If you are going to tax values of the shares then you have to decide _some_ price. What is the alternative? Using the last financing round is just as crazy and even easier to game.

We scam you with the 409a and you scam us with the AMT.
The fact is that nobody can really know with certainty the true valuation of an early-stage company. Even venture investors just come to a negotiated deal and subsequent events often prove them wrong. That said, the definition of true value is probably whatever price is implied by a market deal between a willing seller and buyer both of which have access to all relevant facts and neither of which is under any compulsion to do a deal (so basically a venture capital transaction would qualify). The article correctly points out that valuation firms aren't market participants (i.e., actual buyers) so they are just doing their best to guess at a value--not establishing a value. The article also points to false precision--which most honest valuation folks agree to. They still have to do their best to come up with a defensible valuation but they recognize that it is just an educated guess. Finally the article points to the difference between common and preferred stock prices as if that is a scam. While you can definitely debate how close the two should be relative to each other, it's totally crazy (IMHO) to say that common should have the same value as preferred.
This is sarcasm, right?
That's the point. If the IOUs have to be repaid with extra tax revenues, it is functionally equivalent to a deficit and not really a "trust fund."
You'd think that the link between "eating less" and "losing weight" is so well-proven that any subsequent study would re-validate it. Yet there's not a single study where 100% of participants who cut their caloric intake lost weight in 100% of the cases. The reports, at best, are "inconclusive". http://time.com/2809007/eat-less-exercise-more-isnt-the-answ...

On a global scale countries low on the obesity scale (Japan, Singapore, Korea, France) are not teeming with starving under-nourished citizens, and countries high on the obesity scale (Mexico, US) are not lacking gyms, exercise equipment, or opportunities for simple nature walks.

We need an overhaul of private stock options in general. These shares sit at the bottom of the capital stack which means as that stack gets higher risks increase. The fact that someone needs to pay tax before these options are excerised is ridiculous. If the US wants to stimulate innovation they should stop gouging risk taking employees and focus their efforts on Wall Street.
To me "hot" starts at 80F and "cold" around 40F. When cooking I frequently care about temperature relative to the boiling point when deciding what temp to set the oven or water bath to.

I'm living in a bubble too where people's memory of the mid 1990s when things went to shit, and the mid 1980s when things when to shit, and the 1970s when things went to shit are gone.

The US had a wake-up call in 2008 that a lot of countries missed. Canada snoozed right through that and went on trucking like we'll never have to deal with a downturn.

That's why creaky, practically condemned houses are selling for over $1M: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/toronto/a-million... It's "detached" so it's obviously worth a million bucks since that's the average price of these things now.

What if that house goes for $2M? $5M? $20M? The bubble must give out at some point. Those prices will not keep going up forever.
409a includes the valuation of the stock held, which is often discounted by "accepted discount factors" such as illiquidity discount and marketability discount. The latter being the fact that a common shareholder often has resale restrictions on their stock.
Sure, it's important.

In the meantime, I note that you could have chosen, in response to a post on International Women's Day, to show appreciation to black _women_ and latina _women_ in tech, and recognize the issues that they face on all of these fronts. You chose not to do so. Hence it seems to me like your purpose here might be to draw attention away from those women, because you don't think they need your support or solidarity. Was that your intent?
Yup, sorry, my bad. 60 dB is definitely loud enough to be annoying. Still, 8 GPUs are not 8x louder than one, which was the main point.
CV will be the technology that kills what jobs we still have left: in agriculture (picking fruit, weeding), in logistics (picking items from shelves), in custodial work (cleaning bots), security, driving, reading MRIs and x-rays - practically all the jobs that depended on vision and could only be done by people in the last 60 years are going to be automated. When CV is fully deployed, the world will be totally different.

I'm pretty excited about precision agriculture, but for plant-life on earth it will mean that now really there will grow nothing outside the system. Bots are going to monitor all plant life. It might be plant-utopia for some species, with timely water and nutrient dispensing, but for other species it might mean being automatically killed by agrobots.

Because it's somewhat a cross cultural and cross racial issue --that is women don't only get the lower hand among white men (in given industries, sectors), but also non-white women are also disincentivized within/among other "races" and cultures, so it's a pan-human issue. women are ~50% of the pop across all races and cultures (sometimes less so due to active pop. suppression).
Some of the most talented work intelligence but not necessarily for intelligence agency. AFAIK those guys come up with 0 days and put them for sale on the open market where all kind of bad guys buy them, not only the intelligence agencies (who are bad guys themselves).
People who claim that 'women earn 77 cents on the dollar as compared to men' - when studies overwhelmingly show that this is false when taking into consideration roles and hour etc. - are definitely 'dividing genders'.

Pay equity debates require nuance. Most of those promoting the issue seem to fail to grasp that.

That there are some sexist pigs in the world (ie. some guy at Uber), does not make the world full of sexist pigs. It doesn't necessarily even make Uber full of them, although it's more plausible.

Almost all politicians involved in the issue are divisive, because that's what gets them attention, and riles up the base.

Watch some of the 'not popular' politicians do interviews on the news. They are refreshingly reasonable. On all sides.

Radio Shack Files for Bankruptcy Protection, Again
actually GP, but it has held me back in the past.

I'm writing a transpiler that uses global information from codebases, and so it transpiles potentially hundreds of files at once and creates rather complex data structures. Compute bound for quite a while, so I tried speeding it up with multiprocessing (since multithreading would be useless). But with multiprocessing it took longer to serialize/deserialize the complex datastructures for each process, so I had to give up. Next time I have time for this I'd probably try to use Jython as a drop-in replacement and see whether I can get it to run with GIL-less multithreading.

Or rather "alcohol bad, caffeine good". The author is from Cato Institute - are they planning to bring Prohibition back now? Anyway here are a few major holes in the story.

- "People drank alcohol because it was safer than water". If you want safe water, all you have to do is boil it. A lot simpler than beer brewing.

- "People became smarter after the Englightenment and started drinking coffee instead of alcohol". How about drinking coffee in addition to alcohol? The coffee houses developed in parallel with the beer houses, not instead of them. We recently had an article on HN that made the point that alcohol consumption actually increased in the 19th century.

- "Adam Smith was so smart because he drank coffee". He also drank lots of wine - preferably Bordeaux (or claret, as they called it in Scotland). Some of the most bitter passages in Wealth of Nations are directed against the British government using taxation to promote port wine (Portugal was a British ally) over claret (France was usually an enemy).
There was a cherry tree in the backyard of a house I used to live in and every year the fruit would get funky and ferment. Birds and squirrels would make a habit of eating it and the backyard would be filled birds all flopping around and squirrels trying but mostly failing to find their way up trees. They knew what they were getting into, and they indulged. For about one week a year it was like a frat house out there.

I can imagine people discovered the principle there, but brewing on a more industrial scale is necessary to provide a steady supply. Just about anything can be fermented, but that proecess takes time to do properly. It's a form of farming.

So yeah, you can forage for it, but you'll get so little it's barely worth the trouble.
Yes, but those are widely implemented and thus available more or less everywhere. I'd rather use a slightly less ideal hash function, than use an untested one.

"As far as I know" implies that I might not know, so that's not an extraordinary claim.

You haven't actually verified SROA. The scalar replacement didn't kick in for the non-inlined method, so this could be a result of loop-specific optimizations. The code is also far from optimal, but that's besides your point of course.

Also note that you're testing an RC of the latest version. There's a feature request for SROA from 2013, so it may be implemented by now:

>In some fields of engineering (EE, for example), women actually get paid more (104% last I checked).

As you can see, you disagree with the commenter I was responding to. They think women only get paid more in "some" fields, not most.

The original comment is both inconsistent with itself, and your comment.
The problem doing DLL injections is you are dropping things directly to the disk which is a great way to get AVs attention. Heuristics based detection can be a pain in the ass here and you want your rootkit to be able to be 'unique' for every installation if possible.

Also rootkits are way overrated. What you do when you compromise an organization is you open a connection to your C&C on a few machines to keep your foothold if any reboot. If you need to get in you just connect to one of those boxes and just continue on. You never have to drop anything on the hard disk which makes it much stealthier.
Exactly, that's a much more elegant way of putting it. Simply removing components isn't a powerful enough technique to understand the meaning of the component.

The author of Notepad++ even said it, "It doesn't prevent your original notepad++.exe from being replaced by modified notepad++.exe while the CIA is controlling your PC."

DIY Tile/Trackr - Getting started with iBeacons and BLE
I haven't read overly deep into the documents, but if they have rootkits for the main devices (iPhone, android, linux, OSX, windows) that you are using E2E encryption on they can easily sit between the decryption layer and the user.

> Is your neighbor watching you, ready to report you to the state for suspected subversive activities?

This is possible and more probable than it used to be a couple decades ago. But it's more under the guise of "terrorism" than subversion nowadays.

And it's not neighbor but the middle man between you and people you interact online with that is doing the surveillance (ever heard of facebook ? google ?). It's been a little while now since we've entered the surveillance capitalism society and it is dealing with subversion through behavioral prediction and modification.

It's already in use, one example is police in California.
"Higher skill" would be a better description, although I'd say the gap is a lot smaller with test engineers than nurses.

What you need to do is to take the top prediction and see how accurate it is compared to a test set. The scores on the picture represent confidence not accuracy.
Agreed. A turing-complete language isn't the ideal choice for smart contracts. A strongly typed ML or Haskell style language would have been a much better choice as a starting point.
Lack of clean water is a huge issue today, much less in historic times before germ theory. Anyone who says otherwise is stunningly ignorant. That they so blithely claim otherwise tells me that they don't know what they're talking about.

to be fair, it is quite possible an app does not need a dozen different services, and using them would just introduce unnecessary complexity.

E.g. slashdot used to run with, IIRC, only 4 roles: memcached, reverse proxy, apache, and mysql.

We actually only partner with one for new formations, and it's a great one. But yea, if you only need a registered agent, it wouldn't make sense to use us. However, if your goal is to set up a startup properly (i.e. how good attorneys in Silicon Valley would do it), then we've got what you need :)

Sure, I guess I'm just used to writing my performance bottlenecks in a lower level language already, so I'm used to the GIL not actually being held most of the time in any intensive computation.

So if I want to call two Fourier transform functions at the same time in Python I can, because neither of them is implemented in Python and so they don't hold the GIL.

That's the kind of parallelism use case I most often see come up, so although the GIL dismayed me early on I've come to see it as pretty irrelevant.

But maybe it makes more sense for other applications, for the performance critical parts of the code to be actual pure Python. I do mostly numerical simulations, so pure Python is usually a non-starter, you fix that long before you think about parallelism.

Indeed. The first is the state of matter and has been for quite a while, the second is wishful thinking.
After reading the paper, I felt disappointed that: 1) Bizur is used for building a scalable object storage rather than a filesystem, which does not even support atomic rename for single key (the hash of key will change, it will be moved to another bucket without any transactional guarantee) 2) Bizur itself looks like a sharded Raft group, which is already used in TiDB (one raft group per region).

This is our software to help you build your own novel synthetic proteins if you want to give it a try yourself right now in your browser (built with Go and Ember!):

https://serotiny.bio/

No knowledge of DNA or cloning techniques are needed to use it. Drag and drop protein domains with the functions you want to produce a single protein with those functions. And if you wish, we can help place the order for your design with a DNA synthesizer so that the DNA that encodes your new protein arrive in the mail. Entire companies are founded on single good ideas for how to assemble these protein parts. Come up with your own.

It's also a great place to learn about how others are designing their synthetic proteins. The intent is to build up a plain language app-store for all of these various capabilities, as well as keep track of how the various proteins get used. At the end of the day it's not the DNA that does anything in an organism, it's the proteins that are really the machines of your body. If the DNA is the source code, the proteins are the apps themselves. DNA is cool and philosophical, but proteins are useful.

Here is a list and short description of proteins as they've come up on HN in the past few months. I've been trying to keep a list of 'proteins of interest' that have some social, economic, or medical interest to Hacker News:

There's the same amount of sparks but now instead of the sparks being on a grounded part of the engine away from the battery the sparking occurs right at the terminals. The problem with bad batteries is that it might not just be dead, batteries will vent hydrogen and oxygen and on batteries that lost most of the electrolyte in a cell they might have enough hydrogen in them to blow the battery apart and throw acid over the person jumping the battery.

Also, the risk of battery acid leaking is probably a good bit better than you might think. If you just grab a run of the mill car battery there's a very good chance that it's just a regular old wet cell battery with an open vent so it'll leak acid if you turn it upside down.
