Funny, I had this discussion with a friend a few days ago. I see the term entrepreneur as a description of a persons character. I don't think you have to be a millionaire or even need big succes (yet).

If you're starting a few companies or projects, spend all your time, money and energy in those and try to generate money in creative ways; you're an entrepreneur.

But we should all repeat the mantra: " ideas don't matter -- only execution ! "
Complaining about the word "entrepreneur" is itself a bit tacky, since for posers to annoy you that much, you must be spending too much time around them. In the US, it also seems to be a complaint exclusive to the software industry. I don't see anyone complaining about people who open storefronts using the word to describe themselves. And if someone starts businesses in multiple fields, what are they then?

Also, what about anyone who grew up in poverty, worked hard, and was the first person in their family to create a new business, like a bakery or a hair salon. Are they now also running the risk of getting ridiculed and having their accomplishments diminished if they use the word?
The second test there

env X='() { (a)=>\' sh -c "echo date"; cat echo

calls sh rather than bash, which is likely not linked to bash on Debian-y systems.

The idea that people really work 80-hour weeks is TOTAL BULLSHIT. It's only self-aggrandizement.

80 hours a week means 11 hours a day every single day. That means you wake up at 8am, roll into office at 9am (ya, show me a startup where everyone's there at 9am!), work straight until 8pm, and get home 9pm. Including Saturdays and Sundays.

I completely reject the notion that even in the most dedicated startup, you will find a large number of people who do this for any sustained period of time.

People have limits. After a few days of 11-hour shifts, anyone will say "fuck, I need a break." Even the fabled CEO, who will be on email and essentially on call 24/7, will take breaks that bring the number down from 80 hours sustained.
HR: "I am required to get a number before proceeding. What is your salary expectation?"

I got that once. There's not much you can do about a situation like that unless you're willing to bypass HR and cold-mail tech managers about your application.
You'll probably run into all the same problems other Common Lisps run in to when they try to shake out the compiler from their runtime, namely that often you really do want to create and run new code at runtime (i.e. EVAL but much more often (compile nil '(lambda () ...)). A common example in CL is creating CLOS dispatch functions with specialized parameters to speed up generic dispatch, which I believe most CLOS implementations do at runtime (certainly SBCL/CMUCL's PCL does). You'll wind up needing to include your compiler, Emscripten itself, and all of their dependencies (LLVM libraries?) which will be quite a huge pile of JavaScript. The alternative is to include a CL interpreter but that has obvious speed problems.

The explanation of greater longevity is simple. Heart disease and stroke, at least in the US, together account for slightly more deaths than cancer. Suppose that moderate alcohol consumption increases cancer risk by 5%, but decreases heart disease and stroke risk by 10%. Although there would be more cancers due to alcohol, the overall death count would still be reduced, because of the protective effect on the cardiovascular system.

No one is saying that alcohol doesn't have negative effects on health. It's just that the positive effects of moderate consumption are stronger, enough so that overall mortality is reduced (at least according to the available scientific evidence, which I admit may not tell the whole story).

I snorted on that one.
This really gets annoying to me too. I think the media is largely to blame for it. Every city with a kid who started a website is referred to as "Silicon <insert word that describes the local terrain>".

Likewise, they call every person with a blog an "entrepreneur". I think the reason it annoys me is because it gives people a false impression of what it means to start a real business at a time when we need more people to start businesses. They have unrealistic expectations, and end up getting turned off to the whole concept when it doesn't work out like in "The Social Network".
I listen to This Week in Startups and Jason Calacanis always makes the ads really personal. I've gotten value from at least a couple products advertised on This Week in Startups and This Week in Venture Capital (e.g. Scott Walker, startup lawyer).

Many of the comedy podcasts I listen to aren't in love with the products like many of the tech podcast hosts, but they often deliver the ads in a funny way. I think it's very unobtrusive most of the time (and seemingly effective).
I haven't studied a worm in years, but historically it's been common practice to close the door you came in through upon entry, for exactly this reason.

That's interesting. So, it the U.S., we would call such a person a General Contractor. The person in the building industry who coordinates all the various building trades to get the building built.
Also, if you're a glass installer, you might feel its a best practice to put the heavier end on the bottom. It'll make the pane feel more stable because being top-heavy is like asking for gravity to take your glass and shatter it.

With today's production methods and quality control, we really don't have this issue. Glass panes are pretty consistent, but from the point of view of some 18th century carpenter, you probably had to deal with a lot of inconsistent glass panes.

Execline is a little mindbending at first, but a really nice way to write scripts for launching other programs.
If it's not bash it shouldn't run that. It's not about detecting bash, but the vulnerability.
Do any other shells do it? Afaik it's not part of the POSIX sh spec. So any script that does it is going to be extremely dependent on bash in particular.

It would take actual use cases to convince me it's not a terrible idea. No matter what it's a mechanism to throw arbitrary code into a script that has no say in it. This is not the sort of thing you should do because it seems cool, it should be the sort of thing you do because of a really compelling use case that necessitates it. The fact that afaik no other shell has implemented this behaviour since bash did (a couple of decades ago if I understand correctly?) would rather suggest there is a lack of need for this.
Jimmy Pardo's 'Never Not Funny' has a model that works for them. They offer a free podcast through Earwolf and subscribers can pay for a second podcast and video of all podcasts. They've been with Earwolf for less than a year but they've been around and profitable for over a decade.
I've never had to work for tips, but I would HATE to have a profit-maximizing corporation be in charge of how much I get paid in entirely optional cash that has 0 impact on them.
Ah. From being on the other end of hiring decisions, my general advice would be to aim high on initial conversations and gauge reactions + adjust downwards from there. You can always adjust down, hard to adjust up!
I actually try to do mostly weight training.. I mostly did the 150 Pushup challenge (I think I actually got closer to 175) for fun.. I guess to try to push myself to see if I could do it.. But yeah there are probably more effective ways of building strength & muscle..
Right -- while the non-salary benefits are part of the package, so are the working conditions, team, and details of the work, opportunities for advancement, etc. Interview processes are two-sided, and whether and at what salary you are willing to take a job depends on information you aren't going to have when you talk to the HR person at first (and which they aren't going to be able to provide you useful information on, either.)
Everyone starts somewhere. Now who's pompous. :)

There are a few ways to try and discover what your market rate is.

The first method is a set of websites or statistics that you can find pretty easily. You'll hear Glassdoor and Salary.com as a couple examples. Some schools might have data on their past graduates. I know that Carnegie Mellon [1] publishes their data, which includes the employer a graduate joined, the location, and some compensation data.

Unfortunately, much of what you'll find is anonymously self-reported, and when people self-report salary information they are probably more likely to exaggerate up than exaggerate down.

A second method of getting numbers on market rate is from talking to people. For you, that may be other graduates who have already landed jobs or people that graduated last year who may be willing to share what they were paid. Recruiters who work local markets are also a good resource for this information, as they actually see the job offers and are likely to have more accurate figures than the self-reported data seen on salary websites.

As for overestimating or underestimating, most people here are going to tell you to never give a number first. Negotiation is described as having a winner and a loser, and if you don't get the maximum amount someone was willing to spend than you lost. There isn't a clear way to determine how much someone would have spent, so approaching negotiation in this win/lose manner isn't all that useful.

Someone who knows the market rate for their experience and skills is in a much better position, and someone with a long track record of successful employment that knows their market rate is completely set and more able to use tactics in negotiating that are being offered to you here in this thread. Unfortunately, you (as an entry-level candidate) won't typically have that same amount of leverage or power in negotiations, as entry-level candidates are generally considered more homogenous.

In other words, if a company finds an entry-level candidate being somewhat 'difficult' (for lack of a better word), they may take the attitude that there may be 10 other entry-level candidates who won't be. I'm not saying you shouldn't negotiate - in many cases you should, and in some cases you shouldn't (most obvious being when a company offers you what you requested or even more than you requested).

Last bit of advice - if and when you give your number, don't follow it with anything. Entry-level candidates have a tendency to state a number, and if there is even a few seconds of delay by the other party they add "but that is negotiable". Don't do that. There is an article on that a few weeks ago [2] that explains a bit more.

I'm curious how this isn't true in pretty much all environments. I guess I can understand how it might be heightened in vim. I can't think of anything that would prevent it elsewhere though. (There is also the odd incentive to have all plugins well written if the affect is pronounced.)
It's also not a given that they actually go through with assigning proper gratuities.

The success model for startups these days is deceit and breaking laws. If a startup is claiming to be the "Uber of <blah>", I interpret that as a company which thinks being disruptive means breaking laws and screwing people over for the sake of growth and attempting to make good on the outrageously high investments they receive.

What I'm looking for is concrete proof that over the long run, not just in a recruitment surge, therapists end up making a living as good as or better than when they're employed by a spa. If that's not the case, then this is simply another widener of the wealth gap in this country.
Heya. I'm the author of Rebuilding Rails. While I don't (currently) use paid advertising, I do work entirely to appeal to geeks. My second product, a Ruby deployment class, also appeals almost entirely to geeks.

Geeks pay money for things. Not always, but it happens.

That means that the shift of content away from geeks is to some extent in the hands of you (collectively), those same geeks.

And me. I don't just sell to geeks. I'm also a geek who pays money for things aimed at geeks.

You do too, if you think about it.

Many of those things can be advertised. For an example, think about ThinkGeek.
Seems almost insulting to not mention the scores of podcasts and podcast networks that have been making money for years. This makes it sound like you can only make money if you started in Old Media and made the transition.
This incorrectly flags primary mail server as insecure if secondary server is unreachable.
Your greatly misrepresenting the situation. A friend worked as a lawyer for the SEC for years and as he put it, the regulations are generally sensible and straightforward, the issue is your regulating people with money which have lot's of ways to apply pressure. At the same time stepping outside of regulations generally makes you money in the short term, so nobody want's to play by even vary minimal rules.

There's no problem with the word. The problem is with people overusing it, most of the time as a synonym for unemployed.

And no, if you're working on a cool project/idea that no one is using, that still doesn't make you an entrepreneur.

This article has a bit more detail on how the sortation centers actually work:

http://multichannelmerchant.com/opsandfulfillment/warehouse/...

tl;dr: They move packages from their distribution centers to one of these "sortation centers" (they may be co-located, it's hard to tell from either article). From the sortation center they truck packages directly to the USPS distribution center (DDU) closest to the customer, and then the USPS carries the package on the last leg to the customer. This means they bypass UPS/FedEx/DHL/OnStar in favor of USPS's much cheaper non-express rates because it sounds like once a package is at the DDU it will be in the customer's hands same or next day.

Edit: I believe this is how FedEx SmartPost works as well. FedEx does the merchant -> DDU leg and then USPS takes it the rest of the way.
That's not quite an accurate summation--the issue was that handoff between incompatible standards caused delays, and had to be fixed.

I wonder the legal implications this is going to have regarding prostitution. I don't say this is intentional from the part of soothe's creators, but they will have to deal with (and accepting the legal liabilities of) an issue that is already there (fake massage parlors offering sexual services).
The environment of the FED sounds more like the paternal architecture of the military:

Just the opposite: The Fed encourages its employees to
keep their heads down, to obey their managers and to
appease the banks. That is, bank regulators failed to do
their jobs properly not because they lacked the tools but
because they were discouraged from using them.

Voice of reason. The "ad-free version of X" never worked... unless it's self-hosted and enthusiast-made. Here, we still see people wanting to make profit for themselves and the VCs and that's fine, but this is not how you build an "(ad-)free version of X"! Look at http://withknown.com - it's open-source and still offers a free hosted version. Will it survive? Who knows, but worst-case scenario, they can let people self-host in a case of running out of money to support hosting and only use the old URL for CNAMEs costing them nothing. So, no open-source, no, thanks!
Top Bloggers of India who are earning in Millions
I've countered with more than 50%, and ended up at 50% over the initial offer, though in general I agree with you. 50% up on advertised range or on what the recruiter indicates their range is, on the other hand is far easier. The top end of their stated range is lower than what they're prepared to stretch to.

When I joined Yahoo a decade ago, for example, I ended up accepting an offer 40% over the top of the advertised range, after demanding more. When they gave me the 40% offer, they apologised that they really couldn't go higher (it'd push me too far up over some other people in the department) and offered me more options instead, and guaranteed me a review after 6 months instead of 12 to bump me up further (which they did).

I've never taken a job at only 5%-10% above initial offer, and don't think I ever will - I know from my own hiring that we're always prepared to stretch more than that if we've first decided on a candidate.
I am going to guess this is a silicon valley hang up because of people being funded. He kind of makes that point towards the end of the article. If you are someone who starts a business the traditional way, win or fail, I think you earned the right to be called an entrepreneur. You are taking a big risk which is scary and invigorating at the same time.
I think Amazon did do a lot to help that issue last year by, frankly, giving customers a deadline by which packages won't arrive by Christmas.

It wasn't subtle either, it was in big bold letters (they might have sent out an email too) that more or less said "Order by X or it won't arrive by Christmas day."

It is both interesting and scary if Amazon moved into the delivery business. It both seems like a natural progression of their business model but also scary in the sense that it might drive one of the other delivery companies out of business and result in even more Amazon dominance.

Note that there is just a consensus that a supermassive blackhole is at the center of galaxies --it's a "maybe, presumed, likely", as it is with just any other black hole.

If you check the wikipedia page you link, it says:

> A blazar is a very compact quasar (quasi-stellar radio source) associated with a presumed supermassive black hole at the center of an active, giant elliptical galaxy

All we can say with confidence is that there is something massive and dense --doesn't mean the only explanation is a black hole.

Do you want to make automated tests or just to have devices lying around for your devs ?

If these devices will only be used for dev-testing, think about including chargers. Nothing is worse than having to wait half an hour that a device recharge in order to solve a critical bug.

If you want to create a functional test lab, keep in mind that it should be easy to access to the cables and to plug/unplug devices.
Preneur comes from "prendre" which means to take. So a more literal translation would be an undertaker, not as someone who manages burials, but undertakes something.

In Germany many podcasts use Flattr.com (http://flattr.com/) as a form of microdonations. While this service can be used for basically anything that has a website, podcasts tend to make up a significant portion of the flattrs, it seems.
Interestingly in the US sponsored podcasts seem to be dominant, while in Germany the ad-free and donation based form (or funded by public radio) is probably the majority.

Does anybody know the reason why microdonations never really gained traction in the US?
