bnt··on Ask HN: My boss lowered my salary to make me more motivated
The main reason why it seems I'm not performing as my CEO expects is because I'm overloaded with work and this is something I've said multiple times over and over again.

Also, my CEO doesn't have enough insight into my work, unlike my superior who I've never had issues with nor was I ever verbally or in written manner told I was falling behind on work.

However, my superior wasn't in the office at the moment this happened and I couldn't get him to stand behind me, but looking at this now (few hours later), the CEO chose the perfect moment to do this.

So, to summarize: I did say I am overloaded, I presented my accomplishments, but the decision was final.

EU member state. I'm going to take your (and some others) advice and will lawyer up. It's not a matter of lowering my pay now, but I openly fear this is the first step to getting me fired.

Great advice about writing down a list of responsibilities and sticking to them. Thanks!

Not a money issue, fresh Series B in the pocket.
bnt··on Facebook Paper's gesture problems
Off-topic: Is Paper (the FB one) US-only? It's not available here in Croatia.
bnt··on Ask HN: How many vacations do you take a year?
EU here. Last year (full-time employment): 12 days in total. 5-6 workdays/week, 9-10hrs/day.
bnt··on Using your computer as little as possible?
After 9-10hrs behind a computer at work, I don't have much need for computers at home. Wver since I started working, I've noticed my social network usage has gone down mostly because I don't want to stare at a screen some more. Same goes for my iPhone. I wanted to upgrade, but seeing I use it for nothing more that calls and messaging, I've opted out.

bnt··on Ask HN: Should I validate a client's idea?
Most people I've talked to don't understand the idea of an MVP and believe EVERYTHING they want in a product is an MVP.
bnt··on Ask HN: Should I validate a client's idea?
I second this. The contract should contain every little bit of functionality the client initially wants - from user registration to where the Twitter and Facebook icons will be on the homepage.

For some reason new emails aren't shown in the Notification center, nor any other indicator of a new email (iOS6).

Emails are shown cut off (if too wide, like this PhpFog announcement that they are killing off that brand in favor of AppFog)

Multiple account support (finally!) without a unified inbox?

And finally, I miss (Android style) swiping left-right to see other emails.
