You might like to read "The Minds I", a collection of philosopy edited by Hofstadter & Dennett. It has a number of pieces that address this issue pretty directly, including "Non Serviam" by Stanislaw Lem. In it the writer describes the fictional field of "personics" (we would say "artificial life") and considers the role of a human experimenter in creating artificially intelligent beings that inhabit a virtual world in a computer. From there it considers the question of what rights and obligations creator and creation have to each other. For instance, what would we think of a human who created such a virtual world and then demanded that the inhabitants worship their creator?

I suppose you are right in some extreme sense and technical sense. I would be opening myself up to those repurcussions, but we are all open to them all the time and I would like to think the FBI or whatever SWAT team would send an officer over for a chat after getting an anonymous call from India, instead of just busting a door down.

The foolishness of such moves is why they are newsworthy and many things must fail to make then happen. Perhaps this is why the wikipedia list[1] of them numbers 15 and many several federal charges against the person. These are all crimes that open up that business to risk and legal repercussion. The last thing a scam business wants is an international incident drawing attention to them. I almost welcome if it means the long term shutdown of those parasites.

I'd rather see much larger bulk rates via the USPS for something like "environmental impact".

For example, I'm currently getting no less than 3 letters per week from Spectrum (formerly TWC) promoting their new triple-play plans. I drop all of them in the recycling bin.

I couldn't care less about their bottom line, but I do care about the environmental impact.

At 3x per week, it probably costs them around USD$0.80/week (postage, paper, printing, etc.) to send those 3 letters. Call it USD$1 to make the math easier. I currently pay about $9.03/week. If I upgraded, it would be at least 3x that amount.

I'm not sure how to calculate the profit they would gain after an upgrade, but I can't imagine it would take more than 2-3 months for the new rates to more than cover the mailing fees for an entire year of their letters.

And yet, I'll never upgrade and I hate the waste caused by their practices.
The kicker here is that the option life is 10 years, even if you have left the company. So you can avoid tax by not exercising until you plan to sell. It becomes a personal choice between 1) do i want the option still, even if i quit, and 2) do i plan to have ownership in the company for a period longer than a year before i sell. Typically most people would prefer 1 over 2.

Keep in mind for someone reading this comment, this is about private companies.

This is great write up. Kudos to the author for taking the time. I did have a question about the following sentence:

>"If an employer gives you straight-up shares, then the IRS will tax the shares (at ordinary income rates) when they vest."

What would be treated as income and taxes here, the strike price x the number of options vesting? Is that correct? For regular worker bees this not very much though right? For instance say an employee has 25 shares vest in a quarter and their stick price is $20. 20 x 25 would be $500 more being taxes as income. Or am I completely not understanding something?

If it is not the strike price being taxes as income what is it, since the the value of an option is often unknown to rank and file employees let alone the IRS.
Surely "Why don't you just... ?" is an exceptionally good phrase to use. In practice people mean "Just do ... !", which is very different. The why question, however, gets to the heart of an issue, it's a short hand for "The obvious solution appears to be that ... but I imagine you tried that and have a reason not to do things that way, what are those reasons?". It's a direct learning-centred enquiry that ekes out the kernel of complexity of a situation relying on the wisdom of the person it's aimed at.

So why don't you just use the phrase "Why don't you just ...?"?

What is the general view on this? I don't have an economics background, but.. Well, the 'startup scene' isn't necessarily mature and/or tested enough for employees to be able to take a 10 year risk. In a sense, for a failing startup, stock options might as well be monopoly money.
The part I don't understand:

If you have a known constant output lag, a known constant input lag, but no lag in the monitor for just the track you're recording, it seems like the software has everything it needs to put back the performance exactly the way you recorded it (and to adjust the offset for the click).

Am I missing something?
Increased sizes lead to less effective use of instruction caches. Different use cases will be impacted differently by that, so it's worth profiling your particular application, at least until the size overhead comes down.
Stock options are not complicated. Most people who look into the details of them will find them very plain and actually quite simple. The issue is you don't often deal with this area of finance so it looks foreign until you spend some time looking into the terms.

Your options are a contract between you and the company for you to buy shares at a given price.

If the value of the shares is worth more then you pay, the difference is income. "Value" is a 409a valuation ask your CFO what it when you execute.

Enter the accountant who will tell you how much your liability is for that income ( it varies no more then a dozen other factors affecting your yearly taxes )

Your shares are illiquid, and likely worthless. VC's and other institutional investors have contracts with the company that means they will get paid well before and much better then you. This should really be the first point since you should have known this when accepting your compensation package.

Ask HN: What to do when arbitrarily losing a ccTLD domain?
I owned a domain under a ccTLDs, the domain was in perfect condition, no where near to be expired, it was showing a white index (was not in use), it was a complety generic word (no copyright infringement), it was not an offensive domain, etc.. In other words the domain did not break any point in the TOS; it was just a complety regular domain.

Today, I was checking my domains panel and noticed the domain was gone, I inmediatly ran a whois on said domain and it is now owned by a goverment organization, I was never notificated or emailed about the situation. There was absolutely no reason for for it to be taken away from me. This was a clear arbitrary action.

So far I still have had no communication with the NIC that handles this ccTLDs, I am trying to get all the info I can about this before I do it, I've had problems with this NIC before and I want to be prepared, the flow of communication with them is really poor and I've seen them do really "unprofessional" processes/actions before and I am really worried here.

So, how should I appeal/complaint?, is this normal on other ccTLDs? is there a higher international instance that I can contact? Did any of you had a similar experience?

Thank you!

There are all sorts of examples of closed and anti-competitive and collusive markets. So no, it is false to say "if enough people care...the market would follow". That doesn't always happen, there have to be many buyers and sellers first off, and we don't have a competitive market in smart phone software or hardware at all.

I'd also argue culture has made owning a mobile device a function of being socially acceptable. It's more weird today to go to a bar and say, "yeah I left my phone at home on purpose" than to say "yeah I'm an atheist" 20 years ago. So it's quite nearly socially unacceptable to not have a mobile phone.

Understand that the U.S. is a liberal democracy, a constitutional democracy, and its constitution prescribes quite a number of things including the power of the people to define an economic system and the means to regulate it. Market failures are why we get legislated alternatives. You can dislike it all you want, but some fairy tale notion of either capitalism or free markets is not a requirement of this government's founding documents.

The use of unencrypted HTTP is probably deliberate to allow it to be used on even very dumb devices like feature phones (see http://txti.es/images/images) and to remove the 1 to 2-RTT latency penalty for TLS 1.2 connections since that can matter when your connection latency is on the order of seconds.

To me, it doesn't look like any attempt to change history. They did try to make it more clear that it was their issue, and not Ragel's. But, any initial appearance of that seems accidental.
"So it records the calling convention, architecture flags, alignment, and other ABI pieces etc?"

No. At the moment it records the AST in the object file, because the inliner works at the Go AST level. In the future it may instead record the SSA representation (which would obviously give better cost estimates; the current heuristics are really extremely simple).

"FWIW: Writing out the info is usually not the hard part, actually, and is unrelated to the DAG-ness of the packages."

The DAG-ness means it's always available when compiling the call site, even if it's a cross-package call. It means you don't have to do it at link time.
Okay, I see. But somehow someone in your company found out about them before they could sign mutual NDAs, right? How does that happen? Do you just need a higher-up who's friends with the right people?
Forcing a measurement is easy. The language would have something like:

result = measure q

Forgetting to use that was the source of the bug in the post. The code should have read `if measure qubit`.

'Caught you peeking' depends on what you mean. Measurement has effects that matter, and you can check for those effects. You run the circuit many times, collect statistics, and thereby figure out what the black box is doing. But there's no primitive operation like "is qubit not measured".
I have a hard time blaming either of those on design flaws.

Is the author saying that Trump should be impeached, or that he actually could be impeached? Sounds like the former to me.
Lots of thoughts on this. It's a really interesting area, and the paper doesn't gloss over the challenges. Important caveat right at the top though:

"Progress in DNA storage has been rapid: in 1999, the state- of-the-art in DNA-based storage was encoding and recovering a 23 character message [7]; in 2013, researchers successfully recovered a 739 kB message"

That's not a terribly large message. The difficulty of synthesizing large tracts of DNA reliably is a major bottleneck. It was a huge accomplishment when a full, relatively small genome (1x10^6 bases, humans are ~3x10^9) was synthesized in 2010 [1]. Granted for storage purposes, fully synthetic DNA may not be required, but it's still hard to assemble pre-existing DNA into very large constructs.

Sequencing the message itself is on its surface not too hard, I think a current-gen high throughput sequencer can read up to 2 trillion bases in a single run. It's not super fast (1-2d turnaround), or random access though, and the random access nature is one of the innovations in the paper. Still some sequencing approaches are a little quicker it should be possible to leverage modern sequencing tech to make this suitable for archive-level purposes.

Other thoughts on the paper: they have a cool take on how to avoid errors (Huffman code), and take advantage of highly parallel DNA synthesis approaches by properly segmenting the data they want to store into useful chunks. You still have to avoid errors in synthesis and replication for DNA storage, and they take steps to mitigate risk there.

Anyway, cool paper, if anyone knows more about the state of the art of long-DNA strand synthesis I'd love to hear about it!

One word: leverage.

While your $50k investment is making 6% ($3,000/yr) interest in an index fund, my $50k downpayment on a $500k house is making average of 6% ($30,000/yr) equity growth. And I get to deduct the mortgage interest, taxes and maintenance costs of the house while someone else pays most of the mortgage.

Given that this article only touches on the supply of these drugs, is there a tacit assumption that the demand for opioids is driven by unemployment? If so, what can be done about the demand for these drugs in the long term? "Bringing back jobs" to those people whose comparative advantage is no longer manufacturing by taxing robots or imposing tariffs is a temporary stall, and to the degree it does work it amounts to a fat, inefficient handout.

Fighting the "epidemic" at the supply level seems like a losing battle, as it is for the hard drugs that plague inner cities. Addressing it at the demand level has to be the answer, but I don't see any possible answers floated.
If somebody asked why Hypothetical Dave opened a bakery and Dave answered "So this town would have a source of bread," I think it would be reasonable to find that strange. He isn't explicitly saying nobody has done it before, but the answer is weird if it's already been done.

I mean, creating an unnecessary programming language isn't strange — it's extremely common, and some are even good. But providing a rationale for creating the language that doesn't explain why you created the language is a bit odd, isn't it?
By "caught you peeking" I meant something reminiscent of the "taint" mechanism you see in languages like Perl and Ruby. Once the qubit was measured, it would be marked so, and the compiler or interpreter would complain if you attempted to use it as if it were unmeasured.
