Right, but why exercise the option without next selling it? If you’re quitting, that’s a risk. And AMT is applied on the gains. So your strike is $1, valuation currently at $100 and you pay tax on the $99 gain. Unless it’s Theranos that val

Absolutely agree. It’s a numbers game but the first 9 may not hit but the 10th makes you wealthy. So if you’re on your 6th then you will feel the equity value is worth $0

That’s a fairly high bar. Musk’s vision is a 100 year vision, I don’t think anyone expects transhumanism in 2021.

First, $500/month for each child in France is not that cheap or great, especially as you’re sacrificing earning potential. Second, we have anecdotal data and you suggest we revamp a trillion dollar industry and incentive structure? See

How do social services help? The article is about parents with jobs adjusting or continuing to adjust to working from home with kids there. Social services as you listed are primarily for people who aren’t working.

Not sure how this is an ‘only’ Trump thing. Republicans believe D-politics will delay the vaccine so it doesn’t come out before Nov 3rd, and Democrats believe R-politics will prematurely release a vaccine before Nov 3rd. This country has be

That’s the one constant with population growth. The remote parts of the world won’t be so remote as time goes on. On your point about space travel, it doesn’t even have to be that far. The moon or mars aren’t that terribly far on convention

What’s the best way to stop them from starting? What de-escalation methods are proven to work? Surely these would be in use already in far-left strongholds like Portland and Seattle.

Its been 1.5 decades since the patriot act of the same rehashed tropes and fear mongering. Most citizens accept the high level surveillance for high level hackers and criminals. The fear of ‘they’re going to track Joe Schmoe to a strip club

Flying used to be a great way to escape a crime that was just committed. By knowing the name and id of every traveler, we can stop criminals from fleeing their crime scenes.

I looked it up. 6% of Americans don’t have a bank account. Doesn’t say whether they could go ahead and get one, or they choose not to. Sizable?

Also his analysis is shoddy. He shows an absolute decrease in DL job postings since covid hit, and claims that DL is in decline irrespective if other fields like SWE are also in a similar decline. Utterly surprised by the analysis given the
