I want to thank Ruchi for this testimony. Like Ruchi, I feel extremely fortunate to be able to work in US. US will continue to be 'the' destination for engineers of all kind for many years to come. Right now, a sheer number of open engineer

I am ok with private businesses or individuals going about their own business with whatever racist, homophobic, sexist policies. I don't care. I simply won't visit them or pay for their service. I read my fair share of Rothbard, Friedman an

You did mention it in the last paragraph, but let's reiterate that. In the end, it is plain racism against Asians, solely for being Asian. People can continue to shroud this fact with more comforting language such as "diversity" that's poli

If this kind of practise were done against Blacks, Aboriginals, LGBT or women instead of Asians, would you still say it was ok? Instead of universities, if it were some restaurants in your neighborhood practicing policy akin to this, would

After living an extreme minimalistic life for 5 years during college (for almost a year, I didn't even have a bed), truly minimalistic living is only a fantasy that looks good when imagined. People get disillusioned about acquire material g

I did not have $10000 med bill coming my way, but I lived a very frugal life during my university days. Some of it is written here ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5371702 ). With that said, I think you could have saved money on sever

I don't really understand what op means by 'platform' The example he gave are things of different category. Angular and ember are client side web frame work. Play is not. Dart is a programming language and WebKit is a browser engine.
