It takes for me 10 min to get to gym, dress up, 10 min to come back home and 10 min to have a shower after the gym. How did you manage fit any actual exercise in 30 min of time?

This is the current meme on Hacker News, but IMHO the pendulum has swung too far.

You should absolutely be very careful about working for an early-stage startup as an employee and taking options or equity in lieu of part of your salary. You should feel that you trust the founders. You should insist that they've figured out a.) who their customers are b.) why they want the product and c.) how to make money, and have some concrete evidence that the customers do in fact want the product. You should ask about the cap table, and liquidation preferences, and anticipated future dilution, and know what percentage of the company you'll own and how much you'll make under a variety of exit scenarios.

But if the numbers look good and you have solid evidence that people want the company's product, oftentimes taking more equity is the right move. Equity aligns your incentives with the company and ensures that if it does well, you do well. Under capitalism, taking cash is a loser's bargain, not in the sense that you always make less money (you often make more), but in the sense that cash dominates equity only if you've picked a losing organization. To the extent that most organizations lose, this can be rational, but to the extent that you're an independent economic actor trying to maximize your returns, it's often worth putting in the research to try and maximize your chance of picking a winner, particularly given the other career benefits of having a hot startup on your resume.
It's a rationale explanation and I see a part of it. It's not like McDonalds, where they have a corporate owned store and a franchisee store. Any price difference would be measured in nickels and no one is going to drive to the other side of the city to buy a burger. But if a corporate dealer can knock off $1,000 on a car just because there is no middle man, I can see why no one would want to franchise a dealership.

It's stuck between a rock and a hard place.

If men can see other women, but women must be 'faithful' with only one man, there's a clear scaling limitation. And I am assuming he was not bi. He should have said "We can have sex with other women", then he'd not be restricting here. /sarcasm
Have you looked at about:config recently? :)
I'll second the pomodoro technique, which is also talked about in Coursera's Learning How to Learn course as a means of battling procrastination and tough tasks. It's great for building momentum. I've been using it throughout 2016 and have found it SUPER effective at breaking out of funks.

I don't 'dress for work' but I do have rituals, specifically always having a healthy breakfast, meditating with music/lit candle for 20 mins before starting the day, and heading to the gym for a refresher in the middle of the day. The benefit of working from home is that you can create your own workspace so I'd say cherish that privilege and make it a space and routine that you want. Customize it to what feels comfortable and desirable.

Also I really can't emphasize getting outside and socializing. One of the negatives about working on your own is being inside your head too much whereby you unknowingly create blindspots and a distorted view. Try to find a meetup that meets regularly (once a week) because it'll help keep you social and may also instill a sense of urgency (i.e. "I have to finish this work now in order to make sure I can leave in the evening for that meetup."). My quality of life skyrocketed once I found two meetups that coalesced amazing individuals.
If you figure out how to build a 600Gbps DDoS attack with Firefox, you are correct, that still qualifies as a DDoS and you can go to jail for it already. People have been tried in court for using Low Orbit Ion Cannon before, in a few extremely isolated instances. A DDoS is a DDoS, but intent is obviously important, and you do need to actually cause a problem for there to be a crime. I think clicking reload a couple times would be a stretch here for enforcement, perhaps it's possible but AFAICT it's not yet happened.

But we aren't talking about protest with a reload macro here, these are for-profit criminal botnets. And one if them just took down the largest DDoS mitigation network in the world. Which means there aren't many sites on earth left they can't take down. Much smaller attacks have nuked Github for days. Who's next to get "freedom of speeched"?

He wiped Bush, Cruz, and even the superstar politician Rubio off the map, spending a fraction of what they did in doing it as well.

Say what you will about his views, many of which I personally find refreshing, but saying he isn't a good politician flies completely in the face of the facts of this election cycle.

A device could be made to work that way. I'm not aware of any that have that feature built in. You could certainly use something like Llama to turn wifi on or off depending on where you are located, but that isn't quite what you asked for. I don't know if Android or iOS have APIs available for an app to automatically add/remove wifi networks, but if they do, then that would be useful for achieving what you suggest.

If you are not currently working for Big Tobacco, then you should be. You just convinced me to start smoking.
Yes, we are lamenting the situation. There is no incentive for companies to go beyond the rather lame line of duty. So we're left with an industry full of holes.
To smoke. I do know people who make a point of buying a couple boxes of the Cuban UK Regional editions as long term investments but personally I'm not interested in that, I buy what I enjoy to smoke in years to come, the trick is not smoking them all before they've had chance to age well, I've not really mastered it yet...

School quality also affects home buyer location preference significantly in Canada as well. But Canada doesn't feature this particular financial feedback loop (though there's another feedback loop of well-learned students attracting more parents with well-learned children. But that is not institutionalized and far less severe a problem).
When a new round is raised, the price paid by the investor gets her a preferred share. How does one compute the FMV of common stock compared to this? Specifically, are there any regulations regarding the max discount that can be applied to the price paid by the last investor to get the FMV of the common stock?

I recently came across a case where the FMV of common stock was only few %ge points less than what the last investor paid. But the investor was rumored in the press to have gotten significant privileges (a ratchet) for that price. So I was surprised that the prices were so close. Does anyone know why that could be so?

...that a few, inexpensive practices stop almost all the common methods currently. There's also frameworks and stacks that immunize web applications against common ones for them with little to no effort by developers. These fit parent's claim where you just follow basic, security advice with available tools for each category to stop many attacks.

Now, that's not going to cover everything. A dedicated, professional attacker or team targeting your individual business might break past it all. Most breaches we see, though, are companies not doing the basics.

Been using this site before and the only thing which bothers me is the moving background color. While it is a nice addition on desktop, it makes my 2015 Macbook's fans blow after some seconds.

I would suggest looking for less computing intensive way to make the backgrounds work like they do now.

Either way, it's not a huge deal since I seldom watch the site for longer than those few seconds, but I have clicked the alternative links on Google a few times just to see if they would function any better.
I just wanted to thank you for sharing your experiences! I think you are a great inspiration to me and many others, for when our inevitable moment comes. It occurred to me that we are not really prepared for 'the art of dying' (sorry, for the lack of a better term), it is somehow a large taboo.

According to these links, they will probably work in an actual case. They can be revoked at any time, making them inapplicable to future patent use which was not already going on for some period of time.

Definitely not anywhere near as binding as the MIT license, but it's not a good comparison anyways, MIT addresses only covers only copyright and patent law is a very different and separate area of law.

The filesystem metadata queries were real-time back when spinning disks were much slower and neither the processing power or ram was comparable to what we have today. With today's machines we do not have the same experience under Windows, macos, GNOME, KDE. Feature-wise yes, performance no. Is there a technical reason we couldn't have the same filesystem integration? No, there isn't, it's just incompatible priorities and half-baked 2nd system syndrome in effect and repeated all the time.
It's somewhat infuriating that the IRS doesn't just send you a bill. It has full data on every form you put into TurboTax. It runs its own calculations independently and checks them against your return. It has full knowledge of the tax code. If you disagree with it, the IRS just tacks on penalties & interest and eventually garnishes your wages. Why not just send a bill?
Specific numbers are debatable, but extrapolating based on percentages is reasonable, IMO. Still, let's start by defining terms. EX: I am not going to call the 35+ million deaths from China's Great Famine as religious in nature, though some would consider the communist ideology as 'religion' as it included a state religious stance. However, the potato famine did have a very strong religious undercurrent. Clearly every death was not from famine but adding a religious multiplier seems reasonable IMO.

However, it's not just direct deaths, killing off cats during the black death significantly increased the death total resulting in millions of additional dead. Bad religious based medical care is clearly related. Blocking stem cell research is just the most recent example of superstition slowing progress, though that's much harder to estimate. More recently it's probably one of the largest killers, but I don't think this extrapolates as well to the past so I am willing to ignore it.

As to violence, historically it was much more common. Europe’s murder rate was 30 times higher in the Middle Ages than it is today. And looking at remote tribes the rates where often 20-30% of the population dead by human hands. http://reason.com/archives/2012/01/11/the-decline-of-violenc... So, religious deaths where likely more common historically, however I am willing to call this a wash.

"Cultural" practices and religions are related at some level. I would call most honor killings ~(5,000 - 20,000)/year are religious in nature. Suicides are harder to qualify, while some really are religious you can only really get at this from aggregate statistics. Indirect deaths from religious limitations on diet for example are even harder to quantify.

Religious ceremonies can also be deadly. Though again, hard to get real numbers. But, the aztecs empire killed millions (~20,000 per year), and human sacrifice was surprisingly common worldwide.

Ethic cleansing is often religious in nature specific cases are debatable, but ~100 million is probably in the right ballpark over the last 1,000 years.

Anyway, adding these up I get ~250 to 500 million over the last 1,000 years. Now find ratio from total people alive since year 1,000, subtract out the currently living population, then * ~100 billion dead.

End result I get billions, however this has a lot of assumptions and I may be underestimating these numbers in many places. For example, the 100 billion humans is based on the first human showing up 50k years ago, 200,000 years is also a reasonable number for the first human.

It was a rhetorical question defending the idea that all Americans, including Hillary, should be able to arm themselves in self-defense. Watch the full source material. "Watch them do X and let's see what happens" is a common form of framing a rhetorical question in New York when complaining about a bad idea. Sure, his mentioning of a specific individual in the context of gun control hypotheticals (instead of using a hypothetical individual) is an insensitive gaffe, but that's really all you can reasonably conclude about the statement.

There are activists who routinely call for mass disarmament of citizens (entirely seriously and not as a form of rhetorical exploration), and it is unreasonable to conclude that the activists are "hinting" at or condone any kind of authoritarianism or genocide that may coincidentally result after such a policy is implemented. Don't muddle the discourse further with similarly unreasonable conclusions.

My junior/senior high school charged no tuition -- just fees and books. Entrance was based on grades/test scores/personal interview.

I did not grow up in NYC, but there are several free public high schools for gifted scientists and engineers to be including Stuyvesant High School and the Bronx School of Science. Entrance is based on merit.

So, it is certainly possible to get a top rated education not coming from "privilege." Other communities offer Magnet Schools and more should be offering them. A huge systemic problem in this country is that we spend enormous sums of money for "special education" but very little for academically gifted children. That is a real problem.

If one is concerned that children "without privilege" can get to be scientists and engineers and so on, then they should be solving a systems problem which is not enough public Magnet Schools for academically gifted children.
That's exactly what I was trying to say thank you. I'm not a native english speaker so I'm struggling with the right choice of words and overall sentence structure which often confuses others.
No, you realize ordinary income tax on the spread, which is payable in full in the year realized (or in the year to which it is deferred under this measure) while the loss of the stock value is a capital loss, which can only be offset against other capital gains or deducted at the rate of $3,000 per year. So you could easily have a situation in which you realize tens or hundreds of thousands in ordinary income on which you must pay tax and have only the ability to deduct $3,000/yr against that income, i.e., a tax disaster.
>By offering simplicity. Taking a step back to before C++. And providing a better C. C + strings + GC + map + slice(array) + json/xml parsing + http transport layer (server & client). What else do you need?

Language consistency (no magical functions like "make" or magical items like slices), DRYness (generics), better type-safety than C (interface{} is the void * of the 21st century), would be a good start.

Due to the mandatory GC, it's also not a C replacement where C is good at. Hence the backtrack on "systems", etc.
That is not too high a bar to set for an application that's billed as, among other things, a tool for professionals.
> There is a difference between creating new genes and merely shifting the distribution of existing genes within a population.

On one level, there is -- creating new genes (most of which aren't useful and are rapidly selected out, but a very small percentage of which are useful and retained) is what mutation does.

OTOH, substantively, the means by which new features get distributed after mutation creates them (either selected out or retained and spread) is exactly the same way in which the distribution of existing features changes (since it is a change in distribution of existing features, once the mutation happens), so there's little practical difference once you accept that mutation exists, which is well established separately.
> Frankly I wonder how you hit a wall without having done anything reckless or dangerous yourself

You are just being a jerk, making assumptions and being judgmental. You obviously never heard of "innocent until proved guilty".

> You'd have taken the lives of a family.

Who said "family"?

> How could you argue that that would in any way be okay?

When did I said that? That it would be okay? I never said anything like that. Frankly, your reading comprehension skills are below par.

My point, in the context of the discussion, is that good, innocent, hard-working people sometimes also go to jail due to circumstances beyond their control.

Accidents happen, and not always due to recklessness. Maybe you have super-human driving skills with sub nanosecond reaction times. Maybe you are flawless, faultless, perfect. Most people aren't that exemplary.

Anecdotally I use twitter to advertise my SaaS monitoring product, Cronitor, with far more success than we found with AdWords. The ad platform feels easier to use, and promoting content on Twitter is less of a time investment vs selecting, culling, and optimizing sets of keywords.
I love this and would use it if I could actually install it on a modern machine, say a netbook/chromebook/winbook (I'd have to hunt around for a good browser build, SSH and remote desktop, but I like to think those exist/are feasible to self-build).
Twitter is also pretty heavy-handed on its censorship of US politics. For instance by blacklisting trending topics such as #WhichHillary when it had gained momentum. (when the protester went to her event with the quote about 'super predators' + #WhichHillary on a banner)
See I knew there would be someone else on here who knew better :)

Anyway, my only elaboration on point 4 and 5 is that most options agreements have vesting ~~terms~~ schedules (and they typically include 1-year cliffs). So even under ideal conditions you will have to wait a certain amount of time before exercising.

The correct acronym for SLS is Senate Launch System.
At line rate, with millions of small packets coming in every second, even counting the number of packets per flow, a prerequisite for some of the simplest mitigation strategies, is really hard (often requires either expensive hardware like ternary content-addressable memory, or exotic data structures like counter braids that are very expensive to decode). A lot of the time people try to get around this by probabilistic sampling, etc. Similarly, MICA's ability to handle key value lookups at line rate on commodity hardware was considered a big success in the database community: https://www.usenix.org/node/179748. Hopefully that should be a good indicator of the challenges inherent in performing any sort of nontrivial computation at line rate, even really, really simple computation.

(This is why most DDOS mitigation strategies involve getting peers to load balance their traffic when it's still manageable, rather than buying bigger and bigger pipes; it's also why ultimately a large part of the responsibility for handling DDOS attacks rests on the shoulders of ISPs).

Hah, I'm very hesitant to discuss cigar smoking outside of forums dedicated to it because people tend not to know a lot about it and lump it in with cigarettes.

In reality they're quite different, for one I have personally never found cigars in any way addictive, they certainly do have nicotine in them, lots of nicotine but since you don't inhale (mouth only) cigar smoke it seems like you don't get the super fast hit that cigarette smokers do which in turn means they're not addictive? I'm not sure of the science behind it, all I know is myself and the others who I know in the hobby do consider cigars a hobby to be picked up and put down, in a weird way the actual collecting becomes more important than the smoking. I know people who maybe smoke 1 cigar a month but are constantly buying and selling to expand their collections.
