Well, I guess I won’t be working for Coinbase then. I am probably of the rare breed, who actually likes to go to office (not everyday). I can’t imagine staying home all day everyday basically hopping zoom calls. I hope other companies use o

Not just the factory, there is both Tesla and Space X HQ in CA. And if you look at careers page for both, overwhelming number of job openings are there. In addition, Tesla has expanded like mad in Fremont and further East Bay. Including own

Where did you move in East Bay ? I live in an East Bay suburb and it is amazing. Great schools, rural, hilly, forested, great community, diverse, huge lots, and yet only 10 mins from Oakland Berkeley for all urban fun

Is that traffic safety or other safety ? I honestly go to SF all the time, and it doesn't feel unsafe at all, unless I am in TL and some parts of SOMA. Places like Marina, Crissy Field, North Beach, Valencia, Noe, Richmond, Sunset just

I have another fun story. I have a contact at LinkedIn whose name matches a famous Bollywood star. One day I get a notification from LinkedIn "You contact xxx is in the news". I enthusiastically click the link, only to find out th

How is headline reflective of what they said ? They said employees can work remotely 2-3 days a week. I mean, 1 day WFH was already the norm. It is adding another extra day to that schedule. Far cry from death to 9-5

Reddit to me feels very undervalued. As witnessed by the GameStop saga and previously through the influence of r/D_T, Reddit has tremendous influence on modern society and shapes a lot of our narratives. They should be valued way over

No amount of election security will satisfy a authoritarian populist. If you move to entire paper ballot, then the allegations will move to ballot stuffing, illegal voting, and other stuff. It’s best not to pay attention to these people

I am on this boat. I think Tier 1 cities will make a giant comeback, and office only startups in big cities will use that to differentiate and attract premium talent

Umm, the article says Tesla may not be eligible to be in the fleet. Maybe she should have bought GM calls ?

Completely tone deaf proposal in the context of 1) Recent election where every single tax measure was defeated in the ballot box, and even left measures such as anti-Prop 22 and rent control was defeated (read the room ?) 2) CA government j

I am just commenting on the data posted in the blog. Apparently, 40% of surveyed founders said that their companies will be fully remote. Only 6% will have offices in Austin and 1% in Miami. In that scenario, none of the emerging hubs will

Few takeaways from the article 1. The decline in share of Bay Area companies is almost exclusively driven by rise in New York based companies. This is not driven by any new and emerging tech hub as media would have you believe 2. The post p

How will you define that heuristic? In some sense that’s what they did. Having clean heuristic in a complicated world is impossible. For example, are Kashmiri separatists terrorists or freedom fighters ?

The whole debate has been framed in terms of free speech. Which is misleading. Because, technically, any corporation are free to impose their policies, as long as they abide by the laws of the state. The debate should be pivoted to tech con

If I have done activity that deems I am a fascist based on a corporations policy, that's totally fine. Don't see a problem with that. Unless you think ISIS should also exist on Twitter promoting their beheading video series

That was my point. Free speech is not absolute. It has limitations everywhere. I think people have conflated three problems - 1) Tech monopoly on the internet and 2) Whether free speech is absolute and 3) Does free speech apply to tech comp

Regarding #6, 99% of my assets are in US banks, real estate, and brokerage firms. Many of these banks and firms operate internationally. Do I still need to transfer to truly international banks ?
