For many years, startups have exploited the opacity of potential outcomes to trick employees into thinking that their equity is worth more than it likely is.

A couple of years ago, I asked AngelList's CTO if I could utilize their data to build something like this; he never got back to me, so I moved on. Really glad to see this project live!

At least this was relatively to the point, whenever I've read something from him in the past it's more like a 72 page treatise on cellular automata followed by the two line grilled cheese sandwich review the title promised.
How should I have sources for the contrary if this is not even a consideration here in Germany? The Spiegel is German, but what has it to do with your statement?

Yes, there are discussions about a more integrated European defense. Which is not only logical considering the European Union but also a good way to save a lot of money by reducing overhead and duplication and as a result giving better capabilities for the same budgets. There is also the justified question, how far the Nato is defended by having troups in Afghanistan. But no where, the Nato itself is questioned (except perhaps by the US president), but certainly not by Germany.
FWIW, a founder with an 83b election will almost certainly be paying the long term capital gains rate on their $5m: 15% federal.

Why is this person being so vehemently downvoted? Anyone who has ever tried browsing the web for more than a couple minutes on a computer without an ad-blocker has run into fake download button ads. As they point out in a later comment, getpaint.net has them: I literally just went on there right now and what do you know: http://i.imgur.com/Ygjyn3H.png . If I go to Sourceforge, another malicious Google ad for "antivirus" software that at best just scams people out of their money then does nothing: http://imgur.com/a/WlcQB .

Once while visiting my family I happened to be at the dinner table with my parents when my mom mumbled something about a message prompting her to update. Just out of curiosity I walked over and saw her about to click on a completely fake Java update message that would have almost certainly installed malware... served by Google.

It's counterproductive to live in denial of this massive problem. The original commenter has posted evidence; if you want to deny this claim, you ought to be prepared to supply some of your own.

> A political fix is a necessary prerequisite to the adoption of any technological fix.

Political "fixes" are by nature temporary in the scheme of things. Regimes come and go, governments rise and fall, etc. They can possibly serve as useful incentives in the short term to drive certain changes, assuming there is sufficient faith in the longer term stability of the political "fix". Such faith has been shaken due to various reasons.

Technology, on the other hand, does not regress so easily IMHO. A technological advance that is sufficiently compelling - say fusion power for the sake of a dramatic illustration, can make previous "dirtier" technologies obsolete, and price them out even in the presence of improperly calculated externalities.
I'm wondering how often people who become addicted - after prescribed use - tell their doctor (Serious question, I don't have any clue as to what the answer is). Mine specifically seems to be smart enough to avoid opiates if possible, however when I had my wisdom teeth removed (few months ago) they prescribed a bottle of Norco - enough for maybe two weeks or more.

I only took them for less then 3 days - even that was longer then needed (not that I knew this, you don't know how painful the results of the surgery are until you stop the painkiller, which could cause incredible pain you are in pain (physically).

Let's say the doctor doesn't have many client complaints, reads journals and memos that promote opiates (this is called advertising, something J&J spent 3x more money on then research), it seems like there should be an independent organization that researches, tests (or validates studies), and validates the results and usage instructions. Oh wait that's the FDA job.

I want to emphasize my criticism of the FDA's current performance of what I believe their job is: to make sure that the drugs sold do what they say they do, don't cause serious side effects unless they are clearly listed, have dosages that do as they are supposed to (without purposely causing addiction).
I don't think this helps with negotiations or anyone wants to negotiate anything with Trump. The US will be sidelines in all future talks.

To Europe and China the US looks like it can't be argued with. For many the US has become a pariah state.
Google's tracking can be a terrible thing and we can still acknowledge that advertisers unrelated to Google do awful shit and always have. Advertising can be unethical even when payments aren't tied to clicks. Click-driven advertising makes it worse but isn't the cause of all problems.

> Also, could a country make it's own crypto currency somehow pegged to it's national currency?

Sure, but what would the point be? It would only be a cryptocurrency in name. No reason to go through the trouble of using a blockchain if you're just trading credit. The selling point of Bitcoin is decentralization, and pegging requires centralization (a counterparty who will transfer national currency to your account upon receiving crypto-coins).
Wow, that's great idea. I bet that worked out great for Venezuela. Let's see how their economy is doing...

Never in my life have I ever found myself digging up my old graphics calculator to just play a video game. KSP is honestly my favourite time-waster ever!
Wolfram reminds me of Richard Feynman, in that sense.

The first time I tried to read "Surely You're Joking" as a kid I had to put it down -- the incessant "ME! ME! ME!" dripping from every page was a little too much.

I've since mellowed down and can read Feynman or Wolfram without any issues. I even enjoy that style now :-)

What you've offered (range of salary, could be near 200k depending on seniority) provides useful information than 'very good' which is what they were referring too.

You can make some pretty fun tilings out of Penrose tiles as well. My wife and I made a ceramic-tile headboard out of the Penrose P2 tiling (an aperiodic tiling) that looks quite lovely - the tiles, being handmade, avoid sterility. Like the patterns in the OP, they have recurring themes, but don't fully repeat.
If workers quit working for abusive employers, then you end up having more job-seekers, which makes it more difficult to find a job. That only becomes irrelevant if you have a parallel increase in entrepreneurship.

One of the reasons why UBI appeals to the HN crowd is because the HN audience leans towards entrepreneurs and wannabe entrepreneurs. But for the economy at large, far more people would rather try to keep their heads down and get home to their families.

Most people are not responsible financial stewards. They don't take their excess income and put it into investments, they take their excess income and put it into improving their standard of living. That means using the extra income generated from a day-job goes to higher rent, car payments, and other liabilities not easily released.

Most middle-income people will end up in the same place - unable to leave their jobs due to the difficulty of finding a new one. Upper-income people will pay more in taxes essentially to end financial insecurity among lower-income people living paycheck-to-paycheck.

In A New Kind of Science, Wolfram made the bold conjecture that the whole universe might be a cellular automaton. So there doesn't necessarily have to be a designer: it could just be part of the fabric of the universe itself, just as he breathtakingly predicted! I mean, he wasn't really thinking of train stations when he wrote that, it's not exactly the validation he would have liked... but I think at this point he'll take what he can get :)

I think this is where Google's AMP succeeds. As much as people don't want to be in Google's walled garden and for them to destroy the open web, they have made visiting websites and reading articles much more pleasant. Their incredible engineering talent has done a great job tackling the problems you mentioned.
Uncanny and amazing
Trump doesn't give a shit what those 22 senators have to say.
YouTube was bought really quickly, well before they had a revenue model. Post dot-com boom, you generally need at least revenue to have a decent chance of success on the public markets, even if you don't have profits.

A better analogy might be Groupon (IPO'd 2011) or GrubHub (IPO'd 2014). Both of those were in similarly indefensible industries - GrubHub even in food delivery - and they both IPO'd basically because having capital gave them a competitive advantage over competitors that didn't, because it let them not-die and continue attracting customers with subsidized prices. Neither was kind to public market investors, but it was absolutely the right choice for founders & early investors who got out (or in some cases, were forced out).

Where?

I currently live in Taiwan. It costs me 3 months savings to buy a plane ticket to visit family. I can afford to do that once or twice a year. That doesn't matter much though, because I only get 8 days of annual leave anyway.

I'm a British citizen by descent (born in Switzerland to parents resident in France). My future children cannot be British. I cannot become Taiwanese without giving up my previous nationality. I would also have to do military service, and learn how to kill foreigners. There is a conflict of interest here, because I am a foreigner.

I have a Masters of Engineering from Lancaster University, UK. I started Ph.D. at KAIST in Korea, but dropped out when they refused to pay my scholarship.

I wanted to move to Canada for the Express Entry programme, but now they got too many applications from the US. They changed the rules, and now they require me to be a senior manager.

I wanted to move to New Zealand for the Skilled Migrant Category visa. They asked for 2 years work experience. During my 2nd year here, they increased that to 3 years. Now they require 75,000 NZD per year salary (4x my current salary). I don't think any company will pay that.

It is extremely difficult, and getting harder, to take a foreign spouse to the UK.

The US "asked me to leave" (one step short of deportation) when my exchange student visa petition was denied, because I didn't have $25,000 cash in the bank. Thankfully the process was so slow that I finished a whole year at UCSB before they kicked me out. I can't go back any more though.

I also don't think I can afford to get married, because it's just too expensive (300,000 NTD would take me one year to save up).

The politics and finance problems means I don't think I can marry my Taiwanese girlfriend. I believe in chastity, so this probably means that I'll die a virgin.

I've decided that rather than ending my own life, and having no voice, I can at least speak on behalf of those who struggle. The older generation are rich (owning cars and houses, having children). Most people I know who are my age are not able to afford such luxuries. Why should I pay for pensions to support these rich old people? Why should I pay for insurance to extend my life, when I'm not even satisfied with the situation I'm in? I expect that there will be a war soon. I refuse to fight in it, but I hope that here in Taiwan, I'll be on the front lines, and it'll be over for me soon.
It's not as simple as a straight comparison of what you bring back from from the grocery store and what's left over from your meal kit box. Grocery stores also have waste from the packaging that food comes in.

I don't really understand why the fact that they drag down the per-capita numbers is a rationale for excluding them. Why is it that the people producing no emissions should not be allowed to raise their standard of living to that of people in the US?

Some lucky landlords are likely trapped.

When the rent went up 6-10 fold, they could refinance and borrow against the new inflated equity to secure more investments. Renting out at a substantially lower value would negatively impact this financing.

It's a better deal for them to sit empty at a potential rent of 35K/mo than it is to lower the rent and have to repay/refinance loans.
I don't really understand the problem with the GIL. Sure, people doing exotic high performance stuff probably hate it, but Python probably isn't their go-to language anyways.

For boring old web development and business processing, the GIL seems to be a very efficient way of utilizing a CPU+caches without resorting to the horrible event-driven programming model of Node. Want twice the throughput? Run twice the processes. I kinda wish Java would bring back the option of green threads, it was a perfect programming model for web development.
Why would I care whether bitcoins are illegal in China? The Bitcoin network will adjust to the reduction in hash rate, and after that it will impact my use of Bitcoin as much as China's great firewall impacts my use of the internet.

China is an oppressive regime. It's standard practice for oppressive regimes to ban what they feel they can't control. If Bitcoin ever becomes really useful, they will be forced to ban it -- if they want to maintain monetary control.
duly noted. Expectations play a major role in happiness. I read a great article from DHH about his life before and after 37signals.
Sometimes extreme repression works, sometimes it doesn't. It depends on the conditions at the time and how the violence is applied. However it is never necessary. Take the USSR for example. During the coup that ousted Gorbachev there were mass public protests in Red Square blocking access to the Kremlin. The Junta ordered tank units under their control to drive straight through the crowds, but the tank commander refused. If he had followed his orders we'd be talking about Red Square in the same terms as Tiananmen Square.

Violent suppression and murder of peaceful protesters is simply not justifiable. Violent protesters, maybe. Riots against people and property, ok. Peaceful protesters, no. When you have an already violent situation sometimes countering the violence with violence is the only option. But instigating violence where there currently is none is IMHO clearly wrong.

In this case, for example: "We had four non-verbal children in the study, two 6-year-olds and two 14-year-olds. The six-year-old and the 14-year-old who received suramin said the first sentences of their lives about one week after the single suramin infusion. This did not happen in any of the children given the placebo." That seems promising and worth further study.
Well look into Ancient Greeks they were already relating beauty and math. Hard to say where it came out first but they started noticing patterns in music and from there to associating art to mathematical proportion was a short step

Some schemes now have delimited continuations [1], and with Dybvig behind the wheel of Chez scheme I wouldn't be surprised if they show up there as well.

It is a superior construct in every way. The performance and memory usage, even for the simplest usage, is way better, and because they are delimited they are easier to reason about.

YES! You are right. This is exactly why I am compelled to try one more time. I see a frontier that is market is not reaching for, they are thinking too small and conventional.
