I can't thank you enough for how much this helps me. I've become very guarded when it comes to strangers. You lay out a good strategy on how to deal with people. This would help one get acquaintances, friends, and weed out the bad

Every "woke" company in SV is going to go through this. I really want to know how "diversity' will help someone build a software company say a CRM app. How does a skin color/race help with that? If ideas of a differ

Is shoving a camera in a cop's face same as recording from a distance?

20 people are encircling your car, banging your windows, shouting and ready to break your car. Can you tell me how you would respond? Sit there and wait for them to assault you?

Do you've unedited videos of these escalations that show the complete context? You may be able to find 0.1% of the videos that show the complete context. Everything is conveniently edited to make people angry. No question that there ar

Exactly. It's mostly people who are looking for trouble that cry police brutality. There were so many instances of people shoving their camera in a cop's face and get beaten. Why would you do that? There are a lot of dumb people w

I'm an Indian. As a past H1B visa holder, I know that this happens. I've seen people being so biased that they only recruit people from the state they belong to in India. And, I've come across Americans in bay area who were s

You can ask this question about most of the for profit businesses. Apple (Foxconn), Amazon(Warehouse issues), Microsoft(ICE), just a few examples. How many of those who are against Facebook are still using Apple products or buying from Amaz

How is NYTimes different than any for-profit business? They write what they write to get eyeballs. Just because they say "news media" doesn't mean they write truth. Some journalists may be under attack because they write li

My point was to make people go do their own research and not believe what some random person writes (including me). If some one doesn't want to know the truth and here only for spicy half-truths/lies, it's up to them. Don&#x2

In this thread, people who have no clue about how H1B works are making dumb comments (both for and against) with such confidence. Before some one asks me, I was a H1B visa holder and know how the system works. It makes me think how many suc

I'm in Toronto, remotely working for a startup in US. I don't know much about the startup scene in Toronto. If you need info on startup related stuff, do get in touch with Mars - https://www.marsdd.com/ .

I was on H1B and moved to Toronto as a PR. If you want to start your own startup, move to Canada. It's a great option. Even if there are ways to start a startup in US, visa renewals/visa stamping are unnecessary stress. I don&#x27

If you don't know the details, how do you say it's not the truth? I was on H1B in US and moved to Canada as a Permanent Resident. The process to become a Permanent Resident is incredibly easy. You don't need a passport to sta

Why would anyone allow spam in a website? It's nonsensical to assume I meant that.

Read this post by the Facebook VP - https://www.facebook.com/boz/posts/10111288357877121 As much as I hate Trump, many people are salty that he won and want to put a blame on something. That's it.

Assume that Facebook is based in Alabama and 90% of its employees are conservative Christians. The employees could think its criminally negligent to allow FB posts on abortion and LGBT. You think only you're right, they think only they

There is no scandal if you read Boz's (FB's VP) post on Cambridge Analytica. Of course, very few people are going to believe it since it came from Facebook itself. It's mainstream media vs Facebook on who gets the eyeballs.

Unless something is illegal, Facebook or any website should allow the content. There will always be people who don't like a person or a viewpoint. It's a slippery slope to start moderating content that is not illegal.

This. Think of this kind of connectivity during world war II. Media would juice it to the maximum. We live in some of the best times ever. Pity most people don't see it.

Don't watch too much news/read twitter. Look at some of the studies published on how much poverty levels, violence, and child mortality rates haves reduced over the decades. We live in some of the most peaceful times. This is as g

Let me give an example. If you want to learn React, don't try to go through the whole docs or tutorial. Search for "react basics", learn what props and state are and start implementing a simple to-do or a counter right away.

"Don't listen to what people say, watch what they do". Though it can readily be applied to politicians, applies to nearly everyone you meet.

Why does the title have to say "Richest"? Just list the boroughs or areas from which people fled. Most people fled from Manhattan, etc.. Not clickbaity, right?

NYTimes will convulse if it can't pit poor vs rich in every single thing.

Trail router is very nice. I see that you're using Mapbox. May i know how much it costs you? Even a ballpark figure would be great.
