I know two Bay Area H1Bs that were just recently offered over 180K base salary with 250k+ in RSUs over 4 years. That's roughly $250k/yr total package. The good H1Bs will get extrem…

Pretty much insane. I'm not sure if they asked this from their other candidates but if they did, they probably eliminated 99% of all the other great candidates just because they wo…

The same thing happens in all of Asia. In Japan, you have to apply with a picture on your resume, and hiring managers will ask married women if they intend to get pregnant, because…

I think we should implement an all-solitary-confinement prison system. We can make the initial prison terms shorter by an order of magnitude (a few days to a few weeks, depending o…

Then switch. Stop whining about it. If this is as big of a problem as the OP purports, and if people start leaving in droves, then imgur will die. This is the risk that they are ta…

"Oh no, a free web site isn't behaving the way that I want it to!" I don't know if it's just because I'm old, but people need to stop whining about how free websites are behaving. …

TLDR: we didn't know what we were doing when we started, and we learned a lot along the way. Unfortunately this came at the expense of our customers.

There is no rent control on single family homes in SF, regardless of its age.

I came in to say this. "Oncle Tom" translates to "Uncle Tom" in English, and in the US it has an extremely derogatory meaning towards African Americans. It's essentially a "black m…

Yes, I absolutely agree. Ignoring never worked, it only made it more fun and challenging for me. The best way to stop a bully is to punch them in the face early on and make them th…

I'm sure almost everyone knows it's wrong, and I probably knew it was wrong too, which is why I was secretive about it in the sense that I never really got caught by teachers or my…

I was a child so I had no end goals. I hated their weakness and wanted to make them suffer. These days, whenever I feel those same feelings albeit a lot more muted, I stifle them b…

Ignoring me never worked. It would actually encourage and motivate me to keep going and upping my verbal attacks until I got a reaction from you. I do not suggest to anyone to just…

I've been thinking about this a lot. I'm remorseful of what I did as a kid. I was at times the ringleader that would make fun of particular kids and if I were a parent now, I would…

Yes, but that's the point. I never picked on someone who I felt would fight back. I don't know how I developed this intuition as a kid but it was fairly accurate. The thing is if t…

As a former bully, my advice to anyone being bullied is to fight back. I wasn't someone who would physically attack people, but I would relentlessly verbally abuse them. I'm not su…

1) If you don't believe in credit cards, how did you get in $6000 debt in 6 months? 2) How do you get free monthly Uber credit? 3) That's 3 very intense treatments over the course …

I'm sorry for your problems, but could you please clarify a few questions for me because there are a lot of problems with what I'm reading: 1) You claim to be 22 years old, but you…

I use munchery 2-3 times per week. I love it, it's restaurant quality meals at similar price point. The difference is that I don't like the subscription idea, since I want a meal t…

No. It's not $1/yr. it's $1. That's it. There is no recurring revenue stream. That's what makes this even more insane.

Do you even know why the US went off the gold standard? If gold is such a panacea, then why did the US get off it? You should really understand history before you start spouting no…

Based on every single piece of study, this is categorically false. The only people that have benefited, most recently since the credit crisis, was the rich. That means that the "ri…

Your entire understanding of the credit crisis is deeply flawed. 1) Savers do not create jobs. Spenders create jobs. When you get a situation where people would rather save their m…
