There are various precious metal trading companies that will buy the bullion from you at close to spot if it's kept in its original assay and has documentation. If not in assay, th…

I used to buy gold bullion as a sneaky way to get credit card points on the cheap (and then use them for first class flights around the world). You could usually do the trade profi…

So I'm basically reading this as putting blame for Iran's reprehensible regime and its crackdown on its citizen yearning for freedom on Britain and the US. No… let's stop with this…

Tech founders don't get stabbed in Zurich. In fact, basically nobody gets stabbed in Zurich. They do in SF. In contrast, 6.5% of the population in SF is the victim of crime every y…

The DA should focus on prosecuting the criminals, not the police. I don't think the police are the ones ruining SF at the moment.

I find it shocking that anyone still chooses to live in this broken city. I left >4 years ago and am never coming back. It's unfixable. Let's move the tech industry somewhere that …
