You registered in Delaware without figuring out how much actual taxes you will have to pay. If you did, you would know right away that that invoice was bogus.
Not sure why this is on the front page.
Everyone is a noob sometime, and the first Delaware Tax Bill is a pretty common cause of heart attacks for new founders.
Since I wish I'd seen an article like this when I started out, I don't really begrudge OP or the upvoters for putting this reminder on the front page.
Also, 2 second google search will answer all the questions one might have about this invoice. You can also use the calculator they clearly advise you to use within the invoice.
Not a front page material.

If it's appropriate for the site, it's appropriate for the front page. Simple as that.
Here's something to take note of - your opinion doesn't matter. The magic of a democracy is that a group* of opinions do matter.

In abstract yes. In practice it happens. And several succesful companies started with a cavalier attitude towards much bigger things. In fact without a cavalier attitude in some things, the fact-checking, lawyer and bureacracy cost would be impossible to bear for a new personal business startup.
