    I'm sure Peter Roberts is a fine professional, however, I have passed border patrol/immigration personally this way dozens of times and know of many other people who do it. You can…

    Sorry, but this can't be right. Companies fly in people on B2 visas all the time to do onboarding, work on specific projects for a short period, and participate in offsites. I've d…

    I don't see why that is inconsistent. Companies doing layoffs keep hiring people, what are the news?

    You can start your own company, service or product and own 100%. In tech there's pretty much no excuse, anyone can make money online.

    It's not related to capitalism or labor organization. It's that the relationship between profits and wages is misunderstood. If you want your income to be completely tied to the bu…

    Wages are not downstream of profits - they are a price in a market for labor. If companies could pay 0 they would pay 0, and if employees could charge infinite they would charge in…

    Why are you on this website. Honestly. This is literally a website by the people you are criticizing, for the people you are criticizing.

    If a VC firm tells you to keep your funds in a bank that gets a run, and you lose access to it, that VC firm destroys its reputation forever. Please think about the payoff matrix a…
