Wow. Totally wrong lesson learned. Go refresh yourself to some hardcore problems and then replay your situation again. A more standard response may be: “oh that was me. Your car is better than mine. Sometimes you know, a compliment is j

If your son is talking like that, it’s a strong signal you haven’t properly put things in perspective for him. The world has always been horrible in one way or another. Go ahead. Pick a time. This is a 100% attitude and filtering issue.

I am a manager, but when I was an IC, I held your view. I learned that giving even softened feedback resulted in being at best ignored for a week, at worst, becoming a marked man. I resolved to change this for my team. Ask for feedback br

Agreed. An agreed upon salary yields agreed upon effort. If 95% of my income is salary, don’t expect the same motivation out of me as the CEO.

It’s more related to poverty adjacent to wealth. If everyone is poor, nobody feels poor. If poor people are next to rich people, you often get crime and eventually violence. Honduras is a good example. It was once poor and relatively pea

My solution was to buy a wok burner. Available online or at Asian restaurant supply stores, they come in propane and natural gas models. My particular one is rated at 130k BTUs. I never take it that high though. There also exist inductio

It’s not debatable. Those who attract the best students will be considered top, of course provided they have the resources to give the students. What’s legacy admissions got to do with it? If 30% of students are legacy and 60% are the bes

Based on what? Have you ever been to MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, UIUC, CMU? It really sounds like haven’t. Go study CS for a semester at one of those places. What evidence are you looking for? How would you even quantify “great”? Just go t

They are. I have been to top and non-top. The difference was massive. We’re there great students at the non-top? Absolutely. At the top one though, every other student was just hard core. It was incredibly competitive and the talent wa

How is this a surprise to anyone? Wouldn’t you be more surprised if this weren’t the case? Imagine rich students not realizing they didn’t have to work 20 hrs/week. These are all life choices. I’ve seen many un-optimal college decis

Funny how this doesn’t apply to immigrants. Being lower, middle, upper class is mostly a mindset that dictates your tolerance for risk. Immigrants of the same income level as US born have a far higher tolerance.

Nah, Brian seemingly put his name on it and outsourced the writing to Kevin Anderson. From the quality of story, it looks like he outsourced it to the highest bidder. According to his bio notes, Brian is an “acclaimed author” in his own ri

This can change from quarter to quarter. There are companies like Cisco which pay bonuses sometimes exceeding 100% of salary to top employees. This way they’re not stuck paying that if the employee loses motivation. There are some downsid

Suicide is not necessarily a sign life is worse. It can also be a sign suicide is perceived as “normal”. Look at the occurrences of suicides on the Golden Gate Bridge. When newspapers talked about it, it spiked. They made a pact not to t
