I make 290k total comp as a SWE III at Google. I would make around 240k if my initial stock grants hadn’t nearly doubled in value since I joined. I will probably actually make less money once my 4 year grant runs out, all things being equal

I'm getting "Sorry Because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played here." in both Chrome and Firefox. What's up with that?

I find that mindfulness both reduces my stress in the short term, and causes me to reflect and choose to eliminate stress-causes in my life in the long term. Both effects are positive.

Er, no, bitcoin going up is nice if you hold bitcoin like gold, and irrelevant if you imagine actually using bitcoin as a way to do transactions. Bitcoin going up or down in value relative to other cryptocurrencies is orthogonal to the prob

This comes off as pretty biased. "Run its course?" - really? Remind me, did DeepMind use Probabilistic Graphical Models to beat Lee Sedol at Go? Does any of OpenAI's research use them?

It's definitely possible that people complaining about phony apologies are doing a power thing... Hmm, maybe they want to take away power from people who do bad things? It would be nice if there was some kind of way to signal true remo

For formulas, I find Anki to be pretty effective, because it forces me to recall the formula. I also try to put proofs and proof-techniques into Anki so I can maintain knowledge of an area without using it frequently.

You might be able to use https://opentimestamps.org/ to provide evidence over time (i.e. proving it wasn't fabricated all at once). Still, that doesn't prove that the individual points weren't fabricated at t

Why is integrity such a concern these days? Obviously they're pretending to have integrity for PR reasons, as should be expected. You're just creating an environment where people learn to fake integrity.

Yep. Another reason to disallow private prisons.

by aoeuasdf1 9y ago
Yeah, you would think the tax dollars spent on prisons vastly outweigh the extra dough it would take to actually try everyone who goes through them. Plus, the innocent who aren't jailed pay taxes and do productive things for society. T

If one can create $1 million/year in revenue for $BIGCORP it's completely plausible that they could create $5 million/year in expected value on some better, innovative idea of they own (or a startup's). The only problem

> The workers own the products that they make I'm still a bit confused. If the workers own the outputs of their labor, then if I produce a tool, algorithm or machine, do I own it fully? What happens when someone else wants to use my

People contain multitudes. "You" aren't a single entity which wants or doesn't want things. There is such thing as internal conflict.

Suppose you have two options: - Work for MEGACORP and produce $400k/year of value - Develop a new business which has a 30% chance of succeeding. If it succeeds, you estimate it will be worth $50M. Suppose the marginal tax rate for inco

Everything is finite when you have a fixed amount of information and mass in the universe. That doesn't mean the common economic definitions of wealth are useless. The act of creating capital such as a piece of art, a new algorithm, or

I admit I have a hard time imagining how an advanced economy could work without a government. Can you clarify your opinions here - in your anarchist utopia, - Does money exist? If not, how are workers compensated for the full value of their

Well, kinda - but you're also nominally buying self-righteousness, classism, and maybe some better ingredient quality.
