He has a revenue sharing agreement with the original creator of A Dark Room, which I think is 50%. Self-employment taxes plus regular taxes will be somewhere around 35%. Apple takes 30%. So, ($800k * (100 - 30)%) * 50% * (100 - 35)% is $182k. So not bad, but it's only $60k/yr for three years.
Yeah, some of the comments in the thread allude to that possibility. If it's a matter of protecting business interests though, there are much more tactful ways of bringing that up with one's spouse.
Can someone explain the context here? Is the intended use for this to prevent a cold boot attack, or also provides protection against an active buffer overflow attack or something?

Intel ME can obviously still lookup this key..
I'll ship you 100 tons of refined uranium, and I'll pay you $50 for it. But you've gotta be able to take delivery in the next 20 minutes.
> All energy costs a positive amount of dollars to produce. Thus, in the long run, the price of electricity must be such that generators recoup their fixed costs, recoup their variable costs, and make some profit that makes the whole endeavor worthwhile.

The only type of cost that strictly determines a price floor is the variable cost. Recuperating fixed costs and profits are based on a revenue prediction which may or may not come true, but once the investment is made it rationally operates until prices descend past the variable cost barrier, regardless of whether long term ROI is positive or not.

What I don’t understand is why prices must go negative. A price of zero should be enough to turn off capacity, modulo switching costs (the cost to start or stop a turbine?)
So, is Germany going to pay me for mining BTC/ETH/XMR? :D
Yeesh, it’s right there in the article I linked, innit? Fixed, thanks.
Could someone help explain this to me? I don't understand why the wife shouldn't sign. As far as I can tell from the post, she didn't help create any aspect of the apps that her husband made which made them rich. I don't understand why she would be entitled to half given that she did not contribute half.
How have courts obtained the source code of human eyewitnesses all these years?
Separately, the distribution will never be that narrow in practice. Once the highest rater reaches 7, NPS will start improving. The author even states herself that the input has noise, so the "everyone's a 6" argument is a straw man.
Please don't get involved in ideological flamewars here. This is an ideological flamewar topic because the high ideological bit determines nearly everyone's position about it.

That means the more people get into it, the more it turns into the same ideological flamewar that every other such topic leads to, and that's what we're most trying to avoid here. One can see this, for example, in how your comment begins to slide into personal disrespect and name-calling.
His move makes sense if he plans to quit his wife. He knows she will get half of what he has, so before he makes a move, he tries to see if she would accept to sign a post-nup. What's the risk?

Another explanation is that we have an incomplete/distorted explanation from the wife, and that she may have misunderstood the post-nup. If what he's working on is getting significant funding, during due-diligence the lack of pre-nup may appear as a problem.

Anyway, I'm not making any judgment on any of the parties, human relationships are such intricate machines...
Show HN: CharityBitcoin – Your donation gets doubled by me
Several of the comments mention they know about startups that have been destroyed by a divorce when a party without any knowledge of the company got stock/control. Is this a real thing that has happened? Does anyone have direct experience with it?
If the assumption is that the price will crash, then every dollar made by someone on bitcoin is a dollar lost by someone on bitcoin, since the underlying asset had no intrinsic value at all. Given that there are a lot of people who have more resources than me, and can do better research and better market manipulation, I am pretty sure I have a better chance of being in the group that loses the money.

That doesn't tell you how to judge effects in specific situations. You can infer lots about a population without being able to particularize it at the level required to implement policy. Twin studies are observational. They aren't experimental. Twin studies can never give you a model of how genetics influence intelligence, unless you want to do extremely unethical experiments on twins.

It is akin to the distinction between a non-constructive proof and a constructive proof of a mathematical property of a class of objects. The former lets you work under the assumption that that property holds, but if you want to work algorithmically you need a constructive, computable proof.

Likewise, statistical inference can give you interesting signals to pursue, but it doesn't give you the models required to understand how those signals come about or how to influence them. The idea that they do is at best folly and at worst malice.
You know passports are valid for ten years, right? Facial hair completely not matching the image is very common.
> If they have any significant power storage capacity, maybe they could store power and sell it back to the grid when prices go positive, or maybe turn on their mining rig while prices are negative, if they go negative frequently.

There’s no reason to get so sophisticated: just plug in an electrical heater placed outside, and get paid. A negative price is a perverse incentive — unless we want to get rid of whatever thing is priced in the negative.
OpenBazaar should be mentioned as well. Decentralized marketplace.
People who are fed up with the big city will much more likely prefer mountains or tropical islands or deep lakes, something that most of small-to-medium cities built around an university and a factory just don't have.

Also, in the big city people get used to theatres and museums and events. Smaller cities just don't have the density.

They don't charge you for using a shopping cart, it's a refunded deposit to get people to return their carts to the cart storage areas.
IANAL, but you're describing a buy-sell agreement, which would cover what would happen to business assets in various death / divorce / firing scenarios. Often, you would agree to sell your assets back to the company in the event that you no longer have direct involvement with the company. If the assets pass to her through divorce, the agreement would still bind the shares, so he doesn't technically need a nuptial agreement for this.
ah this is a perfect gateway for noobs like me! thanks for this.

Well ~78% of gold is used for jewelry and only ~19% is used as a store of value:

I don’t live in CA or in the US but I’ve known people who got burned, known investors to actually inquire about prenups during their due diligence and have been told by more than one lawyer that if you live in a country where common law marriage exists to get some sort of a contract signed that would clarify the status of any shared property as well as individual investments before the common law period kicks in (e.g. if you about to be living together for 5 years).
> DHS should not be scanning the faces of Americans as they depart on international flights—but DHS is doing it anyway

Unless I missed something and this article is about Zimbabwe Airport Security, how the heck is this legal AND ongoing in The United States Of America, the land of the rule and the law??

Let me push it one degree further: what stops DHS from using captive bolt pistol on you when you exit, whenever they decide they want to? Don't say "the law forbids killing", law forbids scanning people's faces. I am truly interested what will stop them from using captive bolt pistol on you?
Good answer—it truly depends. All these replies urging you to take a bunch of time off and blow a chunk of change on world travel are making lots of assumptions about your financial and family situation.

Here are some things you can try if you only want to take only a little time off or none at all: Downgrade a little bit in terms of job responsibilities. See if you can work fewer hours or take every other Friday off. Switch industries—if you’re in B2B now maybe go work on consumer tech. Find a non-tech hobby to help you not think about work when you’re not in the office.

You don’t necessarily have to quit and blow your savings.
With minimal research on the topic, the labor situation in these cases isn’t far removed from slavery for these workers, specifically outside the US. Especially look into the situation for the migrant construction workers from Pakistan (which I mentioned in another comment) in the UAE as one example. The work conditions can easily get them killed or permanently injured, they sleep in mud floor huts with no running water, and they can be killed if they try to “escape” without much in legal repercussions if at all (and it does happen!). The only thing stopping it from being the historical definition of slavery is that they signed away their rights to be able to send money back to their families. I don’t know about you, but I don’t feel “signing under duress”, especially that kind of duress, is “doing it of your own free will and accord”.

If one think that’s “better off” as OP stated, then I guess we will have to agree to disagree.
Why even use routing instead of switching (bridging network interfaces)?
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.
Interesting, thanks for the insight!

College students come up with plug-in to combat fake news
Let them keep their ignorance. I've decided to give up educating them for two reasons:

1) It's impossible for them to realize that China is a much better place than what western media depicts. It's even better than most western countries nowadays.

2) It's for China's benefits to keep them in thinking China still what China was 100 years ago.

Don't wake up them, let them live in their dreams.

Chamath Palihapitiya on Money as an Instrument of Change
You're not the first person I've heard of that doesn't like foo,bar,baz nonce variable names. But it's the first I've heard of someone preferring meaningful but irrelevant words over meaningless words.

In any case, I think it makes sense, even if it's not common within programming culture.
Nice. Subtle.
Use a Ubiquiti Nanostation directional antenna. These things are quite powerful and relatively cheap. Have used them before to link two sites ~20m apart.
I guess my point was, by demonstration, that nitpicking little aspects of the articles we link here is without positive value. I'd have been wiser to leave my comment unwritten, but sometimes I can't help myself.
The post talks that the successful venture were two side projects that become successful very unexpectedly. At least the money was not there when they married and neither any of the marriage partners did expect it.
"The poors"? Grocery stores in black and (particularly) latino neighborhoods in Chicago --- ie, the poorest neighborhoods --- are nothing like this description of Aldi, or any Aldi or TJ's I've ever been in. Most have better produce than Whole Foods, a giant meat counter, and minimal, off-brand packaged foods. You cannot buy a $3 bottle of richly floral dark extra virgin olive oil at Del Rancho Market, and the greens are not shrinkwrapped in plastic.

I'm sure the demographics of Aldi customers is sharply lower-income than that of Whole Foods, but I dispute the idea that Aldi gets to play the standard-bearer of the working class.
I don't know what their relationship is like, and I don't know what prompted this, but I can't help but feel like this guy is making a huge mistake.

I understand prenups for rich people because you never know why someone is really with you, but if you are with someone before getting rich, that is one of the few things you can never have again. If the relationship is good I don't know why you suddenly make it all about money and drive a possibly irreparable wedge between you. 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.
Hmm... if you didn't care, why would you be reading the Italian quibble on a history site written in Italian?

I'm not sure you need a prenup for that. You can agree in a shareholders agreement that there is a requirement to offer the shares up for sale (at fair market value) to the other shareholders in the event of the shareholder passing away. Not sure about Delaware law, but this works in most of Europe.

Alternatively there could be a provision of swapping "Shares B" for "Shares A" or similar with different voting or veto rights. I think this is also possible in the US, since something similar was done for Facebook? Mark has special voting rights but his inheritors will not?
Excellent article but I think it is missing one point, and why I think joewee in his comment is more right.

Argument, Explanation, Definition, Description

are not the only types of articles or essays. What's missing from the list is "Story". Story is something that is entertaining to read because it first creates some expectations, perhaps in the wrong direction on purpose like a good detective story. Then resolves the issues preferably in a non-obvious way.

Therefore I believe joewee is right, it is best to structure your article based on a set of questions which should pique the interest of the reader.
Good point about retail rates being very different from wholesale rates.
Non-Traditional Ways to Wake Up Amazon Echo: Black Site

> Both seem better to me, as they have some meaning other than random made up strings (for people who don't use 704).

Calling the lefthand child of a node in a binary tree the "first" and the righthand child the "rest" seems like a markedly worse naming system than random made-up names, to me, because the use of English names seems to be implying meaning that it doesn't really offer.

The idea of a thing with two values, one on the left side and one on the right side is probably a bit more intuitive, but I really doubt it's that much moreso than just saying it has two parts called the car and the cdr. People who've never touched a 704 have been learning about conses as a data structure with two parts, a car and a cdr, for almost 60 years; to most of them, it's just vocabulary you learn now, the same way that numerator and denominator are just arbitrary names to people learning fractions.

I also think it's interesting how much people complain about car and cdr yet it's very rare that people complain about cons, which is just as badly named. It should probably have been called make-pair or something, which I think is a much bigger improvement than car vs lhs. But really, it's 3 words of vocabulary, whose definitions can be completely understood by

(car (cons x y)) = x
(cdr (cons x y)) = y

That's not very much to ask someone to wrap their head around, it was meaningful to the original implementors, and for people now there's about 60 years of precedent for using that terminology.
Something having a positive price means it has value.

Something having a negative price means getting rid of it has value.

A positive price signals that there’s a cost to consume something.

A negative price signals that there’s a cost to not consume something.

Saying no to signing the post-nup is saying "You were right not to trust me".

No it isn't. Trying to bust a pre-nup says that, but refusing to sign a post-nup is saying 'you're going back on the arrangement you made.' I can't believe people are making excuses for this guy. Imagine if his wife had lucked or figured her way into money and asked the husband to write himself out of the financial picture; are you telling me you'd advise him to just forget about his rights?
Cost of gas. Cost of maintenance. Cost of insurance. Cost of replacement car from time to time. Cost of parking, both at home (garage is part of the cost of your house, if you own/mortgage) and at work. Direct time lost to gas pumping, maintenance, replacing a tire, detours taken to reach gas or maintenance places, whatever. Time of actual commute. Find typical values for normal working people for these, find typical commute distances and times, find average hourly wage. Figure out how much of an average person's working day is spent paying for car-related expenses, how much non-driving time goes toward one's car averaged per day, and add those to actual commute time. Compare with time to travel average commute distance by bicycle.

That's without considering the effects of omnipresent automobiles on city layouts and how they force everything to spread out (enormous parking lots much larger than the destination they're for, incredibly wide roads, massive "green spaces" to provide buffers between ugly, noisy, smelly, dangerous highways and areas for humans, big front yards for similar reasons, and so on)

[EDIT] to save you some time, the average spent on car-related stuff in the US per year is about $9,000. Average hourly wage, 26.55 or so. Call it 50 working weeks a year, 5 days a week. Looking at about 1.35 hrs per day paying for car crap, on average. Plus actual commute time and other time lost to cars for various reasons. And I doubt they included cost of garage on house or whatever in those numbers.
"Germany's energy policy is far from perfect, but probably one of the most future-proof in Europe (which costs money)."

Really? Germany has one of the LEAST future proof energy politics. I would like to see a country that actually has more than a 2 years energy plan and would invest in something meaningful, like Thorium reactors.
Funny how Saudi Arabia being head of women's rights doesn't cause a protest vote, or Syria becoming the human rights council head. But the US vote on Jerusalem is condemned?!!

I'm not a Trump supporter, but I'm very much in support of exposing the hypocrisy of the UN.
Because of the liability that no post-nup causes, not signing it is a clear message: "I am sabotaging your business ventures".
I feel you. It's a struggle.

Sherry Walling is a very well-educated and practiced psychologist and she does a great episode about burnout on the ZenFounder podcast. She discusses it both from the hands-on side and the clinical side. It helped me a lot.

https://zenfounder.com/episodes/episode-142-burnout/

The TL;DL from my takeaways are to find time to focus on the challenging and exciting tasks from one's to-do list. Complete that work (I.e., hit publish. Don't let perfectionist tendencies prevent you from finishing). Then reward yourself for doing so.

Also, find social outlets continually and don't allow work to overshadow things like friendships and family.

Those were the ones that hit close to home for me.
>I can have the same functionality for 100 - 200$

Because the $1,000 iPhone and a $100 Android don't have the same functionality.

Because you require a very small, Google-centric toolkit means that a $100 phone is a good fit for you. But there's a few billion other people on the planet, and some of them have different needs, wants, and desires.

But feel free to continue patting yourself on the back in public for your lifestyle choices, if that makes you feel better. Not everyone finds nobility in frugality.
> The only type of cost that strictly determines a price floor is the variable cost. Recuperating fixed costs and profits are based on a revenue prediction which may or may not come true, but once the investment is made it rationally operates until prices descend past the variable cost barrier, regardless of whether long term ROI is positive or not.

Only variable costs will drive the short-term decision of whether to stay on or not. But the price of electricity in relation to fixed costs and profit will factor into the long-term decisions regarding building new plants and decommissioning ones that need refurbishment/upgrades. In the long run, the price of electricity has to be high enough to ensure sufficient capacity to meet demand.

(That's something of a simplification, as I said. In reality, the incentive for building new capacity comes from both the electricity market, and so-called capacity markets: https://business.directenergy.com/understanding-energy/manag...)

> What I don’t understand is why prices must go negative. A price of zero should be enough to turn off capacity, modulo switching costs (the cost to start or stop a turbine?)

It can take a coal plant ~4-8 hours to reach maximum output after even a warm restart.
The NEXUS endorsement is for expedited entry into Canada. But without it, Global Entry still works for expedited re-entry back into the US.

As for Mexico, you just need to register your vehicle on the GOES/TTP portal to use your Global Entry card in the SENTRI lanes. (The vehicle inspection requirement was dropped recently.)
I can't tell if you are serious or not but... Nothing happens in a vacuum. Would he have had the time or opportunity to work on side projects without his wife handling some aspect of their domestic situation, for example? But the bigger picture is that a married couple is a single entity legally speaking as far as property and finances are concerned. Judges in many jurisdictions completely ignore pre-nups for this very reason.
MediaTek Launches 6-in-1 Biosensor for Smartphones
> If you've lost the database, you've lost accountability for all user actions anyways.

Not sure I understand why. Is it because the (hashed) passwords are there too, or did you have an attack against the API keys in mind? Just to be clear, I'm thinking of an unsecured backup scenario, not full blown database compromise.

Regarding signing, that's a good point I hadn't considered, and maybe reason enough not to hash the API keys.
I agree. The argument against car/cdr reminds me of the adage 'in theory theory and practice are the same and in practice they're different'. car and cdr may have begun as a historical accident but they stuck around because they hold up in practice.

As other commenters have pointed out, we could add to your list the classical point that car and cadr are composable, so cadr, cdar, etc. This creates a simple DSL for list manipulation which sometimes is just what's needed.
Probably nothing given that the article states Beijing has an even lower target population cap.

Why on earth would the existence or not of a pre-nup affect funding? The funds go to the business not the individual and wouldn't form part of their finances if there was a divorce. No due-diligence is going to raise the lack of a pre-nuptial agreement as a reason to withhold investment.
