Alright, what about laws that only levy income taxes on people making $300k or more? That's eliminates millions of Americans without targeting any protected groups. There's no bulletproof method to allow only some people to vote t

We tried this already in America and have decided that disallowing entire groups of people from voting is bad for democracy. What happens when the federal government passes new tax laws that prevent certain genders, racial groups, etc from

I'm younger than you, and probably haven't been working in tech as long, but I've been having similar thoughts. No kids, so I'm maxing retirement accounts, saving as much as I can, and trying to start my own small softwa

Oh no, I'm being genuine. Documenting the process itself wasn't what I was curious about, I was wondering how you'd go about your last bullet. Accepting lots of currencies can be hard, but I guess I'm not super familiar

Can you explain what you mean with "extract more information from you than google" here? Not saying you're wrong, I'm just curious what sources or info you're using to make that claim.

I wonder if that would be legal, at least in the US. That feels like it'd be a violation of the ADA?

Gonna pile on to other's suggestions, and say Todoist can do this. You can schedule a task to happen every four weeks, and the next occurrence happen four weeks after you complete it (even if you're a few days late) or four weeks

Adding the term "Ithaka" might help your search, that's the parent company that develops Jstor. I understand the struggle here. I was interviewing at that company at one point, and it was difficult to do research on them and

Wikipedia is the biggest thing that comes to mind for me. However, I think that falls pretty squarely in the "internet" era rather than the "VC" era of your point. I'm not sure if that gets at the spirit of your arg
