A quote from the article: "Just $1 million invested in a dynasty trust, and earning 12 percent a year, would swell to $1.9 billion in 85 years". So my question is how do I find a investment vehicle that gives me 12% return compounded year after year?

I don't know, seems pretty reasonable, Costco revenue is 105B. Walmart has >4x revenue, and 19m*4=76m, more than Walmart. Based on your comparison, Walmart is paying their executives fairly.

Same speed as instantdomainsearch.com, but that service does not track what you search.

He may have meant, if you quit after first year, you get 30% of the bonus, quit after second year, you get 30%+50% = 80%. If you are going to quit, you will probably quit after second year. So for most people who are quitting, MS would not have to hand out the last 20%.

I am not sure what kind of companies are the "slog it out" type. Which company can be profitable (I assume) and not grow much in 2 decades? If they are just cash cows, why can't the VC/entrepreneurs figure out how to reinvest it in other sectors?

Here is Joel's article when SO launched: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2008/09/15.html

I believe he also primed the pumps a couple of monthes in advance with Codinghorror, I was reading both at that time.

I found this to be adequate for my needs for now: tabhq.com. It basically syncs your chrome tabs with the web, and access the tabs anywhere by going on the site.

No from one bar to the next for the previous years, the gap is 1 year (ie, Q4 2010, Q4 2011 -> 1 year), but from the second last bar to the last bar, the gap is 1 quarter (Q4 2011, Q1 2012 -> 1 quarter)

very true, especially since node is single threaded, you might block other requests etc.

this works for me:

include it in routes/index.js, and everything in your routes dir will be exposed if you do var routes = require('./routes')

var files = fs.readdirSync('./routes') files.forEach(function(file){ if(file != 'index.js'){ var exp = require('./'+file); _.extend(exports, exp); } });
