There was a HN discussion ten days ago [1], where several people including myself were suggesting 83b rule RSUs as a possible solution. Nice to see this method quantified. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11963551

I fully agree with you, with a small caveat though: the mechanism to use is called IRS section 83b election. It is applicable when instead of the stock options companies offer restricted stock, in a similar way founder stock works. This sho

Relcom and USENET indeed played a role in helping the people of Moscow and Leningrad to defeat that coup d'état: the mere fact, that it continued to operate was an indication of a weakened grip of the KGB.

There was another IBM PC soviet-made clone, somewhat similar to Iskra 1030 mentioned in the post. It was designed and manufactured in Kiev, Ukraine in mid to late 80s and was called Нейрон (neuron). I was a part of that software team, porti

These results may out may not apply to humans. I wonder what frequencies were used in the experiment. While anything higher than 20 kHz is beyond humans hearing range and is called ultrasound, mice can hear sounds as high as 79kHz.
