While technically possible, since it would require a constitutional amendment, there is no plausible scenario under which the term of the US president will be extended in the foreseeable future.

I posted our family's very similar situation above. The S.Korean gov was quite reasonable about it. I have to wonder if there's things being left unsaid.

I have to wonder if there's something being left out of this article. My family was in very similar situations. Our family emigrated to the US from S. Korea. My little brother was in almost exactly the same situation as the guy in t

As far as I can tell, that article should properly be titled "A belief that life is a meritocracy is not only false, it's morally wrong". Most of the author's problems seem to revolve around the fact that real life is no

The US federal government does not have the power to do that.

At the same time, there is an underside to this. No one gets to choose their family, and a cultural that presumes familiar support is a cultural that makes life harder for those who happen to be born into dysfunctional or tragic families.

Banks have supported consumer-level API's since the 1990's. At first they were specific to Intuit Quicken and Microsoft Money but now they have moved to OFX (Open Financial eXchange). A partial list of banks that support OFX is h

They're not ignorant of it, they simply don't care. They don't care because the public good is not, never has been, and never will be, the primary goal of politicians and bureaucrats. They spout "economics" rhetor

Yeah, I too will trust models built from statistical analysis over "thinking". As a side note, in the financial world -- where being right means making money and being wrong means losing money -- the quants now rule the trading f

Most people I've spoken with about crypto prefer the way banks work. The idea that losing your keys means losing your money, with no recourse, terrifies them.

In between Automated Insights and my current startup Spiffy, I built Teaching Startup with $10,000 out of my own pocket, 60 hours a week of sweat equity [...] Past tense implies that you did it (and it's awesome that you did)... More

This is a silly and myopic article. That sounds harsh but I can't think of a nicer description. Moreover, the author himself describes doing it for far less ($10k). I don't mean to be a curmudgeon here, but IMO, I think articles

24,500 injection drug users in SF means they are classifying one in in every 36 people as a "drug addict". This amount, if true, is over 20x higher than the national mean. Maybe it's true, but I find it difficult to believe

There's no such thing as "standard". "This is a standard contract" is something lawyers say to get you to agree to things you may not have otherwise agreed to. I'm not saying this flippantly. I've negoti

And remove/edit the vesting schedule. A vesting schedule of this sort may be reasonable for YC, but is unreasonable in some other cases. Many founds have already invested their life savings (and more) and years of work without pay.

"Tariffs help US businesses and american workers. It's why the first major act of congress was a tariff." Well, one can argue about whether or not tariffs help domestic businesses and workers, but that was not the reason tari

But what about the province of Sichuan? They have about the same population as Germany. Shouldn't they be allowed to pollute as much under your theory? After all, Germany is simply part of the EU.

500,000 drivers * $20,000/car => $10,000,000,000 or $10 bil, not $10 trillion. Thus far, Uber has raised $24.2 bil in financing so they could have bought cars for every driver easily. No idea what they did with all that money.

That's what they said in 1988 when I started my career. Seriously, the same sort as the article writer were saying the exact same thing in the 1990's. Nothing has changed. They were wrong then and are wrong now. Someday, they

I wholeheartedly agree. When we go camping, one of my rules is no clocks. I find that, within a few days, we wake up just before dawn without consciously doing anything. It seems natural, everyone just falls into it. And for me at lea

Why? This is a serious question, not an snarky quip. Why should we try to build a civilization that lasts a very very long time (i.e. thousands of years)?
