mwerty··on Ask HN: Founder selling some shares
Suggestion: let them sell X% of their vested shares as well. Ive heard of a company that did this with X=10. You could buy it from them too if investors do not see the value in cashing them out.
mwerty··on Wharton professor says America should shorten the work day by 2 hours
What do you eat?
mwerty··on Why I never finish my Haskell programs
Could you give examples of algorithms done wrong?
mwerty··on Ask HN: How do you all deal with lack of motivation?
I changed my goal to something more immediate - getting out of the funk and focused all my attention on that. The obstacle is the way.
mwerty··on Zapper: A Very Fast Templating Engine
More context: "At the moment, Zapper’s two biggest limitations are that it does not currently support conditional rendering or nested templates (like foreach loops over the elements of an interior list). Zapper could be extended to support those things, I just haven’t implemented them yet. Due to the design of Zapper, those features should have effectively no performance impact on templates that choose not to use them, which is nice."
mwerty··on Ask HN: How do you manage your manager?
Not sure how pathological your situation is - 'thick skin' seems a cover-up for a lack of managerial accountability and you might not see it give your position inside the organization but this may help: https://www.amazon.com/48-Laws-Power-Robert-Greene/dp/014028...

Best of luck.

mwerty··on GitTorrent: A Decentralized GitHub (2015)
I’m waiting for gitcoin.
mwerty··on Facebook reportedly plans to launch its own cryptocurrency
I agree with the comment on zero overlap currently. However, I look at it more like google and android. Perhaps fb feels that it is better to have some voice in the crypto/blockchain ecosystem than none.
mwerty··on The Shirky Principle (2010)
Will do but I was asking for suggestions, not permission.
mwerty··on The Shirky Principle (2010)
Where would you start? Wikipedia says he wrote more than 70 books. Thanks.
mwerty··on Congrats Dropbox
Feels like the “I’m a Mac, I’m a pc” ad.
mwerty··on The British Once Built a 1,100-Mile Hedge Through the Middle of India
Not too different from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Tea_Party
mwerty··on Malicious software libraries found in PyPI posing as well known libraries
How about a Levenshtein distance threshold for new package names to be accepted? I.e only allow names that are different enough from the existing set to avoid typos (or whatever errors we are trying to guard against)?
mwerty··on Why I joined Microsoft
Reminds me of http://www.fakesteve.net/2009/11/hell-hath-no-fury-like-a-bo...
mwerty··on Gorram: go run for any go function
This is really neat - anyone know of a python equivalent?
mwerty··on Seven Puzzles You Think You Must Not Have Heard Correctly (2006) [pdf]
I must be missing something. Couldn't one instead assume that they have a private notebook and a pen? And that they can tell left from right? Seems more reasonable.
mwerty··on I'm bullish on hedge funds
Seth Klarman seems to pass GP's filter (as do some other Value Investors).
mwerty··on Yahoo Webscope: a reference library of interesting and useful datasets
I applied a while ago (Jan 14) for their news feed dataset and have not heard back. Does anyone here know the average turn around time? Also does it make a difference if you are a professor/ phd student?

Thank you

mwerty··on Dropbox Deprecating the Sync and Datastore APIs
Any commitment for the core Api? 2 years? 3 years?
mwerty··on Major Changes in SAT Announced by College Board
Not sure what you are saying. The claim is that you could have done better had you really tried and taking courses is one way of doing that.
mwerty··on Tell HN: Startup school acceptance emails are out
Here
mwerty··on We are just getting started
My take is that its the facebook platform minus facebook.
mwerty··on Celery (YC S12) Lets Sellers Accept Pre-Orders, Charge When Ready
Do they store card numbers?
mwerty··on Challenge to PG/YC
I seriously hope for YC's sake that PG has better things to do with his time than an n=1 experiment.
mwerty··on What I Wish I Knew When Learning Haskell
I first learnt Haskell ten years ago for a class. Mostly toy problems. Looking to get back into it. What books are good to learn to build actual apps - especially user input, UI, etc.?
mwerty··on How chronic pain has made me happier
I had chronic pain for eight years before the Mayo clinic suggested Vitamin D. I'm fine now.
mwerty··on Cisco acquires Meraki: how 3 guys from MIT transformed the networking industry
What do they mean by multitenancy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitenancy - this?
mwerty··on Code iOS Apps in OCaml
Is there a Haskell equivalent?
mwerty··on California Proposes Rules For Autonomous Cars
Are there companies working on this besides Google?
mwerty··on What HN users don't mean to be
"Don't get me wrong."

I have to suppress "Then why don't you say it right?"
