That can't be right, it must already be an inflation-adjusted number. My parents bought their most recent house in ~1970 for $30K, and that was a bit above the median for the area.

Helium is quite difficult to contain. It's the smallest elemental molecule (yes, smaller than hydrogen, even though it's heavier) so it can slip through the tiniest of pores.
It's fairly arbitrary, but there is at least one constraint on how much you can liquidate: You cannot liquidate much more than 10%, because you're taking money from the company and investors would not appreciate that.
Most people who work in tech aren't what would consider "tech" workers, but they are still part of the tech sector.
> It was simply a disagreement.

Ok great.

Then that means that any complaints from Elon about selling out are completely invalid, and it makes no sense for him to be mad about such a simple disagreement.

> Now he can move on with his life.

That would be wonderful.

Unfortunately you were the person arguing that it was somehow deserved for him to sue.

It is not deserved because he was the one who cause them to sell out to Microsoft.

That is the point.

The point is that you can't directly cause the supposedly bad action to happen, and then claim that you have been morally wronged when someone gets funding elsewhere.

If you think that it was merely a disagreement, then fine. Your previous arguments are invalid where you try to claim that this is some huge sellout situation, when it is directly Elons fault.
Forth was the sweetest thing in fixed length machines 60 years ago. When everything is one word, you can assign unique symbol for that word and keep those symbols in separate file (aka paper tape). Some Forth primitives were also machine primitives, like INC [SP] or "++", increase the number at top of stack.

Basically every supermarket has a laminated aisle guide hanging somewhere that tells you what is where - snap a pic of one of them and use that for training.
Yeah, but to be fair this type of behavior is a real liability. Where would you draw the line of acceptability? Bill Clinton was impeached for very similar things…
This looks like it could be a really great tool. I was excited to try it, but unfortunately the app is pretty unusable for me on Ubuntu. It has been frequently crashing with "an unhandled error has occured". When it's not crashing, it seems to be running at 5-10 FPS. It also seems to be hogging CPU, with some WebKit process running at 250+% CPU.

This is just a preview, so I'm hopeful the developers can work these issues out. Judging by their website, I could see this being a useful tool!
No, although it could also be cashless.

Early exercise is purchasing shares before your options vest, making you a shareholder sooner and solving a bunch of tax issues. The company retains the right (basically the obligation) to repurchase any unvested shares should you leave the company before fully vesting.

I wonder if Texas, especially around Dallas, is settling into a pattern that'll work well. If you have enough land, that is. Instead of single big city with dense downtown surrounded by progressively less dense housing, there are multiple cores. Smaller cities, close enough that their suburbs mix. On the surface that does seem more workable than building mega-cities.
I don't disagree. In the case of Thurston Rush, what he did was absurdly negligent, in multiple instances across a long stretch of opportunities to simply do basic due diligence with testing and redesign. For whatever reasons of his own, he didn't and died horribly along with those others.

My wider point was more about how in certain fields, those who strive for certain achievements often do similarly risky things and only get called out if there is a catastrophic failure. If they succeed, they're often lauded. Also, in some areas it really is impossible to avoid mistakes, and those who get criticized for making them are often only those who got unlucky instead of actually negligent. This doesn't apply in the case of Titan though, since he made multiple glaring mistakes that he could have corrected and was urged to do so by known experts in parts design.
It's the "spiral" part (i.e. self-reinforcing vicious process).

Dense cities allow employers to get access to a larger pool of workers, giving them a competitive advantage. This in turn makes cities more attractive for workers. Since land area is conserved and people won't commute for much more than 30 minutes, it means cities have to increase the density.

This in turn makes cities more attractive for employers, driving the demand for housing even higher.

Rinse, wash, repeat.

> That may sound like hyperbole but that is the end result of NIMBYism and illiberal land use policy.

There is literally no city in Japan, US or in major EU countries that managed to build its way out of high housing prices. Not a single one.

Some quality of the case was detrimental to him, either in outcome or perception and in a wiser moment he got advised to stop and did.

Capriciousness will recur. He's sure to do hyperbolically stupid things again a la "pedo man" and, will suffer the recurrance of "under advisement, walk away" outcomes.

I very much hope the Tesla shareholders succeed in ousting him and some degree of rationality returns to the company. It looks like all it takes is withholding his dope stash money, so keep blocking the $45b guys, he'll walk away. And the company, being $45b better off overall, will not suffer.
That’s not really true. Insurance companies use intercompany eliminations to bypass the rules. Look at United Healthcare’s record-breaking profit.https://www.axios.com/2021/07/16/unitedhealth-optum-provider...

Having been a key early employee at a failed startup, horseshit.

The employees bear the burden too, if they're working their asses off at an early stage startup they believe in the cause just as much. Viewing founders as somehow magically special is a symptom of the broader misguided hero worship the US has right now.
These are all the same reasons to like Elixir.

For anyone that hasn’t tried writing Elixir style code with the pipeline operator should definitely check it out. It’s fun to iterate in the repl too, since you can build it sequentially without adding braces for nesting calls.
Having cofounded both bootstrapped and funded startups, I can say that in each case there was a deadline associated with success: for bootstrapped, we set hard targets in terms of maximum spending and time in order to test our hypothesis. This allowed us to fail fast in our own way and go back to a better paying day job.

For funded startups - at least with a healthy seed round, the investors expected us to burn fast and hard in order to prove our hypothesis or fail trying as quickly as possible, but they also expected us to not pay ourselves very much. As we found product-market fit and raised Series rounds, it was understood that we would pay ourselves competitive salaries.

Being stuck at the seed stage for 10 years is not healthy - neither in Europe, nor in Silicon Valley.
I guess I’ll look for a $10 gift card after the class action a decade from now.

TBH I doubt the median eng salary, all levels combined, is $250k to begin with, it's got to be lower than the average, right? But I maybe I'm just not informed.
The only intuitive user interface is the nipple.
The very first startup I joined after grad school allowed all employees to cash out significant chunks of their stock in the Series A round.

Also Elon famously put 200 million of his own money into Tesla and SpaceX to keep it afloat, which is the opposite of cashing out early.
The usual problem of late on HN is people commenting without upvoting, even if they like the article.

On this post, I started reading, then paused to hurry back and upvote on HN, to do my part to keep it from falling off the front page, before I returned to finish reading.
VCs will go along with or sometimes even encourage founders to take a little bit out, but employees rarely don’t have the same level of bargaining power.
In your thousands of free services, how do you resolve conflicts in edits done on multiple devices?
Work a high salary job and buy lottery tickets or 0DTE options instead. Half joking. Look at the success rate of outlier comp through liquidity as an early startup employee. If professional stock pickers can’t pick better than index funds, what makes you think you can do better picking startups, spending non renewable time, working for years vesting common shares that you might get liquidity for eventually, assuming they have any positive value.

If you want to get wealthy, there are more efficient, less effort ways. If you want to suffer with low chances of success based on all available data, well, help yourself to the firehose of startup jobs.

YES!

That's exactly the right model. Sparse cities with distributed industry.

Houston (Greater Houston Area) is another such example. It's geographically huge, but most commutes are fairly short. This allows Houston to have faster commutes than NYC, despite having a comparable population, and VASTLY better living conditions.
That's beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Clarifying question; did you take a pen and make it blank, or did you turn a pen blank on a lathe? I gather it's the second, since the project was to have everything hand made.

I doubt most people know that prepaid exists and is extremely cheap, that they can easily port over their number to any carrier (required by law for a long time), or that they are using a small fraction of their "unlimited" data.

My $25 prepaid plan comes with 16 GB of data, I don't even bother to use wifi on short trips. I used to manage my parents' plan, sometimes they barely use one GB a month.
I did a quick sampling of a few different levels at the largest employers on levels.fyi and didn't notice any significant drop at a given level. It could be that there's less senior level openings/hirings, which could lead to the drop in average. I am also not sure how objective / comprehensive the data from "woman impact tech" is, since they seem to be more of an advocacy group (with a mission that includes "We’re here to achieve equity in tech"), even though I can't imagine why they would bias their data one way or another.
What would this even look like? An 83b election is something I file with the IRS. Are you suggesting a company might have me sign a contract committing me to not file an 83b election?

How would they ever find out if I did file, and why would they care?
Sure, but if you’re only reason for taking the phone is for the camera, it’s not on the same par as a dedicated camera with a decent sized lens and sensor (esp. in low light), and compacts fit in most pockets.

Or you could just... use the graphical frontends that have been available for decades now? I wasn't daily-driving 20 years ago, but I can personally tell you that 15 years ago Ubuntu was perfectly good as a Windows replacement, including being able to use it through the GUI. Successive iterations may well have improved things, but even then Mint and pop-os are built on top of Ubuntu, which is in turn on top of Debian, and every year more of their improvements move upstream.

Not a restriction of the 83b election but a restriction of when you can exercise. Without early exercise you are stuck exercising as you vest so there’s more likely to be a taxable spread between your option strike price and the value of the stock. With early exercise you are exercising and making the 83b election when there’s no taxable spread.
What command would that be? The only way I would know to fix a broken Arch box is to manually fix whatever went wrong, not reboot -> select the previous generation in the bootloader -> done.
Depends on how we define "fine," but your own post clarifies that it was "website passwords -- but not app passwords, secure notes, certs, or keys." That's a pretty big difference compared to "all passwords" and seems like it affected a small number of people. In any case, if we're using anecdotes, I haven't had any issues with it so far and it's been decades. Given how 1Password has been getting shittier over time, I've been looking for an alternative, and I for one am going to give this a shot. You can check in with me in a few more decades and ask me if it went okay.

$1-$2M after 6 years of working at $100k isn’t really much either in the Bay. (Which is the only place you’d get that.)

Even that averages to a senior Eng salary for the very very few founders who get there.

This has to be tempered by other realities
- no social life
- working 80 hours a week easily
- risking personal finances
- health problems
- good chance of divorce

Starting a company is no joke.

Very few get to series B/C.

The fact remains that sweat-equity deals rarely work out in a founding employees favor.

i. IP selloff to umbrella firm for $10

ii. contract restructuring or share dilution

iii. jettisoned from a company months before an IPO

Most techs have seen all of these events unfold... if you are around long enough.

People always have their own strategic truths once significant money is on the table. Even moderate success can destroy peoples memory, and anything not legally watertight is just hot air.

Elon Musk has auto-blocked many people from Apple
I'm hesitant about embracing passkeys. I think passkeys are poorly implemented at this point because of the inability to move them around like passwords - I don't want to be locked in. But I don't think what he is explaining is forcing an automatic upgrade for passwords, he is explaining that it can happen at the request of the user or application prompt. Notice that the diagram - The user in the app requests to upgrade (sure, let's call it an upgrade) from a password to a passkey.
Are there special "password" copy methods that mark a clipboard element as such so your app could exclude that instead of relying on an apps list (of course if that other app would use this method)?
That's not quite how it works. Certain people are required (or strongly encouraged) to sell on a 10b5-1 plan. These plans can trade outside of open trading windows, but they have a meaningful cooldown period before they go into effect and can only be entered into during open trading windows. So it's not necessarily "better."
> Can you use this without iCloud? Can you avoid any iCloud involvement?

1Password supports passkeys. So yes, you can
Well if OP wants to share photos but also not have the distractions of social media, they’re back to muting notifications and relying on their own willpower to not open the apps. Most cameras have a dedicated app for image transfer and browsing, but of course it’s going to be a more clunky experience

You're not just "picking a startup". That early, you're also a big factor in whether it succeeds. Betting on yourself is different than buying a lottery ticket. (Maybe just as irrational for a lot of people, but still.)
> One of the problems with Apple is the industry seems to mindlessly ape their good and bad decisions.

That's hardly Apple's fault, but it is so annoying. Hardly any of my cables have proper reinforcement sleeves any more.

Apple started making awful cables that snapped at the plugs, and everybody else just copied them.
Yes, I am, but unfortunately I do not think I can provide any answers here. A quick internet search reveals some CVEs for nonce reuse.

If I had to, based on absolutely nothing but a gut feeling, guess, I'd think this may appear more frequently in IoT devices, where AES-GCM is attractive because of its speed, but randomness is sometimes in low supply?
I understand moderating discussion is extremely hard. I understand that it seems fair at face value for you to just enforce politeness and not enforce ideologies, but that's not actually possible. You are taking a side here, if you decide to censor me, and not the ideologies I'm arguing against.

I am not perfect and I should have been a bit more polite in some of the posts you link.

People post absolutely reprehensible opinions on this site, and a rational, reasonable response to those opinions is not politeness. The startup community is supportive of and participates in a lot of extremely harmful practices, and believes a lot of harmful ideologies. If espousing ideologies that are literally killing people is allowed by the guidelines, but pointing out how horrific those ideologies are isn't allowed by the guidelines, then the guidelines are effectively supporting those ideologies.

Take for example this post which you linked (I'm linking the post it was responding to):

> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40135978

The above post I 100% stand by. I think I said that about as politely as I think is possible; any more polite would be miscommunication.

If you consider that post a problem, I understand, but I'm not going to comply with that. If that's the case, please just delete my account and all my posts, and I won't attempt to create another account. I'd rather not be associated with a site that's protects reprehensible ideologies in the name of politeness.
In what way is "communism" a good example of what could happen with the US auto industry bailouts?
Yes because you can use 3rd party credential managers that use passkeys.

> Worth nothing that J. Michael Bailey was eventually fired from his post at Northwestern

He wasn’t fired, he is still there: https://psychology.northwestern.edu/people/faculty/core/prof...

You are misreading that article from 2011 (13 years ago). It doesn’t say he was fired, it says he was “under fire” - which is journalistese for “being publicly criticised”. The article also mentions the university administration was investigating the incident - I don’t know what the outcome of that investigation was, but obviously it didn’t result in him being fired, because he’s still there.

The astronauts definitely drew the short straw here.
I think the better option would be for Debian/FreeBSD (I spelled it without the k on purpose) to be most if not all of the FreeBSD base system with GNU layered on top - something like /bin as the FreeBSD binaries and /usr/bin from Debian and PATH=/usr/bin:/bin or so, and everything using the FreeBSD libc, again with glibc available but calling into the FreeBSD libc for actual syscalls (actually that might be how glibc does work on BSDs; I'm not familiar with that part of things). Basically, minimize the overhead and take as much of the FreeBSD base system as possible instead of trying to take just the kernel, which IMHO was always going to be excessively hard to maintain.
And so would be easy for you to refute, should you wish to contribute to the conversation.
The lack of export scares me too, but is it really a problem?

The article didn't discuss engineers at all.
Sprint was a technological wrong turn. They invested in the next generation platform on multiple occasions. Billions $ into WiMAX left them with a nonpractical and expensive footprint and no mid term speed benefits to really show. Then, after wanting to keep original CDMA infrastructure, they went LTE/GSM anyway. This period meant multiple modems and lower battery life. It was over with no great options.
