My RSUs and total compensation has grown by 20-30% the last 3 years, despite my base salary only increasing 1-2%.

If that isn't exponential growth, idk what is.

RSU values compound.
Could you provide an example that illustrates the phrase, "It would take something radically capable to change that"?
That's almost a joke. I don't know what to categorize that as. It isn't a pun. What is that?
Do you have evidence of that? Things do change, and sometimes for the worse.

PE squeezing hospitals, nursing homes, and rent is a new thing. Look at rents - the inflation of them is not something that happened in the past.
We live in less than an ideal world though, we don't really get to dictate how practical the solutions to our problems are.

It is in a way what makes a problem truly a problem. Otherwise, "problems" would all just be different ways of being ignorant of the better way.
Highly agree with your comment, just wondering what you mean with "CRM pipeline to get a job"?
I live in a NATO country, less than 200 kilometers from the Russian border. I personally benefit from any and all military edge that the West has.
Don't hate the player, hate the game. Can't blame someone for trying to protect their wealth. A loophole is... a loophole. Close them, redesign the tax code. Lame to single out individuals in posts like this as though they are doing anything wrong.
If you want to buy a specific Steam game on discount, you can just add it to watchlist and get a notification when it has one.

If you want to buy some random games because they are discounted, you can just go to the corresponding section in the Steam store.

The point of the popup is to distract you from whatever you're doing right now to get you to make an impulse purchase, as opposed to a well-researched one. That's exactly how people end up with Steam accounts that have literally hundreds of never-played games in them.

> well, a more charitable take ...

One of the main reason the very few manages to ruin cities for everyone else is because of the charitable take.

In addition to that, just like GP, my experience is that the people being nuisance are really just stupid. I haven't seen many chess IMs nor many engineers destroying things the majority relies on just for fun.

There's zero reason to be charitable with dumb people acting evil and there's zero reason to attribute intelligence where there's typically close to none.

Using a computational fluids model like OpenFOAM is overkill for reasonable estimates of aerodynamic performance and stability, provided you stick to normal-ish designs. The term you want to Google is "vortex lattice" and/or "potential flow" solvers, of which there are many open source softwares available specifically geared towards typical aircraft configurations, with simple, easy to use interfaces.

Some good ones to look at to get started with nice guis

- VSP Aero

- XFOIL (for 2D airfoil analysis only, also generates inputs for 3D VLM solvers)

- AVL

And some others if you want perhaps a little higher fidelity, and don't mind text/code interfaces:

-FreeWake

- Datcom (not technically a potential flow models, but a database)

To get the most value out of these softwares, you will need some background in aeronautics. You need to have an understanding of what a potential flow models can and cannot accurately model. It also helps to have knowledge about what forms aircraft stability/control and performance data is typically communicated in, as these softwares will use that terminology.
Because it's a job for people who aren't good at math and science can do. It's great that people can be doctors and chemists and software engineers but people who don't have those kinds of smarts to do those things, still need to have jobs. UBI ain't happening, so without jobs that don't take an advanced degree, the people without them don't have jobs. Without a job, how're you going to survive under capitalism?
>I haven't been paying attention to the bullshit that is nth-richest person but how the fuck is someone worth that much and is only in 10th place? Wasn't it not too long ago that $127B would have been 1st?

This can entirely be explained by the performance of the broader stock market. In 2005 the the 10th person richest person had $18.3B. If you multiplied that by the total returns of S&P 500[2], you'd get $129.5B, which is actually more than how much Mr. Huang was worth.

Despite the fact that they manufacture work-wear, I'd hazard to guess that most of the "innovation" - like with any other apparel type - is in taste-making and branding rather than any improvement in work-wear materials or functionality, and the talent pool for taste-making is likely much stronger in Southern California than Forth Worth, TX.

The consolidation probably means they'll just add most of the Dickies brand workload to the existing employees in Southern California rather than hire/transfer 120 workers there. So a net reduction in labor costs and elimination of real estate costs, despite moving to a higher CoL area.

The irreplaceable thing DE brings is the Chancery Court. No better venue for contact cases. Chancellors are very knowledgable, and no nonsense.
The law does not define what is ethical. Of course you can blame somebody for trying to hoard an unreasonable amount of wealth. As George said, we live in a society.

This spending comes from my personal pocket and does not even create any tax relief. I just think that Open Source is important and want to efficiently support it.
This nation was literally founded on a desire to give the middle finger to the tax man.

Ethics is a very subjective thing. I disagree with your take.
You don’t need a big city. A train station, a taxi service or local public transport, and maybe a car rental for the infrequent occasions where using a car makes sense is generally sufficient. Especially with e-bikes nowadays.
I was not asking a question.

Half a million dollars a year is a lot of money even in the expensive cities.

If you make that much and don't save a significant part of it, you're rather lacking in foresight. Go talk to the people earning five times less who live in the same city!

The funny thing about this investigation is that I don't think you could actually recycle plastic cups with air tags stuck to them anyway. Plastic recycling is somewhat delicate & precise, so the electronics & non compatible plastics in air tags would probably foul things up.

I'm not convinced there's much benefit to trying to recycle single use plastic containers anyway. We should be reducing their use, but as long as they end up in landfills instead of waterways, it's not too bad - the carbon will remain sequestered there until either future generations reprocess it or the earth turns it into oil over millions of years. In theory you could recycle all types of plastic via pyrolysis (less so for PVC), but it's expensive & inefficient & you still end up losing material & likely releasing CO2. I did some reading on it a few months ago & came to the conclusion it's probably better to pyrolize organic material & just bury the waste plastic for now. (Pyrolysis of wood, organic waste, etc. can produce chemical feedstocks & fuels & still be carbon negative if it's run on solar/nuclear b/c of the bio char fraction).

The biggest harms around plastic pollution come from the fishing industry, mass dumping in 3rd world countries, & shady international "recyclers" who end up dumping the plastic or burning it in open air.
Can't find a paper on the subject, but the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) has a promo video which shows off (what they claim is) a proof of concept device. So the team seems to have some serious money and influence behind them:

https://www.adsadvance.co.uk/university-of-bristol-and-ukaea...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgGVt4sUnnw

Then since batteries are in demand, cheap ones doubly so, and ones that don't rely on rare Earth minerals from Chine triply so, they should have a wide market to tap into to make them profitable. Then also, as the UK is a NATO country, an invention like this could reasonably be argued to be a national security issue, which implies (very lucrative) government contracts.
I was literally just looking for something like this today, so thanks!

Regardless of your position on the current tax code, I think most would agree it's a dick move for the government to prosecute someone for something that they previously said was legal.
It's Elon Musk throwing around his power, this time trying to destroy Delaware courts because they ruled against him. The message is: If you challenge me, I'll attack you, no matter who you are.

I would say that in most parts of the world safety is an illusion and the police or special agencies are not as ready for special situations outside the typical script.

I will tell a story that is about robbery in Japan in the context of the Boca Juniors vs. Real Madrid [1].

They're probably just confident in their ability to mentor. A lot of jobs just aren't that hard. Many people struggle to accept this about their own line of work because they think it undermines their intelligence. Find smart people (or middling with a great work ethic) that are easy to work with. Iterate.

The place I buy honey is run by an older woman in Vermont who owns a lovely apiary. I've visited and seen the process, she's fantastic, her product is delicious, and it's as real as it gets. They're 4th gen family owned, so they really know what they're doing and it's all about the bees, the honey and their reputation.

Plus the honey is so delicious. When I visited she gave me this little container of the foam that collects on top of the raw honey. It was delicious, I ate a little spoonful of it every day until it ran out.

I don't work for them, I don't get money from them, I'm just an enthusiastic long-term customer.

> I’ve always had incremental happen with language-native tooling like `go` or `cargo`

That makes sense, but for me, Make is incredibly useful for incremental file processing outside of programming. I've written tiny Makefiles that use glob patterns to batch-convert thousands of SVGs into PNGs and WebPs, but only for the modified SVG files. I've used Make to batch-convert modified LaTeX files to PDFs and render modified Blender projects into WebM videos for the web. Rendering videos is very time-consuming, so only rendering modified video files is a huge win.
Seems tautologically true to me. Culture covers a lot of ground. Like saying "cities have a lot of people for urban reasons".

Why would anyone be confused about this? The first sentence of the article reads:

"The workwear apparel brand Dickies is moving its headquarters from Texas to California."
+1 that.

Also, it seems like one of the popular ways to make money with crypto is this sort of "pump and dump" scheme, and so the "investors" should have been aware of the pattern at least.

Really sorry this happened to you! I don't really have an immediate solution for you, my own experience tells me you're unlikely to get the account unlocked any time soon. That said, my story did have a happy end eventually: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36335975. There were other reports that 2 years might be a magical amount of time before they let you back in. Not consolation right now, I know, but maybe better than nothing.
Maybe, but the American tax system seems unreasonable complicated and trickable with its 'charitable foundations' and 'Donor-advised funds'. I think it's rather defeatist to think it's impossible to make a better and less exploitable system.

Of course, we are now entering the time of open oligarchy, so it probably won't happen soon.

I’ve been using ClearSpace and it cut down my screen time by about 40%. I’m a fan of the Strict Mode which basically completely blocks you out of the apps you want for X number of hours.
summary: this is an article about:

“I Dig It” trusts

GRATs

Private Foundations in combination with Donor Advised Funds

interestingly this article has no evidence of an “I Dig It” being used by Huang, which is an overly complex and unnecessary strategy to limit taxes, when it does have evidence of the Private Foundations and Donor Advised Fund being used, at far greater values and is a far simpler way of having tax exempted gains and tax deductions.

There is also a GRAT being used, which is also more complex than necessary.

PF + DAF is all you need

It would have been interesting to see a very aggressive use of QSBS in action, as this would be even more tax free instead of tax exempt, but seems like a missed opportunity

There's already underwater powered trenching/laying equipment they use to bury the cables within X miles from the shore. The Baltic Sea is probably shallow enough to bury it all the way across at a higher cost per mile of course.
This happened to me back in ~2018 or so. I'm trying to think back to what happened and how it was resolved.

The only way I've ever been able to get decent support from googles help center is by calling and escelating the issue and then eventually getting to the right person via the email chain started following the call. Its a pain in the ass I know.

I *think* I ended up just having to get my phone replaced because it was the primary device that every other service relied on in the end for authentication(Google pixel & Google fi, Google TV, gmail, oauth, etc).

Also look in your recovery email for an email that contains a list of backup/recovery codes. I'm pretty sure they don't email these codes anymore and your prompted to write them down/save them elsewhere but worth checking.

Needless to say sibce then I do not use google for hardly anything other than the phone itself.
And you think airports are in the green energy sector, or air travel? What about the co2 released while making concrete? What about used captured co2 as a building material? Some credit for that?

A space in an otherwise 8.3 file name would still be treated as a long file name and get a ~1 shot name alias.
I write tests alongside the code. I also write tests before the code, and after the code.

Usually, I use test harnesses[0]. These generally start before the code, and grow, alongside.

I’ll frequently write unit tests, after the code is done. Sort of like putting solder over a tightened bolt.

But I tend to spend a lot of time and effort on testing. It’s my experience, that I always find issues. I’ve never once, written “perfect” code, out of the starting gate.

Eh. WFM. YMMV.

IRT the post topic, I believe that every job I do -even “farting around” code- needs to be done as well as possible. If I always do a good job, then it becomes habit.

This greatly understates the WIV's uniqueness here. Lots of groups study coronaviruses, but the WIV had the biggest collection of novel SARS-related viruses in the world. The proximal host of SARS-1 was found soon after the first outbreaks, but its origin in bats wasn't known until Dr. Shi discovered it.

The WIV had also proposed collaboration with UNC to engineer a virus structurally similar to SARS-CoV-2, a chimera of two novel sarbecoviruses with a human-designed FCS. This wasn't funded, but an unconfirmed leak claims the WIV continued this work alone:

> The investigators spoke to two researchers working at a US laboratory who were collaborating with the Wuhan institute at the time of the outbreak. They said the Wuhan scientists had inserted furin cleavage sites into viruses in 2019 in exactly the way proposed in Daszak’s failed funding application to Darpa.

The VAST majority of violent crime is not committed by highly prepared, practiced assassins. Gangbangers, abusive partners, drunkards... these are the big three, and surveillance tends to be fairly good at catching the first and third of those. If you shove someone off the platform on a NYC subway you'll probably be caught and easily identified.

The reality is that we witnessed an outlier among outliers, and no realistic system is spending their budget, time, tech or manpower on this kind of thing. The only agencies who regularly do engage in that kind of law enforcement are the FBI/DHS and the Secret Service.
Thanks. There is no ideal set of metrics for value, but some measurable ones correlate with it. The more reasonable inputs are accounted for, the harder it is to game the system.

The launch was technically pre-2009, yet Streetview meets my personal criteria.

Streetview was OK for many years, yet now borders on the miraculous.

The other day I virtually drove to Seattle just to see what the capabilities were and whether Google was capturing the downtown homeless encampment situation. Visited near Covid and the tent quantity was disturbing. Found out Seattle's response was to wall off the entire park downtown where homeless were gathering. [1][2]

However, far as Streetview, hundreds of miles of continuous highway where you can click yourself along the entire way to any location in America.

The week after, upon finding The Trace's - Gun Violence Map [3] I wanted to check whether East side Washington DC was really that much of a danger zone. Seemed difficult to believe right next to so much political money and visibility. Ended watching the Google car have a gun pulled on them in the rear view by drug dealers and watching a different Google car drive right into a police raid. Mission accomplished. East side Washington DC is kind of sketchy.
