You miss the point :)

I don't think it's helpful to others to go clubbing, in fact it's not an activity I'd do myself if I had that much money (nor would I waste money on a car).

My point is that the $20k can't help someone as much as you can personally.
I was impressed with how long the first stage kept going with all that happening up above.

I am toying with the idea of "startup as a service" meaning taking care of anything that is on a startup checklist. That is, taking care of things like incorporation, hosting, even tiny amounts of seed money (a few hundred dollars) so that in this case rather than hitting up family, a 19 year old founder can fail fast anywhere in the world by just building and trying to get traction on our "startup as a service" platform. In other words, making it absolutely, positively, free to start a startup and start getting customers. (With ourselves as investors if it starts getting traction, or, of course, they are free to move off of our platform if they want.)

The idea is that nothing should come between a founder and the idea/MVP. Nothing. my ideal cofounder would have considerable experience with legalities, experienced regarding terms (since it's our model), and potentially on board for this as a future source of dealflow (i.e. someone who wants a source of investments personally would be a match as well.). hit me up if you'd like to have this conversation.

Things that scale to 10,000 founders:

-> Incorporation process with standardized terms

-> Docker containers with hosting (that we host) that we can look into and judge actual traction (to keep founders from wasting any time whatsoever on a seed round, no matter how disconnected they might be - traction unlocks it automatically, they should just build, build, build)

-> collective service agreements on behalf of all our founders, so that we can take care of service integrations. For example giving all our founders stripe integration so they can start billing for whatever they put up.

-> Basically everything that can be taken off of a startup checklist, when someone is first starting out and doesn't want to be distracted for weeks with business and service arrangements that are not about building product!

-> Streamlining a PR process by having key contacts get a steady stream of stories of traction by our founders.

Do you still have a copy of that script? Would love to look at it.
That's not hard at all in NoScript. It might seem hard for non-technical users, but I doubt they could manage NoScript well anyway.
Unions are somewhat dependent on their members having skills, and cornering the market on that set of skills. If you can't keep the people that have the set of skills that you are unionizing around inside the union, then you can't expect much success.
The way that women (for instance) are treated in tech forums is frequently outright abusive. My anger at that is not a talking point, it's real. And your last two sentences are the equivalent to "it's not a problem, tough it up", which is a big part of how things got this bad in the first place.

The number of women in technical roles today at Facebook is 15%, at Google it's 17%. A similar figure from, say, IBM in the 1980s would be 35-40%. The genetic predispositions of women have not changed in the last 30 years, the difference is cultural.

You feel that the way you'd like things to be is under "near constant attack". Good. Because the status quo in tech culture is far from meritocratic, and people who defend it clearly don't realize how much damage it's done, and how much talent we've wasted on its account.
Hm, now that I think about it and watched Ray Kurzweil talking about technology evolution and human's brain evolution, he pointed out that entire nature is hierarchical and our brains evolved hierarchical pattern recognizers. So, the hierarchy is inherent within our ways of thinking...
But we are hardwired to develop thinking in more abstract ways compared to previously build abstraction levels. Hence, maybe we will build on top of our current hierarchically based way of thinking and be able to go beyond that frontier of limited, egoistic perception of reality. And possibly such teal organizations are just a tip of the emerging consciousness level we're beginning to shift into as a spieces. Consciousness is not limited by the physicality of our World that imposes hierarchical structures on its matter...

I have a small disagreement with your first point. It can happen, and even more often there are no shares to borrow from your broker at all, but it's not "often" that way. Options trades are not brokered between two clients the way equities are. You're trading with a market maker, and that's true whether you're buying to open or selling to open. When a market maker sells you a put, the first thing he does is offload that risk by shorting the stock. He's not paid to take directional risk. And that put premium needs to cover the carrying cost of that short position, in addition to things like implied volatility, time value, etc.

You are right that you get leverage with options, but there is no free lunch.
So you would rather the billions of Chinese regress just so you can sleep well at night?

What is actually happening is good for them, and the majority of them will not side with you or even care how you sleep at night. There will always be casualties and exploitation of workers in China, but that's more due to corruption than it is to systematic underpayment of Chinese workers.

The median return is certainly lower, but the expected return at least should be higher. So most startup investments, and probably most startup investors will fail, but some will succeed spectacularly. The point is, if everyone who is interested in investing to eventually donate did so by investing in startups, their aggregate returns should be higher than if they invested in the S&P or whatever instead - so it's superior even if most of them end up with a negative return. (As opposed to when you're investing to fund your own retirement, in which case you don't so much care how others' investments go.)
The SEC is not going to care that you traded in your competitors stock unless you had inside information.
I had the opportunity to speak with some Bangladeshi labor organizers who help workers organize unions in the textile factories there. It sounds like they are doing some great work[0][1]. Organizers' salaries are apparently well under five hundred USD per month, and they are on the front lines of a struggle against the global wage race to the bottom and unsafe working conditions. There are some organizations I've worked with in the US that have connections with some of them, and I am strongly considering to these groups in Bangladesh.

The main question is whether or not this will simply lead to these jobs being pushed to even poorer countries with even lower wages -- though that would probably help those poorer countries.

You make a decent point, but I think you're being downvoted due to a mix of poor grammar and the unsupported (and rather blunt) statement, "He's wrong." Yes there is a greater benefit to buying a hybrid than the direct CO2 offset; however, I strongly suspect that no, that doesn't make it superior to the other options, so his main point stands.

The logic is not at all obvious. We are talking about large, publicly-traded corporations, and employees whose roles do not fall under section 16 guidelines. Their ability to influence the company's outcomes is somewhere between not material and nonexistent. Indeed, the law sees no reason to prohibit them from trading in their employers' securities. Why should they be prohibited from hedging their exposure? How are the shareholders harmed by this? It seems like an irrational response to a hypothetical fear, not sound logic. Especially since the only perfect hedge is found in a Japanese garden.
This is a good suggestion. OP could also mount /usr/ports, /usr/obj, etc. via NFS from a dedicated build machine, and just pkg_add the built packages from /usr/ports/packages/, or 'make install' precompiled errata from /usr/src/. Having a dedicated build machine also keeps all the build dependency stuff contained elsewhere, and makes it easy to update multiple machines.

To get filled in a little bit more on the background.
There's a crisis-pregnancy center a block from where I live (in Saint Louis, Missouri, USA). I do volunteer work there, and one of my friends is their director of child-care:

https://www.ourladysinn.org/

They do great work helping poor women in Saint Louis and their already-born children through difficult times. In addition to food, shelter and other basics, they provide professional counseling (many of their clients struggle with drug addiction) and try to help their clients get a solid footing with respect to employment and a safe place to live after they finish the program (about six weeks to several months after their child is born). Great attention is given to making sure the clients' children get to school on time, do their homework and are being given proper care.

I know the organization to be extremely thrifty – nothing goes to waste and they are very careful regarding how they spend money donated to the center. The organization also owns and runs a couple of resale shops in the same neighborhood, where many of the clients take their first steps (or first steps in awhile) carrying out job responsibilities, working under a manager. All proceeds from those shops flow back into the crisis-pregnancy center.
Where I'm sitting, in SF, I see an industry of upper middle class people who are more "wealthy" than "not wealthy." Now, there are plenty of people with paper-money options and below market salaries (which are still above $100k unless you're a masochist), but mid+ level engineers who are willing to work in a company with liquid or semi-liquid equity and that is doing alright for itself are having no trouble, even in todays insane real estate market.
Doing tooling in China and then shipping the molds to NA is the common way to do injection moulding in NA. After that injection moulding is so automated that the labour cost to run a machine isn't that high. That said, I've yet to have a NA injection molder beat out the ones we use in Asia.
hello,
In my opinion, I think a) and c) would be the beginning of a solution. but B) not really because I honestly think EU is a "joke" since Germany is the reason why it still exists (economically speaking of course). I believe Greece should get out of the EU, and inject money in its economy through some quantitative easing. I know it will cause the money to loose its value but it might be meaningful if the greeks could produce greek and consume greek maybe live in autarchy for a couple of year why not ?? But the only thing I see is that the solution will not come from the EU and for investors, let's be honest, they re nowhere near recovering their full investments.

I find the differing syntax between function and variable storage to be interesting. Is there any particular reason these aren't unified? Assuming anything in brackets is a first-class "function" object, something like this should be possible:

2 /two define
{ two add } /addTwo define
That's right, and Rust bans that. The definition of "concurrently" typically means "without synchronization in between". An atomic access is by definition a form of synchronization.
The public schools I attended were far more economically, culturally, ideologically, and ethnically diverse than both my private college and post-college work environments (and you can throw in gender diversity too wrt my work environments). I would not have met kids like this otherwise -- certainly not if I had been in a homeschool group socializing with the children of parents who had similar philosophical views about schooling.

Public education is certainly in need of big reforms, but I'm grateful for the diversity I was exposed to attending one. It's a big part of what keeps me grounded in the ridiculous Silicon Valley bubble.
Edited to add one source, but there's a lot of literature on the subject, from Prof. Lynn to James Watson (Double helix discoverer), and William Shockley (transistor con-inventor): just look up the Wikipedia articles in them before these posts get whited out by the PC police here
1) It's extremely difficult to reason about (DNS -> DNSSEC) in terms of a DDoS considering how many security protocols assume NTP exists.

2) I'm not, but this was posted 18 months ago, so I'm just thinking about the "global discussion" in general.

3) The fundamental argument Vixie is making is about tradeoffs. The impossibility of global SAV is an argument in favor of the difficulty of widely deployed RRL. It is an argument of spending the effort on something that might be accomplished.
>If you are looking for someone to launch your assets into orbit, who do you choose?

The first thing you do is be very glad that you have a choice. Then you can start price shopping. If there is only one domestic option, then you either pay what the sole-source wants, or you pursue international options if those are available to you, many times they will not be.
That concept is about efficiency.

It's all relative. ~3/4 of the default whitelist is google, yahoo, mozilla, microsoft, cloudflare. While technically, your "thousands of javascript files" is true, in reality, it's making the problem sound bigger than it is.

Those 5 organizations have easier ways to attack you than rely a relatively little used extension to a relatively little used web browser. And attacking any of those 5 organizations is no easy feat.

Firefox + NoScript is still one of the best bang for the buck security improvements any ordinary user can make. Is it foolproof? heck no. Will it stop even a brainless script kiddie intent on hacking you? Not necessarily. But it will eliminate a number of drive by attacks.

Though I disagree with some of the logistics of this comment (like paying yourself or 'earning' a car), I agree that sometimes what people need are more people, not money or handouts or programs. There are some problems that can't be solved just by throwing money at them. Time and commitment are valuable resources as well. There are lots of people willing to donate money towards a cause. But how many would, say, foster a kid? That's a huge time commitment and an emotional commitment as well. It's also riskier on your end because you open yourself up to all the heartache that human relationships can bring.

It's weird how so many commenters here seem obsessed with this utilitarian "greatest good for the greatest amount of people" approach to charity. Option A gives clean drinking water to 1000 people. Option B adds a drop in the bucket of funding for breast cancer research. Option C helps one child escape a life of violence on the streets. Who are you to look at these and try to quantity which has done the greatest good? It's one thing to compare the effectiveness of programs in achieving their own goals, it's another thing to try and rank totally different humanitarian efforts. These types of things can't be quantified.

>For most people, the proper devaluation is going to be 100%.

The author argues, correctly, that exchanging stock for its current market value is a good deal. I agree (and I also agree with you that there is extra risk from having your own company's stock). But from none of this does it follow that we should discount stock units by 100%. That is like saying that an offer of $100 with 50/50 odds, would be worth 0, or would be worth zero if the coin toss was correlated with some life event.

I think the problem with your reasoning is that you are treating risk as a concept of independent importance, while it is really a derived concept, with the fundamental concept being the utility from a probabilistic cash flow.

>It's simply not correct that demanding cash is not an option. It's a business negotiation; anything is an option. You may not get all, or even any, of what you want, but categorically refusing to ask for it is seldom a winning strategy.

Having been involved in these negotiations and seen people's salaries and stock grants (through legitimate means), I can say that trying to get more base salary is really hard, and not worth the time. Even if you got more salary, it would come at the cost of so much less stock that it wouldn't be worth it.
This subject is very interesting to me. If I understand correctly, if I mail you more than you send me (us being countries), I thus collect more money on stamping. We balance it by me paying you terminal dues (rated against my local costs). By lowering my shipping costs internally, I can also lower my terminal dues -- if it is within my control -- to you and thus also improve my exports.

This is potentially a double negative for you, 1. if you labor or other costs are higher, you lose more, 2. your carriers try to make up for it by increasing your outbound shipping costs, affecting your exports

Instead of doing real-cost rebalancing, the "fairness" balancing, is susceptible to be pulled down to zero and runs the risk of a disconnection with labor, energy and environnement costs. Further, this type of market mechanism favors a runaway dynamic ie. if a country ships a lot, it gets even better and better for them, as they develop economies of scale.

Sounds like whatever made the multi-stamp system too complicated before 1969 might now be feasible with technology, as it may have been the more market-true, and thus future-proof approach.
