ballet analogy to fit, you'd have to imagine that men who attended coed classes were frequently subject to a lot of negative attention, ranging from "oh my god a male" all the way up to blatant sexual abuse. You would have to imagine men generally avoiding ballet because of this.

In such a situation, I think providing some path for men to participate at all, and thus gradually shift the balance to the point where it no longer is a big deal, would trump the more abstract general concern of "let's not ever make anything about sex." I understand that ideal, but we're not there yet. We're in a remedial situation, where VC (and much of society, to be honest) is as of yet too immature to allow that to work.

I was willing to accept the "we have a small budget and need 80 hour weeks", but they still preferred to hire a younger person and gave him a decent salary
The other responses are excellent, but I'll add my two cents. There is good reason to interpret this language broadly. Its really shitty when someone you assumed was interested in you as a potential investment (or as a coworker or mentor or contact or just an ally in office politics), turns out to just be interested in getting into your pants. Hitting on someone at demo day is just the tip of the iceberg. This goes all the way down to asking out someone on your team. This shit is just toxic up and down.
This all (Panamax + Fig) looks like a copycat of Ubuntu Juju. But in Ubuntu Juju you have a decent command line tool and decent UI all in one and you are not restricted to Docker only. Only needs more love and collaboration with Docker.
I have always been pessimistic about the glorification of Silicon Valley, but this puts me over the edge to be utterly disgusted with everything that is the Tech world.

It might as well be a giant cult, where the "priests" (VCs and/or wealthy individuals in general) get to have sex with the women (people) of their choice. I am absolutely disgusted. The level of hypocrisy in this industry is horrendous. Until the Tech community can clean up its own act, it need not apply for 'cleaning up the world'.

There is a systemic attitude justifying these actions in the minds of these individuals. Just because they may be extremal outliers does not mean that their thinking was independent of their environment.

EDIT: I would like to add: And just because you write software, or helped build a company, or invested in a company that created a widely adopted piece of software, does NOT make you some sort of (semi-)savior of the world. I strongly believe that much of the chauvinism we are seeing is derived from the already large (undeserved) egotistical foundation much of S.V. sustains/feeds/nourishes itself off of.

>>* Versatility: DVD capability in the PS2 was a fairly big deal at the time. Blu-ray in the PS3 was not, but it did look good in a bullet-point comparison against the 360.

While this statement is generally true, I'm sure the Blu-Ray was not an insignificant thing for some people.

Shortly after the PS3 was released, I got my first 1080p TV, and I wanted 1080p content like Planet Earth. The PS3 seemed to be the best value for a Blu-Ray player at the time, so I bought a PS3 as my HD content player. I ended up buying a bunch of games, but at the time I bought the PS3, the console games were gravy to me.
Is there any published research on what CS majors or people working as software engineers in their 20s are doing at age 30, 40, 50, 60?

As many has observed, the numbers don't make sense for everyone to be a manager or CTO.

I definitely sense anxiety when people talk about their future - "I know I don't want to still be coding in 10 years" - but I wonder if that's partly an incomplete picture of what others are doing.
Neat. You're trusting a website that doesn't list who runs it (whois says it's a guy named Mathijs Vogelzang out of Paris) or what their intentions are to provide a fair lottery to anonymous addresses. Given enough lotteries you could backtrace the results and make sure the distributions are probabilistically random, but what's stopping the owner from entering a sufficiently large pool and 'randomly' selecting an address he controls as the winner?

Oh, and for providing this service you automatically lose 2% off the top.

There are far better ways to waste your virtual disney dollars.
That shows a little problem, in that its probably not terribly difficult to find a "real employer" or some contract work paying over $16/hr 40 hrs/wk and then do something even cooler than the startup during your 40 hours "off".

If the startup is only looking for $7/hr caliber of employee, if you're worried about them making it big and missing out, get a "real" $30/hr job 40 hrs a week and out of that income hire a $7/hr noob to keep the startup entertained while you're at your real job. Essentially, subcontract your job.
Sam Altman acknowledges that stories of this behavior are not "super rare", but that "most" stories don't get told for obvious reasons. Y Combinator states that Demo Day is attended by "most of the world’s top startup investors." This is a large group of people.

Given the size of the investor pool and apparent prevalence of this behavior, the "nearly all the investors we know are completely upstanding and professional" statement is preposterous. There is simply no way for anybody to know all of the investors who are behaving badly, and the "even one inappropriate incident is too many" statement minimizes the regularity with which it is clear this behavior is occurring by subtly suggesting that these are isolated incidents.
AI is a funny field. As soon as we understand something (read: build something) that we think is AI, it's no longer AI, it's just the result of some computation.

As humans, and more importantly in this context, things with "real" intelligence, we don't like the thought of explaining away our consciousness and experiences. I'm inclined to think that natural-language SQL for diverse data sources wouldn't just be AI, it would be real intelligence, on the order of what humans have, complete with qualia. See this excellent Radiolab episode[0] where they discuss an experiment about the relationship between thought and language.

On a side note, you should check out www.walkscore.com if you haven't already. It's a great website for looking for houses (to buy and rent) that does some of the things you mentioned.
