I think you have misunderstood me. The parent said that in poorer countries they may have to kill sheep when they are young if there is not enough grass to feed them on in the winter. But we do not have the problem of a lack of animal food in the USA. We eat young sheep ("lamb") simply because they are considered to taste better. It is not due to material lack of animal feed.
Depends who you ask. For most people in the world, even 60km-80km will be more than enough.
It's because it's not unless you're wildly outspending your limits. Having personally done it, living in Brooklyn was fine around 90k right in Carroll Gardens a pretty nice area with a 1 bedroom. Living in Manhattan was fine at about 120k and very easy when I was making about 150k. I have high student loan debt too. I haven't lived in a non luxury type building for years now at this point and only had a flat-mate once by choice while being able to save thousands a month. The narrative of the poor struggling highly paid engineer doesn't really jive with me.

I moved to Jersey City last year to have cheaper rent but I did that because I don't care for NYC much and am migrating out in general but it wasn't like I was struggling as an individual engineer before hand.
Interesting thought. We're a private company, so the stock is still illiquid. That wouldn't prevent purchasing stock, but the question is where it would come from. Option pools are used for new employee grants so that could work, but when that runs out you need to typically create additional shares and dilute the other holders. Will put a little more thought into this.
While I agree with you broadly, Tesla loses money on its car business. It was profitable for a full year because of the money it makes from selling carbon credits. That’s not exactly a federal subsidy but it’s not making cars either. So I feel like going at this all angry complaining about imprecision or a lack of focus on details comes off ironic.

"Time average" and "ensemble average" are standard vocabulary in the statistical mechanics literature. Your comment is essentially a restatement of the article's point.

I think it's uncharitable to say the article would be easier to understand if it didn't use the language of ergodicity. Its explicit goal is to show how non-ergodicity leads to an example like yours.

So of course your comment seems easier to understand. But that's because you're just saying different distributions can be parameterized by the same mean. Ergodicity is about a lot more than that, and the language of ergodicity was the entire exercise here.
The US Supreme Court just recently struck this down in a first amendment case, where a university said “Hey, we changed the rules, you now have no standing to sue.” The Supreme Court said “There was still damage, so they still have a cause of action.”

I guess it would depend how you structure the purchases. If you allow for the purchasing of a common share at the 409 valuation, you wouldn't have a tax hit until you sell it. You would be taxed on the salary used to purchase the share, however.

The courts may say there's nothing sinister about it; that doesn't preclude me from saying so.

* Tax avoidance by regular people is overwhelmingly accomplished by doing things that tax law subsidizes because we think they're good - home ownership, saving for retirement, etc. Wealthy people and megacorps tend to avoid tax by moving revenue between countries, leveraging campaign donations to effect beneficial changes to the law, and dragging out tax cases to reach settlements.

* Giant corporations can and do avoid the entirety of their tax burden, but this option is not open to regular wage-earners, because an ad campaign for shoes is considered to be an "investment" and a parent feeding their children is not. Even in the best case (if we pretend that all of the activities used by megacorps to avoid tax are "good" in the sense of contributing to GDP) this has the effect of increasing the tax burden on individuals, because no matter how much Nike contributes to GDP it will never fix a pothole or build a fire station.

* Your complaint about misdirected anger (people being mad at Nike rather than the legislature) is at best a nitpick (most people understand this and are just speaking lazily) and at worst outright false (in that the main reason megacorps pay so little tax is because of lobbying and aggressive legal action by those same megacorps).

Bottom line is that these (tax avoidance by regular wage-earners like the one in the case you cited, and tax avoidance by Nike, Amazon, et al) are not equivalent, and conflating them can serve no purpose other than to justify the sins of the latter with the virtues of the former.

I'm not aware of any tax advantages of equity compensation in the US versus cash compensation. If anything, it could be a liability in the case that it's not actively traded, or if you trigger AMT and aren't able to sell the stock to pay the taxes.

The type of compensation that comes with tax benefits is things such as subsidized health insurance, 401k retirement savings, commuter benefits, dependent care expenses, tuition, etc. That type of stuff is basically non taxed income.

Yes, I understood that. I just assume that young people today are no different from young people 25 years ago, other than maybe having the (dis)advantage of preexisting knowledge of today's computing. Which may be the parent's point, I guess?
This is just it. I also work in the security industry, and the fact of the matter is that we (security professionals) can't give guarantees. I don't know what exotic exploit or bug will exist tomorrow. Security professions basically offer what (to me) seems like a crappy insurance policy. Depending on your orgs threat model, it is often just cheaper to deal with the breaches. --- I am not saying facebook falls into this category. ---

Also: there's the Manhattan people typically think of, and then the reality that it's a large island with a wide variety of housing. Most folks who aren't from NYC think don't realise that world continues past 110th st (or, let's be honest, past 86th).

A large part of the problem is about differing time horizons, and the fact that low quality is always slower on the long term. So, it's not ok to just say "we don't need quality, we need speed", because quality will imply on reduced speed sooner or later.

On the best places, a lot of the communication problems come from the fact that managers tend to willfully ignore the fact that low quality is a losing proposition at the long term, and developers tend to willfully ignore the fact that short term only gains have value.

On the worst places, communication problems tend to come from the fact that management wants to artificially prop the numbers before they get a way to jump ship, defrauding everybody else, so they simply can not be honest.
I just meant the people saying it is crazy to allow anons to do something to run CI vs the people saying it is crazy to make me look at a PR before CI has blessed it. The prior assessment of value to an anon PR is -1 for the former, Cathedral folks, and +1 for the latter, Bazaar folks. I don’t know if FSF even now has CI but I think you have to sign paper work of copyright assignment before they consider your PR, more or less. While rando GitHub repos will take even my PRs.

If I could wave my wand no build or deploys would need to talk to the internet. We want that all to be deterministic and based on resources we control. But that battle is lost. But white listing software depos and so on seems winnable still.

It also mirrors the “unit tests / CI should be self-contained with network deps mocked” vs “it isn’t tested till it is integration tested” debate. The mock/unit test folks don’t need the network access in CI. Even the clever integration testers can spin up a DB and a local Hadoop cluster during the tests. Only the busy, harried integration testers need the real system to test against during CI. (Disclaimer I have written tests of all three kinds).

I'd say EV are making inroads there exactly because of no infrastructure, and tech.

In Vietnam, people choose electric scooters over petrol largely because their maintainance free nature, and no need for fluids, or waiting at petrol pumps.

People like that they don't risk expensive, and lengthy breadown of their scooter when their job depend on it.

@yesco is right that practice is all over the place for IPv6 if it works at all. But in general, IPv6 as a protocol is just fine, at least equally secure as IPv4 and not more complex than IPv4 in many practical cases. I would even go so far to say it is way easier to do a clean address plan with IPv6. Usually, IPv6 inbound access is blocked by default on the ISP routers firewall.

In practical networks, IPv4 tends to be set up in some way and usually seems to work correctly - until you discover all the atrocious hacks people have commited over the ~ 25 years of practical, widespread use. Quite often multiple levels of NAT without much reason for it, UPnP where it shouldn't be, payment for even single IP addresses (great, we are paying for numbers other people got basically for free) and more - IPv4 are often handled like pets. Compared to IPv6, it is much harder to do a simple split into security groups based on prefix with IPv4. (In IPv6, you can usually just give every broadcast domain a /64 and will not do a huge mistake - they are a single security group. Sometimes, you might want to hand out a /64 or even shorter prefix to every client though.)

There are some great resources for modern and practical IPv6 too: https://knihy.nic.cz/#IPv6-2019 (4th edition in Czech by Pavel Satrapa, but can be translated using Google Translate and is more or less ok as a translation: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10CRjSRBLcdqtGjJgaW5Sct5h...) there are older books in English that are also mostly relevant still. The free IPv6 course by RIPE NCC is also a good way to get up to speed and avoid (spreading) FUD.
Look at it the other way round: they could reduce losses from 6% to 4%, which lead further savings in needing less cooling tech.

Successful societies do exactly that. It's called taxes.

As for what a realistic bet would look like (you're founding a startup or something), I believe the expectation is often not much greater than 1, so one does not simply found 100 startups and distribute the income of the 5 successful ones to everyone else. (And even if it is, the people capable of founding startups often have steadier, though less impressive, means of increasing their wealth. Startups are often founded for reasons other than wealth, after all.)

I really wish it could do USB passthrough. I need that for home automation to run in a VM under TrueNAS. The solution I've been running for a few years now is to have TrueNAS and Home Assistant running under VMWare ESX. Required getting an HBA that I could pass through to the VM instead of using the ports on the mobo but it works nicely.

Having Home Assistant as a guest under TrueNAS would be nicer though. Right now there's no data redundancy for Home Assistant.

Looking at the Julia code, I think what he is doing wrong is making all wins worth $.50 and all losses worth $.40, but the bet computes a win or loss based on your current wealth, not your starting wealth.

I wouldn't own anything else to be honest. I've always driven one, and I also work professionally with a fleet of them and I don't have any problems at all. My last personal one never needed any work at all over ten years. Even if they were unreliable, if it's the kind of form factor you're after I don't think anything really challenges them on the market.

I think they're also a uniquely egalitarian vehicle - if you see someone driving a Land Rover it could be a farmer, a teenager in their first car, a parent doing the school run, an Army unit on exercise, a professional footballer, literally the Queen, or anything in between. You can drive the same car to the rubbish dump and to Royal Ascot and it looks completely appropriate in both cases! I don't think there's any other vehicle even remotely like that.
