You bring up a good political point actually, glad you brought it up. Apple doesn't use it's most mass-market product, the iPad, to develop the next iPad. But it does use Macs, probably even where they're slightly worse than PC's. If some

You make a good argument for communist ownership of real estate by the government. Not good enough of an argument, but a good argument. the thing is, though, isn't that what makes new york so unique? you don't think the right and attracti

The points are good, but missing the elephant in the room: when you are competing with the best companies in the world in software (where the marginal cost is 0), you simply can't afford to compete using anything less than the best stuff.

what if it's harder to cut a perfect half than it is to tell which half is bigger? what if the pizza usually 'splits' into a bigger and smaller half? i'm not sure the protocol is a good answer, the assumption bothers me.

it's up to you but with that many sentences and enumerated rules of response you might consider making your rebuttal by linking to what you would consider a more typical picture of you. it's very hard to have this discussion when what we se

well, you're not ''wrong''. I hope you will agree though that working for 18 months without pay at a startup very much stretches the definition of "employee". (as opposed to "cofounder" or "unpaid intern"). most people who can claim the t

Hi, I'm specifically comparing to the trust required to be a cofounder. I've been both an early employee and a cofounder. The level of trust I needed in my cofounder to enter the business on the terms we did is simply 1000x bigger than th

OK, I see what the downvote is for. But let me explain why I say you "shouldn't build anything" until you have traction or a strong product/market fit. Building ANYTHING takes money. You might not think so, but it's true: you can't build

I just don't see that. Where's the trust - as an early employee you have an employment contract that will be enforced by law, you get cash coming in every two weeks or monthly that is also enforced by law, and your employer owes you a bunc
