He will have to live off savings and deal with the incredibly limited options a PhD in an in demand field (from a top school) leave him with. Poor guy.

Short term pain for the longer term goal of not having a few conglomerates dominating the tech sector. Worth it.

I'm leaning towards yes on this. The tipping point for me was Google (near monopoly in search used to push a dominant share of the browser market, and a dominant share of mobile) a…

Why not? You have to start somewhere.

It's true that the UN is absurdly obsessed with Israel, but that doesn't mean Israel is completely in the right. It's not anti-semitic to criticize Israel.

Oh but they are fixing that by going to Amazon like models where they backload the stock payouts a ton.

haha, no. It becomes really easy for NIMBYs (NUMBYs?) and others to come out in droves.

When you've actually got nothing you spend your days fighting to survive. See every homeless person ever.

Having worked at 2 of the biggest I can say that some lesser version of some of those happened sometimes. Uber seems like an extreme case.

If you can't handle using generics sensibly then that's not a language problem, it's a you problem.
