Yes, it's possible: Google, for instance, did it not only after taking outside investment, but after it went public (in 2014, 10 years after it went public) https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/052615&#x2F

He could also himself shares with super-voting power, like what Facebook and Google have done.

Actually, why wouldn't the Epic's of the world just issue themselves shares with super voting power, like what Facebook and Google did. That would address the concern in his tweet.

One loophole is the step-up basis that applies when the owner dies. Not sure why that wasn't targeted instead (maybe because the current plan produces revenue more quickly?).

The stories I see, like https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/25/senate-democrats-push-for-bi... , says the tax on unrealized gains only applies to "tradeable assets." It doesn't seem like that would cov

That was only the initial tracking too, not the mixing, and probably some of the overdubs.

That trajectory seems believable over several years, but I thought people were talking over the last several months. (Also, I'd say even that trajectory is somewhat unusual, without something significant changing like a getting a degre

Interest rates have been low for long time though. Seems you need another explanation to explain the recent increase in resignations.

Can you clarify what "2x/3x salary increments" means? Are you saying people are tripling their salary? Or do you mean, like, 3x a normal (~3%) raise, or whatever?

Hmm, thanks for the inside perspective from VMWare. I can still believe things would be different at Intel, because of his long history there, and he seems pretty passionate about it (although maybe he seemed that way at VMWare too?)

<Why not both? meme> There is something to be said for threads that provide a few "bullet points" of the article. I would agree with the author when the threads get crazy long, or if the tweets don't encapsulate a singl

Noticed there are two other stories on the HN front page now featuring pop psychology: one on Kahneman's work and another by Dunning. I wonder if this news is part of the reason why?

by dsizzle 5y ago
Haha. (I had just come here to note one of the authors is the Dunning from the Dunning-Krueger effect -- I honestly didn't know anything about him, such as whether he was still alive!)

Yeah, it seems like they cherry-picked individuals who largely earned their wealth. I would think the bias might be opposite if the individuals they chose instead inherited their wealth.

You're just as likely to get the wrong prescription with an optometrist -- they're relying on your self-report after all -- except it's harder to correct, because you need to go and make another doctor appointment to have it

Your vision could change faster than however often you need your cornea examined or whatever. Or someone may not be able to afford a doctor's visit but know they need glasses (ignoring the question of whether it's right for people

Right, I was only talking about that 1 part. (Wasn't suggesting there's no use for optometrists!)

by dsizzle 5y ago
Not sure why vision checks require a doctor at all. In the end, they're just relying on your responses anyway: "What's better: A or B"? In fact, I'd go further and say it doesn't even require another person. I,

Pretty sure the percentages are not of "U.S. stocks" per se, but rather of stocks owned by U.S. households (the percentages by income add to 100% and obviously foreigners own some U.S. stocks).

by dsizzle 5y ago
Based on one of the links within that article https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/01/stocks-are-at-a-70-year-high... I think that by "U.S. stocks" they mean "stocks held by U.S. households", but

The article addresses that: he did in fact use British language patterns e.g. in his tweets.

What technique can lower the loudness of a sound at your ear without actually decreasing the intensity? Compression and appropriately applied delay can make a recorded sound seem louder -- are you suggesting AirPods do the inverse of that?

That's just stating that commercial ANC headphones aren't designed as hearing protectors, which is true enough, but that doesn't mean they don't protect your hearing compared to nothing. Here's a paper analyzing ANC

What variables are you referring to? It sounds like you are implying that ANC is just an illusion? Your eardrum/cilia/etc are either vibrating or not -- I'm not aware of any fundamental difference between that being due to ca
