But then why is the number higher for 2adult1child (1 working) when compared to 2adult1child(both working). wouldn't child raising costs get added back in once both are working?

I have received equity as an employee. When I started, the company was very early and their evaluation was still very low. The way it worked was that I had to pay for the equity grant upfront. I forget exactly how much but it was<$200. This is also how it worked for me as a founder of a company.

That same company eventually raised a sizeable equity round and then began issuing options for new employees. If they were to continue issuing equity grants, the cost to purchase the grant would be much more than $200 (likely tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars). Alternatively, if the company were to give employees equity grants directly instead of having to buy them then that would count as income and the employees would owe taxes on the equity gained. The tax bill could also easily be tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Options avoid all of that and defer the upfront costs that come with an equity grant.

Imo, the real problem is that options can be clawed back once you no longer work for the company.

What's the name of the game? I'd love to check it out on Steam.

the first thing he said in that imgur link was that he thinks its okay to "hide your power level" . he is clearly okay with and willing to hide his real beliefs

i wish that were the case, but there is a strong argument that it doesnt work that way. Unfortunately instead it looks like the consensus amongst citizens is largely irrelevant. this study in particular comes to mind. https://www.vox.com/2014/4/18/5624310/martin-gilens-testing-...

Apple got sued and settle for the very thing you are describing https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-iphones-settlement/...

I lived in Boston a couple years before Uber was a thing and if I was out at night and needed a ride back to Southie (where I lived), it would take me four or five taxis at least to get one to agree to go there.

Uber eliminated that problem. It would be terrible to go back to that system where drivers can just refuse you based on where you are going or what you look like.

Any order? Even illegal ones?

Wouldn't that be 60% are not interested. 100% - (20% very interested) - 20% (somewhat interested). People who are somewhat interested do not count towards being not interested.

Tbf we dont know that there are long term effects on organs and lungs from covid-19. Its only existed for 6 months. Its impossible to know what will happen long term at this point.

Is there a YouTube video or something I can check out before downloading?

Im about to do the opposite switch. Any chance you have any good resources for someone new to vue

Having to pay for the extra traffic is similar to having to pay for rent and staffing for that day of the sit in. Its built in costs of operating that have to be paid because their time of running the business was temporarily suspended.

Has hacker news ever gone down? I cant remember it ever going dkwnt but I assume it has to have at some point.

I may be fulfilling this wish, but I have not build a unity game to Mac in a while and do not have a mac powerful enough to run VR games. Can you download mac.app from here and let me know if it runs on your machine or if it works with SteamVR.

I'm at work and my Vive is at home, threw together a build that "in theory" works but I have yet to test it. If you wanna take a stab it you can download it here. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uRP9uan3iViBddmQ5iZ3...

or check out the source here https://github.com/matuszeg/wavefunctioncollapse

I'll update the build (and this comment) and make sure it works later when I get back to my Vive.

I have a vive, but I don't have a mac. I could throw the SteamVR plugin in and get it up on windows, but someone would have to test it on mac

As a software engineer who has to have a facebook for API integrations and other bullshit. Facebook is not pure luxury. Wish I could do my job without having to have an account but it is not possible.

You cannot network together boxes of paper ballots and access them via the internet. It does not fully prevent tampering it just makes it way harder.

The utility I get from Joe Rogan interviewing experts is that he asks a lot of clarifying questions to help bring the material back down to a more understandable level. I love Carmack's talks because I am in the same field and can usually follow him, but I cannot imagine a layman being able to keep up.

you should go. It's not all gone yet.

Had this happen the first week of my first internship. Made me work Saturday through Sunday. No sleep. unpaid. Only thing I learned was I needed a new job.

I think the corporate benefit is free prototyping. Get a lot of people to try a a lot of ideas really fast. See what you like about what they did and run from there.

Is it okay to sacrifice security because some members of society are either too old/dumb/misguided/whatever to bother?

At what point do we just have to leave these people behind?

I agree one event does not summarize an individual. But if you can choose what is remembered and what is not you can pick and choose the data others use to determine who you are. If someone goes on a racist tirade on Facebook, yea that does not automatically make them a racist, but its a very good data point that people who meet that person should be able to reference. I believe the sentiment of the Right to be Forgotten is so the racist who changes their mind can move on from their past. But I feel this will be abused more than used correctly. Con artists will wildly abuse the Right to be Forgotten.

I agree, they do not think they are evil, but they know others think they are. So they mask their behavior. Dog whistling is a classic example[1].

I usually make throwaways for the same reason.

I think there is some merit to the idea of Right to be Forgotten[1] but at the same time, I feel like that would just help evil people hide their true nature. The other half of me wants to just have the NSA dump everything one day and let everyone know what everyone else has really been saying for the last 15 years. The first couple days would be tough for everyone to acclimate knowing who everyone really is. But in theory that is a net good. Deception is rarely for good.

Your statement on trust cannot be restated enough.

My additional concern is that, I do not use Facebook. I deleted my account like 10 years. Yet they still retain data on me, not only without my consent. They have the opposite of my consent. I explicitly told them to delete everything they had on me and I am opting out of their service.

Yet articles like this pop up time and time again[1]. There is talks about them scanning every picture on facebook for faces and building profiles of everyone, including non-users.

How am I, a person who has no Facebook and does not want anything to do with them supposed to stop them from monitoring and tracking me.

Imagine if in high school you found out some guy in your class was keeping records of the structure of your face, or the websites you visit and you confront them to stop and all they say is other students have allowed me to do this so I keep everyone's records to make it easier for me to track the people who gave me permission.

I assume everyone would not be comfortable with this, especially if they then go to sell that data to the students running for class president so they can manipulate your friends to harass you to vote for their candidate.

I would assume he has an admin type of account on Facebook, but does that even matter tho. He and many other employees have direct access to their databases and code. They can do whatever they want and there do not seem to be any checks in place to prevent crime/abuse.

If some engineer at Facebook wants to log into the account of someone they have a crush on, search for nudes or something else nefarious, I have yet to learn of any systems in place to prevent that from happening besides Facebook telling us to trust them.

They used to have a master password to log into any account[1]. They say they replaced this with a special tool you need "permission" to use.

Quote from the article "Finally, while the interviewee says the ‘master password’ has been deprecated, employees can still access your profile through a special tool, but they need to provide a reason for why they’re doing it. If they get audited down the line and fail to provide an explanation, they can be fired"

That sounds like a system where you trust everyone and audit later to verify nothing bad happened. Imo these systems are put in place to hide abuse not reveal it because they are reactionary instead of preventative.

That entire system of checking employees from abusing data, relies of everyone trusting the people in charge at Facebook to do the right thing, insert "dumb fucks" Zuckerberg quote here[2].

Imo it is a matter of time before we find out about wide scale massive data abuse from Facebook employees. Either an insider feeding out data to others or someone on the inside listening to hedge fund managers private conversations to insider trade off of.

I am just generally tired of everyone trusting everyone all the time. We have to have rules and systems in place to eliminate the need for trust.
