Canadian immigration rules are changing multiple times a year nowadays, and they're doing so without much regard for anyone currently in the process. While the rules themselves are on par with Australia / NZ (= much easier than US), the transition is not well thought out. CIC's CEC quota screwup of late 2014 is just one of many examples. Students, PNP nominees, TFWs have all been screwed in different ways in 2014. While CIC touts shorter processing times for select categories, they're often using MagicMath. For many categories of applicants processing times doubled to quadrupled last year.
Ask HN: Will Intel phones let me release my own phone?
I have my own next gen phone concept that I want to try out.

Will the new breed of Intel phones [1] let me have a debian/fedora/etc like dev workflow or will I have to worry about copyright, etc issues with firmware blobs and stuff like that? If so, how is that allowed with the GPL'd Linux kernel?

"Pao and Nazre were both partners."

This glosses over a significant problem. Partners are stratified like professors at univesrity.

The issue about resolving any conflict by the junior-status person taking up with a new employer is not controversial. Its basically common practice and common sense.

So there is no real crux to this other than someone stating the obvious.

The logic is the same if the senior person is of either sex. Once you cross the line of having a marriage you have a legal obligation to that person that can create a conflict of interest. You also have a lack-of-diversity in income that could cause a cascading financial issue if that conflict of interest ever materialized in an adverse way.

So, by resignation and re-employment with anotehr firm you eliminate the conflict and diversify the income base. You do this whist protecting the largest income stream with the lowest risk strategy (doing nothing) and by taking the risk (of change/finding a new job) with the smaller (and by implication less valuable) revenue stream.

Again, has nothing to do with sexism. The roles could easily be reversed and the logic would still be the same.

The actual relationship of testosterone levels – natural or supplemented – on aggression is quite a bit murkier than, and perhaps even the opposite of, common folklore. See for example:

Note one of the interesting results mentioned there: telling people they got testosterone made them make less-fair offers in a negotiation game... while actually administering testosterone resulted in fairer offers.
why angular? because once you understand the framework it's totally RAD. You can build complex applications in a matter of hours , and you don't even have to think about the app architecture , everything has to be in a certain place. AngularJS comes with a lot of battery included and for every task there is an angular module.

Why not angular ? hmm i'd say , the angular team fucked up with version 2.x announcement. I personally don't like this atScript/Typescript thing ,It's no longer safe to begin an angular project that will have to be maintained for years as devs don't really know if angular 1.x will still be maintained by Google 2,3,4,5 years from now.

With 1.x if you were into jQuery plugins, you could easily include them into any angular project which makes development really easy. You don't need to write classes or stuff like that, just write a function , put a bit of markup into the HTML and voila, you have a functional angularJS app.

I'm still using angularjs because it's just the best MVC framework out there.React isn't a framework but a view engine. React doesn't solve any architectural problem other than the view.

(throwaway account)

I really, really dislike this method. If there's a problem employee, deal with that employee. Don't send blanket emails to everyone. It (in my experience) does not work since the person that's actually doing something offensive usually doesn't realize it, and it just confuses all other people working into wondering if they somehow are to blame.

This tactic seems to be really common where I work, and all it seems to lead to is confusion and anger with management because they're unclear. It's as if everyone is being lectured for something one person did.

If I've said something inappropriate, please let me know. If not, leave me out of it so I don't have to worry that I might have. This stuff creates a lot of unneeded stress. It's one of the reasons I'm looking for a new job. Seriously.
The only way for low-income individual to get a valid prescription is to go to the doctor, which is expensive. I guess there's a law in US that prohibits selling drugs without prescription. But if you know what medication you need then you don't have a choice but to pay for a doctor visit. For example, in Ukraine absolute majority of medications can be bought without prescription (except medications that are used by drug-addicts).

Why Are There So Few Black Investors?
I think you discovered your answer in your last paragraph. The question being: why did your attractive female friend accept the dinner invitation from creepy lawyer guy? Every society has certain expectations of its members, and most current societies think of marriage or relationships as being "the" natural state to be in. i.e. if you're single, you're either a "player" or a "loser", you can't just be...happily single. And from speaking to my female friends, that pressure seems even worse for them.

The result is that most people, men and women, will give a shot at anything that might lead to a relationship.

This is an excellent article - many of my mentors have guided me not to pursue funding for as long as possible, until I'm cash flow positive, etc and its great to see a discussion on HN reinforcing this sentiment. In a day and age when so much can be accomplished with just a laptop (git push heroku master), I am surprised bootstrapping is not a bigger topic of conversation.
In the case we are talking about, presumably, some version of this took place.

But yeah, I am really just trying to make a broader point that I think people should just part ways when they have personal disagreements, rather than sue one another. And I think the law should reflect that expectation, rather than working the way it works now.

It is a reductio ad absurdum (having all-male or all-female companies is the absurdum).

Your conflating standard "harrassment" with "sexual harassmenet" they are not at all the same thing.

Sexual harassment requires (by the definition you cite) things of a a sexual nature to be integral to the harassment.

But that's not the same thing as assigning somebody busy work or whatever. That's just being an a$$hat of a colleague.

Per your definition:

Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment ===when===

-submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment,

-submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individuals, or

-such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment. (29 C.F.R. § 1604.11 [1980])

Lots of people are jerks at work, and lots of people are jerks to their ex, but neither are per-se sexual harassment under the third bullet point.
Depend on your startup's industry and where you customers are going to be. BC may be a good place for media and entertainment startup as there are lot of such companies, small and large, in BC.

Overall, I don't believe Canada offers anything positive w.r.t. to startup and business. The local market is too small and your primary market and customers most likely will be in USA. Though salaries are lower in Canada, the regulatory and taxation cost is very high specially if you are going to have employees and office.

Most Canadian companies, based on my experience in Eastern Canada, form a US subsidiary with mailing address typically in New Hampshire. Most of the investors in early stage companies are "old" money so the threshold to raise any angel/seed money will be much higher specially for businesses investors may not understand and there is too much focus on financials rather than opportunity. There is scarcity of tech-success founders supporting the local startup scenes, I saw more of them in Bay area instead of Toronto/Ottawa.

I don't know how things have changed in last 10 years in Canada, may be a tech bubble is bubbling there too right now. But when I last tried to start a company in Toronto, 12 years ago, I didn't have any positive experience, in the end I landed up moving to US permanently.

i think there is a line to be drawn.. If the ORM is saving you no effort, I fully agree. However, I suspect most ORMs in the short term boost early productivity quite a bit.

It's like writing an app from scratch in assembly, versus C.. The compiler will do quite a bit of the dirty work for you, and if you look at it in a disassembler no doubt you could find tons of improvements to be made (errmmm depending on the compiler I suppose). Doesn't mean either one is the wrong way to go about it. Now if all you do is stuff ASM code in your C app, yeah.. Why bother?
> It's damning that you say it took 20 years for us to "start" to leverage JavaScript's power.

If that's true, then Lisp is surely triply damned, as it's older than 60 and it's safe to say that most working programmers in the industry don't know how to leverage its power.

Or, since you brought up Ruby, the industry by and large didn't care about its existence for roughly the first decade of its life, though I suppose that's only half-damned.

One might reasonably conclude that what a language has to offer is only tenuously connected to whether a critical mass of industrial programmers knows how to work in it and take advantage of everything it has.

> Compare to C#, which appeared 15 years ago, or Go which is from 2009, or Swift, which hasn't even celebrated its first birthday yet.

Since a comparison has been invited:

- C# is an iteration of an iteration of an already industry accepted paradigm (and the first iteration's uptake is considerably more impressive).

- Go is more or less the same thing, except they took out a lot of industry accepted paradigms (and enough people are actually complaining loudly about some of the removed bits that I think Go's uptake is going to plateau more quickly).

- Swift is a super interesting case and maybe the best comparison to JS of all of these -- familiar syntax but with enough differences that are going to be unfamiliar that some developers would probably freak out and resist... if its only real competition weren't Objective C (so of course it's doing well :b) and its target market weren't already familiar with the underlying Cocoa libraries (which are almost 30 now).

- C# and Swift were both released by deeply entrenched market-bendingly powerful industry patrons who were decades old (this shoe nearly fits golang, too).

By contrast, JavaScript was released by a company barely a year old in an emerging market. A partner (another decades old entrenched player) of the neophyte company wanted the language nerfed and positioned as a toy, and got some of what it wanted. It was created very quickly. Within a year or two of release, tens of thousands of amateurs and professionals were doing something with it, most without having ever bothered to learn the specifics of the language at all. Within five years, thousands were actually doing reasonably complex applications with it. At about 10 years (right around the age Rails mania starts to hit the industry, right?) is when some significant portion of the industry starts to take notice that things like Google Maps can be built and (some) people start to consider that maybe if they actually took the time to learn the language and platform, they could do neat things too....

I'd say JavaScript fares pretty well by a number of standards for comparison.

Not to say it couldn't be improved; it is being improved. Better error messages and stack traces are great ideas, type hinting could work out too.

The Linux Foundation Takes on Linus Torvalds
Yeah, I agree with this. I worked at a big software company with big open office spaces. I really didn't experience the constant frustration with interruptions -- I didn't feel it much and I didn't hear other people grumble about it too much, either. Everyone understood that asking questions makes the whole group more efficient, and everyone appreciated getting a chance to help their teammates.

Lots of people are commenting to your post and others about the inefficiency of frequently interrupted work, but I actually think the efficiency argument runs the other way. let's say I'm working on some problem and I run into some really obscure issue coming up from a system I've never dealt with. I might kill 10 minutes of your productivity by asking you, but I could also easily kill 30 minutes digging into stack traces on various servers I've never heard of before looking for an answer you know off the top of your head.

Also, usually in a fairly close-knit team most people know who is going to be irritated by the interruption and who isn't, and they go to the folks who are friendly about being interrupted. I get these theoretical concerns about open office spaces but in real life I just don't encounter them that often.

My point is simply that the title "partner" in no way confers level playing field (as the earlier commenter implied).

Junior partner is like "associate", its almost meaningless if you are relying on that solely for assement long term career prospects (or whatever).

(eg, in a law firm, associate pay varies widely...even with the same title...promotion track of any particular associate is completely non-transpaternt... etc)
And, as a result, we've created the nightmare situation where we fill the animals we eat with antibiotics since we feed them foods that they're not adapted to eat. Not only are we helping to create antibiotic-resistant superbugs but the antibiotics in food also reduce the beneficial gut bacteria that we need to be healthy.

There was a time when people didn't eat meat with every meal...many people believe it's actually healthier. If people can't afford to eat grass-fed meat with every meal, the simple answer is to not eat meat with every meal...poor people can eat vegetables too and will probably be healthier for it.

I feel like that's a very simplistic way of evaluating progressiveness.

A board of a well known tech company is composed of 3 women, and 6 men. By your metric, that's progressiveness. After all, a third are women. Greater than 0.

Now what if all of them are white. Is that progressive when the population of the U.S. also includes Hispanics, Asians (who make up a sizable % of the tech industry), and Blacks but the board contains none? As a visible minority, I say yes, because women are under-represented and it's fine if sometimes other ethnicities aren't represented.

So by one metric it's not progressive/diverse, but by another it is.

Likewise, if a group happens to be all male but contains visible minorities, is that not an example of being progressive? It's not as if North America is completely color blind and minorities don't endure exclusion from a variety of groups ranging from executive positions to judicial positions to political representation in North America. Being white and male in North America carries a privilege very unlike being Black/Asian/Hispanic and male.

And so yes, I sound like a broken record on this thread but it irks me when people only judge by gender, when ethnicity is a consideration here in the U.S. And when I look at the partners, they have some visible minorities.

But most importantly, when I read their bios, they are clearly very qualified.
That experience with the APIs is very valuable, so your work was definitely worthwhile.

Very few solo, self-funded, consumer-focused SaaS products go anywhere. The number is very close to zero. So it may be a great idea, but it's very hard to get a user base and then monetize it enough to cover your costs.

For this particular concept, I just think most people are using only one social network. The people who are on many are probably power users, and they'll mostly be interested in publishing (e.g. HootSuite).
