I think you have fallen victim to the news. Yes there are a lot of rumblings about things like the OP, but the vast majority of people pass through US customs with no issue. Even as you said. Last time I went to Mexico both my gf and I were

Agreed. #of people becomes a liability when you start losing jobs and not being able to replace them.

This is only good if the rest of the world is in a similar state to America. If we were talking about just the West and Japan, sure. "Anybody from India who wants to move here we can make it work". Great, now salaries for software

Barbarism is killing innocent people, blowing up mosques, and using men, women and children as shields because you can't fight your dumb little revolution.

He was the right person, with the right attitude, and the right amount of drive to build Uber. But instead of shifting gears into building a sustainable, welcoming, ethical business, it went into overdrive. Without a force of personality it

Ah. Well i fundamentally disagree with you as we would have a refugeee and immigration crises that would be near apocalyptic. We would not have 10x immigration. We would have hundreds of millions of people pouring in to the United States as

1. So are you in favor of unrestricted immigration? 2. Yes but that doesn't answer any questions.

> I'm 100% in favor of increasing all immigration to the USA Why? What's wrong with the current level?

Sure, care to elaborate or were you just doing a drive-by?

LOL you're right. Absolutely. I wrote that at like, 7 am as I read HN to help me wake up in the morning. That gave me a chuckle.

"Why doesn't" is the better question. We clearly can.

Uh, well it's the same advice I'd give somebody now: 1. Max out employer's 401k match. 2. Build emergency fund to 3-4 months expenses 3. Max out Roth IRA 4. Pay off low interest loans (if you have high-interest loans, which

Well it kind of is, but with power being pushed even further down to the local level, where you could actually know your leaders, you largely remove the ability of nations to wage wars, especially on any sort of global level, and people are

Only if you erode their core customer values and degrade the products. I find it easy to imagine a more streamlined business with more affordable prices in Whole Foods. Why not?

There is an option out there. It's called the desktop pc.

Perfect account for building an emergency fund. That's why I'm using it.

Nope definitely not joking. They are offering 1.20%. It's craziness. Meanwhile banks like Chase are at like .11 or something.

Yup. And if you want to do even better, go with Goldman Sachs.

Please keep in mind that mass surveillance has bipartisan support. It's a people vs the government issue, not left vs right.

Which is something that happens. People miss opportunities to invest all the time. Mayer destroyed Yahoo and raised the stock price high enough that investors were happy. Totally different. All you have to do is look at the stock price from

I see that they do this on LinkedIn. I like it because it gives me a feel for the skills required and the expectations for the role. I've seen positions that looked junior on paper, but were really quite senior once I saw the team. It&

It'll never work that way because you would also have to pay people for the value they create when they push the right button. Also, I'm pretty sure excluding negligence a company can only fire you if you do something bad or an ac

What is your process for grabbing clothes that people are throwing out? Do you just go grab it out of dumpsters?

by muninn_ 9y ago
and they probably will (in my opinion). The thing is that Ford, or GM, or whoever can buy a mostly competent company and then roll out vehicle after vehicle. Plus, the automakers understand how to build, design, and fix vehicles. Does Uber?

So what? It's something you can do from there, and they are in the area for 2 weeks.

Rent a car, drive 3 hours to Yosemite. Idk why others haven't suggested that.

It's just a suggestion. It very well could be that giving money to MIT is the best thing to do.

by muninn_ 9y ago
Interesting. Will check it out!

They should instead give that money to the schools and organizations that need it. Nothing against MIT, but most kids don't go to MIT. They have a shitload of money. Give it to a community college if you want more impact.
