You mention that you replaced Reddit with some similar things like HN. If you don't mind me asking, what are they? I've failed to find content with the quality of discussion that can be found here.
> but if you are with someone before getting rich, that is one of the few things you can never have again

Well said and you know that this person is with you because of you (and not because of money).
How is it not still a contingency plan possibly? I agree there could be other reasons, but from the full story that's not what I would expect here. It sounds like a risk to the business that he/others want to remove. An appropriate agreement can be crafted for that.

All of this really depends on the specifics of the agreement.

> When you're operating on lists as trees, the names first and rest are actively misleading. The car and cdr are the left and right subtrees, not the first and rest of something.

If by trees you mean 2-ary trees, sure. For any other n, #'first and #'rest are probably the correct generalisation.
It hides in the funniest of places =) Thanks
When you're married, it's a partnership. You don't exist independently of other and go on more regular dates, you live together and are practically and emotionally committed to each other. For all we know he was only able to write those apps because of the emotional and/or financial security she brought to the relationship.
She’s entitled to half because that’s the contract they entered into when they got married.
3dhubs is a market place. you choose from local printers, and if u go bottom of the barrel on price (as i do) it usually means u just wait longer for shipping. i printed x5 nodemcu cases and x5 raspi cases for ~$30 total, arrived a week later. pickup is also possible instead of delivery.
> I don't understand why she would be entitled to half given that she did not contribute half

Under California law, all assets acquired after marriage are considered "community property". This means that regardless of who "actually" earned the assets, they are owned by each spouse equally (50/50).

Not all states have this regime, and there are good arguments both for and against the concept. I believe that the strongest argument in favor is that community property prevents power imbalances from developing within a marriage. It is sadly common for a spouse to be trapped in an abusive or unhappy marriage, but who cannot practically escape the relationship because they do not have independent means of support. Community property provides a guarantee of financial support should a marriage dissolve.
> If that was the only reason, that would be the first thing out of my mouth. I'd absolutely make sure she knew it was a business formality done to reassure investors. But she said that he has never mentioned anything along those lines. Sadly, I think people are being way too optimistic about his reasons.

Not every person is a great diplomat.
If it's a large company I imagine there are many positions open. With enough clout - why not become an executive, or even take a step lower, in another area of the business? Hopefully the company values your leadership and managerial skills (and less so your tech knowledge, since you're high up) and will give you a chance for something new. Having something new will give you a drive to learn and enjoy your new position.

Others in your company may be able to provide feedback on the possibility of doing this...Even talking to them may open doors for the new position. Just make sure it's not a worse position that will give more burnout!
>"Why are things worth what they're worth?" is the same order of complexity as "Why do things fall?" Your layman's dismissal of value is something like a medieval peasant dismissing the question of why an apple falls from a tree as an idiot's question.

I don't think anything you just said is relevant to what I said here. All that I said is that there is a notion of value which is not simply "what the market will bear". Value means different things to different people at different times. As you said; it's complex.

There are items with inherent value, like gold. It's value is inherent because of how we use it (electronics, jewelry), but that doesn't change the fact that there is real value in gold. That's not the same as someone wanting to make a fashion statement, and I think your electron comparison is so simplistic and absurd as to not be useful in any way. Yes, everything in the universe is comprised of the fundamental building blocks of matter. Great insight here, how about we discuss this in a practical way?
> take a couple months off

Yep, as with many people, usually the role is still a good fit, you just need a break from it. That time will help you figure out your next steps, which likely is some variation of what you're already doing, but with a clean slate that a new position provides.

A few years ago there was some Aldi anniversary, with accompanying editorial articles in the newspaper and stuff.

What surprised me was how many poor people expressed their gratitude to Aldi in the comment sections, saying that few companies did so much to enable them to life a dignified live by offering cheap but decent quality groceries.
I wish they'd rethink the WEIRD initialism. Much of the growth in meat demand from the US, AU, AR, BR, etc., is for satisfying demand from growing and maturing economies like China, SEAsia, Russia, etc.

Sure, the "west" got there first, but almost every country exhibiting economic vigor has seen an increased demand on animal protein.
Does google (assuming Spanner) really use Paxos across WAN?

My understanding is, it does Two-Phase-Commit (across WAN) over fault-tolerant objects (located in a Paxos Group). Paxos Group could span across Data-Centers, but there it just uses normal Multi-Paxos -- perhaps with some extra leader election tricks.
UPX is not affected. It sets the appropriate permissions on its pages.

This is the difference between legit and non legit. A legit software can set the permissions. A remote RCE exploit may be able to insert a payload in memory but it won't be able to change permissions.
It works great on the devices I’ve tested on. Which is like 4 out of the 15,000 possible OS+Device+Carrier combinations.

Show HN: An idea on how to actually reform the tax code based on simple math
Why does anyone need you? There's VC funded password-less auth solutions like Trusona & LaunchKey. They're free if you use their app for auth.
Yes, that's the whole point. The tone of my post is slightly sarcastic, perhaps this is confusing.
Url changed from http://www.howardism.org/Technical/Clojure/origin-of-car-and..., which points to this, which is far more informative.

The link in that previous article is a little weird, since the text says "lost in the mists of time". That of course isn't true; if you read through to Steve Russell's explanation the mists clear up quickly.
Although I will say that this would handle a "follow the sun" workload pretty well.
It's still an early idea but shows promise if we can achieve a similar result to the current (and new) tax code but do so via a simple algorithm. We still need to model the deductions into the revenue models but I'd like to more opinions on the fundamentals.

I'll give you a couple here. You're right that Apple Maps is still streets behind Google Maps. Apple Mail should be better than it is, but Apple seems to be only interested in providing a bare-bones mail experience and leaving the fancy stuff to third-parties. And I just can get my brain around Apple Music, either.

The rest of it is either outdated or wildly inaccurate.

I have to use Android phones for work (one Sony, one LG), but I have an iPhone for personal use. I can tell you from daily use of both, the majority of iPhone software is vastly superior.

And you really need to stop spouting that line about Apple collecting information like Google. Anyone who knows anything about IT privacy knows that's wrong, and it just undermines your credibility.
Shareholders may not have the liquidity to buy out those shares at that time.
It's not that she feels entitled to his wealth, it's that the prenup makes her feel like her husband doesn't trust her 100% to NOT go after his wealth in the case of a divorce.

Notice she said she would never hurt her husband even if the relationship ended. From her perspective, the prenup is not necessary, but she feels like her husband thinks differently and may not trust her completely.
>And for what? Because if things go sideways you might lose half? Half of rich is still rich and it's a small risk to take for the chance at a lifelong loving partner. Some things are worth more than money.

And if they have no plans of leaving then refusing taking half when they go shouldn't be a problem - right?

Perspective matters.
uhhh... the point is kinda that they don't need to be?

a "smart" contract mechanically and programmatically releases further funds or assigns rights or other actions upon completion of a specified input activity. It obviates the need for lawyers and such and serves as a public record of the transaction as well.

well, that's one, albeit reasonable, interpretation of a blockchain-enabled "smart contract".
Germany invested into Thorium in the second half of the last century. Turned out to be a bad investment.
In my mental model, you lose the database to appsec flaws, not to opsec flaws with backups. Both things definitely can happen! I'd suggest though that losing your entire (auth) database to a compromised backup is a "reset all the API keys" moment anyways.

Remember: these services that provide API keys are invariably backed with some kind of login service that uses passwords. Even if you're hashing with scrypt, if you lose the password hashes, everyone's resetting creds.
Half his (vested) shares would go to his wife, in the event of a divorce. As a shareholder, she would have the right to vote on certain matters.

I don't think it makes sense for her to sign a standard post-nup, however, I think it does make sense to account for the fact that the husband wants to make sure he keeps control of his shares in a business he's currently building.
I very much dislike the whole mindset of "we" as this single, uniform society. There are 7.6 billion humans in the world today, we're not all going to agree with everything all the time, and to say that "we" are generally unhappy because of things that "we" deem unsuitable for public discourse is rather arrogant, myopic and naive.

I agree with the author's realization that we probably won't all be able to get along. I think it's a harsh truth that you can either choose to accept or spend a long time trying to fight, and I think much of Silicon Valley falls into the latter. Because of the huge reach and influence of the internet, Silicon Valley (and other areas of large influence) have a bad habit of developing a messiah complex where they see themselves as world ambassadors of peace and justice, striving for an egalitarian world free of 'hatred'. The problem is that the people that get pushed out of this utopia don't just vanish; you end up with people inside the utopia and people outside the utopia. You now have two different groups. So much for the idea of a world of unity and singularity.

>For its part, DHS says that airport face scans are designed to verify the identities of travelers as they leave the country and stop impostors traveling under someone else’s identity."

And yet you already have to show an ID and a boarding pass to a DHS agent as part of security in order to get to the gate in the first place.

If only those clowns could focus on making the absurd bit of theater they currently have even just the slightest bit more efficient.
I know someone who's prenup was invalid because other party claimef didn't understand what she was singing. It's very very unlikely that ur prenup will be thrown if it's deemed unfair.
If she does not sign, the only way out for him is to file a divorce, lose some money to her and start a new business venture. So if she wants to stay married to him, there is no alternative than signing. I would call this a strong incentive for her to sign.

Usually assets earned after marriage are split during a divorce while assets owned before marriage are considered separate property btw.
I'll share what I do when I'm burnt out and some of my logic for why I think it is effective:

I love working towards a goal. I find the journey enjoyable and the achievement gratifying. For that reason, idle time simply isn't interesting to me.

But working towards another non-work related professional goal while I'm burnt out isn't effective. It doesn't allow for proper relaxation or repair even though it is a break from my job. And why is that? Because I'm still predominantly using my mind, which is already tapped out, to work towards that goal.

So instead, during times when I'm at or near burn out, I do things that are physically exhausting. Hike, kayak, run. It feeds my desire to achieve (reach the summit, complete a trip, run 3 miles), but in a fundamentally different way. My brain stops trying to logic its way through the problem and instead focuses on the physical exertion. I use it as a weapon against fatigue when my efficiency is declining. One hard physical exertion can be enough offload weeks worth of mental fatigue.

> Aldi makes absolutely no effort to tempt through sensual delight. It’s a perfect example of spare, unfriendly German efficiency. All the goods are displayed on metal racks in their original cardboard shipping containers—no labor wasted on display; there are maybe two options for each type of product—no shelf space wasted on a tenth variety of cracker that is purchased by that one guy every month; employees can be found, more or less exclusively, at checkout, where they will ring you up but not provide you with bags or, god forbid, bag your groceries for you. Efficiency also applies to production, in that almost all the goods are house brands. Nothing extraneous comes between product and customer—hence the high quality of Aldi goods with incredibly low prices (show me another store with a dark, fragrant extra virgin olive oil for three dollars and change).

So... Costco? It feels like there's a lot of other options as far as places to buy food that the author doesn't seem to know much about.

The reason TA is a bunch of malarkey is because if somebody could simply look at a chart to predict future price movements than everybody else would do it to, making such prediction worthless. Same is true of anything else that is public knowledge. Once everybody has that knowledge, you lose the ability to profit off it.

It is one of the core foundations that underpin up modern finance (something that Bitcoin advocates would be keen to learn about...) - see also [Efficient Market Hypothesis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficient-market_hypothesis), [Modigliani and Miller Capital Structure Theory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modigliani%E2%80%93Miller_theo...), or the [Modern Portfolio Theory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_portfolio_theory).

In short, TA has refuted time and time again. It's complete garbage used only by amatures.

He made a financial agreement with his wife to share 50-50. That's what a marriage is, it's a legally binding contract. If he wanted a pre-nup, he should have gotten one before entering into that contract, i.e. the marriage.

But he didn't.

And he wants to alter the terms of the deal now, as a post-nup? After years of partnership? Oh hell no.

If I were his wife, I would seriously consider leaving him over this. Walk, with "his" assets that were always his-and-hers.
The Truth About Blockchain: From “Single-Use” to Transformative Applications
During my free time I did a good amount of contract work with small companies. They loved what they did and it was energizing. But what they love working on isn’t what I love working on which is in essence: “artistic, evocative experiences”. Yes I’ve invested in a closet full of turtle neck sweaters while I continue my search for my “magnum opus”.
So I'm not trying to scam anyone, but is there a way for a business arrangement to be made that doesn't incur this risk? I know you can put together a buy/sell agreement and have successorship/rights of first refusal documents, but is there a legal way a married person can protect assets from their partner if they wanted to, without going into complicated trusts and shit?
> It's not that she feels entitled to his wealth, it's that the prenup makes her feel like her husband doesn't trust her 100% to NOT go after his wealth in the case of a divorce.

Even the legal possibility of her doing this is a strong liability for the business. So her not signing means sabotaging his business venture, which only leaves him divorce as option to save his business.

I feel the better question, and I don't know the answer, is does this kind of thing stop people taking up lisp. Honestly I think it does, for so many languages, the first view, the first 15 minutes of reading, and the first 10 hours are super important, that is when you lose many possible users. It is certainly the points where I often drop languages.

While lisp is old, it's never picked up many users. This is the kind of little thing which makes me not want to teach it (not just this, but just lots of little ways it seems stuck in history).

Every time we hit a new phase in life, our fears come out.

My guess is that this guy might be feeling insecure knowing that his wife could divorce him.

He's clearly pursued a life that is about making money and intends to keep doing so, so there is a good chance he equates having money (or both to being lovable / worthy of Love on some deep level.

He may be trying to arrive at feeling secure in his romantic relationship the only way he knows how -- via a business deal.

He's missing an incredible opportunity to be vulnerable with her and discover his true worth, inside.

I'm not sure, but I think a forced sale requirement would be problematic in the US since it would impose a unilateral obligation on the survivor/divorcee that had not been bargained for by them.

I question the probity of such arrangements as well as special voting or non-voting stock. This is exactly the sort of thing that leads people to conclude that capitalism is rigged.
I find that author tried to make some point but it is completely lost on me. My Aldi experience or American Supermarket experience differ from what he describes. Aldi has quality items and you are supposed to do the work of pick them up and package them. Prices are lower then other places.

Checkout is example of efficiency, I know their checkout people are paid much better then other places and it is clear why, they scan those things like a lightning.
