The Reagan Administration sold arms to Iran and used it to fund the Nicaraguan Contras.

Bill Clinton got a blowjob and lied about it.

George W. Bush invaded a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and created a 13 year mess that has culminated with the creation of ISIS.

Hillary Clinton mishandled some classified e-mails.
I think the idea is that a warrant canary is regularly updated. And the fact that it is NOT updated would be an indicator that a warrant (or whatever) has been served. So it's the INACTION that triggers it, not an actual action (like tweeting).
The programs that SF puts in place as part of the "non-profit industrial complex" that's risen up worsens the problem in two ways:

1) Too many of the programs enable, rather than help the root cause, of homeless folks.

2) These enabling programs are very efficiently communicated among the homeless population, drawing them from all over the state and the country.

I'm not some asshole who hates homeless people. I was raised by a single father because my mother was a mentally-ill and drug addicted person who was homeless or in and out of shelters for the majority of the last 25 years before she died in 2014.

I watched as numerous programs did nothing but enable her addiction and undermine me and my siblings efforts to eliminate her addiction and get her to work.
As a helpful hint to Roland, based on his example image. Do not buy a boat.

Been there, done that. Unless you can afford to pay someone else to keep it up, and/or pay dock fees to make it easy to use when you want (or have plenty of experience already with taking care of boats), do not buy a boat.

You know that joke about the two favorite days in a boat owner's life, the day they buy a boat and the day they sell the boat? So true.
In one of the most left-leaning states in the union, in one of it's richest cities, all the most well-meaning welfare programs have failed to make a dent in the problem.

If that isn't a fantastic argument for Basic Income I don't know what could be more persuasive.

Edit: Commenter below summarized my (admittedly poorly phrased) point better than I can:

> The current programs are focussed around spending the minimum amount of money possible on as few people as possible, which is an expensive and inefficient proposal. The parent's suggestion is to give people the power in their own lives, which studies have shown can result in huge turnarounds for people in unpleasant situations.

> So OP is suggesting that overly complicated, byzantine, and underfunded welfare programs aren't working, so maybe we should give up and do what experts have been suggesting, and studies have shown results from, instead.

And no, this does not address the problem of mental illness but if we're going to continue to ignore this problem until we can find a solution that works for all homeless, just shoot them now and limit their suffering because it will never happen.

i would think it would depend on the state, and the feeling of the other parent/family. Had a friend who was convicted of possession of child porn. I've no idea what the specific content was, but it was a mandatory 5 years in prison, and his ex-wife petitioned for sole custody of their child, and I think she'd tried to get all parental rights removed 100%. not sure if that succeeded. he had another teenage daughter at the time who just... didn't get to see him when he was in prison (michigan, but he was in prison in mass most of the time). She's... mid 20s now? They have an OK relationship now, from what I can tell.

Do you agree that taxation is a legitimate lever with which to effect economic and social policy? Vice taxes, for example, are much saner than outright bans for everyone involves, and tax incentives can drive the adoption of things like solar panels.
Data-Oriented Programming: On the Expressiveness of Non-Control Data Attacks [pdf]
You didn't address this at me, but I figured I'd chime in.

I do work for a startup now, with options (and have in the past as well). I object to options in the sense that it takes a lot of luck for them to ever be worth anything. It's easy for companies to talk up their potential value (once we get our billion dollar valuation, your 0.05% is $500k!), but in order for the options to be worth the paper they're printed on, a lot of things have to happen in a specific order. One bump in the road, and your shares are wiped out.

Appetite for risk is a tricky way of putting it. I don't think the risk is that the company will fail and the options won't be worth anything; I think the real risk is that something will happen to cause the options to be worth less (or perhaps worthless). That's the sort of risk I'm not interesting in sacrificing much salary for, especially if the company isn't bootstrapping.

When the sum of the options pool allocated for employees is 5% or 10%, the risk/reward ratio is all out of whack. The risk of being diluted/preferenced/strong-armed out of your shares is fairly high. All it takes is one investor with preference to completely wreck the cap table.

As an employee, you need to know that you're absolutely last in line. Standing in front of you are: banks (loans generally come off the top), investors with preference, investors, founders (who will be fine, even if it means their shares are worth $0, but they get an incentive to stay worth $5m), C-level employees who might have preferred shares, and then finally, common stock holders.

So assuming everything to there goes really well, the shares convert to common and everything is looking up. You haven't been diluted into the ground, your company isn't Zynga and demanded your shares back and your company is now public. Congratulations! There are still more obstacles: you can't sell your shares for a certain lockup period, during which the share price could very well dive. If the stock is going up, you don't care, but if it dips, it's a race to your strike price. If the stock dips under your strike price, you have no reason to exercise your options, so you're left hoping that Wall Street likes your company.

And even then, let's say you exercise your options, sell the shares and make $500k. After taxes, you're going to walk away with a good chunk less than that. After taxes, let's say you have $330k. Say you worked at the company for 5 years before they went public, that's roughly $60k/year that your stock was worth.

So the real question then is how much salary is it worth deferring on the very long shot that you make $60k/year off of your stock? $330k isn't exactly life-changing money for most people: it's not enough to retire on, it's a nice down payment on a house someplace in reasonably high demand.
If the premise is that employees can move the needle on the stock price through their contributions, then double trigger doesn't make sense either.

I recently went through an acquisition where all of our stock was converted into the acquiring company's stock. It was maddening to see our team continue to perform well but see the price of our equity tank along with the rest of the company.
Does the government take private RSU's as payment for taxes? It seems unfair to tax people for equity that even the government itself doesn't value.

>Is the presumption that founders and investors are not trying to screw employees?

I think the presumption is that all parties act in their own self-interest. For some founders that means compensating employees with equity, for others that means keeping equity to themselves and relying on cash compensation for employees. Without talking about specific situations I don't think you can ascribe malice to either choice.
Not OP, but it bothers me because a hard fork means that bad investments are bailed out by all currency holders.

The problem with Godwin's law is if you cast something minuscule as being on par with what occurred in Nazi Germany, you're undermining the actual horrors committed by humanity during that time.

If you consider everyone that's taken a piss outside of a bathroom or the 17 year old who Snapchat's her boyfriend of the same age as sex offenders, you put them in the same camp as someone who has committed real horrific crimes with actual victims.

Hope to hell and back that you or someone you care about never find themselves cast as a witch in this witch hunt.
On top of that, here's an even worse nightmare scenario:

Clinton gets indicted, destroying her chances in the race, and Trump wins by a landslide. Now, let's take a look at how Trump deals with his rivals. He endorses political violence [0]. He wants to use libel laws to destroy journalists who say bad things about him. Now imagine the lesson Trump would learn from Clinton's indictment: the government can hand the presidency to one candidate by using indictments to take out their only significant rival. Sure, the timing of Clinton's presidential campaign and the email investigation was mostly coincidence, but it won't be coincidence in 2020. Because President Trump, using Clinton as precedent, would order an indictment of whoever the Democrats run against him in 2020 and thus guarantee his re-election. And then, in 2024, he'll use indictments to make sure his hand-picked successor will become the next President of the United States.

You want to save the election system? Don't ever indict a major-party candidate during general election season, especially not when the only remaining candidate is as vindictive as Trump.

You still need to write the initial block of code. Advocating for non-custom elements just because it already exists in Bootstrap or Foundation is an easy way out, especially for UI uses. It doesn't matter how an element was created as long as it's re-useable - there's nothing stopping you from handcrafting your own UI elements and re-using that block in your design system...

But, you have to pay income tax on the value of the shares at the time when they vest, i.e. become non-restricted. You have zero control over that vesting schedule, and thus the tax bill, and you likely wouldn't have a liquid market for the shares before an IPO.

Any gain post-vest can indeed be long-term cap gains, if you hold the shares > 1 year.
Going the cash route has a higher expected value but a lower variance. Different people have different attitudes towards risk.

This is a poor reply. There are 50 states, each with their own policies. Your state may have better policies, but you can't make a national argument by generalizing from your state alone.

And you're cherry picking a single example. The point is not that Mario is blameless – is that they effectively have a life sentence for a crime which did not carry a life sentence.

And relatively benign offences like public urination can carry a life destroying sentence too. You didn't even address the misdemanour element.

Perhaps that is the core complaint. But at the end of the day support for those cards is what we need for our everyday computing.

But again, they don't have control over that situation. So, in the mean time it shouldn't come as a surprise people are looking elsewhere to satisfy their computing requirements.

Common misconception is that companies choose what wage to pay. Unless you're a massively growing startup infused with millions or billions of VC cash, you're pretty much locked into market forces just as the consumer is locked into market prices.

1. Not all employees are paid above market value

2. Working somewhere that software engineering talent is highly respected is no measure of fiscal compensation

3. Those advantages of upward mobility are learnt, or acquired skills that people work at. There is no opportunity for them to be in the same position as a 1%er living off their parents money to invest and then continue to get rich(er)

4. You imply that employees have the ability to negotiate on-par with any investor

5. Your last point about $100k is odd, that's just supply and demand in a free market - and the sentiment is doubley-odd given that employee salaries have stagnated since the 70's, SV salaries have been proven to be (somewhat) rigged, also it is in any companies corporate interests to pay the lowest possible amount for any resource.

Lastly, your point about the 1% of the 1% is off-topic - and I agree that they're not necessarily to blame for the widening gap between rich and poor - but without proper incentives for the 99% to go to work, then that 1% of wealth could become worthless if society revolts because of the disproportionate distribution.

My point is simply that alternative vehicles for employee remuneration need to exist beyond the status-quo that's legally existed for decades.
> Medical professions risk losing a patient or being sued if hey misdiagnose a condition, so the understandable reaction is to throw antibiotics at the problem rather than waiting for test results to come-back to determine whether a specific course of care is appropriate.

As a pharmacist, my experience says otherwise. I think the following are the main reasons for bacterial resistance:

a) Patient doesn't respect doctor's/pharmacist's guidelines. He feels much better after day 3, so he stops his class X ATB in day 4 instead of day 7. If bacteria survives, might very well be class X ATB-resistant.

b) Patient has a relative who when was feeling sick took ATB XYZ and got better. The main reason for this is poverty: A visit to the doctor might cost 25-120 EUR.

c) Hospitals. MRSA became "MR" in hospitals, where bacteria conjugation takes place.

That said, at some in point, we should expect bacterial organisms to evolve some kind of resistance. That's how evolution works.
>"This is deeply wrong. A "true positive" in this context would mean that the resting brain activity of multiple subjects is actually correlated with arbitrary length, randomized, moving test windows."

This is the same misconception I have been trying to dispel. The null hypothesis is not the inverse of that "layman's" statement, it is a specific set of predicted results calculated in a very specific way. It is a mathematical statement, not an English prose statement.

In this case, apparently one part of this calculation (this assumption about autocorrelation, whatever it is doesn't matter to my point) has lead to such a large deviation from the observations that the null model has been rejected. The null model has been rejected correctly. This is not a false positive.

The problem here is not false-positives due to faulty stats. It is the poor mapping between the hypothesis the researchers want to test, and the null hypothesis they are actually testing.

The tools provided by statisticians look like they worked just fine in this case. If the researchers have decided to use them for GIGO, that is not a statistical problem.
I already tweeted this at you, and you already responded, but this is probably a better venue: does your code deal with cards like Mutate Stargod that spawn another number card to your hand?

Your tweet answer was: "Not intentionally, but since we're deploying everything in the same row, it should be able to take advantage of that."

But that doesn't make sense to me - if you optimize for your 9 cards to spawn all 6 available units/cards, but the best solution is still only 5, at the end you might be left with that remaining soldier and a [5] card in your deck - whereas the best solution for the ten cards, including the newly-spawned five, might let you deploy all six units.

(There are other weird edge cases as well, such as the $2 card that lets you discard all of your units and draw 4 new ones.)

You know the simple solution to this is that companies withhold the amount of RSUs from you that would be taxed, when they vest.

Its almost like so simple of a solution that reporters won't touch it.

edit: nevermind. even the company cant pay the tax with their illiquid RSUs so its still a problem, and a bigger problem if the share valuation increases, pre-IPO
