When I was in grad. school, I thought the idea of doing a PhD was to train for a lifetime of contributing to human knowledge. Not a lot of PhD theses end up as a contribution to human knowledge. Sure, there are the 1% that do, those people

Why are you doing a PhD in physics if you don't want to do research in physics? A PhD in physics won't "stifle" your ability to get jobs you want. The thing that will "stifle" your ability to get jobs you want

I went back and re-read the paragraph. My understanding of it was that the author opined that things like artisan foods were a sincere expression, an output from a human being who believed truly that this was something that they were doing

I don't understand your definitions of sincerity, pretentious or vain. I attempted to, by asking you a sequence of questions. They only confuse me further. My only intuition is that you think _vain_, _sincere_ or _pretentious_ are abso

Maybe these people you call your friends are not really your friends? For if something is affecting you, they should be able to be considerate of your feelings too. Just a thought.

You are trying to make fashion into something objective; it really isn't. I can line ten people in reality who can hate on your fedora. At the end of it, wear whatever you want to, I guarantee there will be people hating on it and lovi

Excellent. I love when things like this get more visibility. Now, let me go make notes on my book of all the red flags of why I should stop talking to a company. As a candidate, I understand the system is incredibly broken. Maybe one way ou

I am not sure what to make of this: 1. Sure high school graduation rates are higher in Finland than in the U.S., can you actually compare those across the board? Is what a high schooler studies in Finland the same as what they study in the

I am not sure where you are going off on the parent post. Also, I don't particularly know what you mean by "exceptional job". However, let me describe a few thoughts I had whilst there (not the submitter). 1. Mozilla's m

I fail to see how "imperialism" applies to U.S. border restrictions. I have found those annoying too (brown + permanent resident) but the word imperialism is incorrectly being applied here, I think.

You are pitching this idea amongst a group of people who hate the idea of talking to outside recruiters. To be honest, maybe your service isn't meant for startups in the Bay Area. Maybe outside there is a larger culture of talking to o
