My 40s have been way better than my 20s or 30s. It's not even close. The best part of your life does not have to be behind you.

Insiders are often very overexposed to a single company because it's their primary form of compensation. You can sell every share you have and still be overexposed due to unvested shares. I would advise against interpreting "I don't want to tie my life savings to this company" as a lack of faith.

There are good points here, but I think analogizing the situation into a class struggle within a society is both confusing and specious. Ethereum is not a civilization: it's a piece of FinTech.

I mean anybody can sue anybody for anything, but to win damages you'd have to prove that either Tesla intended to mess up his previous job or that they were negligent (based on a legal duty of care). IANAL, but this seems unlikely.

Unless you want to watch HBO Max, in which case you need a dongle….

But it is optional. There's social pressure for all kinds of things, including getting married and having children.

You have to figure out how to get food & shelter and follow local laws. Everything else is unequivocally optional. I would argue that "not seen as optional" is just a way of saying "I don't own up to my choices."

Not a flash in the pan after all!

> I was intentionally gendering the term here. My goal was to have someone notice that I used Congresswoman in a negative context.

Can we take this solved problem and replace it with a new one that has details we haven't figured out?

On the third hand, you’re deliberately using sexist language to … secretly fight sexism? I think a continued evaluation is indeed in order.

Is there a particular reason why it's women in Congress who make you skeptical? Is there some context I'm missing here?

Google and Microsoft were not the first web spiders.

A famous example, Yahoo!, didn't walk away from search and partner with Microsoft because of the difficulty of building an index. They did it because it was going to cost billions per year to try to keep up with Google in producing results.

I'm not arguing there's no work to do in building an index, but the problems of crawling and indexing can be solved by cash. They're a moat against small challengers, but not against well capitalized ones. Ranking and filtering require lots of research and tuning. This is the moat against even the well capitalized.

Put another way: do you really disagree that Google would still easily dominate search based on result quality even if small startups got access to their index data?
