I believe the buyer was also slightly more aggressive, i.e. was willing to let the deal close faster than my friend, who rightfully wanted to take his time before getting into the biggest purchase of his life (inspections and such). That, paired with the massive downpayment the buyer was ready to immediately put in earnest money, was enough to convince the seller. Real estate transactions are not always that rational.

Also, many folks in the Bay Area just go all cash, and that's obviously much better for the seller since it means very fast closing.

But this if off topic, because a person on a 150k startup salary in the Bay Area won't be able to participate in any of these discussions.

So if economic activity is the metric that supposedly justifies US interest there, then the need to secure its vital maritime lines of communication is even more pronounced for China than for the US.
> Work / life balance

Disagree here for one specific type of startup...remote (which I know you mentioned).

Here's an example day at BigCorp:

- Rise and shine at 5am to work out early enough

- Leave the house by 7am

- 1+ hour commute into work

- Start work at 8am

- Stay until 8pm

- Get on/in the car, train, bus for a 1+ hour commute home

- Late dinner around 9pm

- Veg out because you're exhausted and go to bed by 11pm

Here's an example day at RemoteStartup:

- Rise at 7am to work out

- Make breakfast at 8am

- Standup at 8:30 while eating breakfast

- Work until 5pm

- Spend some family time and eat dinner until 8pm

- Work another 2 hours before bed around 10pm

The work life balance in scenario #2 is far and away more desirable to most people.

> Berkeley has pleasant single family homes in a great school district around the $1MM mark. You can absolutely do that on $200k/year.

Let's say you make $200k/year and manage to put together a $300k down payment and get a $700k mortgage at 3.8%. Here is the breakdown of your annual spending (using 2018 numbers):

$18,500 to 401K

$35,930 in federal income tax

$10,593 in FICA (Social security and medicare)

$13,724 in California income tax

Take home after tax + retirement savings: $121,253
Also, remember that the rules have changed and only $10,000 in state, local, and property tax is deductible against federal income.

Remaining payments:

$39,140 in mortgage payments

$10,500 in property tax

$1,000 in homeowners insurance

$10,000 in car ownership costs (gas, maintenance, insurance, financing or depreciation)

$4,000 in utilities (gas, electricity, water, trash, internet)

$1,000 for phone

That leaves you with $55,613 of "real" annual take home, or $4,634 per month, without counting the cost of food, entertainment, other debt servicing, etc. Certainly not poverty wages, and many people get by with far less, but you'll also spend 2+ hours per day commuting and have a significant fraction of your net worth tied up in a house in an earthquake-prone area.
Courts have held that to be true before and even gone farther, finding the bar ultimately responsible for failing to train or supervise the bartender to prevent such an outcome. This is probably mostly because bars usually have larger insurance policies than drunk drivers.

Ask HN: Engineering companies that are good at project management?
It seems natural that a startup with a small team forego traditional project management in favor of delivering the product. However, at a certain scale, project management components start to become critical. For example, I expect that when well executed, following practices would save months of time:

* Domain experts sign off on a plan to ensure success
* Stakeholders agree that their needs will be met
* Just enough design and estimation is done to plan around dependencies

My question is, who out there is getting project management right? What does it look like inside the organization - what responsibilities do engineers, managers and product managers have in order for this to work? Has anyone seen a firm successfully adopt a culture of project management?

The file provided by Robinhood is a gain/loss statement. Since the assets on Robinhood are not movable across exchanges, these gain loss entries can be directly used to file your tax returns.

TurboTax Online provides a way to upload your Robinhood taxable entries. If you are doing it with an accountant, you can just send the file along with BearTax tax documents else you can enter these taxable entries in capital gains or losses section with each line as Asset, bought on, cost basis, sold on, total proceeds, net gain loss, short/long term.

We at https://bear.tax are working on a way to make it easy for users to import into the platform and get consolidated tax documents, so you don't have to do it all by yourself. We'll keep you posted on that.

ISAs != tax funded education because the former closely aligns the incentives of the educator with the educated while the latter does not.
If early liquidity wasn't an option for founders, this massive pre-ipo/private-ipo market wouldn't exist.

Without early liquidity, a pre-ipo zuck/kalanick/etc. would be a paper billionaire with $0 in the bank and >$1bn "invested" in a risky tech startup. That's not financially or mentally sound, even by their risk lovin standards.

If investors demanded every penny go towards growing the business, those CEOs would just IPO earlier to get liquidity.

It's a necessary alignment of interests, if investors' interest is delaying the IPO.

Employee options holders can't just decide to take a company public, so their interests can stay misaligned.

In our current hardware it is almost entirely electrical resistance. But even in a theoretical 100% superconducting computer there’s a fundamental lower bound to heat dissipated by every bit-erasing operation; this is the Landauer limit. Entropy increases when we forget information: we can’t reverse the computation, giving time a direction (the so-called thermodynamical arrow of time).

You can think of it as conservation of energy: if you have two electric signals and put them through a gate with only one output, some of the total energy must be dumped to balance the books. If a computation is completely reversible—if we can always get our input back given the output, Landauer limit does not apply, but of course other hardware inefficiencies may still be present.

> 2) startups have a lot higher tolerance for failure

I disagree. They have, necessarily, a greater willingness to accept risk since they are already in a risky situation by definition.

If anything the startup is likely less tolerant of failure compared to a big established business, in that it has nothing to fall back on and will simply fail and go out of business.

I believe this is true in most of Europe - stay to the right except when passing, which you do on the left.

On the other hand, some cities (such as LA) have off-ramps on both the left and right sides, not to mention many multi-lane freeway interchanges located on both sides... combined with Google Maps telling you at the last minute that you need to be in the left 3 lanes, followed by immediately being in the right-most lane in order to get on the right freeway. Almost every visit to LA requires 1 or 2 retries on a few of these freeways. When I'm not constrained for time, I often opt for much slower side streets to avoid the utter insanity of some interchanges.
Being free but indebted is not really as bad as being forced to work someone else's land. I owe my bank a significant sum, but I am able to find work that schedules both a repayment of that debt as well as a nice profit and accumulation of assets for myself on the side. That is not possible under slavery or serfdom. I owe my bank money, but I don't owe them my life, as they cannot require that I pay them back under such an inefficient and disenfranchising mechanism.
One of the possibilities for adiabatic computing I was interested in some time ago was to use an oscillating power supply. You still lose some energy due to the interconnect resistance, but much less, since you're only sustaining the oscillations (the charges don't get dissipated when returning to the ground, they just move back).

Then, it's "only" a matter of deciding which part of the circuit will be powered for the next oscillation, and the switching can be done when vds=0.

I haven't had the occasion to think about this as much as I wanted, though, so the above explanation might be incorrect. Hopefully this gives you a better idea of the concept (which there are many ways to approach).

So yeah, there are losses (mostly due to circuit resistance), but the "switches" are capacitors, which are just "springs" in the electrical sense. You can get back your energy if done in a clever manner, but we typically just short them to discharge (switch) them :)

So, compare the energy required to compact and extend a spring if:

* You oscillate with it

* You compact it, fully release it, then recompact it.

This is a very apt analogy, I think, up to the mathematical level.
If we're talking about most developed cities outside they US they're going to have a hard time waging an asymmetric war without a substantial amount of semi-automatic rifles. If we're talking about better armed populace like you are in the middle east yes it is indeed very difficulty to hold a city with such a force.
I agree with you. ISA proponents make two arguments that sort of resonate with me, though. First, incentive alignment is closer with a private structure. This is weak to me because there’s no reason why incentives can’t be aligned in a similar way with, say, an additional tax on students that looks similar to an ISA (big standard deduction, time limited, with a total cap on return).

Second, and more reasonable to me, is that the political climate makes public universal education impossible at the moment so why not pioneer in the private space? I would love to see society invest in citizens, and in fact I would go farther and fully federalize the preK-12 system and ban charters. Such things are just not realistic with a government that can’t even pass a simple budget without fireworks.

This is being announced now in the Google Next keynote.

This platform focuses not on the this-AI-is-magic-and-can-solve-everything like many AI SaaS startups announced on Hacker News, but focuses on how to actually integrate this AI into production workflows, which is something I wish was discussed more often in AI.

The announcements here, including AutoML Tables (which is coincidentally similar to my own Python package: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19492406), the new BigQuery BI tools, and the new Google Sheets integrations, make me a very happy data scientist.

I'm taking the rest of the week to figure out how to integrate everything announced into my team.

> Now, however, I've dropped VS Code in favour of Emacs

I've tried on VS Code and also given up (on Org, not on vscode, which was far more central to my workflow than Org was).

I'd tried SyncOrg on Android, but had not heard of Orgzly. I see from your link it's on FDroid—just retried doing a search on FDroid for 'org-mode' to see what else is out there that I missed, and nothing comes up (neither SyncOrg not Orgzly). FDroid really need to fix their search, and/or makes of those clients really need to fix their metadata; not sure which.

I may give Orgzly a go, but tbh without decent desktop client (short of switching to Emacs, which I shan't be doing), I'm not sure how worthwhile it will be. I may try some pandoc automation...
The original commenter talked about BYOD though, maybe school-given devices are set-up so that they don't let kids do whatever they want.

In the case of BYOD, if you're not okay with your kid having an Internet-connected device and that they're going to use it responsibly then don't give him/her one or only allow it under parental supervision. If we're carefully watching and teaching kids kids when they're handling knives or matches, why not do so with internet connected devices?
If I understand it, this class of “telescope” is made up of arrays of telescopes spread as widely over the hemisphere as possible. We can only get data like this by collaborating with as many different sites as possible. It literally can’t exist without broad support from many countries.

As one of the scientists said in the interview, the next step is a telescope bigger than the earth. Hopefully we can collaborate on those too but if that involves a lot of satellites in a heliocentric orbit that may limit contributions considerably.

5 Whys is not intended to solve problems, or find a 'definitive' cause. It is just one way to identify a cause.

"Not all problems have a single root cause. If one wishes to uncover multiple root causes, the method must be repeated asking a different sequence of questions each time." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_Whys

When you work on incidents, you should already know that the incident you're looking at could have wide-spread effects, and may only be a symptom of a series of complex events. You may be able to find a cause with 5 Whys, but probably not the cause, because the causal chain is almost always complex. 5 Whys is just a shoot-from-the-hip way to find the first, most obvious cause from the perspective of the person doing 5 Whys.

You might not be able to identify the "real" root cause right away, but by documenting each incident's cause and linking them into a value chain, and reflecting these in runbooks, you can over time eventually see where the root causes are coming from. But you also don't need to immediately solve the root cause to begin adding safeguards around the known incidents.
