It's not super easy for Chinese nationals to move to Taiwan (Due to regular threats from Chinese generals, blocking Taiwan's bid to join the UN repeatedly for decades, "Anti-secession" laws requiring invading TW, etc).

Even setting the political issues aside, Taiwan, Thailand and Macau are all pretty bad choices. They don't have particularly cheap power and they're hot, which drives up cooling and thus power requirements.

Iceland is still pretty much ideal. It has cheap Geothermal power and natural cooling.

My Startup – JMatcher
I have developed a demo working website. It is like a social media job portal where there are 2 logins. One for the recruiter and one for the job seekers. The recruiters can post jobs and then see the applicants who have applied to that job opening. It will give them a match percentage of all the applicants. The recruiters can manage the weightage of importance like 50% for skill set, 30% for experience and 20% for education. Match will be provided based on the criteria provided by the recruiter. The job seeker can also see how much that job matches to his profile and then can apply accordingly.
Advantage - The recruiters can directly shortlist candidates based on their match percentage. So no need to look at all the candidates. The job seekers can see what jobs they match the best to and can apply to those rather than applying to all the job openings.
A very small segment of the rich who rely on dividend payments for cashflow and are not financially savvy enough to hold dividend-producing stocks in a trust or tax-shielded accounts.

Special provision for higher tax on dividend income after a certain threshold (a) complicates the tax code (b) increases the cost of tax preparation, therefore removing disposable income that would be spent elsewhere from those sectors of the economy and (c) encourages companies to favor stock buybacks over dividend payments, which introduces its own distortions into the economy.

And oh, by the way, it's completely avoidable if you suspect your income will exceed $200k and are willing to spend 10 minutes to rebalance your taxable accounts in favor of growth stocks, real estate and municipal bonds.

Other than that it's an excellent provision in the tax code.
Actually I think he's doing a really good job and honestly im looking forward to 7.5 more years of his presidency.

I just wish the establishment Republicans would retire already and get the hell out of the way.
"Income tax is the wrong way to tax the extremely wealthy."

That's my point.

The top income tax brackets are designed for, and sold to voters as, appropriate rates for the "super rich".

So to whatever degree you feel this is a bad tool for that job, I would hope you'd recognize that, therefore, the income ranges for those very high rates are not appropriate.

As I pointed out, those top rates aren't for millions or tens of millions of dollars of income - they are for (roughly) $400k.

What happens in this scenario?

N=1 anecdote from a traditionally managed Japanese company.

If you (a twenty-something Japanese man) happen to say お先に失礼します。(announcing you're leaving) at 6:00 PM in front of the company's CEO during a site visit, and the CEO says, in a shocked voice, "I suppose you have somewhere more important to be right now.", and you say "Yes, I'm going on a date.", you can look forward to six months of nuclear-tipped ostracism from your colleagues and, when you complain to management about it, they will tell you "[Foreign employee] is more Japanese than you are; ask him."
I've thought for a while now that the design of the internet may have been fundamentally sabotaged by that fact that it was primarily created by government funded academics. In that scenario, there wasn't any need to attach a price to any part of the resources used by this new creation, since it's creators paid few if any costs for it themselves. So eventually the internet grew up to be fundamentally free, where to charge a price to download a webpage goes against every instinct baked into the system and the user.

What other method of information transfer has no default method of requiring payment before transferring information? If the internet had had to pay for itself at any point during it's beginning, you can bet that HTTP status code "402 Payment Required" wouldn't of sat abandoned for 20 years with no implementation.

Why is the assumption of 0.01% absurd? From what I have seen, that's exactly what an early employee can expect. 10% of the available stock gets split between the early employees, most of which (9%) goes to the founders/c-suite. The other 90% is reserved for investors, of which the founder(s) may be one.

If you have 100 employees by the time you exit, and 1% of the stock was divided among them (exactly the situation where I am), each would get.. 0.01%. That is 0.0001 of the issued shares..... as options.

This is no longer uncommon.
That seems unlikely to hold up in court. Sega v. Accolade was a very similar situation, and the court found that Accolade's use of a copyrighted string (the "Trademark Security System") was acceptable as an unavoidable requirement of Sega's console.

That's true, but even with size-adjusted titles you can get faster promotions in a startup. It's pretty common to go from being an individual contributor to running a small team to running a larger team, all within a year or two at a startup. That sort of career growth is unheard of at more established companies.
> It might be because earlier acquisitions are an easier exit than trying to become a self-sustaining company with predictable growth?

This is exactly it.
From the landing page, it's not clear what actual usage looks like. How do I send a message? How are messages received? Is this just another CUI chat client, or does it actually decompose chat actions such that they're accessible from the shell?

I took a swing at the latter a while back (as a libpurple client); it was interesting.

You are confusing what I've said. Just because he's an idiot doesn't mean that he's not effective. Apparently reality is awarding an idiot right now. However, this doesn't make it a cunning plan.

The main point here is that an effort to combat an idiot with sleazy advisors and good instincts looks quite different to the effort that you'd go to if you were trying to counter a secret mastermind who is just playing dumb. I'm amazed at the number of Random Know-it-all Lefty Bros out there who seem to think that overestimating Trump's intelligence and painting everything as a sophisticated plot marks them as somehow more sophisticated and right-on. I suspect you are one of them, with your raving about how I'm "easily duped" by Trump's typo. Jeez.
I suspect the same when I buy goods from China on Ebay: The money is going to an ex-China Paypal account.

Deploying a Consul Cluster Using Terraform and Puppet
I've negotiated with multiple founders and gotten several good offers, including $150k+ salary and single digit equity. The important part is not to fall in love with a company before an offer—a significant number of founders think engineers should work for under-market, and it's not worth talking with them.
I'm sorry. I mean that Facebook could provide more lifestyle benefits and corporate culture in which an employee would not be compromising their career or need to career optimize around family planning opportunities. Maybe this is too utopian to expect.

> they actually have to buy their options

Yup. It honestly astounds me how many people don't factor this into their decision-making. Your only equity compensation on joining is the delta between your strike price and the current market value of your stock. This is often very little, far less than you give up in salary at many companies.
And he is a publisher of content too, with ads, and you didn't notice what he does differently? All text, simple links, and usually a nice blurb describing the company/product. I have read 2000% more of those than I have ever cared about any pushy, animated, noisy ad on any other site. His system works, without being obnoxious.
"A function" isn't an answer though. Elaborating on weights of said function is. One that would allow the questioner to determine "reasonable". Your answer does not allow for that determination other than by guessing in the dark.
Author payment could be handled directly by the state, from taxes, that is, if they can manage to find a way to divide it fairly. People would be free to access any content without further pay.
Early employees (<25) can often negotiate them as well. I've done 83(b) at every startup I joined.
More power to you man 30 bucks or something... is that per year too when you renew it? I'm cheap, $4-5/mo VPS runs my sites at this time (also means hardly any traffic/no ROI but whatever). So a $30/yr domain though it is a one time expense per year.

Kind of interested with those odd domains like .us was $3.00 before, but I think that's a promotional first time buyer thing.

Maybe the VPS argument doesn't make sense, almost $60/yr I think it was $40 something that bulk-buy discount sort of thing.

Minor correction.

Science is anything that follows the scientific method.

One important step of the scientific method is "make testable predictions." Another step is "refine, alter, expand, or reject" hypotheses. Science rests on the possibility of falsifiability. If it can be tested, and found false, it is science. If there is no way to falsify it, it is not science.

For instance, evolution is falsifiable. We can expect that if we put certain organisms with rapid life cycles in a harsher environment, over a certain number of generations the population in the harsher environment will evolve to better suit that environment. If, say, 10,000 generations pass and the organisms in that environment are no better suited to it than a control population, we might conclude evolution has been falsified. Fortunately, we've done lots of tests like this, and evolution does indeed occur.

So I may better understand how this is science, can you tell me how the theory of manmade global warming can be disproved?

Presumably you meant "Hot grits"? Those and other things, like Natalie Portman, really take me back.
That's flat out untrue. The first set of targets from the Paris accords will probably be met without any action by Trump simply due to the fact that we are switching from Coal to Natural Gas and Wind/Solar power. The next set of targets would require either alot more Solar, or a commitment to replacing the rest of the coal plants with Nuclear. None of these are either a huge technological leap or a major reduction in our standard of living.
Why? I'm here and in other places with views counter to mine. There are a lot of tech for Trump folks that just keep their heads down at their jobs because they don't want the drama.
I love endurance; riding and running. But even an hour swimmingly bores me to death, can't imagine doing those 10km+ swims. Hot oil through a tube... TIL and ewww.
Iridium in nature has two stable isotopes and is not radioactive. The longest half-life of the radioactive isotopes of Iridium is 241 years and quickly disappears over geologic timescales. Potassium is what will make stone counters radioactive as Potassium 40 has a half-life of 1.25 billion years and will release beta particles but not radon. Radon is a radioactive gas created in the decay chains of Uranium and Thorium. Stone used for counter tops will have some Uranium and Thorium, but usually at very low levels.
Well this led me to look into Lev Landau, who coined the phrase, and turned up a few gems.

As an engineer with greater dreams, I bought the English translation of his books off Amazon based on recommendations, then promptly gave up my pursuit of theoretical physics.

Curious if anyone else has tried to self study the Landau series. (If so, please say you were as unsuccessful as I was.)
Thanks, that at least gives some area for me to guess within. Noting ".15 – the percent of shares that employees excluding executives typically own"

So I would take it we should ask north of this number. Being that we're small, don't have great salaries, and have been working for the company "because we believe in it" before getting any real promise of compensation.
Well okay but Jruby/Truffle is a JVM language. I just want an interpreter + code, or a binary to drop anywhere. Mruby is fast but you have to build modules into it at compile time. It would be nice if it had something like LuaRocks. Anyway, Ruby is doing fine, there is much innovation going on.
Series A and B are easier (cheaper) to acquire.
It depends on the company. Some companies are quite liberal with transfers. If you have a bona fide offer, they'll amend the cap table. For others, my having a relationship with the founder or Board is critical. A good starting point for American companies is is their Certificate of Incorporation. If you exercised options, the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement should also contain terms, e.g. the company's transfer policy or right of first refusal.

I have never heard of a Canadian company looking to raise capital structuring itself under Canadian law. Commonly, you'd have a Canadian law subsidiary wholly owned by a Delaware corporation.

Interesting points. Keep in mind though, this article is from 1978. Technology and law regulation for reducing dangerous concentrations of gases from flue gases at coal power plants improved since then. I don't know for nuclear. I recently was leading electrical works for new DeNOx (SCR) plant at one coal power plant. Since my country entered EU, the allowable safety margins improved forcing the power plant owners to either invest in purification plants or shutdown by 1st jan 2018.
"In less than two thousand lines of clean Java code, we’ll build a complete interpreter for Lox..."

2000 lines of Java code? I guess 400 of the lines of are just getFoo() setFoo() getBar() setBar() and so on and so on...

At the beginning i thought "Why is this tutorial written in Java? Yuck!". Then, in a flash of enlightenment i saw this was a perfect choice: The author, bless him, is showing us how to write an interpreter in Java, so after one is finished, one can stop using Java and start using this brand new language.

Jokes aside, i am VERY MUCH looking forward and EXCITED to see that the next chapter is on implementing a bytecode virtual machine. So let's hope the author completes the book soon!!

Then I will finally create my ambitious project for an object oriented COBOL, which will be called "ADD 1 TO COBOL GIVING COBOL" (drum fill please...)

So, another vapid pattern-matching exercise with Trump and (you guessed it) the Nazis.

When it turns out in 4 or 8 years that Trump was just another president, left of JFK on taxes and immigration, generally incompetent but ultimately not particularly special, are any of these darkly-intoning oracles of tyranny going to apologize for the breathless declarations about how he was so obviously a Nazi? Will anyone admit how wrong they were?

Will anyone remember all the crying wolf on the next go-around?

Sigh. It makes me genuinely sad that someone as intelligent as Susskind could be taken in by the moral panic.

Personal anecdote. Last month my japanese friend in his late 30's collapsed from a stroke. He is a freelance (!) Web developer I collaborated with and I didn't know that before the accident but he used to work overnight without any sleep. Given his chain-smoking, drinking hectoliters of coffee and a sedentary lifestyle it's hard to miss the causes but still I wonder if just getting sleep could have prevented it to some degree. Now after 3 weeks of induced coma he's slowly regaining consciousness, though how much he will be able to is still unknown.

Three issues with it:

1. Installation instructions are to use npm. I already have a package manager and don't intend to learn a new one for every language.

2. Javascript/npm based. I refuse to install that monstrosity on my system ever again. I don't know how much memory it uses, but I'm willing to bet it's a lot more than existing IRC programs.

3. What's with the server? Why not standard IRC?
All of the government's attempts to address this excessive overwork just seems lackluster.

> Earlier this year the government introduced 'Premium Fridays', encouraging firms to let their employees out early, at 3pm, on the last Friday each month. They also want Japanese workers to take more holiday.

That's a single digit number of hours every month. It's meaningless if workers are still doing massive amounts of unpaid overtime.

> Earlier this year the government proposed limiting average overtime to 60 hours a month though firms would be allowed to up this to 100 hours during "busy periods" - well into the karoshi red zone.

And suddenly every period is a "busy period".

> Critics say the government is prioritizing business and economic interests at the expense of the welfare of workers.

Not even. I'm sure they could actually be more productive if they weren't literally working their employees to death.

Here's an idea. Make companies pay extra compensation if employees work overtime. I guarantee you companies will be literally pushing their employees out the door at 6 PM then.
