1. The day you exercise, the IRS will tax you income tax on the value between the stock's current value and your strike price. This is true even though you haven't made money from selling the stock yet.

2. If the company is still private, the stock's value is determined by the last 409(A) valuation for Common stock that the company performed, assuming that your options are for Common stock (which is very likely). The company must perform one of these valuations a year and should provide you with that amount upon your request.

3. Exercising the stock starts the clock for long term capital gains treatement. That is, if you sell the stock a year after exercising it, you will pay capital gains tax on the value difference between the sell price and the value at exercise.

Math wise:

* TP = strike price (the price in your option contract at which you buy the shares)

* EV = value of a share at exercise time, as determined by the latest 409A valuation

* SP = sale price of a share when you sell the stock eventually

* #S = the number of shares you have

* IT% = Your income tax rate

* CT% = Your long term capital gains rate

At exercise:

- You pay to exercise the shares: #S * TP

- You owe in taxes: #S * (EV - TP) * IT%

At sale

- You make: #S * (SP - TP)

- You owe in taxes, assuming you waited a year to sell: #S * (SP - EV) * CT%
You pay the strike price, and you pay taxes on the difference between the current stock value and the strike price.

For example, if the shares would have been worth $1,000 when you joined the company, then the strike price for the options is $1,000. If those shares would be worth $10,000 at the time you exercise, then you pay $1,000 to the company to receive the stock, and then you pay taxes on $9,000 (the difference) to the government. So you might be looking at like 3K in taxes in that case.

You owe the taxes for the current tax year. You owe the taxes regardless of whether or not the company succeeds. Company could fold right after you exercise and you'd still owe Uncle Sam 3 grand.

(Then there are also capital gains taxes to worry about after this. I am only describing your immediate tax burden.)

As covered in TFA, DNSCurve provides encryption between a DNS resolver and the client. It doesn't allow domain owners to sign their records.

Dan Kaminsky did a good job taking DNSCurve apart back in 2011: http://dankaminsky.com/2011/01/05/djb-ccc/

"I observe this is essentially a walk of Zooko’s Triangle, and does not represent an effective or credible solution to what we’ve learned is the hardest problem at the intersection of security and cryptography: Key Management. I conclude by pointing out that DNSSEC does indeed contain a coherent, viable approach to key management across organizational boundaries, while this talk — alas — does not."
Let me answer a question you haven't asked but that is very relevant:

Q: How can I mitigate the risk of holding startup shares that are illiquid and whose value can drop to zero?

A: There are investment firms that will help you buy employee stock options and then split the proceeds with you. One of these is ESO Fund (esofund.com) and they are very nice people. They can help answer your other questions as well.
You'd be surprised how many sites reject my domain, 3e.org. Sometimes it's because it begins with a number, sometimes it's because it's too short.
I was fat my whole life and I didn't find it hard; I just needed people to show me the method for weight loss (in my case Atkins then IIFYM). Applying the method was fairly straight forward after a week or two of practice and experimentation. As you say, people have a tendency to incorrectly frame a lot of deficiencies as identity problems: "I'm a fat person", "I'm a weak person", "I'm forever alone", "I'm a person whose bad at X" etc. In reality most problems aren't identity problems at all, they're methods / systems problems and should be framed as such.

A person who is overweight isn't inherently a "fat person", they're a person that hasn't discovered and applied the methods and systems to be at a normal weight; A person who has no strength isn't inherently a "weak person", they're a person that hasn't discovered and applied the methods to be strong etc.

Once a problem is framed like that, solving it is simply a matter of research and applying known methods. You don't need to change your identity, you just need to change your systems.

"The next best thing"

You're either someone's option right now until the next better option comes along or you yourself are doing that to someone else.

Tinder amplifies being "next best". You're never "the best" option and the best option for you becomes elusive.

It's the uncanny valley of dating.
Sure, but it seems like you should in those cases just parse the URL and then reject black-listed host names.
I find it interesting that usually those who claim simple explanations for mating choice are those who are least likely to benefit from this knowledge.
Very cool article! I love that people are motivated enough to do cool little projects (which often turn out not being that little) 'just because'.

Oh wow! This is more than I dared hope for, many thanks!
China has eight main cuisines related to different areas in China. Some of these cuisines are spicy and some are not.

Obviously a whole lot other things also differ together with the spices in these cuisines. It would be nice if they'd asked if the subjects identified with a specific cuisine/area.

There could also be a wealth relation. The poorer Guandong (Cantonese) kitchen has little less chili than the famously spicy Szechuan kitchen which is from a richer area.
Good point, obviously the better way to mitigate is via proper firewalls so that the application servers don't access arbitrary internal hosts.
Right, but I'm curious to know among statically typed languages, which ones have more checks than others.
The "dating apocalypse" began not with the internet but the pharmacist. Effective long term contraception and anti-infectives that worked against a wide variety of venereal diseases removed the tangible consequences of promiscuous sex. Those milestones are the real articulation in the history of dating.

In the 60's there were the "happenings" where people metaphorically swiped right and left. In the 70's it was discos, the 80's had pick-up bars. I'm pretty sure Vanity Fair had long features on each of those phenomena as well. Each generation starts to mature and are pretty sure that they are the first to discover sex, which of course their parents never had, and the older generation sees "little precious" out doing their thing and the end of the world is nigh. 20 years on the youngsters are bouncing the kids on their knees and the old ones are pushing up grass and so it goes. As the Thorton Wilder said, "Once in a thousand times it's interesting".
So you are arguing to remove the offline signing capabilities?

While true that it's a hypothesis - there's very little evidence for it and a bunch against.
That's not the point. The point would be that be that people who eat more spicy food live a little bit longer. It does not mean you don't die from other causes - obviously level of life is a large predictor for life expectancy.
Sorry, how am I being dismissive and uncharitable?

That just answered why I think that human brains are doing computation. The neurons fill the same role as transistors, and the patterns of neural connections fill the same role as how the transistors are wired together.

I'm not saying that these are simple computations, or ones that are easy to understand, or ones that can be done in reasonable timeframes on silicon.

For more useful discussion, I'd like to hear what you think the definition of "computation" is - I suspect we're using slightly different meanings for the word.

A lot of these regexes miss the whole point of validation. The key problem that needs to be solved here is to find if a URL is syntactically correct. A lot of them focus on the semantics as well. Thus hardcoding the TLDs is not needed at all, so http://microsoft.com and http://microsoft.foobar should both be valid (I could have the latter in my /etc/hosts). Also, that's what the DNS is used for.
I on occasion respond to cold emails and on occasion send them. My guidelines:

1. Non click-baity descriptive subject line
2. The person should add their full name and contact information
3. The email should address the recipient by name
4. There must be something in the email that is genuinely personalized

As a recipient, I won't respond unless these 4 conditions are met. As a sender, I won't send unless these 4 conditions are met AND I genuinely understand the customers likely problem and have a relevant solution.

The spicier the food, the more water you drink (maybe).

There's also the link to certain spices (like chili peppers) that are highly anti-inflammatory.

Personally, the more spicy food I eat, the more I have dessert.
This is essentially the same argument that people made against Java, Python, and Ruby (amongst others). But that didn't prevent them from being enormously popular languages used by tons of people to get things done. I don't see any reason to expect that controlled side effects ala Haskell will be any different.

I can eat spicy food quite fast, so don't agree with this one.
Perhaps I should have used manga/doujinshi as my example as it doesn't require an entire production studio to create. Off the top of my head I can only think of 1 or 2 quality anime doujinshi that were subbed - making it a worse example for "for-free artists". Many doujinshi will hand out free copies of their manga though when starting out, to gain popularity. Even if it is initially a loss for them.

For anime, it's produced for-profit, that's correct, but piracy arguably helps their for-profit motives more than it harms them. If they spent a bunch of money, time, and effort preventing all piracy of their IP - they'd lose out on countless international sales of merchandise... and for what exactly? Because they own the IP? That's nice. As long as it's profitable for them, why should they care? This is why Comiket is tolerated.

It's costly to sub an anime for a foreign release where it isn't guaranteed to do as well as it did in Japan. Often times unpopular anime from Japan is very popular overseas, so it can be difficult even choosing what to release overseas. They're essentially getting free labor from fansub groups which results in sales they would have had to pay for (by releasing their own sub/dub). That's a win-win for the studio.

This is less applicable to Hollywood movies that lack merchandise deals (e.g. anything that isn't superhero related) and music. I'm aware of that, but each form of media has its own arguments.

Over 1/2 of my music library was purchased only because I originally heard of the artist because a friend pirated their music or I was listening to their music for free (I use AdBlock, so they aren't making money off ads) on YouTube. I would not have discovered the artist or purchased their music without this method of discovery, which is reliant on my friends or other people pirating their music and "broadcasting it" to the world.

So it becomes an issue of "if 1 pirate results in greater than or equal to 2 sales, it is profitable to let the pirate pirate" and measuring (and quantifying) the pirates "free marketing" aspect. While I can personally quantify which items my friends have pirated and determine whether it was, in the end, profitable for the company to let them pirate or not.

The company has no way of measuring what sales of their sales occurred because of pirates. They only know that piracy means they "lost a sale"; which might not have happened even if piracy wasn't an option. This is where the problem lies and opinions differ.

I'm of the opinion that the free publicity piracy provides outweighs the lost sales that occur from piracy, therefore tolerating, but not promoting, piracy is an overall net gain.

This argument is different than one I would use for a painter or photographer. Where stealing is a lot more harmful to the artist, especially since attribution is almost never given for stolen works. In this form of media, piracy steals recognition and publicity rather than giving it. That's actively harmful and is more easily provable that it harms the artist.

Terrific. Sr. Perini's regex has served me well. That being said, if you solve a problem with a list of thirteen regexs, you then have fourteen problems.
What are the lessons of Erlang

Joe gives good talks. Here's one he recommends as an intro to the capabilities and philosophy of Erlang: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u41GEwIq2mE

The entire Erlang thesis falls out of one simple fact: for a program to be highly available, it must run on more than on piece of hardware.

When you run on more than one piece of hardware, you need to be able to communicate between pieces of hardware, detect failures, and when something fails you need to be able to restart it (hacks: systemd, SMF) or reassign responsibility to a different piece of hardware that hasn't failed yet.

Monitoring and restarting in itself isn't simple. What if what you're monitoring is on another physical machine? You need built in networking and for simplicity, you need built in location transparency. If I start process Bob on machine A and process Kat on machine B, I should be able to interact with Bob on either machine without specifying where it's running (i.e. RMI that works).

And all of this is the Erlang VM so far—nothing to do with the language itself. The language adds nice features like pattern matching and atoms and tuples and cons cells and binaries and bignums, but those features are independent of the "Erlang-ness" of the runtime.

There are a lot of great articles written about rationales behind all these topics and a lot of great talks up on YouTube. Just search YouTube for Joe Armstrong talks and/or general Erlang intro talks. You'll soon see how the basics of Erlang are being re-implemented in 2015, except half thought through, and it'll take another 10 years for these ad-hoc remade components to become "I'd bet the farm on it" reliable.

Interestingly, there isn't any evidence that nonprojective dependencies are harder for people to understand than projective ones, so I wouldn't expect nonprojective arcs to be shorter on average than projective ones.

Thank you for this, seriously. I find myself saying, more often over time, that I think the tech world wants to destroy civil society because they don't understand it--posts like this make me feel a little better about us, even if it's seemingly a minority view.
I'm aware of that.

> "present" is actually a standard date: January 1, 1950

which is an abuse of the English langauge, since "present" actually means "now." Scientists should not overload pre-existing English words to mean other things.
You called them lazy and their statements fluff, and implied that they don't care about their existing employees, when they've just done something positive and you have no specific information about it.

A more charitable interpretation is easy: since they've just done something good for new employees, there may be be a constraint that makes it not as easy to do for everyone. I see no reason, other than what Max Scheler called the "compulsion to detract", to assume they don't care about their existing employees—it would be incongruent with what they're announcing, plus dumb.

It's fine to raise a question, but the willful sourness that wants to tear down a positive thing and turn it into a negative one is something we need less of in HN comments. This is a particularly good thread not to do that in, because the OP is a datapoint in a significant emerging trend about employee compensation. It deserves a serious, undistorted discussion.
I expect they had to write something that looked good to meet the deadline, even if it was completely broken.
