All major Silicon Valley law firms (Gunderson, Wilson Sonsini, Fenwick, Cooley) will defer your fees to get you as a client. You should negotiate at least $15k-$20k of deferral of fees if you are a startup, which means you won't cut them a

Meh. PayPal gave you $10 in its early days; they should be doing the same, given the complexities and delays in setting up an account.

Is it real, and Republicans are fraudsters? Or is it a fake, and Democrats are fraudsters? Or is a Republican plant of a fake so that I believe I hate Democrats?!? Or maybe even Democrats planted an obvious fake, to make me think Republican

Looks awesome. I think you should reverse your header and sub-header, though. "Simple user accounts and analytics for your website" is a much clearer description than "Social Authentication Done Right."

I think it's important to note who the lobbyists are trying to speak for: it's you as a voter. Same with money. Bottom line: you cannot buy a political office anywhere in America. You still must be voted in. You also cannot directly give mo

This solves a really important problem, because who has ever heard of Christmas trees? Or knows when/where to buy them?

Re: struggling, issues of being bought off exist independent of salary. If someone can be bought off, making an extra $180k a year isn't going to stop them from taking more. So that's not really a valid concern, since it exists in both case

Oh, the retirement benefits are insane. Presidents have a guaranteed pension of $160k for the rest of their lives, funded outside of the social security system. Many local officials have even higher pensions. No matter how you do as Preside

That just seems like a dangerous argument, like we implicitly discriminate against poor people but won't say it directly. I disagree that wealth is an accurate proxy for capability in any field.

I don't either, and I didn't think about it until, like you, I was shocked. I think we owe it to ourselves to look into this.

All of this may be true, but I'd like to see the public record where legislature took a look at the existing candidates for elected official, didn't like the results, and decided to raise salaries in order to improve the candidates. My gues

I am 100% opposed to the TSA's policies. I also think we have no obligation to treat TSA agents with respect. Anyone who institutes an unconstitutional policy should be told so, flat out. Simply following orders or doing your job is no excu
