Unless I missed something obvious and OP said that s/he has left their company and their options were converted to non-statutory options (NSOs), #1 is not true.

For incentive stock options (ISOs) #1 is not true and the earnings are not taxed as income. However, the earnings generated by your shares ((EV - TP) * #S) will be applied as an adjustment for the purposes of computing your alternative minimum tax (AMT).

Startup employees have ISOs, and are able to exercise them as ISOs until 90 days after they leave.
Run-on sentences are bad style, if I'm any judge. Although, I wonder how much this relies on normal forms and getting normalization wrong.

http://./ is a perfectly valid and very short URL, even though it is highly unlikely anyone (InterNIC? ICANN? Verisign?) would issue an address record for @. On a related note, has anyone seen ccTLDs do something like this (e.g., http://io./, https://co.uk./foo)?
I am not an expert.

That said, based on that article, there appears to be a difference between Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) and Non-Qualified Stock Options. You linked to information on that latter. Here is information on ISOs from Intuit: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/tax-tips/Investments-a...

At a glance, ISOs appear to be more favorable, tax-wise, in the US - they trigger AMT but not "direct" income tax.

Did not convince me.

And as I stated, I read a different (German) source, where definitively other possible correlations where named -- when one group contains clearly more rural people as the other, the whole statement that "no clear rationale" can be found, is questionable in my opinion, even when it is not political correct in some countries, that urban people are living less healthy lives.

This has nothing to do with click-bait or not. It is just very questionable to me, that the study is methodical clean.
If you were granted ISOs (you were an employee and it is still within 90 days from your departure) and they are still available to you as such, exercise them as long as you're comfortable with the risk.

Despite the parent comment, unrealized earnings on the exercise of ISOs are not taxed as income.
The "energy current" when pumping gasoline into a tank is larger than what those achieved by Tesla's Superchargers (which take ~40 minutes to 80%). Thus gas stations can have much larger throughputs than comparably sized Supercharger stations.

Some variation of this could potentially work with the Model S, or Model X, however the Model III will most likely have steel body panels instead of aluminum. I would imagine it would be next to impossible to line up the magnet correctly.
Yeah but that's the same startle reaction you'd get from any large object traveling towards. I bet if you just moved a steel beam at those speeds out at someone and had it track their position like the "dino" seemed to then they'd be startled too.
Cool Java Exploits
So today we found a huge gaping security whole in one of our as of yet unreleased software products. Without going into too many details, due to reasons, and poor offshore outsourcing, it is possible to gain the ability to execute arbitrary code within the running JVM. We've already pretty much confirmed that we can get shell execution by using proc (Runtime.exec gets blocked by the security manager). But regardless, tomorrow, for "research purposes", we are going to take a run at seeing how far we can penetrate the system. Any ideas on some things we should try out. I'll tell you that we are running java on a weblogic server.

Things we've already planned include:
Mapping out the network
Trying to break out of the vm
KeyLogging Passwords
Database Manipulation

P.S. Yes we know how to fix the issue and are. This will never make it to production in this state. This is more of a nice exercise to flex some of our more destructive muscles.

A co-author mentions they need more data. This reminded me of the huge study of diet and health outcomes in China by
T. Colin Cambell of Cornell in the late 1900's.

Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_China_Study
I was watching this tv show about Horder's. The older gentleman collected books. His place needed some cleaning, but his domicile was definitely livable, and didn't look like a health hazard.

Well, his well meaning kids, and Ph.D, along with the army of helpers barged into his home, and gave dad the ultimatum, "Throw out this junk!". He caved in--I think he was tired too? The only thing I really remember from the show was one phrase from this man. He said, "But, a lot of these are first editions?".

The production crew seemed baffled when the dumpster filled with these books would magically empty itself overnight. I recall them saying someting like, 'There's so many Horder's out there? What a travesty?". And the melodramatic music played in the background.

I guess it resonated with me because I collect first edition books?

Let's be honest here, feelings of being devalued have everything to do with putting capital ahead of personality. Capital comes in many forms and in the case of Tinder, from the heterosexual male perspective, the goal is to acquire sexual capital (i.e. "fuck hot chicks").

However, as someone said, the door swings both ways, but the way women devalue men is far more subtle. From the perspective of the heterosexual female, the goal is to acquire mating capital (i.e. "catch a husband or sugar daddy"). What's mating capital? It's a man who is an ideal mate: good genes and conditions to be a provider (good job/career or money/power).

A guy being primarily interested in a woman because she has a great body and a pretty face is really no different than a woman being interested in a financially stable guy with a good job that is taller than her.

The double standard in articles like the one posted is that somehow it's bad if heterosexual men are out to acquire sexual capital but somehow it's totally acceptable for women to seek out mating capital.

How often do you see that it's perfectly acceptable for a women to reject a guy based on his height or the fact that he might be showing early signs of male pattern baldness. I'm tall and still have my hair, so I benefit from such "de-valuing", but I also recognize that for the same crap that guys get judged negatively for.

I recently came out of a relationship where I was clearly not a good fit long term for my partner because we had different values, life goals and lifestyle preferences. For example, I'm poly and she was monogamous. I eventually persuaded her to date another guy, who ended up meeting her needs in all the ways I didn't. Yet she still preferred me because I "had my shit together" and was a better option when it comes to raising a child. Because of that she couldn't imagine being with the other guy.

At the end of the day, heterosexual women treat men as options too. The difference is that the capital that heterosexual women seek in men needs to be far more "durable" value than that which heterosexual men seek in women.

Lots of good discussion on this can be found on bootstrapping forums.

Generally accepted wisdoms is to do 3 price tiers, general at 1x, 1.5x and then 3-5x the base price. Add-ons per tier can be case studies, extra chapters, specific examples, videos, offers for your time, etc.

Most people bought mine at the top tier, which to me signals that I underpriced it by a lot: https://book.serversforhackers.com
You keep on trying to put words in my mouth... I didn't say they had the same capacity for emotions as humans, I said they had feelings and enjoyed being around eachother. Look up sentience, it's largely agreed all mammals are, which is why we have medical boards to review if an experiment is ethical to do on an animal.

I'm well aware that I should take internet forum advice with a grain of salt. But, I thoght that sparking a discussion about the complexities and circumstances in an internet forum that has a very wide, deep pool of experience in this area might shed light on some interesting things. So far, it has.
I've been training in a grappling sport (BJJ) for over 9 years. The advantage a trained person has over an untrained one is massive. Even someone who has been training a few months could easily handle an untrained person without anyone getting hurt.

You can see hundreds of videos out there of police shooting people without apparent just cause - just because they "felt threatened". If they had the confidence they could deal with a physical confrontation if needed, I'm certain the amount of unnecessary shootings would decrease significantly.

Ask HN: How to get started with SaaS?
I'm Computer Science Engineer and have worked as freelancer developer for the past 4 years. My life goal is to make a living running a SaaS business.

Ever since I learnt how to write code my dream has been to have my own SaaS business, however I struggle on finding how to get started with it.

Specially on what regards on finding a viable idea to convert into a SaaS platform.

Any advice on how to get started?
I don't know how odd that is. Windows 10 Mobile isn't released yet, and Windows 10 has been released. Nobody is going to DEVELOP these on Windows Mobile devices, so it still needs to work on Windows 10 for dev and testing. So developers can start working on using this now, and a later update will add phone support, so they can deploy there as well.
It's not dismissal for the sake of dismissal. It's not even dismissal. It's pointing out incongruities in the corporate speech. There was enough specific information in this post by the CEO of Coinbase to at least speculate and seriously consider my scenario.

I was wrong about the possibility of it being a way to push early employees out. It's rather the opposite (duh! that is ostensibly why these ideas are being experimented with); Coinbase may decide that it wants to keep its early employees locked in.

If these actions are being taken in support of employees, why not take a comprehensive approach that solves the entire problem? Or at least actually promise that the entire solution will follow shortly instead of saying it is only being considered.

Anyway, I find the desire to reduce perceived negativity as misguided. The risk of an amplifying echochamber is real. Rather, it seems we should address root causes rather than superficial perceptions.

One thing that I don't quite understand -- what is it about spicy food that makes it desirable? Esp. the super hot peppers? I know that I love them, but I can't really say why (after all, I normally try to avoid pain). The only thing I can think of is that part of the brain knows that the pain isn't "real" (that is, it isn't being caused by something that is damaging you), yet another part is releasing endorphins to counteract the pain, causing a mild euphoria. But I haven't really found much information to back up this theory.

I do know that at times when I get a spell of mild depression, munching on some hot peppers seems to pull me out of it.
I believe that I do. I don't know exactly what the relationship of what I read is to the home page because I use an RSS reader.
The one marked as winning, by @diegoperini, has problems.

The way it defines passwords is wrong, so you can trick it into accepting almost anything by putting the domain somewhere else:

re_weburl.test("http://127.0.0.1/")
=> false
re_weburl.test("http://127.0.0.1/@example.com")
=> true
re_weburl.test("http://999.999.999.999.999/@example.com")
=> true

oops. I disagree that it should be rejecting rfc1918 addresses anyway, because this makes it less useful in an intranet context, where you want those to work.

There's also an apples-to-oranges comparison going on here. The Gruber pattern is not for validation, but for detecting url-like-things in text, which is why it excludes a whole bunch of punctuation chars from appearing at the end - when I say 'google.com.' in text, I mean 'google.com'.

Edited to add: I misremembered suggesting trailing punctuation exclusion to Gruber, what we discussed was xxx.xxx/xxx as an alternate pattern, catching protocol-less shortened urls in tweets.
Since some comments are trying to explain away the findings, here is a quote from the article about what variables were controlled for and the results:

> After controlling for family medical history, age, education, diabetes, smoking and many other variables, the researchers found that compared with eating hot food, mainly chili peppers, less than once a week, having it once or twice a week resulted in a 10 percent reduced overall risk for death. Consuming spicy food six to seven times a week reduced the risk by 14 percent.

> Men pay for sex, women get paid for sex

Some.
Both Apple and MS have been doing that for a while. MS got me when they came out with MS Word, which opened formats from just about every other word processor - Wordperfect being the main one. Apple got me when they introduced Bootcamp and I was able to run both OSs on one machine. Slowly but surely it got to be a pain to keep booting back and forth and I switched to OSX.

I'd imagine it's a similar story for a lot of us out there, just different apps, libraries, dev tools, etc, luring us back and forth between the various operating systems. I wonder if I could be lured back to the MS side?!

As a former Netscapee, I'm probably first in line to call foul on Microsoft's Embrace-Extend-Extinguish strategy (See how much damage Active Directory did to Universal LDAP support - ever try and run Outlook/Windows domain on anything but a Microsoft Directory Server?) - but that's an old war. And it's over. The beginning started in 2007 with the release of the iPhone (some such as Benedict Evans might suggest the transition to Web Apps was the beginning, but IE tried to corner that market by injecting Active-X everywhere) and Android. Microsoft failed to release a high-quality mobile solution quickly enough, and the transition to mobile effectively ended the Microsoft Hegemony. The War was officially over with the departure of Balmer, and official declaration of defeat occurred when Nadella wrote off the vast majority of the Nokia acquisition.

In order to compete, Microsoft now has to play on, and support, platforms which it does not, and never will, control.

It's taking a while for me to adjust (16 years?), but I have to say - I really like this new Microsoft, and I'm looking forward to the great things that they are going to do now that they are no longer the Monopolistic behemoth that they were for so many years.
Well, not quite. systemd and all other process managers supervises OS processes, Erlang only supervises its own VM processes which are green M:N threads. Though one could in principle supervise an OS process as a port driver, you will need to wrap POSIX/Win32/$PLATFORM semantics to do it to the fullest extent.

OS-level virtualization is also completely orthogonal.

it depends on how bad your apnea is. If you slept sideways or straight up, gravity wouldn't be pulling your flesh in the right direction to cover your throat.

Sleeping at a reclining angle doesn't completely eliminate the gravity but it lessens the gravitational pull. Depending on each individual case, the decrease in gravitational pull could be enough to stop the flesh from blocking your airway. You should just sleep on some lazy boy couch or something to see if it works before buying.
Parsers can be simple, if the language you are parsing is simple.
