Ask HN: Is it possible to exercise options without providing the cash yourself?
Am moving on to a new role. Have 10,000 vested options at $2 strike price which is the same as the last FMV. Company estimates current value at $10. Distant future exit is likely in the lower half of 1-5x current value.

I don’t really want to take the risk on buying these myself nor do I really have the cash to invest if I wanted to. Didn’t know if there was any other option to let someone else front the cash take the risk even if it meant giving up a large chuck of the possible reward.
How the US fell out of love with flying
Really cool! From my understanding, it looks like this is doing something like word embeddings and searching for nearby points in the embedding space.

Crazy idea: what if you used a dimensionality reduction like t-SNE instead of learning a vector representation? Would you expect similar results?
I don't think gp necessarily contradicts that. Maybe just difference of word choice wrt "style"

I don't get it, are you insinuating that "the American right" don't like scientists, journalists, professors, librarians, and doctors? You may want to evaluate your echo chamber if you believe this personification of 150M people. I say that as a Canadian living in the US and is perpetually confused by what each side says about the other.

That snopes article is much more reasonable than you're making it out to be.
Can you do some deduping? A lot of the matches are just the same song appearing on multiple albums or single vs. album version.
Here’s another example:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/blm-terrorist-rosenberg/

> In the absence of a single, universally-agreed definition of "terrorism," it is a matter of subjective determination as to whether the actions for which Rosenberg was convicted and imprisoned — possession of weapons and hundreds of pounds of explosives — should be described as acts of "domestic terrorism."

It should go without saying that there’s no single, universally agreed upon definition of anything, thus giving a convenient way to dismiss any inconvenient claims.
Russians as a culture are plenty nationalist.

Russia as a polity is very confused on this. Officially, it's civic nationalist - you're supposed to think of yourself as a part of the "Russian nation" regardless of your ethnicity, but it's also defined broadly to allow for incomplete assimilation.

As a side note, it's more difficult to talk about this in (most) languages other than Russian because they don't have the distinction that Russian itself does. The word "русский" ("russky") usually means Russian in an ethnic sense, while the word "российский" ("rossiyskiy" - from the name of the country, which is Rossiya in Russian) means Russian in a sense of pertaining or belonging to the country. Thus you can compare and contrast "russky nationalism" (ethnic) and "rossiyskiy nationalism" (civic).

In practice, the government tolerates and sometimes encourages ethnic Russian nationalism so long as it does not manifest as open political opposition.

TLDR: you see, vetting sources by their track record, peer review, and overall methodology is biased! (Against false beliefs).

Sources about "alternative medicine" like homeopathy aren't excluded because they're shitty improperly vetted BS that don't have any good methodology or reproducibility, it's because there's a secret Cabal of Wiki Editors that wants to hide the truth from you.

Right wing news sources are excluded not because they're universally and consistently objectively worse at factual reporting, but because there's a leftist agenda on the part of the Cabal of Wiki Editors (also apparently NYT and CNN are fucking leftist lmfao).

Strictly traditional religious sources are excluded on factual matters like history and anthropology relating to religions not because they're inherently going to be biased because most of them sign faith statements, and classical religious figures are excluded not because they're centuries out of date, but because the Cabal of Wiki Editors is biased towards atheism!

> But if they manage to get H2 from it then the sodium, oxygen, and chlorine have to bind into something else than usual I guess.

It's the same electrolysis process used today in swimming pools to generate chlorine. The hydrogen evaporates, the chlorine ends up in the water, and the chemical reaction ends up producing the same salt it started with. You don't have to add salt[0] and the chlorine pretty quickly evaporates and breaks down in sunlight if you don't put cyanuric acid in the water to bind it.

Mostly it could be ignored, though if the chlorine level got high enough it would kill the organic things.

On the 2nd statement, quite curious if that's true... if so, each of the companies will have at least a blog post, or tweet thread about the affiliation. If not true, you're probably reducing who is an efficient engineer who's worth their salt for their output.
“Just aim” seems to be understating the challenge of hitting a tiny target through multiple miles of atmosphere and holding the same position long enough to damage the sensor. The laser alone seems like it would blow that $5k budget by a handy margin — not much economy of scale at that power level.

Yes, all Strads are Frankensteins in some way, and for some a ship of Theseus problem emerges.

Which makes the entire question of which is better an odd one and quite frankly kind of uninteresting.
I hear that every year around I/O, but I never see stats to back that up. Have you got any? Flutter has been becoming very popular for years, but I don't know anyone who uses it. More than 20% is a neat stat, but how many of the top 10 or 100 apps are Flutter? How many of those 20% roll out to large audiences? How many don't get rewritten?
I remember being thrilled by his 2015(?) piece (the really long "cellular automata as universal foundation" one).

Felt like a proper stab at combining physics + CS, thin on details, but fertile ground. Wolfram is an explorer there, barely charting the edges of an unknown continent.

The speed of light, light cones, and speed/time equivalence make a ton of sense through the lens of updates propagating through a grid of cells.

Don't remember the QM part so well, but from what I do remember, he proposes that probability/alternate timelines are subject to the same computational constraints over probability space, that physical objects have in real space.

As an aside, entangled particles were only ever a conceptual issue, right? From an engineering perspective they seem completely practical.
It isn’t a democratic system. It’s clearly been infiltrated by both lobbyists as you say but also foreign powers. Further integration should be halted in my opinion until the undemocratic elements are dissolved and replaced with ethical moral means of representation if that doesn’t happen then we are at an impasse for which I see no future in this system. Personally I will not donate the labor my life to it. Everyone is free (for now) to do what they wish. Nothing is perfect but society should benefit those who benefit society not oligarchs and tyrants.
From start to finish it probably took around 7-8 years. The booklist I had, started out pretty easy going (i.e. you were expected to read The Illiad in about 2 weeks), towards the fourth year it is frankly delusional how fast you are expected to read (War and Peace was assigned 1 week) and I have NO idea how the students in the course can do it. I was reading maybe 2 hrs a day whilst working fulltime.

Yes I read them in the order presented. The order kind of makes sense (sem 1 & 2: Ancient Greece, sem 3: Early christianity/rome, sem 4: renaissance, sem5/6: enlightenment, rise of democracy, sem 7/8: early modern period.) By the time you get to Shakespeare there are echoes of stories you have already read.

In terms of a strategy for retention, I kept a small book of quotes from the works and would add to them weekly (no idea where this is now).

I should say that the latter stages of the course has large sections that are for essay writing and projects. I skipped all this but added other books instead. These were mainly American literature (Twain, Fitzgerald, steinbeck), English literature (Bronte, Dickens, Orwell) and some older stuff (Suetonius, Xenophon).

It seems another issue is simply the politicization of American media in general which Wikipedia relies on by design. Even if Wikipedia's editors were totally neutral, their reliance on mainstream media coverage to dictate what is worth covering in an article and what isn't ends up mirroring what American mainstream media sources cover (and don't cover).

Even in 1971, when the partisan divide had much more crossover than it does today, just 25% of journalists identified as Republicans. By 2014, that number was 7% according to the Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/05/06/ju...). As the Post's Cillizza points out, that number is for all journalists in the US, and is likely much lower in major media outlets in urban centres that are already often 80%+ Democratic voting in the broader population. With further partisan polarization and the closure of local news outlets, it's likely that percentage is negligible in the major, invariably big-city based outlets used as sources on Wikipedia.

Whatever you think of Biden, the unanimous blackballing of the Hunter Biden laptop story as "Russian propaganda" outside of explicitly right-wing news sources, including banning it being sent over private message on the two largest communication platforms on earth, is a pretty astounding example of how far that's gone. Anyone who wasn't being deliberately obtuse that looked at the New York Post's reporting could see it was likely real. Seeing journalists ignore the story at best and widely cheer on censorship of stories based on their political implications is a massive deviation from the premise of a media generally willing to cover all important stories that Wikipedia is built around.
Agree, it’s very common pattern, one that in part is caused by power grabs, but also by people suddenly realizing they now the ones in control and if they fail, they’re next on the chopping blocks.

Would be curious about the evolution on ACLU on free speech you referenced. Does this article cover your understanding, or is it something else?

I estimate square roots by just imagining a square. The area of tyhe square is the thing you are square rooting, the sides of the square are the roots. Eg, wahts the square root of 2345. Well roughly imagine a square of Area 2300, the sides are bigger than 100 (1/2 as big), but not more than 200 which would be 2x too big, so its probably around 150.
>Scientists have used 3D lasers and CT scans to measure the precise geometry of a Stradivarius, but so far no one has been able to replicate its sound.

To my understanding, most modern violins are patterned after the Stradivarius. Modern violins sound the way they so because of all the violins of the early Baroque, only Stradivarius’s violins (and to a smaller extent Guaneri’s) survived to the Classical and Romantic, where (with some modifications) became the Platonic pattern all luthiers followed for violin shape, size, and timbre.

So in a way, all modern violins replicate Strads because that is the only violin sound in existence.
> They were hunted to extinction though

That isn't exactly clear, and the last of them lived on Alaska's remote St. Paul Island, I believe once a part of the Bearing Land Bridge, at least as late as 5600ya, and some may have survived on the Aleutian Islands as late as 1650BC, and possibly, though unlikely, even as late as 800AD. The last ones were not hunted.
I wonder this too. I tried scraping iOS App reviews from Apple's server and I didn't get far before my IP was blocked.
It's about using clocks to compare local noon to Greenwich noon in order to calculate longitude. Thing is that about 50% of all English expressions relate to the British navy and the other 50% are falsely attributed to the British navy so it's hard to say if 1-or-3 was actually real advice.
Yeah, like the linked The Medallion Calls example catches similarities to the slow starting section of the track and totally misses the main part
Logic goes back. Could have stuff from Babbage, too. I definitely feel SJ would appreciate an old school style math proof exposition even perhaps between mathematicians. (Forgetting any specifics as it’s been way too long.) Notably, NM does have solid math departments to invite for lectures.

I always got the impression SJ is more about an “originalism” towards knowledge. But of course they’re going to have to pick and choose. Maybe it’s time for them to revisit math and add computing.

Edit-read the math curriculum. They threw Darwin, Feynman, and Einstein into there as electives. Seems a little of a catch-all. Also they could add Shannon entropy.
Agreed: another milestone not worth mentioning. I'm not sure why these trivial feats keep appearing on the front page.

Oh my god i didn’t think I’d be taking this nostalgia pill today but I’m so glad I did. This show was absolutely foundational to my high school experience haha. StarCraft, CnC, and CS were pretty much my entire life in 2008-2010. What a blast of a time on the internet. Designing maps in StarCraft’s map editor is half the reason I even got into programming in the first place.
Also military expansion in the region (e.g. the Philippines base) and direct aid to Taiwan. The problem for hawks is what everyone sober is already aware of: there aren’t many ways to contain a nuclear power with a large advanced economy next to its borders which don’t quickly end up in a pretty dark scenario.

But then, of course, you need some kind of enforcement. And once you set that up, it turns out that it is subject to the same problems as other law enforcement / intelligence agencies:

"In 2001, the federal government, the Bundestag, and the Bundesrat jointly attempted to have the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany ban the NPD. The court, the highest court in Germany, has the exclusive power to ban parties if they are found to be "anti-constitutional" through the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany. However, the petition was rejected in 2003 after it was discovered that a number of the NPD's inner circle, including as many as 30 of its top 200 leaders were undercover agents or informants of the German secret services, like the federal Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz. They include a former deputy chairman of the party and author of an anti-Semitic tract that formed a central part of the government's case. Since the secret services were unwilling to fully disclose their agents' identities and activities, the court found it impossible to decide which moves by the party were based on genuine party decisions and which were controlled by the secret services in an attempt to further the ban. The court determined that so many of the party's actions were influenced by the government that the resulting "lack of clarity" made it impossible to defend a ban. "The presence of the state at the leadership level makes influence on its aims and activities unavoidable," it concluded."
I've not read it myself, but An Elegant Defense [1] by Matt Richtel has come highly recommended to me. My understanding is that it takes a more human-interest angle, but also does a good job explaining how the immune system works and how it can go wrong at a high level. May be worth checking out as well.

Google is not paying people to provide a service. They are paying a company.
I sympathize with the people who are underpaid, but their beef should be with their employers not with Google, even though as another commenter stated: Google is outsourcing non-compliance.
On a related note, if people working below the minimum wage are flying to protest at Google headquarters, someone is paying their airfare. Doesn't look like a spontaneous act to me.
