Oh, in Swedish they're both called heat pumps, i didn't realize there was such a distinction in the English language between the two systems.

In my mind they're just different kinds of heat pumps.

And yeah, drilling is pretty expensive, but once the system is installed, heating is ridiculously cheap. When my parents installed geothermal, ROI was estimated to about 5 years for their house iirc.

But then it may well be that drilling is cheaper here by virtue of being more common, idk.

There should be some sort of vesting schedule. If you really don't think a standard one is fair, It doesn't have to be over 4 years. It is also normal to have events that accelerate vesting (like an Acquisition) which in yours case could be the delivery of an MVP.

Also if your co-founder thats doing sales can't close without a product, you should get someone who can that is a very bad sign.

Because health is a limited resource. It might not be apparent to you now, because you are still able to put in the long hours "as a young professional", but at some point things inside you will break and if you don't give them time to heal, they will never go back to their original quality.

If overwork is mandated by your culture, you will not find the time to heal, thereby starting a downward spiral. And with so much competition, there will be only few winners and lots of losers. If you lose, the sacrifice of your health will have no benefits and there is no way to get it back.

Life is not about work. Life is about living. And health is essential for living.

Yeah. If nothing more subtle is possible, they can always take a round that dilutes the heck out of everyone's stake and have an agreement in place to 'make whole' some of the current team with extra stock grants or options.
There's a potential subset of people who don't know who Richard Feynman is, but might recognise a segment of one his lectures from the movie theatre puzzle in The Witness (the 2016 video game by Jonathan Blow).

Except I was wrong... sorry. I haven't been able to find documentation that lazy ELF symbol binding is disabled when taking the address of an extern fuction, but using objdump to dump the .plt section, it's clear printf is no longer lazily bound when you need to take its address. Instead, the entry is marked to be resolved at load time, and the global function entry point is just read directly from the GOT entry.

Part of my assumption that the PLT entry was used as the function address came from trying to figure out why the AMD engineers didn't include an ip-relative indirect addressing mode for the call instruction when they designed x86_64. An ip-relative indirect call could directly call through the GOT and avoid wasting an instruction cache line on the PLT entry. The PLT entry would still be used once for lazy symbol binding, but after that wouldn't be used and wouldn't cause any more cache evictions. Such an indirect call would need to be broken down into several micro-ops internally, but would save instruction cache space.

I did a bit of thinking and came to the conclusion that the PLT entry was still necessary for taking the function address of a lazily bound ELF symbol, so such an addressing mode would almost never be used.

Now that I see the PLT entry is actually never used for taking the function address, I'm a bit surprised that AMD when designing long mode (x86_64) didn't include an ip-relative indirect addressing mode for the call instruction.
I'm just a mechanical engineer by training who's way too much self-taught about software, so I'm sure the AMD hardware engineers (and maybe also RISC-V folks... I'm less familiar with RISC-V addressing) had very good reasons for not having ip-relative indirect function calls. My best guess is that the complexity increase wasn't worth it and/or there was some hidden performance cost that's not obvious to me.
For me, this would be a point where I would fully rely on the experts for deciding how to implement that step and check if the plan is feasible. I don't recommend executing such ideas without syncing with authorities and experts.

That shouldn't stop us from brain storming, though, and allow experts to decide, if it's an interesting idea or stupid.

Don't knock the baking soda volcano. I made one with my son when he was about 7 or 8. There's a little engineering that goes into constructing the paper mache structure. A little art in painting it to look realistic. Some chemistry in understanding the release of carbon dioxide from acid-base reactions. Then there's the filming/presentation of the project, for a little media savvy.

+1 if you can get your hands on some ammonium dichromate for an even more impressive, but more dangerous demonstration.

These types of "experiments" are less about teaching science, and more about impassioning a love and interest for science.
I can't stand dreamy pretentious bullshit like this. The fMRI result is cool but when the author gets to talking about extending the result to EEG and neuralink (vomit) he's just making shit up about things he clearly knows nothing about. The great thing about sci-fi is the fiction. You can dream up cool shit you can do with warp drives and that's all well and good because warp drives don't exist. But when you write about shit that is real but you don't understand - that's just tech-bro clickbait hopium.

'Computers will be able to read images from your brain within a decade'. Bullshit. The state of the art in functional imaging is genetically encoded fluorescent sensors with 2 photon imaging. That's not happening in humans. And there's no reason to think fMRI is going to get cheaper or more portable (it might get slightly faster though, with varinf powered inference). And EEG and ephys are obviously unviable for recording from the large numbers of neurons needed to do what the author is talking about.

The cold is a massive killer.

One would expect this is from staying in a warm house rather than walking to a car everyday, not general stress.
Funny story about this. When I was a kid we had the whole "design a science experiment" in our science class. My dad was an electrical engineer, so I did an experiment with connecting up a clock through resistors to drain batteries more quickly than normal to test which batteries lasted longest (IIRC, I think the Walgreens brand ended up being best).

When I went to my teacher with the experiment, she laughed at me and told me it was absurd, because batteries wouldn't drain that quickly; she was really quite rude and aggressive about it. I'm still not sure what she was thinking; I had to contradict her multiple times and say that my Dad was an electrical engineer several times; she was still skeptical.

I learned while young that people in positions of authority, even when nominally "credentialed" in science, are often completely incompetent, not curious, not open-minded, and are instead arrogant and patronizing. She thought she knew what the answer was and she hadn't seen it before, so she just ridiculed me. This was in one of the best school systems in the country, in one of the best schools in that district.
I'm a non-native speaker and have been succesfully using Talon in an open-office environment with a $20 mic - just to offer a different point of view. I've been using it for coding, not so much dictation so YMMV, but expensive mics, library environments or American news anchor accents are absolutely not required.
Built in America by the same people who would have been building it elsewhere. If US workers could be hired for those jobs they could just skip the H1b part and hire domestically in the first place. And I think you are hugely underestimating the effect on salaries. But as for bigger market benefits to domestic workers, this requires H1b's to not be handed out fast enough to keep up with the growth of the market (which I think is finally happening recently, hence the big salaries in SV). But this is the same supply and demand effect we would have gotten without the H1b program in the first place.

> Or can. A lot of schools are happy to admit almost anyone, but will have 1/3 of incoming freshmen transfer to other majors after a year.

Definitely agree about this part though. A big reason some countries can achieve higher number of grads or better ratios of one kind or another, is with a dumbed-down program that requires mostly memorization and teaches nothing in depth.

I'm not sure how many states this applies to, but at least in California (the largest state where it's legal), it is not legal to sell cannabis look-a-likes like these. As far as I know, most states where it's legal have very stringent laws on what is allowed on cannabis product packaging, especially to prevent it from being marketed to children.

Heres a video from San Francisco: virtualvacation.us/videarth?788
It is not possible to randomly select an integer from the set of integers (a countably infinite set) with uniform distribution. The reason is that there is no uniform probability distribution on the set of integers. So how do we correctly express what you have intuitively arrived at? (By the way, the note that the result you have arrived at is incorrect but we will get to that later.)

Define set A = {x : x ∈ ℤ and -n <= x < n}. Now it is possible to define a uniform probability distribution over this set A. Let the probability of any integer chosen from this set be 1/(2n). The set A has n even integers and n odd integers. Let a and b two integers chosen randomly from this set. The probability of a being even is 0.5, i.e., P(a is even) = 0.5. Likewise for b, i.e., P(b is even) = 0.5.

Now a + b is even if and only if either a and b are both even or a and b are both odd. The probability that a and b are both even is P(a is even) * P(b is even) = 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25. Similarly, the probability that a and b are both odd is P(a is odd) * P(b is odd) = 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25. Thus, the probability that a + b is even is P((a + b) is even) = 0.25 + 0.25 = 0.5.

Since the result does not depend on the value of n, we can now claim that lim n→∞ P((a + b) is even) = 0.5.
Thank you for validating that I’m not crazy for not seeing the things described in the article in its examples!

COVID has a death per case rate of 3% give or take. It is estimated that only 1/3 of cases are confirmed. Thus we lose 1% of the people infected.

70% herd immunity without vaccines is 0.7% of your population basically. While I don't think we would lose the 49 million that implies unless we ignored it completely that does make saying we would lose 10s of millions if not for vaccinations not far fetched.

Yes I would put good odds we stay under 10 million in reality. I was only talking about the "natural herd immunity" idea.
Given my experience with both the US and Swedish healthcare systems, I'm not sure I would rate even the absolute best healthcare plans as good. Growing up, my healthcare plan was about the best possible (both parents were doctors in the same hospital so we got a sort of deluxe super plan better than even the regular doctor families got with only one doctor parent), but I would still say it was about as good as Sweden's setup.

I don't mean this as an attack on you, but I think Americans overestimate the quality of their healthcare. The US system really is pretty bad from top to bottom. There are of course people who have it _worse_ (e.g. those not insured at all), but I don't find any aspect of the system particularly impressive. And considering the fact that it's by far the most expensive per capita of any healthcare in the world, it really becomes totally inexcusable. American healthcare is a national disgrace.

Great journalism: I know Brent and his story with Iceland and the NYT story is a lie, but it is a good pretext to write some words and sell some subscriptions, even with some visibility on HN.

Brent and Erica love the place, so they wanted to live there for a while and visit around. The only way to get in was to get a working visa, so Brent found a local company interested to hire him part time for some work; if you don't know, he is in the top 3 experts in MS SQL performance tuning and he is doing a lot of consulting and training, so getting him even part time for a regular job rate (not his consultant rate) is a great deal for any company with such need. They don't have any plans to be digital nomads (meaning: work from different places around the globe), Iceland is one and Mexico (where Erica has family) are the 2 places they spend their time when not in San Diego.

So he is there not for tax reasons, not to evade US or the US government, but in an extended vacation while they still work as much as needed to justify the visa and to keep their business alive. Most people that are accidentally in this situation don't have a complex problem to solve with taxes, the ones that really do want to avoid US taxes while working abroad have some better sources of information and there are companies that help with that, offering a lot of info and services to get through the process (usually finding you a few good citizenships, more than 1 at a time and giving up on the US one).

What is not mentioned is the reverse situation: you are not a US citizen but you pay taxes in US and in another country, like many of my colleagues do. Because we work for an American company and we get a small portion of our income in US, we are taxed max rate (no return, no exceptions) in US and then we are taxed again in our countries, mostly in Europe, even if we don't set foot in US for that income. This is how it works, US is taxing everything it can.

Loon damaged the business case for FTTP installation because it gave CFO's a counter example which they used to argue that a widespread (rural) network could be outcompeted by a disruptive technology. Google fibre screwed things up by telling every CFO in telecoms that the price for doing an urban installation was padded; it was padded - padded with the money that stopped the fibres coming out of the pavement and getting ripped up. Apart from that minor detail Google fibre was great; apart from not actually having a business case Loon was great.

I know that people love the idea of telcos being smashed up and turned over, but when your broadband skips a beat this week remember that Google is part of the reason. Of course the bigger reason is that Telco CFO's spend their lives looking for cash at whatever cost to the underlying business and the social purpose of telecoms, and that telco boards are spineless blobs of jelly who are terrified of the investors and the CFO.
