I was around employee 100. Had options that were worth about 1.5 million at the peak, then the internet bubble popped and by the time I was fully vested and able to sell it was maybe 1/10th that--$150K or so. In hindsight, I could have

Here's an exercise that would be interesting. Look at all the 'Show HN' posts announcing new startups from a couple of years ago. Find how many are still operating. Then contact the creators to see if the revenues produced ha

A simple SaaS that gushes profits is so improbable that you might as well call it impossible. If you want passive income, write code for pay and invest some of the surplus. If you want to do a startup, find a cofounder and apply to YCombina

Ugh - only deep pocketed individuals or investment funds can apply. For a second thought they had opened it up FundersClub/Wefunder style where any random person could take part. (Or at least accredited investor)

Investing in a single company (even YC) is just about as risky as investing in crypto. Disclaimer: I own a portion of about 100 YC companies. And some crypto.

Put it in Treasury Bills (ticker BIL for example). Safe as cash if you believe the US government isn't going bankrupt. 1% yield at the moment.

Mainly the single file output. And PDFs fit nicely into our (ancient) document management tools. Also pretty confident they will look the same despite browser changes down the road.

Ideal for me is a giant window facing a green space. My current fav is guest bedroom on 2nd floor of my house with great views of the park.

A fool would judge their algorithm based on ANY single year's performance--up down or sideways. Moving averages over 5 or 10 years are what matter. Check out Berkshire Hathaway's performance. There are plenty of years they have UN

Not being sarcastic or proud, I know I (barely) lost. Just stating the facts. Obviously over a long term horizon of like 10 yrs I expect to beat the S&P or I would be spending my time elsewhere.
