>And buyers are paying only a fraction of that fraction in property taxes.

This just in, you don't pay 100% of your home's value in property taxes each year!

Thanks, this worked perfectly

Almond growers better be paying a premium then in order to compensate the residents of the state who lost their water to them. If California is conducive to farming other than water then the high price in water should be fine.

Everyone is complaining - why don't other people offer free internet? Just do it yourself

Is there any reason to not just lie about it, and instead tell them the salary you want?

Sorry, I try to reply to everyone

Also, if you're still in school or just graduated, make sure to include your GPA, even if your experience is amazing.

It's a big tech hub outside of silicon valley that's arguably more fun and undeniably less expensive

If anyone is interested in GPS, we're looking for a software engineer ready to learn about it. (Full Time, Austin)

"square quantum bit circuit design that is the only physical architecture that could successfully scale to larger dimensions"

There's really only one way to to possibly do things?

Online articles are like junk food - it's more appealing but has little substance. If you can get used to reading real books again then the online stuff is a lot less appealing.

There are a lot of things to sign and paperwork to do - it would be very difficult to do all of that without a real estate agent - I wouldn't even know where to start

I'm surprised about all of the backlash on here against the article. Look at the ImageNet competition - when it first started out the algorithms being used were very different hand-designed algorithms, then all of a sudden backprop dominated.

If you're interested in this area, my company is designing hardware accelerators for these algorithms. Our versions of the algorithms have a few extra twists to them to account for the analog nature of the hardware. I'm probably a bit biased, but I think this is a really interesting place to be working right now

They usually pronounce it "M-cubed", which is also unfortunate because the university started some sort of research program (also called "M-cubed") a while after that name got engrained

If this doubles the chance of a unicorn, then everyone involved comes out ahead. Nice system

You could also send an email with your CV

No, sorry

Does anyone have a good article for a more generalized version of this motto? It seems to apply to many forms of design

"Economists think this will happen via tax (from the jobs created, and from the profits of the companies), yet so many of the companies that receive such benefits from state funding, bring their jobs elsewhere, and of course we know they also pay very little tax."

He makes it sound like the USA would be just as well off if big tech companies weren't here.

The US government is basically a ~15% shareholder in all US companies due to salary and other taxes. If they can invest in technology research and build more US companies, then the US government earns a net profit.

I would like to see a breakdown for a major technology company to see what percentage of their revenue goes to income tax withholding, and then see how much government funding went into helping that company come to life.

Edits:

1. Number adjustment

2. By "income tax witholding" I mean the income tax that the employees pay. If 50% of revenue goes to salaries, and 20% of salaries go to income tax witholding, then 10% of a company's revenue goes to income tax.

I tried to address this in my reply to Bjartr

If you're doing a startup outside of software/web, one of the things VC's ask you about is IP protection. The development cycles are longer, the costs are higher, each prototype is precious. Once you have succeeded, the VC needs to know that a large company cannot swoop in and make the exact same product as you.

Let's say I'm working at a university and come up with a new type of GPU, it's 10x faster than NVIDIA's & AMD's. If I have a patent, I can raise VC funding and take on NVIDIA/AMD because NVIDIA/AMD cannot make the same thing and sell it in the USA (a large market). Now there is NVIDIA, AMD, and QUANTICLES selling in the market. The products are improved because QUANTICLES is 10x faster, and NVIDIA and AMD have their own selling points. EDIT: The public benefits here because improved products are on the market and jobs are created in the USA.

Let's say I'm working at a university and come up with a new GPU but cannot patent it because University Patents Are Evil. Now NVIDIA/AMD are free to pursue it, or not, if they chose. Likely they wont because there is a significant ground to cover between university project and actual product. Usually there are many issues and tradeoffs to solve, solving these issues/tradeoffs is risky, and NVIDIA/AMD cannot take on the risk or are not aware they should.

Main point: startups are a proving ground for new ideas that big companies can't afford to take on, or choose not to. The university comes up with the idea and then the startup tries to prove that it works in a commercial environment. If there is no protection for that company after it's proven then investment is a losing bet.

Software/Web companies have a different sort of protection than hardware companies: users. A user is a customer that gets entrenched in a product. For example, how often do you change email services? How often do you change online photo catalogs? Each year I do my taxes on the same site since I can import my settings from the previous year and I know how to use it.

Hardware companies do not get entrenched as easily. Many times hardware can be switched in and out with other hardware (for example, GPUs). This also creates a feast or famine environment - you either have big sales because you're best product on the market, or you have none because you don't. If a startup cannot protect itself then it may not be worth investing in.

Many successful companies started as university startups working with federal funds. If the university was not able to patent, then the startups could never happen. Since startups are credited with being the innovation driver in the commercial world, killing off all of these startups would have a stifling effect on innovation in the US.

A similar situation is with the small business innovative research program (SBIR). The main purpose of this program is to provide federal funds to perform research in order to help new small businesses grow, which in turn become large companies or get acquired by large companies. If all federal research dollars ended up resulting in no patents for the companies performing the research, then these startups wouldn't exist, and the purpose of the program would be destroyed.

Everyone agrees that public dollars should result in public benefit. However, there is more public benefit to be had by creating lots of startups than there is by creating a bunch of non-patent publications.

The US thrives due to it's technological advancement, which is driven by startups. Let's be careful to not destroy that benefit.

My of my friends from college are about 30 and living in Silicon Valley. The cost of purchasing a house is enormous there (1.5+M), so many are considering moving to other parts of the country. A few have moved already. (The report didn't mention this topic)

C.G.P. Grey has an entire series on why our voting system forces a two-party system. The issue isn't getting your neighbour to change their voting habits, the issue is changing the system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-ts=1422579428&v=s7tWHJfhi...

The ability of the public to challenge the government in court and win on an issue like this is a large part of why America is so successful - the citizens are what removes government rot and keeps the system running well.
