Although I understand how you feel, I think OP's point was a bit more meaningful: Calling it "sanitizing" leads some programmers to try to "clean up" the input -- but instead they should contain it. And when they tr

Although not a quick read, the go-to analysis of this is "Entrepreneurs Are the New Labor" [^1]. On this theory, the balance of power has shifted to investors, who prefer founders from an institution. And perhaps a certain generat

Your question and many of the comments so far tend to focus on the CTO. I'd like to focus on your co-founder, the "CEO". If he wanted to start with a less-experienced technical person, and jettison them early on -- he could h

Agreed. Usually the motivation to have someone like Rice on your board, is to have more government connections, for the purpose of not doing what the government wants. i.e. Influencing the government, as opposed to it influencing you. Edi

At least this article is better than CBS 60 Minutes lately. Their version would be something like, "Jeff Bezos pioneers a way to translate your brain waves into drone deliveries, and there's no need to worry about the NSA viewing

Thanks for explaining that. So maybe a feature-request for hackerone would be, don't auto-disclose on Fridays; instead bump to Monday. :)

"Is it too late?" For what outcome? If you set the bar at "regain their 1990s level dominance", yeah that probably won't ever happen. But so what? Given where they're at, an outcome such as "don't end

Also, maybe my time zones are wrong, but it seems like the engineer changed the bug status to "disclosed" late in the day Friday? A corollary: Don't do sh*t late Friday that will fester over the weekend. It makes me mental wh

I agree with your general point. So maybe the following is the exception that proves the rule, but: An acoustic piano has 88 keys, and classical or jazz piano music tends use many of them. Whereas a 60 key electronic keyboard is often subje

Although I haven't done this sort of thing myself, it seems like it might not be quite that simple. The most recent thread I could find about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7330107

I'm conflicted. "Two wrongs don't make a right". So yes maybe the Match CEO donated to similar causes in Utah, but do we really want to go down that road? I don't. What I would like to see happen -- not vindictively

Although I like this idea, I wouldn't want this feature to get prioritized over making the layout "responsive" on mobile browsers. (I've tried a few HN "apps" on both iOS and Android. Either they reinvent the U

Once upon a time, OKCupid had amazing blog posts with fascinating analyses of their data. The blog posts stopped. Match.com acquired them. And their data-centric roots seemed to have eroded badly. The message they put up -- "If individ

Actually, with respect to civil rights, acts of omission matter >= acts of commission. Therefore the POTUS withholding support is a far, far greater impact than some dude contributing $1000. Yet I imagine a super-majority of the people

One option is to put the Chromebook in dev mode and use Crouton[^1] to install Ubuntu as a chroot. It's easy to do and works well. You can use ChromeOS as usual side by side. [1]: https://github.com/dnschneid/crout

Thanks, that's really helpful advice. I'm going to call this The Dead Kennedys principle of monetizing open source.

That's a very astute observation. As that Dead Kennedys album title says, Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death . Most people most of the time won't care enough to do anything. You only need to redirect the energy of the 5% who ca

Apologies if this is OT, but does anyone have link(s) to a "Making Money From Open Source for Dummies" guide? The only options I'm aware of: 1. Donations. 2. "Open core" or "freemium" model. 3. Paid books

Many Americans have an unhealthy obsession with a cycle of public shaming and redemption. Wanting to see a public figure fall, rehab, and be forgiven. It's a bizarre mashup of public executions and Easter resurrection mythology. There&

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hotel chains like Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott, Ritz Carlton, etc. are franchisers. The company may own and operate a few hotels itself, but the vast majority are owned and operated by third parties. The hotel c

Also, it's a weird comparison because Haskell is one, crisply-defined thing -- but what does he mean by "Lisp"? Common Lisp? Scheme? Racket? Clojure? Does Dylan count? The only Lisp he mentions specifically is Emacs' Eli

As a founder I loved to get feedback like this. Was I proud of some feature or design that I'd worked hard on? That's nice, but if it's not working for customers, it's not working. Swallow pride, move on. Although that

I actually meant that as, "I hope he doesn't read this stuff about him on Hacker News". I'm sorry it was unclear. Unfortunately it's too late to edit my comment.

Re "manager", yes I was being mostly tongue in cheek; I recently re-read The Gervais Principle and was thinking of Sociopaths. :) http://www.ribbonfarm.com/the-gervais-principle/
