You're not the only one. I know so many people who are forced to use Box at notable tech companies in SF and absolutely hated it compared to using Dropbox.

One of my ex-coworkers didn't like working at a specific startup and didn't think they'd be profitable, so he ended up moving to another. However, had he remained with that startup for a few more years, he would've made

I didn't realize soccer players were so much shorter than a lot of North American athletes in hockey, basketball, American football, and baseball. For example, the average height of Brazil's team is 181.7 cm or 5 foot 10, whereas

I like the fact that the logo is aggressive given the startup scene is very much so. So many startup logos are cutesy and playful.

I'm curious, are there growing initiatives to make every career gender/race balanced? Because it seems like we're fixated on getting female representation in computer/mathematical occupations from 26.1% to 50%. Yet there

I had U-Verse in SF. Wildy inconsistent. Had to get a lineman multiple times, before finally one of them literally suggested for me to switch over to Xfinity.

Even finding a cab in NYC is a pain in the ass. If you're in Manhattan, cab drivers can deliberately discriminate against you if you want to travel to Brooklyn or Queens. The number of times I've had it happen to me makes me have

I noticed this with the NHL. Players are way more fit resulting in a faster game with more brutal body-checking. That compounded with improved protective equipment has allowed players to have a lot less regard for others safety.

I've been an Alfred user for the last few years. Recently, I started using my old PC with Windows XP to play a few older games. Goodness, using the Start Button again feels so clunky, slow, and inefficient. I can't imagine why so

As a dude with a physical disability, using a car is a godsend. While living in cities like SF/NY, taking mass transit was a nightmare for me. Escalators were often not working. Elevators were either out of order, disgusting, or just p

Considering that Asians are also under-represented in popular media (movies, TV, western music), athletics (NHL/NFL/NBA/MLB), politics outside of San Francisco/NY, you have to figure that Asians had to go somewhere, i.e.
