Bro, satvik. I'm happy to hear your responses and learn from you but you're literally just attacking me at this point. It's absolutely hilarious. You think you're going to take me down or something weird. I'm trying so hard to take this seriously because you think you're going to post a tweet and get me nuked from society. I'm looking at your previous posts and trying to find things that aren't "zero to hero" type ja…

Buddy, HostGator employee, I honestly have no idea what you're even talking about, regarding trawling through posts I've made and trying to find "gems", whatever that means. Seems you get easily aggressive towards anyone that challenges your comments, in this thread and others, telling people to "fuck off", that "literally nobody asked for their opinion" (on a public forum) and trying to find some gotcha in their pos…

LOL this is absolute gold.

You are so out of your element and just absolutely lost. I'm obviously not a HG employee. You challenged my comment? You weren't even part of the conversation. Your challenge was not understanding a modicum of politeness when someone is referring to an old business they worked for and might not want to be associated with so they give vague references that make it blatantly clear they don't want bring it up? This is easy in your stead because you have literally worked for no one that anyone cares about or has any interest in whatsoever.

If you were on hn throwing some spicy tea out for people to read, if you had EVER worked for anywhere that actually MADE spicy tea- you'd get my drift.

"This is a weird response, it's not like it's not public information, there's nothing "impolite" about it."

This is literally one of the most ignorant responses I've ever, ever seen on HN. Nothing I said was public information. and I clearly didn't want to expound. Take the fucking hint.

Anyway, take it easy bud.

Literally nobody asked your opinion of how he uses his domains. But thanks for your sage response. Please continue playing devils advocate in situations you're completely ignorant toward. It really benefits everyone.

Redditization of HN is impressive. Kcplate comment is totally fair and relevant, but it seems Swozey does not care about fair and relevant...

LOL "reddization of HN." I've been on HN for years before you. Maybe commenters should listen to the OPs better and stop playings devils advocate so much. Because especially in this specific scenario it is absolutely stupid.

Yeah, we've got a guy with essentially a right wing militia fortress on the border of TX who owns blatantly illegal-immigrant racist trope domains and it's not related at all. Some engineer who commonly talks infrastructure is just making all of this up because he's bored on HN this weekend. Who wouldn't squat on such gems as "molest.com" to keep them from being used?

I worked for a guy a decade ago who spent 8-10 years building a company to sell it for $300-400 million and he hasn't worked a day since. Owns a 30k acre ranch that a bunch of friends/family live on. Learjets. Villas in the islands, things like that. I can't think of one thing he hasn't done or is limited financially in doing. Last time I saw him he had a $120k watch on, some type of Hublot big bang. And Pichai gets…

There really needs to be an upper limit on how much wealth a person is allowed to amass. Half a billion seems fair. After that the tax bracket needs to be taxed at 100%

I think $100000 wealth is fair. Most of people in the world doesn’t have that amount. Why to go upper?

Do you all not understand that the stock price reflects the long term prospects of the company? It’s literally priced in

That's only for very broad things; as long as there's no red flags, short term takes priority.

Yes, but I think that is because investors rationally realize that the future is extremely uncertain and complex so it is better to weight towards shorter term more predictable outcomes.

I would somehow tax inactive capital. Capital that is not directly invested in a company or pays for employees. Everything laying around or on the stock market should be heavily taxed.

Islam bans stock markets and interest (though not all current so-called muslim countries) and every person who is rich (who have more than 87 grams of gold worth of things) is obliged to donate %2.5 of their total wealth to the poor every year. In Muslim countries, the state collects and distributes this, so it's effectively a tax. Necessities of life (shelter etc.) are excluded from total value calculation. Muslim c…

That's probably state land and regular people are not allowed to own land. If they don't work it, it gets transferred to someone else.
