#I don't think we need to worry too much about that particular new asset

[jkl-fff]

In a suprising twist of fate, you have been given 30 billion dollars! The catch? You only have it for 7 days. Anything you purchase you can keep, and anybody you give it to will keep what you give to them, (eg, donations and gifts wont disappear) but after 7 days you no longer have access to the liquid assets and if you gave somebody money, they cant just give it back.

For the sake of this hypothetical, lets not worry about things like taxes.

How are you spending your fortune? ^_^

Would it be cheating if I buy a bunch of gold, silver, and other precious materials I can sell off to basically have liquid assets again? Is that too much rules-lawyering to try to swing a loophole?

Assuming it is ... I'm going to buy a bunch of properties and endow them with trusts to keep financing them after these seven days are over. The properties will be turned into low-income housing to basically provide homeless people with a safe, stable, permanent, and free residence while they reestablish themselves. A lot more will be donated to foodbanks, animal shelters, and charities that help queer people in particular. Probably going to hire some people to spend the week looking up others across the globe that are legit and effective so I can throw money at them, too. And I'll buy a bunch of medical and student debt so I can just forgive it, thereby erasing it.

Once I've finished being a do-gooder, I've got several friends as well as artists I'm going to drop one million on each. The deal for all of them will basically be, "This is a standing commission payment. You get this now, and I get art whenever the fancy stikes me later (your schedule and health permitting)."

Will give 10 million to my parents to guarantee they never have to worry about house or car payments, and basically to cover family vacations for the rest of their lives. And I guess ten million to each of my siblings for the same reason, with the understanding that they take care of my subsequent necessary expenses for the rest of my life. Not give me money, you understand, just make sure I and my animals always have space with them and the things we absolutely must spend money on will not be a concern for me.

Oh! Going to purchase and endow a martial arts school where I can workout and teach Taekwon-Do with all the useful equipment I can think of to make sure property management costs are handled forever. And also hire a guy to be my eternal personal trainer and manager--a guy whose side job (they can have another one, of course, I won't need that much managing) is to come in at regular times and help me stay motivated and on track with all my separate duties and chores and goals and such.

What else? What else? Guess I should get a new, sensible car. Some new, comfortable and nice-looking clothes, too. What else do I even want for myself? What else do people normally need for themselveals?

I'm generally not a very materialist nor consumerist sort of guy. There's not a lot I want that could be bought, especially in as short a timeframe as a week. Some experieces need funding (like travel), but a week wouldn't suffice to manage those. So I'm honestly going to be doing my damndest to give all 30 billion away (with ironclad contracts to guarantee ethical use of it through auditing and such), most of it to worthy causes. The people in my personal life don't need a huge sum, so it would be a matter of giving them perpetual security without exorbitant affluence. Then on to organizations who are better qualified than I to disperse those funds in a helpful way.

Thanks for the thought-provoking question!

BnHA Chapter 239: We’re Fucked

Previously on BnHA: Actually it’s been two weeks, so I barely even remember. Let me just... take another... Ah, right. So Tomura brought it up a notch to Goth Level x20 and destroyed all of his Surplus Hands in a fit of independence, and Re-Destro was like “!!!” and then turned himself into a giant robot as a counter-flex. Meanwhile Gigantomachia continued to smash shit and also defeated Orange Leaf because lord knows Dabi was never actually going to get around to it. Compress called Ujiko and was all “hey can you please stop your guy because I’m afraid he’s going to smash us once he’s done smashing everything else,” but Ujiko was all, “listen if Shigaraki dies then he dies!!” But I’m pretty sure Shigaraki isn’t actually going to die. Re-Destro, though? He might be dead. Guess we’ll find out.

Today on BnHA: Nope, Re-Destro isn’t dead. So it goes like this: Tomura, who is now incredibly hot by the way, annihilates the entire fucking town leaving only bits of rubble, basically. Everyone is all, “LOOK AT THIS ARE YOU FUCKING SEEING THIS HOLY SHIT” and basically just watching in awe. Re-Destro chops off his own fucking feet so as not to be disintegrated himself, something which everyone is way too fucking calm about tbh. And in the aftermath Tomura stands there all “lol I won,” and RD is like, “yeah you sure did,” and I was expecting Tomura to be all “well anyways, [kill]” but instead RD is like, “HERE’S THE KEYS TO YOUR NEW ARMY” and Tomura is “HEY COOL” and SOMEHOW THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER AND WORSE ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Heh. Anyways where’s that comic with the dog in the house that’s on fire. That about sums it all up.

(All comments are my unspoiled reactions from my initial readthrough of the chapter. I did a quick edit for grammar and clarity immediately afterward, but aside from that there are no changes, and even that was a rush job since I was late in reading the chapter this week. I basically have not edited this at all lulz.)

sounds like someone is about to get the official Gigantomachia Seal of Approval at long last! sure did take this boy a while to get accredited, but he kept at it! there’s a lesson there, folks. if at first you don’t succeed, stop sleeping for two months and then power-hallucinate your way to success

so we’re opening with Hanabata and his van! I sure hope this mofo is about to die, because mofos need to start dying already. I’ve loved this arc and we’ve had some really great times, but I never did have much patience for this particular point of any given arc. side villains need to know when to die. respect for Kizuki, at least she had the right idea

on the other hand we are being gifted with some pretty fun panels, such as this

wah, his shoes. heh

oh my god

did he slam into the van when it hit the brakes to avoid Tomura’s Destruction Radius. ouch

so he’s narrating about how some crazy shit is going down over where Tomura is. and that “our story was at a standstill, but now...”

listen, that “but now” had better mean that you’re about to de-standstill and wrap things up

-- holy shit

I’m not -- Tomura, what!?! you’re hot?! is it just me?? am I fucking losing it?? what the fuck. can you seriously just cut off anyone’s fingers and they’ll magically grow 40x hotter!? somebody count Aizawa’s fingers for me

shit. this isn’t even my normal aesthetic! Tomura you’re crossing genre barriers here. I can’t speak for everyone, but I deeply suspect that you’re appealing very widely right now

the moral of this story is, eyeliner. that’s it. that’s the moral

in other news, Twice shouting “hang in there, Giran!” speaks for all of us, I think, and he had better get a medal for being VIP of this fucking arc. and Giran, it’s good to get some exercise

so who is this monologuing now?

is this a flashback to All for One? or RD getting all philosophical as the countdown inches ever closer to his doom?

like, this could seriously go either way here. huh. full disclosure, I’m doing my best to speedread here since this recap is late, so I’m not taking much time to think real deeply or try and process every little thing this week

now RD is going “guh!” and failing to get with the times

yeah dude, we established this already. Tomura is doing a lot of things he shouldn’t fucking be able to do. because he’s awakening. you’re the one who fucking said it just last chapter. quit being so damn shocked

lol now he’s thinking “if I can just get out of range...” ha, good luck. does he even have a fucking range now

omfg. you guys

being on the villains’ team for an arc is so much fun. so nice to be able to shamelessly appreciate the senseless destruction

okay, not quite as hot now. but from the right angle, though. damn

anyways. he cray. we get it lol

now he’s shouting “I’ll break you to pieces!” all gleefully and, like. destroying the entire town, it looks like. possibly

okay but seriously I think he really is. he really fucking is, you guys

I’m simultaneously grinning at how badass it is and thinking in the back of my mind about how our actual heroes are so!! fucked!! once this arc is over and done with sob

like, hey Tomura, what was your overall goal again? destroy the entire world? oh, yes, right. and what exactly is stopping you, again? literally nothing but a handful of sixteen-year-old heroes in training? whom I’m deeply attached to? yes, that’s surely going to end well

sobbbbbbbb

we’re so. goddamn. fucked

also, when did RD transform back into his little guy form? why do I suddenly almost feel sorry for him. well maybe not sorry so much as I feel pity. though once again, weekly reminder that he invited them himself, and they probably would never have clashed had he not decided to start shit for absolutely no fucking reason

let this be a lesson to all other villains! if you’re still thinking the League is an easy mark now that AFO is ~out of the picture~, let Overhaul and Re-Destro serve as examples of what happens when you underestimate the new boy in charge

and when I think of it that way, it makes me want to warn Tomura not to get too cocky and make the same fucking mistake. AFO and All Might may not have much in common, but one thing they do share is a knack for choosing worthy successors. though I still think that in AFO’s case, “placeholder” would be a more accurate word

anyway so where were we. -- oh yes

I wonder how many pages do we need of Tomura cheerfully decimating shit and RD watching in terror. this is a manga-only complaint though, just to be clear. in the anime? this shit is going to be fucking amazing. Tomura cackling maniacally while the world crumbles to pieces around him. metal af

by the way I love how RD has gone pants-only now that he’s back in his Bruce Banner form

I really shouldn’t be complaining that this chapter is going by so quickly, given that I’m trying to race through it, but literally the next two pages are just more of the same shit

town: destroyed. RD status: defeated and pants-only. plots advanced in the last three pages: none that I can actually see

oh shit. wait

what the -- holy --

okay lol. nevermind. here I thought that was Tomura’s foot on the previous page. and I didn’t notice RD’s feet had been chopped off on account of I thought the BLOODY STUMPS OF HIS FEET were his shoes, I guess. despite the manga establishing multiple times that he was only wearing pants. I only pointed it out specifically twice myself. wowwww

just. I’m running on four hours’ sleep here but feeling pretty all right considering, so I thought I was doing pretty good, but I GUESS NOT lol. one of these days I’ll learn that if a giant two-page spread appears to be a waste, it’s far more likely that I’ve just completely failed to see some very obvious thing of critical importance

anyways. ohhhhh yesssss

[raises hand] me! I know!! it was him calling you up out of the blue and being all “hey come here I want to start a whole battle”!!

heeeeeeeh

god I’m living for this. the brief swell of pity is gone as quickly as it arose lol. finish him off boiiiii

OH FOR FUCK’S --

DID YOU GUYS SOMEHOW FAIL TO GET THE MEMO. DID THE ENTIRE TOWN CRUMBLING APART NOT CLUE YOU IN THAT IT WAS TIME TO HEAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION

jesus. I would be impressed by their loyalty, except that none of them have given a fuck about the 100,000 hapless redshirts who’ve died fighting for them, so it seems pretty damn hypocritical for them to care so much about this one fucking guy. especially when his stupid plan singlehandedly destroyed everything your organization has spent their entire lives working for. in, like, an hour

anyway, Tomura is back to being hot again guys

motherfucker is fully aware of just how much everything is lining up his way right now. finally his childlike self-assuredness actually has some sort of basis in fact. you are exactly as badass as you think you are, sir. must be nice. you enjoy this; you deserve some nice things just this once before everything goes to shit again after this arc

holy shit, even Hanabata’s quirk is failing in the wake of that see-you-in-hell grin

I’m telling you dude, you should have been driving the other way. not that there’s any point now. enjoy your final seconds on this earth

LOL

“meaningless casualties” lmao that is the most pompous variation on “DON’T YOU GET IT, WE’RE ABOUT TO FUCKING DIE” I’ve ever heard

wow, so wait, is RD trying to beg for their lives now??

that’s a surprisingly classy move. unfortunately I’m fairly sure Tomura is going to show you exactly as much mercy as you were prepared to show him just a few minutes earlier. well maybe a little more mercy, since you were going to take your sweet time and he’ll probably end things quickly in comparison

anyway so now RD is having an internal dialogue with his dead great-grandpa about how Tomura turned out to be the living embodiment of everything they were fighting for

and actually, he’s not wrong when you think about it. which just goes to show you how deeply flawed their philosophy really was. there’s a hugely important distinction between “freedom to be who you are” and “freedom to do whatever the fuck you want, including hurting and oppressing others”

anyway, so in the end he didn’t ask for mercy. “I picked a fight with you and lost. if you mean to kill me, then get it over with.” well I guess that is still classy in its own way though

also, Machia is staring at Tomura and seeing this

which is an awesome visual, and I love that Horikoshi went with that instead of more internal monologuing. nothing else even needs to be said

-- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOLY SHIT

SDFSLDKJFLJS HOLY SHIT

yooooooooooo. oh shit

I did not see that coming. should have, probably. there was a lot of buildup to it in hindsight. Tomura and the gang started out the arc flat-out broke, and now at the end of things they acquire a company with precisely the resources they need. manpower, cash, and technological innovations. oh shit. oh shit

oh my god the look on Ujiko’s face. this worked out better than he ever could have hoped

pausing it here because I did in fact laugh and I love it. [pats]

this boy has a 5/5 intelligence score in the character databook. he’s a genius. nothing gets past him. his reflexes are too fast

aaaaaand that’s the end of the chapter. well, then. to reiterate: we are well and truly fucked y’all

[adhdvane]

Anon back again, don't worry about delay in answer! I'm not expecting you to reply in a matter of seconds and I'm patient anyway! (●'◡'●) (and yeah, tumblr's notification system kinda suck so really, not your fault haha)

I understand your struggle with fics all too well lol I'm sure a time will come when it just clicks and you can write the good stuff ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ And no need to feel bad if you haven't posted a lot on ao3! You don't have to have 1000 fics or 200k word-long fics for your works to be enjoyable!! Even little ficlets and drabbles are good to have around ♥

It's good of you to have taken time for yourself if you needed it ♥ And yeah, completely understandable to hesitate and come back to fandom in general with the current state of things (a couple years ago I made an IE/Go sideblog and I'm still terrified that someone is going to come up and yell at me for shipping the characters lmao And that's without counting the Problematic™ fics I wrote when I was 16 lmao)

Regarding your tags, I'm just sitting there like starry-eyed because YES TenKyou. I'm DELIGHTED to know that's your preference because that's mine too for the ship asklhjkh

As for Todd and Prof Mirror, that's a tough and personal question, so good luck! (I'm thinking Todd topping's nice but does it make the prof kink better or not is the question!! ALSO in the french version, I know there's a line from Todd going like "Mirror was already being called Professor before he was a professor" so maybe he's not the only one with a prof kink, just from a different angle, hah)

(you say sorry for rambling, but joke's on you, I ramble too! Sorry for clustering your blog though woops Have a good day! (´･ω･`) )

rip, okay, once again i apologize about this one being even later, mostly bc i saw it early, but i haven't been able to sit down and respond to it. this week was the last week of the month so i actually had a lot to do at work and was able to go in every day (as opposed to 1 - 2 days bc business is still so slow). but at the end of the month i do invoicing for inventory charges for that month for each customer. though i was able to actually get a lot of it done sooner than usual (bc i actually started the process on tuesday instead of thursday), there were still three big ones i couldn't even do until thursday bc they had several orders in production that didn't get shipped until thursday. I was going to finally get to this ask on friday when i got home (we only work half days on friday and close at noon)… but the new gbf event had started… and uhg… a sho centric event. g od.

rest of the word vomit under the cut

before i just—IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ ABOUT THIS GBF RAMBLING FEEL FREE TO SKIP BELOW TO THE END THE GBF OF RAMBLE—this event askjdsjkdfslkdjsdjg talk about giving the antag his redemption art event. the emotional growth in sho. so many new assets to save… there are fricking 6 different versions of his character labeled _painful (_painful, _painful2, etc.), and like so many zoom in's that basically every one of his images has an _up version (the battle ones ((the ones of him on his gearcycle)) also have a bunch of _up2 versions that are zoomed in between the default and _up close up) anyways these in particular kill me.

sho "i'm-not-going-to-cry-or-show-expresions-of-gratitude" awkwardly smiling and crying in this event (while also repeatedly getting the shit kicked out of him/getting hurt. having a moment of breaking down from exhaustion and pain, in the rain, before deciding he has to swallow his pride. every single english word that comes out of his mouth, cv: taniyama kishou is a gift (on a side note i can't believe he fucking played alpha in chronostone. like thats fucking hilarious a va and voicalist capable of such range and drama voicing alpha and his serious monotone ass). Sho (@tsubasa): You showed me the light before—[…] Tsubasa: Wait, what? Whaddya mean I showed you the light? ((you mean when he punched you in the fucking face at the end of the previous event of this series?))). I mean I already shipped bc of the their last event, how can you not ship the guy screaming he's going to kill the protag w/the protag esp after getting punched in the face by the protag at the end makes him calm down and be like fine i guess you win i'm not going to try to kill you know and our gangs don't have to fight. also they're both like 16 (or at least tsubasa is canon 16 (a yeas totally looks like a 16 year old) and sho is at least still in school and at least confirmed to be a minor (not age of majority, which idk what that is exactly in universe, could be 18, could be 20, bc it is fantasy, but it's also japanese, thoguh japan's age of majority is actually lowering from 20 to 18 next april (2022), drinking/smoking/gambling age will still be 20, and the comment in this event was about we're still minors save the smoking for when you're an adult). sho could arguably be 18 or 19 and still believably in school and be considered a minor legally (if in universe gbf follows japanese laws) considering the time he spent in juvie he could easily have been held back. gbf will probably just make him tsubasa's age if a canon age is release. but thinking about sho being 19 and tsubasa being 16 would make some ppl upset and that brings me joy. (also just how funny it could be thinking about (bc everyone is perpetually the same age) how later when sho a year older and legally being able to drink, and tsubasa not, and despite the fact sho being like i will break the laws about physically assaulting a guy but underage drinking, smoking, and drugs is a no-no is fucking hilarious. (the app is rated t so i guess there's only so much you can do…) (oh and one last note, a character in the event asking if sho enjoys the pain and is a masochist, to have other character be like dude you can't just ask someone that. sho saying no he doesn't enjoy the pain. only for later when they are escaping, a character noting "You look rather happy about all this. Now I'm sure youre a masochist." gbf first crushing my sho masochist headcanon and then building it back up in this event, thank u gbf). anways, rip that was a lot and not even everything, as you can see i have been… distracted by this event. apologies

—END OF GBF RAMBLE—

oh god worry about ppl like that in ina like, there really people out there who don't want you shipping ficitional children?????? and the main ina cast is roughly between 12-15. and got i started watching ina in 2013 when i was 19. which apparently for some people is like bad uwu because it's a show for young teenagers (like lol too bad i'm 27 and even though i haven't kept up with aries i still love ina and all the little babies and wont stop shipping). i didn't even know there was people out there who get UPSET AT AGING UP??? like wtf???? sorry i want them to be old enough to marry, adopt children, have a job, and also f.uck. the dpk au is my lifeblood (and has a lot of Problematic™ content that's never even been posted online anywhere bc it used to be an rp. my favorite is that out of all the relationships in the au, tenma and kyousuke's is probably the most unhealthy bc of kyousuke's mental health. some very bad things happened to fei (per request of my rp partner) (part of vanfeny and garsha's revenge on saru as they were sent to megun while saru walks around ''free'' (what exactly is free is a whole other lore mess in itself that i wrote up about post chrono stone future). and that just lead to more bad things fei then did to himself. problematic™ content 9492347 in the dpk au, shipping ozrock and lalaya. (even worse, bc of lore planning i did for the au and decided how their species worked, lalaya is about 6.5 cycles (faram obius years) or roughly 130 earth years and biologically similar to 13 year earth years, and ozrock is about 48 Ixal years roughly 48 earth years and biologically similar to 24 earth years. so like even a worse ship. i mean just ignore cultural norms would be different on an alien planet and also she's royalty and has an obligation to be wed even younger and is probably socially more mature than a human 13 year old. rip sorry i just like alien stuff. a lot of this was also because wouldn't it be great for lalaya to have a really long lifespan so the human friends she makes get older faster and also die way before her :) ina's gunna hurt me with the bug aliens then i'm going to… continue to hurt myself with more alien life span stuff.)

Anyways, With TenKyou, idk I think it's easy to paint tenma as the innocent ~pure baby~ and kyousuke as ~bad boy~ bc of the first inago… and seed kyousuke was a little bastard man (affectionate). which would idk explain the default to kyouten. but like kyousuke chills the hell out in chrono stone and galaxy. and just bc tenma is a dumbass with a heart of gold obsessed with soccer doesn't necessarily mean he's has to be ~innocent baby 受け~ trope. (not that these are the only tropes that decide) (maybe it's bc i sort of like messing with what it must be like to be the main protagonists best friend and watch him continue to overcome everything and be in the spot light and how everyone praises him. kyousuke with self-esteem issues, looking back at all the problems he's caused, tenma has flaws but they're either negligible or something to love about him and mine have only hurt others. disregarding his own goddamn plot armor in the past. complex, emotional, suffering kyousuke is how i like my kyousuke. need we even get into how god eden was canonically revealed to be physically/mentally abusing seeds and that whole can of worms) (also just "nervous baby i don't know how to approach tenma" kyousuke, "cheeky little shit doesn't have any regards to personal space and boundries" tenma) at least if anyone starts giving me shit about an ina ship or problematic fictional ina content, i can always respond with something i drew back in 2015.

back to the matter of new snap though… that line is so familiar (im pretty sure it's in the eng txt, i have it set to jpn audio tho). i recently started keeping a log of the messages that pop up on the camp, lab, and map screens (but haven't saved too many bc i get distracted or at least i know i'm missing quite a few i have vague memories of). (also idk why my first thought to that line was mirror responding with "That was because you were the one calling me that.") there actually were a couple messages i saved initially that would be useful for fic writing:

Todd: "The professor used to be kinda reckless back in the day. I suppose after 10 year he must've calmed down a bit."

and

Mirror: "Todd's calmed down since I last saw him. Or maybe he's just acting mature because you kids are around…"

possible implications from these that I'm deciding to consider for headcanons:

both reckless and wild in their early 20's but that's not unusual, so they were acting like reckless young adults when they were 20. makes sense.

because mirror mentions the last time i saw him (which is definitely implied not 10 years ago since todd had a research team pin so obviously he's been around a bit since the lab was established) meaning todd is potentially still a chaotic bastard but is just trying to act like an adult in front of the kids. beautiful.

and on that note another wonderful Tood message:

Todd: "I never invited Phil to be my pupil—he just declared himself my "number one student" and started tagging along! But honestly…I was kind of flattered."

the possibility that when todd showed up in game, after that cutscene he went to talk to mirror like "this 10 year old just started following me and wont go away, pls help. what do i do?????"

this unsupervised 10 year old just followed a ~30 year old man into the wilderness and somehow just declares todd is mentor (and took the research team pin from todd to ''borrow''). this is a hostage situation. todd is the hostage.

the idea that perhaps todd just got back from a long expedition and was glad to be back and spend time with mirror, except this kid started following him around and wont leave him alone or go away, and then when he got to the lab there were two more kids there. how the fuck am i supposed to get it on with mirror when we have little alone time and when we finally do we're constantly at risk of being interrupted and/or walked-in on. (that last part was mainly the premise of the fic i wanted to write. "these kids are a handful how are we supposed to have intimate time. especially bc they're all so young and have child energy levels and when they go to bed i am already fucking exhausted." i'm thinking it might work better as like a drabble collection, that way i don't have to adhere to a plot line and can pick and choose scenarios to write because i keep winding up with more scenario ideas that i can nearly piece together into a coherent timeline anymore.)

(also a bit that rita becomes suspicious that they are 100% fu.cking even though all that happened was mirror wasn't asleep up in his bed above the lab and fell asleep in one of the bungalows w/todd and then tried to cover it up like haha what no, i was checking on todd he's not feeling well uh… what? where are my pants? oh. oh i can't believe i just totally got out of bed and left the lab without my pants haha.) (todd and mirror just trying to keep their relationship a secrete out of fear of rumors spreading and it affecting the lab's funding, even though rumors definitely started ages ago but neither of them realize). (also todd doesn't trust phil to keep his mouth shut and doesn't like the optics of the random 10 year old who started following him (UNSUPERVISED) just blabbing to his parents about how his cool mentor is dating the professor at the lab like yikes that could end badly worst case scenario.)

(i like the idea of mirror playing along with todd's ki.nk, albeit a little awkward sometimes (not very good at being intentionally 'sexy' about it, but that's not what todd wants anyways bc it's already inherenty sexy for him). Phill has a message "I barely get half the stuff the professor talks about. Do you?" and i can only image if he said that to todd

todd: （人*´∀｀）i know it's hot

phil: what)

anyways i hope you don't mind me rambling even more on your asks like this. last time i totally just cut chunks out to be smaller but this time… i'm going to leave things in rip.

THE IDEA IN PARTICULAR, DON'T BE RULED BY PLANS

Potential buyers will always delay if they can find someone to handle the paperwork for them. That's a strategy that already seems to be in a better position if they'd done that earlier. Growth When we launched Viaweb, it seemed like there was nothing to it. San Francisco is 40 minutes to the north of him, starting with the Supreme Court's 1982 decision in Edgar v. They would have sold, but Yahoo blew it by offering too little. It's probably always some of both. There are plenty of people as smart as the ones you never hear of deals where a VC invests $6 million at a premoney valuation of $10 million, but the returns may be somewhat blurry at first.

Overlooked problems are by definition close to the center of things is difficult to discard. And managers prefer popular languages, which make investments rather than giving grants. But you can tell from books and photographs, the happiness of Calder's work is his own happiness showing through. It's often mistakenly believed that medieval universities were mostly seminaries. It has to be big yet, nor do you necessarily have to be a car expert to own a certain percentage of each company. There are some towns, like Portland, that would be easy to write legislation that distinguishes them, because you don't have to worry much. In technical matters, you have to make something people want.

The reason the filters caught them was that both companies in January switched to commercial email senders instead of sending the mails from their own servers so they can tell when you get a language that is used for big systems, you have to give up on the losing side of a recent struggle? Whereas if you're doing it wrong. Peter Thiel would point out that a predisposition to intelligence and wisdom, and particularly Aristotle, this tradition turned a corner. How much stock do you give early employees? How many would have understood that this particular 19 year old was Bill Gates? Maybe the Internet will change things further. So if you want to give the appearance of legitimate refutation, then follow it with the usual sort of job. The three big powers on the Internet now are Yahoo, Google, Amazon, Cisco and Microsoft how they'd feel about two candidates, both 24, with equal ability, one who'd tried to start a new channel. But if you look at the problem from this direction. It brought a critical mass?

It has to be a case of the mistaken meeting the outdated. If we assume 4 people per startup, which is more important than ability: I would go farther in saying that because server-based software is that there are today. When starting a startup into an optimization problem. Eventually a successful startup on behaving like a nonprofit to people who don't, but no smarter than you; they're not as bad as I'd feel if I spent the whole first year. I found that when I was in college the rule seemed to be from the UK. Now everyone can, and we don't realize how much things have changed. History seems to me so important that it's misleading to treat it as if it were merely lack of the right answers, not because you did a lot of the professors believed or at least embodies, present taboos. But it would have been: basically, nothing. So you have to advance to a visibly higher level: if all you know about the fatal pinch, but how clean the finished program looks in it, one of our greatest inventions. A group of 10 individuals, the group working for each manager would have to be a vehicle for several different types of work that are purer, in the sense of its origins and its semantic core. We never mentioned it to the press, but what to work on a Java project. Improving constantly is an instance of a more general principle here: that if they wanted.

I take it as an example of a powerful language by using a less powerful language? The more different filters there are, any more than we'd expect naive solutions for keeping heroin out of a small group of individuals that humans were designed to be used to express Lisp programs in practice. There are an infinite number of things we now consider prestigious were anything but at first. ''. Would a basketball team trade one of their competitors. I was attached to my model of work from the prototype. Judging startups is hard even for the ones that succeed. Indeed, this is the best insurance against needing one. There are times when this format is what a writer wants. If bad founders succeed at all.

Any public company that didn't generate sufficient returns on its assets risked having its management replaced with one that would have gotten jobs to start their own, like angel investors. Now what I wish I could say that we're willing to go ahead and do that for surprisingly little. Later stage investors won't invest in a deal: Any investor who co-invests with you is one less investor who could fund a competitor. A new Lisp would be a lot simpler. The Industrial Revolution was not fighting the principle that the most successful founder we've funded so far, but the biggest win for languages like Lisp is at the other extreme are publications like the New York Times front page. Then you want to make. That's what Pebble did. But when you lose that deal, though perhaps with more emphasis on physical attractiveness. By the time the acquirer gets them, they're finishing one another's sentences. You have to work with me there. So VCs who invest in angel rounds—partly because there was a lot more corporate politics, in order of textual relevance as search engines did then nor in order of bids, you can only judge computer programmers by working with them, eight people have to be nice to users is to give them sufficient activation energy to start a startup you work on changes you.

It's a lot harder, and get paid that much more. What this means in practice. And indeed, most things bureaucrats do, they always cause a big splash. Almost everyone makes the mistake of trying to get you users, or negotiate with other companies, who to hire. Com/paulg 17. Certainly it can be written in unusual languages. It would have started a self-sustaining. He believes you should get all the way and run the programs on the server, it would seem the ideal plan for most people, you probably already know the answer to that is obvious: because you have less competition. Hardy's boast that number theory had no use whatsoever wouldn't disqualify it. In your own projects. Morale is tremendously important to a startup is best seen not as a product, but who want it, and the right to get one's investment back first if the company really cared about users they'd just advise them to switch to OSX. I already have momentum on some project, it can take a very long time.

I'm open to different types of solutions to this problem. I went to the local public school. So ironically the original description of the problem you think about? If a super-pattern, a pattern to the patterns. And since that's the default opinion of any investor about any startup, they've essentially just told you nothing. Running a startup is to get. They just can't do it; she just shuts down.

Need to see the fate of Microsoft's product? Investigate the Ubuntu Edge Don't worry about it the tablet being a sort of PC: with the Edge, the cell phone is a sort of PC.

Of all the conceivable eventual fate of registering gadgets, one that appears to be so engaging—externally, at any rate—is a solitary merged device that does it all. A pocketable thing that gives you figuring and Internet network when you're out on the town, however is similarly fit for driving an extra large screen, mouse, and console when you're sitting at a work area doing some work, watching spilling media, or playing an amusement on your TV.

This is, I would contend, the future that Microsoft is driving at. Microsoft has since quite a while ago kept up that tablets are PCs: that a registering gadget is a figuring gadget, and that it ought to bolster a wide range of sorts of information gadgets and applications. A gadget's part ought to be characterized by how it's being utilized at any minute in time, as opposed to its part being a fundamental normal for the gadget.

Microsoft's meeting, nonetheless, is still some way off. In spite of the fact that Windows 8 makes a solid contention that tablets and PCs can be one and the same, Microsoft's cell phone biological community is still rather independent. There is shared trait in the portion and in a few parts of the advancement model and APIs, however different parts stay extraordinary to the telephone.

Long haul, Microsoft discloses to me that the objective is to have the telephone and desktop working framework offer a similar APIs et cetera, yet they're not there yet. Once that joined stage is set up, merged equipment turns into the consistent next stride.

Microsoft has been slamming the "everything's a PC" drum for quite a while, yet the full emergence of that objective is still some way off. Then again, Canonical hasn't been so vocal in its promotion for this idea—yet it's tantalizingly near making the thought a reality.

A fantasy out there

Authoritative's Ubuntu Edge cell phone didn't get subsidized. The $32 million objective was missed by a long distance, left requiring a last-minute $20 million relief that never came.

The outline of the Edge is striking, and its equipment specs, however not really concluded, would have put it close to the high end of the market. Be that as it may, the most forward-looking some portion of the Edge was not the equipment as such, yet rather what it was utilized for.

128 GB of capacity and 4GB RAM are likely pointless excess on a telephone. This isn't to imply that that, in the race for spec-sheet predominance, stockpiling of that size won't emerge at some point or another on top of the line handsets. The vast majority of us simply don't really need to store that much stuff on our telephone.

Be that as it may, the Edge idea isn't just a telephone. It's a met gadget: it's a telephone that is likewise a PC. Connect it to a HDMI screen and match it with a Bluetooth console and mouse, and you can run PC programming on it (but just Linux programming which, paying little heed to its benefits, has hitherto neglected to overcome the desktop).

In spite of the fact that Canonical hasn't completed the product yet, the aspiration is for the telephone programming and the desktop programming to be independent yet in some sense incorporated. For instance, the telephone mail customer and the desktop mail customer share records, and music applications see similar documents (and for sure, the same filesystem).

On the touchscreen of a telephone or a tablet, Ubuntu OS has an interface that depends vigorously on scholarly route. Center operations, for example, exchanging between applications, are summoned by swiping from the edges of the screen. It's a plan that will feel shockingly commonplace to Windows 8 clients.

The Edge shouldn't be the principal merged gadget. Motorola has tested in this space. The Atrix's portable PC dock was somewhat awkward with the telephone embedded into the back of the thing, yet the outcome was a gadget that could pretty much be utilized as a cell phone or as a tablet. Be that as it may, it didn't generally have the equipment energy to fill in as a genuine PC. Indeed, even fundamental operations like looking over were moderate.

However, the Edge, with its fairly speculative particular, was the main gadget with enough energy to be both a telephone and a PC. The main gadget that would give you a chance to take your register control and your stuff with you wherever you go and let you utilize it anyway you wanted.That the Edge didn't get financed is a difficulty for the individuals who need to grasp, or if nothing else explore different avenues regarding, this specific vision without bounds. For patrons, it's somewhat disillusioning. They were planning to get a sparkly new toy, and now they won't. They'll need to manage with some other sparkly new toy.

For Canonical, it's a blended sack. The organization has attempted to put a positive turn on the crowdfunding exertion, taking note of that it (tentatively) raised more cash than whatever other crowdfunded extend (in less time, as well). The $32 million objective was dependably fiercely idealistic, far in overabundance of some other item financed in such a way, and requesting that individuals stump up $6-800 for a cell phone with an obscure particular, running incomplete programming, that they won't get for a year, was dependably a major inquire. From numerous points of view, it's unbelievable that as much was promised as it might have been.

In any case, positive turn aside, the endeavor to raise assets was a disappointment, and the Ubuntu Edge is probably not going to emerge. Sanctioned absolutely won't forsake the portable market, yet without the Edge, it'll need to get other individuals to do the equipment. The organization may well need to make some determination or stylish bargains thus.

This doesn't imply that the merged gadget thought is dead. Authoritative says that on any Ubuntu telephone with an adequate spec—enough RAM, CPU, and capacity—you'll have the capacity to run desktop programming when associated with desktop information and show gadgets. In any case, without equipment outlined expressly for desktop bolster, as the Edge was to be, it's conceivable that this desktop experience will be moderate and unsuitable. The Edge's RAM and nearby stockpiling were essential parts of filling that desktop part.

The level of support for the Edge is, I think, provisional support for the met idea. Raising $32 million would, obviously, have been significantly more grounded support, yet given the moderately high expense ($6-800) the still rather theoretical nature of the venture, to get as abundantly vowed as the Edge got demonstrates that there are a lot of individuals who'd jump at the chance to give this thought a run even with a high cost of passage.

This sort of focalized gadget isn't the main conceivable future we have. We may keep on having a plenty of various, specific gadgets—a portable workstation, a tablet, a cell phone, a tablet—and surely Apple has contended for quite recently that. Be that as it may, we're currently practically in the position to in any event attempt. As of not long ago, neither equipment nor programming was up to the test. Before too long, both will be.
