Related: is anyone here part of any sort of secret societies in Silicon Valley that they want to write about? I've heard rumors about these sorts of things, but never read anything specific on the web.

I'm sure these are solid founders, but I have to ask: how on earth did this idea get into YC? What was the rationale for thinking this would be a great portfolio company; splitting bills? I'm sure it was a lot of work to set up 5,

This is interesting, because Wealthfront previously claimed to be a research backed start-up that provided optimal risk / volatility tradeoffs. It seems like they've given up claiming their portfolios are the best available and gi

Anyone from https://www.dedrone.com/ able to comment? It seems surprising that they took no action other than observing. The US Navy seems to get upset when other boats come near them, yet were tolerant of a UAV over their

If he had emigrated to Canada, he gets a 30% boost in currency and his medical bills drop to closer to $0. 1.2M is more than most people earn in a lifetime, so seems he should be set up for leanFIRE. That said, the article seemed pretty hil

It really isn't. SpaceX is in LA, and engineers that can get jobs there can easily work at google. $20K in net profit is a drop in the bucket.

As someone ignorant, and I mean no disrespect by saying this... this thread reads like an H.P. Lovecraft or Dan Brown novel. Please keep this thread alive, it's fascinating!

YES! If they're giving Tesla incentives give battery operated leaf blowers incentives as well. Super happy cities are starting to do this, hope my neighborhood could as well. State should step up subsidies to encourage this.

That's not "artificially" low. You need to do a residency to be properly trained to handle all kinds of situations. Your surgeon can't be in a position of "well I've never done this in a supervised setting so

Exactly. Watching Gantz, you wait for that moment at the end where something happens and realize you've wasted 10 hours of your life. Accused of a crime? You may realize you've wasted your life in jail because you hired a bad law

Please enlighten us on how this is not the fault of RH for not being properly capitalized to handle some volatility. Stocks go up 10X in a day every day. GME just happens to be the stock du jour, trade in scary pharma and you get this sort

Hint: if something is free, you might be paying for it in other ways. The collateral obligations to run a brokerage are a real thing and these under capitalized brokerages are messing with the market. There's a reason the big boys trad

Just my suspicion but I think the big thing is going to be what happens when you leave your remote job and try to find a new one. At the moment, in Silicon Valley, that answer is pretty obvious. . . you can find another job. Outside of sil
