IRA is investment until your retirement. A lot will happen by then. The classical advise is to devise a simple strategy (say age in bonds, 100-age in S&P500) and stick to it, contributing regularly. When downturn or upturn comes you reb

The ICO concept is fundamentally solid and is more efficient then traditional funding sources. What currently lack is the implementation. Both technological and legal frameworks need lots of work, but I bet it'll happen

bitcoin is probably doomed in US because it is taxed as asset and isn't considered a "money" by the IRS. Hence to actually legally use it as a money is a huge pain tax-wise (imagine having to calculate holding periods and cap

Exactly. This is potentially very damaging to every Californian, because suddenly a rich guy is able to block beach access from public.

Apparently you've never lived in a state with censorship like I did (it was USSR). Never again.

I don't see how censoring content to minors only conflicts with freedom of speech. For example, You can't vote until you are 18 even if you are a us citizen.

I think it is time for gov regulations on social networks and search engines. For starters, enforcing basic rights like freedom of speech. Also more scrutiny into what (ads and content) get shown to minors.

I am raising my own kids and I am terrified of the amount and quality of videos I see very little kids watch all the time. Of course, I am not an authority for other parents, but I hope AAP (American association of apediatrics) is.

Great tool for a parent. Make sure you have a look at AAP recommendations for screen time.

Giving children autonomy is quite easy actually - parent just has to be a little inventive. For example, my 2 year old loves helping me by taking walking around with the mop, placing thing (not toys) from one box to another, etc. I wonder

Kids aged 2 and 3 should watch any content together with their parent. Or at the very least, the content that parent watched and approved before. No 2 or 3 year old should be mindlessly browsing Youtube

If you are software engineer, then you are spoiled for choice. When I left Bing, their censorship in China (unlike Google) was a minor reason for me leaving. So, while it wasn't the reason, it did contribute to my decision to leave.

They do have influence here (in US) and there (in China). They should certainly comply with law and push for change together with US government. If change is not happening and laws aren't just then they certainly should leave.

This is called culturalism. Saying X is not for race Y is racism. Saying that X is not for culture Y is culturalism. There is really not that much difference here. Because I am Chinese/Saudi/Russian etc. in no way implies that I,

It is amazing how people "just don't get it". Laws can (and ocassionaly) should be changed. They should not be violated. The discussion here is about a person constantly violating the law, court order and just getting away wi

I wonder if the public opinion (in SV) can be turned enough against Khosla for this. To the point it'll hurt his businesses. Much like it was (deservedly) turned against Uber for their behavior.

>> "the penalties for ignoring the courts are not severe enough" - This seems to violate state's constitution. How can this be something anyone can regularly get away with?!

So the court ruled he must restore the access and he just ignores the ruling. Can someone explain again why? And, of course, as a surfer and computer scientist I find Mr. Khosla disgusting because of this.
