Yeah, it's nothing new, but it continues to amuse in a rather depressing way. How long until the general public accepts disruption of the status quo as the new status quo? Are we dreaming to think that that will actually happen, are change

But that's the culture we've created, isn't it? Is my comment inaccurate? The "tech startup" has become a different animal from a general "new company," largely due to greatly reduced overhead and initial costs. There are still "new compani

Right. So my proposal is to offer more equity. Yours is a higher salary. I think we're mostly in agreement. My view is that a startup is inherently risky and unstable. I think it makes more sense for everyone to share fully in that (risk an

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the kinds of companies in question normally don't have the capital to offer that kind of compensation. That's why I added the edit to my comment: the employees should certainly get to share in the reward as comp

> ...while the 40-year-old is thinking, "kid, if I wanted to take on that kind of risk and insanity, I'd have your job". So what made that 40-year-old think he wanted to work for the startup in the first place? if the founder's position

There is a 'source code' link at the bottom that leads to https://github.com/antirez/lamernews , which looks mostly the same with a different stylesheet, so I think they did save that effort ;) And FWIW, Telescope may preserve the function

But those X's do exist, if only temporarily. At any given time, you probably are an X programmer, and a community around X is useful to you. People may drop in and out, but it's still a (potentially) valuable resource.

This is slightly off-topic, but since everybody's commenting about it anyway: Was Google Reader (and Posterous, to a lesser extent) the tipping point for awareness and activism surrounding the shutdown of free services? This could be a big

>Like any big corporation, SxSW has come to embody the very people and industry they once aimed to disrupt. They’ve made spontaneity illegal (literally) and lost that sense of passion and experimentation. Holy wow, overreact much? Sorry

His main issues with solid food are the time and energy devoted to acquiring, preparing, and eating it. This cuts down on all of that, as well as cost. Nutritionally, being equivalent to a well-balanced diet meets his goals.

I wonder if this disparity only arises at the high end of intellect/education. Below that, I find men and women to be indistinguishable in terms of what kind of beliefs and thoughts they will hold (gender-related issues aside). But, it does

The Gmail app is slick, but extremely slow for me (on iPhone 5), as in "it's really annoying every time I use this app but I've moved away from native Mail and inertia is a hell of a thing." Other people I've talked to have had similar expe

You're being very defensive about the difficulty thing. How many times do I need to see that youtube link and a variation on "no seriously, it's too hard"? It's not "very hard." Sure, some people don't get it, but then what are the chances

Is it actually self-flagellation? A less dramatic description would be "introspection." You could also replace "agonize" with "think about," etc. I think it's healthy to explore these thoughts, as long as it doesn't consume you. The trouble

Nailed it. It's a way to extend an invitation with minimal vulnerability. I wouldn't agree that it's necessarily "for cowards," probably because I tend to employ similar strategies. When I recognize it in communication from someone else, I

> There is no Internet culture Seriously? Your comment is largely hyperbolic animosity. Yeah, I get that endless image macros and memes are seen as a low-brow form of culture, but "internet culture" is very real and goes way beyond that

They have made public statements on their blog, and hopefully that will continue. In this situation, I think it is the right move to avoid getting involved with this shameless law firm trying to incite drama for their own gain.

Wow, seriously? This is way over the top and unnecessarily snide ("Heroku...supposedly assists web application developers"). Stop Heroku? Pretty sure nobody's gonna get on board with that. What is it even trying to accomplish? As far as I c

Yeah, except (almost) nobody looks at the code. In both cases (designer and developer), most people just see the end result. In other words, I don't think Layervault would feel any different if there was a comment in the HTML giving them at

Ok, that's one data point. Without further explanation, that's hardly an indictment of the business model. They could have failed for any number of reasons.

Funny that your startup's website ( http://mediashock.me/ ) looks exactly like bootstrap and everything else. You're doing an awesome job representing dropout 20 year olds ( http://codefoe.com/ ).

I understand why people want to write about the death of the mouse and keyboard - it's been around unchanged for a while and tech is now a hype-based "what's next" culture - but it's always just a bunch of hand-waving and name-dropping expe

Are they really that fruitless, as a rule? As ck2 pointed out, the other side of this coin is "we skimped on design in favor of moving fast and shipping, and now we have an unfocused product with a janky architecture that will be near impos
