I think the lack of interest is because of lack of information. Eg. I don't like making YouTube videos but if it helps me make some money then i can find motivation to make videos.
> Say you have a 2% chance of picking a unicorn and being a member of the founding team. That 2% is honestly way too high for most people, and perhaps a bit low for others, but a good median to anchor on. $10M * 2% = $200K. And realistically you’re only going to get that this tranche of equity every 3-4 years at most, so that’s a risk-adjusted value of $50–$66k.
I didn't understand this math, 2% is the chance of it being a unicorn. 1% of 1B is 10M is the amount you might get if the startup sells for 1B. what does 2% of 10M signify?
$200k is your expected equity payoff if you have a 2% chance that your equity is going to be worth $10M and a 98% chance that it's going to be worthless, which is the simplified model used in that back-of-the-envelope calculation
UK was rich because of the fortunes "looted" (along with the term) from its foreign colonies. No doubt they are getting poorer since they no longer have their colonies to milk.
and the US is rich because all that wealth was transferred to them during the European wars which it arguably joined so it would be able to receive payment for the eventual debt.
For reference: Britain was already using US credit in 1916 only half-way through the first Great War. All of the liquid wealth got blown in the space of two years due to the unexpected scale of the conflict.
At most you'll annoy your internet service provider. MAC addresses don't leave the immediate network they're used on, so you can do whatever you want within your home network.
There are downsides for almost everything out there. Outright dismissing JWTs is not correct.
