I highly doubt that she’ll serve 20 years. I’d be surprised if she received even 10% of such a sentence and her time served is likely to be a good deal less.

I totally agree UBI would just be a way to transfer money to landlords. Heck you could consider SV wages as UBI; salaries are high but that income is often spent on rent or mortgages. Stock money is spent on real estate.

We think we invented startups and startup mentality but you can read about how someone like Heinz hustled and did things others didn’t; preservative free ketchup, clear pickled goods. Sounds trivial to us today but in context these ideas

Sorry but this is probably terrible. Without knowing the part datasheet this interview isn’t going to tell you much. I think it’s much better to focus on signals/systems plus some circuit level problems that focus on the basics; ope

I like this idea but it’s a bit worrying to me that this company doesn’t seem to have a nutritionist on staff. Seems to me that’s a key missing element Of an otherwise great idea.

I agree that these companies need competition but how do we achieve that? The article doesn’t really address how we create competition for these companies. Who here is will start a company that competes directly with Google or FB? Who

Management at big companies like Google is about protecting your $1M+ paycheck a year and not about innovation. You don’t rock the boat and you don’t stick your neck out. These companies are not hungry, they are simply greedy.
