Does your funnel explicitly exclude people from state schools or lower tier FAANGs? Seems like it does casually browsing LinkedIn.

Why the hell does Stripe keep doing things outside of their payments wheelhouse? It makes no sense, especially with regard to publishing a magazine (???). Is this the whole “Hoover…

More evidence of it being a crazed conspiracy theory then!

...yes? That is exactly what happened?

Same at the top schools. I've never heard of someone at a top school be proud of going to Amazon - it's only something they do if they have no other options in my experience.

If your parents don't talk about it (as mine don't, presumably because they're ashamed?) I don't know if it's "nothing to be embarrassed about". What did the top 1% do? What did yo…

I see. I don't want to come off as harsh, I work at Amazon myself and know a lot of these people but didn't grow up in the peer group.

I had my first quarter life crisis at 18, when I came to grips with the fact that I had accomplished nothing in my life so far, as evidenced by my lack of good college admissions -…

Would you say the same if he was a member of ISIS but hadn’t committed any terrorist acts yet? It’s no different.

Cool subtext here. 29 days y’all.

I agree, I think 1 billion Americans is a worthwhile goal.

Yikes the Amazon numbers are really low...

I saw these during my onsite. I’m surprised they weren’t known externally...

Have you written about this in the past? This seems pretty absolute.

If this is a buffet option I don't mind possible obsolescence myself.

“Banning” ideas? The authoritarianism is getting less and less guarded.

Well, nonetheless, the amount of privilege you wield is astronomical compared to me, and it's clear that you believe you're superior to me in every way. Unfortunately, you're proba…

PHD graduate after a few years will easily make $450k. I’m sure OP does. Unlike me, he has absurd wealth. I’m lucky if I hit $200k after 3 years tenure at Amazon.

Really not helping the condescending Googler stereotype there bud. Or perhaps its OK for you to be this way as a tech "elite" that makes $450k a year.

I’m really referring to the children of Googler parents.
