"...or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."

There's the out. It may (and will) be argued that climate change is an imminent Danger that will not admit of delay. The associativity of the clauses is just ambiguous enough that the last one can be paired with any of the others, not just engaging in war. And, I am confident there are people in California willing to take that argument to the Supreme Court.
I used to climb, but didn't really have a handle on the difficulty of this due to the American grades used, so I looked into it a little more. It's utterly mind-blowing. This article [0] was helpful for anyone more used to UK climbing. This conversion chart is also handy. [1]

To put it into perspective, if you went to a busy indoor climbing gym, there'd maybe be one or two guys climbing at that level. And they'd probably be "working" a route, falling off it repeatedly, resting on the rope and learning the moves.

The idea of climbing at that technical level, for that length of time, with that level of risk just defies belief. I can't wrap my head around it.

"...in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."

Not a lawyer, but California may deem the exiting of the Paris agreement at a Federal level imminent Danger to their citizens.
I always thought it was "Fake User Interface."
In none of these did the moderator ignore repeated attempts of the panelist to speak though.
I understand your reasoning, but (assuming this is true, and the person indeed owns such amount) it is the person's bitcoins to do with them as pleases, no?
i think options do a couple of things:
1) they let employees invest in startups using their time instead of their money, which is handy when you aren't rich and 2) they allow the company to have a legal framework around an IOU: take less salary now, bigger payout later maybe.

thought experiment: knowing everything you know about e.g. stripe right now, would you buy $100k worth of stripe back in ~2012? in 2012 it was a risky proposition to do so, but many people at the time understood why stripe was likely to be big and successful and invested money in it. i'd rather live in the world where there is a mechanism to invest in such a company besides being an accredited investor with access.

many people go wrong when thinking about options in that they don't try to consider the fundamentals of the investment. working at an early-stage startup isn't just a job, it is a way to do risky investments using your time.

all that said, what Dan proposes at the beginning makes a lot of sense: the startup should be willing to give you cash instead of options (provided they have the cash).
Of course I don't. Still it's sad to see that you are OK with sexist behaviour.
Since matter-antimatter annihilation produces radiation, what prevents us from estimating the size of the effect by measuring the background radiation of the universe and comparing it to the amount of observable matter?

> Spotting a 1km moon in orbit around Jupiter is the equivalent of spotting a Rabies virus at the other end of a football field. (1km at 588 million km ~= 185nm at 109m)

While a relevant size comparison, this is potentially misleading characterization of our ability to detect these types of satellites. 1 km at 588 million km works out to an angular size of ~6e-6 radians, or 3e-4 arcseconds. The resolution of the telescopes that took the discovery data are typically* 0.3-1 arcseconds (depending on the atmospheric conditions at the site). So the telescope is not even close to being able to directly measure the physical scale of the moon in question. Best case, it's off by ~3 orders of magnitude. (Note of course there are variations in the apparent angular size due to the orbits of Earth and the Moon, but even at the closest the moon is too small to be directly resolved by current ground-based telescopes).

The reason we are able to detect these moons is a combination the albedo of the moon (its reflectiveness) and the still somewhat bright sunlight at the distance of Jupiter. So the main requirement here is that the telescope can see faint objects.

* - Note that near-infrared telescopes on the ground can achieve higher resolution with corrective "adaptive optics", but that is limited to follow-up observations of objects, not initial survey work.

Maybe? Still more than just symbolic, though. An agreement was actually signed by the governor of California with a foreign power. He didn't just do it as a symbol -- it was actually an agreement to adjust trade, and who knows what else behind closed doors.
You mean like ARM? Microsoft builds Windows for ARM these days, full fledged Windows this time unlike Windows RT. Photoshop has been demo'ed on a Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU running Windows 10 and devices are expected to be released later this year.

And maybe the end game for Apple's A series of CPU's is to get them at least into Macbook and Macbook Air if not Macbook Pro, to begin with. They'd get a whole other kind of control over that supply chain and not having to stall releases based on Intel schedules. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a version of macOS already compiling.
Yeah, but California is almost like a separate nation. Time to act like it now.
This was my first practical answer to it. Buy the printer with cash, from a garage sale not too close to your house. Only ever use it on an airgapped computer, just to be paranoid.
Perhaps? The clause seems very specific toward war, however. One of those cases where I kinda wish English had math parens. :-p

I started off once thinking "yay, X% means I get X% of the company!" and then I found out the shares can be diluted. Then I learned "non-dillutable".

Then I learned about vesting periods, windows for exercising options, and a whole slew of financial terms and devices; each one seemed to come with its own unique "gotcha" that, if you didn't know about, would cost you nearly everything.

Everyone I talk to about these always says "well, don't do that one thing, or if you do that one thing be sure you do it in this way and you're set". The cumulative knowledge you need becomes pretty high pretty quickly though, and the chances of me doing the right legal and financial incantation at the right moment becomes lower.

Nowadays I go with cash. I don't get 'golden handcuffs' that hold me to a job I don't like because it might pay off later. I can calculate the expected value and risks with cash without tons of research. I know my legal recourses if I get screwed out of cash.

Are you referring to Hartz's statement? If so the statement refers to the measured effect in the experiment not the consequence of CP symmetry violation on the makeup of the universe.

He means that if the CP phase angle is far enough away from zero or pi (his "luck") so that it will modify the amount of electron neutrino appearance beyond what is expected given the theta13 measurement from Daya Bay strongly enough that this deviation will be statistically significant.

His claim is that, with this luck, even by 2026 the significance of the deviation will be only 3 sigma. This is level is conventionally not enough to claim discovery of non-zero CP phase. Around that same time, DUNE will have begun operations. That experiment is expected to reach the 5 sigma discovery level.

knowing everything you know about e.g. stripe right now, would you buy $100k worth of stripe back in ~2012?

sure but for every stripe there are 10 startups that either failed or didn't amount to a great payout.

I think the point this post is making that the value of options is statistically not greater than higher salary at a competitor, given the risk an employee takes since he can't diversify his time.

that said if you believe in an idea it is absolutely great to have the option to "go long" on that idea with your time

Could you possibly copy the comment here? I tried to find it in Facebook's "awesome" comment paging system, but I don't know how far through the 9000 comments I have to scroll back. (I assume the URL you posted is supposed to jump me to it, but it doesn't work for non-facebook users like me.)

“I applaud your heroism in standing up for what you believe in!” she wrote. “I know well the shaky feeling and subsequent exhilarated contentment in the knowledge of having done the right thing, and I think that doing so has become more crucial than ever. Your behavior was inspiring, and I’m glad that many of those inspired shared their gratitude with you.”

Hubeny also offered advice to help women deal with sexism at work, no matter their field.

“If you allow yourself to enjoy the beautiful things that really matter, if you don’t let social or peer pressure dissuade you from pursuing a field which appeals to you, then no pettiness or childishness or boorishness that you encounter can harm you so much,” she wrote.

There's nothing to point 4. It assumes that only places with launch programs want to launch satellites (wrong) and that companies in those places will stick with the local alternatives (also wrong). As counterexamples:

1. SES-8, SES-9 and SES-10 were both for SES, which is a Luxembourgish company

2. Inmarsat-5 F4; Inmarsat is British

3. JCSAT-14 and JCSAT-16 are operated by SKY Perfect JSAT Group, which is Japanese

4. Eutelsat 115W and Eutelsat 117W B; Eutelsat is French

5. Thaicom 6 and Thaicom 8; Thaicom is (unsurprisingly) Thai

6. TürkmenÄlem 52E is Turkmen

7. AsiaSat 6 and AsiaSat 8; AsiaSat is based in Hong Kong

8. RazakSAT is operated by the Malaysian government

9. The most recent mission to the ISS (CRS-11) carried a Chinese experiment as part of its payload.

Also, BulgariaSat is set to launch on the 17th, and FORMOSASAT (Taiwanese) is upcoming, though no date has been set yet.
I'd really be interested to see an evaluation of what makes the difference there.

The original CNN article here:

* http://edition.cnn.com/2017/06/06/politics/russian-hackers-p...

So it is someone saying that an FBI investigation has revealed something:

>Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman al-Thani told CNN the FBI has confirmed the hack and the planting of fake news.

Other than that it is all unnamed "government sources".
>there must be no sexism here because it happens to everyone, and that the person in the audience who described her and the audiences reaction is simply imagining the asymmetry.

The talking-over happened to everyone, and there is no evidence that the specific talking-over of the female panelist was for reasons any different from the talking-overs of the male panelists. Therefore the talking-over is not itself evidence of sexism. In addition there are no other behaviors that indicate sexism specifically over the course of the video. So it is baffling how anyone can conclude that the talking-over of the female panelist was sexist, unless we are imagining things.

The video is right there -- we don't need to rely on someone's written account, unreliable narrator and all that -- and I've given examples of similarly dominating moderator behavior in another comment.
The convention in this particular kindergarten is that for each meal there is one lunchbox. Meals are usually at 8-9 (optional meal), 11:30 and 14:30. My kids kids usually don't have the first lunchbox since they have just eaten breakfast a half hour to one hour before arriving at the kindergarten at around 8-8:30 and are therefore not hungry, but some kids in the kindergarten is there from around 7-8 to 16-17: and thus packs three lunch boxes. Some actually arrive at 6 in the morning and thus eat 2-3 lunch boxes and a breakfast first thing when they arrive.
Yeah, I see it. I also see the dangers associated with it. Without a singular source of international relations, foreign powers can fracture the union in very bad ways. Though I suppose we're all pretty much divided at this point anyway, so there's not much point in being concerned anymore, is there?
I see we are reaching new heights of sophistry in our disregard for the Constitution. It's clearly not an response to an "imminent Danger that will not admit of delay" if the agreement in question takes no urgent and effective action. Or if the danger in question is something on the scale of decades away, where action starting today is just about as effective (or ineffective) as action starting a year or two years from now.
Probably not today, with all the new features, but maybe earlier, e.g. when color inkjets became mainstream and for small denomination bills (no one checks watermarks when accepting old $1 bills).

That said, I suspect this mis-feature is being forced on manufacturers now ostensibly for anti-counterfeiting, but in reality to enable tracking for other 3-letter agencies :(
Having watched other parts of the video, I would say this was sexism.

While the moderator had a bad habit of talking too much and answering his own questions to all panelists, he didn't talk over the other (male) panelists, he only seemed to do that to Veronika Hubeny.
I'm not ok with sexist behavior, which is why I think "mansplaining" is such a useful term.

Paying with options is equivalent to the start up selling stock to investors, paying employee with cash, and then having employee invest the money back into the company. As the article points out.

But there are differences. Avoiding income tax. Deferral of compensation to drive retention. Giving employees a better deal than the investors. Letting employees invest into an asset class the government normally prohibits them from investing into. Those are some of the big ones.

yep. it's probably more like 100:1 don't go work at the other 99! :)

i agree that the value of options is statistically not greater than the compensation package at GOOGBOOK. that said, you don't get to live 1000 lives in parallel. so, either you have to think very carefully about this one (or ~5) investments you are going to make OR you can go work at a bigger company with higher salary if that isn't for you.

- that woman is just looking for a social justice moment (how about the rest of the audience?)

Third-party scripts aren't just a performance problem---consider privacy/trackers as well. I gave a talk at LibrePlanet 2017, where one of the things I showed is the drastic effect disabling JavaScript has on third-party scripts, graphed by Lightbeam:

There's a bunch of stuff before that slide that's mitigated by JS, including things like ultrasound cross-device tracking and hardware fingerprinting.
Charlie Rose has been an absolutely abysmal interviewer his whole career, which is a tragedy considering how good they are at booking great guests. He asks long leading questions, proceeds to answer them himself, and then tacks on an “isn’t that right?” at the end. When the guest inevitably says “that’s not how I think of it, Charlie, let me explain ...”, he then interrupts and repeats his original claim again. Ugh, drives me crazy.

He also kisses up like mad to a few people (Tom Friedman? Yuck.) while stomping all over experts he doesn’t agree with, often because he doesn’t understand their point.

My favorite was when at some point maybe 15 years ago he was interviewing I think Bill Joy, and asked one of his long multi-sentence leading questions. To which the response was ... pause ... “well, duh.”

Given what you know about Bitcoin now, would you buy $100k worth of bitcoin in 2010? Of course you would.

Except...I didn't tell you that your investment would be held by Mt. Gox. You lost your investment.

There is always risk. Always. 97% of startups fail. They are extremely high risk. The earlier you buy in, the higher the potential payout, but the more likely you are to be backing one that will fail. Even the successful ones, after dilution, may or may not be worth more than the cash over how long it took to IPO/be bought out.

You say you get to make risky investments with time; yes...but that's even worse than money. Money is fungible. Time isn't. You have a set amount in life.

Having a 97% chance you're wasting it (actually, higher, since dilution + etc means even a 'success' may mean you made less than the equivalent cash over how long you worked at the place, the extra hours you put in compared to working on side projects, etc) are some pretty long odds.
I can show you how to invest in people and ideas if you are interested.
