I recently asked a tax advisor a similar question: if I do a cashless exercise sale for $5 when the FMV is $6 and my strike price is $2, can I pay income tax only on the $5 sale price? The answer was no: I would owe income at the $6 price and then immediately accrue capital losses on the $1 spread between sale and FMV.

I guess that's a longwinded way of saying "I doubt it". Tax law around employee options is brutal. :/

Ads have effectively disappeared for a number of years now for those who use a sensible approach to ad blocking (i.e. a combination of ingress blocking, DNS blacklists and browser-based blocking). This could change if content providers start using different approaches to ad insertion - e.g. video ads merged into the original content, ads as part of original page content - but even those avenues will be neutered within not too long. It probably makes sense for ad purveyors to not fret too much over ad blocking users since these users often react negatively to advertising and as such are better left alone.
> This is huge. Not only are micro reactors far more economical

No, they aren't. They are more expensive per unit of power produced, by far bigger than any other powerplant in practical use.

The only way I see nuclear getting economical is it getting bigger. Nuclear's biggest advantage after the cost of fuel is its huuuuuuge power density, and power scalability. With currently technology level, it's possible to generate multiple gigawatts from a single reactor.

> it dramatically reduces the need to maintain a massive nationwide grid

It would not. Grid maintenance are quite non-linear, and high voltage lines are actually much cheaper per unit of electricity transferred than residential links.

Very high voltage DC transfer is very economical, efficient enough for intercontinental connections, but very expensive.
I’m not saying it’s a placebo effect. Instead there could be unknown interactions between Vitamin D and HCQ/Az that could be the causal effect.

It's an old-school enterprise CMS. And a crummy one. It's done a pretty remarkable job of staying relevant all things considered. The current market leader in this space is Adobe who own AEM and bought Omniture years ago so they can offer analytics and A/B testing in one bill of sale. Episerver must be working to position themselves the same way.

These comments are bizarre. This topic has been discussed ad nauseam in hacker news for many years. The discussion on here was justifiably more extensive and explained more deeply than anywhere else. People on hacker news have used Google services for 15+ years. They’ve built businesses around Google’s platform. They’ve built businesses which compete with Google. They’ve seen Google do things which dismantled other businesses so that Google could earn some incremental revenue in order to continue to pay their executives and employees wildly bloated salaries (e.g. Anthony Levandowski paid over $100m; that’s insane.)

Google has a lot of deep problems. They managed to kick the US regulatory can down the road over and over again. Now they have to deal with it. All but 1 state AG was on board for this. They were very cozy with the Obama White House so there is very good justification for this to happen now.

Luckily, in places like here in the EU, when watching Dutch TV, I don't see prices that I'd expect in Germany. When someone buys my goods from Germany, I might pay German VAT or they might pay Netherlands VAT. It depends. Point is, I don't have to think about taxes, the business handles it.

But here's the other kicker. The Netherlands VAT is ~21%, the German VAT is/was 19%. It's a pretty simple difference that's basically negligible.

In Kentucky, sales tax is 6%, but in Ohio it's 5.75%, not that big of a difference. Oh wait, in Ohio it's 0% going through the drive thru. In Tennessee, sometimes there's no sales tax on clothing.

Tax is a political tool in the US, not so much elsewhere.

SpaceX hops a full-scale Starship prototype for the second time
From Wikipedia: "Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit". I looked around a bit to see if this is a contentious definition, but other definitions I found shared the key bit about private ownership of the means of production. If a private entity owns the means of production, why wouldn't that entity attempt to maximize its share?
I tried taking some Vitamin D alone, and I rapidly got a very uncomfortable sensitivity in my teeth. I thought maybe this has something to do with what it does to calcium.

So I tried a combination calcium + Vitamin D capsule, and it didn't seem to have the same effect.

Maybe the second one is safe, but I'm wondering what was going on and if there are potential drawbacks to either one.

I'm very impressed by that output. It will make a difference with areas of high solar and wind generation, which can't maintain a sustained high duty cycle.

I expect these types of reactors to be in places to augment solar and wind, not replace it.

The bit about attitudes towards shared payments is fascinating. I wonder if this is truly attitude or just lack of choice.

Are there any concrete examples of existing systems where people choose to pay more when the alternatives are significantly cheaper but pricing is shared?

Hypothetical example scenario: Someone would choose to pay $10 for their own water instead of $2.50 (on average, with minor fluctuations), in order to avoid subsidizing other tenants' water usage. The difference in cost could be attributed to the maintenance burden of many monitoring devices. I have a hard time believing anyone would choose the more expensive option.
The better the idea, the more obvious it was in hindsight.
That's a false dichotomy. I wouldn't recommend that either. But the media treatment of covid, specifically with regard to treatment with hydroxychloroquine is biased and completely out of touch with how medical experts consider it. If you've been getting for information from the media on that topic you almost certainly have the mistaken impression that it is not effective nor in wide use. The reality might surprise you.

I think they just want Trump to be wrong so badly that they're blind to the alternative. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

The media in general is a shadow of what it once was. Good journalism is very nearly dead. That has serious repercussions for both society and democracy.

When I first went from CT as an implementation detail of typed FP to studying CT on its own, I was very aggravated by this point: "where is there a functor that isn’t an endofunctor?"

Over time it has fallen away in two directions.

In one direction is that though you are always stuck in a category with types as objects and functions as arrows, that doesn't stop you from subdividing. This became more intuitive to me as I encountered more and more categories that are basically just Set with extra structure (just as the one we program in is basically Set with bottom). If you start putting extra structure on your arrows (that is something that carries around a function along with some extra proof-relevant structures, like say a way to show that some zero element in the domain under the function equals the zero element in the codomain and that multiplication is preserved under the function, now you have monoid-homomorphisms) then you end up in the general case with something that looks a lot like a binatural transformation of profunctors, which pretty cleanly encodes "exo"-functors between different sub-categories of the category with all types as objects and functions as arrows.

In the other direction is realizing that even imprecisely, there's quantifiable value in observing functors to and from the category of types and functions, say one between whiteboard diagrams and code, or between a specific problem domain and code, etc etc. If you have some other space with composable relationships that you want to preserve when you write code to correspond to it, or you have some other representation you want to produce based off some given codebase while preserving the structure of the code taken as input, you can gain a ton of conceptual leverage out of identifying a functor.
Salt water might add to your corrosion issues. Also, physical security of nuclear reactors is a big deal. Now you need a navy to do it.
If you build one of these things don't you also need to build an impervious shell around them so they can't be attacked? I have read that the existing reactors can withstand air crash impacts, etc.
It would probably be much more ideal to have peers send messages to each other directly & only use the server for store + forward if the send fails.
When you send someone a message, you upload the encrypted message to the server addressed for them. The user checks in with the server asking "any messages for me?" The server then delivers the message and deletes its cache of messages.

The server "stores" the message for that period of time when the user uploaded it and before the receiver confirmed the download. Allegedly, it stores it in the encrypted form as its advertised as end to end so they would not have the key to decrypt it.

> [0] economic warfare may reflect economic policy followed as a part of open or covert operations, cyber operations, information operations during or preceding a war.

If you think people engaged in the above activities aren't engaged in a crime, then there's no point in carrying this discussion further.

Thank you, that's helpful, and I recognise a lot of the pain points and pluses there.

I started with Doom, loved it, but wanted to understand Emacs better so ended up writing my own config.

I now understand Emacs a _little_ more, I know what every line of my config is doing, and there isn't an extra layer of abstraction or opaque bash commands I have to periodically run. I also feel more comfortable that Emacs with a home-grown config will last me 10+ years. It's incredible what Henrik has achieved and the level of dedication and support is astounding, but I wonder how sustainable it is as the community inevitably grows.

Rolling my own setup has certainly made me appreciate Doom a whole lot more, though. And it's hard to shake the feeling that I could spend a year or two just hacking on Emacs to get half of what Doom offers.

It's like the trap of wanting to get into game programming and finding yourself writing a game engine instead of a game. (I picked up Emacs to learn Clojure and other Lisp dialects better.)

It's also a little silly to have an expectation that I need to understand everything that Doom does behind the scenes. I don't have that expectation with Emacs itself, or with IntelliJ or vim, or VS Code…

Maybe the answer is to just read the (smallish) Doom codebase to understand it better and contribute however I can, be it in Discord, with cash, or PRs. And get back to hacking instead of hacking Emacs…

I guess it would be interesting to see how those numbers interacted graphically.

Or should people with significantly above average muscle mass be using a different scale instead?
I think skin color is most likely correlated, without being the cause.

Populations with lighter skin colors tend to live at higher lattitudes, where there is less sun. Inherited genes probably compensate for this, while also transmitting the paler/darker skin allele.

No one said Corbyn himself was anti-Semitic - just that there was anti-Semitism within the Labour Party, and it wasn’t dealt with sufficiently during his tenure as leader.

It’s not unreasonable to hold a leader somewhat responsible - it’s not like Trump isn’t criticised (rightly) for things done by other people on his watch.
No, you're not missing anything. The point is just that it's not a vice of mathematically assured doom because of the fact that money is debt. Banking can be a really good business and bankers have been really good at lobbying, but that is not what the Money as Debt scare is about.

In the end, debt is a type of relation between people. And banking is a business with its own costs and risks.

>their actions can legally incur liability on the company

Of course. I agree 100% on this point. I'm just skeptical when articles like this frame the issue as this being some evil plan by Apple to not pay their employees. Apple treats their employees better than 99% of the companies out there (Gravity Payments is an obvious exclusion for me) and, while they're not perfect, it's obvious to me that this article is just banking on anti-Apple sentiment. The reality is far more boring and I feel like this went to a class-action suit too quickly. If higher-ups at Apple had been notified that this was happening, I feel like they would have made it right (at least based on my experience).
