To be fair a lot of people only have a cable box (one ethernet port) and plug everything into their wifi router, which is also the DHCP server, firewall, etc.

I'd guess this is the most common setup for residences, it requires next to no technical skill other then plugging in the cables. Should definitely count as a router here no?

Your story still leaves a lot of room for skepticism. For one, 1.5MM is not actually a very good deal for an engineer in your situation, and likely the company gave you very unfavorable terms. Electing 83b is a fairly irrelevant detail in your story as it only affects taxes, not the outcome of the company.

Your shares are likely going to get hugely diluted exactly because of growth investing like in the article. Investors and founders will essentially trade away your share of the company in new rounds, while they get huge payouts for it, your shares may grow a small amount, again realized over some long time horizon.

Let’s take an extreme example and say your shares double in value (not likely) through the remaining funding rounds, and eventually in another ~7 years you can actually sell them in some liquidity event.

So that’s $3 MM (gross) over 10 years. That works out to be $300,000 / yr in equity compensation.

Certainly very high. But not any kind of crazy number. Definitely there are rank and file engineers in FAANG companies, Wall Street, and other industries getting annual RSUs or bonuses well beyond that without having to wait 10 years to realize it or have the risk that it folds or you get laid off and lose a bunch of future value, and have a high base salary, good benefits, and good work/life balance the whole time.

Given that even a crazy outcome like $3 MM annualized over 10 years isn’t significantly better than other reasonable total comp opportunities, this overall paints a really bad picture for start-ups.

Your case, which is nearly about the best lottery ticket someone could get, is only slightly better than a competitive position at many public companies, finance shops, etc.

Meanwhile, almost all start-up outcomes would be far worse.
Do they increase the actual power emitted or just create interference? i.e. should one be concerned health-wise if many of those are used? (assuming one believes in RF in these frequencies being harmful).
> It's just a globally-known tourism business vs. a globally-known shopping business.

Actually it’s a globally-known shopping business named after the afore mentioned globally known tourism business. Which I think is an important point.

If call your software company Barcelona, then you sort of need to accept that you aren’t on an equal footing when it comes to name ownership with the place you named your company after no matter how big you get.
Are you under the impression that having someones signature on the return means you do not owe tax penalties if they do it wrong? If you read the copious amount of detailed instructions the irs provides, you'll soon find that thats not the case
> Why don't startups offer actual equity grants instead of options?

Great tax advantages. For ex one startup I worked for did it the other way resulting in recognizable tax income and everyone got hit with a tax bill. Fortunately when it was brought to leadership's attention they were enlightened enough to offset the tax bill with cash but don't expect that, ever.

Way cool! The ecosystem is indeed developing:

I have been working on a Python way to import/export Orgmode files to/from an SQLite database that you can view and query in a native GUI (using Toga[0]). I was writing an Org-mode importing package for Python (to gain access to my Orgzly files and learn Python) until I found Orgnode[1]. I have the GUI table working, but I need to connect Orgnode to it and build an exporting system. You can follow this project at [2].

ISPs already don't have a good track record, so I would argue them NXDOMAIN advertising (like Spectrum does by redirecting you to a yahoo search page) won't make someone unsubscribe from their services. But if a service like 1^4, that specifically states they don't track you, lies about it, then that would be a huge issue for all of the customers that pay for the company's other products.
The article says as much: "It has some similarities with WHPX on Windows and HVF on MacOS."
I think the poster was talking about two separate schools. One which doesn't allow BYOD and tackled the problem by removing Firefox, and a second where the poster works at which does allow BYOD and therefore removing Firefox is not an option.
Yep. What happens when Chrome adds DoH support? And Safari?

And whatever Gaming app the kids download? Suddenly it will become impossible to manage and maintain.

Not even talking about the troubleshooting nightmare.

DNS should be a system-level setting, not an App-level setting.
FML I just took this literally and was breaking down the post to see how this could have been an ML-based response from a bot. Then I looked at the poster's other comments and realized I'm an idiot. :(
"To that end, today we are releasing a list of DOH requirements, available on the Mozilla wiki, that we will use to vet potential resolvers for Firefox. The requirements focus on three areas: 1) limiting data collection and retention from the resolver, 2) ensuring transparency for any data retention that does occur, and 3) limiting any potential use of the resolver to block access or modify content."

I sometimes use a local resolver bound to localhost that blocks ads by pointing to a custom root.

If someone aiming to be on the TRR list sets up a remote resolver that blocks ads (or replaces them with blank images) perhaps using the same technique, it could allow Firefox users to get ad blocking by default, by using DOH.

I wonder if that would violate Mozilla's requirements?

Are ads considered "content"?

There is of course precedent for blocking undesirable content via DNS as a "service".

Third party DNS service, for example the famous one that starts with "O", has been used to block certain content, e,g, at schools.

This was offered as a fee-based service.

If I remember correctly they also offered "free" service which was subject to redirection of NXDOMAIN to paid placement "search" results/ads.
It's good science.

Been able to make testable predictions and then confirming them or disproving them is the entire (awesome) point.
I’m about halfway through and also did my undergrad at GT. Overall I’ve been pretty disappointed. The lectures are just YouTube videos played through Udacity, and the quality has varied from okay to bad. TAs make a big difference, but the quality there is a huge range. Some classes have had really good interesting active Slack communities, while others are basically just a Piazza page with people asking for help on projects. If you were disciplined and didn’t care about the degree at the end, you’d get a lot more bang for your buck just by watching the YouTube videos and reading the textbook, since that’s basically the level of instruction you get.

When suggesting trying to solve the problem, I'd first consider what caused the problem. It obviously was not always this way. The stories of people in the 50s and 60s working their way through college with a part time job and then graduating not only not in debt but even with a little bit set aside for a down payment on their first home are not just stories. That was a real thing.

So what happened? We decided that it would be a good thing if anybody could go to school without having to pay for it immediately. It's a pretty well intended motivation. And so how did we do this? We tried to solve it through regulations. The idea was pretty straight forward. To help ensure anybody could afford to go to college the government would give loans unconditionally, aside from financial need. To try to ensure people wouldn't just take the money and squander it, the law was adjusted to prevent these loans from being able to be dismissed in bankruptcy.

And indeed college attendance shot up after these laws were passed. But this did two things. It sharply increased the demand for post-secondary education, and it also increased the supply of money available to pay for it. Predictably costs started to gradually rise. And so as this happened, it began to be that government loans alone were no longer sufficient to ensure everybody could go to college without having to immediately pay for it. And so we now did the exact same thing with private loans - they could no longer be dismissed, which meant that from a lender's perspective, giving a loan was practically free money.

And we've seen what happened here already. Costs skyrocketed since there was now an effectively unlimited amount of money that students could borrow. The only reason costs stopped accelerating as fast is because we reached 'peak college' in 2010-2011 with enrollment figures with enrollment continuing to decline since then in spite of an increasing population.

----

The point I'm making with this is that the one and only reason we're in this situation is because of well intended regulations. It's easy to say just "regulate out of existence exploitative student loan conditions" but things like this are far easier to say than do. For instance, as you make loans less profitable for lenders, they end up becoming more selective on who they lend to. In turn we end up going back to where we started where college is no longer something for everybody. And in my opinion this is probably the right direction, but at the same time I think many people would disagree with this. If you happen to be one of these people then you end up in this tough situation of trying to create a system where lenders can/will lend to people who they probably should not be lending to. Getting a degree in underwater basket weaving isn't going to likely lead to a life such that one could repay years of debts taken on to obtain such a degree, even if the cost of education was relatively "affordable."
I will like to share this great testimony of drsalatosolutiontemple@gmail.com or website https://drsalatosolutionte0.wixsite.com/drsalato that helped me to save my marriage by increasing my Penis size and i now know that penis size really matters in a relationship or marriage. I got married to my wife about 2 month after
we met on a photo studio, we lived happily for the first 5 months of our marriage until i and my wife start having quarrels at home because i couldn't satisfy her on bed with my small penis. Actually my penis was very small, it measured about 3.5 inch long on erection and i am 35 years old ,man. My wife said it was forbidden by the women of this world.. Sometimes i will return from work without finding my wife at home and whenever i call or ask her where she was, she will always snub at me and sometimes just tell me to go get a larger dick. All this continued for a long time and it hurt me so much that i was at the edge of breaking up on the marriage till when i read about a Herbal doctor called DR. SALATO online. I never thought i could smile and be in a
happy marriage again if not for the help of DR SALATO I got the DR SALATO on his Emails: drsalatosolutiontemple@gmail.com on the internet and i emailed him, and he got back to me with some encouraging words, he got me some herbal cream which i use for just 7 days and i began to feel the enlargement of my penis, and without surgery. This went on for a little period of about 10 days and to my greatest surprise my wife keeps screaming that she love my big dick now. Now my wife no longer fight with me, and my penis is now about 11.5 inches long on erection and off course very large round. And now my wife uses breasts, hips and bums enlargement. I and my wife are very happy for the help rendered to me by DR.SALATO, and i want to say a big thanks to DR SALATO for the help. You can contact DR SALATO on his Email:drsalatosolutiontemple@gmail.com or visit his website https://drsalatosolutionte0.wixsite.com/drsalato i am so thankful to DR SALATO for helping me. you can call OR whatsapp him +2348103629945
We sometimes take slightly more junior profiles, but it's usually very demanding on the person joining. The level of quality and efficiency required by the projects is high, so those who succeeded were the ones able to ramp up their skills quickly, and ready to invest the necessary effort. Generally, it might be an easier approach to gain experience on other projects first, and then join -- but if you are up for a challenge, you're still welcome to apply :)
I thought about doing either powerline networking or CATV cable. We have CATV to every room and aren't using it. After some research, the speed and reliability seemed quite questionable.

I'd prefer to run Ethernet, but one portion of my house, the part that has most of the devices, is really hard to wire to my standards. I should probably just find a pro to do that run, or bite the bullet and either do some drywall work or put up some crown molding to get that run.

I'm afraid I won't know where to stop though. :-) If I'm gonna do drywall work in the spare bedroom, I might as well pull it ALL down. If I do that, I might as well run some more power circuits, seal the HVAC ducting. I might as well remodel that closet. Which might mean taking space from the closet for the basement bathroom and laundry. etc...

I have an illness. :-)
ISOs members are the standards organisations of countries. Nothing else can join except standards organisations representing a whole country, typically a UN member state although the exact margins are a bit tricky (e.g. China and Hong Kong are both in ISO...)

So, in most cases an ISO 3166 code goes to an ISO member, they would propose what they think is the best option, and if nobody else objects they get what they asked for.

Where the country code is for some entity that isn't an independent nation state (e.g. VG and VI are for the two sets of Virgin Islands, one set belongs to the United States, the other to Britain) or for an entity that doesn't enjoy full participating membership in ISO (often very poor countries or those which don't have much diplomacy anyway so who cares what the outside world thinks) then it could be decided by somebody else, if they don't like that too bad stage a war of independence.

In some cases there's contention. For example the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland would like UK (and it has the ccTLD .uk) but Ukraine thinks it makes more sense for them to have it. So, neither gets it, Ukraine is UA and the United Kingdom is GB.

Presumably Germans thought DE was a better choice because it matches what they call themselves, whereas many other countries figured it makes sense to use their English name to choose the code, or they simply didn't care.
Within the cloud hosting space, you can find solutions on either end of the spectrum. AWS and DigitalOcean are powerful, but you're on your own in managing them. Things like Netlify and Now (Zeit) are relatively simple to use, but offer a limited feature set.

We sit comfortably in the middle, balancing power and simplicity.
My understanding is that "fast roaming" and many of the proprietary tricks are just ways to speed up the cryptographic pairing process when you switch AP's. I think the same thing happens, but some steps are streamlined.

I agree. Org is great, as I said above.

I don't think I criticise Org anywhere in my comment, I was purely questioning the points in the article about non-Emacs use.
This is just markdown..
That would be the right approach to try, but essentially the problem is, if you want to try and compare wealth, then you have to do it without reference to the monetary unit. Even average working wage is tricky, because most people in that era didn't work for money - they lived off the land, possibly got paid annually with "in kind" payments of housing, food etc. as apprentices or servants.

The monetary unit is very misbehaved, still a problem today, and doesn't behave like other units of measurement. In particular between 1600 and today, you have fractional reserve banking coming in, and playing merry havoc with the money supply; whilst at the same time, the industrialisation that the banking system enables, rapidly increases production, and plays equal havoc with the amount of goods and services being produced. The former increases inflation, the latter reduces it.

If you turn the question round, and ask which company was more powerful - well the East India company and its competitors in their day opened up the sea lanes enabling the propagation of information and people around the world, for good and evil - and Apple and similar are doing exactly the same today. So they're certainly comparable, but simplistically asking which company is richer, is probably missing the point.
Maybe it's not AR, but it's certainly XR.
> And scientists, by and large, don’t seem to be concerned with impressing the public...

Some quotes from European Research Commissioner Moedas, answering the first question.

“...which is that this is linking between the citizens and science, how important is that?...”

“Because we want European citizens to feel connected.”

“I’ve never seen this room so full.”

“It’s so refreshing to come here, to see so many people, to see people clap. I mean it’s very rare in a press room to have people clapping.”

During his introductory comments also, he is clearly excited and wants to engage people, and not simply through the scientific method. He talks about watching sci-fi movies as a kid and books on science.

People. It’s ok to throw Science a party.

>I've been looking for and at solutions for using org-mode as the markup language for a static site generator, and none of the ones I find do what I want.

I do exactly this via Pelican. I wrote a Pelican plugin to handle org files. Behind the scenes, it merely uses pandoc to convert to rst, and Pelican handles rst quite well.

No major issues so far. Email me if you want the code.

Note that my solution assumes one org file per post. I've been working on an equivalent of ox-hugo[1] for Pelican, and I can share that as well. It's still in alpha (I break compatibility all the time) - but it works well enough that I'm using it as my primary way of writing posts. Having all your posts in one org file is fantastic.

It's still the same concept - it extracts a subtree into an org file, and uses pandoc to convert to rst.

Improving Robot Control with Residual RL
My professor in college was studying this. The big deal was that you could use cold plasma to deactivate bio-films which are resistant to even autoclaving. I guess biofilms are a problem when you are trying to clean hospitals, surgical tools, etc...

The only issue was that she needed helium to ignite the cold plasma in the RF generator. Helium is stupid expensive for this sort of thing.
I was awarded RSU's at my last company (a perpetual startup) - not millions, but maybe tens of thousands of dollars. I had a signed contract that guaranteed them. But then the company merged/consolidated/de-consolidated/re-merged and shuffled around so that when they finally got rid of all of us, they said that those stock options were worth nothing, too bad, so sad. And what am I going to do, spend $100K on a lawyer to maybe recover a quarter of that ten years from now? And they know we won't, that's why they get away with what they get away with.
Of course you can lock stuff via enterprise settings so that about:config entries can't be modified by local users, but that takes time to find out and test, while removing the weird non-Chrome browser that's still present mostly for inertia reasons but nowadays only gets used for evil porn is much easier.
”There are some coding mistakes that cannot be tested or caught during development and deployment. These can be exploited.”

Share grants would be seen as income by the IRS and most states and taxed at their Fair Market Value. Options on the other hand usually qualify as Incentive Stock Options that aren’t taxed at grant time and “when exercised, it isn't necessary to pay ordinary income tax. Instead, the options are taxed at a capital gains rate.” [1]

Options are better up front because there is no outlay for the employee. They are a hassle down the road. However, if you exercise during a liquidation event your tax liability is probably covered.

Stock is a pain upfront unless granted before the first round of funding or any real revenue when the stock value is very little. They are easier down the road, though.

Just my two cents. HackerNews, please correct any errors in logic or how this stuff works.

That's the problem. There shouldn't be a gazillion things, and the fact that there are is a major reason why rich, savvy, and unscrupulous people are able to game the system while average people pay full freight.

Well, we have in the same sense that you take a picture of bacteria every time you take a selfie: there certainly are lots of pictures which contain black holes that are too small to be seen in them.

In line with that analogy, the basic difficulty is simply that they are tremendously small compared to the sizes of galaxies.
Ok, I can understand that, but in this case there is particular meaning and decision made with regard to the problems I addressed. You should take another look to understand that part of it.
