True. I'm merely reflecting upon the mindset of money. If Bill really owns a $1/2B yacht (which I don't know) then he values it the same as saving the oceans it sails on. And as to other example - Sean Parker's $250M fun

And a fraction of what a taxi company raised recently. Oh the irony of the world we live in.

It seems like Asimov was totally trolled by the English lit. guy :) Good read nonetheless. I fondly remember the days of handwritten communication. It's a shame that we still live in the world where belief systems trump facts and facts

Every decade brings a technology movement that steers the path of humanity in a certain direction. Nobody would've predicted the rise of social media (yes, including Snapchat, Instagram, Pokemon Go)and how much of the humanity gets con

Wait. You didn't know what position and location you were being interviewed for? That kind of arrogance from a company can only exist if the job seekers are desperate or perceive any job at Google as nirvana.

Can Obama really pardon Snowdon? If so, I'd think that he can be arrested again for something or the other by the next power.

Ageed. With existing Google, Tesla, Mercedes, BMW, etc. companies' technology you could have cargo hubs off the highways that are entered and exited by self driving trucks. Either human driven trucks can then load/unload those se

Thanks for sharing your experience. Bottomline - don't let any person/company judge your competence. If you've got the chops, you'll excel at what you do. So, go build it.

When you have gotten lucky with a couple of investments, you make a lot of money, when you have a lot of money, a lot of people listen to what you say, they argue with each other about what you say, this keeps them occupied and stay out of

I really don't see how Google or any other company would be so interested in hiring OP or acquiring the product based on what it does. Even in Silicon Valley there are some standards by which valuations are done. This seems like a scam

Yes, I felt the same. In many ways, I'm more interested in how the YC group is organized and how they make money.

Couldn't agree more. What people miss here is that just behaving like successful people don't make you one. There's a lot more to it than just following one or even many aspects of people like RB. So, if you are inspired by t

Seriously? Are you so delusional? So, what's bothering this guy is that Facebook wants to pay him to buy what he's built? AND he can walk away from it? Spending an hour of his life in that meeting? That really gives raises the bubble to a n

I think the points here are - 1. Phelps is at the top based on the system of measurement we've agreed upon. No need to worship him. 2. Use him to inspire yoursleves in the endeavours YOU want to undertake, and NOT to become Phelps. 3. Stop
