By putting money in the LLC he can avoid estate taxes and still give his family control if he wants.

>To sum up, his money is not going to a charity, but to his own LLC, which will let him evade tax by moving his private assets into a foundation.

>Unlike a charitable trust, which is compelled to spend its money on charity, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, LLC will be able to spend its money on whatever it wants, including private, profit-generating investment.

I got side effects from some medication I took until one day I was about to take them and then forgot, still got the side effects, and finally found I hadn't taken the meds after all.

At that time I concluded it was all nocebo and the side effects were almost completely gone from that day on.
Ugh, now I'm worried Yahoo will drag down Tumblr, which is a genuinely unique and useful thing.

Rather than to-do lists, I have found much help with the subtly different "habit tracking" systems. I personally use this one: http://productiveapp.io/

I keep my threshold for daily success low. For example, I have a habit item of reading a book. All I have to do is read for, say, 15 minutes, and that suffices for me to click off that I completed the habit for the day, and I can go back to procrastinating if I like.

But I find that once I get started doing something that I actually want to do (such as reading a real book rather than surfing the web), then it's pretty easy to continue doing it for a longer period of time.

That being said, I actually like your idea. You just need to be more careful about choosing a message (and staying on message).
Its sad to see how these comments are going focus on this being a tax dodge. He is doing SOMETHING with 99% of his money for the greater good.
The hindsight comments are valid however it's definite to say that yahoo had and has a lot more issues to get itself into a competitive position.

The comment about boring tenure definitely is big call to say the least and if one is to judge Marisa about her efforts over her career prior and during yahoo she was the CEO they needed.

Going into yahoo and transforming it is a big call and to draw parallels to Apple should not be compared. It's safe to say anyone going into yahoo would know that plugging the holes in the company was the main agenda and at least keeping momentum of operations and brand was a realistic fix, which Marisa did extremely well.

Tech companies with the latest and greatest innovative product is what all general spectators love to grade a company. It's sexy it gets media attention and creates a lot of noise within communities.

The fair way to look at her role would have been to stop the ship from sinking and if she is to be judged as a person which this article does, her career is dynamic and adaptable and it's safe to say no matter what the outcome any will want her with open arms.

In the end, ROI or metrics-based management approaches are mired in ideas that belong in businesses that resemble raw materials extraction (like, say, Exxon) or about as far away from a company like Apple or Google as you can imagine.

When was the last time your company did an metrics improvement or ROI study on the phone system? The office electrical grid? Email? How the hell would you even conduct such a study? Would the iPhone project, prior to its release, survived such a study?
His name had me very, very confused. Wikipedia says his full name is Zoltan Istvan Gyurko. That makes a lot more sense. I don't think there's an English common name that is the equivalent of Zoltán (It comes from the word sultan), István is Steven. So if we just pick another common English name, calling him Zoltan Istvan is a lot like someone having the name Robert Steven. Gyurkó on the other hand is a normal Hungarian family name.

There are glow in the dark plants (http://www.glowingplant.com/) but there are not plants genetically engineered to produce photosynthetically useful light that I know of. And they definitely don't exist in anything close to a commercially useful form.

I'm not really sure how the text of your question relates to the headline though. There are plants that can open a window as they grow over time, but there isn't a plant that can just do it in response to stimuli.

I'm not sure how useful this technology would be when it's already so easy, low cost, and sustainable to incorporate it mechanically without the added regulatory, r&d, and cost hurdles associated with genetic engineering. I would also mention GE issues with patents and environmental damage.
The video looks bad because YouTube's encoder butchers video content. Add to that the reality that video decoders typically apply filters to a video post-decode to compensate for the artifacts introduced by encoders. Those filters can add banding, and the encoder already quantized the video.

It would look better if the video had been uploaded at 1080p60 or something ridiculous, because that increases the bitrate budget, and the smaller video macroblocks cover less important image information. But that's kind of an awful hack.

You can observe this clearly with youtube clips of classic games, like those at TASVideos ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFKeJVmqdApqOS8onQWznfA ) the source games are 480i or 240p at best, but the quality of the youtube 480p bitrate is significantly compromised in ways you can see. If you watch it in 1080p it looks much closer to what you'd see in an emulator (or off the hardware when connected via RGB/component.)
I like them when I use them the same way I use BSD jails: providing a very thin amount of high-level resource isolation. And that's it, because that's all they are actually good at. That's not, however, how the trend is to use them, and given the overwhelming, please-fund-us hype of the container movement, I'm not surprised you're unimpressed. Containers emphatically do not replace virtualization (which, while it certainly has some drawbacks, at least works as a developer will expect it to, and yet the tooling all desperately wants you to believe it does because that's how you'll buy into their ~platform~ and their ~vision~ and be so very monetized on their behalf.

(Five point releases after promising this wouldn't be the case anymore, Docker still doesn't use user namespaces, so I really hope your Dockerfiles aren't using root! Have fun.)
How complex would it be to do it without taking in the min/max width parameters? It soon becomes insanely complex when you want draw a graph with nodes of variable width and height. Say for example if you wanted to add text inside the boxes and you want the box width to be determined based on the text. I have previously tried to adapt the default tree layout algorithm (Reingold–Tilford?!) in D3 and failed miserably. http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4339184
A related gripe of mine is when precision magically appears when conversions occur. 2.2 stone is 14 Kg if you maintain the same precision.

I wonder if it is just a given or obvious, but it is rarely mentioned that glucose is stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen.

Insulin signals for uptake of glucose by the muscles and liver. It appears obvious that glucose absorption/insulin sensitivity would be directly affected by the glycogen storage capacity of the muscles. So it makes sense that increasing muscle mass, increasing energy use (physical activity/muscle recovery), or decreasing glucose intake (caloric deficit/ketogenic diet) would have dramatic effects on the symptoms of diabetes.

Ultimately, addressing diabetes is an issue of handling glucose storage through increasing capacity, increasing energy and/or reducing high-glycemic intake of glucose.
After the last Sourceforge malware-bundling debacle (Can't even remember who it was at this point--someone who said Sourceforge seized their repo from them and then repackaged it with malware), gorhill added Sourceforge to the uBlock blacklists.

Right, and other cars have lane keeping too. Tesla's implementation of both is the best out there, but mainly because they're less timid about it. Other manufacturers feel compelled to force you to keep your hands on the wheel and such, even when the technology doesn't require it.

In some ways, yeah, but viewed in another light, it's sad to see the tax code so ridiculously complex and catering to the rich that a guy like Zuckerberg or Romney can effectively pay a lower tax rate on investments than a working-class citizen would pay on their direct wages. Sometimes there needs to be a 'poster child' to focus on as an example of when even doing something admirable leaves a bad taste in the mouths of many.
That's one of the best articles you could read on the subject, I might give it another read seeing as you've linked it here.

This was another favourite, the one that started my 'journey': http://www.raptitude.com/2011/05/procrastination-is-not-lazi...

YMMV, but to-do lists were just another source of pressure for me, so I've been trying to create external pressure for myself instead. I was a software developer wanting to learn data science but never went through with any of the MOOCs I started, even though I was interested in the subject. So I started a Masters to give myself that framework of accountability, deadlines etc.

I realise that's an extreme example, so I'll give a smaller one too. My wife wanted a Wordpress plugin and I offered to help, and immediately set a date for when I'd work on it. Even though she wasn't forcing me or anything, she was the external pressure I created, and rather than make me anxious it actually helped me focus and get the job done.

The biggest realisation for me was that the barrier to starting something is orders of magnitude bigger than the barrier to keep going, so you can try to experiment with ways to fool yourself into starting. Things like saying "I will work on this but only for 15 minutes, after which I'll reward myself with some time on the Playstation" often lead to me getting into flow before the time is up, and then just carrying on, sometimes for hours.
Shipping autopilot put Tesla more or less on par with various other car manufacturers who are already shipping similar features.

Tesla's implementation is the best out there, but it's not substantially different from what you'll find on a high-end Infiniti or Volvo or Mercedes today.

Work days, index field for every granularity of time (for fiscal calendars that don't align to calendar granularities), day number of every time span, display fields stored in text ("I don't care about the intricacies of date formatting in locales, just make it always look like this "), abbreviations of display fields.

How about the retail requirement of capturing store open/close status for year on year comparisons? Date dimension becomes Store_Date dimension, with indicators for what to include/exclude in comparison totals?

I give trainings on dimensional modeling and query design/optimization. The vast majority of my examples are for dates, for two reasons.

1. Everyone needs some form of date dimension.

2. If you can solve date problems, you can apply any other logic you want trivially.

2 is not 100% true, but sometimes it seems that way.

I don't see how this is a problem. He's following the law and organizing his affairs to retain control of the money he earned.

You aren't less of a citizen because you try to not pay more tax than you owe. The exemptions for certain types of income are put there because the legislature wants to promote certain activities as beneficial to the public good. Charitable Remainder Trusts are one of those things written into the law. Complain to your lawmakers if you think that's unfair.

Seriously. does anyone reading this post think the government is a better steward of their income than they are? If you think so, then donate 100% of your income to the government and live on public assistance. That option is provided on the tax return you sign here in the USA.

Handling waste isn't that difficult of a problem. There are better reactor designs which use a lot of that waste as fuel, and what's left just needs to be sealed up real good and left to sit behind some good fences.

Basically all of the real-world problems with handling nuclear waste are because anti-nuclear advocates prevent any action from being taken to handle waste, but meanwhile there are operating reactors producing waste and that hasn't stopped. So nuclear plant operators are forced into ad-hoc solutions for waste disposal because nobody will let them do it right.

As far as I understand, he wouldn't avoid estate taxes. Whoever dies last would still own the LLC as an asset and the estate is taxed on the value of that asset. With their combined estate tax exemption, about $10.5 million, any value over that would be taxed at 40%. Unless he remains true to his word and he expects to spend it all before he dies.

The only "avoidance" of taxes happening here is during the initial transaction of transferring the Facebook shares to the LLC's ownership. Of course as the LLC sells shares that have gained value, the capital gain would be taxed, as would any dividends or growth from any other investments the LLC makes.
