You make an excellent and fair point if it stops at this. The problem starts when the successful business starts to take advantage of loopholes with their wealth(lobbying, offshoring income, jobs) to advance their ability to make profit at

<but the problem is if everyone did this strategy many companies would go unfunded> Unfunded by VCs- Not unfunded per se. You can always bootstrap or get Angel-funded. If you are making a dentist office software, find a rich dentist-

Its hard to put any credibility into scandalous stories like this because there's always 2 sides to a story. If this was really true, I can't imagine why anyone with multiple options to work elsewhere would tolerate his BS. Person

Great idea, but expect some resistance. The worst abusers are fighting even a minor increase $2K in the visa fees. http://in.reuters.com/article/india-united-states-visa-idINK...

It would be cool if more of the senior management with >$5M options did that. If the company prospers they could easily negotiate high rewards again. Its normally the rank and file who get standardized bit-sized options.

I don't think they are protesting the tech industry per se, but they unfairness when rich and speculative companies push unsustainable conditions (high cost of living) on society. For example- Highly paid engineers from a large Tech Un

This is really fascinating to me. Since they are fraudulent anyway, why wouldn't they just say they are a recruiter from Google and get you to accept their connection request. Do they get more responses by claiming they are Nigerian Pr

I think the author just made this up in an hour with some weak arguments. No doubt LinkedIn is becoming very spammy from all the puzzles and (gasp) personal stuff like 'My son-in-law is having an operation, please pray for him'. H

This is awesome and exactly what I want sometimes when trying to figure out if a restaurant is in a good area, how parking might be near a destination, or if an apt I'm thinking of renting is in a good area. Its possible to do in Stre

Not sure about that. My house and that of most friends dropped around 25-35% from the peak in 06-07 by 08-09 and only got back to the peak in 2015.

Its actually pretty cool to see Microsoft 'hacking' the visa system. They opened a center in Vancouver and put all their international hires there for 1 year, then brought them into the US on an L1 which allows them to get a green

Got in close to the bottom with the QQQ in 2009. Chickened out and thought we'd reached a top in 2013 and cashed out. Was sitting in cash for 2 years. Now I believe we're going down. I'm shorting through options to get some b

I'm not sure what the author is getting at but I think the Model X is a mistake- mostly only because of the falcon doors. 1. It is too ostentatious for most people - especially in its biggest market- the bay area. You can hide a gold

'what it means in terms of stock' Exactly- The problems (big price drop) arise only when the stock price is at unreasonably high levels based on unreasonable growth assumptions by Wall Street. So the same people that cause it go &

What if you are not the consultant? Find a consultant, place him/her on a gig and charge the client a 20% markup. Place 5 consultants and you make 100% of a consultant salary with no time sink.

Not really- but Google probably thinks they might be able to. Applying it's monopoly power, Google can easily charge more for its services if required. If it's moonshot projects fail to generate returns or its monopoly is threaten

Given all car makers are investing in driverless cars- why don't they install sensors or guide-wires into roads to mark lanes, etc. the next time they are repaving/repairing roads? won't that be much safer than having to rely
