That's the old economy definition, anyway.

His other early short story collections are on par with "The Illustrated Man". Don't miss them! I have fond memories of "The Toynbee Convector".

I wonder how many of the second generation Asian students flooding Ivy League schools come from poor, non-English speaking ethnic ghettos? I'd guess not many. All the people I knew who fit that description in college went to good high schoo

"Immigrant" here means non-English speaking immigrant, particularly Spanish in this case. China town would also be described as an "immigrant" neighborhood. But English speaking wealthy immigrants tend to blend in and not form into cohesive

I don't like to live in Spanish speaking neighborhoods because I don't speak Spanish. I enjoy the food and the low prices, I don't enjoy the culture. If you don't speak English in America, you tend to be poor and less educated, which means

Oh, I get it. He's saying he doesn't want to live in a neighborhood where the only culture on offer is hipster, homeless, or Latin. And he's not allowed to think that, at least out loud, because Latin culture is non-White and therefore holy

Haha. I hadn't realized that PC has come so far that you are no longer allowed to recognize or comment on immigrant neighborhoods. There's lots of poor people and Spanish speaking people in the mission. This is good if you like Taquerias, b

I was under the impression that the rich pay a much greater share of income tax than when their rates were higher. Can someone check me on this?

Elon Musk is a good example.

Also, it's easier to follow your values when you surround yourself with a community that believes in the same values. That's why Christians have church. Surround yourself with SV snakes, and you'll rapidly find your principles eroding.

I see you've never dealt with the government. I wouldnt be surprised if it grew a couple % each year.

>Failing to file a referral bonus form while you were an employee is really your fault. Congratulations, you're an asshole that I never want to work with.

I appreciate you doing this and I hope my employees would do the same if I were to act unethically in any future startup. There's a million sociopathic megalomaniacal assholes in Silicon Valley and that won't change unless people fight back

On the flip side, I tried (and failed) to learn to code several times before it finally stuck. It took me days just to get the programming environment set up! What finally or me over the hump was working with a partner when I went back to s

I view Zynga's economics like a tv network. Their primary asset is their audience, and acquisition is a way for them to increase that. There are two different kinds of acquisitions they can do: shows that already have a following (low risk,

There are a billion dollars worth of research money for group-think infested alarmist journals for every million dollars available from the fossil fuels industry. Your life as a climate scientist is MUCH easier if you shut up and find a hoc

another reason to avoid VCs in the seed round - those VCs will know they have leverage due to signaling issues and offer worse terms. That matters when you're selling 20%+ of your company. Angels are on your team when they have 50k in you,

Come out to SV and hustle. It's not that hard to attend a party with a VC firm. It's their job to be approachable.

Investors need to hear the BS. You should be pitching a billion-dollar idea, even if that's phase 3 of your plan. Also, NC is sadly outside the seed stage bubble. If you have traction, you may get a meeting, but then you won't need it.

Do you have any evidence I can read to refute Moldbug, or are we stopping at name-calling?

In the public sector, great power is fused with great incompetence. Must that be the case for us to be safe from great powers?

On the issue of abortion, you can't see the other side at all? At the least, you're preventing a human life from happening. That doesn't give you cause for thought and reflection? Call it what you want, but if your mother had an abortion yo

Is it possible to have a programming event with an unprofessional attitude, or is that not allowed anymore?

Bizarrely, many Americans cling to the quaint notion that murder is wrong. We have a long way to go to catch up to progressive Europe!

I go to Octoberfest events where sexy female beer servers are advertised. A lot of women seem to attend as well.

I would add that it depends on the size of the round. There's a big difference between a $50k and a $1 million angel round.
