Fundraising Advice From Ryan Wooley, Founder & CEO of BlueArx
But keep in mind that it's all completely voluntary. As someone who was a foreigner in the US, I got to the top 3-5% salary wise.

I'm astonished how much opportunities US has for education, jobs and business, yet people pass them en masse. There's a huge subset of the population that considers education and knowledge as something lame.

The second big problem is that young people are fed "you can be anything you want" mantra, so they end up studying (while spending tons of money and years) impractical things like art or history or women studies or international relations.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE art, but you shouldn't base your future on a possibility that you will become famous enough to support yourself making art.

What we need to do is educate our young people to choose their majors wisely. So next time you hear somebody wanting to study history, slap them in the face and tell them to read history porn during their free time.
But this is exactly the problem that perpetuates growing economic inequality. You have 99% of people that are interested in things, and 1% that are interested in profits. We are all playing the capitalist game from birth, and to opt out is to isolate oneself from the market. But very few people acknowledge they are in a gambit with those seeking profits over who gets better value in a transaction, so they end up siphoning their wealth into means of production owners pockets but that money will never come back because the wealthy only need a very limited subset of goods and services, and after that they will invest that revenue to make more money by robbing others of their productive gains.

Bankers don't charge by the hour. Lawyers are the ones with billable hours. Bankers make fees or commissions on a "per deal" basis.
Ask HN: What is the stupidest startup idea you ever had/heard?
I'm not even sure how the 10% lives unless you combine two professionals in a household. Even in a place like San Diego, which supposedly doesn't have much of an economy, you have to spend $500k to get a decent enough home to raise a family in. Close to $4,000 a month for mortgage + taxes + insurance. So you need to make over $11k a month to do this responsibly.

I understand that we're in a 2-income household world now, but I don't believe your fixed expenses (housing) should be tied to this expectation. One of you could easily lose your job, or one of you could decide to stay home with the children. Imagine one of your kids has special needs, is disabled, etc -- you will probably end up not being able to have both of you handle full-time professional careers.

This isn't just the case in America, housing is even more expensive in other western countries. I just don't understand it. There's too much credit (30 year mortgages shouldn't exist!) and not enough income out there. People are all too willing to saddle themselves with this stressful existence and it punishes those who wish to avoid these dangerous and stressful obligations.
I work in that industry, and that's not quite the case any more. Bonuses for junior analysts can reach up to around 50% (which nearly every other profession could never expect), but they would never exceed base salary.

Anybody saying otherwise has been reading too many tabloids.

You can find out more details about salaries in this area by using a site like glassdoor.com. This 100%+ bonus culture is simply not true (now).
My disappointment is that I purchased Reeder 1.x after hearing about the Google Reeder shutdown expecting that it handled multiple services. A few weeks later, the author releases it for "free" which gave the only forward path a new app with a recharge. It is an interesting issue. Which is more important, the product or the customer service?
I think in this case the OP is rather in love with the idea of capitalism and thinks it is a pure and perfect goal to strive for except for the nasty little practical implementations that keep getting in the way.

So given what we have now doesn't work we have to rename because otherwise we would be tarnishing capitalism's great reputation.

What you don't understand is that there are more important things in the world than repaying banksters. Greece has been forced to repay to the banksters. The cost: neo-nazi at 22% in the national polls. In opposition to this what the media claim there is more to live than bankster bonus.

Europe isn't the only place to be a doctor or construction worker, ya know?

Pretty much any doctor worth their salt can get a job in the US (we have a shortage of medical professionals) -- in fact, consider also RN's, hospitals have been putting out massive recruiting campaigns for RNs.

Construction is booming here as well, depending on the region of course, but there is more construction work going around these days than any time since the crash, and wages are going back into the six figures for many.

Yes, there are too many lawyers, but they get sucked up by companies in other roles anyhow.

So, I guess your perspective depends on your location, eh?
Of course they can.

Possessing things is as fragile as a human life.

It would take a tectonic shift in how policy is crafted and implemented but if the US government decided to turn on a dime tomorrow and redistribute wealth who could stop them?
Would you want your doctor on that schedule?

Doctors in their residency have notoriously awful hours, so bad that they had to legislation was crafted merely to cap the hours at a four-week average of 80 hours (meaning that, yes, they could work 3 one hundred hour weeks and one 20-hour week).

Its not about productivity. the people doing the work are junior and replaced every 3-5 years. they are disposable, in that sense. Since the repsonsibility gets quite steep quite quickly, its more efficient to haze the junior staff, to push them to the breaking point and see how they do, before promoting them. Many people enter banking who are not suitable to it, because of greed or social pressure. It would be a lot worse if those people were not weeded out. it might sometimes seem impossible that banks could be more poorly run, but there are many who would be far worse to put in these positions.

So the article is describing investment banking, which is particularly demanding because it's a service job. You're helping a client do a deal, and clients are demanding and deals are time-sensitive.

People generally do not go into investment banking expecting to make a career out of it. A few-year stint as an analyst is a great way to get into HBS/GSB/Wharton, and from there into a CFO-track position at an F500. It's also a good way to get into a PE/VC firm or a hedge fund. Because those firms do their own deals and have a lot of autonomy from their "clients" (LPs), the jobs aren't quite so demanding. Finally, some people just want to stick it out for 8-10 years, save up a couple of million dollars, and do something else after.
The freedom is indeed one of the biggest draws but I've found that with any degree of success there is also an automatic reduction in freedom because your responsibilities go up. Hard to balance that.

>"why are central bankers "necessary"

I didn't say they were, though I much prefer a system with them included.

I said "banksters" are necessary. You know, in the same sense garbage collectors and lawyers and doctors and teachers are necessary. I mean, I guess you could argue that none are really necessary. But again, as a bank customer and user of credit (which I'm sure you and 95% of everyone else here is), I will call them necessary for my desired society.

In the future, there won't be enough work for everybody to do.

Technology won't just produce cars. Technology won't just produce our food and our clothing. Technology will do everything. Technology will make the allocation of resources very, very efficient, including the allocation of wealth. Technology will take electrical energy and convert it into wealth. In the middle-distant future, the wealth that technology produces will be enough for a whole society of humans to subsist on without doing much work. However, in the beginning this wealth will be concentrated with the people who write the software, make the robots, and otherwise are technologically proficient.

The inescapable conclusion that I'm coming to is that this technology has the possibility of transforming society economically. It has the capacity to lift everyone out of poverty. But we need to adjust our fiscal policy so that the wealth doesn't become so concentrated with so few people. In the future we will be able to afford a safety net for everyone, where everyone is guaranteed a minimum quality of life, without much effort.

We need to go about setting up a Rawlsian framework where inequality is accepted, just as long as the least well off person is still reasonably well off. We can do this by paying for people's health care, paying for their food, paying for their housing. Self-interest and capitalism will still be the paradigm, but it won't be so brutal.

If we do it right.
And don't forget, if your regulations are too difficult to conform to, these banks and hedge funds will simply move operations to somewhere less stringent.

Your numbers seem off. 7-year-old desktops with monitors off rate 50-70 watts. More recent desktops in that link are 30-40 watts, so you're looking at numbers a little bit more than 20% smaller.

I'm also not sure about your office, but in my office the lights are on for much more than the four hours per day in your other link.

And similarly, we're talking about when I'm not using my computer for work, so it's not 440 kWh/year (24x50x365). Given I work about 9 hours a day, the portion of a year that I'm not at my workstation (including weekends) is about 250 full days - so the number is actually more like 240 kWh/year (24x40x250) for leaving it on overnight.

>The government should have long ago explained the parameters of surveillance that touches Americans, Aftergood said.

There should be no dragnet surveillance against Americans, according to the Constitution. All investigations need to be specific, against specific individuals, and evidence for probable cause needs to be given to a judge (which is not done through fishing expeditions, in case it wasn't "clear" enough for the NSA, because I noticed they're playing the "incompetent" card lately, when the only other alternative is playing the "guilty" card).

I'd also argue dragnet surveillance shouldn't be done against any country (except perhaps in time of war - declared war, not this perpetual drone war US is having all over the world now), but we should take things one step at a time, I guess.

> One U.S. official, for example, told reporters on a conference call that about 56,000 communications of Americans were inadvertently intercepted each year before Bates shuttered the program. The official called that a "relatively small number."

Is he joking? Yeah, I can see how when NSA spies on billions at a time, tens of thousands doesn't seem much of a big deal to them, but those tens of thousands could include all politicians and judges in US, and then some.

This is no different than saying "out of the thousands of 'targets' we killed with drones, only a few hundred were civilian - which is a "relatively small number" given the circumstances (drone attacks not being surgical)".

Who would accept such an argument? Does the police get to say that out of a few gang members shot, only a few shot by them were innocent civilians? I don't think so (well, ok, I know recently that's actually exactly what has been happening with the police in US, too, but it used to not be the case, and shouldn't be the case).

>Feudalism - each person (besides the highest king) is bound by oath to serve his master

Nope. Not by an "oath". By debt. Check your history books.
That type of feudalism isn't sustainable in a world with increasing automation. A better model would be slavery in Rome immiserating both the slaves (obviously) and the people who used to work the land, but on a far larger scale. Speaking of the implications of service robots, Hans Moravec once said, "Perhaps governments will decide they no longer need citizens." Which is unlikely. But the truth in that statement is more and more people's survival will depend on the sympathy (rather than self-interest) of the rich and the politicians whose bridles they hold.
London is different in this manner - an entry level software developer position (at a consultancy, bank, hedge-fund, etc) can go from 35k-45k.

If you're a banking intern, it means you're a college kid. If you're in NYC, you can do something like live in NYU student housing for the summer. It's no big deal.

As an analyst, you'll be making over six figures, with a base in the $70-$80k range. You can live 20 minutes from midtown Manhattan on that, though you'll probably have to have roommates (but hey you're 22 so again, no big deal).

>"What you don't understand is that there are more important things in the world than repaying banksters."

"Banksters" didn't force loans on Greece, or tell them to cook their books and spend frivolously. The politicians and citizens did that.

But guess what? They are free to default and not pay back any "banksters"! The repercussions for that will be the inability to get credit in the future. But, who cares, right? Because no one needs that credit that the "banksters" provide, according to you.

It still might happen. Then the complaint will be, at some point in the future, "Why are the banksters charging Greece extortionate rates to borrow money?!?"

Some people don't get it.

I believe the argument is:

Today people without money are not happy because life itself requires resources, that many people do not have, to be happy and healthy.

Tomorrow people without money could be happy and healthy because many of the things that make them so will require less resources to access. One example given in the interview I heard is that eventually you'll be able to get a good education for free from the Internet. Once people accept that premise, then spending big money on a college education isn't as necessary.

But then, it's the future so who knows what will happen since the future doesn't exist yet.
It's interesting how much micro fabrication technology has infiltrated the dentists' offices. When I needed a couple of crowns a few years back, my dentist was able to make my permanent ones on the spot (while I waited). He used a hand-held 3d scanner and then a small CNC mill machined out the pieces. I'd presume other components will quickly move that way as well.
