Yeah, it's called double taxation: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/double_taxation.asp If you own a C-Corp, you pay taxes on the profits of the business, plus whatever you pay yourself. Not too surprisin

True, nefarious is a strong word. Sounds like he thoroughly embarrassed the art world but I would reserve nefarious for a select group of serious crimes.

I have received a "suspicious activity" warning on Twitter for any new account I've helped open up over the last year. You can confirm your identity by entering your phone number and receiving a text. I feel like it's mo

Twitter was billed as a microblogging platform. Blog posts are 1-way communication. Want a discussion? Allow comments and make them visually separate and less prominent just like blogs do.

I can't think of another business (outside of promotional activities) that requires you to accept something you don't want to reduce the price. It does seem like a breakdown in their pricing logic rather than anything injurious th

Just like ETFs, unless you're 1% brilliant or have insider information you're unlikely to beat the market over an extended period of time. If I could only make a few big or medium size investments I'd probably follow the mark

I used to work on the top floor of River Park Towers, right in the fight path of the SJC approach and next to Adobe HQ. It felt like planes were barely passing over the roof until I made the approach in the air and felt like it must have be

I'd much rather fly out of SJC than SFO. SJC has a good number of domestic and international flights and the parking, pickup and security is much faster and easier to navigate. Also, you approach based on the wind.

Seems like we're always finding new precedents to set like the "nuclear option" in the Senate. And 230yrs is pretty young for a country.

Yeah, which feels like a slippery slope into political takeovers, especially since the speaker of the house is 3rd in line. If Republicans were guaranteed to keep the President and VP slot, you'd see an impeachment much more easily. I

Lots of smoke for sure, but I'd much rather follow due process and wait for a crime to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt in a legal setting. Otherwise you're setting a dangerous precedent.

In SF, I drove by a big road sign that said "DUI checkpoint ahead". It seemed like the SFPD was advertising it a few blocks in advance and it was easy enough to take another street to avoid it if you wanted to.
