sounds like im just bad at the game then :)

go player here.

on first play throughs (on easy then medium AI), i thought that a lot of concepts transferred over and that i just had to consider that influence increases over time even if nothing else is played there later. the game seemed pretty easy.

then i tried hard and got stuck for a few games. i could be wrong about this, but i think the game might be easier as the second player? ive been able to win as blue on hard, but not green yet. i suspect theres something im not understanding about how the influence works, since this seems counter intuitive to me otherwise.

in any case, cool game :)

dividends can also be taxed at long term gain rates if the stock was held for some period of time before hand (see qualified dividends)

Their initial statement is clearly a lie, full agreement there.

Also there are still outstanding questions regarding liquidity issues: why did they not first disallow margin buying, then possibly with unsettled funds? did these knobs not exist? was there some sort of mismanagement on their side?

I think there is plenty of room for RH to come out of this poorly even if the citadel story ends up being false and it was in fact a liquidity issue.

there is a lot of misinformation out there about what happened today. its starting to to look like this all happened due to default concerns and the resulting changes in necessary collateral.

I have no skin in this game (neither GME or Robinhood), but lets try to stay informed and not grab pitchforks based on non proven allegations.

i met my non-refundable hotel half way and just asked for credits for a future stay there. they were happy to do that and gave me a 2 year expiration.

From what ive been reading on online go communities, they seem to mostly agree with you.

Lee's issues with the KBA are not a secret and he has discussed possibly retiring for some time now. He has given multiple reasons as to why he was considering retiring and while ai might be one of them, saying that its _the_ reason feels very clickbaity.

thats only shares owned though.

page 169 shows that Logan Green also has 3.5M in vested (unexercised) options and about 2M in unvested options.

> And I won't comment unless I am convinced it is important.

I tend to lean this way as well. Im of the mindset that most things that are "caught" in a code review don't add any real value. Or maybe I just have bad coding standards.

perhaps im extrapolating too much based on my own two data points. im just a normal senior eng, but have been able to get my last two offers modified (once with early exercise, once with 10 year expiration).

it is, of course, complete BS that this is the norm.

however, be aware that you can negotiate for early exercise or 10 year expiration prior to joining. even if the startup has never done anything like that prior, they will make it happen if they really want to hire you.

Its not even about hedging but about diversification. If you are in a position where you can't diversify fully, you should require a higher return on investment in order to take on the risk.

For example. If you could bet on a coin flip 100k times at $1 a bet, you might be willing to accept getting paid $1.01 per win. But if you had to bet $100k on a single coin flip, you would likely need the payout to be much greater before you were willing to take the bet.

its only long term cap gains if you hold the stock for more then a year. if you exercise and sell immediately, its income.

i think this is a pretty important question to ask, since most people are buyers and not sellers. while things like inflationary currency and privacy are important, im skeptical that they are big enough reasons for the average person to really move the needle here.

one practical reason could end up being cost. with the ubiquity of credit cards, most businesses need to bake in the credit card fee and chargebacks into the cost of their goods. its possible that some buyers would be willing to forgo the buyer protection in exchange for a discount on some purchases (assuming the credit card industry doesn't lobby to make offering these types of discounts illegal...)

not OP, but of course you would. but its a trade off in security between buyers and sellers. Neither is inherently better then the other (imo).

sleeping on your side prefers a softer mattress then if you sleep on your back for this reason.

the valuation would have to drop to account for the debt the company took on.

are you using mapbox by chance? im asking because i was under the impression that they were exactly this, a non google maps api.

the last i heard of juno, they were acquired and drivers were upset about being screwed over in the deal (their RSUs were almost worthless). Just googled around and couldn't find any updates, do you know what happened? Are they seen as driver friendly again?

i thought they were using the blog data because thats what the MIT study was using.

the medium article claims pay was computed as follows: dollars_earned_driving * percentage_of_total_wage_from_driving

assuming this is correct, the less drivers rely on driving as a primary source of income, the more incorrect the $3.37 figure would be. curious to see the updated results.

i dunno, i would argue that people generally do see these other things as successes. its just that paychecks are much more easily quantifiable/comparable that leads to a skew in emphasis.

lol <3

i agree with you, but its the way that private company valuations work in the valley. If you read an article that says company X raised a round at Y valuation, its always based on the preferred price.

I missed the part where it said the win percentages are relative to black winning (as opposed the the currently playing side), and thought alphago was saying the best response to black opening with both 4-4 and 4-3 was tengen...
