I don't find this argument compelling. It doesn't matter why you take the money. It matters that you took the money and keep saying it doesn't matter. If it doesn't matter, why did they take it? For the benefits and they did benefit fr

Were they successful without taking investors money? I mean, they took investors money, so how do we know? We don't know how much Bezos gave them, it could have been millions. I don't know. Maybe someone knows, but to say they were able

I think it's really tragic what is happening to the youth in america. they have no power, no wealth, no experience, no education, no skills, no credit... nothing. People who are older have worked and gathered all the above and still, cong

I wish they would change it back to the way it was when usenet was popular. Years ago, when I was looking for an answer, the first place I would go is dejanews and google destroyed that pretty much... so sad.

For more info about the original topic, see this documentary about the legal system in the u.s. It shows cops driving around in SUVs and using guns and stuff they seized without warrant or arrest or conviction of crimes. It also clearly s

I call it "intellectual masturbation." Mutual intellectual masturbation in the case of TED and I participate remotely over the internet in a voyeuristic manner stroking my curiosity as I watch the people on stage.

Tax is not forced. The government doesn't force you to pay taxes. They punish you if you don't pay taxes and you earn more money than you spend keeping your business running. However, there are myriad ways to legally pay zero tax and ma

wow. i am so glad I haven't logged into any google products since they launched this. I may create brand new accounts. I don't use gmail, thank goodness! I knew my reluctance to use Google products would pay dividends.

I second this, everyone should be contractors and you should structure it so that they are all, including yourself, are paid on 1099. This requires some special configuration. They should only be in an office a certain percentage of the we

More support for incorporating early is that the date of incorporation is important to some organizations and if you aren't incorporated, they'll simply pass on you. Having been incorporated for the 5 years prior has value. Of course it de

That they aren't doing this is why Jobs called them lazy. They are lazy. There is no reason it should take 40% of the CPU to show a video in a flash embed on a laptop. If they can't optimize any better than that, how are they ever going

I'm not sure that's true. There is no value in gold, it's imaginary and over time, people have tended to give up beliefs in imaginary things.

When you're poor you instinctively accumulate stuff. If that is the case, why is this instinct part of poor people and not rich people? I tend to see it most often in people who have lost a lot, like one of the other comments mentions li

Also not all cows slaughtered provide leather. Usually leather cows are kept in pins without barbed wire to provide better quality leather. That would narrow it down even more.

Yeah, how about all GOOG employees release exactly the same information on themselves that they released on others without their permission. That'll show they are sorry.

I see the case where someone using shopify could want to do something like this. If enough shopify users ask for it, they could add it, but it's a pretty esoteric feature needed by relatively few shops, because traditionally, individuals s
