I don't think you understand how rare your situation is. All these things are unusual: 1. You joined early enough that you can early exercise for such a low price ($7k) 2. Your company allowed early exercise (still unusual these days).

This type of interview seems tremendously disrespectful to the candidate. You can tell a lot about any company that thinks this is a remotely acceptable thing to subject a candidate to. Unless you are very interested in the particular comp

I'm partial to an even simpler solution: Make it easier to go into bankruptcy, and discharge the loan in bankruptcy. If your debt load is unsustainable, such that your interest payments are more than XX% of your income, then you effect

With some banks, you don't even need the recipient to set up anything. The bank will just mail the check to whatever address you enter. It's mind-boggling that this is cheaper and lower hassle for me than the alternatives.

Great article. When I worked at $OldJob, the leadership wanted an unsolved, research-grade problem solved in a few months. They demanded estimates, then refused to accept estimates beyond their timeline, then tried to hold people "ac

Just being able to hold people individually responsible for their decisions could be enough. Did you decide that your company should poison a dozen people? You're a criminal and should be charged as such in court.

Like mosquitos, we could create a gene drive for these tick species and eliminate them.

All together, UK billionaires have 156 billion pounds [1]. Put a 4% wealth tax on that, and you'll get 6.25 billion pounds. You won't even be making their fortunes smaller, so you could take that amount for forever. The NHS spen

You encourage businesses to put their offices in a similar location, and on major transit routes. Then, even if A or B switch jobs their commute is still easy.

Interesting point. It would only apply to the 15%-25% of below-market-rate units, so yes it would reduce supply, but not as much as making the entire building rent controlled (or below market rate).

We should consider a 75% capital gains rate on land value increases. After all, the owner typically had little effect on their own land value. A big effect comes from their neighbors building shops and offices and the biggest effect comes f

In college, the best time I had on group projects was when I could pick my group. I was in groups of people with a similar skill level and interest in the topic, and we worked together seamlessly. I learned the most because other group me

You are right! From the paper: > by default, our non-active players are also controlled by another rule-based bot. In this case, the behavior is simple and corresponds to reasonable football actions and strategies, such as running towar

If I read correctly, the agent only controls one player at a time. On offense it controls the player with the ball, and on defense it controls probably the player closest to the ball. The other players are controlled by the built-in AI.

Then they should raise enough money to afford their employees. (Or make their equity meaningful, with longer exercise windows or by loaning the money for early exercise).

The author had a lot of interesting things to say, but I wish they were a lot more open about their biases. It's pretty clear that they are starting from the position that marriage and "traditional" family values are importa

Newsom should have used the money to upgrade Caltrain and SF rail stations, and THEN cancel the project. At least then something useful would have gotten done.

Or just add a category of capital gains--super short-term capital gains--for holding something for minutes or hours, and tax it at 50%.

What's a good strategy if you're not always disciplined at doing daily reviews (besides "be more disciplined," of course)? When I use Anki, if I miss a week of reviews, then it feels impossible to restart again. That fi

A blogger (I forget who) said to reject more candidates during the phone screen stage, which I've found to work great. When evaluating a phone screen, many interviewers will think "they were on the fence. Let's see how they

Where are you getting the idea that ALEC is trying to be transparent about about writing these laws? The article is clear that it takes some digging to uncover these bills: USA TODAY and the Republic found at least 10,000 bills almost ent

The whole point of making it transparent and traceable is to end the influence of money on politics. ALEC's efforts are transparent because they are so certain that they will get away with it. If people are successful in fighting t
