    My first books are here! I wanted to share this moment with my kids, so I waited for my boys to get home from school before opening the first box! Bucket list moment for sure!

    That's my dad. He did live in India as a kid. Then he worked multiple jobs while graduating college by 18, then made it to America, then started multiple businesses, then employed hundreds of Americans, then became a US Congressman. Meanwhile, you're just a felon.

    McDonalds is a landlord. Costco and Amazon are membership clubs that break even on retail. Starbucks is mostly a bank/rewards program. Car dealerships make their profits on financing and servicing. Most companies are just creative ways to invest the floating cash.

    In that horrible moment, he hugs his family and then sends them forward so they don't have to be booed with him. I'm a Michigan alum, so I've cheered against him. But that's pure class.

    Your books and movies spew hate. You get conservative jobs and can't keep them. The biggest award you've earned is a pardon. So, yes, felon goes first. Stop trolling successful Americans for views.

    #1. California held the wall solidly with their own net neutrality laws and anyone wanting CA consumers listened. #2: ISPs realized that being super evil and blocking specific sites to blackmail them is probably extortion and/or collusion and covered by other federal laws.

    With YC Demo Day approaching, it's helpful to remember that the "hot" companies now are very rarely the top companies in 10 years. Airbnb had such a hard time fundraising that @paulg personally emailed top VCs telling them to invest and they still said no:

    This should be a rule: If you're a pre-seed VC, you don't get to call a startup "too early" for you.

    Bootstrapping vs. VC is such a false dichotomy. You can always raise one round, get profitable, and then never raise again!
