RSU's are taxed on vesting, so it would be worse than options if anything.

Best are options with early exercise, but they're still not perfect (you have a possibly significant upfront cost to exercise them).

Usually "Russian disinformation" would refer to politics related news, for example. Are you confident this website (which looks like a hobby project) qualifies as being related to the Russian government?

I can only expect that, because if you just assume "its Russian so it must be bad", I would not expect you to be on HN (rather maybe in some other, more racist, forum).
I wish! It's not that I don't want to have a free personal assistant that can answer all my questions with zero effort of my own. And it's not like it couldn't happen, but I don't think it's inevitable or right around the corner. These are large language models, not large knowledge models. They're good at sounding like humans, not good at determining veracity. So to become consistently accurate would be a quantitative change and not just a qualitative one.
I doubt WFH is so popular solely because all workplaces are toxic. A toxic workplace is one like that at American Radium in first half of 20th century, or the building of transcontinental railroad, or Hoover Dam, or Mt Rushmore.

Yes, it's unnecessary at best but potentially causes other problems. Really, if somebody uses a racial slur, does somebody above them really need a banned word list to caution or discipline them? Of course not!
For the record this is one of my favorite "discussions" on HN ever. When either of you write something, I always read it carefully. This discussion has taken some strange turns that I never would have expected from either of you.

Have you…ever listened to a story? Because that is not remotely the same thing.
I don't want NPR's sound. I want the sound of classic FM radio.

It seems that many current FM stations don't have great sound quality, and I don't know why. Bad EQ and audio processing for the music they are playing? Lossy audio compression? Lower channel bandwidth and/or interference from digital signals or other sources? Weaker power? Distortion and clipping in the music itself? Worse noise pollution?

Good FM radio seems to have enhanced stereo separation, clear highs and midrange, warmer but not overwhelming bass, and some compression on pop/rock stations to make the quieter bits audible in a car.

Bad FM seems more harsh/strident, distorted, noisy, etc..
IIRC there's still a limit of 2,000 shareholders for private companies.

So if those employee options transfer to outside buyers, they potentially hit the 2K limit really fast.

btw - Nearly this same set of circumstances forced the FB IPO. Dozens of early employees were allowed to sell their shares pre-IPO, triggering the max private shareholder rule.
US teachers grapple with a growing housing crisis: ‘We can’t afford rent’
Most speakers can operate as a microphone. You just operate them in reverse. Sound waves in a room move the speaker cone which in turn induces a voltage on the speaker coil as it vibrates. In most modern speakers the amplifier circuit gets in the way of making anything of it. "Passive" pc speakers that didn't have an amp used to be more common in the 90s. Usually a cheap set came with a new computer purchase. They didn't have the power/wall wart and ran solely off the power pumped out by your computers 3.5mm audio. My mind was blown when I found out as a young kid that you could plug these into the microphone port and record... from a speaker!
If there are no landlords to finance the purchase and maintenance of homes for the rental market, how would people who only want to rent a home do so?
The abnormal part is these activists bring up ancient negative definitions (that no one else has ever heard of) for words like "brown bag", when no one uses the 'bad' definition in daily practice, and try to ban it.

If a word/phrase has evolved toward a positive definition, then its abnormal and regressive and wrong to try to bring back the negative definition and force people to stop using it. Why do they do it? For just the twitter points?

Ask HN: Why Do Some CS Researchers Switch to Software Engineering Careers
I've been noticing a trend for the past five years, where people (often with PhDs) who start their careers working as researchers for industrial research labs (e.g., IBM Almaden Research Center, HP Labs, Intel Research, etc.) end up switching careers and become software engineers. I'm curious about whether the trend is due to personal interests (e.g., wanting to create production-quality software instead of research prototypes, wanting to avoid "publish-or-perish" pressures, higher salaries offered for SE positions) or due to other reasons (I have noticed a gradual winding down of industrial research labs in the past decade). I currently work at an industrial research lab. I enjoy doing research but I'm concerned about my ability to remain a researcher during my career.

The reverse is true as well. Some popular soft drinks in the USA are unknown in Brazil -- such as root beer, Dr Pepper, and cream soda.[1]

I think guaraná would be a success in the US and root beer could be a success in Brazil too. My assumption is that nobody wants to spend the money to create the market in a new country unless they're going to have a monopoly for at least awhile. But nobody own the flavors of guaraná and root beer, or even those names. After you've spent all the money to educate the public, some established domestic company would swoop in and take the market away from you.

There are billions of people living under worse regimes than Cuba, yet only it and a handful of other nations have been on the receiving end of US sanctions. This was devastating to its economy (prior to the revolution it was of course Cuba's biggest trading partner).

There is no justification for the embargo. It was Cold War aggression, pure and simple, now sustained for the last decades purely because of electoral reasons.
Wow, 40kg is super impressive!

> how come this is even a selling point?

There is an extension I used to use which did it for Google, though it's been long enough that I don't remember what it's called. I think that it is an okay workaround, but if I need to trim out this kind of stuff, I consider it a problem with the underlying system. It would be nice to be able to import or subscribe to someone else's list of domain-level overrides. But at a certain level, if you're subscribing to Kagi, you're probably looking to avoid that stuff by default, and you should just not have to deal with it in the first place.

Ask HN: Friendly Fraud / Chargeback Abuse
If you're a small business owner or run a SaaS product with a small team, how do you handle customers doing chargebacks? It's expensive to dispute each charge, some processors are biased against you, and you end up losing often. So you lose money on the product / service delivered, get hit with fees, and are emotionally drained and worn down.
Small claims procedures exist in many places for exactly this reason.

Ideally the parties submit their own version of events and if the facts are not in dispute then a judge or similar official can rule on the case without anyone ever needing to appear in person. The fees can be minimal but enough to deter frivolous actions. There can be a policy where the loser pays those fees by default so if one party will clearly win then there is an incentive for the other to settle immediately without going through the whole process.

If the facts are in dispute then you can move to providing evidence and if necessary to each side making a full case at some kind of trial. By the time you're appearing in person that will probably incur a higher cost even if the system is designed to minimise overheads. That means it's only worth going that far if there is enough on the line to justify the effort. But isn't that reasonable for something that will take a significant amount of both parties' time and the court's resources to decide and if the facts are in dispute and neither party has clear evidence that immediately resolves the matter? Again you can keep the fees low but not completely negligible and have a presumption that the loser will pay to incentivise settling early in most cases.

It's a strategy and logistics problem for the generals sitting in their safe air conditioned offices.

It's been a while since I did C#/dotnet but I imagine the ecosystem (i.e. Windows, SQL Server etc) in terms of cost and, shall we say, inflexibility, would be high in people's minds. That, and the kind of boilerplate required that means people don't start with Java nowadays either.

I moved from C# to Ruby, and along the way I read Design Patterns in Ruby[1] (which I highly recommend), and it went through several of the patterns I used to have to apply in C# to make it workable, and it would then show me they weren't needed in Ruby because of the structure of the language. Maybe C# has improved in these kind of things, but things like that matter when developers are also expensive and you want to crank out features.

Creating Value as an Entrepreneur

We quantify the amount of spatial misallocation of labor across US cities and its aggregate costs. Misallocation arises because high productivity cities like New York and the San Francisco Bay Area have adopted stringent restrictions to new housing supply, effectively limiting the number of workers who have access to such high productivity. Using a spatial equilibrium model and data from 220 metropolitan areas we find that these constraints lowered aggregate US growth by more than 50% from 1964 to 2009.

We can collectively choose to dramatically increase real material resources for a large proportion of the population, including teachers, by liberalizing housing laws.

And the worst part is that if your curated feed isn't overly active (because Instagram is degrading their experience too), you get yet more suggestions and ads to fill the gaps. Plus the badgering to make reels, no matter how many times you ask it to stop suggesting that.

the biggest joy is that you get it back in the form of a credit over several years, all the while paying interest and fees on the tax bill you cant initially pay because your "gains" are in a private company's stock that you cant sell! I've yet to get a rational explanation of why the current AMT law is fair. sure for some people it makes sense, but for the exercise of ISOs in a private company, it's basically robbery where they give you a chunk of what they stole back every year, and hopefully a liquidity event comes along sooner rather than later
This works, but, just so you know, the free tool has to have a minimum of friction to use, and it has to _actually_ be valuable to your audience. Marketing = making others aware that you have a solution for their pain points. These free tools are the simplest expression of that. Deviate from that (complicated set up, low value, etc) and it won't work.
At the same time I asked for a Dewey classification... and it worked.

May I ask - how do you know exactly?

Specifically - with what level of accuracy? And how is it assessed?

At first glance it does seem to be highly accurate - except where it isn't:

650 Management and public relations (1)
- Caxton and the Printing Press 18 Oct, 2012

Which is not to knock what you're doing - because overall the performance does seem to be quite impressive (especially considering the effort invested).

Still - there's that "last mile".

So it would be nice to now how the performance compares to that other topic modeling approaches. And to what extent LLMs actually provide a boost.

generally, the whole point of a story is to deliver a narrative in a way you'll accept it, and NPR does that in spades.
I think the idea comes from many other mainstream languages being relatively much faster. The classic rejoinder was about expressiveness and developer time, but with newer languages that have learnt from Ruby and others (most obviously Elixir and Crystal, but any of the newer generation could probably be chosen) that's less of an argument. Now it relies on the legacy of Rails more than anything, which isn't so bad, is it?

I wouldn't pick it for a new project though if I could write Rust or Elixir or Crystal etc unless they lack something in their ecosystem that Rails has, but over time this will become less of a difference.
Congrats, you've just invented yahoo!

What’s wrong with people sorting into places that are culturally compatible? After all plenty of people move to Paris for the culture.

Aside from schools, most people either don’t use those things or it doesn’t make a difference. Oftentimes it’s an upgrade from the utterly dysfunctional alternative where they came from. (The efficiency of my traditionally red county’s limited public services was a nice change of pace from DC.)

Yeah I agree with the GP. Most $400 laptops come pre-loaded with all sorts of janky crap that make that 10th gen intel CPU run like a wounded animal.

Most users have no idea how to remove any of it. Or, worse, they'll enable all of the preinstalled antivirus programs because they want their computer to be safe. And it gets worse. I visited my parents once and noticed something weird on my dad's macbook air. Turned out he'd gone out and bought Norton antivirus to install on it (!?). Norton installed a chrome extension which replaced the banner ads on every website he visited with their own ads. I manually deleted the extension from chrome, but norton put it right back again after chrome restarted.

If you don't believe me, use performance counters and measure it. Your website runs way slower on your users' computer than you think it does.
