Yes. Also, if several nations have colonies on Mars, I would assume that they would all claim independence roughly at the same time and soon after would form some kind of pan-martian government.

It just makes more sense to increase collaborations between colonies if you are so far away from earth. If there would be a US colony on Mars and a Chinese colony on Mars, these people would probably have more interactions with each other than with any person or nation on earth. There are huge advantages of exchange of goods between colonies, so that not every colony has to produce every special item or mine every kind of resource.
There are a bunch of reasons why it's a bad thing, and most of them are compelling to me --- in principle, you worked for 3-4 years to earn equity, not the opportunity to buy equity --- but there's a big reason that I think is dispositive.

When a company sells, it negotiates with its buyer for a long time to come up with a price and terms for the deal. Former employee stockholders are iced out of that negotiation. The buyer and sellers have levers to pull that improve the outcome for themselves at the expense of former employees; for instance, the terms of the deal can include retention bonuses paid to employees, and in fact are sometimes dominated by those bonuses. Nobody needs to decide to be evil to make something like this happen! It's rational for the buyer to want to extend additional benefits to keep employees, and management is numbered among those employees.

I've had friends who paid significant amounts of money for their stock only to have it end up worth 0 in subsequent high-8-figure sales.

Counterexample: how did the Internet and WWW ever evolve without a significant reliance on patents? How did the software industry in general ever flourish? The best we can say from empirical observation is that patents don't lead to guaranteed failure. We certainly can't say they're necessary.

If everything that could have been patented was patented, we'd all be poorer for it. Except the lawyers, of course.

"banks will only lend to SOEs or big private companies"

Banks' prefer to lend to SOEs or larger companies, sure, and those customers get the best rates. Credit _is_ available from banks for smaller businesses, but banks' role in this lending is a little different than in the US/UK.

A bank making a small business loan in the UK is serving two functions: (i) providing capital, (ii) taking on credit risk. In China, many small business loans are granted by banks (and live on a bank's balance sheet), but the credit risk is taken on by a credit guarantee company.[0][1]

The small business will pay interest to the bank, and fees to the guarantee company.

"there isn't much credit for small private companies"

There is, it's just that (i) when banks lend money sourced from their wealth management products (理财产品) , it doesn't show up on banks' balance sheets, and (ii) there are other non-bank lenders.

Search for 'wenzhou rate', 'shadow banking' or 'china wealth management' if you're interested in more detail, e.g. see the 'wealth management' section of this paper[2].

I love it. We have a distributed team so many people work from home and then we have offices inside GSA buildings in SF, Chicago, NYC, and DC. Hours are very flexible, we just try to have some overlap with teams in various time zones. In D.C., where I am, some people work 10-6, some noon-8, and some take breaks to pick up kids from school and then work at night. Attire is very relaxed. The kind of place where if someone wears a suit you ask what they have to do that day. We're a Mac shop, which is pretty rare in the government. No real software restrictions, and we provide most of our own IT/ops support. I'm working from the roof of the GSA building right now. View of the Washington and Jefferson monuments is hard to beat.

Morale is really high. Culture and work/life balance is super important to the team and to management. People feel compelled to tweet about how much they like their job. I haven't worked at a startup, but many have and are happy to be here. There are plenty of government frustrations, but the size of the impact of our mission greatly outweighs any day to day annoyances. For me, the best thing is that when there is a problem, whether it's management, bureaucracy, or technology, the attitude is to address it openly and head on. And 18F has a group of really smart people, so those problems rarely last very long.

Most dictionaries carry two definitions for vital, each of which apply discretely to either publisher.

One is "of absolute importance or necessity" which I do believe applies to the Tribune.

The secondary definition is "lively" and the Sun-Times has always been that.

Is it "silly" to buy a house when you don't have $50k in your emergency fund? I have been very financially lucky, but I'd still have to sell a lot of stock -- dipping significantly into funds earmarked for other things -- to pay off a surprise $50k expense. I certainly couldn't have done so right after having bought my house.
this is one of many cases in real life where a naked average is suboptimal. one should always analyze variance, median, some centiles (pick a couple you like), min/max and if data is amenable to that, scatter plots - if your data is e.g. bimodal, aggregates usually won't tell you.

<< When Mr. Jobs harangues his staff, when he puts the company ahead of his supposed friends, when he shows little regard for his family in the service of building what’s next, he implicitly holds an ace card with the audience who knows how things eventually turned out. Sure, he may have been terrible to be around, but in the end, wasn’t he right about the importance of that dent in the universe? And if he hadn’t been as obnoxious about his aims, would the dent have been as large? >>

Why unikernels might kill containers in five years
Move up in your technical position til you get to be a tech lead or a manager.
By a factor of 25, and it's only not more because there's a law against making them any smaller. And it's very much because of computerization; whether you consider it to be HFT is a question of whether you count the early days when computerized firms competed on price or the later ones when the aforementioned law meant they could only compete on latency.

In any case, compete they have, pushing their profits pretty close to zero. Look at the graphs in http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-02-13/how-getco-went-hft-... (article is terrible, it was just the easiest place to find the graphs).
The Orange Pi Plus isn't supported.
Interesting, but I’m not convinced.

Size: Each unikernel image contains a kernel specially compiled for the application. A container image properly optimized contains just the application (the kernel is shared by all containers). It’s possible to create Docker containers under 10 MB: see http://blog.xebia.com/2014/07/04/create-the-smallest-possibl... and http://blog.xebia.com/2015/06/30/how-to-create-the-smallest-....

Security: Reusing a well known and largely deployed Linux kernel (without all the surrounding provided by the “larger” OS) sounds at least as secure as compiling its own specialized unikernel.

Compatibility: The compatibility story sounds better for containers because your app will work by default without doing anything.
I don't think so, at least in Seattle. Looking at the city breakdown, it corresponds to transit coverage and (my perception) transit friendliness. It actually seems to correspond inversely against income, since the transit coverage is vaguely inverse with Seattle income.

This is, by the way, a strong conflict with East Coast cities in the US, where there's a decided "obese area" visible. I don't have insight into those from the ground level.
This section specifically says "not carried out for commercial advantage or financial gain", so it doesn't apply to people who actually make money from this. I don't know what section that's covered in though.

Congress failed to fund the Commercial Crew Program, which would have put astronauts in space on Space-X boosters using the existing Falcon rocket and Dragon capsule. Instead, NASA's pork programs are getting funding.

Colonizing Mars is a fantasy. The worst real estate on Earth can support life better than the best real estate on Mars. It would be easier to colonize Antarctica or underwater on a continental shelf than Mars. Send robots to look around, sure. We now know what Mars looks like. Nearly airless, dusty, rocky, maybe some brine or ice. Years of orbiters haven't found anything really exciting that justifies more surface exploration.

The US should build a Venus lander that can survive that environment and let us get a good look at Venus. The only surface pictures of Venus are from Soviet spacecraft of the 1970s. It's time for another look.

"So if a share of Clef stock is worth $1 today and we grow so it’s worth $20 in a few years, you’ll still be able to buy it for $1 (and then sell it immediately for a profit of $19)."

Use more realistic numbers. The likelihood of your company going to $20 a share, and with the ability of the share holder to "sell it immediately" is very unlikely.

The best practice is for founders to vest at the same schedule as employees, so founder shares also vest at the same rate over 4 years. This is recommended by YC and many others, and most startups follow this. Founder shares do not vest outright in most cases.
No this isn't an ad-hominem, because the person, and his actions are in question here not his position.

If he was talking about global warming and some on said that yes that would count as an ad-hominem but not in this case.

People are too often drawn into calling ad-hominems where the person in question is a material part of the issue and this is a logical fallacy. You won't tell some one commenting about Trump that they are making ad-hominems because, his experience, his world views and his personality are quite material to the debate.

If the chance is purely random, we should expect approximately 1 in 2^16 (approximately 0.001%) of corrupt packets to not be detected. This seems small, but on one Gigabit Ethernet connection, that could be as many as 15 packets per second.

Not really. You'd only get that many corrupt packets if you have a Gbps of traffic flowing; but as soon as you start detectably corrupting 99.999% of packets, TCP throughput is going to drop dramatically and so you'll have fewer packets available to corrupt.

I'm not sure that's the case anymore, we've had so many successful robotic missions - to Mars, other planets, comets, etc. - that all captivate the public for a span and return valuable data for subsequent mission planning. Pretty sure PR is neutral factor now in deciding on human vs robot missions.

Agree with leaving the launch system to commercial partners (SpaceX, etc...), but why the need for further ion thruster research as a pre-requisite for a manned Mars mission? Wouldn't a chemical thruster and a Hohmann transfer suffice, at least for the initial few trips?
At the level of an individual increased risk does indeed reduce the expected outcome of an endeavor. However, societies where individuals are willing to take higher risks end up reaping the benefits that are only accessible by taking higher risks. One example of such benefits are scientific discoveries.

The current combination of risk-aversion and the focus on publications, tenure and positive results that permeates academia is antithetical to the uncertainty inherent in scientific research.

It seems to me that building new research institutions like YCR with a culture that resembles the one in tech which accepts and encourages risk-taking should be a priority if we are to continue to make progress in science.

It might be effect of people who have to drive for most trips, versus those who can walk or bike (alone or in combination with transit) to at least a few destinations.

That sort of access also makes those places more desirable, and thus more expensive, and thus more likely to be populated by rich people.
It would be wrong to write off cooking as an opportunity cost of not investing in yourself. First, you have the opportunity to put high quality food into yourself. Second, the tasks of recipe creation and cooking are very, very similar to software creation tasks. You start with a language (raw ingredients, characters) and combine them into your final product.
I agree with this, but it is worse than you make it out to be. If the options have increased in paper value since they were issued, which is to say the current strike price of newly issued options is higher than your strike price. You MUST pay US income tax on this "gain" because, according to the IRS, you could turn around and sell your stock at the current price and get cash for it.

The craziness is that you cannot actually do that. But you pay the tax anyway, and if they company goes away, or has an exit where the common stock gets no value, you can record the "loss" $3,000 a year until you have used it up.

So worst case is your out both the exercise money and the tax money. Wham wham!
