The answer is a wealth tax. The inequality grows leading into a need for investments like these. If all other assets weren't so inflated then we could at least wish PE wouldn't nee…

This is also due to inequality which leads to more and more of the same. There just aren't many ways entrepreneurs can add value. It is easier to capture it from assets needed by l…

Funeral homes and anything else not run by a single professional has had this treatment. This is due to inequality. The wealthy have nowhere left to invest but things like this whi…

Author would have a better point if he talked about how the widespread use of memes/animated gifs is what makes such platforms into junk.

False. He actually has went and reworked troll posts he made in the past. Thats what this guy does. He has no intellectual integrity. His technical background (calling yourself COO…

In the past, this person trolled Bitshares to make a name for themselves. They selectively cut'n'pasted snippets of the Bitshares forum as some form of evidence in other posts. The…

The advice is, "tell the person what they want to hear". It is absolutely no surprise that the author does not stick around at one job either.

This is an awful article. How is it at the top of ycombinator. There is no breakdown of any costs or what their living standard ACTUALLY is. These people could very well (and likel…

This is why anytime you are dealing with things that anyone could conceivably find questionable you either develop a website or skip Apple. Their fanboys tend to have money, but le…

This is idiotic. The author harps on the "direct wealth transfer" and optimizing for previous employees. This "optimization" happens before employees are hired, not after they leav…

Why is this voted up? Drug dealers are going to use Uber? Duh.

Yes. Cuffs "cut his hands". They apparently sold the laptop with the evidence. Gun "in his back".I hate cops more than these geeks but even I can figure out BS. The "buyer" blamed …

Rackspace seems to like to hire lovable losers. They claim they are exceedingly selective, but they never go into details about what traits they value. They seem to value people wh…

You learn more from failures. Being part of a big success can mean nothing more than gettin' lucky. People are dumb. The problem is it is near impossible to attribute the failures …

Dude looked white to me. Not sure what your point here would be.

I've never known anyone who acted reasonably have a spit mask put over their face. Only place I was arrested. I was off the charts drunk and treated 100% fairly. Long hair and all.…

If you were to reference the anti-gun propaganda which went over mass shootings in recent history, Austin is distinctly lacking for a city of its size. Yes, there have been shootin…

Yes, but there is no real story yet. People do legitimately become detained for things. It sucks, but thats what happens when you show up to demonstrations etc which the author alu…

It was one volunteer. How stupid can you be? It was not "SXSW".

Why is this crap making it to the top of ycombinator? I am perfectly happy seeing SXSW not screw with Austin for a week. This guy was probably detained for suspicion of a crime. Au…

This is why I dislike Bitcoin. So many better crypto-currencies that do not have the power consumption scale with the value.

Yes! Finally someone who understands that science is more magic than anything. If you pray and hope things will always change. I invented a magic shoe that absords CO2. Once the pa…

POW's waste has always disturbed me. If BTC was inherited as the global store of value it would just help destroy with planet with the emissions required for security.

I spent way too much of my life writing a poker bot at one point. I became disheartened as players were getting better and poker clients changed. HU limit holdem would have been th…

User records can still be created and indexed locally, but the actual authentication requires using a trusted 3rd party that is decentralized and can not readily be compromised. Un…
