I guess you are being downvoted, because the fact "DNA can survive (re?)entry from space" is not a proof.

"The final geocentricism.". Duh. You could be in a mixed state of |life had originated on earth| + |life had originated elsewhere| + |physics doesn't actually exists, and you are just a bitstring|.

edit: downvoter ;) you are an unfriendly and uneducated bitstring ;)

1M is sometimes all the memory that you have, on the embedded systems. And sometimes it is less. For example, it could be 68 bytes.

PIC 16F84A - 1K Program Memory, 68 bytes Data Memory, 64 bytes EEPROM

Whenever I'm finding it appropriate to do so.

I'm a computer science researcher, I have a right to that opinion and I sincerely expect this to be the most likely outcome.

I do not see anything wrong in stating it bluntly and clearly, as often as I like. I don't see anything wrong in copy-pasting my own quote.

Most likely you and your kids are gonna be wiped out by intellegent machines just in a few decades.

""" Friedman, laureate of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics, said: "You want more insider trading, not less. You want to give the people most likely to have knowledge about deficiencies of the company an incentive to make the public aware of that." Friedman did not believe that the trader should be required to make his trade known to the public, because the buying or selling pressure itself is information for the market.

Yes, you are correct. On an average Linux box to have a single cache line data transfer between the cores under 150ns 99% of the time is about the best that you can get. Especially if you are running stock kernel that eats this 1% and creates huge outliers ;). There is some talk though, about crazily-expensive switches with integrated FPGAs...

Duh. Common. Describe me just one automated strategy for which $130k would not be a phenomenal outlier. And you were talking multiple strategies...

Now you are just bullshitting. A 130k is a huge loss and a phenomental outlier. You've never had even a 100k loss on your strategies. And by current standards your strategies are not even HFT. I've seen you talking milliseconds. Nowadays people are talking sub-microseconds.

""" More to the point, if you're buying drugs online you're not supporting local drug dealers and the crime and violence that typically accompany open air drug markets, particularly in inner cities. By cutting those sellers out of the equation, you're seeing a net reduction in violence overall.

Let me give you a clue. Are you in the gravitational field of the Sun? How does it compare with the gravitational field of the Earth? Is it stronger or weaker? Do you feel it? What's the trajectory of the earth in the curved space-time around the sun?

When you'd say "go climb some stairs" what you feel are the stairs. And you should also feel like a bit of an idiot, in my humble opinion.

Energy is conserved in any iteraction. And gravity is not a force. Gravity is the curvature of space-time.

At least in C your initialization functions are first class citizens. Not like in that messed-up language, in which a constructor just should not fail...

Hey, do you want to join a cool startup that I'm working on? I'll look out for you, no worries. Just work and have fun, and I'll take care of the rest.

By the way, there's also an investment opportunity, you see I've recently came into ownership of a certain bridge....

should be entitled to current-valuation equity that's equal to the difference between their market rate and what they get paid by the startup

Rrright. Only a founder can decide to dilute the stock while keeping that quiet, or do any number of other things. While an employee is on the receiving end.

Yes, and that's the reward part of the risk/reward equation.

I'm actually not concerned at all about the rewards, 'unfairness' or any other philosophical issues. What I don't like is that there's a myth "the founders bear most of the risk", while in fact, for VC-financed startups the opposite is probably true "the VCs and employees bear most of the risk."

Risk of employees is actually a lot higher than that of a founder. Founders have access to crucial financial information, employees do not. Thus higher risk. Founders have all the control, employees do not. Thus higher risk. Founders can make almost arbitrary hiring/firing decisions that can affect a future (!) career of an employee. Last, but not least, employees may need a reference from their former bosses, founders don't.

Most likely you and your kids are gonna be wiped out by intellegent machines just in a few decades.

Depends. In my opinion, for engineers you can have open office rooms with 2-5 people, all engineers/no bullshitting managers. But not more. I've noticed that a lot of work can be done in groups like that...

It depends. Are you a manager, or PM and is your main responsibility to socialize and play the game? If yes, it is gonna be great! The game is a lot more engaging with the "open office" structure.

Are you an engineer? Well... sorry. You'll have to sit in the headphones now. Get a pair of some good ones.

Yes. In the future intellegent machines will wipe out humans. They would not be very religios about that, just very efficient.

If you have 1%, most likely you are an early employee.

There's a formula: VCs and founders get reach, early employees get screwed and employees get their market salaries.

By the way, what's the minimum income, to be in top 1% of incomes in the US?

AFAIK "chief scientist" title assumes that you, or your team of scientists are doing academic research. And that you publish results of your research.

Taking a title like that, while actually not doing it is a borderline fraud. If I'll get a resume with "scientist" or "researcher" in the title, the first thing I would look at would be published academic papers. If there are none, I will not consider this resume.

Yes. And these jobs will be taken by AIs.

I'll be making a prediction here. Coders will be mostly replaced by AIs before automated cars will have become a mainstream.

Interesting, I did not know that you did not know that.
