I agree with you on these points, but think the vehicle deaths makes for a poor comparison since we're not really advancing science in the same way. I'm guessing that NASA would have its pick of qualified volunteers for a manned M

And I do. I donate regularly to several charities that are focused on poverty (both at a local and global level) and volunteer time at some of those. What my comment was meant to communicate is that if I had a substantially higher income&#x

So my disclaimer is that if I ever retired with a net worth in that neighborhood, I would also put the bulk of it to work combating poverty. That said, it's his money. He can spend as he sees fit and unless he sees clubbing baby seals

I'd encourage you to reread Sam's post. The whole premise is that the typical terms of a Series A investment no longer include a board seat by default for said investor. He does say that board members don't have to be inves

In the context of sama's post, the formal board member will have made a financial investment. That means that s/he has committed either his/her own money, or that of an LP; in a good board member, this creates alignment and e

In theory, sure. The practical issue is that advisors often don't have as great an incentive to be highly engaged.

The livestream of this event, both browser and Apple TV access, is an unmitigated disaster. I'm not sure I've ever seen something go this poorly, and I'm certain I've never seen an Apple event go this poorly.

Agree, but reluctantly. Given Paypal's horrendous history of freezing funds and poor customer support, I use it only when I have serious doubts about a site's generic form.

Wholeheartedly agree, and have noticed my self-perceived break even point on the trade off between time and money moves toward sacrificing money the older I get. My father in law has a memorable quote that sticks with me: "is your time

I would contend that though you are at the tail end of the curve that doesn't need an intermediary, many of your customers are likely to need/desire an intermediary to facilitate for the people you mention, with no idea how to g

Ugh. Good for Netflix. Any consumer who doesn't have a strong opinion in favor of net neutrality should read this sort of thing. It's hard to think of a relationship I detest more than my relationship with my ISP/MSO.

Fair enough for an example that is fighting an illegal activity whose origins are outside of the country, but that seems like a fringe scenario, albeit a huge market. In the context of a business start, it is almost always more beneficial t

Your argument is absolutely true in the long run, from a global perspective. But can you really argue that the country in which a business is founded wouldn't benefit more than a neighboring country?
