The time still isn't liquid, though. Yes, if you worked for someone for a year, you've given them $X (where $X is the paycut you took), but the founder can't just turn around and sell that $X to someone else. To the extent that they can, it's (to some extent) because the founder was able to take your time and turn it into something valuable, which is like, what founders/CEOs are supposed to do. At that point these is some sense in which the founder has also "earned" the liquidity.

With a direct cash infusion there's none of that. Any idiot can immediately sell $10M for $10M.

That's a very different situation though.

This is as if you went to the library and the librarian only showed you other books by that author and the books that might be (poorly) related to the one you just read.

Like books with similar words in the title or books that people grabbed after that one.

I’ve started leaving my phone at home when I walk my dog to get coffee every morning. The first few days, maybe even weeks, it was actually pretty uncomfortable.

The only major downside is when I think of something I want to write down or look up.

Yup, that's the reason I've turned down all startup offers so far and some of them offered 2-3%. They like to hand wave about how much these 50,000 shares are going to cost or how rich I'm surely going to be even after dilution of these 2-3%, but when I tell them point blank that with my current compensation, over the course of 4 years I'm going to lose at least $1M, and ask them what I would get for a $1M investment, they suddenly struggle to find words. The reality is that, once you reach this level of miniature wealth and competence (and that happens quickly), the only next step is to start your own company. Startups don't really see employees as partners.
No the sources are from CIA and FBI agents trained in interrogation and spotting lies (and wanting to sell their books, like researchers want their research read). One of the agents used these signs to know that Timothy McVeigh was lying. They also give a counter to your hand-pick: Observe the person when they are not lying/natural environment, note any ticks, and discount these when interrogating.

Place your lead hand thumb on your cheek and two fingers on your chin and imagine you are talking to someone standing one meter from you. Do you feel sincere?

There is plenty of research that show that lie detection is not all bunkum, and that techniques such as cognitive overloading help catch lies and lower defenses (which need focus and don't come naturally to most people).

The underlying root cause of the problem is that left to its own devices any productive monetary system always generates fewer jobs than there are people that want them. That should be obvious - people have to work to live no matter what, but business only needs to hire if there is a profit to be made. That power asymmetry reflects in the system we have.

What you need is a market maker for labour hours that has to buy the hours of people at the living wage from anybody who offers them. If the central bank did that, rather than trying to prop up circulation by pushing loans onto people via interest rate targeting, then we may be able to let free markets do their thing. (Any business that doesn't like central banks buying hours need only make a superior bid to stop it).

We run society at the core by exchanging labour hours with each other. If you are to use your finite time on this planet to produce A to surplus (rather than just stopping work on Tuesday when you've made enough A for yourself and your suppliers), then I need to give up my finite time on this planet in exchange for A - and hopefully produce a B with the time that you consider at least appropriate use of that time to continue the exchange.

We have to set something like that up - presuming always we don't want to go down the road of entertaining philosophies that 'trim the excess population'.
I think time is quite liquid. Let's say I get 500k/year on my current job and someone asks me to join his company for peanuts, but with a good chunk of stock. We could calculate the difference between 500k and peanuts and say that instead of joining that company, I'd pay him this difference every year. That difference would be enough to hire a small team for a small salary, but with stock options. The problem that most founders have is the unspoken refusal to accept that my time is worth this much.
We've learned that better tools doesn't actually create more productivity. Lots of people talk about how they dread email. A singular mega tool like Facebook or Evernote isn't great. Lots of disparate little tools isn't much better.

We've learned that data is unreliable. The highest click through rates come from nudity, or totally gross things like gore and trypophobia triggering holes.

IOT doesn't scale as well as we thought, because hardware doesn't scale at the rate of web software that we're used to. So hardware companies do more poorly than expected. Replace "hardware" with anything else that's hard to upgrade, and you get software-other hybrids like Uber and WeWork which didn't scale as well as anticipated.

This discussion and the original post has been what the United States government’s trade policy ought to be, not the morality of an individual’s purchasing choice (say, to buy a Chinese-made sweater or a US-made one).

Actually, there is a legal requirement like that. Businesses that hire h1b visa recipients must file an LCA with the USDOL, that essentially states it has looked and cannot find an equally qualified US Citizen for the position that is seeking the visa. The original 'ruse' the H1B visa was to address was the supposed shortage of qualified engineers in technical professions. The only shortage that ever existed was of low-paid professionals. One simply has to look on one of the online job boards to see how the system is gamed. Many positions require quite a mix of programming languages, frameworks and knowledge up and down the stack.
For example:

Separate the power system -> people's perception about Texas independence increases -> time passes -> let's separate something new, after all we're Texas, we get special treatment. Perception intertwined with action, so that you can't tell what comes first.

Reflexivity is by no means restricted to securities markets. It's an incredibly broadly applicable concept.

Also, in securities markets it's not just that price goes up so more people buy because the price has gone up, so price goes up even more. It's far far worse than that. It's that (for example) stock prices go up, therefore consumer/executive/banks confidence increases, therefore more credit and more spending in the economy, therefore higher corporate profits, therefore higher stock prices. The point is that it affects reality beyond just the securities markets, it affects the "fundamentals" too. I.e. you can't even trust something like a P/E ratio.
We need to stop using antibiotics until we have a better understanding of the microbiome.
This phenomenon arises from the way that TV shows are produced. The creators write ~6 episodes to showcase the concept and the funding/production decision is made based on these 6 episodes. So the shows are engineered for maximum drama during these 6 episodes, and the rest of the show’s run is trying to maintain a 100 meter sprint pace for sometimes up to 10 years.

This is particularly bad for “conspiracy” type shows where the protagonist uncovered some massive conspiracy in the first six episodes. The rest of the show usually ends up escalating the conspiracy to the massively absurd. “Oh this goes way above the President... it’s a shadowy cabal with an underground lair in Biarritz that is manipulating the entire world for... reasons.”

>> Even folks who are not “foodie” in this definition given the opportunity to try new foods, they will.

Not to be argumentative, but I fail to understand how you think this applies to everyone. For example, recently me and some friends were looking for a place to eat. Search turned up an Ethiopian restaurant that sounded interesting (none of us had any familiarity w/ the cuisine). Most of the group wanted to go to try it, but one friend flatly refused- he would rather just go to a chain place. Which is fine, not everyone enjoys trying new things and would prefer comfort foods.

Me and another of the group ended up going to the Ethiopian place later, and while it was excellent if we had drug the reluctant friend along it wouldn't have been fun for him (no silverware, just the flatbread).

I get that you find the term irratating, as I think it is almost as annoying as 'maker', but foodie connotes more than just 'someone who enjoys food'. Foodie describes someone who makes a partial hobby out of the act of consuming food. I hate the term b/c English already has an appropriated term that describes this better- gourmand. There is a difference between enjoying eating and being discerning about what one eats and being able to critique what is wrong/right with a dish.

It is correct if you care about what people mean when they use a given word.

An older meaning that has fallen out of primary use isn't very helpful in understanding what people are saying today. Etymology != current usage.
No, but programming languages exist in English, which is used by more than 15 people.

Esperanto is a very interesting language but it will never be more than a plaything, a linguistic experiment, or a framework for people to learn a language that actually gets spoken by people.
> Not to mention that the units don't carry over from one vendor to another.

Who cares about the units? When was the last time you used a vendor-provided utility to configure a Network Interface Card, instead of just using ifconfig (if you're on BSD)? On OpenBSD, there's also bioctl for RAID management, too — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioctl. And sysctl hw.sensors for temperature sensors and more.

How's brightness any different? It's a percentage value from 0 to 100%. Would the user really care how many internal settings a given machine has, and that 100% is really just 16 internally?

It’s driven by two things - by the public perception that all bad guys fly coach (a la 911) and by governments seeking to expand the number of biometric means to enforce compliance of all sorts of things unrelated to travel. The irony is that many people who oppose a physical border wall on humanitarian grounds don’t seem to see the perils of virtual walls...such as when a visited country decides to share back my fingerprints it collected at the border with my home country despite legal protections against collecting my fingerprints when I’m inside/entering the home country OR any number of other applications that have nothing to do with border protection or everyday travel... unlike a physical barrier that can do nothing but it’s intended purpose. Sorry don’t mean to make this about borders but I’m trying to make a point that sometimes we use tech we end up creating entire new classes of problems worse than Ones we were trying to avoid... maybe the Amish have it right in this regard?

> Person B risked nothing.

They risked the single thing that absolutely no one, anywhere on the planet, can ever give them back: time.

Yes, they took a lower salary on the risk that it would pay off but they slid in the chips of their days existing on this planet alongside that risk. If no one was willing to take that risk alongside the venture capitalists who only invest easily-replenished money, the VCs would find their investments significantly restricted.

The problem is that the some of the people taking a risk and making investment, often the ones in the worst position, have far less information than others. It is inherently unfair that one "investor" can be worse off than another, especially when stacking up money against time. As the author wrote, this isn't inherently unfair...as long as it's not hidden.

But it's almost always hidden because the "lottery ticket hope" of turning 1% equity into seven figures is spoken of as being a regular amount of risk when, in reality, you'd be better taking that higher salary at a FMANGUNFXZOR company and putting the difference into actual lottery tickets.

(As an addendum, if anyone is about to reply with the words "rational actor" anywhere in it, I'm not moved by that rebuttal. Human beings are not rational all of the time and we are nowhere near as rational as economic textbooks would have you believe. Yet, somehow, that rationality or lack thereof is only called into question whenever the person in the crappier position with less leverage is the one who loses.)

The "generic" one is necessarily a UI to the device, not the actual device, because there's always some kind of special casing or variation in an abstract property like that. Having the UI is of benefit when it serves as a building block, but not if it cuts off customization for some task.
Actually, ME was the result of a development disaster similar to the one which resulted in Vista.

Microsoft was planning on building an entirely new Internet-focused consumer version of NT. It was too ambitious for its time, so to meet deadlines, most of it was scrapped and some UI elements were backported into an updated Windows 98 which became ME. This is why Explorer for both ME and 2000 look similar despite having little else in common.

Other elements of the scrapped project made its way into XP, but barely compared to what it was supposed to be. I think XP’s fancy login screen was one of them.

If anyone’s interested I’ll try to find where I read all of this. It might’ve been on Paul Thurrott’s Windows Supersite or another site that collected Windows betas.

>'Being a foodie isn’t about liking to eat, foodie is about enjoying different cuisines and having a discerning taste."

Discerning taste? In other words conspicuous consumption. Foodies seek out whatever the hype is.

It's always interesting to me how self-described foodies seems to know very little about actual food. Ask a foodie to name their favorite recipes, about braising vs poaching, making a pan sauce, when blueberries are in season and they will likely not have much to say. Being a "foodie" is just a byword for consumerism. It's neither a skill or a hobby. It's just eating out.

Most California cities need their own grids... reliance on PG&E and SCE is a recipe for failure. I'm currently in Paradise and have the generator out ready for yet another random PSPS that will accomplish nothing but lose business for struggling companies and put a hardship on sick and poor people.
