1. The risk is you've wasted your time being underpaid at a shitty organization run by people who you can't really learn anything from. 2. It's not close to competitive, YC backed companies are cash starved before they raise

Nope, the best way to learn to start your own thing is to start your own thing - I know several successful YC founders who would never join a random YC startup to be an early employee since the risk/return is so bad. A lot of YC founde

The benefit for the companies hiring is that the candidates are up for getting exploited - I'm guessing that is what the posted tweet is referring to.

Early employees have to work like crazy and get very little upside for the risk they take. It's literally the worst deal you can take, and in this economy it's just a bad idea - I imagine most of the candidates at WaaS right now a

This has been the case for decades now - Google, Booking, Expedia etc. are not something new.

Why would Indian media be anti Hindu when the almost all of the 1. Electorate, 2. Government, 3. Corporations, 4. Media houses, 5. Rich are Hindu? I'd love to hear your explanation for that one. I don't disagree with your first po

It's pretty funny to me how quickly all the comments are saying this is a conspiracy against WFH. Maybe at least entertain the thought that on aggregate people are less productive w/ WFH? IMO there are a still a ton of benefits ou

India and China are awful examples for your case, they aren't homogenous and have quotas for minorities that make affirmative action look like a joke. America is much more laissez faire about racial equality (which is a bad thing imo)

Bloomberg and Reuters for financial stories that are relevant to the markets. They have a major financial incentive to not mess it up i.e. their customers will cancel their 10,20k/yr/person subscriptions.

Sure, but clearly a lot of people are taking it. For me personally it means 25k in more discretionary spend, a lot of which I'm using to travel the world w/ my remote job. Also if this exodus continues taxes are just going to go u

The value proposition for living in those places isn't very good for high earners, if you make enough money the taxes alone are enough to live in TX, FL and get your fix of NY, CA from traveling.

Well, you are being Xenophobic but it's not thought provoking. Violent crime has been higher in the US than most third world countries my whole life, we are actually trending safer since the 80s. This is not an immigration/3rd wor

We need a new Federal agency to regulate virtual romantic partners (VRPs) - we can also use this platform to educate citizens on ideal behavior such as reducing their carbon emissions and becoming vegan. We can make individual's VRPs r

To be fair Zuckerberg has changed his messaging from "Metaverse not matter how much it costs" to "Year of Efficiency". He also has complete control of Meta so shareholders are need to take everything he says seriously.

The US government is competent but really, really slow, this nativism/anti-immigrant trend will disappear when we actually start falling behind China but that's not for several years.

Looks like there is a price - otherwise people wouldn't be moving here in droves. Also Houston being full of close minded bigots is hilarious to me, it's far more racially integrated than NYC. You seem to be the one that's a

Starting a company in India is hellish - what the h1b backlog really does is push migration to UK, Australia, UAE, Canada etc. Emigration from India is just going to go up over time - higher education in India in aggregate is awful too (IIT

No, but I also believe there is racial bias in evaluating job performance - because I've lived through it.

Yikes? That's what has definitely happened - these companies don't want EEOC complaints. The layoffs were audited to not be racially biased - which is a good thing.

My point is that both ideas are absurd and racist - you claiming that a countries' situation is because of low IQ. You do realize that if you IQ tested people in Europe 100 years ago the results would be godawful right? Believing in ge

I could argue European's have very low IQs relative to access to resources/wealth - it would be equally stupid and racist but I would have better evidence than you to back it up just by looking at how much they get outcompeted by

I disagree, spending on these things is growing at 2x GDP growth so yes more of the pie is going to this. What I'm suggesting is that at some point the pie isn't big enough for this. No matter what happens eventually standard of c

Because of demographics this is a problem we will have to confront regardless - do you think medicare/medicaid spending will become 80% of government spending?
