I live in New Mexico. I do not consider Hacker News to be a VC forum. For what it's worth (which is very little), I was employee #2 at amzn if I need some sort of credentials to get you to respond constructively to my point rather than with some hand-wavey ad hominem.

replyReminds me of a quote from some otherwise forgettable movie I saw: "My father left me with very little, except for all his money."
By "worth" in this context, I mean "authority to speak in a context claimed to be limited to a certain kind of person" (a limitation I do not acknowledge exists on HN, or anywhere, really).
replyFor the record, my net worth increased by about $1M before taxes based on the 1 year of options I got at amzn. But not relevant in this context.
