Twitter clearly wasn’t perfect, but it was a source of value to me as a user. I guess he’s just going to burn it all down.

I wish HN had a way to bubble up or highlight comments from particular people on an opt-in basis. Your comments are always insightful and high quality.

The level of narcissism here is astounding. The notion you can step in on day one to a complex organization and immediately have all the answers is psychotic.

And then what happens when you want to pay yourself a salary? Aren't you essentially paying corporate tax rate and income tax on that amount? Maybe that doesn't apply for a sole proprietorship, but does it for a small business?

Yeah, I was interested in this one and hoping to find more substance on the tax mechanisms that make this possible: > Working for yourself means you can earn less income than a normal salary and still make more due to tax reasons. When I

Do you only care about things that directly affect you negatively and personally? There are a lot of things that don’t affect me directly personally that I still care about. I don’t write open source public software with a restricted licens

I suspect this sort of behavior is one of the contributing factors that leads to the internal rot that brings companies down over the long run. Then a competitor comes along and runs laps around them and seals the deal. But monopolistic a

Inequality is pointless to talk about in a vacuum. Blue states tend to have higher wealth overall, so it's unsurprising there's a bigger measure of "inequality." On basically every economic point, blue states are bette
