IMO you have be lucky in both cases to really strike it rich.

Choosing a startup with this kind of potential is insanely hard to do, and if you get lucky then the explosive growth of immediately becoming wealthy is what redeems it. But the key is choosing the needle in the haystack. It's harder than being an investor. An investor can make 100 bets hoping one works out, but an employee is only deciding on 1 place.

Working at a FAANGM company is a safer chance at hoping to climb the corporate ladder and reach a cushiony role through steady work over time. Essentially someone is hoping to ride a steady incline up from $150k to $300k+. Granted it's not the exciting casino-like feeling that a startup exit provides.
Once you’ve tried the blow-drying, hot-water, steerable jets and pre-heated seat you never go back. Contemporary western toilets feel barbaric in comparison. No joke.
Well, usually you'd shower with a rag or scrubbing utensil of some type, or at minimum hand scrubbing with soap.
No. They are giving them a tax break for using gas that would have been flared or vented.
Bruce Bloom who was the former CEO of Cures within Reach was one of the first people to propose using pay for success financing (i.e. social impact bonds) to repurpose generic drugs, although their focus was on rare disease (see https://ssir.org/articles/entry/repurposing_social_impact_bo...). More recently in 2016, Findacure in the UK tried to get NHS backing but this was derailed due to Brexit (see http://findacure.org.uk/the-rare-disease-drug-repurposing-so...). The mission of the charity https://crowdfundedcures.org is to raise awareness and get payer backing of a generic drug repurposing pay for success contract in a specific disease class e.g. Covid-19, pancreatic cancer, Alzheimer's, Crohn's disease, MS, longevity, etc
If you’re up for QSBS treatment, I’d recommend to hire a CPA, financial advisor, and possibly a lawyer.

One of those three can send over a letter to the CEO or CFO to share relevant information. It’s usually already prepared for equity or debt financing rounds and possibly periodic reporting.
Correct. My partner keeps a small (easily washed) cotton towel on the TP hanger.
Maybe that seems high. I paid $200.
Biggest monkey is boss monkey. Biggest monkey with most monkey friends is next boss monkey. Monkey friends only harass monkeys with no friends and suck up to the boss monkeys and their friends. It's good to be boss monkey. All the other monkeys have to regulate themselves or get ripped apart.
This is our goal with E2E tests and monitoring — write tests that fail if and only if customers are experiencing issues — and I don’t know how to achieve that level of I-can-sleep-well-at-night assurance of quality without it. We run our E2E tests continuously against prod from a different cloud region.

As you wrote, the challenge is that there are literally 100 things that could cause a test to fail (some of which are outside your control), and as your team scales you’ll have to get smart about how to efficiently dispatch people to fix problems.
Hey sorry for the delay but wanted to say I appreciate your viewpoint and logical debate.
Doesn't Cryptocurrency have a significantly higher gini coefficient than most developed nations?

Cryptocurrency might have not been created to make the rich richer, but that sure seems to be the outcome.
agreed! I got used to them when I was in Thailand. Now TP alone even wet feels like living as a savage.
Agreed. Also taxes are levied where collection is possible; economic theory is not the only consideration. Thus income is taxed in many forms, since it's easier to tax than say value.

And there's political reasons - corp tax is popular with the masses even if it's inefficient.
> For it to be used as regular currency you have to have price stability. No one wants to go to the grocery store and find out that they lost 10% of their budget on the walk over.

such an uneducated take. there is no fiat currency that lasted a hundred years without massive loss in value, or completely disappearing altogether.
My first question is "What is China's next move?"

But there are so many other questions:

- intentional release? If so why?

- any other viruses/bacteria under study(almost undoubtedly, "Yes")?

- if so, where and what is planned?

China makes plans(written plans) for everything. Even if the release was an accident, there were reasons for doing the studies. What were/are they?

-What other viruses and/or bacteria are undergoing similar study in China? Are there any bacteriological production facilities in place now (as are present yet in Russia IIRC)?

- Can we count on Russia's past actions, facilities and quite clear warnings to provide a sufficient counterweight to China's fiddling in the lab? Or should we return to full scale biological warfare research ourselves? We can undoubtedly outpace both given time but at this point I see a need for some reasonable planning or we're likely to worsen the situation.

We still haven't considered non-governmental entities that may have an interest in biological warfare, ranging from the MIT grad student with a gene lab in his basement to the environmental organization that believes reducing the world's human population is a necessity.
I have tried them in Japan, but the cost: benefit ratio is off for me.
I find it hard to tell with milk, but for eggs it's generally pretty obvious by looking at the yolk. Small and unsaturated yellow in mass produced eggs; larger and a deep orange color in the higher quality eggs that I've purchased.

That can't quantify free range or organic, but given that the eggs which are labeled free range / organic have this noticeable difference in their contents, I think it's safe to assume the chickens were treated better and taken care of.

This feels like the writer made a great pitch, but could not actually deliver the goods. Come on. Equating influencers to philosophers? Equating the search for truth with deciding which influencers to follow? No. Just no.

The answer to the question is a clear and obvious "no".

Social media influencers are the spiritual and intellectual decedents of the Sophists, and Plato absolutely despised the Sophists
It’s pretty rare in our field for someone to be able to land one job offer but not a second one.

Sure, there are a lot of applicants banging away hopelessly (because they’re not qualified and those people should not negotiate), but most everyone else in software who can land job offer N can land job offer N+1 without undue difficulty.

IMO, SWEs have never had more “walk away” power since I joined the field about 3 decades years ago.
This is law. They state this is a result of the 14th Amendment. There is no higher law.
> The main problem I see over and over with E2E tests is that they keep people from getting good at unit tests.

I'd view that as a win then. Unit tests are next to worthless for anything but tightly bound domains, like libraries, in most cases.

They're actively harmful in things like application-level service code, where they're used to turn perfectly well-written code into a chockablock mess to satisfy "testibility".
So What If Aliens’ Quantum Computers Explain Dark Energy?
What enterprise tools are you thinking of? Because Clojure runs on the JVM, I'd imagine what works for Java also to work for Clojure.

Personally I see Clojure as a perfect choice for an ever-increasing amount of complexity, since you'd keep side-effects on the edges of your app and everything else as a pure function. Every occurrence of enterprise OO I have ever seen has been unmanageable mess that burns everyone out in a quick year, because you have no idea where something begins or ends, what goes on in-between, and instead of doing what actually matters (business logic) you spend most of your time creating abstractions.
> So he is turning down real investment in renewables

No, he's not.

> meanwhile his plan crashes the price of renewable energy endangering those industries and shrinking the market.. allowing established fossil fuel industries a bigger share

It seems that you have completely missed the past four decades of renewable energy decreasing in price by a factor of 100x. The result of this decrease was not "endangering those industries", but rather making them viable in the first place and broadening the market massively. As per Jevons, the energy market doesn't shrink when prices get lower.

I'm puzzled as to how someone could make such a glaringly obvious mistake.
Wait, would you only squirt it with water?

I want to work up to 8 drives in a vdev as my storage needs grow, because that's cost-effective. But I don't want to spend 8 drives of money up front, because it's a lot and because drive prices drop over time. Am I not a real use case?
So

"Study of the use of mechanized artillery by guerilla fighters in the blah blah region"

is context but

"use of mechanized artillery by guerilla fighters in the blah blah region"

is promotion? Clear as mud.

Remember when ISIS started showing beheadings on Youtube and people thought it should be allowed to inform the public of how horrible they were? Turns out it was actually promotion and helped recruit foreign fighters.
Seems like cross talking to me. They were responding to the erroneous claim of "input dimensonlity" being equivalent to data. What the first poster referred to as "internal data points" may be better described as the presumption of differentiability, that is, a small disturbance of the pixels should result in a "small" change of the labels. But it was ridiculous to claim somehow the total number of pixels is a meaningful measure of sample size. The pixels are not independent, as dramatized by the hash map example given above.
Not a great argument for people who wash other parts of their body with soap, hot water, and scrubbing with a cloth.
Buying precious metals is very regulated and not practical in numerous countries.
The Chinese government doesn't care about speculation that this was retaliation. They might claim these men were arrested on legitimate grounds, but they want everyone to know why they were arrested, which is what the timing is about. It is a deterrent, "do not extradite our assets upon request."
I finally bought one about two months ago. I was going to go all out and get the $400 one with heated water, heated seat, ass dryer and all that jazz, but just went with a $40 one from Amazon and it’s been perfectly fine.

It’s cold water but i think there just aren’t many cold nerves there or something. Definitely not the breathtaking experience of wading out into cold water.

I was kind of disappointed because I was hoping it would extinguish the morning ring of fire after a spicy dinner. It helps but not as much as i was hoping.

There’s also an adjustment period where you figure out the right pressure and get your target practice in. Now I do what I can best be described as the shaq_wiggle.gif and it’s all good.

Huge fan. Going to equip the rest of the house and save the bougie one for the hallway bathroom lol.
As long as it's backward-compatible with existing chargers then device manufacturers can do anything. They could even put 2 ports on the device, where one is USB-C.
I imagine that was just making a hole and running wire straight down. If the outlet is on the other side of the sink and walls need to be cut and studs drilled through, the costs should rise quickly. I figure even the electrical permit might cost $100 alone.

My experience is limited to high cost of living areas though.
Yet you've filled this thread with demonstrable fallacies regarding performance, overflowing stacks, and inability to see cleaner code.

Odd.

Vitalik answers this much more eloquently than I could.

And I would say what is the Gini coefficient for stocks? It isn't great either. Crypto is in its infancy. Bitcoin was created in 2009. What was the Gini coefficient for the first US dollars, the Continentals, in 1775? I'm going to assume most went to those closest to and believing in that new currency.

I make no apologies or excuses for crypto. I fully admit it isn't perfect. But I only state what it could be and dream of the future. That future I dream of is a more equitable society.
A random person called me satoshi..so I am going to write an entire blog post about it.

> am I weird for not being that uncomfortable with companies like Coinbase managing your crypto?

Since you're neutral to crypto, no, this is not weird. There is an overwhelming chance you use a trusted intermediary for your personal finance, so accepting that for crypto is an ideologically consistent position for you to take.

The issue is that it's a bit two faced for the crypto crowd, who for years have been saying "be your own bank" and hyping crypto's ability to destroy traditional banks and financial institutions. That's why those of us who are negative on crypto (like me) will regularly point out how crypto has basically started recreating a parallel financial structure to traditional finance, only worse.

It's likely that batteries won't be the future of automobile at all. You're just replace one limited resource with another. People also forget that the world economy is still growing and therefore there will be far more cars in the future than today. Once you realize that we will need to build multiple billions of cars in the future, plus all of the associated infrastructure, it should be clear that batteries cannot scale to that level of demand. It would have to be something like hydrogen since hydrogen can be made from water.
The vast majority of agricultural workers are seasonal migrants.

Energy workers are typically seasonal too, at least for fossil fuel extraction. Refineries are typically close to the cities.

How much human labor is required to "produce" water? Seems like gravity does most of the work there.
Most people aren't anarchists (or even libertarians). A world where anyone (including, say, terrorists or rogue states) can conduct transactions "without anyone having any authority to change/stop them" sounds, to most people, like a very bad thing.

I dunno I’m an over-halfway believer in crypto.

The other day I wanted to invest in a token. So I transferred ETH out of Coinbase to MetaMask wallet, then traded my ETH for the token.

Each transaction took about 30sec and cost ~$25. That sounds like a lot!

Until you realize ETH has been around only 8 years and the transaction is entirely irreversible by an enterprising (invasive? dictatorial?) third party.

To me it’s entirely insane that I can almost instantly transfer dollars across the world (galaxy?) for so little AND the protocol delivers incredible flexibility through smart contracts.

IMO the future is bright.
It's likely that most houses, especially ones built in the last 30 years in the US, will have a nearby option.

My house was built about 15 years ago, and there's a light switch by my toilet, so I could run off of that. There is also an outlet in another room that shares a wall by the toilet, so that would be an option too.

I don't have experience with GFCI (which I imagine is probably code-required around wet areas), but running a regular outlet off of another one is super easy if one is technically (and safety) competent.
What’s the alternative? Great Depression 2.0?

It’s not like the banks didn’t suffer during 2008. That bailout money was mostly returned with interest. All the government did was extend a lifeline.

Wow, I had an electrician run a wire from the circuit breaker in my garage along on the garage floor to create an on the wall (not even in the wall) outlet 15 feet away for a chest freezer and it was $250. No wall work at all. And that was summer 2020 prices. I doubt I could even get one to come out for a small job like that right now. I am on the west coast.
There is Task.WhenAll which works similarly, but the problem is that it requires either all of the tasks to have the same return type, or else treat all the tasks in the array as untyped and extract the return values in a separate step.

i.e. you have to write

var (fooTask, barTask, bazTask) = (GetFooAsync(), GetBarAsync(), GetBazAsync());
await Task.WhenAll(fooTask, barTask, bazTask);
var (foo, bar, baz) = (fooTask.Result, barTask.Result, bazTask.Result);

It's possible to write a custom awaiter extension method that allows awaiting tuples of tasks, so once that's in place you can just write

var (foo, bar, baz) = await (GetFooAsync(), GetBarAsync(), GetBazAsync());

There are third-party packages that do this for you and it's reasonably easy to write yourself if you understand the inner workings of async/await, but it's not part of the standard library.
The lawyer who said "don't talk to police" would undoubtably talk to police if he was a victim of a crime. The lack of nuance or thoughtfulness in that video seems to be part of the appeal to folks who like to link to it.

A more reasonable take would be to do a cost benefit analysis of whether an interaction with the police would likely cause trouble for you.

Your body loses water every time you breathe. You lose about 1 cup of water each day, just from breathing.
Or TP for the initial cleanup. Water to finish it off.
And if you're not in public restrooms: use your hand with the water for a deeper clean, and then walk to the sink to wash the hand with soap.
Much more hygienic than just TP.

Okay Karen, go ahead and trivially abuse it and write back with your findings. I'll wait.
I believe based on timestamps of forums posts they believe Satoshi is somewhere in Japan.
It unfortunately that there is so much misinformation about things like the bailout. A lot of people think that the US government gave the banks free money when in fact it was just a loan of sorts that the banks had to pay back with interest.

In fact the the US government actually made money from the bailout.

> In total, U.S. government economic bailouts related to the global financial crisis had federal outflows (expenditures, loans, and investments) of $633.6 billion and inflows (funds returned to the Treasury as interest, dividends, fees, or stock warrant repurchases) of $754.8 billion, for a net profit of $121 billion.

Schneier is one of a fairly limited set people in the world who has the technical skills and background to be Satoshi, so it's not a completely ridiculous assertion. However, virtually nothing else about Schneier and Satoshi lines up, Schneier being a notable crypto skeptic and having distinctive writing style quite unlike Satoshi's.

Nevertheless, he's prominent enough that it makes sense to forcefully deny the rumor, just to make it less likely that he'll be targeted by kidnappers, cranks, etc.

Sure, measure energy use per amount of money transferred. That's not going to be very nice either.

> Also a huge portion of the energy used by bitcoin would otherwise be wasted.

Oh, come on. Now you're just trolling. It would have been used for something else that most likely wouldn't be waste, like in factories or in hospitals and such.

I think you are missing the point. Authoritarianism is not a goal, but certainly helps. They just want money. If money become worthless, then so the plan.
US Crypto Regulation Far More Invasive Than We Thought
Before I spend more than half an hour with a company, I want to know that we’re in the same ballpark comp-wise. I’m not wasting my time if they’re thinking 50-60% of what I’m already making (and happy).

“I’m looking for a total comp number that starts with an X or an X+1” is the way I generally approach it.

It's not just toilet paper and cleaning supplies. Our Costco here in DFW constantly runs out of all kinds of items. There have been times where they ran out of lettuce for weeks and about a month ago their entire produce section was down to like a skid or two of odds and ends. No lamb for weeks, other staples disappearing for a time and then reappearing only to disappear again. I've found that they carry less variety and more of the same product on the shelves. It's really weird what's happening, Aldi is even worse and Walmart is hit and miss. Nothing is normal anymore and it seems to be getting worse. Gas today was $2.69 at Costco...unbelievable... I had to ask if someone started another War in the ME or something.
Appreciate the advice. Are there cut offs similar to an 83b election? Or can QSBS still apply if you're near the end of the five year wait period and you took no action at grant and exercise events (besides what you normally might for an ISO grant)? Asking so I'm not wasting the time of the involved.
