I've been curious why frontend tools/projects are so often monetized and commercial but backend tools rarely are. Why is that? Since frontend is more art than science?
Most likely I'd have to give half to the IRS, then could barely afford a condo not too far from the city and and a used electric car with the rest. Or, since that seems barely worth it I'd seek out a financial advisor to invest it for me, then continue to rent and maintain my old car with slightly less worry about my future.
No tax burden. Assuming your balance is $1M free and clear.
Personally, I would buy a business that does about 250k-300K in yearly profits. A business I can run with a small team as needed. Now I am generating a 25-30% yearly return (yes, I am working on the business too and not totally passive but there are businesses like these you can spend may be 15-20 hours a week).
What kind of business? Sounds like you'd be spending the entire $1M on it?
Stocks are the smart option, but I'd heavily consider a 5% Treasury for the $50,000/year guaranteed.
You'd only want to do that if you give up your job/income and need all of the income from the capital, right?

I was thinking about getting one of these to replace my 6+ year old XPS 13. Did you compare this to the new XPS 13 Plus? It looks like for Linux laptops, these are pretty much the only two good options. How's the battery life?
Looks like an interesting idea. Other than PHP-hate, why would someone choose this over something like Drupal?
