Buying a non-dividend stock and selling it a higher price does not cost the company a cent. The profit doesn't come from the company at all.

You don't appear to understand how either stocks or CGT works. Cloudflare does not issue dividends. Dividends are distributions of profit. If I bought Cloudflare stock at $30 and sold at $90, for example, the $60 profit I'm making

This can only be true if you hold humans in such low regard that you think they cannot make an informed choice about where to work and under which conditions. Any example of a cooperative usually descends into chaos, an example being worker

Capital gains tax is a parasitical tax that punishes people for being responsible with their after-tax money. It also creates massive, massive loopholes that can be abused. The fairest solution is to scrap CGT and associated capital loss wr

Tightening of infrastructure budgets isn't often easy, you need to invest weeks of engineering time into a mere 6 figure yearly reduction in infra costs. Aside from that, Cloudflare is growing revenue not just overall but also on a per

The big medical bill is a lie concocted by those with a political agenda. Nobody ever pays the $100,000+ sticker prices of medical bills. Never. Doesn't happen. Firstly, if you have no insurance (very rare), you can negotiate very stee

Cloudflare might have been a frothy valuation, but it's still growing 54% YoY. I'm buying at these prices. ($NET bagholder)

Taking a 90% less salary (than the US) to lower your tax rate to 10% seems ill-advised. Salaries in Europe are horrendous for developers, they get screwed.

You're right, because there's never been a leak of personal data from any researcher or government department.

The measure of success for a corporation isn't number of products released, it's revenue/profit. Valve has higher revenue per employee than any other gaming company. They have first mover advantage on a platform that's t

Azure seems to be shaping up to be a security joke, there's been a concerning number of cross-account exploits in the last couple of years. AWS isn't perfect, but you really don't see many exploits on this scale. What is Micr

This is highly concerning that they'd praise any portion of a document that calls for censorship of "misinformation" (eerie parallels to the Hunter Biden laptop story, which was censored and later proven accurate). It also pa

There's actually zero legal reason any of those companies need to comply with emergency data requests. Refuse them and ask for a court order. If a cop comes to your house and asks to take a look around without a warrant you are under n

Why are we allowing emergency data requests in ANY case? If something is truly life or death, surely a judge won't mind being woken up at 3am if there's a kidnapping or imminent threat. If your security model is "the underfun

The claim that DB's Trump loans had Russian counterparties is unproven speculation. That's the bottom line. There isn't a single piece of evidence to support the claim.

None of those articles back up the points made by the parent comment. It's a very big leap to go from "DB launders money for Russias" to "DB's loans to Trump had Russian counterparties" -- a completely unproven

San Francisco spends in excess of $34,000 per homeless per year already, with nothing to show for it except needles on streets. Where's the money going? Who knows, probably a mix of graft and incompetence.

It's pretty bad to see Alex Stamos defending these programs that put minors in harms way considering they are entirely voluntary and extrajudicial (no court orders). The companies involved are literally handing over personal data to cr

The native Mac Finder app is very unresponsive and clunky and I don't think there's any JS involved.

Practically everything you wrote is conjecture. There is zero evidence DB was a middleman for Russian investors for Trump loans. There is evidence DB was laundering money for shady Russians, however there is zero evidence any of that is lin

Based on 2019-20 numbers from Levels.fyi, those engineers should be on over $430k a year due to appreciation. Seems above average if you stick around. You won't get even half that at Ford or GM.

It's absolutely not an accident. Given they've actually changed naming repeatedly, this move can only be interpreted as being a deliberate scheme to swindle consumers.
