If you are arguing that grants of options shouldn't be taxed -- they are not.

If you are arguing that the eventual income from ISO's shouldn't be taxed -- that would be a very odd position, since pretty much every form of income out there in the world is taxed, even illegal income. I can't think of any other income category that is un-taxed under USA tax laws, with the exception of government bonds.

I agree. Without moralizing on the motives, it seems like the objective of establishing an institution like the Stasi is control. If you can have that control with a velvet glove and spare the resentment so much the better.

s = range(0, 10)

Options are not taxed until you exercise them. At that point they become an asset that contains "value" but until you exercise the option to purchase stock it is simply only the right but not the obligation to purchase stock at a particular price. When issued options you don't have to exercise them and if you don't you do not pay taxes until you decide to.

Often companies offer the ability to "early exercise" options which means you buy them before they have vested and file with the IRS that you have done this. The reason you might do this is because the strike price of your options will likely be the same as "fair market value" of the stock. This means that when you buy them you do not pay any taxes since the difference is 0.

If you wait and exercise your options then you pay tax on the difference between the "fair market value" and your option strike price. This is taxed as a short term capital gain. However, you now hold the equity and if you sell it 1 year or later you pay a long term capital gain which is generally advantageous. This gain is the price you sell minus the value at the time you purchased.

Often, for people issued options they will exercise and sell immediately when/if the company goes public and they can sell. You keep the difference between what you sold them and what your strike is and you pay taxes on that profit.

The biggest issues are when you want to leave a company but have not bought your options. These are golden handcuffs and it's a decision you need to make if you want to buy them. For a company that is looking good you can often get a loan to buy them. But now you're invested in an illiquid investment of which you can't possibly know the real value. That's a big risk with potentially a large payout.
I wouldn't assume that. It's a publicity stunt. Also, pushing around the edges is how constitutional law develops.

I've always been surprised by this (and even more by QR codes in magazine ads and billboards). I'd think that these days, for 90% of applications a regular URL should work. Just as your photo app thee days marks (and often labels) the faces, it could simply highlight all the URLs, email addresses etc in the image and let you click on them.

Yes, QR codes are more robust (at the cost of a small payload for a large image) but I suspect in most cases it's unnecessary.

> I don’t a-priori assume that the incident was rooted in sexism

So who is sexist in this scenario?

Turns out its the feminist in the audience assuming that a woman needs someone to cause a public disturbance because she could not help herself be heard.

Why is it every time some social justice event gains public attention, it turns out to not be sexism/racist/etc. at all.

"It makes Python look like it's not a functional language. It perpetuates the idea that Python won't let you write elegant and stateless programs that behave in a functional manner."

I suggest Go for this use case. It's easy enough to read for this sort of thing even if you don't know the language, easy to link to running examples on the playground, and nobody will accuse you of showing Go off in a worse light than is called for because the Go equivalent of the imperative example shown really is the Go way to do it. Go is just about the most aggressively non-FP language out there today, making even Python look friendly to FP programming, despite the fact it has closures.

Ask HN: How true is it that ninety-something percent of startups fail?
In particular, what counts as a "startup"? i.e. what's the denominator in (# startups that succeed) / (# of startups)?

Given other signals, e.g. if the founders have quit their jobs to work on the idea full-time, how does that ~90% number change? Especially if founders have legitimate credentials such as Stanford CS degree.

From experience, the percentage of serious startups (ie founders working full time) started by Stanford CS/MBAs that succeed is orders of magnitude higher than the number that is typically thrown out. Admittedly, that may just be survivorship bias
That is exactly what a heckling is:

Words That Can Make a Difference
Kiln, Fog Creek's old Git/Mercurial hosting environment, had major components written in F#. Those components honestly were probably the only genuinely bug-free parts of the code base (though I think that had as much to do with developers self-selecting to work on those areas as it did to do with using F# as such).
Sorry, I meant "community-driven as well as MDN". English is not my mother tongue.
To know the truth we would need to look at how the other panel members were treated. If the moderator spoke for them as well, or tried to but was forcefully overridden, then sexism probably doesn't come into play. But if she was the only one, well... I wish I had time to view the proceedings for myself.
iOS does that too – after a while of carrying it around.
Yes. Assume $300k total comp at Facebook/Google/Netflix for a Senior Engineer. Getting $200k at a non unicorn startup is very rare for a Senior Engineer. $180k is more often the cap and $160k is the norm.

And while $300k assumes fairly high performance at a top public company, it's certainly not the upper bound.
This is a very interesting discussion for me, as I'm about to incorporate a new AI startup and I'm thinking how to spend my own seed money.

The author's argument in the "Incentive alignment" section doesn't seem strong. "However, as far as I can tell, paying people in options almost totally decouples job performance and compensation." Is there any data to support this or just this author's feelings? Just because the masseuse from Google made millions, it doesn't mean that other people who did well, like their chief legal officer, business operations, and product management executives, who made $160 million, were not instrumental in its success. It just means that not all options were optimally allocated.
Hubeny doesn't seem like a person who would tell someone to shut up though, and sexism or not, it's basic politeness to give shy people a bit more room. Certainly after announcing that you now finally want to hear their perspective :/ I doubt that moderator can watch that part and say "yeah, that's good moderation".

Just reading the FB post, I was taken aback a little, to be perfectly honest I rolled my eyes at "why is this sexism still happening" because from the description it didn't strike me as necessarily sexist. But now after having seen what a friendly and generous person Hubeny is, and even more importantly what interesting things she had to say, I'm kind of proud that it made Talkington angry and finally speak up. Hubeny may not need "white knighting", but the impetus comes from a good place IMHO.

What of it if it makes the offense about Taffington? I also get mad when someone else mistreats another person in my eyes; if the victim in my eyes isn't a victim in their own comes secondary. That is probably arrogant, or even ironic because it can be disrespectful, but I feel it's usually easier to clear the air after overreacting or misreading a situation, than to muster the courage to stand up for someone after you already got used to not doing it. You have to do it when you see it, maybe after double checking, but you can't linger too long. Certainly not in a situation like that, where mustering the courage takes a lot either way. Hubeny is fine, but for Taffington this was and maybe is nerve wrecking. So kudos where kudos are due :)

Thanks for the context! That post was really missing video.
Deciding When to Call an AB Test: P-value Graphs
Some claims:

"It is the only cloud backup tool that allows multiple computers to back up to the same storage simultaneously without using any locks (thus readily amenable to various cloud storage services)"

"What is novel about lock-free deduplication is the absence of a centralized indexing database for tracking all existing chunks and for determining which chunks are not needed any more. Instead, to check if a chunk has already been uploaded before, one can just perform a file lookup via the file storage API using the file name derived from the hash of the chunk."

It doesn't feel like it fits easily into an economics template to talk about it as a "market failure."

If I turn my head and squint, it looks roughly like "Government oversight / voluntary manufacturer action to minimize cost due to tragedy of the commons"---the technology makes some forms of crime much cheaper, the government worked with manufacturers (probably with some off-the-books arm-twisting) to alter the technology to minimize its efficacy for a subset of those forms of crime.

That's... just wrong. For one thing, everyone deserves a baseline level of respect as per our shared human dignity. Also living in a world where nobody is worth the time of day unless they've gone out of the way to prove themselves respectable just sounds miserable.

You should respect everyone unless they've done something to lose your respect.

The issue at hand is an example for precisely the opposite. Everybody agrees that the moderator's behaviour was inappropriate, the discussion is mostly about how bad it was (what should the consequences be?) and the label (sexism or not?).

More general, regarding subjectivity: Although the individual members of a group or society have different subjective standards, they can still find some common ground on what behaviour they accept or don't accept. You'll find such emerging consent not just in informal rules about social behaviour, but also in formal rules which we call "laws".

Would you be interested instead in a well-defined bonus with a bit lower salary? Let's say after each year of work. I am a believer in incentives but I agree that for employees the options are often not the best way to go.
Yes, they can. The board has discretion over the allocation of the options pool that will have been set aside as part of each round.

However to issue those to yourself would be like eating your seed stock, since that's the pool that you use for issuing options to new hires, and without that you can't give new employees any equity. For that reason I don't think it's likely.
"Acceptable" is not the question. I asked for which sites you'd find JS to be necessary.

To say "every time some social justice event gains public attention, it turns out to not be sexism/racist/etc. at all" seems like a wild overgeneralization. You would probably be more accurate in saying that while "sexism/racism/etc" are often over-attributed as a cause, they are in fact pervasive, but to varying degrees of influence. The first mistake is to assume there's a singular cause of any behavior.

Because they see sexism when its just normal human behaviour.

Why do feminists think its okay to second-guess the male mental and emotional state? As if the same stuff never happens to males.

> you must ignore many possible slights and assume that nobody is purposefully racist

But ask yourself...why do you assume anything is racist in the first place instead of thinking it is just normal human behaviour?

I would argue that modern feminist movements and social justice organisations like black lives matter tell people its because of their race, and train them to view everything through a racial lens. Once you are conditioned to think like this, its hard to not see everything as racism, which is maybe a nicer way to see the world, than to realise the universally humans are just dicks to each other. Instead of the enemy being a specific group, its actually potentially everyone around you.

What is your take on this? I am interested to know if its well off the mark.
