Sunnyvale, CA
Most of us with meaningful equity comp still piece together taxes, hedging, and diversification as separate problems. Spreadsheets, rules of thumb, and a lot of second-guessing. I built OptionsAhoy to do it properly: one optimizer that evaluates millions of combinations across multi-year horizons and three market scenarios (bullish, neutral, bearish). You set your actual goals: max after-tax value, minimize taxes, maximize cash, whatever mix matters to you, and it returns a clean month-by-month action plan. Still invite-only beta, but feedback so far has been strong. optionsahoy.com Curious what others are using for these kinds of decisions

BREAKING: French police have encountered rioters and looters armed with AK47s and Scorpion submachine guns on the streets of Paris, Marseille and Lyon. The information comes from the Le Journal du Dimanche journalist Laura Tchekov, who says that her newspaper has received this information from sources within the DGSI, France’s main internal security agency. The weapons were carried by minors and young adults described as being part of organized crime groups but sometimes also close to the Islamist movement in France. The journalist says that not all armed rioters were arrested and that several of them remain on free foot. It’s believed that police officers refrained from making arrests as they thought they could be both outmanned and outgunned at the moment and that hundreds of people were on the streets, creating a risk of a shoot-out that could have resulted in a large number of wounded and dead.

Did they encounter some people speaking Russian? This looks like one of those GRU riot stunts we observed already in France. These people seem to know Russian pretty well:

Putin's desire to revive the Russian empire knows no morality. It lives in lies. It’s only achievable through mass murder and genocide. It exists through people like Donald Trump giving it life.

So once you have $100M, neither you, nor your kids need to ever worry about money. Let's multiply that by 10. Trump, as well as his friends and family practically all have these amounts. My question I can't resolve: what makes you then want to help kill children to get more money? You can't take it to the grave. So what's the incentive? Paying Putin will go straight to killing children, we can see it daily. Trump sees it daily too

BREAKING: Elon Musk says he will donate one share of SpaceX stock, $SPCX, to every American child in 2027. There are currently ~73 million children in the US and SpaceX is trading at $146/share. This makes Elon Musk’s donation worth $10.7 billion based on current share price.

Starlink slowed down for a couple days in Ukraine so a bunch of Europeans and a bunch of Democrats have declared that Elon Musk is the most evil person to ever live. "Elon is the worst human being ever." "As soon as our technology catches up to Elon's, we will boycott his products!" "SpaceX and Starlink are dead!" Look at you fools go. All because Elon allegedly didn't do everything in his power to help Ukraine. Wait until you dumb f*cks hear about your hero, Barack Obama. After Putin annexed Crimea and moved 30,000 troops to the Ukrainian border, Obama refused to give Ukraine weapons to defend itself. And he refused for years. Surely you Ukraine fans remember that right? Surely you remember the President of Ukraine standing before Congress, begging for weapons to defend Ukraine. You must because you all love Ukraine. Surely you remember Obama's speech in 2014 at the NATO summit. If you don't, you should watch Fox News because they are currently playing my video of his speech. During his speech Obama said that Russia was a regional power that posed no threat to America, even after Putin invaded part of Ukraine. How could that be? We are told now that if Putin takes Ukraine, he could take the entire world. Was Obama lying back then? Impossible, Obama is incapable of that. During that same speech Obama also said that Ukraine should work out its own future and that many Ukrainians in fact had allegiance to Russia. Obama said that countries regularly break international law and that it wasn't our problem. How could he say that? Obama sounded like "Putin's Puppet" right? You fans of Ukraine must be so angry at Obama. Here's a video of the Ukrainian President begging before Congress for weapons after Putin took Crimea. Say it you Ukraine lovers. Say that Obama is worse than Elon Musk. Will you? Nah. You all are frauds. Also included in the video is Biden in 2018 being asked about the fact that Trump gave Ukraine the weapons to defend itself that Obama would not. Biden said that he agreed with Trump and that he had spent years arguing to Obama to supply Ukraine those same weapons. Come on Ukraine fans. Speak out about Obama like you do about Elon and Trump. 😜

When @Starlink helped rescue four sailors and three dogs. ♥️ Four people and three dogs were stranded after a storm badly damaged their boat in the South Pacific. They were more than 300 km from New Caledonia. They had no radio contact. They sent their location through Starlink. A cruise ship changed course and travelled five hours to reach them. All four people and all three dogs were rescued. This is why Starlink matters. When people need help, a working connection can save lives. This life-saving technology should be available in every part of the world.

Ukraine's anti drones lost radio contact with Starlink: x.com/Gerashchenko_en/status… You know, I think after this, no amounts of saved sailors and dogs will convince any military or government to buy this system. This is a perfect shot in the foot, if not worse

Huh? People cling to the 2A but don’t realize it means nothing when the judge and jury are from the 3rd World and will always side with their tribe over yours. People are too afraid of being called racist to push for remigration, so they can actually have a jury of their peers. Good luck with this naive thinking.

Exactly, read my post. About your statement that some amendment won't matter under certain circumstances: these amendments are good together, and they apply under all kinds of circumstances. Btw, Russia is the 3rd world, which is why I mentioned that case

🇺🇦 Zelenskyy delivers a blunt message to the United States: “Just give us Starlink back. If you refuse, Ukraine will survive. We will continue defending ourselves with or without it. But why would you restrict a country fighting for its survival? Why make it harder for us to defend our people? I simply cannot understand the reasoning behind this decision. It is a mistake.” Ukraine isn’t asking America to fight its war. It’s asking America not to stand in the way of its defense.

Trump admits that Russia is helping Iran to kill and maim American troops. But just a “very little.” This is a grotesque betrayal of US forces on the battlefield in this war—and their families. The war that Trump launched. No American Commander-in-Chief has sunk so low.
Trump: My decision on Russia is a very simple one. I don't want to do anything that will drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table. Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help the Islamic Republic of Iran, compared to what they could be doing. Zelenskyy is using Diesel Refineries in Russia as a target, knowing that these attacks are seriously hurting the world diesel markets, including those in the United States. Farmers, ranchers, and businesses of all kinds are suffering greatly from this, but Russia is, nevertheless, sending, at a low price, millions of barrels of diesel to the World. Zelenskyy doesn't care, and frankly, with all of the money that Europe is famously giving him, and that Crooked Joe Biden gave him in the past, he doesn't want to end this war, and probably never did. He could have made a better deal two years ago than he can now. His country is in shambles, a large portion of his land is lost, his oceans and seas are gone, and his male population is low, wounded, and/or dead. I WANT THIS WAR END!

Stalin was soft spoken too.
Vance: "I've never met Putin in person. I've spoken to him on the phone. He was calmer than you might expect. The American media has a stereotype of him. He's very deliberate and measured in his words. I think, at his core, he's someone who cares about Russia's interests as he sees them. One reason he respects the President is that he recognizes the President cares about the interests of the American people."

There's a number of soft spoken people who killed tens of millions combined. Mao, Pol Pot, and lately, Kim and Ayatollah. So basically, this visibly neurotic man appears to judge moral character by how someone speaks. Our Vice President, ladies and gentlemen

PS I’ve met Putin many times and listened in on calls with him as well. I also speak Russian. Yes he is soft spoken, deliberate, and measured. So what? He’s still a killer. He still launched a barbaric invasion of Ukraine, that has produced tragic loss of life not seen on this scale in Europe since WWII.

Since I posted about using Grok Bot to buy things with my credit card, so many people have been asking whether it’s actually safe What’s actually strange to me is that for decades, people have been handing their credit cards to complete strangers at restaurants. Someone takes your card, walks away with it, swipes it through a machine, processes your payment, and brings it back And most people don’t even think twice about it We live in a digital world where software already handles enormous amounts of financial transactions every single day Tbh these days is actually more safer to let AI/SI do the shopping for you then you doing the shopping for you with AI/SI agents, you can sandbox them, give them limited permissions, and have them ask for your approval before making important decisions…. These days the latest models are really good at understanding the real world and they’re extremely cautious about the things that they do for you From what I’ve personally experienced with Grok Bot, it’s actually extraordinary how cautious it is when handling these tasks If something is expensive or really needs your attention, it simply pauses for a moment and asks you what you want to do. It gives you a few simple options, you choose what you want, and the final decision is still yours where you have to make And all of this happens without you having to go through the entire hassle of shopping yourself I’ve personally watched how carefully Grok Bot handles these things, and I’m really impressed by it Even Elon said that if Grok Bot makes a mistake with your purchase, they’ll make you whole That tells you how much confidence the team has in what they have built…. and it is really amazing. I just run out of limits every single week because I’ve been using it so much The interesting part is Grok Bot actually does a better job shopping than you in many situations Think about how often you open shopping website to buy something, see some random banner or attractive advertisement, and suddenly you’re looking at three other things you never even needed 😂 This happens all the time with online shopping These websites are absolutely filled with advertisements designed to grab your attention and get you to buy more things But Grok Bot can actually research what you need, compare products, find better deals, and save you a lot of money instead of getting you distracted in that entire mess of advertising And the amount of time it saves is actually just ridiculous You don’t have to spend hours browsing different websites, comparing prices, going through endless product listings, filling out forms, and handling every single step of the purchase You just tell your Grok Bot what you want, and it handles so much of the work for you. And whenever something actually needs your attention, it simply asks It gets so much easier, and once you start using these Grok Bot for everyday tasks, you really begin to understand how incredibly useful it really is

It's not that handing your credit card to complete strangers in restaurant is perfectly safe, it isn't. But you can call your bank, and they'll call police, so it's pretty safe. When you post your credit card into an open chat, you _don't_know_ who or how many people you're handling it over. These people may micro charge it for years to come
