Replying to your pre-edit comment ("Growing up in America my whole life, it would be nuts to move there.'):

I moved to China when I was 35. Before that I had always lived within 10km of where I was born (except for some years at university, which was 100km away). I am not ethnically Chinese. I had one acquaintance in Beijing. Whether or not my decision was 'nuts' is just a matter of perspective/mindset.

"Is it possible to have family living in a country you are not from? Yes.."

I didn't say it wasn't possible. But it's very very very rare for someone who is not Chinese to move to China to be near family. Why? Because 90% of foreigners who live in China don't know whether they'll be here 2 years from now. So it wouldn't make sense for their family members to move to China to be near them (except for a spouse/SO of course).

If we're interested in improving the world -- improving things like human dignity, welfare; and minimizing human suffering -- I think this is one of the most important concepts to understand about human nature.

It's the same concept I try to illustrate by noting the NASA Challenger disaster was not a case of an unknown, but one where groupthink murdered 7 astronauts.[1] The desire people have to conform to authority is extreme.

I can even think of a remarkable personal example from growing up, when a boy in class was given the punishment of having to sit next to an often-bullied girl. The teacher was not above the bullying, he had conformed to it. That must have had a detrimental effect on a young girl's self esteem.

So if we're still murdering, toeturing, and dehumanizing people in order to conform to concepts of authority and hatred, how much have we grown from our past?

Isn't this the same concept that we're supposed to disagree with when it came to the Nazis, North Korea, etc.? That we are free and just society, and we fight to defeat those who aren't?

Just eating less carbs has made me feel a lot better. I'm not too intense about it, but just being mindful of it makes me a lot less tired after meals.
For me, that would be keeping a diary.

I don't have any hard data, but I feel better and seem to have a better grip on life since I started. I'm using a relaxed version of Bullet Journal and I kept at it for much longer than I expected.
> I will surely have enough options in the pool,

At a $6M seed stage valuation, 1% in equity (vesting over four years) is worth the same as $15k in salary.*

Which is harder for a founder to authorize, 1% in equity or $15k in base salary? Honestly $15k salary sounds a whole lot easier and cheaper to me.

$105k in salary converts to 7% in equity. So if you want to hire than $400k Googler you're going to be paying them $200k salary and 14% equity.

An entire option pool is typically 20% or less.

The only reason giving away equity seems so much easier than cash is because you can trick people into taking far less of it.

* Disregarding the fact that the valuation is based on preferred shares while the equity grant is common shares, which only makes the equity grant even more worthless.

> So you know how unrealistic it is to raise VC rounds just to support salaries for a handful of new engineering hires.

That's literally the entire point of raising a VC round?
Here's the true experiment:

In surveys conducted in 2014 and 2015, Richard Griggs and Jared Bartels each found that nearly every introductory psychology textbook on the market included Zimbardo’s narrative of the experiment, most uncritically. Curious about why the field’s appointed gatekeepers, presumably well-informed about the experiment’s dubious history, would choose to include it nonetheless, I reached out. Three told me they had originally omitted the Stanford prison experiment from their first editions because of concerns about its scientific legitimacy. But even psychology professors are not immune to the forces of social influence: two added it back in under pressure from reviewers and teachers, a third because it was so much in the news after Abu Ghraib.
It is believed that van Gogh was color blind[1] and that he saw all his paintings more faded than most people see them.

Same here. I was pretty hardcore for several months and take a more relaxed stance now. It also helped me lose a few kilograms.
It sounds like a lot of the criticism is that employees don't get enough compensation or don't get it quickly enough. With options, the variance is too high, since even companies that raise a lot may fail, and liquidity takes a long time. Plus, if the shares are voting, founders have to give up some control. I guess the variance will always be higher than many employees would prefer (at least not considering schemes that share risk among multiple startups), but how about something like the following for mitigating the concerns people are raising?

The company commits that some percentage of each month's revenue will be immediately set aside for existing employees (to a first approximation, split equally between them). Crucially, any investment should be counted as revenue for this purpose, since early-stage startups often get major investment before major revenue. Ideally the percentage should be something big, like ten.

To encourage employees to stay, the revenue will be paid out to them over a period of years, similarly to how options take time to vest. A detail to be worked out is what to do with any money that isn't paid out because the employee leaves. (Maybe just return it to the company, though that could give companies an incentive to get rid of employees after a major funding.)

The company should be able to revise this commitment but not without a warning period of, say, half the period over which compensation is paid out to employees.

Hmm... the latest episode is about how Trump is "on his way to the historic summit meeting with Kim Jong-un". The next episode will be about the actual meeting then I guess. When will it be released?

I would prefer something as fresh as a newspaper. Something like what they had on radio when I was a child. News in spoken form every hour. I guess that still exists :) But listening to radio is a bit clumsy. Guess I should look for a radio station that publishes their news as mp3?

How so? I'd say 95% of the complication would still exist if you only used the contact points on one side. You would eliminate 3.2 speeds (would anyone notice?), the video+data mode would be slightly different and slightly simpler... and not much else would change.
Congratulations, you do not need this particular advice!

While it is of course possible to raise a lot of children in a tiny space, it is not something you necessarily want to do. Especially if no-one in your environment is doing it.

In my opinion if you intend to make a project commercial it should be on its own domain.

This is then your landing page which should give visitors and idea what your service does and what problems it solves.

As part of the landing page to build credibility you can have an about section. But be careful some people don't want to use a 'one man band' service.
Here's how I've seen it work, and this is specifically relevant to Bay Area compensation (although it prob works the same in other markets, just scaled down). You come into either one of:

- top tech company (i.e. FAANG)

- high growth, public, mid-sized tech company (e.g. top enterprise cloud companies)

Your base salary will be between maybe $130K - $160K. And not just for engineers, technical product/program/project managers make this as well. Your bonus will be 15-20% of your base, so another $20-30K, bringing your total comp minus RSUs to $150-200K. Your first RSU grant will prob be worth $100K per year once you start vesting. If you are a top 20% performer, you will get another grant within the next year or two.

After you've been at the company for three or so years, you will have multiple RSU grants starting to vest. Once you stack these RSU grants on top of each other, your total comp can easily reach $400K for some period of time.

A couple of caveats/risks with this comp structure

- it seems companies are much more willing to throw more RSU's at you than a significant base salary increase.

- as long as the markets are rewarding growth vs profitability, the RSU's will continue to flow

- if the market crashes, the whole comp structure may crumble.

I set a goal of using my feet to walk around and engage team members in 5 work conversations (unscheduled) each day. The change in culture and the identification of problems, road blocks, oppertunities has been eye opening. As a natural introvert who’d rather be heads down it has made me much more effective in the team.

You can use Youtube as a producer, or a consumer (or both). You are right that as a consumer, you are part of a captive audience.

But as a producer, the others might be a good alternative - especially if you are not trying to monetize and/or rely on YouTube recommendation to get discovered. If you're posting family videos for aunt Mildred, and an instructional video linked to your blog post - then there are perfectly fine alternatives to YouTube - of which most people are completely unaware.

I've also got a first last address (although with Outlook* ) and a 4-letter alias attached.

I only use it for stuff I don't want to clog up my vanity domains with but that email account has become a swamp of notifications of signups to random services I've never used, whoever signed up trying to scam those services, and those services contacting the scammer to tell them they aren't allowed to use the service anymore because of their chargeback/non-payment/scummyness. Along with a variety of bouncebacks from email worms (in 2018!!) a whole bunch of more innocent but equally irritating accounts being attached.

I used to try to help out companies this was happening to by giving them a heads-up, resetting & changing the account pwd and suggesting ways of mitigating the issue (hello doordash) but these days I can't be bothered... My next freebie email is going to be a random 64 character alpha numeric string to minimalize those collisions.

Or, I can just answer people's questions about their downvotes to the best of my ability. They're guidelines, in the sense of rules of thumb. There are plenty of times when they just don't make sense. In doing so, you're just taking the chance that a lot of people disagree with your reading of the situation.

> And more generally, it's social interaction, not a compiler.

You've never asked "What did I say wrong?" when someone reacted unexpectedly in a social interaction? No one owes you an explanation, but there are times when it's a reasonable question and shouldn't hurt to ask.
Thanks for this explanation

I started using my planner to also write notes on what I did that day and any thoughts I had. I now feel more like I know myself and my organisational skills have improved.
A former manager of mine at a big US bank ended up with the email address like peter@megabank.com. AFAIK, he is the only person out of 250,000 with a single name email address.

The email policy used to be that people from acquired companies would keep their original email address whereever possible, just switch to the bank's domain.

So in my friend's case, no narcissism, just luck.
USB IDs are idiotic and should 100% be just squatted on.
There is no reason such a stupid design should be enforced by any open source organisation.

If you want to have an identification for a device, standardise capabilities tags and provide some free form fields for perhaps at least manufacturer and description.
Recently I read the book - Eat that Frog by Brian Tracy.

One of point was to keep a pocket diary where you list all the TODO tasks and keep striking them off as they complete. Helped me in many ways:

1. It is very easy to forget many tasks but by writing them and checking the diary even once in a while, it is possible to be reminded regularly.

2. Its better than mobile TODO apps as I don't need to check mobile phone regularly and don't get distracted.

3. When you strike some things off, you see the progress that you are achieving something. Just deleting everything shows you long list of tasks yet to be done and can be demotivating.

I'm pretty sure that wasn't the goal. USB needed a compact, robust port that also supported 3.0 speeds. Nothing else could fill that role, so they made a new port spec.
Quarter German, mostly British, good enough a guess :) Actually, I’m am a bit surprised about the lack of contactless here.

Well yes. But the premise here was that in order to generate that revenue you need the employee. If you don't need the employee then by all means don't hire the employee (and don't raise money to hire them).

There should be an answer in the negative if your search produces no results. This problem is exacerbated by the beta status and lack of articles - it took me almost a minute to figure out if my queries (like "computer" and "a") were producing no hits or if the site was broken.
They're guidelines, in the sense of rules of thumb.

That's really not how they're treated. Neither 'don't be a butthead' nor 'don't whine about votes' are serving suggestions. They're both enforced constantly, directly and indirectly. Without that, the site would be an unreadable cesspool.

You've never asked "What did I say wrong?" when someone reacted unexpectedly in a social interaction?

I don't present every stranger who bumped me on the bus and then gave me the stink eye as if I was the clumsy boor with a questionnaire aimed at establishing a more constructive basis for our ongoing relationship. I just frown and go back to staring at my phone. This is a far more taxing and awkward near-daily social interaction than a seemingly inexplicable downvote.
Posted in jest of course, but the assumption that the combination of given name, family name, and birth date is unique has caused plenty of issues in the past, which is why most nations assign some kind of numeric identifier to each citizen.
And that's exactly why stuff like uBlock Origin / uMatrix / Disconnect / Privacy Badger is not just ethical, it's almost a moral imperative - they stop that kind of tracking, but not fetching those snippets from Google.

Decentraleyes aids further by moving the CDNs into your own machine, killing even the little tracking enabled by those CDNs.

Seconded. I put a recurring event called "Articulation" into my calendar, 30 mins each evening.

Sticking to jotting down my thoughts for the day, having to explicitly organize and summarize them (work, personal, whatever), has been an unexpected boost to clarity.

And this despite being in a managerial position, where you could say my days are filled with talking, organizing, resolution and strive for clarity anyway. The "self-articulation diary" still pays off.

Do people really need to worry about other than national states with android and ios? Exploits/Viruses in these OSes are extremely rare in comparison to the desktop OSes and they're just getting harder to exploit. It's gettting to the point where you need the resources of one of the cyber superpowers to exploit these OSes. Their permissions based security model is great and hopefully will make their way to desktop.

My theory is that there is a backdoor into these OSes. It's the path of least resistance and there's precedence of this. Obviously Apple/Google are going to vehemently deny this as this and these backdoors would be able to provide the most precise form of surveillance ever created.
Yes, we seem to have gone from women not having the choice to work to women not having the choice to not work.

I feel the same. Had to actually take time to understand the different tiers, which should be immediately clear in my opinion.

Also, I'm a sucker for having all the chapters, and interested in, for example, the chapter about Redis caching. Do I have to pay $289? Way too much...
Thanks for reporting that, deploying a fix now.
I had mine done when I was in my late 20s. I'm now in my late 40s. I need reading glasses for any small print but otherwise I'm fine. The doctor who did my lasik told me it would happen in my 40s and he was right.

I never had dry eye issues - just starbursts and halos at night. I have always been thrilled with the whole outcome. Though I think soon I may need to look at wearing glasses again - but the 20 years without them was worth it.
Should be noted this idea is not that novel though - it's just replacing word vectors with a pre-trained model. Interesting that it works so well but not very surprising.
For those who wonder, the uncredited cartoon strip

"When you look at a photo or see a realistic face, you see it as the face of another; but when you enter the world of cartoon, you see yourself"

Cannot recommend it strongly enough; it contains a rich and enlightening analysis of cartoons, and through that of the way we human perceive and communicate using graphics.

I have a very bad shortsightedness and this is the thing that always kept me from at least trying to pursue a career as a professional pilot. Now that I begin with my private pilote license, I decided to never to LASIK in order to avoid the risks.
