They probably tell the new hires the same thing they tell themselves:

* It's always a gamble, but if you'd received $x0,000 of options 3 years ago, they'd be worth $x00,000 now.

* You'll own 0.00x% of the company, and if you owned that much of Facebook you'd be a multimillionaire.

* Companies like Amazon don't make a profit, and the stock market is fine with it. They know Bezos could turn a profit if he wanted to, but he's putting all the money to work growing the business.

* A company's IPO price isn't its all-time peak price; Google's stock increased 9x from their IPO price.

You'll note that, if you look carefully, nowhere in those points did I promise WeWork options would ever be worth anything.

This view is not controversial at all in HN where techno-libertarian crowds abound, and these are often adjacent to more authoritarian circles (see NRx/Moldbug et al.). It's also wrong. If it were true, modern democracies would not have built anything lasting more than 10-odd years since their inception. Multi-generational and even trans-national projects do exist, but perhaps they have been less publicized than other news and you haven't heard of them.

I didn't say it was easier, but was wondering what would make it so much more difficult that the other user had a hard time imagining it.

Valuable is different from required though.
5160 € net would be incredibly much in Finland. A single guy would have to bring home roughly 115,000 € = 128,600 USD gross annually for that.

That would put you close to the 1% of the top earners in Finland. Even most mid-sized company CEOs don't make nearly that much.
With your eyes, mostly.
In short, yes, I do find it concerning. Germany at least has a social safety net (as opposed to, say, the US), but making use of it is often dehumanizing and complex by design. Of course owning a nice house and an upscale car is a few rungs removed from having basic shelter and transport.

One of the middle class problems I do see is that owning your daily stuff (like a house and a car) - and hence gaining some measure of independence - is increasingly difficult, even for relatively high earners. I think another poster here got it right when they said that being upper class ultimately means being a rentier instead of a rentee.
Incidentally the «utter honesty» described here, but impossible to define, is probably the most important key to intelligence.

Dunno, but normally it's not a great idea to buy real estate when prices are insane and property taxes are high. Also if you buy on credit the asset is the creditor's until you pay it off, so you can't sell.

It gives the impression that it can build multi-decade or multi-generation projects, but in reality it only works for vanity projects that are at the epicenter of the leader (and key players) as long as it is perceived as valuable to them.

It also tends to have a strong upstart, only to slow down and crawl to a point lower than democracies when looking at it in the longer span of time. Democracies and its derivatives tend to create a smaller varience between the ups and downs when it stabilizes while dictatorships tend to oscilate (read volatile) more, in part due to internal struggles.
You are welcome. Here is some material describing the grammar in case anyone is interested. http://www.invisiblebooks.com/CGCC.htm
You’re not going to get a return on investment if none of your consumers have enough money to buy anything. A negative return is the market itself telling you that you need to give them money for purchases to even happen.
Whatever Windows did, it was not good enough and way too easy to crash 16 bit Windows from within applications. Yes, I remember now I heard about 286 OS/2. But hardly common, even though cool. I was thinking MINIX which IIRC could use memory separation on 286. (But not on 8088/8086.) Still, you could only use 64 kbyte segments, limiting you data set a lot. You could not do the "large" model of up to half a meg or so you could in DOS.
The more common approach is using a large roof, and after that to build where it is usually cloudy.

> The overwhelming majority are pure imagination, born out of humans' inability to listen to others with different perspectives from their own

Really? How deeply have you looked into this? Usernames follow patterns, entire names with only comments defending China from bad PR, voting happening in bursts, etc. The same thing happens on other sites and the same patterns happen with other areas with well known disinformation and social media teams.

The people bringing attention to things like this gave their reasons. Not only that, this is a thread about Chinese propaganda.

I would love to be shown that I'm off base, there is plenty of information that users don't have to that should make these things pretty obvious. Instead of looking into the extremely suspect patterns here though, you just called my comments 'poison' and 'pure imagination'. If you are going to say that, show me that it's true. Why are so many names in this thread named the same way and only used to counter negative stories about China?
That's particularly frustrating, because effective building techniques for keeping houses cool in hot climates have existed for millennia.
Interesting that "psytrance" is also listed as a subgenre of "psytrance".
An example, near Frankfurt outside the centre the property price is around 5000€ per m^2. 100m^2 for a couple is considered quite confortable, costing around €400k. This means a 25 years mortgage at 1,5% interest rate (atm it could get even better) -> 1600€ monthly repayment, definitely affordable with 5160€.
Anyway, I'm not sure property price is a very good metric for this. Renting in Germany is still relatively cheaper than buying.

I am skeptical that this really gets at the heart of what makes socializing as an introvert different than for an extrovert. Being in a social situation brings some level of anxiety to the table even if everyone is silent and that eventually becomes taxing enough to need to be alone for awhile. Maybe it would take longer to reach that point, but there is nothing wrong with the way interacting with people currently works for an introverted individual.

When did I say that? I said he said in an interview that ideas of another time inspired that particular line. Not that he lived to see such a time or that 1971 was such a time. I wasn't too shocked at your previous reply even if I disagree, but now you are attributing insane comments to me. Slow down. Relax.

I’m not sure how I get your logic? I do think the US bond yields have a large discrepancy versus other developed market yields, but convexity greater increases as yields fall towards zero. So how is that behavior similar to a deep ITM option?

Latency on a loaded connection can be really bad but it won’t be related to how fast you type unless the connection is really slow (like, early dial up modem slow).

When you press a key, it will take a while to see the result. Depending on how things are set up, your computer will either send all subsequent keypresses immediately while you’re waiting, or it will buffer then and then send them all together once you get the reply. Either way, you won’t get this long term buildup.
The problem in urban Texas is that all the asphalt and concrete acts as a stationary heat battery. Counteracting that is a huge part of the problem.

They could use batteries and air conditioning to do so, but it's likely the return on investment would be higher figuring out how to provide more shade even in non residential areas.
This should have a (2018) on it.
I assumed the extra cost was not because of the unrestricted bandwidth (Granted I have Xfinity in Chicago and only pay $15 a month for unlimited on Gigabit)but because of the static IP(s) associated with the service. In addition I would assume that trouble calls are elevated over that of a home user with quicker response times.

Just looking at Biz service vs home and assuming that's because of unlimited bandwidth is 1:1, there's more going on there that's different between the two.
Thanks.

But isn't making a claim that it's plausible that every square inch of office space in every modern city will be managed by WeWork actually doing the opposite of identifying some of the obvious limits to scaling?

I suppose some of this is addressed elsewhere under other sections, and the fact that it's called the Total Addressable Market explains a lot, but it does seem remarkably arbitrary and to be of very little value.
Depends how you measure. Some people like to think things were better when they had money, but there was nothing to buy, instead of the current state of affairs, where they have things to buy, but no money. Add to that that lots of things not measured in money were better, like education, social cohesion etc. and you get lots of people looking back with fond memories conveniently forgetting all the bad things.
Not a terrible argument. Investors are people too. They can be swayed by nice looking things.

the only similarity is that a deep ITM option is an asset that decreases in value in one way while gaining in value in another way, due to the same forces.

a negative yielding bond - or a bond going towards negative yield - decreases in value one way while gaining in a value another way, the more it gains in value the deeper the negative yield goes.

I don't understand reforestation in the sense of plant X amount of trees, and feel good about yourself. Won't this happen naturally at a similar rate if you just leave it alone? I'm pretty sure my yard would be covered in different shrubs and trees within 10 years if I just stopped tending it.

It depends on what country you live in, in the UK at least you have a small state pension and private pensions can be saved on top. These can optionally be used to buy an annuity.

'A few years' seems an understatement for what is reasonably expected to be 20+ years, I'm not sure what difference the healthy modifier brings.

But yes, an annuity wouldn't generally allow you to pass on family wealth. That isn't the dividing line that was being discussed though.

Indeed. This is why Dinorwig (the Welsh power station) is profitable. When electricity is cheap they buy it, and put electricity in and it pumps water up to an artificial lake, when prices rise they stop, and when the price rises still further that's their cue to drop water from the lake back through the system to make electricity for sale.

You can do the maths "Hmm, we need to make £2 per MWh of electricity at least once per day for this business to make sense" and look at price charts and say "Yup, that's feasible, today we will buy any time it's below £30 until we're full and we'll sell any time it's above £35 until we're empty" and make plenty of money. If only conveniently located mountain lakes were more common we'd probably have these everywhere.

The price decisions are tricky though, imagine you decide you should sell for £40 today, and then the wind just doesn't stop blowing at sea and offshore wind turbines (which will sell for any price at any time since their power is basically free) keep the price below £38 all day. You end the day with zero income. Not a game for people with limited capital reserves. Or you decide to buy once it falls below £40 on another day, but then every AC unit in the country is running non-stop and the cloud sit, unmoving but blocking the sun, prices sit above £50 all day. Again no income.

It wasn't built to make a profit, the government built it because it's a Black Start facility, ie it's one way to "boot up" the electricity grid if it fails and you need to start over from no electricity. But now it's privately owned by a French corporation and increasing use of renewables means more minute-by-minute price fluctuations to profit from.

What alternative is there? It seems all brands only sell cheap stuff.

I wonder if Thinkpads really survived this after it was bought by lenovo. Maybe high end Dell laptops are durable? ASUS? System76? Honestly I don't know what brand to choose from, and I think I would prefer not to invest in a new laptop if it's not durable, and keep using desktop PCs.

Having a cap thats equivalent to downloading say, 20 modern AAA games sounds reasonable to you? In the most technologically advanced and wealthy society in human history? In the nation that played perhaps the largest role in pioneering and establishing the Internet? Seriously?
not impossible, but very unlikely for a layman. it's like trying to win a 1v1 against an NBA player.
I've been looking to get a new laptop. I am deciding between a cheaper Thinkpad E series and the more expensive T series, but I don't really want to pay extra for a laptop mediocre battery life and no second battery option, not to mention some of the limitations on these early AMD Lenovo products. The 7nm chip looked interesting because it would likely have better battery life for the same or better performance, and having a graphics uplift would certainly make waiting and getting a "better" laptop more compelling.

However, if it's going to get the essentially same graphics as current chips, maybe I'll get the cheaper model now with an external battery pack and expect to upgrade in 2-3 years when AMD/Lenovo fix some of the other issues (limited memory clocks, no Thunderbolt, thermal caps, etc). And who knows, maybe they'll have an 8-core option by then!

Have these kinds of "leaks" been reliable in the past?

For the people commenting on the Firefox+Linux issue: it doesn't work for me, and this is the error I get:

>Refused to create native OpenGL context because of blacklist entry: FEATURE_FAILURE_OLD_NVIDIA

So the real combination is Old NVIDIA drivers + Linux + Firefox. (Maybe not even Firefox, the issue might be inseparable from my old card. I'm not going to try it on Chromium.) The question is, why is my card blacklisted? I think it might be because of a security vulnerability that Chrome hasn't patched.
It can also serve as a major red flag, when a company adds in a bunch of unnecessary things while excluding things that aren’t required, but are critical, to valuations such as churn rates.

This was a big one in Uber’s filings where it looked like they were probably mixing in Uber Eats to hide flat or declining usage of the actual ride sharing service. Public companies changing how something has been historically reported also raises similar questions. Report the metrics that look amazing, exclude, merge, or mask the stuff that looks bad.
Yes, except that wayland would have been the proper place to expose it, but they declined because it would supposedly compromise security (spoiler: to reach that interface, you must already have arbitrary code execution). So every compositor is now faced with reimplementing that same wheel on their own - each exposing their own interface somehow.
It's such a pernicious and evil socialist/communist tactic of hiding the reality of the matter ... they hire you on a gross income and then you are shown/given a net income to live on, while everything that was taken from you from gross to net is obscured and hidden just like the sales tax is obscured in the form of the VAT you are not shown and most do not think about ... out of sight, out of mind. It's not slavery when you are not chained, right.

It's not all that different than what was done in the USA too, but it never got that bad there.

Instead of having corporations aligned with the ruling class and their government just take out and hide what they take, make people have to send their payments of taxes and other costs to the government every month, and see how things change practically over night.

People in Europe are seriously starting to wake up to the fraud of "socialism" and they have legitimate grievances that no one here would be ok with.

Imagine having to send the government 45% of your paycheck every month so that some "refugee" using three identities and who has three wives and 8 children can live in three free houses and make €250,000 tax free. Or even just having to support the ruling class so their children can have "free" education at the cost of the lower and middle classes, who will then leave the country and work for a Silicon Valley tech company making $200,000+ after the German/European middle and lower classes paid for their "free education". Or even better yet, having to pay all those taxes so that some privileged American student can study for "free" at a European university on the backs of the European middle and lower classes.
There are cooling systems that freeze a tank of water at night when power is cheap and run the A/C system though it during the day. I’m not sure how effective it is though.
Most cubesats have small solar panels and can't image all the time (i.e. they need to charge and then image). Mostly likely there no imaging at all over the oceans so the satellites can charge.
I don't see how that would affect anything. If we assume that most people consume the most data in the evenings (streaming Netflix, etc), no matter the cap, you would see issues if bandwidth was an issue. If I'm downloading ISOs of Linux during the day at 100% everyday while people are at work, big deal, right? But, if everyone is streaming at the same time, if there was going to be an issue, it would happen if caps existed or not because at some point during the month you're going to have nearly all your customers with data to use.
It seems akin to dumping. It's definitely not Wikipedia's goal to suppress telecom markets in Angola, but that could be the effect.

Free stuff distorts markets. It's important to be cognizant of this providing aid.
>Personally, I think it's relatively obvious that data caps on cable internet connections are not related to the cost of service.

They’re related, but there may not be a direct 1:1 correspondence. Offering unlimited anything at a fixed price is a terrible idea for any company because there will be at least a few outliers that throw their modeling out the window, and there is ample precedent for ill-advised promotions bankrupting companies (see the Hoover flight article that was on the front page a while ago).

The issue isn’t with the existence of data caps, it’s with the laws that allow nominally unlimited things to be actually limited and the lack of competition that might produce the kinds of promotion you’ve suggested in the fight for market share.
