Yes - it's different in the UK, I have the full 47% sold before disbursment of stock (well, 48.25% from next vest).

What did you enter as the "thing you did".

Somewhat lucky that in the UK it's no less tax efficient to sell straight away, which is what I always do. I know of a non-zero amount of people though in the US hit by the low withholding on RSU's and then having a big tax bill,

This is the problem with the "marmite could lead to peace in the middle east" theory (high zinc content). You would then have vicious infighting between those who love, and those who hate marmite. Oddly, can't stand marmite u

Father to 2 children in the UK here. My 10 year old has only JUST been offered the vaccine, my teenager was only offered it a month ago. So very unlikely these children were vaccinated given the age ranges.

A good example is the Ampere generation of GPU's. The data centre parts were fabbed on TSMC 7, the consumer on Samsung 8 The consumer parts hit their performance envelope but use about 30% more energy than the data center parts, for th

I got rid of a Samsung fridge freezer recently because the front door rusts. The integrated water/ice dispenser sits atop a piece of door metal folded over, and the edge must not be protected as any spills not IMMEDIATELY cleaned up ca

Hopefully you'll see this, my daughter has a frame TV. You need to keep your finger pressing the off button on the remote until the whole thing turns off.

Not for, eg, lastpass. Your master password is the key that decrypts your password vault. Some sort of escrow would be good, that unlocks a document with access instructions upon receipt of a valid death certificate.

Or was it because the equipment available at the time was large, bulky and unaffordable? I find 3D much better when sim-racing in VR, for example. Games are more immersive, and even meetings in VR are less fatiguing than via video conferenc

Luxury! I had a 40MB hard drive on my Cyrix 386, and double-spaced it to "80"MB It's crazy to think how little 40MB is now, I've edited PowerPoint decks larger than that.

Some people sent death threats to Fauci over the lab leak hypothesis as they blamed him for funding some research at the Wuhan lab. Real, taxpayer, money had to be spent on his security detail. Once again - people who claimed that the lab l

I think it's important to take a step back here. I saw plenty of people saying "Covid is less severe in Children" without any issue. The people who had tweets taken down were saying things like "Children can't die f

Except Gorbavhev himself has said there was no such agreement, and you ignore that there are already NATO nations on the Russian border.

And this week a republican running for office put the faces of children who go to a non conventional school in an attack ad on "woke" that has led to them having slurs shouted at them, people trying to get into the school to film

The other good brand is Heatkiller. Their pump/res combos are really nice, as are their water blocks.

Do they? In my experience they don't - e.g. the lab leak hypothesis. If you hypothesise about it, that's A OK, if you claim that it's 100% verified, that's not, because it's not been proven one way or the other.

When I moved into my current house the VDSL (FTTC) cabinet that serves my road was full, so I could only get DSL. I wrote a script that checked the OpenReach availability API every few minutes so that when someone ceased their service (beca

That's why they're so cheap, compared to a lot of other offerings.

That's a great resource, thanks for putting it together! The thing I've found great about Yubikeys is how easy it has been to onboard non-technical family members to using them.
