One of my clients at my old finance firm was Alaska’s oil fund. They do pretty well for themselves and dole out 2k/year in cash to everyone living there. It’s unsurprisingly a very popular program, though I’m kind of morally opposed to a government function like that.

Secfi | Software engineer(s) | Amsterdam, the Netherlands | EUR 40-80k + equity

Secfi is the pre-wealth advisor for startup employees. Figuring out what to do with your equity-based compensation is complicated and expensive and is therefore ignored and neglected. Secfi makes handling startup equity compensation simple and affordable. We build technology that helps employees make the right decisions for their equity compensation.

For example: one of the most complicated things for employees is figuring out how much taxes they need to pay when exercising their Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options. The tax planning tool inside our dashboard does just that: https://www.secfi.com/#gif-container

An exciting challenge we’re working on next is an exercise planning tool that tells you what you should do with your equity based on your personal.

Things have been going very well here at Secfi, and we’re looking to add 10 more people to our Amsterdam team in 2019. We have a variety of engineering vacancies including frontend and full stack JavaScript engineers: https://www.secfi.com/careers

Questions? Please email careers@secfi.com to get in touch.

They let poor countries burn the oil, and use the money to pay for electric cars.
Norway is also one of the few remaining countries that have a wealth tax (among OECD countries, the only other one is Switzerland), which is currently at 0.85% of all net assets above 1.4m NOK, including cash, public and private stock, cars, boats, and of course real estate. Material assets such as real estate is assessed based on tables that take square footage, age, etc. into consideration. The tax is, unusually and somewhat controversially, uncapped. In theory, you could end up owing 100% or more of your income in wealth tax.

I think Alaska's system is fine. I don't think it's morally worse to give people their money up front instead of holding on to it "for them" but only letting the majority decide how to spend it.

Middleclass Americans' income taxes are around or above 20%. Americans generally are opposed to taxes because there is a perception (rightly or wrongly) that our government is inefficient (due to some combination of corruption and incompetence), and we should sort that out before increasing taxes on programs with a (perceived) high probability of mismanagement.

> Obviously I can't speak for the general population, but as for my close proximity: My colleagues think taxes are good too. No brain drain here.

I think that's the critical difference--Norwegians believe they are getting value out of their taxes and Americans do not.

EDIT: Obviously this is a generalization of groups; not all Americans think the government is inefficient. Hopefully we can forego the predictable and pointless digression into "well not all Americans are that way!"

I started out about 25 years ago and I suppose all I can do is to reiterate that nobody has ever asked if I have a degree. I don't really have a good handle on what the IT job market is like for people who are less experienced, TBH, so whether that information is actually useful or not I don't know. I still think it's worth applying anyway. I have worked in places where job ads have gone out for the same role I was already doing and after reading those ads I would have come to the conclusion that I was not qualified to apply. Basically my take is that people love to load those ads up so that they look impressive. When I interview what I want to know about a candidate is: are they smart and can they get stuff done? Anything else is secondary, really.

Location is probably a factor too. I am based near London and there are a lot of dev jobs around here. If you are regional then that may not be the case.

A friend referred me to this genius who's an expert in credit repair, I contacted this dude and he told me he could get rid of my student loan, remove all negative items on my credit and also increase my score and that it would only cost me. At first I didn't believe this but I decided to give it a short since I really need this. To my greatest surprise he was able to get rid of the student loan, all bad items on my credit and also improved my score to 800s. With this I was able to get my first house and also do things I have wanted to do. You can get to them on globaltechnologies46 at G m ail dot co m. You can tell them I referred you.

I believe it was Andrew Yang who talked about UBI on Recode podcast recently. He also talked about UBI giving people the freedom to try something new. You may be more likely to start a business if you knew you had something to fall back on. This might be especially beneficial in the rural areas of America where $1000/month will support you longer than in urban centres.

I don't think trademarks can lapse in the US and many other countries (copyright can; which is a huge debate in an of itself: see Disney).

I actually use "tissue" and "copy", but those kinda make sense. Personally I hate it when people keep saying "I Googled..." because it reminds me of this bullshit search engine monoculture we have right now (I try to use DuckDuckGo more, but I miss the days of Yahoo, Lycos, Hotbot, Dogpile, Excite and how they all give you DIFFERENT results!)

Velcro though ... totally didn't even realize it was a brand until like just now .. and I'm still going to use it generically, because it should just be at this point. :-P
