Which is reckless....

The only situation where that makes sense is if you're not only good at whatever job you have, but you're an expert stock picker and you discover through your superior skill that the one stock with the greatest upside is..... your employer!

The argument against your POV is right in your answer: leaving RSUs as company stock when they vest is no different than a non-employee buying shares of that stock at the vest price.

If instead of getting $X in RSUs you got $X in 'bonus' cash every month would you turn around and put it right into your employer's stock? Probably not.

Regardless of how confident you are in your employer, most people's single biggest investment is their job. Correlating your investments and your regular income is making an incredibly narrow bet which is reckless unless you can see the future.
That last point is the killer feature to me. I haven't updated my resume in years, but when I do, it is quick and I'm not worried about bitrot. The document I'm working on in wiki from last week? Odds are it is already broken. The document in Word that I shared with a friend? Almost certainly not going to be a trivial update.

This isn't to say that there are not benefits to word/wiki, mind. Just, "where everyone else is" is not the most satisfying of reasons.
When it comes to high-value products like laptops, always go with a vendor that has in-person support services in your country. By 'high value', I mean things you'd be utterly screwed without. I could lose my phone, but there's nothing critical on it. My laptop on the other hand....

I once had a Toshiba laptop purchased in Singapore. When the motherboard died and I looked for a replacement, the only option was to ship it back to Singapore, which was of course a no-go.

Since then, I've only purchased Apple or Dell laptops, as both of them have fast turnaround times, since they're actually available in my country. Definitely costs a little more, but you can't beat that peace of mind.

To be clear, I've read a number of articles, primers, and research manuscripts about multiple economic theories, though often focusing on MMT, so I am not one of those that hears things like 'national debt' and goes howling at the moon and agro at the dinner table, and indeed am a step away from the common person in terms of education on the matter, but I am a neuroscientists, not an economist, and this is HN where there is almost always someone else that knows a whole lot more about something than yourself.

I don't have the energy for a lengthy reply but, the short version is that for someone as economically knowledgeable as him to present his case in such a way is dishonest, when every one of his arguments/supporting-facts has numerous embedded suppositions or real counter arguments.

I'll give one example, look at Krugman's chart on tax rates and growth, seems compelling! Not so much, when you factor in tax avoidance/evasion and realize that net tax paid has remained relatively constant [1] - he knows that, and purposely ignores it.

But do you believe it's the same for young students who have tons of free time over the space of many years? I'm not sure your personal experience dictates an absolute about this situation.

All these things are cool but that’s about it. Sure you can call this innovation, but Apple raised the bar high enough where Apple Pay or Apple Maps isn’t something that would make me go out and drop $1000 on a device.

HomePod isn’t a great device, at least the last generation that we bought. I use Samsung Pay and have no need for Apple Pay. I don’t wear a watch because I have a phone that tells me the time among other things.

Again, I’m not crapping on the engineers who worked these things, but these tiny products are nothing compared to the paradigm shifts of iTunes, the iPhone, etc.

With a much less healthy population the US sees significant cancer and heart disease treatment successes over most of Europe. The US may pay quite a bit more for these successes, but it's not exactly black and white on which is better. There's a reason the top five cancer centers in the world are in the US.

Edit: Just realized my mistake. You are fine with trickle down healthcare in Europe, but are not fine with it in the US. There was absolutely nothing to be gained by engaging with someone so openly biased. My bad.

First - a lot of grade school is just babysitting. It's definitely not a cramped situation of required learning. Point being, there's little lost opportunity cost here. Assuming kids are getting the fundamentals ... there's lots of time for more, decent learning.

Second - any second language skill is going to be immensely useful as a learning tool. It really helps one understand language and communication.

Third - Chinese, it would seem, is likely going to be a useful language in a country receiving considerably Chinese investment.

But it is deeply suspect to me that the company, which Winick prefers I don’t name, would put an intern in charge of a project that would lead directly to the elimination of someone’s job. Not because Winick wasn’t capable with the technology, certainly—but because that’s a hell of a burden to lay on a summer intern.

Actually, I can see from a manager's point of view how a summer intern would be perfect. The person who automated the job is no longer with the company.

miles per minute (range per wait-time) goes drastically down after about 80% of charging because of the so-called 'Stadium effect'.

In simple terms 0-80 takes 30 minutes but the rest of the 20 percent will take 30 minutes too. So it is better to make two stops if you have to and get 80 + 80.
It's ironic that the newer wave of self proclaimed liberals cannot stand free speech, as their own freedoms rely on the foundational concept of being able to speak without persecution. Yes, companies aren't bound by free speech laws, but they have monopoly control over reach, and it's worthy to investigate either regulation or an alternative that doesn't systemically censor one school of thought.

Persecute (bad) actions, not speech! Or soon we drift into Orwellian thought policing.

He is referring to the colonial Hong Kong described in the article, where there was indeed an underclass and racial discrimination and problems (even if, as the article claims, the British employed a "lighter touch" in Hong Kong than in India).
No, it was a groundless inflammatory comment. It's not ok. It's not "a metaphor". It's needlessly offensive and very harmful to Nim and its community. Your comment is currently at the top of a thread, with a very heavy accusation towards the community - tolerating hate speech of any kind is basically as bad as it can be for a community. Even on HN, there will be many people who won't read your further comments, won't know that it's "just a metaphor", and will believe it. Then, when I try to invite them to some Nim conference, they'll tell me that "Oh, Nim... Would be good, but the community is so hostile, so I'll pass".

Please, at least realize what you have done, and don't do it again. Please.
Does any electric car have an option where you can place a portable gasoline generator in the frunk and then trickle charge the battery while you drive on a road trip (with appropriate venting of exhaust).

If not, why not?

I've seen very small, quiet gasoline generators. I would think this could solve this problem easily at the expense of a small amount of storage space.

California county assessor records are, or were public. When I worked in Sacramento a decade ago, you could look up property by address on the county website and not only get the assessed value and taxes owed, but the name of the owner and realtor, past owners, price paid and amount of loan. Seems like much of that info has been removed from the public facing website, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t available for purchase. That’s presumably how Zillow gets its data.

Welp, nope, this deviates from the study; The "drive" study suggests that wages need to satisfy their needs, give them cushion, be at or above their peers.

For the most part, "happiness" in the U.S.A. starts at 50% more than the average salary ($50k).

It actually stands out to me as odd, given the rest of the article. The same could be said about movies, games, toy cars, etc. Any 1 thing is easy to own a lot of, so long as it's small.

It's when you have multiple collections, or even 1 collection that's too large, that it's a problem.

I have a lot of hobbies that I do only occasionally, and the stuff from them is a little overwhelming. And when combined with all my wife and I have kept because we might need it some day, the hobby room is a disaster area.

We've even gone over our limit on books. To store more books, we'd have to get rid of other things at this point. And most of those books just sit on shelves and never get read. Some might, but overall they're just not actually being read.

To make it worse, books are one of the things that could be digital instead of physical and they could take no space at all. I even prefer reading on my Kindle over a physical book.

In the end, I just can't agree with him on books. (And I don't think Marie Kondo does, either, based on watching a few episodes of the TV show.)

But it is, if you read about the concept of the "parasite class" the idea that government social programs that try to keep societal poverty at a minimum is a parasite on the productive class (taxpayers.) His use of the word parasite, in relation to starving children is a dog whistle coded to say, "No one wants these people to starve but because taxes are a theft of that imposes on my liberty then they should be starved for the greater good of the economy." It is the implication of his statement, if not the intent. As for asking for his credentials, that's because Austrian/Anarcho capitalism is often quackery of the highest order espoused by people who are not economists, and often part of that "cult of anti-intellectualism" that Asimov is oft quoted to say is so intertwined into American society.

> It's technically illegal to have a wild animal as a pet in Brazil, as officials want to ensure vulnerable creatures don't get separated from their families and that they can be reintroduced into the wild after injury.

Same where I am. I've wondered, though. What constitutes a pet?

For example, I give peanuts to the wild squirrels around my house. This is not illegal where I live. It is illegal, however, to keep a wild squirrel as a pet.

Several of the squirrels seem to recognize me, and run up to me when I go out, get up on their hind legs, and wave their front paws around in a gesture that looks like they are asking for peanuts.

I'm pretty sure some of them would come inside to get their peanuts if I opened the front door but did not go outside. From there I could probably train them to essentially be pets [1].

But would they legally be pets, and therefore illegal, if they were free to come and go at will? Or would they simply be wild animals coming into human space, which happens to be controlled by a human who isn't going to make them leave?

A co-worker had a similar situation with a raccoon. He was giving her food, and she got more and more comfortable with him, to the point she would come right up, and peacefully accept food and petting. She even brought her babies by apparently to show them to him.

Was he legally keeping a pet raccoon?

[1] I don't actually want squirrels in my house. In fact, I've done some looking into squirrel traps in case one does come in and I need to get it out. That almost happened a couple of times when I was tossing peanuts from the door, and one squirrel startled another from behind, causing the first squirrel to dash forward right toward my door.
Most of the Bitcoin core developers were gerting lots of death threats during the blocksize ,,debate''.

"It's surprisingly devastating," she says. "They've been disappearing in the last two, three years. The rate of extinction is just really alarming for me."
"This is the story that we're seeing in every single species, we had to go up to the mountain tops to see them, when they would have been all over the island (in the past)."

It's everywhere that the extinction rate is alarming. We are in an era of profound ecological collapse.

The anger isn't towards Pinyin specifically, but towards attempts to switch the writing system to phonetic writing.

Pinyin is still taught in schools today starting from preschool. Most of the current generation of Chinese people are familiar with both and the common sentiment is that truly phonetic writing systems aren't practical, and that CCP attempts to use Pinyin as a "real" writing system were misguided and yet another example of the government trying to destroy Chinese culture.
> Think that if every propery had to pay 2600U$S monthly in taxes they would be worth almost nothing.

SF has lots of properties that sold at $3 million+ at their last sale, and so would be paying about that in basic property taxes before the 2% annual basis value increase allowed under prop 13, Mello-Roos assessments, etc.

Now,if every housing unit (not property) were assessed a $2600/mo tax, would that drive sale prices down? Maybe. Would it drive up incomes and make businesses thrive? Well, it would increase the income of people living in SF (excluding the homeless) by driving lower income people out even more than the status quo does. But it wouldn't cause incomes for the same people to rise. But, also, that's not a land tax.

What you really seem to want,if you want a land tax, is something like a tax not of $2600 on every property or every housing unit, but on every unit of land area equivalent to the average per-household land footprint of existing housing units. And, sure, that might encourage density, but not the income or business effects you claim.
> I realize that this is becoming a popular opinion, but why? I almost understand the full prohibition mindset more.

80% of VC investments are essentially failures, it doesn't mean they were bad bets, or even wasted time.

More to the point, everything Vinod said was fairly reasonable, some of it even contrarian (i.e. 'most VC's don't add value) which is useful given that most VC's wouldn't even dare say such a thing ... it allows for a conversation wherein one would not normally be possible.

Sam, for all of his influence and insight, doesn't yet have the clout/standing/safety to make such public statements about his own industry without severely risking his neck (and YC reputation as well). Very few people do, in any industry. I always like to hear someone taking 'their own' to task.

The lack of respect Chan gets in the west is a travesty IMO. His fight choreography is rooted in the traditions Chinese opera while being constantly fresh, playful and imaginative.

AirBnB rents those units out if they have a nontrivial gain from it. That they merely provide the service doesn’t seem important.
