My point is that exercising the company’s stock early is fraught with risk and is in almost all cases a -EV play. Yes, the option technically exists. But without perfect foresight it’s not a good option. It’s not even an okay one. It’s an

I own one unit in a 2-unit condo built in the 1910s in SF. It’s pretty fucking dreamy if you ask me.

Nobody is really saying not to build these things. They’re saying the problem is exceedingly annoying to solve—and often not in a technically interesting way but in a way that is just massively tedious—and a better alternative almost certai

I encourage you to put yourself in that person's shoes. It is never a simple decision. Yes, there is plenty of opportunity to exercise when valuations were low. But that also means you're buying before there's clear evide

You are willfully ignoring the reality that building a competing rail network that services the same area is wildly impractical given the land requirements. This is the same argument behind having multiple providers to share one set of powe

Vested is not exercised. Options vest, but you have to exercise them to purchase the underlying shares. This is nominally cheap, but from the IRS’ perspective you have just spent $1 to purchase a share worth $100, so that’s $99 of income. M

Googlers aren’t expected to wear a Google-branded watch at work. They are expected to write go. Having an entire Google’s worth of programmers using your programming language isn’t exactly a minor influence.

Maintenance in general is a burden much greater than CVEs. Exploits are bad, certainly, but a bug not being exploitable is still a bug that needs to be fixed. With maintenance being a "large" integer multiple of initial developmen

A CVE is worse, but a threading bug resulting in corrupted data or a crash is still a bug that needs someone to triage, understand, and fix.

And if I—an evildoer—leave the script alone and simply replace the installed binaries with compromised ones?
616.
by stouset 1y ago
No, because if someone can compromise your curlbash, they can just as easily compromise the binary package you’re installing with it.

Yes! What I really want from something like this is sandboxing the install process to give me a guaranteed uninstall process.

This makes me really sad. Protobufs are not all that great, but they were there first and “good enough”. It’s frustrating when we can’t have nice things because a mediocre Google product has sucked all the air out of the room. I’m not only

Same on a motorcycle. My current bike has a quickshifter (for both up and down shifting) but even without one you can shift up and down without ever touching the clutch just by pushing on the shift pedal while blipping the throttle off-and-

Public EV chargers are pretty widespread nowadays. Not as much as gas chargers obviously, but for most people in the country if you don't have a way to charge at home it's not fundamentally that different from not having a gas pum

`--update-refs` was added in 2.38, in 2022. `--fixup` was added in 1.7.3. Like I said, git has grown additional features and workarounds. Knowing all of them is a lot of work.

It’s definitely not impossible! It might not even be hard these days (git has accrued a million flags and features), but it is definitely friction . And it might not seem like much, but it adds up. And all of that friction stops you from e

There is a way to express which sets of revisions are immutable. This uses the revset feature which itself a whole amazing thing that hasn’t come up in the conversation yet. This is a mechanism by which you can concisely express and refer t

I don’t think this is a good approach toward getting people to switch. It’s unnecessarily combative.
