You know what I find really ironic? The successes of startups in Silicon Valley really drove up the compensation of programmers. But these same startups have founders/managers who openly state they prefer younger programmers, and direc

I sometimes wondered why Chinese government is SO wickedly scared of any mention/signaling of the Tiananmen Square protests/massacre. Reading the diplomatic cable by the British ambassador, it makes sense to me now.

Now THAT is racist attitude against asian-americans (well the stereo typical asian). So how about kids from single parent family or poor neighborhoods who cannot eat out and/or cannot travel because of lack of money? Are they less roun

Exactly. And who gets to decide how oppressed you are? Maybe you grew up in a poor neighborhood but have incredibly supportive parents/family? Maybe you grew up in a billionaire family but with parents who are never around because they

I find it ironic that the upper echelons of startups reject: racism sexism any other discriminations But something else was brought in to replace them all. And it's called culture-fitism and ageism.

At this point, I feel most employees of a business that's up for sale should just put their foot down and say no to selling the company to any private equity firm. The owner can say, hey I worked for this and I need to exit with a plan
