Have seen the photos showing Obama, Elizabeth Warren, and AOC making Nazi salute? You can catch anyone making any gesture with enough time and camera angles.

We are a 15 year old small company with 250 full time employees. I completely bootstrapped the company and never took a dime of debt or any investor money. We do web design and online marketing work. I tried building some products, and thou

Actual investor here... The other advice I see is baloney. You get 50%. Your partner gets 50%. If and when you actually leave, then you renegotiate based on actual future contributions of each of you, maybe let your partner increase another

When did HN start supporting and sharing Communist ideas like that government regulation solves things? Government regulation almost always protects incumbents, hurts innovation, raises prices for everyone, and creates corruption.

Modern finance is the true villain; it removes businesses from the hands of the real founders who understand it and puts it in the hands of clueless MBAs.

Facial recognition is far easier and better than people recognize. Facebook launched this nearly twenty years ago and it was fantastic then. Just imagine how good it is now.

Fascinating article. People like to look down on Africa for high teen pregnancy, but teen pregnancy is exactly what allows the human species to continue.

Sa Walton's autobiography is the best business book I have ever read out of hundreds. Closely followed by Henry Ford's.

Zuckerberg came out and explicitly said the far left Biden administration censored Facebook directly. That is the real concern, not random silly SEO'd results that will be fixed quickly.

The government grows like a cancer as it has no mechanism like bankruptcy to remove dead wood. Agencies start out with a mission, then turn into a business, and finally become a con job. Most agencies are deep into the corrupt territory at

How is a small government authoritarian? By nature, it is the opposite... You have freedoms to do as you please without government interference.

I have thought about selling to PE as well, I founded my company in 2009 as well. But I have seen too many times how PE breaks promises made to customers and employees and I think it is unethical to sell to them.

Thank you for keeping this inflammatory garbage to a minimum. If photographers followed anyone around for a day, they could catch you do any number of silly poses.

Civil asset forfeiture laws are theft our founders would have fought to the death against. Shut down the federal agencies that are so corrupt they use these to steal from citizens like us.

Reddit is absolutely terrible, it has an extreme far left bias and banned anyone with a different opinion.

Doctors usually only care about money, and use regulatory capture to get it. That's why the US spends 27% of GDP on doctors and hospitals even though we only see a doctor mostly an hour per year.

Government is definitely the worst here. Zero accountability means that after a while working there, even the most motivated best worker will have his desire to work destroyed by watching less competent people do nothing and move ahead. The

Fantastic article, I loved it PG! So many prigs on here have criticized you though for violating their religion. You own one of the largest outlets for prigs around! How can you solve it?

We need to stop having government bailouts for natural disasters, that just incentivizes people to keep doing what has been shown not to work.

"Sustainability" is a garbage buzzword that at best means money being wasted on people writing pointless reports and usually means pushing a far left agenda.

This article is written from an extreme far left perspective if the author thinks it is "far right" to support free speech and oppose intrusive government regulations.

Side note - working at Google once used to be a sign of competence, but I would never hire anyone but has worked there in the last 6 years as all of the products have degraded significantly.

Excellent book about the strength of a free market and the extreme damage government bureaucrats cause.

Autobiographies are far better than biographies here as the biographers typically have no clue as to what made the successful person successful. The best autobiography I've ever read in terms of nuggets of wisdom is Sam Walton's m

Children. They are the purpose in life. Literally every biology textbook says every life form from amoeba to whales to people seek to reproduce. Having a family is by fat the best thing I have ever done. I have been independently wealthy no
