Mid 40's here. Fed up with engineering after 20 years. Going back to school for biology and biochemistry, then medical school: State-side if possible, but international if only option. No turning back now.

Also, in my case: I was driven by self-hate to lose those 40 lbs. And now, I will never allow myself to get that big again. Never again.

Weights + Cardio in the morning before ANY food intake. Studies have shown "fasted" exercise gets rid of fat more efficiently than exercise after consuming food, even when the SAME calories were burned. I lost 40 lbs 3 years ago b

Put it all in TSLA. By some accounts, predicted to reach $3,000 per share.

I don't know exactly what you would bring to the table. What would you be able to do that others could not? I'm interested to know.

I read Musk's biography. He's an applied physicist and a software engineer. Plus he also studied business. Fantastic technical education if you ask me.

As the owner of a startup, I won't hire you to manage a group of engineers if you don't have at least the same level of technical experience. I will always test you. You can never hide from me. You are exposed.

My personal project (www.enrad.io) got me a nice job. Also, I'm still selling the units, making coin on the side.

As a native Spanish speaker (who also speaks French and Italian and can read Portuguese), let me tell you:Latin is pointless. I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you. But that's the way it is.

I'd love to give them away for free. I'll see what I can do about the price though.

It picks up transmissions from 87.5 to 107.9 MHz.

Exactly. Phones without FM capabilities can now listen to FM radio. It even works in "airplane mode", since you're not actually streaming anything from a server. And by the way, most phones have the FM chip purposely disabled

We minorities have always made top engineers. For example, here's my latest product: www.enrad.io (and no, we don't want your money.) If you really want diversity in the startup ecosystem, simply fund and hire minorities...and sto

I was in HK in 2013 for Chinese New Year. Lots of foreigners working there, especially Indians and Australians, but the local population struggled with English. I was in Singapore in 2010. Everyone there spoke fluent English.

Not common at all in Hong Kong either... except in hotels and written on restaurant menus and official documents. It's supposed to be a bilingual city... but not in practice. You want English? Go to Singapore or Malaysia.

What do you mean by "asshole"? During my first engineering job out of college, I had a crazy angry boss whom you could hear yelling at people all the way across the building. I used to dread having to meet with her (at least) once

YES! I would ABSOLUTELY take the money!!! And why should YOU do the same? Two reasons: (1) In 20 years, EVERYBODY will make fun of your religion. (And for good reason.) And finally, (2) In 20 years, you'll be rich, and you won't c
