> the slow performance decays

the decays are just more capable other models entering the population, making all prior models lose more frequently

If you have an offer, you can and should ask this question of whomever you're coordinating with. They will give you an honest answer.

I’ve read it multiple times before, it’s irrelevant in this discussion.

This also applies for options exercised before the company reaches $50M in assets. And then the gain from a valuation from $50M to say $1B is all excluded.

That's a very unsatisfying while probably correct answer. I wish voters stopped accepting this kind of stuff being "impossibly complex" for government.

Well that just confuses me more, if the losses are spread out across all these counties each with their own revenue, why isn't that the default place where money is allocated from?

Uneducated question, seems like Philadelphia has around $5B of revenue a year, and the transit deficit is ~$200M. I understand the city has to provide services and a lot of the revenue will be restricted as to what it can be allocated to. But with these orders of magnitude, why is the default expectation not for cities to fund their own transit with city tax revenue?

Great read. I have a tiny, inconsequential, possibly wrong correction. You had assumed that the “Negative” word on the internal search engine screenshot was sentiment analysis. I think it was instead a button to report the post in the internal system as a “negative” result as in, not actually matching the search they were trying to do. Sentiment analysis doesn’t seem like it would be very useful in this scenario.

From what I can tell the effective value of the "Cache Exchange Fund (After fees and expenses)" portfolio will be $660,282 once liquidating to actually use the money? Is the point that this allows waiting for a possible lower tax rate in the future? Or is the point that if the holder was really strapped for cash in this exact moment, they would have to pay less taxes now?

Also this PDF contains a detail I haven't seen reported elsewhere:

> Furthermore, on Monday, April 7, 2025, while my client and my team were preparing this disclosure, someone physically taped a threatening note to Mr. Berulis’ home door with photographs – taken via a drone – of him walking in his neighborhood. The threatening note made clear reference to this very disclosure he was preparing for you

Even the nutritional labels printed on packaging are only around 90% accurate. It’s all downhill from there.

But you end up hundreds of miles away from home, who could possibly argue that you moved halfway across the country without intent?
