I work from home, live in SF, travel often, and make more here than anywhere else and put more away even with insane prices. But I also sell software development services, so not r…

There's no innate human right to freedom of movement within other societies. Humans are individuals, individuals form into groups, and those groups when large and cohesive enough f…

I didn't say only admit people that are already running large companies, though those are welcome as well. I said "on the path to 100m in 5 years" That could be $0 through year 1-3…

I don't disagree with many of your points, but I think perhaps what is missing is perspective. Playing a bit of devil's advocate: > I think that what's lacking in the american syst…

It already is happening. So many graduates see the higher level of skill they have and the joke of a salary that adjuncts make and 'nope-ing' out into industry. Academia is going t…

An assistant professor is a full time position. An adjunct is like the contractor/part time version of an assistant professor. The result is that adjuncts typically teach at multip…

That deal has been heavily touted as a terrible deal for square for years. As such was priced into the IPO price as well as the current valuation. That is basically the only bad de…

What made you decide to purchase YouTube Red? How much YouTube content do you watch?

Right - he makes that point in the article that it went well with the Germans and Irish, but it doesn't mean it would go well with mass immigration from China, India, or the Middle…

Trying to compete with that $5 Raspberry Pi
