The e-ink patent is so frustrating. Another good example of a patent restricting innovation was the patent on 3D Printers. That's why in the past few years, 3D printers have become so much more prevalent and accessible (you can buy one

My company also does not have a 1 year cliff and it's wonderful. I switched a few months ago from a company that did. It was a farce how my old company, at the end of the year, would say your compensation for next year is $X but part o

Think of it this way as well, Robinhood's chief regulatory officer quits and gets hired as head of the SEC. Works as head of the SEC for a few years. Their tenure at the SEC ends and they jump right back to Robinhood. I have 0 doubt in

Lots of ways to value a company. Once you have the value of the entire company, the price per share just depends on the number of shares. Options are then calculated based on a formula using the price per share as one input. You can value a

Its not a good idea to allow heads of massive institutions to just hop around right after their tenure is over. For one, it creates a negative incentive for the regulatory roles. Now people will seek to be head of the SEC just so they can s

Exactly, imagine if they're margin is margin called. They don't have enough assets to handle abnormal (but not unlikely) swings. So they're forced to disallow types of trading. I'm surprised capital requirements aren&#x2

Alright, wsb has been waiting for this. Time to short (or buy puts) on Robinhood through Robinhood. Though Robinhood advanced 0 commission trading (though I think it was inevitable), it's a terrible platform.

If you're granted stock on a vesting schedule (even if its 1 year), doesn't it qualify for long term cap gains if you don't sell? So you only pay potentially long term capital gains. versus If you get cash, pay income tax on

I thought Netflix let you pick the exact split between cash and equity no? For example, for a 500k salary you could say, I want 200k cash, and 300k in stock

I'm not from levels.fyi but I think some reasons are * Its cheaper for the company than cash (stock is the company's currency, they can issue more of it, decrease the supply, use it as collateral in financing etc) * It can be bett

The price should include the cost of everyone who works at the business. Tipping is just a way for businesses to avoid having to pay their workers and instead pass that responsibility onto the customer.

Gotcha, yeah I know for sure twitter is allowing 100% remote. People will have the option to go to an office if they want at Twitter but there's no requirement or need to apply like what you're saying google is doing. Though, goog

Scott is a great speaker and does an incredible job at talking about and explaining a ton of cool ideas in functional programming and makes his slides in F# easy to understand and apply those ideas. Absolutely a great video and he has many

It lets us think like that despite it not being true. You need state to do anything useful. A lot of functional programming revolves around the idea of isolating impure aspects of a language from the pure parts. That's why we have Futu

If you get really technical, any program is impure as running the code has the side effect of increasing the temperature outside the cpu from running the program. That's a side effect. And running a program is going to change the tempe

Really well said. And if you really wanted to make it 'pure', you could easily write a hook with an explicit return type that wraps the type of the initial value. If you're using typescript, you can then limit the possible ty

I’m sure the parent author knows this But the beauty of hooks is as you say reusable statefull behavior. It also lets you treat your functional components more like a pure function in my opinion. If the hooks you use are poorly designed, th

Of course one can. Except for the fact that often people scapegoat their criticisms with a line like I'm not antisemtic, I'm just criticizing the government. Which typically comes just before an anti semetic comment is made. It&#x

I believe you, but too many people use the line, I'm not antisemitic, I'm just criticizing the government as a scapegoat to excuse obvious antisemitic behavior.

The best part is, when you need to do that across multiple files that you can find with a :grep or :Rg command, its trivial. Populate the quickfix/location with grep (or ripgrep or silver searcher etc) and fire off a cdo with a :s&#x2F
