    Anyone worked w/VC or Angel investors to start a business?

    DONT DO THIS. Things you need to know: If your business plan is good anyone that is willing to invest in it would rather just steal it and let one of their friends do it. The ONLY time they will invest in your business is if you have outstanding experience and education AND you have given them...

    When does a company become an ETF?

    Suppose I make a company selling widgets. I sell one widget. I also invest 500 million in the securities of my choice. What happens and why?

    Polythiests: How to god?

    Anyone know much about gods (plural). Finding them, dealing with them, benefiting from them? Not to insult anyone but from what I understand they are like drug addicts. They want as much of your soul as they can get, for as little result, and make sure they do the work because once you pay them...

    Co-working - would you tolerate someone seeing your screens?

    A good reason to co-work is to bait people into trying to hack your computer while you leave it unattended. Then you can sue or just drag them off to your basement - whatever.

    Co-working - would you tolerate someone seeing your screens?

    No. Espionage is rampant. Also, even a relatively good natured person might surrender to curiosity and gossip. Lastly and most importantly, other people moving in and out of the office is a security problem. Everyone assumes that anyone in the office is a guest of someone else or there with...

    Amazon is looking for entrepreneurs to start their own delivery service networks

    I suspect "operator" means your business, not you personally. I don't know what hours fed ex deliveries operates but if it is a 10 hour day then you could get by with 3 to 5 part time employees.

    Virtual / relocatable time share/condo

    Could be but there is nothing stopping someone doing it legitimately. Just like a time share on a plane but instead of a single plane its on a fleet. A hotel chain could do it. You buy a "room" of a particular class and small monthly fee similar to a condo and you can go to any hotel in the...

    Virtual / relocatable time share/condo

    Decades ago I saw where a company had purchased a large number of buildings that were all condos. They were offering "virtual" time shares where you could buy in and apply your share to a few weeks or months in any one of their properties, provided there was a vacancy. Has anyone seen anything...

    LOL am I understanding correctly that you want him to get screwed over so hard that he never gets fanciful again for the rest of his life?

    i want to travel to london.

    If you go anyway, stop by the Windsor palace (not to be confused with Windsor castle) gift shop and buy yourself a freaking suit of armor. You'll have something awesome to keep as a momento and talk about. Also, even though the price is reasonable its actually some really good bad-ass armor. If...

    i want to travel to london.

    One time a guy insisted I tell him the worst of it. He killed himself. He had his friends tell me he didn't want to continue living knowing that was the kind of world he was living in. -or something like that. He was a Tibetan Buddhist Lama. Dealing with suffering is a central theme in their...

    i want to travel to london.

    Don't. First. You don't want to travel to London. Someone else wants you to travel to London and they hypnotized you to waste your time and money on something that is very unlikely to do you any real benefit. Realize that your desire is not yours and abandon it. Realize that ALL desire is not...

    Is it just me or is everyone you know that goes to las vegas bad?

    I tried that. One of the girls ran off with the other girls. Another time one of the girls got jealous and left. Another time I got fed up with having too many girlfriends and dumped all of them.
