That's not how it works. When you incorporate, the corporation has shares split among the founders. The founders themselves determine the "par" value of each share - essentially its intrinsic worth.

You have to pay this amount of money to acquire the shares upon incorporation. (Each state does it a little differently.) So it's generally made a very low value between $0.0001 and $0.01. You'd pay the same amount if you were to incorporate a new business. That's it. He put some of his founding shares in Paypal in the Roth IRA when he founded the company and he got incredibly lucky. Nothing sinister happened.

I don't, I stopped caring about truthes, at least in a large scale social context.. now if someone could tell this to the world.
>Fine. I’m not a lawyer, but I’ll tell you this. If some rando IT dude is going through folks’ computers after they quit and I find out, I am quitting your company and telling everyone. I have never done that to anyone reporting to me and no company has ever done that to me. I can’t believe you’d accept these work conditions. Wild.

Every large company I've worked at or heard of it's pretty much assumed that IT may monitor everything you do on their machine. Everyone knew this. Which is why you don't use the company laptop for personal use.
> Because they'll just call 911 and say "I just paid ransom under cover"?

Because some whistleblower will leak it (or just some person who is seeking their 15 minutes of fame).

Or because there's a transaction to China by a company which never worked with China. Like if you paid to a security consultant company based in China, and that consultant company was registered a week ago, and the website was down for a week, that is a reason to start investigation.

Oh, by the way, a law may mandate disclosure of a ransom request like within three days. So even if the FBI couldn't prove the consultants were fake, the company can be still be fined for not disclosing the request.

> STRONG INCENTIVE for them to keep the whole thing a SECRET

I suspect companies which pay ransom now don't exactly shout about it on every corner. Only those who refuse to pay do so.

When the company is formed the valuation is genuinely very small because it has no assets, customers, etc. Buying some of your shares in a Roth IRA at this point is relatively common, enough so that I've heard multiple people suggest that founders do it.
I don't think you are allowed to borrow against a Roth IRA. You are able to borrow from an IRA in a very small set of situations. I think they are mainly buying your first house, going to college, becoming disabled, or adopting a child.

I am not a lawyer so take it with a grain of salt and I am very probably wrong.

"That explanation is the same explanation"

Or rather, all the knowledge graphic does is stuff not much more complicated than associate picture to name to article.

But what is pernicious is that presents itself as a knowledge graph and sometimes appears to have knowledge and so it seems to people to be a somewhat authoritative statement. And that causes people not-critically-thinking people to reach false and destructive beliefs.
There's definitely a deletionist cult within Wikipedia. While acknowledging that it shouldn't be a dumping ground for essentially individual web pages, it goes too far IMO for people who have clear documented credentials and public history. This favors certain occupations over others of course--including academics, journalists, etc.--who have public bios, papers/articles, and often articles about them. But deletionist tendencies in these areas tend to work against claims that it's all about verifiability.

I absolutely love Godot, and I've used them all. The only reason not to use Godot is if you're already entrenched in one of the other engines' ecosystems, like if you're working in a large team that already has processes around Unity's workflow. Some Unity features are more evolved, but if you're a novice game developer, these things won't matter. And IMO Godot is much much more intuitive to someone who is already a software developer.

My redundancy these days is having a cellular-equipped iPad.

It's saved my bacon a few times at this point. Basically a (large and unwieldy) cell phone I can pull out when my main driver falls dead.

Pro tip: install ride share apps on the tablet in advance, because in a serious UX fail, Uber and Lyft both want you to receive an SMS code to activate accounts. I was lucky that time, that getting my iPhone out of airplane mode at 1% battery wasn't enough to trigger forced shutdown.

Lyft doesn't even have a separate app, but Uber actually offers an iPad-native experience, but is unable to activate you without SMS. Which, along with standard voice calls, is the one thing a data plan associated with a phone number won't let you do except from the primary advice.

I'd guess $.001 is the par value and there was no 409A valuation. The initial basis doesn't really matter if it is essentially zero or $1 or $5 in this case. The implied current price on the founders shares is approximately $2500.

I agree with Propublica's take

Yet, from the start, a small number of entrepreneurs, like Thiel, made an end run around the rules: Open a Roth with $2,000 or less. Get a sweetheart deal to buy a stake in a startup that has a good chance of one day exploding in value. Pay just fractions of a penny per share, a price low enough to buy huge numbers of shares. Watch as all the gains on that stock — no matter how giant — are shielded from taxes forever, as long as the IRA remains untouched until age 59 and a half. Then use the proceeds, still inside the Roth, to make other investments.

I also think that there should be a cap on tax free distributions sheltered by Roths, and they should not be transferable upon death.

We did that! Yea chrome basically keeps right up, of course not accounting for SIMD
Sure, $0.001 is the value on paper (and under current law). The point is, it's exploitable (let's say I'm an Apple engineer, I start a new company and get a wink wink from some friends in high places who want to invest in my company doing X. I put in my founders stock into IRA in return for first dibs on placement for the investor - 1 year later company has valuation, my stock has risen many %%. Sure, I'm technically doing everything legally, but practically it's somewhat equivalent to insider trading + avoids taxes).

I would personally ban non-public investments in Roth IRAs. That way a debate about market value doesn't have to happen.
Reality Behind the Hype: 40 Years of Quantum Computing
You're right that this is legal, and that it does not seem to involve any trickery. It's not clear that it's even a loophole per se.

But that is not the same as intended, which is a stricter bar. Arguably a provision capping the tax-exempt returns to a mere 10000% (just spitballing, surely there are better ways to write such a provision) would have been more in keeping with the intent of the law.
Whistle blowing journalism implies you are reporting on acts breaking the law.

Reporting things that are juicy but not illegal, is effectively gossip / tabloid material.

You don't get to break the law in order to effectively gossip.

Case in point. You don't get to break into the King of England's cell phone to report he's infertile, even if you think means English citizens have a right to know that the country will never have a Prince-heir.

That is not legitimate journalism, and its certainly not whistle-blowing. Its repugnant and tabloid journalism.

Personal privacy is never second to the mob. Period.

EDIT: unsafe, fraud, abuse, corruption, malfeasance of government/company funds, are almost always also breaking fed/state/opco policy or regulations, and as such they are illicit and fall within the spectrum of whistle-blowing.

At least with Xinjiang, they deny all the negative stories and have invested quite a bit of effort to push unbelievable "positive" propaganda about it. Disappearing someone who's known outside of China undermines that propaganda effort. That doesn't mean they won't do it, but clearly identifying yourself like these people did makes such actions more costly, which can tip the scales (e.g. it might save you from a bullet and land you in prison instead).

If you stay anonymous, no one may know unless the pile of bodies gets too big to deny.

Georgia Tech's OMSCS degree requires an undergrad degree (CS, math, comp eng, or EE preferred) for admissions. It even states "work experience will not take the place of an undergraduate degree."[1]

Coursera offers one online BS in computer science with the University of London [2] costing £11,229 - £16,790 Depending upon geographic location.

Edx offers microbachelors degrees, but doesn't seem to yet offer a BS in CS.

Oregon State Uni offers an online BS in CS for $69,480 USD in tuition (180 credits * $386/credit).

To your point, it can certainly be delivered relatively cheaply online, but there doesn't seem to be an incentive to do so. If we use GT as the benchmark, then 10k / 2 years should mean that a 4 year degree can be offered for 20k / 4 years.

It seems delivering MS programs more cheaply is not the biggest barrier in US higher education. It seems a bigger impact would be to deliver the BS level education more cost effectively.

That's a little bit different. The brand names demand higher prices because people desire them more. It's not a result of the cost of advertising, but of the effects of advertising.

The generic isn't cheaper because it didn't spend money on advertising, the generic is cheaper because if it were the same price as the brand name, you'd buy the brand name. It is my firm belief that Kraft (aka Mondelez) has been getting away with selling garbage products for at least a decade now just because the brand is so strong.

Pre-AI comic
I think you're missing the thrust of ProPublica's reporting. This is not an article claiming that laws have been broken. It is pointing out the difference in intent and reality for a part of our financial law. It is not that Thiel is getting huge windfalls from this account now (he is a billionaire, he does not need them), it's that this is another example of a billionaire getting abnormally large absolute benefits from a financial instrument.

The message is not that Thiel has committed some crime, but that he has cleverly and successfully used an instrument designed for the 'middle class' to shelter billions in earnings. The implication is that we should reform these tax vehicles so that the ultra-wealthy cannot use them - not that Thiel is cheating the system as it exists. The lines which talk about contribution limits to Roths are to emphasize that this was not intended to shelter this kind of wealth.

> This is someone who used the law exactly as intended

I 100% agree Thiel has broken no crime and I think you should be *embarrassed* to say that the people who created the Roth intended this. There is no evidence of that. We should recognize that this Roth IRA is sheltering more money than people expected and make (or refrain from making) regulatory changes in response.
This reminds me of Trump supporters who said, "Because he beat the IRS and paid zero taxes means he's smarter than the system."

Your argument is along the same lines: Theil followed the law, ergo nothing "sinister" happened.

Which is the same as: "It isn't sinister because there is no law."

Yet, where did laws come from? Oh right, from people who have ethics. Because our ethics do not come from laws; our morals do, but not our ethics. Morality is an invented extension of ethics, which is codified into law when people think something shitty is happening (well, that's how it SHOULD happen... but that's the School-House-Rock version)

IMHO, and many others (sadly, to your "dismay") Theil is being a greedy pig exploiting vagaries of the law for his MASSIVE gain, and there needs to be laws to prevent this kind of behavior because it is only available to the super wealthy, and it makes the elite class even more untouchable (plus a thousand other second-order effects).

It's reasonable for good journalistic organizations to have access to secret government records. They just need to be responsible with them. The same discussion happens any time there's a leak of intelligence/surveillance/military documents. What if the info puts soldiers at risk?

> It is a technical problem, and I thought it was more or less solved.

As a technical problem, it is more or less understood to be unsolvable.

The core issue is the more information you strip away, the more sanitized the data is, the less useful it is. Once the statistics of your "representative" set are no longer that (even worse, weirdly biased) you are very limited in what you can do. This works ok if you already 100% know the data you need and don't, but otherwise it falls apart pretty quickly.

On the other hand, relatively small numbers of innocuous data points about individuals will identify them uniquely.

These two points are in fundamental contention.
