there is no doubt that government employees can innovate. Anyone can innovate. Provided with the correct competitive structure (large market rewards, big prizes, etc). And yet, the F150 was built by capitalists, the sprayers are built with

A system that can arbitrarily take away all assets over 1 billion, will arbitrarily take assets of less than a billion. When the government has that much power, someone will come along and abuse it. Also no matter how much money the gover

you probably need to open your eyes more. Most software has been database CRUD for a long time. However there are always interesting things going on 1) robotics are amazing right now 2) self driving cars 3) satellite systems, like starlink

not good people who plan to develop long term relationships. A good recruiter can place the same person many times over the years. But not if they lie.

I strongly disagree with this. Setting them up for life is actually setting them up for failure. The great thing is every family gets to make their own choices! My parents are millionaires and they havent given me anything post undergraduat

in google you can do site:reddit.com or even site reddit.com/r/subreddit I do this to search for items on craigslist across the country. This will force a reddit search.

that sounds like me, Im probably older than you. You might realize in the grand scheme of the universe everyone is meaningless no matter the impact. After a generation or two, almost everyone is forgotten. Do what makes you happy (not alway

I created the first online texas holdem poker game (1992). I did not monetize and definitely regret it :) I have missed a lot of opportunities in my life, but that is the biggest one. The thing is monetization isn't just about making m

letting the government have total control over your life works great until someone gets in charge that does bad things. Then you get 60-80 million killed by their own government in the great leap forward.
