   Just my 2 cents. The really exciting part about what you are doing is making 401Ks easier for businesses. The really scary thing is this whole page - https://captain401.com/investment-philosophy I for one don't want a

   A couple times today, I found myself in the middle of something and came back to HN to procrastinate. I saw the Finish Your Stuff headline and left to finish what I was doing. I need to have a little banner on top of my computer that says &

    Severance packages can be equally about financial extortion, liability mitigation and goodwill. You need to sign something to get the severance package and it probably says that you aren't going to the press to complain about being fir

    Yea, if they wanted to get paid/severance, they had to do what they were asked to do. Seems reasonable? It sucks that someone else got their job but they were under no obligation to stick around unless they wanted to get paid.

    Linkedin is paying for the content and ongoing business model. Lynda had $100M in revenue in 2014. Sure LinkedIn could have replicated the content but they are taking an existing business that works, building on it, and assuming that by mar
