Twitter is a great way to get targeted traffic, but it takes work. You need to find users that are interested and interact with them. I was able to get 5000 signups in a month for …

Dating apps are kind of like social networking sites. They both take a tremendous amount of money to get off the ground and are very difficult to monetize. Tinder was different bec…

I also care about democracy. I hope that in the future, the DNC doesn't collude with the mainstream media to destroy any real chances of a third-party in this country. Since they h…

"GPS is the automated tool that killed the Taxi." No, not really. When I travel to a new city, I always use a Taxi to get around. GPS actually helps out the taxi drivers because I …

We don't need AI to end the middle class. Services like Uber are replacing what used to be a stable job by fewer drivers with a job now done by many more drivers for peanuts. It's …

When I see these allegations, I often wonder if we are looking at it from the wrong side. Yes, someone black might be getting paid $10K/less on average. The question is, do they ha…

Becoming? Has everyone been under a rock for the last decade and a half? China and Russia hackers have been breaking into computers all over the Internet for quite some time.

Donald Trump is the answer to the question: Do we really want our politicians taking in millions of dollars for favors, colluding with the mainstream media to destroy our chances o…

This happened to me with two different friends and two different startups. Many people love the idea of a startup: getting rich, being a tech rock star, and retiring early. Most ar…

Let's be honest here. Silicon Valley only wants 'openness to immigration' because they can get cheap labor and the H1B Visa makes it very difficult for a person to move to another …

"President Trump’s recent executive order is not only potentially unconstitutional, but deeply un-American. We are a nation of immigrants, after all. In the tech world," We are a n…

Silicon Valley is losing their source of cheap labor and are now avoiding the law by going to another country. How is this any different than a company avoiding tax laws by moving …

With big companies, it's pretty common. There is probably something about your contact info or education/experience that was auto-flagged as a rejection.

I've never heard of any of these. So the mainstream media has not really picked up on them and they pretty much have no steam on Twitter. Is anyone actually following through? "The…

Holy Shit your response doesn't offer anything witty or intelligent to our discussion. With these sorts of responses, I usually don't even respond, so you should feel lucky. To be …

"you only see this behavior coming from the left because of your own bias." You don't see that these are progressive tactics because of YOUR bias. I rarely see the same tactics use…

This was just an under-handed marketing move by Lyft to destroy Uber and simultaneously virtue signal their support for immigrants through ACLU donations. More and more things like…

I feel like our society has devolved into vindictive children. Instead of allowing someone to have their own thoughts and beliefs and debating them like intelligent adults, you try…

Jeff Bezos normally doesn't really care that that much about other human beings. Why start now? Working conditions are deplorable in many Amazon warehouses and he has destroyed man…

Why wouldn't the investors like it? Companies license IP to other companies all the time. It actually is a plus for investors because they will see a faster ROI.

I've come back to a job after a round of layoffs. My company laid me off and after a month, they realized my manager had lied and actually had another job lined up as they were let…

Well, it sounds like you haven't gained the trust of the more senior developers.

"but most of my time is spent doing mundane stuff. It's important work, but it's extremely dull." I feel like you have unrealistic expectations. Unless you are in a startup with no…

He's still young. When he's bored with Facebook and is looking for a new challenge, I predict he will run for some sort of office.

I find this interesting because I just saw a story in my local news about Western Union getting flack because they were making it difficult for certain customers to send money to k…
