Maybe there's hope for us after all.

I had given up on the singularity ever coming to pass, and the reason was CryptoCurrency. How could we ever upload our consciousness to the cloud if the cloud was fully occupied inventing imaginary wealth tokens? Because 'mining' can consume any amount of cpu horsepower, so there was never going to be any left for the singularity.

But now? There's a new hope.
At my high school the "target" schools for the top performers in the class were usually some kind of high ranked school or ivy for this reason. I don't remember any of my classmates (myself included) really factoring in specific details of the institution itself for whether we preferred one over the other, rather we just looked at the top 20 list and applied to the ones we liked. The logic being that if we landed somewhere we could basically be pretty successful in whatever field we ended up choosing. So, often that looked like apply to all ivies + a safety or two.

I was rank 8/432 and applied to: Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, Stanford, Pomona, Rice, and UW. Got rejected from everywhere except UW so that's where I ended up going. I think only one other person in the top 10 went to UW with me, and he had plans to be a CS major. Funnily enough over 50% of my graduating class just went to UW because it was: good enough, close to home, and relatively affordable.

Please reread my post. My use of "perfect" was in terms of the effects -- as in, a 100% reduction of methamphetamine's effects, such that it'd be reasonable to call it a "perfect" drug. Not in terms of safety, nor rolling die for people's lives.

Though I suppose you'd be "playing statistics on with people's lives" on a drug that has a 75% effect as opposed to a 100% (ie, perfect) effect. Since the drug isn't as effective as expected, treatment as a whole isn't as effective, so deaths will happen. A statistically better outcome overall, but still a "statistical game" as you call it.
I don't think it was "broke". I've much preferred to fly into there and avoid sprawling lines at JFK for the last 10 years.

What are you replying to? That you cannot buy the stock? Because that is demonstrably false.

> If you could take 200k cash every year and then time travel back to the start of the period with it and buy the stock, THAT would be equivalent to RSUs.

Except that's not what the OP wrote.

Let me rephrase you - The number of people, yourself included, who are completely ignoring what the OP wrote to just rant about RSUs and seem more intelligent is... not shocking at all.

What if you planted a bomb in a package on your doorstep with instructions on it telling people not to open it? What if the package thief stealing your package opens it and causes an explosion injuring themselves and maybe others?

You're describing a (digital) booby trap. Since you're knowingly targeting law enforcement officers, I'm not sure legal theory factors into whether you could get away with it in practice but even theoretically the answer is probably no, that's a computer crime.

Ok fair points,but how does the creator achieve the reach he has? Or pay for hosting and serving content across the globe? He doesn’t pay for either of these right? YouTube pays for this and you the user can choose to pay by watching ads or paying a subscription fee (Patreon does not defray Google’s costs).

There are tons of reasons to be pissed with google, but I find this allergy to YT premium very fascinating, especially when many of the same people would cheer a paid search subscription.
These are all reasonable points, but since I have lots of experience building recommendation systems at places like google, I have a pretty good understanding of what the embeddings are capable of learning (even so, Google News still does the same thing occasionally).

Not really, no:

https://wccftech.com/hours-into-the-eth-merge-nvidia-geforce...

New 3000 series retail prices on the high end cards have been steadily dropping, and it seems like on ebay used prices have dropped 10% in the last month.

As for the 4000 series cards - they've stated in SEC filings that they will be trickling out stock to keep prices high.

AMD are the ones who are really fucked; their cards suck, and nobody bought them out of choice but desperation. Now that the market is glutted, people will heavily prefer nvidia cards.
If a cryptocurrency actually gained widespread use (competitive with cash), I'd imagine it would take on some aspects of a central bank -- being the only currency is only fun if the economy running smoothly. Money given to poor people more-or-less immediately enters circulation.
I'd argue it's more about service or API integration.

AI will only be a positive revolution if it's not putting a large number of people out of jobs, but merely increasing their productivity.

Or, if it DOES put a lot of people out of jobs, it would be good for them to have some ownership over the AI, so that it's the labor force who reaps the benefits, not just the corporations. The bad scenario is mega-corps replace lots of humans with a fleet of machines owned by the mega-corp. The better scenario is we see widespread ownership of AI-powered productive property (that is, distributism), such that mega-corps contract out jobs to humans who own that property, and the property allows those humans to provide better service than before.
What blog engine and why did you and I assume your partners feel like the world needed another one? Not being glib. I'm genuinely curious.
I do suspect that the scene changed by the mid-90s. Although, it might also be that the American scene was a bit different from the European scene? It's worth mentioning that the movie Hackers was made by a Brit, and perhaps his vision was more influenced by the European scene at the time, despite the movie being based in NYC?

I came of age during the height of the demo scene in Europe, and enjoyed the pre-warez offshoot where pirated games always included exciting intros/cracktros. So hackers making electronic music and cool visuals was the baseline that every noob had to meet to be "elite". Of course in real life we still all wore "normal clothes" and lived careful, quiet lives - but the dream was to be these rockstars that the movie Hackers turned to 11.

30K of missed growth on 400K doesn’t seem so bad to not have 400K tied up in a single company.

If, along those 4 years, your company tanks 25% (Shopify tanked over 50%), you’ll be able to abandon the investment (and get 100k a year of something else), or double down and get more shares (aka dollar cost averaging).

We built a relay bit couple years ago. You can invite the bot into a private channel and then other users who are not part of the channel can use a form to send messages to that channel. The members of the Channel can then use the thread to answer.

Ask HN: Is pandemic pet adoption real impedance to ending WFH?
Is there any way to discover reliable statistics on geographic areas?

I'm presently a stone's throw from Victoria Park in the East End of London where the universe of four breeds all the similar young age, has been the delight that finally banished my life long aversion to the company's of dogs.

But it is unlikely that My companies can recruit exclusively from the catchment of Victoria Park.

However what I'm trying to achieve is a way of putting pet care up front before you interviews is even pre screened, because if it's legal to do nice and possible favourable things for pet owners and not influence the process, we really want to start talking about possible daytime dog care solutions way before interviewing for learning about the bilateral effects.

I've never kept any pet mammal, absolutely arguing for a artificially cold heart against pet responsibility become I believe that I'd be deeply affected by the absence of my pet. (Just being recognized annually by the working Border Collie of my uncle's neighbour, broke me down every six months I visiting.

Can anyone suggests even just approaches to talking with owners who are also simultaneously potential candidates, about how our company wants to find a sustainable solution that is ruling out nothing whatsoever right now, down to adapting certain working environment parameters such as renting a residential house and garden together with professional walkers/ canine carers so that every dog is plenty visible?

Obviously canine population is exploded with ~2yrs old dogs who are still very much young and learning and I'm seeing many breeds which I used to appreciate for being "high maintenance" (which for older generation owners I'm suspicious used to be code for "I had to pay for a vet check up" such is my despair over abuse stories.

Oh dammit, can I instead just ask your guidance for this so I can try and contain my potentially runaway emotions over dogs and avoid messing up the daily chores?

Oh, one more thing please? I just had enter my mind the option of laying on rides to work so dogs are never ignored because public chaos. This could become ridiculous in London especially for journey timing. But how would a offer to provide and install high security access control for collecting your dog and bringing them to work just later than you'll make it in? Thinking vestibule hall double doors not any full access to any domicile.

Please can I beg more to hear about the nature and canine - human aspects of your experiences with any solutions? I am thinking that possible outcomes may make it well worth going to seemingly ridiculous lengths to accommodate a dogs if, beyond the classic indentured canine servant gig.

Please forgive me if I have asked anything dumb. I literally experienced my Damascene conversion moment about this over this summer. Fully ready to dump on that past me to get beyond anything that causes doggie distress during the working day. (I'd have totally puked immediately after saying this in my former reality, ouch..) Thanks in advance for anything you can tell about.

The exact opposite of a hacker. If they instead run their own company, built their own products, or open sourced an amazing tool the yeah. Otherwise do we really want a series or movie about their daily stand-ups?
The difference is that those already exist. I think concern about the development of new technology is valid.

There are definitely nuances and unclear boundaries of where the boundaries between 'public' and 'community' are.

I think the more active building in public people feel it is a community, but it probably takes them a while to get there. Some people need extra support to get to that public stage, or need a more private space to talk about things they feel they can't do in public.

Part of building in community is to create a supportive environment to help them build in public better. For example, I often say tell people 'in community' that something they've just said would be a great tweet. They tweet it and then I share or jump in the conversation there too.
Well, it doesn't ask.

My experience is probably not relevant to the audience here, but having worked at startups largely in non-engineering support roles that got smaller or heavily diluted grants, I've lost about $3,000 on options in 10 years in tech.

I paid in $17,500 at two places where I had vested any options, all ISOs, and cashed out ~$14,500: broke even on an IPO at $7,500 vested, and lost $3k of $10k after the company was sold for less per share than the strike price of my options.

If I had stayed at the IPO'd company longer I could've gotten a higher-class of option, but my salary there was $15k/year less than the bootstrapped no-equity company I left them for, and the returns over two years of vesting would've still been less than one year of difference in salary.

At most of the places I worked, I either didn't make enough money or experienced too much external financial distress to actually buy all of the options I vested. Which is good, because none of them appreciated and most depreciated in value by 20%. If I had exercised all of my vested options I would've lost up to another $5-7k - at best I would have lost another $2-3k.

The only RSUs I was ever offered vested 2 weeks after I left a job that I'd had for almost six years, for a role elsewhere paying $25k/year more. The RSUs were a surprise bonus worth less than $5,000 and tacked onto everyone at the company, including roles that had already gotten larger RSU grants. If I had stayed two weeks longer and vested them, then when the company sold they would've been worth less than $4,000. Between the salary difference, a much smaller insurance deductible at the new job, and a 4x larger 401k match, I had effectively made up the difference by my fourth paycheck (eight weeks) just on salary.

On my experience I'd take the cash every single time. Reading the replies here, it seems like engineers, managers, and early hires live in a completely different reality regarding equity.

I am working on fusing classical control with reinforcement-learning based control in drones.

The good thing about RL is that it is adaptive and proactive - it tunes control from data as it streams and it learns to act with delayed feedback in mind.

The bad thing is that it can be sample inefficient. It needs lots and lots of data. That is not good in a time-critical case such as when faults occur. I've come to enjoy pushing back on completely black-box control of systems, foregoing the advances of decades of theory. That helps me scale back complexity of the system if only a little domain knowledge is sprinkled on the solution.

So, first, I started using transfer learning to re-use existing policies from similar situations. However "similar" is a very open problem in the domain. I then thought that we can exploit insights we get from classical control of linear systems into these more complex domains. If, for example, we can make some simplifying assumptions (locally linear, there's some global optimum etc.). So far I am getting promising results. But there is always some data wrangling involved. I am hoping to use that in my dissertation later this year. (If anyone's hiring, feel free to reach out).
Interest is tax deductible, and if you have an investment property you can write off a lot of things.

No tax benefits go to renters. That's one of many considerations here other than raw liabilities.
“There is no such thing as a 'non-detainable' offense. Any alleged offender could be detained because of a risk of flight or because they are a repeat offender and those charged with the most serious crimes – which are non-probationable – can also be detained for risk to public safety,” said [Governor] Pritzker’s spokesperson Jordan Abudayyeh.

If an accused person is actually a threat, they can be put in jail. The change is that a person can't be put in jail and kept there only because they can't come up with the cash for bail.

> But Amazon isn't doing this so that they can make the other retailer's customers pay more. They're doing it to make sure their own customers pay the lowest price that prevails in the marketplace. It's just that this is the only mechanism they have for accomplishing that. Amazon can't control what a seller does elsewhere, but if a product is on sale elsewhere, they can basically tell the seller that they refuse to list it on Amazon unless the seller reduces the price to match the other retailer.

Nonsense. Selling on Amazon takes a 18-33% markup on the price of the product. Amazon forces this margin consumers by requiring sellers to not sell cheaper elsewhere; even though selling elsewhere may cost the seller less.
