If the women in question had gone to the actual courts, rather than the Scala community, they might have had an opportunity to see justice (assuming their allegations are true). But because they chose to make very public accusations that we

All the quotes I included are factual, and help explain the OP. Yet they're being downvoted. It's a shame HN operates like this. Some people's narratives are so fragile the only way they can survive is to silence all other na

Thanks for the recommendation. I just tried Boldin and it looks good, but seems to be US-centric? I'm in the UK and it didn't model my situation very accurately unfortunately

Elon's pay package was very unusual. He would be paid a salary of zero. He would only receive compensation if he drove his company to ridiculously high growth, and only if he sustained that over a number of years. This package was agre
