Or if you left your job, would you be legally required to delete all your work and have to pay tax money on an illiquid second-class asset that only has a percentage chance of payout(the startup scam).

As for HN, I love engineers and have been on HN for over a decade, but this site is the same as startups and ycombinator in general. Built for VCs to extract value out of engineers and the public.

So ya, I'll give him a pass on this one. It's not a blanket statement that visionaries should be able to harass people. That's not the argument I'm making.

I guess it works. I don't want to support that though. Time to find a new git host.

TPW was a visionary that started a company which revolutionized software development. Maybe some of you weren't around back then, but as a git early adopter github was a god send. And it was written by one of us. A developer who built an open source time library. A man who turned down 300k at a time where that salary was top 1%(still is, I believe).

At a young age your risky investment % should be at it's highest. The exact amount will depend on your appetite.

The JOBS act is like saying blacks and women can vote, but only on 10% of issues and their votes aren't counted as heavily.

Right now there's the biggest disenfranchisement of our lives and most people don't even see it. It's selling the future out from under the public, and not even giving them a chance to buy in. It's racist and sexist to start off with, then it gets worse as you look. And it's completely state sponsored through authoritarian laws built for 'protection'.

Wait what's that about developer royalties?

California can have both migrating homeless and an uncaring political class.

People are either extremely trusting of huge global governments or we're being brigaded.

I understand the confusion, as finding this involves reading the 88 pages you are defending.

I also believe SV companies are lining up to IPO because of this blank check.
