>shouldering the extra risk of a founder

founders give up ((potential salary + RSU at a megacorp - salary at the startup) multiplied by number of years at the startup) while employees give up ((potential salary + RSU at a megacorp - salary at the startup) multiplied by number of years at the startup). Did you notice any significant difference? I mean there may be difference between megacoprs and numbers of years at the startup, yet does it warrant like 100x and larger (like div by 0) difference in the outcomes?
That's not correct. I moved from a low COL area to SF and despite that the take-home pay (after expenses) is far better in SF. Some people pay out the nose to live in luxury apartments in SOMA; I don't consider that sensible. I rent an entire house with yard and garage for less money.

Working for one of the big public tech companies pays way more than these numbers indicate. For a senior engineer RSUs should be anywhere from 50-150% of base. Base should be at least $180k if not more. Total gross for the year is in the $300-400k range.

If you live a similar lifestyle in SF as you did elsewhere you should be able to build wealth relatively easily. Assuming the economy doesn't completely crash I intend to buy a house here in the next 5 years; whether I pay all $1.5m in cash or have a mortgage depends on how the stock market does.

Your old knowledge is still useful. Why do you need to offer the newest and shiniest, rather than old, tried and true tech?
Yes, demand has overall increased dramatically since 2010. And it's still increasing. Perhaps dramatically. You can characterize that as unstable, if you like. But given that my mean cost basis is well under $1K, it's stable enough for me.
Out of sincere curiosity, what have been their journalistic achievements?

I'm living with a mix of Trump and Clinton supporters.
People seem divided now, as they have been for a while.

Is it possible to create a more united America, where it doesn't feel like Trump and Clinton supporters mostly cannot get along and see eye to eye?

Here's how I see it. I don't know if this is accurate.

Say there's 5 groups:

- Mainstream liberal, ~29%

- Extreme liberal, ~0.1%

- Mainstream conservative, ~34%

- Extreme conservative, ~0.1%

- Unaffiliated, ~36%

It seems to me like the unaffiliated and mainstream right and mainstream left have a lot in common, and collectively oppose much of the extreme right and left on each side. This is probably an oversimplification.

I wish there were more mainstream candidates on both sides. I wonder if the two party system encourages more extreme candidates, though.

Step 1: stop believing that intelligence + facts = your opinion.

To put it another way, someone is not either stupid or under-informed just because they disagree with you.
You are thinking of things only from a utilitarian perspective, not an emotional and psychological perspective.

Driving provides a very real sense of freedom and power to people that they may not find in many other aspects of their life.

Most people will also remember being teenagers and having their parents controlling the keys.

Autonomous cars are like going back to being a teenager except now the government or some corporation owns the keys and tells you what is allowed.

Tech people don't always think about these things but they will have a major impact on how the technology is adopted or not adopted.
Why can't people in Latin America just buy gold or dollars to store value ?
I mean it's a circular argument. To say bitcoin is a store of value, there has to be an apriori reason why it has value. It can't be a store of value because it is. Right ?
That's not a bad investment at all. Not sure if still true but last I heard,some 85% of internet traffic at some point is processed by a juniper device.

> There are so many things that go into contracts that cannot be articulated in 'code' that this all hardly makes sense.

I think this is actually something I've been trying to articulate for a while now anytime smart contracts come up.

Legal contracts only specify the criteria and conditions surrounding a contract. Smart contracts must describe that PLUS all the very specific instructions on how to validate those criteria/conditions which adds a massive amount of complexity into the contract (and more potential for loopholes).
Not really. I have a bitcoin debit card. This essentially puts the money in my wallet into bitcoin. The way bitcoin has been doing over the past year, all it does is make everything reduce in price relative to the time I put the money in the wallet.
But in this case we know that there are cases where a reasonable driver will be forced to do the behavior he is calling unexpected. Thus even though it is unexpected it is something that should be accounted for. If you cannot react in time then you need to adjust your behavior. I'm always amazed at how few people follow the 2 second following distance experts tell me is the minimum humans need for reaction time. (which works out to .2 seconds to realize there is a problem and 1.5 second to get your foot physically moved to the brake)
No, the poster you replied to is correct. If you turn that setting off you will not automatically get this update.
> Interesting that there is a maximum rate.

My research indicates that this is because in unions pay increases are based purely on seniority. Therefore, it is undesirable (from a union's perspective) to tie wages to anything other than seniority.

i'm not that sure. the memory of any application can be observed, which means the process of fingerprinting - whatever it is - can be observed. executing the process enough times with a range of inputs will provide a load of analyzable data, via recording the transformation of bytes.

this is (loosely) why basically all software can be "cracked" and drm methods defeated.

> intersected with those that are capable of defeating the hashing scheme

they don't really have to, much. think of the attackers as software crackers/warez groups, and the perps as visitors to pirate bay. you don't need to know how to break drm to download cracked software, or use nefarious push-button software. there might even be (possibly illicit) business opportunities here.
Not many employers are OK with someone taking Friday off

But for some reason rush hour starts just after noon on Fridays (at least in the bay area). So many employers seem to have some flexibility.
The enterprise solutions already exist, and you're competing with suites of products from the likes of Jeppesen(Boeing) and GE for a few hundred customers with substantial lockin to their existing systems and a lot of individual requirements. It's not really a friendly market for new entrants unless someone happens to give you a big fat consulting contract to write software with the rights to sell it to others.
I think this explains the feature of having entry-ways exposed to outside air-pressure; if anyone tries to suck in, they just fill the common area and their own building with heat.
Based on the number of comments from people that live in these town I do not believe this is simply more frequent braking. It sounds like it happen a lot and unnecessarily, which adds risk and frustration to humans also using the road.
Apple is also sometimes called "the world’s biggest startup," and Tesla is borrowing from the same playbook…

A lot of 18XX games seem to have strong play-by-post communities too, which are interesting from a pure play-by-email perspective because they have already encoded a command vocabulary which could be implemented instead of needing to design from scratch.

Well there are many different kinds of numbers, but it’s not a an integer or a natural number or a real number or a rational number.

Ryanair's problem is also that many pilots are leaving for companies with a better salary

Good point, I was only considering the case where FB uses this technique to verify an existing user's identity using facial recognition (which seems like a "logical" use case).

That's all backwards. The little guys are supposed to need the protection. The big guys are said to be smart enough to know what they're doing and not need protection.

"American Airlines' pilot scheduling system..."

Sounds like they have the high tech, but it has a bug. They could fix the bug, and suck up the expense of paying extra $$$ to pilots who give up their holidays.

Or they could opt for a "move fast 'n' break things" startup that is 12 months away from a "sorry we're closing" page.
There is a huge difference between high performing senior engineers, and high performing junior engineers.

But lots and lots of senior engineers aren’t high performing. They’re still moderately more valuable than junior engineers, but not immensely so.

People calling themselves “senior engineer” are usually referring to years of experience, not to whether their management chain consisently sees them as high performing.
Just curious, technically what stops AA from simply cancelling the approved holidays? I'm not saying they should, just want to know can AA or any employer for that matter cancel a granted time off? Are there any legal implications for that?

It'll never happen. Modern planes are mostly self-flying, but you must have a human expert able to intervene if something goes wrong.

https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/children-of-the-magen...

Actually, let me correct that. We already have self-flying planes. They're called drones! We don't use them to transport anything as valuable as humans though.
We live in similar parts of the country and may have crossed paths at that Fortune 50 some years ago.

There's a lot of security in your situation. Barely 6 figures, but unless you live in downtown Portsmouth or on Rye Beach, I bet you've made a nice dent in that mortgage. I know we have up here on the Maine coast, and I'm paying a 7% income tax that you aren't :) Plus, you're probably closer to being able to retire at a reasonable age than most!

That said, I'm strongly leaning toward an offer to move us to the Bay Area. Where I'd say you might think about it are with a few points: First, there's just a ton of opportunity in a relatively small radius, and salary aside for just a second, that does mean there's a potential to move around a bit and level up. Second, tied to the first, there's a little less risk if you happen to get caught in layoffs or whatever else. Up here, how many big companies are there? Good chance you and I work for 50% of them. In the Bay Area, if one company gives its staff the finger, there are plenty of other doors. Last is going to be specific to your situation, but if your housing cost doubles and so does your salary (which is very possible in SF with two decades experience), you come out ahead.

At the end of the day, though, if you have enough there comes a point where it's not worth chasing more just to have more. I'm not native to this area, but Northern New England (especially coastal) is an amazing and unique place to live. 10-15 years from now when my kid is grown up, this is where I want to be, even if I ultimately leave for a little while to provide a little more for my family.
He does both. Though most of the stuff that is shitty-ineffective is noise, like saying something that offends people (usually those Trump or his hardcore supporters don't mind too much to offend). But when he does stuff, unlike his tweeting, it's much more organized and goal-oriented. He often behaves like a buffoon, but only in words, when he needs something, he knows how to get it. Of course, one may severely disagree with his goals, but that's another question, as you noted.
I assume for that to happen, we'd have to have mostly self-automated air control operations. Besides the technological improvements (which might be relatively minor), there would likely be the "human" delay, e.g. you can't just fire the vast majority (assuming towers will always have some human help) of air control operators within a few years or even a decade.
Union work rules. Pilot unions have a lot of leverage.
Yes and no.

If you factor in the cost of not taking "the easy way" you'd likely never get past the 100usd phase.

You're point is valid. I'm just suggesting the lens / context isn't as one-sided as you've presented.

Put another way, plenty of startups and VCs would love to have "getting out from under AWS" at the top of their good problems to have list.
AI sounds great!

One of the selling points of a project like this would be access to machine readable game logs that people could use to train bots offline.

The ASU science library has some neat old books. But they're hours away, and I can't check books out without a membership ($100?). I was going to buy a copy of the book I recently previewed from Abebooks.com, but then I thought to check... they're now owned by Amazon.

http://Alibris.com also had what I was looking for, and is hopefully not tainted. I'm okay with paying an extra $2.
LTO is unrelated. Compiling individual units is only one of many build system responsibilities. There's also dependency management, cross-platform support, iterative builds, etc. And it all needs to be fast.

And the merchant pays the fee not you. Am I missing something?

How does this work exactly, I didn't entirely follow by just reading the article. Does Amazon verify the ID with the government directly?

If so, then that basically means the government knows who you are shopping with. That's all sorts of overreach. Unless it's for tax purposes, I don't see why the government needs to know who you choose to buy from. What if someone buys from a controversial source - does the Indian government really need to know what sort of porn companies someone purchases from?

And if it's just an ID, then how does Amazon know that someone hasn't stolen the ID and just provided it for identity fraud? Or do you also have to provide some sort of biometric verifier also? Either case sounds pretty fraught with difficulty.

In Australia, everyone has a Tax File Number. It's not that well known, but retailers who ask for the TFN are breaking the law and will be fined a huge amount of money.
