Re:Peter Thiel turned a Roth IRA into a $5B tax-free piggy bank on Thursday June 24, 2021 @04:26PM (#27623320)
What people are missing here is the fact that Peter Theil is investing in new companies that go on to create thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in taxes every year. He risks his capital to create these new companies, and a lot of his investments go to zero. The next effect of this is that he's generating a lot more tax revenue for the IRS that he's saving from his Roth IRA.

I have had SVB see transactions from Transferwise in my account and then call me up and offer a better rate on their foreign transfer services. Interesting!

Isn't there a startup out there that will pick up your packages for you when you're out? Or will allow your neighbour to pick them up?
Re:Sending Jobs Overseas on Tuesday May 16, 2017 @03:24PM (#14352464)
The only Chinese company that is managing its own future is DJI, the drone company. DJI designs, manufactures and sells its own drones for a global market. They even have their own store in downtown SF. Its a sign of the times when middlemen (US designers and marketers) are taken out of the equation. The same will happen with more Chinese made goods.

Re:It’s Tough Being Over 40 in Silicon Valley on Thursday September 08, 2016 @02:10PM (#12455547)
This is such bullshit. There are no limits on entrepreneurship and the age at which you can start a business, which is what drives real growth and value in Silicon Valley. Sure, if you want to be a wage slave to some other company, and help someone else achieve their dreams, go ahead and work for another company, and get discriminated against because of your grey hair.

Re:Ask HN: If money no object, how do I find the very best freelancers? on Thursday November 21, 2013 @01:00AM (#6773295)
Depends on what you're looking for. For design, search on 99designs or Dribbble. You can pay extra for top notch guys. I'm not sure where to look for top hackers. Topcoder?
