I suppose that technically it's a tax on the transfer of your assets after your death. But unless you have no assets at all, it's hard to die and not transfer your assets to anyone.
This is very interesting. The problem, of course, is that a single person can't get as much done as a team. At a certain point, many projects need to have more developers involved.

What do you think it was that made the Linux Kernel different? I assume there are leaders and social whatevers going on there.
Summarizing someone else's news is actually something people want.

Im also trying to improve the original article with more information and links.

I'd kill to have this in Go instead. Looks like it's a wrapper around libuv, shouldn't be hard with cgo. Hm, maybe another thing to add to the list.

Businesses will do business in any nation where they can make money, taxes be damned. Moreover, taxes are the price of doing business in a country -- if they don't want to pay taxes in a country they won't get to do business there either. Multinationals will focus on miniziming taxes where feasible, but taxes usually aren't the biggest costs on their books.

Thank you for your comment. So many people seem trapped in the media doublethink loop that they forget corporations will form anywhere you can make money from forming a corporation. Taxation is rarely a hurdle to starting a successful company and if you are relying on a very thin margin (say, about the size of the effective tax rate) you probably won't be successful in five years.

Sounds a bit like the android permissions model applied to the web. I wouldn't mind it, but I doubt many people would pay attention to these more than they would the permissions they ignore when they add apps to their phones, or when they add a new Facebook app.
Thats what I was thinking too. And Path was responding to something at the top of Hacker News, not a random email to one user!

However, the impression I got from that email exchange was not that they have great customer service and they really care about what he thought - it was that he hit on a really sensitive issue that they are super worried about and probably debate internally. Wouldn't surprise me at all if his email got directly forwarded to the top guys at FourSquare etc.

Nobody wants the kind of negative press Facebook has gotten over privacy and that Path, Hipster and everybody else who is doing this is probably about to get once the mainstream media catch wind of this...
That looks pretty great. I guess your approach only has a few downsides:

* you can only teach (I'm guessing) 300 or fewer students per year, so you can't really have the same reach as Khan

* your method costs orders of magnitude more (someone is paying your salary, and for facilities)

* you can only reach students who are physically near you

* students can only access this education on a very rigid schedule

I don't think your approach is bad, but I don't think you're really solving the same problem. How could you scale your method to teach the entire world for a few dollars per year per student?

I sincerely hope you're correct. The analogue to the Internet in Neal Stephenson's Anathem is hardly used. Only those who specialise in digging useful information out of the piles of autogenerated crud bother with it.
A very similar problem is plaguing Australian companies now. The downside to share-based compensation can outweigh the upside. For example, options would be taxed upon vesting rather than exercise, so there are immediate liquidity issues. Even those that are anti-dilutive for EPS purposes from the grantors perspective (e.g., underwater options) may be taxed.
If/then guards are better than commenting out code, so you can toggle debug at runtime, or hardcode a constant to get an optimized production build that skips the if-check.
"Seek time" as you are putting it is almost all the lateral movement of the read head (not the rotation).

Though what you're really going for here is "access time", which is "seek time" (properly defined as just the lateral movement of the head) + "rotation time" (what you call "locating of the file", which is actually just sitting there waiting for your 7,2k rpm to come around once every 4ms or so - rotating disks rotate at a constant rate, you can just do the math). A Western Digital Caviar Blue (random benchmark, I only know this because it was the last drive I bought) has a ~9ms seek time.

To recap:

Access time = seek time + rotation time ( + negligible other times, well under 10~100us)

Rotation time ~4ms (3ms for 10krpm)
Seek time ~9ms (supposedly ~4 for really high end drives)

Now this is just with the technology we have right now. I do not know enough about the constraints on hardware to know if they could push the limits. For instance, if the actual write (/read?) bandwidth could theoretically be higher, would it be possible to just rotate the disk faster and/or bump up the head seek time?

Handmade Jewelry|Homemade Jewelry
During my college years in New York, I made a lot of earrings. My friends always asked me why I didn’t sell them. It was long before the internet and I wasn’t ready to set up shop on a street corner, so I never sold the earrings. The years went by and work took me away from jewelry making.
Yes, this is a very big problem especially for startups.

Ex: Let's say I set up a nice startup that receives attention from an investor who purchases a 10% stake in my company for a million dollars. My company is now worth 10 million "marked to market". So I will need to pay tax on the appreciation of my 90% stake from next to nothing to 9 million when I haven't actually earned a single buck!

Badly thought out article in my opinion. This move is practically untenable.

I don't know, there seems to be a lot of people here disagreeing. I agreed with most he had to say. I speak as someone who did exactly what he is describing- worked at huge company doing a pinhole role and going to a start-up doing end-to-end full stack (including DB stuff!) application. My technical skills were there but there was still a very big learning curve for all the frameworks out there. Especially since at large companies there is a lot more homegrown stuff and legacy infrastructure and at start-ups there is a ton of reliance on opensource. I agree that his statement only makes sense if they really have a lot of applicants then they can chose to be picky and maybe pass up top-talent like that until they get their feet wet. The flip-side of that coin is losing out on the opportunity, but again it only makes sense if all applicants are top-talent and they only need to choose between them.

CPU is a better proxy for utilization than RAM, no?
CPU uses far more energy than a RAM, and I can write a low CPU web cache in 12GB RAM or a high CPU scientific simulation in L2 cache.
Doesn't Go have it's own asynchronous I/O system built into the language runtime? I was under the impression that Go has I/O multiplexing w/green threads similar to Haskell. So when you write socket.read(), it will be put into an epoll/kqueue behind the scenes and a co-operative green thread switch occurs. This way you don't have to write dirty I/O callbacks like in Node.js or Boost.Asio but you get the same effect with neater code.

So if Go has this feature, using libuv would not only be useless, it would be harmful because it doesn't play nice with the language runtime w.r.t. parallelism.

I think that writing asynchronous parallel code should be done by the compiler and the runtime, not by the coder. Node.js code is a mess of callbacks that have to be written in continuation passing style by the user. Haskell (or Go?) code that has the same effect is written like regular imperative code, which is transformed into Node-style callback code by the compiler and multiplexed by the runtime. Compilers are excellent in doing this kind of transformations.
It's fine; there's nothing wrong with referencing something that's been successful elsewhere (Rack, etc.) and wanting to bring that to the PHP community.

It's the underwriters of the IPO that impose the lockout periods, not management. The lockouts apply to all pre-IPO shareholders (excluding shares explicitly included as part of the offering).

Lockouts may also include provisions that any early release granted to management or dominant shareholders must also be granted to all other parties on equal terms; that was true of the one lockout agreement I was subject to.

The legal System does make Sense, it's just too complex to be completely consistent.

Good lawyers are basically hackers of the legal System who work with (or around) These inconsistencies. Some use this power for good, others for bad ends.
The Go runtime already does that, it abstracts away the while asynchronous I/O for you.

What is your process for publishing new blog posts or editing an old one?
I am a bit wary of the introvert/extrovert labeling, but have bought the bought and decided to read through it. Playing the game, I'd say I'm an introvert, and to be honest, the cool thing about this is realizing that all I really need is time for myself. It doesn't really matter what happens or what the circumstances are, as long as I have a book or a computer or a pencil I'm pretty much happy in my own little bubble.

Because I used to love sharing what I discovered in that little bubble so much, I went through a phase where I learned public speaking, and also connecting to people. I usually do this one and one, but find it very easy to establish deep connections by actually cutting through the "bullshit". I then started a company, and had to put myself out there quite a bit more. Having had no real experience of social contacts before though (except these connections with I have to admit people pretty much far out there), I went far overboard, which came back to bite me. I think that is the biggest issue with all the "introversion" (not really thinking about reaching out to other people, maybe even not really thinking about myself as a person nor other people at all). I have no real concept of emotions, of how people could react, that people can do things that hurt, that you can do things that hurt other people, etc... I am now 30, I still believe that people are fundamentally good, but I see the shades of gray in their actions. That's stuff that more "extrovert" people probably learn at age 15.

The older I get the more I realize that I actually need social contact, at least a few times a week. And I'm definitely struggling with that very much. After that "getting out there thing", and running into a few quite hurtful things, I completely lashed out to the other side, going back to my hacking and art and what not, but actually actively destroying everything I produce (unless it's for a client) so that other people won't notice, and I don't feel the need to talk about it. It's a hard habit to get out from. And I still don't actually know if it would be better for other people to notice, or if being the submarine in a society where most people you notice are actively craving for recognition. Recognition feels empty, while being happy on your own is much more rewarding.

I hope that this book (it may be nicely written and founded, or just another substanceless self-help book) will instill a small spark of self-confidence by just putting a label on my behaviour. That never hurts.

Correct. Eric knows what he is talking about and is also a very inspiring speaker.

I think the whole suit took away from Eric's message. I remember the 5 Whys from Robert Scoble's interview with Eric Ries way back in April of 2010. In it, Eric is really raw, sincere and "himself".

Here is that video. I have moved the start time of the video to the section where Eric talks about the 5 Whys.

I'll accept the point that maybe hipster or path are not (yet) sifting through the data they obtained, however, sometimes startups go bankrupt and someone buys whatever assets are left over. Address data may get sold to a buyer with a different view of privacy. Servers may get hacked and data gets lost. Keep in mind that if you're using hipster/path you're not only risking your data but also the private data of anyone you have in your address book. It's one thing if friends of mine decide that they hand out their phone number, it's another thing if they decide to hand out mine.
This is a bad idea for so many reasons. People have to understand that the current trading price of a particular stock does not mean as much as they think it does.

Just because a stock is trading at price X at a particular time does mean that one can sell a million shares at price X. Thus if one has a million shares of that company, it is unfair to assume that they have X times a million of ready money. Thus, this tax is unfair and dangerous. It can easily cause a stock's price to collapse as an investor is dumping shares to pay the IRS.

Furthermore, it will probably cause more large companies to go private, which will result in great inefficiencies in our economy.

The problem here is that certain people are trying to think up some weird exotic tax which will satisfy the popular desire to tax the rich more fairly and yet leave those certain people untaxed.

As far as the supposed unfairness of the examples provided by the article that is caused by a loophole that happens at death more than anything else. It seems that when someone dies their heirs get to have a higher basis on their assets without paying any income tax on the asset gains. We can easily close this loophole without enacting new exotic taxes. You can simply make it so dieing does not result in increasing the basis, which is the logical thing to do anyways.

A better video with the 5 whys explained at 12:33, if your attention span permits it, is this one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p3vcRhsYGo&t=12m33s

Robert Scoble interviewing Eric Ries in April 2010 about The Lean Startup Principles. I watched the entire video, and the 2nd part (also on youtube).
Regardless of Jobs's and Ellison's intentions, they did avoid taxation despite accumulating large wealth. Furthermore, the people who inherit from them will not pay taxes over this accumulation of wealth, either. This could be a side effect, but it is a real effect.

It is possible to prevent the creep you are referring to, just decouple control from the wealth brought by the shares. After all, this is by design. You can distribute voting rights independent of the share of income. I realize one has to be intelligent about this, but I don't see how it is inherently impossible.

The good it brings is fairness. I am taxed on the wealth I accumulate, so should the others. Now, there are exceptions to this; e.g., very poor should not be taxed since that does more harm than good. Perhaps what is suggested in the article would also do more harm than good, but to me it looks like the harm can be prevented.
