   Glad to hear your experience has been positive! I do wonder though if perhaps your desires are a bit different than those of second+ generation Asian-Americans. Whereas you see yourself as Chinese, and thus happy to be introduced to America

   I'm guessing you're not a minority in the US, if you think that Japan's racism is a tier higher than the US. I get that Asia can be pretty racist, but until they start imprisoning minorities disproportionately, or implementin

   I'm trying very hard to see it from the CEO's point of view but I'm failing. I mean, I wouldn't want to hire an unenthusiastic employee either, but I wouldn't have taken a prospect preferring Google over a little HR

   Considering that playing office politics is a key part of being "good on the job", I believe the sensationalized title. The top programming contest folk I knew were as socially awkward as they were brilliant. Based on my (admitted

   It made me feel sad. FOMO and all that. At the end of the day, I just didn't like who I was after using it. I'm a happier person without it.

    Somehow, I doubt Uber spends too much time worrying about morality.

    Not the point. It undermines the whole STEM promotion that the US is currently undergoing. You never hear anybody brag about how they no can read gooder, if they're an athlete, butcher, scientist, whatever.

    So it would have nothing to do with all the legal quagmires the EU is currently trying to drag (e.g.) Google through, such as News in Spain, antitrust lawsuits, right-to-be-forgotten?

    Anybody know why this might be? Is it because Microsoft has been historically friendlier to China (vs. Google) or because it's even worse than Baidu?

    I believe it. I installed Lyft last week and will be using them instead of Uber whenever possible.

    Normally I don't like jumping on bandwagons without due diligence, but there are just so many competitors that aren't being accused of being huge douches. I think I'll give Lyft a shot.

    I've signed up (as a user, not driver) for Via, Gett and Lyft. I believe drivers can do the same. As long as they don't collude and are constantly competing, it could be good for everyone. That said, I still prefer yellow cabs and

    Note to self, given the choice, work in finance rather than Amazon. They apparently treat their employees better. At least they have the decency to offer you salary while you wait out a non-compete.

    I doubt Asians have integrated into "white" society the way American Jews, Irish and Italians have. E.g., their example of interracial marriage is heavily imbalanced by gender.

    I've seen some pretty convoluted justifications as to why certain posts belong on HN. I suspect one for this post will rank among the best of them. To those swayed by its supposed evidence, I would suggest this book: http://
