I was hell banned on HN for mentioning it so this will be my last post, but think about royalties. Do you get any of the things you build? Or if you left your job, would you be legally required to delete all your work and have to pay tax m

Since there was no criminal misconduct, everyone realized their mistakes, admitted them, and changed things to prevent further mistakes. I'm not sure you could ask for more from humans. So ya, I'll give him a pass on this one. I

Microsoft waits on the sidelines til winners emerge then just buy the winners. Similar to what government is doing except earlier. I guess it works. I don't want to support that though. Time to find a new git host.

Nah, I grew up in Texas. It's a counterculture thing, most people consider it trashy to fly the confederate flag.

> I can only speak to the US but this is much more an insurance issue than a wealth issue. When I made $30k a year I had a ~$75k surgery and it cost me about $1200 all in, including follow-up copays with the surgeon, because I had good i

Don't listen to risk-averse engineers. You are young, invest in high risk things you believe in. Make it an active investment if you can. Recognize who is giving you boring advice(index funds), look at the risk levels in their life,

It's bigger than that. It's about disenfranchisement of the people. Less than 2% of accredited investors are black, less than 5% women. Capitalism in tech can be thought of as voting for the future with your money. The JOBS act

I plan to create value at a startup where they give me fair ownership of the project I'm working on, and once it's successful I'll live off royalties. Wait what's that about developer royalties?

That's not how you argue a point. California can have both migrating homeless and an uncaring political class.

These politicians created a new 'right' and exempted the government from it. This is bound to end well.

Sure. QE is buying stock with printed money, inflating stock prices. People with lots of stocks get inflated value. When the inflated value leaves the stock market, it has an effect of deflating the value of the USD. It's a slow in

What is alt-right? I thought it was people who don't like immigration. Seems to have nothing to do with this. Edit: Just read up on the term. It's meaningless.
