The problem that most people have with this implementation is their salary numbers are quite low, and their equity numbers are quite low or zero. You have to be very careful to avoid falling in the "build this for me and I'll shar

Let's set the FUD chow aside for a second. It takes more electricity to refine a gallon of gasoline than an EV uses to travel the equivalent distance. That means if oil had zero energy content or environmental footprint, you're s

I've seen him demo the product, and text just doesn't do it justice. It's awe-inspiring and I'm glad he finally decided it was ready for its admiring public (got worried there). I'd pay no mind to the naysayers; t

The situation you put your body in is not natural; you could have gotten some kind of heatstroke in so doing. To limit this sort of reaction, continue wearing your coat as you exit the building for a few minutes; this will limit the rate at

You need to decide if you're the sort who'd rather serve in heaven or rule in hell (the analogy works both for work environment and salary). There's also the third option- seek out a better position with even more pay.

There really isn't an either/or approach here. The HSR currently under construction is designed to ferry people between moderately sized, moderately spaced cities at a moderate pace (the fact there's a monumental price invol

Borrowing is ideally on flexible (or no) terms, with as low an interest rate as possible. Friends, family and fools come first as a source of borrowing. Then perhaps a credit card (0% intro APR if possible; that should play well against you

Your problem is not encryption keys and directories, near as much as physical removal of the appliance itself due to government seizure. Your ability to protect your tenants is first and foremost their capability to retrieve their own data,

There are also dozens of scholarship programs that, when I was in college, I didn't qualify for because I didn't look like the OP. A lot of them are only for upperclassmen, and a lot of them are only for STEM disciplines. It may

Across this country, this very month, legions of rubes will be getting low-interest student loans to enroll in psychology, general studies, and undecided major degree programs, paying $40k per year, only to drop out shortly thereafter with

This task is beyond most recruiters' skill sets to do properly. Most recruiters are also paranoid about any level of direct interaction, since both candidate and interviewer have significant financial incentives to cut them out of the

Stock options and warrants can be useful, though if done poorly they can muddy up your prospects for later rounds of financing in case you change your mind about investors. Not ideal, but cheap. Perks like telecommuting, flexible schedules

I think I share the thoughts of a good amount of the readership of this board by saying I wish I had your problem set. What we don't know is how much of the business value was from the CEO's superherolike skills to sell the produc

I always understood the reason for rental cars costing so much on-airport was to pay for the high-density construction on prime real estate to accommodate them within a reasonable hike of the airport gates. SFO's train system (10 minu

One approach would be for offeror to encode the same "you're hired" message multiple times, using standard salary numbers for the encryption keys, and randomizing their order. If applicant is able to decode one of the encryp

What would actually be more sought-after is a way to host outside of a government easily coopted by US government interests (legal or otherwise), and to do so in a place without a 160ms latency penalty (sorry UK, long distance relationships

Although you get less solar input to the shaded roof during the winter (the sun would be at such a low angle there'd be precious little anyway), the PV panels themselves put out more efficient power when it is cold out. Almost all sol

Probably time to start freshening up your resume, LinkedIn and Dice accounts, and looking around. Nothing makes it easier to find a new job than still having an existing one. Seeing how green the grass is somewhere else may add a lot of p

I think of renting in the bay area much as I do of jobs and careers in the bay area- almost nobody's in it for the long (5+-year) term, so it makes sense to go for what makes sense now (within a longer term plan) and then readjust as y

Looks like the Apple Lisa had this symbol on its standard keyboard (sans the word option), meaning it's been in use since at least the early 80's. I would wager that this was the first use of the symbol to denote this purpose. Int

What few people realize about lithium batteries is it's not the lithium that's scarce and expensive, but the alloying elements that go in to make the electrode- most EV batteries use more Cobalt by weight than Lithium, and Cobalt is more ex

Look at it a different way. You have $20,000 cash. It's yours, in your hand. It looks like it's your last $20,000. Do you want to invest it in your employer's company or yourself?

"Some rich dude" probably is aware of many far more deserving recipients of his charity than a group of fresh-off-the-bus entrepreneurs who can't figure out how to live in Silicon Valley. Now, if, say, "some rich dude" was to ask for equity

A few observations: Many of the bitcoin mining rigs out there are operating on either "borrowed" or idle equipment- at least part of the energy on these rigs would have been wasted anyway. Creating any good, be it the next version of Warcra

One rather important thing about thorium vs. uranium that is never spelled out in most texts but is very essential- thorium is what they call a "fertile" material, whereas uranium is a "fissile" material. Fertile materials can produce nucl

It really does depend on where you're interviewing. List the experience either way, but "founder" tends to count negative far more than "lead developer". Companies are paranoid they'll hire their next competitor or a distracted employee wh

I think we're grokking the same here, but one disconnect: You're presupposing that the wealthy want _some_ return on their wealth, and I think that in many cases, that simply isn't true. Take a look at all of the money stranded offshore tha

I'm confused about the perceived dichotomy of taxation and private investment. If the government threatens to take their cash, wealthy individuals and entities will find ways to use that cash to further their wealth instead of giving it to
