This is a truly personal matter that, in my opinion, bears no relevance to his public-facing leadership role and responsibilities. He's into BDSM, so what? If your PornHub/xHamster/whatever search history was exposed, how cat

Apparently "going concern" is a common term that laymen understand. It is not jargon.

Just because developers can feasibly work from anywhere, especially remotely for already-established companies, do not immediately presume that it is best for developers to work from anywhere. Working remotely is not for everyone. Some peop

I can only assume that Intel will axe some of the C-Suite and attempt to rekindle the flame with Tesla. Mobileye was functioning a bit too much like a traditional (and glacial) vendor in the automotive industry. Tesla wanted to develop and

The 2002 article mentions that the radioisotope was found in the crust. The new article mentions that the radioisotope was found in a biologically-produced magnetite crystal. I think that the general thesis is that -- yes, we are made of st

I love how you put this. To be fair, the TAG Magnet did have race-based quotas until very recently. Let's just say that the school is now ... less diverse. Although, the 1% "other", which encompassed all East and West Asian,

So you have 12 groups of numbers, two with decimals, one with a comma. Just need to figure out where to put them. :)

So were you the only one working longer hours? And if you felt so undervalued, why didn't you ask for a raise at any point over those 8 years? Perhaps your work ethic is why you were given the options in the first place? It seems like

It's not a matter of salary or saving for me anymore. I've brokered a few patent acquisitions, each of which would have allowed me to stop working altogether. And it was an abrupt transition from earning $200k to netting a somewha

This is a good post. I was just having a discussion with someone on HN who considered $200k pre-tax to be affluent, and suggested that if you couldn't save $80k post-tax annually, you're doing it wrong. Having lived at $30k, $200k

I have a CPA tax attorney who handles this for me. As I said in the other reply, I don't think that I am out of touch. $200k isn't as much as people make it out to be. It's enough to not worry about monthly commitments, but i

So let me get this right. This hypothetical includes a $200k salary. Once you consider Federal income tax, FICA, and State income tax, you're sitting $130k in CA and NY, $135k in OK, etc. You want to "put away" $80k/year

by iplaw 10y ago
I think that you grossly overestimate what a $200k income actually gets you in terms of ability to aggregate wealth. If you're hoping to work until you're 65 and live off of a meager 401(k), then sure. Have at it. If you want an e
