I forgot to never discuss things that require experiences on HN. A "special economic zone" or "special administrative area" is what is being suggested. Which is ridiculous because that is exactly what people moving to Ca

They go to some lengths to dance around the issue. If you can't pay for the space based on a sustainable amount of donations, or other recurring income, you aren't running a space you are running a business and a lot of businesses

I can admire you attitude and I wouldn't encourage you to chase money. Many people on Hacker News lack perspective because of the bland way that Hacker News works. But I would still fear that being underpaid isn't sustainable, esp
