I’m not defending OP, but steroids aren’t magic, you still need protein to build muscle.

Bill Pearl became a vegetarian at age 39, at the end of his bodybuilding career. And he ate eggs and dairy products. And he was a body builder in the 50’s and 60’s. But other than that…great example!

> if you want strong bones and muscles, eat what strong animals like gorillas and bulls eat. This is a really silly comparison, to compare humans to animals with different genetics, digestion traits and hormones. Male gorillas have MASSI

No we don’t. In fact we rarely tax intra-family money transfers. When I pay for my kids’ college, that’s not taxed. Buy then a car at 16 - untaxed.

This is one of the silliest comments I’ve read on HN: it’s not fair to have successful parents that love you, therefore the government must step in and fix that.

Neither did the government. Why shouldn’t the person who did earn it get to decide what happens to it? After all, they could choose to donate some to the government. No one does though, voluntarily, because we all know that money would ge

I don’t think the chart is showing that Gen X is screwed at all. It’s just showing that as the Baby Boomer gen dies off, the inheritance will reach an inflection point. It’s looks bad compared to Millennials because the passed down wealth f

What’s the argument FOR an inheritance tax, when it comes to fairness? The person who’s passsing the money down already paid tax on the money, whether income tax or capital gains tax. The government already got a hefty chunk of that earned

As an isolated counter point, in high school I went to a summer program (aka “nerd camp”) where we had Japanese drilled into us from 8am - 9am every day for 5 weeks by native Japanese speakers. I can still count to 10 today 20+ years later.

I think the opposite applies here - they want “passionate” people because they’re the ones that will work > 40 hours for free.

Who’s the target audience for this? Businesses only? I don’t see consumers plopping down $3k for this in the mass numbers that would matter to Apple’s bottom line.

The only thing sillier than technical analysis is using technical analysis on make-believe money. Looking for a pattern is human nature. Your “sample size” of 3 is by no means indicative of anything. “Historical precedence” - they teach yo

Yeah, this isn’t correct. All things being equal, the first to post a number is at a big advantage. As another commenter pointed out, this is called anchoring. Think about a house being sold in a normal market, the price is always well abov

Where’d you get the number $35k as half of Americans? Median household income in the US is $70k.

It was never well capitalized. They used their own made up token as an asset and assigned a fake inflated valuation to it.

This shouldn’t be surprising at all after seeing their balance sheet with round numbers like $5,000,000,000 in assets and $12,000,000,000 in liabilities. It looked like SBF made it in Excel while his LoL game was loading.

No excuse? Really? You don’t want to dial that back a notch and acknowledge the pending recession and the rash of over hiring in the tech market? And perhaps you’ve forgotten, Bezos isn’t CEO any more and doesn’t have anything to do with d

We’re all missing the big gotcha here - if he tried to sell out, the buyer would have done some DD and found the fraud as quick as Binance did. Best to keep quiet about your crimes.

There are dozens, maybe hundreds, of tech companies in the US hiring remotely with compensation between $180k - $250k right now. RSUs might not be the same as SV companies, but we all know those RSUs are worth sh*t right now anyway.

The counterpoint to the items you listed as Europe doing better than the United States (better infrastructure is very debatable) is that Europe suffers from perpetual stagnant economic growth, extremely low tech worker pay, brain drain of t

Most developers in SV bounce around companies every 2-4 years, so using your Netherlands formula, they'd only get Compensation = 1.3 months of salary, Notice = 1 month.
