And this is why you should be very careful what you tweet. Once its out there it can never be deleted. Even with a fake name and handle. Your ip address, mac address, location, etc.

The only solution is a government mandate. LAW: No American company can employ more than 5 individuals that graduated from the same university. Problem solved. Herein lies the beauty of government.

In the short term yes, but in the long term no. After a while your cognition will become accustomed to your "good desk" and what was once a fresh new desk will become just an ordinary desk. Your production will return to what is w

I grew up in Newport News, Virginia. Its one of the towns on the map that is nearly black. I can tell you first hand that many in that city still feel the aftermath of slavery. The poor illiteracy, cognition skills, financial mobility, heal

Quora needs to crack down on self-promoters. Every other answer includes a link to site for a product or a service. Its taking away from the genuine nature of real questions and answers. Now its just a place business people go to get the wo

San Diego has the same problem. Impossible to find decent housing. Studios going for +600K, 3 bedroom homes going for 1M. More and more of us are living 1-2 hours away from work just to live comfortably. Eventually this will reach a breakin

Without President Trump twitter would be useless in all honestly. It was slowly dying similar to tumblr, myspace, etc. But Trump revitalized it and made it a staple of politics. Great way to bypass the media and talk directly to the people

The author is not telling the whole story. Uber still gets their cut of each ride, the initial $115 is simply used as a hedge or insurance. If a driver doesn't make above the $349 for the week than the $115 is returned to the driver. U

Sensationalist title indeed, still interesting though. Based on the author's previous posts it seems he has a distaste for Uber. I am curious to know why views them so negatively?

This is a bad law. This will perpetuate the wage gap between men and women employees. These kind of laws will continue the "don't ask, don't tell" aura around salary information. Instead of making this information secret

Does this honestly surprise anybody? We are standing by as thousands are killed in the streets of Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, etc. Can we provide solutions to our murder problems at home, before turning attention abroad?

$1M house in Southern California isn't really saying much. Down here in San Diego: 3 bedroom, 2 baths, 1000 square feet homes going for $1M. The housing market doesn't reflect real wealth imo. Owning a house in Southern Cal is aki
