Aren't vesting schedules typically quarterly incremental rather than everything after four years though? If that's the only evidence of him delaying his morality for financial reasons, I think that's pretty harsh.

I think accepting the situation for what it is also helps in other circumstances. E.g. you're in the gym and about to work very hard on a few sets. Just accept there's no getting out of it, and you have to do it. Then it's no

I'm not a great Chess player by any means, but I was good as a child. I've recently found Kingcrusher to give really entertaining youtube videos on it various games, e.g. he covers good GM matches or recently AlphaZero. His take o

Hah yeah. Extreme example: I make 1 gazillion "Moodle-coin". I sell you one for 1$. Oh snap, Moodle-coin is now worth a gazillion USD.

To be honest I'm more onboard with cryptocurrency, even though obviously there are way, way too many of them (Kanyre-West coin anyone?) becuase at least blockchain actually solves a very specific problem for bitcoin: decentralized peer

It's interesting how blockchain became so incredibly hyped though isn't it? Something to do with money (bitcoin) and some new technology perhaps? I wanted to find out what was going on, so I literally applied for a bunch of blockc

"kangaroo run" certainly seems like a good description of the running technique the Apollo astronauts used to move around.

Makes sense. If you're a moderately successful individual to go to Harvard, then if you make a decision to drop out to improve your circumstances then it's probably for a good reason, e.g. a good business venture. Similarly that&#

Makes sense. I am, and I'm sure many other people are too, guilty of modifying how risky and brave a story is afterwards. E.g. "I turned down these job offers to risk it all for this one venture" when in reality the other job

I'm no physicist, but it seems the intuitive reason countersteering works is because when you turn, e.g. left, your center of mass also moves left because you need to lean left in order to turn. So if you turn left on your own this wil

I suspect running will similarly be difficult in a low gravity environment: proper technique in running is basically falling forward and your legs moving to continually prevent it. Without gravity to fall forward, it's probably very ha

Does anyone know what proportion of those who drop out of Harvard to make their own companies actually succeed? I suspect we only hear of the success stories of Gates, Zuckerberg, etc. But it would be interesting to know the facts.

I often think that a mind that wanders is a bit like the physical sensation of pain. In general, it is actually a very useful evolutionary advantage to experience pain, as well as to have a mind that can contemplate multiple possibilities,

I went to Bletchley Park a couple of years ago. It's a very fascinating place. I remember hearing stories of code breakers who could infer that a piece of plaintext was all JJJJJJJJJJJ simply because, upon looking at the ciophertext, i

Sure, I agree that "mass exodus" is ill-defined. I have nothing to back this up, but I think we can both agree that it is extremely unlikely Cambridge Analytica really has anything to do with the teenagers preferring Snapchat to F

Thanks for answering. I think we're going a bit off-topic here though. The crux of what I'm getting at is, do you think that you should have the right to moderate the content on your own platform that you built? Or should the gove

I understand the concern here on HN. However, what do we propose to do? At the end of the day, these are private companies and they can enforce whatever arbitrary guidelines they want within the laws of the countries they operate in. E.g. i
