> I think this advice is cutting your nose off to spite your face. Ah, the standard phrase used when people try to get you to work against your interests. The rest of your post amo…

> So, the sales organisation managed to "create" $400k of "value" Yes, it's called "fraud".

That makes sense if you're a 3rd world immigrant, because the value delta between your old life and your new life is immense. For someone born in a 1st world country, it makes litt…

You are entitled to your sentiment, but calling people and their approach to life "toxic" is a good way to alienate them and dismiss what you have to say. There are many ways to ru…

I've been in a similar situation and all I can say is I feel you. I've become very distrustful and suspicious of people in this industry, especially the fast-talking "we're changin…

I don't see it either, but I guess people can justify whatever they want to justify.

And Bitcoin.

> Based on my experience I am 100% convinced that people that can't find joy in the happiness of others should remain single and even more important: never, ever have kids. As a co…

What if you value your consciousness and the here and now more than the idea of your DNA staying alive well after you're dead? To me, my consciousness is my identity (myself). The …

A counterargument would be that it's harder for a big government to change direction easily, once decided and set in motion. Wrong decisions can compound because it's easier for a …

Possibly, due to a lack of long term stability and job security. When every round of financing results in a different VC installing its own people in the company and shaking things…

As I'm entering the fourth decade of my life, I have actively started avoiding any company that 1) self identifies as a startup, 2) employs less than 50 people, 3) is VC funded in …

You have fallen victim to the outcome bias. It is a mistake to attribute the quality of a decision to a specific outcome when the correlation between their determinants is low or u…

> I also generally don't like the idea of someone else telling me what my contributions are worth. By putting in all those extra hours, you're basically pinning all of your hopes o…

I think you need to reexamine the meaning of the word "monopolized". Having a single state-sanctioned business (and therefore backed by the threat of violence) is somehow less mono…

And you are ignoring a much bigger issue. For instance, the Fed has expanded the USD monetary base by about 4 trillion in the past six years. So why not take that figure, divide it…

> A bitcoin's value is 100% based on what the public values it at. So just like any other currency and commodity then? Intrinsic value doesn't exist. Everything is relative to wher…

Since the concept of "culture" is so vague and no one using it seems to be able to describe what exact set of criteria it represents, it appears to be whatever a hiring manager wan…

I think you'll find that most people will "get along" with you just fine if you're a decent person, pay well and don't ask them to sacrifice a too big portion of their life. If the…

I understand the individual words in your post but have no idea what you're actually trying to say. Have you thought about running for congress?

The whole "culture fit" concept is a direct result of corporate hubris. When a company mentions "culture", I don't walk, I run for my sanity.

Your argument is completely disingenuous - same as the people who are nitpicking and torturing the language in the constitution in order to get what they want. When people are usin…

You didn't really address anything he said; instead you resorted to name-calling and disengaging from the conversation. I always see this from religious people when their beliefs a…

Normally I'd just tell you that I don't subscribe to moral and philosophical relativism, but for the sake of this discussion, I will oblige in explaining further. First off, what i…

I mean look, I understand what the philosophy is about, and I think it would never work in the real world. We've learned time and again that entrusting a lot of executive power to …
