If they weren't infringing, the companies wouldn't be paying. It's not like we are talking about some mom and pop that is going to go out of business from legal fees. We are talking major handset manufacturers.

Right. Apple can't compete at all with android devices. Those same android devices that were originally copies of iPhones. Remember that android was just a better blackberry before iPhone came along.

I really like the idea of money as freedom. I'll take it a step further though, and that is the ability to generate at least somewhat passive income whether from a business or from investments. Not having to make money right now is key

I'd love to know where you get your mortgages. 900 of 1000 most certainly does not go to equity unless you are in the last few years. At first it's more like the reverse, and that's not counting pmi (we are talking about low

As a developer I can say this post is right on the mark. Screenshots are infinitely more important than your description, especially the first screenshot. People download directly from the search results now, especially when talking about f

This is a tough one. I quit several years ago to work for myself so I know what a struggle this can be. I personally can't just sit and code for 8 hours every day. I'd go nuts. Some days I end up working much more than 8 hours if

You must be one of those poor oppressed middle class white males from America. It's so rough that people call your racist comments racist. How dare they.

I thought it was perfectly clear when I read it. If you are already at a later stage or want more money or a different valuation, this other part of the company is still into normal VC stuff. However, if we invest in you in this program we

He's just commenting on it, and it's a reasonable comment at that. It's not like he's telling pg how to run his business.

Seems lots of people are calling the terms terrible, but for an early stage investment it seems pretty reasonable to me. Plenty of things are in the 1M valuation and under range. If you are shooting for something 8 figures or higher, in the

Everything is luck, and everything isn't luck. I make the comparison talking about my app business. Making a great app is like buying a lottery ticket that happens to have an expected outcome of greater than 0. The better you make the

"Long period of time" and "50 years" aren't really the same thing in my book. You can get lucky for awhile. At some point it stops being luck. I'm not sure where that line is, but I am confident though that Buf

Warren Buffett?

Perhaps you should look into Warren Buffett. I hear he's pretty good too. Peter Lynch was alright as well.

You seem to say this a lot whenever something about EMH get's posted - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6690838 The existence of Warren Buffett disproves EMH.[1] EMH basically says that beating the market is pure l

I'm a conservative. One would probably assume I'd be against a universal basic income. In theory I am, but I actually think I find the basic income much more palatable than the current welfare state. At least with the basic income

Friedman supported a negative income tax. While somewhat similar, it is not the same thing.

Actually, while I do see what you are saying, I don't think it's that ridiculous. If they have a house with lots of equity they aren't included in this. If you have a negative net worth you aren't doing that great. If yo

This is exactly right. The parent is right that it doesn't represent the world of many Americans, but for most of them, it is their own fault. i'm sorry if that that offends anyone, but stop living beyond your means and you can sa

yeah, but it seems like you'd give yourself more than a few weeks of runway. Don't have to buy 5 years worth, but perhaps 3-6 months would be reasonable. The peace of mind has got to be worth the ever so slight cost increase.

Slightly off topic but similar, a friend and I tend to have a frustrating talk about some company (startups and old stable businesses alike) who fails to successfully take our money once every week or two. Seriously people, just ask people

So, I think bitcoin sort of shot itself in the foot with the low number of total bitcoins. I think if the actual $ value per bitcoin was more in line with the dollar, people would be more willing to spend them. Yes, you can spend fractions
