Chai or tea

A friend of mine worked at a public airline and whenever they had a bad quarter, things like coffee would get cut so people would feel it. But those types of industries operate on …

This would be the most awesome troll of SV startups. Own the directory of help for all SV tech companies and create an AdSense for that.

A private equity firm's incentives are almost always not aligned with what's best for the customer of the company and its people. I've witnessed a P/E firm gut a pretty big firm, s…

I was an engineer as well early in my career. As an entrepreneur now, I've been doing sales for the last 8 years. I've never been formally in any sales role prior to running my own…

We must be around the same age. It was the same for me. I must have played all 3 houses so many times. I loved being able to control the units.

That is factually incorrect. In fact Bangkok has two Apple stores now: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/07/apple-central-world-o...

I agree, but I should not be surprised if they terminated me because of it.

I own a small dev shop and I thought this was a great idea for recruiting. No need for cynicism.

doing really really well :)

I agree. If your goals are to make money on your side project, you'll have to invest time into sales, bd, or the marketing aspects of these projects rather than purely the technica…

I had a serious side hobby which was performance art related. I took gigs when and if they came. If that was my full-time job like most aspiring artists, I would have been a starvi…

Started on my consulting firm around 5 years ago - quite organically. (I was a freelancer taking on more work than I could handle so I hired help). Now we have around 40 people, a …

And that's the issue. Immigrants gladly do the work that Americans won't do.

I would love this

At different points of my life I spoke Thai, Malay, Italian, French and a teeny bit of Mandarin. I would say the ones I became extremely fluent with were the result of total immers…

Yeah a better comeback would have been something like "yeah, after you give this land back to the natives". I don't know how to handle these types of people.

You could substitute "Pokemon Go" with "Clash of Clans", "WarCraft", "Angry Birds" or any popular game where the money flows back to the company rather than the local economy.
