As an anecdote, the company I work for has a 90-day window, but when we were bought out the options were taxed as regular income (it was on our W2) -- there was no favorable tax treatment.

A worse variant of this is when people use a name that their listeners wouldn't, e.g. using "Mom"/"Dad" with a non-sibling instead of "my mom"/"my dad", as in: "Dad is in the hospi

I'm American and I wouldn't do this, unless I had just introduced them. I assume the OP is referring to situations where the introduction of the names, if it happened at all, was a long time ago. In that case, I would argue the et

These masks are made in the US (as mentioned in the listing) and they're on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/NIOSH-approved-anti-counterfeit-packa... I bought some and they're pretty good.

Yep, and the costs is good summary of where the compromises balance out on average. Since urban areas cost more, it's fair to say people prefer urban areas more.

by dsizzle 5y ago
That survey didn't ask respondents to ignore price, so it's not simply revealing what they want. Urban areas cost more and this was presumably considered in these responses. Even if the responses were the same ignoring prices, I w

I got two pair of AirPod Pros replaced twice too. I wonder if OP knows about the defect and program that Apple will replace them? https://support.apple.com/airpods-pro-service-program-sound-...

This happened to me on two separate pairs (!), and Apple replaced them both for free. https://support.apple.com/airpods-pro-service-program-sound-... BTW, you mean AirPod Pro (not Plus).

When I read of someone dying prematurely, I actually find it reassuring if the person OD'd -- it's an identifiable cause that I can avoid in my life. Seeing people drop dead for no apparent reason causes me more anxiety! I can see

Yeah, the article is focused on what to do about it, not convincing you that it's true.

> Now it's true that they don't get into detail about the estimate That's one way to put it. I would say they declare it and offer no basis or detail whatsoever! I agree with your point that stating 70% vs some made up pre

by dsizzle 5y ago
Do you have a better estimate for the percentage? I share your skepticism because there's no source, and indeed the burden should be on the author of such an article, but you seem to be making strong unfounded statements yourself. Prob

I wonder if what people get out of the general advice literature is more like a reminder or motivation, rather than actual insight.

Right, and won’t the fancy private school count for more comparatively now?

Not simply "exempt", unless you're referring specifically to the trade window part. There is in fact a law making it illegal to trade on insider information. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STOCK_Act Argua

They do have to report their positions. Not sure if that's a "restriction" per se, but that is something that insiders have to do as well, and it's something retail traders do not have to do. If they are using insider in

Does refactoring down to nothing in F# make you a better programmer in other languages? That sounds like you just like programming in F#.

by dsizzle 5y ago
Right, but I mean it's a notebook-based language/environment so they seem hard to uncouple. Just looking at the link I posted it seems a little complicated. Have you used Mathematica in a team situation?
