It may not make sense but that's the tax law. You will owe tax on unrealized gain in this scenario -- as others have said it's due to AMT. Check with your accountant. This is why 83(b) elections are so important. If your employer

Generally this occurs when you exercise an option to purchase stock, then hold the stock while it significantly depreciates in value. Fairly common scenario during the dot-com bubble. 1) Option at $1 2) Exercise at $100, spending $1 to buy.

I can't speak for this other person but there's some interesting research which shows that some people do much, much more poorly when surrounded by other happy people who're experiencing success. For example, high suicide rat

This is utter nonsense. There's no evidence that neighborhoods made up of renters are any more or less "cultural" than neighborhoods made up of, well, you haven't really articulated an alternative have you? Do you expect

Scott Alexander cited his sources. Perhaps read the article and follow up on them?

msync() doesn't fill buffers at all. It has no function in the operation you've described. Even if it did, it's not atomic ...

msync() with MS_INVALIDATE doesn't belong on this list. It has nothing to do with atomic memory access. msync() is used when flushing a mapped file to durable storage. I very often see this mistake of conflating flushing caches with at

Tax liability as well. Holding land and doing nothing with it costs money.

Agreed it's not particularly cheap at all. Average cropland per-acre cost is $4k per acre, which prices 122 acres at under $500k. If you want cheap acerage in the woods you can get it for around $1k/acre - expect to spend around $

Hell, even my current implementation doesn't store exact copies -- whenever I use a lossy algorithm.

The price issue isn't rich homes vs poor homes. It's agriculture vs homes. Municipalities are already paying many times more for water than farms. A water market would allow municipal water systems to purchase water and provide lo

Or ignore the NSL, talk to the press about it openly, and become the case which invalidates them. I'd do it.

Yes, like I said it's a mixed bag. Mission San Jose has very high scores but others like JFK High aren't great. Unlike Fremont, all schools in Pleasanton have excellent scores. There is no concern of rolling up into the wrong scho

The Dublin/Pleasanton school situation is considerably better than in Fremont -- and always have been along with the rest of the 680 corridor bedroom communities. Fremont schools are a very mixed bag and while they've improved r

No, just Southwest. At the time they'd run a flight every hour between SJC -> BUR and after a while it became really easy to gauge exactly when I could show up and hop onto the next flight out. Cut it too close and miss a flight? Th

I would be astounded if he drives that commute. I used to do the same commute two to three times a week and 35 minutes in the air beats 5 hours on the road hands down. If you're smart about it and flexible in your schedule you can shri

When I was lifting three times a week and running three times a week I would eat much more than that on an average day. If you're working hard to gain muscle you can consume a surprisingly large caloric intake. 4kcal is about right for
