Haven't you heard? Capitalism is now communism.

I didn't realise that McDonald's owned Andy Warhol. I always assumed Campbell's Soup did.

I've heard he was more like the Elon Musk of the open source world. He didn't co-found Reddit, he was placed there by Y Combinator staff to the protests of its actual founders. Maybe some of the other projects he's credited for also were like that.

I've never heard anyone in the internet freedom or open source communities speak ill of him, and something tells me a 14 year old was not getting involved in writing the RSS spec to steal clout for financial gain.

I find it interesting, could you expand on that? or is there any reference?

That's a weird, uncited, and vague attack on him. Like, who GAS if he did or did not cofound Reddit (which no one here has claimed)?

Yes, that's how the trick works. Profit is revenue minus expenses. By increasing expenses, you decrease profit, and therefore tax. But it only works if you had a profit before, because the government doesn't pay you back tax when you lose money.

No, there are better public sites too, like 1337x
