>>How do I get $2.2M dollars? Get $3.5m and give away $1.3m. You'll have exactly what you asked for. If you get atop job, salary plus options you could do it. Of course, unless you spend it.

Investors like him and Buffet see gold as something just sitting there. if you buy a company, they will increase earnings, market share etc. Gold just sits on a vault--which is a great thing for rich people to use a small % of their wealth

Missed my point: First it is only fair. You cause problem for our Google and Facebook expect the same. That's fairness and economic patriotism. Not to mention that Google and Facebook "own" or can own US Congress and Senate

I think the headline is right. Any bitcoin owners best transfer to me whatever they have, just in case. In all seriousness: The govt wants its taxes. We're talking HUNDREDS of billions now in coin value, not millions. Sure they are tra

Well it worked for them, they're worth at least $50B (Softbank wants to buy shares at that price.) They might have to pay a few billion in fines or damages but that's all. New CEO will apologize and we'll forget it. And that

Not gonna happen IMO. If they start to succeed, expect stories of how everything is being spied on by the Chinese govt. Which is a legitimate concern. No Google or FB in China, no TenCent in USA either...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tencent $500+ BILLION market cap, and stakes in a lot of top companies. Imagine if they truly entered the US /EU market

Who knows, maybe they'll end up doing a different #3, put the cash in their pocket, while creators get paid with funny money. Lotsa scams as people try to catch the next bitcoin

Gawker (apparently) said that Thiel was gay. That's not defamation, it's a fact, so you can't sue.

Well, he is smart, by whatever metric we judge people today. Two degrees from Stanford, job at top law firms and, at least lucky in several start ups. The fact that he is rich means that people will listen to him more.

>>because Facebook decided to experiment and implement the Timeline feature That's to increase ad revenue, make no mistake about it. Like Google's algorithm and display changes...buy ads to be on top of the page

by tryingagainbro 9y ago
That's what keeps Zuck awake, I'm sure (sarcasm.) Buy ads if you want to get your point across. The fact that "everyone" uses FB is a badge of honor, a goal everyone tries to reach.

"I'm retired" while you're blogging /making a lot of money by saying you're retired, is profitable but fishy. Like getting rich by writing a book about how you got rich. Yeah, a Google /FB /x employee

Not enough, and I have a feeling that he should've been one of the dozens, if not hundreds. Fraud in the case is commuted upon the buyers and everyone that breathes that air (cancers, asthma...etc). You're talking tens of billions

Complicated. UK for example claims to have gotten permission from the Ottoman Turks to take a lot of stuff from Greece. At that time, Turks were the legit rulers, as Greece didn;t exist, so are they stolen? Also, many time the Nazis officia

Doesn't matter much. Say, Spain prosecutes, a court rules it stolen and the Polish govt has to recognize the ruling and return the painting. If it's stolen and the government is after you (in this they will), you're toast.
