Oh yeah it does.
In my experience the salary difference isn't usually that large. Sometimes it is, and some companies do pay unusually low salaries in exchange for options, obviously increasing risk, perhaps to an undesirable level.

I'm CEO and co-founder of a funded company. We pay competitive salaries + options. I don't begrudge someone who isn't interested in options. Options are actually expensive to me. We are still fairly early stage (Series A funded) so the founders own most of the company and the option pool primarily dilutes the founders. I want to give options to someone who wants them. I'm fine paying more salary in lieu of of options.

I think of options like a profit-sharing plan in a mature company. If the company does very well then the employees should share in that success. Some folks feel that paying very low salaries and heavy options breeds loyalty. I personally don't subscribe to that. I prefer to pay something competitive and have options as nice upside for the employee.

Though it's likely that your first several years of awesome salary will be spent paying off loans.
There lives have certainly begun enough to become a sex offender. Holding people accountable for the crimes that they commit means that we have hard and fast boundaries. Especially in the case of sex-crimes which are pervasive throughout our society.

When you keep in mind that a large number of those people have likely sexually assaulted someone their age, do you feel differently?

You can talk to me about "not-fully-developed brains". all you like, but as a 16yo you certainly have the capability to make the decision to not rape/assault/etc.
> How about vs. the average prisoner? Figures from other threads show that re-offend rates for other crimes are anywhere from 15x to 35x more likely to re-offend.

This is a silly comparison. Most crimes are much less serious than sexual assault, and so they simply happen more often period. (The recidivism rate for parking tickets is almost 100%!) The number of crimes which are at least as serious as sexual assault is much smaller. And all we know from this author is that one of them, murder, has a lower recidivism rate.
What makes a typical American city? One could argue that the second largest city in Ohio is not a typical city.
You are exactly right. Those systems are closed loop for a reason. The store/forward in this specific case was most likely a human, with a scanner or just retyping documents from those networks on to a unclass network and then sending to the private address. How that is not deliberate we will never know.
DST just moves the entire "coordinate" system, so all schedules adjust together. Suppose some store opens at 8 and you want to go there before school. You have time for that because school is at 9. But, oops, now school is at 8, and the store still opens at 8; the store didn't adjust its hours, whereas your school did.
The timing was originally intended to coincide (the version tag is 1607 as in this month), but was pushed back a bit.

When was the last serious naval battle?

Right now Navy's have two roles, protect shipping and launch aircraft / missiles. When an aircraft carrier can project force out thousands of km you really don't need a lot of them.

Honestly, I suspect the Navy would be better off with a fleet of solar powered drones and buoy for very high resolution surveillance to back up strikes vs. high cost patrol boats.

>>> Even if they're free they still cost your time.

This. Free books are very far from being actually free. Reading a book can take anywhere between 15 to 50 hours or more. So the cost of the book itself often is a small share of the cost of reading a book.

Of course, free books are important because they are more accessible to people who can't pay for some reason (teenagers, students, people from poor countries). It's just that 'free' shouldn't be part of the equation, if you can afford to pay $20 or $50 for a book.

This is an utopian Socialist phantasy. It has often been tried and has never worked.

I came from a Socialist country where every company was employee owned. The only exit we received is fleeing as refugees from a civil war.

Look, I understand that you mean well but the only reality that exists is the market and that people are most productive when they have freedom.

Socialism tries to undermine both, first through ideology and when it later inevitably doesn't work through use of force.
Your second comment is dead-on, not sure why it's getting downvoted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Kiribati However, Christianity does not really give a reason for them to stay. I suspect it's just an excuse not to face up to the truth. If they stuck to Bahá'í (which was invented in 1844 and introduced to the island in the early 1900's) they would probably have had the same reaction.
unless written kiribati was natively developed to use the english alphabet, it seems like someone just did a really crap job of romanizing their language.

I've been looking at EdgeJs, specifically one version which was compiled to run in Electron. The idea being to make a bridge between electron and C# view-models (or whatever) so people can build cross-plat C# and HTML5 desktop apps.
IMO: no.

First of all, I love JavaScript, and I think it could be used for far more than it currently is.

Having said that, it is not good for every problem, due to limitations of the language itself. It is not multi-threaded. It is not good for CPU-intensive operations (transcoding video, encryption tasks, etc.) It does not allow direct access to memory.

I still love it, and it is closer to being a universal language than most people think, but I also believe that the designed limitations are still an issue.
Yes, that's an understandable idea, but constructing and maintaining the technological means to the end requires at least as much work as ever, though it is work of different kinds.

Besides technological solutions create new, unanticipated problems that need to be solved. And this endless cycle is inherent in human existence. We regard present technology as far advanced vs. what there was 2000 years ago, yet we have at least as many problems to preoccupy us as there ever were.

Everything changes, technologies in particular, except for one thing, and that's human nature. We can't escape the essence of our being.
Hunter-gatherer societies have absolutely nothing to do with 'building a cabin in the woods' or poverty. They represent a highly social period in human development that lasted for tens of thousands of years. It has been argued that we have never been as happy or healthy ever since.[0]

For me that is the believable part; it's easy to hack together something JavaScript-like using lex and yacc and also probably not too hard to bolt it onto your own browser. It would be reasonably bug-free, too, as there was no standard to test it against.

I do find it hard to believe that Netscape managed to decide this was a (minimal) viable product, produce a press release, and present it to the world in the remaining (at most 21, including Memorial Day, but according to Wikipedia at most 13) days in May.

On the other hand, Netscape may have heard rumors about Sun announcing Java (quite possible if Sun wanted to have a Netscape plugin to demo at launch) and decided they had to have something on the same day. I can't find that on the web, though.

EDIT: http://www2.ldc.lu.se/temadag95/javascript.txt and http://www.phase3.net/sun-announces-java-at-sunworld/ seem to show that the May 23 date in Wikipedia is correct for Java, but incorrect for JavaScript. That date should be December 4, 1995.

How to Make Powerful Connection That Last
Nginx-1.11.2
Python has all of the constituent parts of an OO language, save explicit types, but it is never written in an OO style.

Using classes != OO.

Generally, Python programmers treat objects as structs with associated methods, basically the Go model. Python programmers rarely encapsulate at all. At best, they use a bunch of accessors (which is not itself OO). Implementation details are rarely hidden.

That's because dynamically-typed languages, the interpreter, and the Python culture, lend themselves more to exploratory programming, rather than a UML-design, with objects that relate to real-world entities, that are implemented after careful planning.

If you can show me a Python program where objects are really encapsulated, and aren't chock-full of accessors, I'll stand happily corrected.

Yes, the apparent standard practice of just saying "We haven't received a letter" and then removing it if one is received makes no sense to me. Much better to have something you regularly update, and then stop updating it. The government could nab you for deleting something, but they might have trouble forcing you to update your declaration with false information.
The legitimate reason is not having a big brother control everything you do. They should access this information only when there is a valid reason, not by default.

To preserve your possessions against confiscation when power abuses the people.

One of my family members lived and worked in Cuba before Fidel Castro got into power. He had a house and a three people company. He actually supported Fidel because he talked a lot about democracy and himself(Castro) not being communist.

Once Fidel got into power, he established himself as a dictator, killing anybody on their own side that was against a new dictatorship, like Cienfuegos.

Fidel nationalized everything. My family member and his family leaved the country with money from my family overseas. All his possessions were stolen by Castro.

The people in power should not have the power to easily confiscate your wealth.

Today with negative interest rates, those in power are stealing from the people, but only a little. Central banks want to ban cash so they can steal 20 to 30 per cent of every single deposit as the system is totally bankrupted.

With physical cash, gold confiscation, they have a harder time. Some people will not be happy to give the police their hard earned money.

Jokes aside: idle hands lead to new art, science, and culture on the one hand; and trouble on the other hand. For those with a natural inclination for creative endeavors they will explore. For people who have desires to conquer, pillage and plunder they'll go around beating people up and destroying things. For the lazy people that like sitting around, they'll end up just like Wall-E predicts.
Juan Matamoros had been charged with two counts of Lewd and Lavacious behavior at the time of that article being written. Pretty highly unlikely that they were both from the single incident of public urniation. When you're publicly exposing yourself repeatedly, maybe you should be a sex offender?

Man of the cases on solresearch mention that the people have been removed from the registry. Which I know has happened to one person who has serially had relationships with his underage students, starting at or before 16. He is no longer on the sex offender registry list because he convinced a judge that it was fine in his culture, and he didn't see the big deal. Anecdote, sure, but people act like the sex offender registry is something that brands you forever, which just isn't the case.

And ignoring that the registry has been wildly successful at reducing child sexual abuse is a huge oversight. These edge cases, who in many cases have legal recourse, outweigh the lives of rape and sexual assault victims?

Well, I don't think "work" in this sense is referring to problems to be solved.

I think it refers to that which society is structured around and makes most of us have to be somewhere at a certain time, doing a certain thing, regularly and for a long time, in exchange of regular payment, within an operation with a more-of-less clearly defined purpose.

There will luckily be always problems to be solved.

It really doesn't. Machines have been putting people out of work for ages. We could survive it for a while by growing the economy pretty fast, but any time it slows down, things get bad. Look at truck driving alone - it's the most common job in most states, and when that gets even partially automated, it's not going to create that many new problems to be "solved".

The problem with all if these arguments is that it assumes there's no other work you'd rather be doing aside from whatever work you've been forced to contort your desires into in order to pay rent.

There are more of them computer thingies floating around, but other than sheer scope, it's not much different than BASIC.

Is that actual mandate from FB leadership? Between the Like buttons that track visit habits (used actively in non-FB marketing since 2014[1]), native FB visits + tracking on that, mobile tracking[2], and volunteered information, Facebook + their share widgets probably has information parity with Google + the Google Analytics aggregate information + Gmail (which has the added
"benefit" of only needing one party to profile multiple people - i.e., John uses gmail and CC's 15 non-gmail users about $foo provides Gmail with a certain amount of information). The Forbes article is a really good analysis (albeit from 2014) as to the specifics of their privacy policy (which, as I understand it, doesn't give out PII, but certainly has the potential to craft an 'anonymized' profile on a user). Car insurance companies, mortgage companies, health insurance companies (fans of McDonalds!), etc could do wonders with that data[3] compared to how crude their existing metrics are.
