Also these two:

Director of IT - Santa Clara, CA http://barefootnetworks.applytojob.com/apply/IEwpj0eIQP/Dire...

Financial Analyst / Cost Accountant - Santa Clara, CA http://barefootnetworks.applytojob.com/apply/bbrh2iS57R/Fina...

I've been with the company almost a year now and really enjoying it but my experience will be different to yours as I work with the team out of the UK developing some of the program visualisation tools. The Santa Clara office, where most of the jobs are based, is rather stunning, but my experience of US start-up offices is limited to just that one.

One of the pieces of advice I did not heed from my Dad was to try and save/invest 30% of your salary. This one is hard to understand until you are in your 40s and realise you are probably going to continue to work well into your 50s.

I love my job, but I'm now involved a lot more in the political arena, knowing I can make a difference there, but being held back. 'Having' to hold down a job is getting in the way.

I'm at peace with the choices I made but I also recognise I could not be working now if I'd been a bit more prudent.

Do you find that calling a large number of people foolish generates a useful discussion, either on Twitter or on Hacker News?

Generally no, but it didn't start out that way. I just highlighted the oddity that a political party that relies on old people was implementing policies that were accelerating the death rates of their core voter group, and that this seemed to be an odd thing to do.

I was then accused of making a shameful statement. Data is data. Policy decisions have impact.

For example, when the government introduced mandatory seat belts, there was a rise in the number of pedestrians killed. People wearing seatbelts felt safer driving faster.

I watch what the USA is doing with healthcare, and I see this type of model being foisted upon the UK, and it's terrifying.

I recently got into a twitter spat suggesting that it was foolish of the Conservatives to be reducing spending in social services and the NHS as this was directly attacking their voter base as 70% of pensioners vote Conservative and a poorer NHS directly impacts pensioners more. There have been some articles indicating an extra 120,000 people have died in the UK due to austerity measures. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/tory-austerity-deat...

So the question is, is this a deliberate unwritten approach to try and kill off 'costlier' members of society? Is it better to encourage people to be fat and die off quicker, than to exercise, eat healthier, live longer, and create a long term social care cost?

I suspect epidemiological analysis the impact of this sort of policy has on a society demonstrates it kills the weak and infirm as well as the financially 'weak' members of society.

Think Norway got it right. Find a resource, tax it and place the tax in a pension fund. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_Pension_Fund_of_Nor... Every resident of Norway is now a millionaire in terms of the social care available to each individual.

Depending on the way drugs are sold, penalties could, and probably should go as high as involuntary manslaughter.

Dealers often misrepresent what they sell, cutting with toxic chemicals, lying about purity or even selling an entire different product. With drugs as potent as opiates, it could mean death. In fact, I think this is the leading cause of death by drug use.

These practices should be much more penalized than just selling the drug, even if both are illegal. Just like armed robbery is more severely punished than shoplifting.

I see a need for a government to facilitate access to clean good quality drugs, taxing them, and providing the support mechanisms to enable people to come off those drugs.

Portugal is the proving ground for this approach http://www.independent.co.uk/news/long_reads/portugal-drug-l...

> Whether we like it or not, people will seek out chemicals to make their day better, be it chocolate, coffee, wine, or heroine.

Its excuse.

Ah the "they are weak" argument. Humans are fallible. Don't judge individuals by your god like ability to only survive on mineral water and lettuce.
