Yes, you got technological advancement, but resources are pretty much down to zero. You are saddled with debt up to your eyeballs. Most of you will never be able to afford a house, if you somehow manage to buy one, you will be paying it off

I think its more along the lines of you start with " a business idea" and pivot along the way to find "the right business" which works. When you start a business it puts you in an ecosystem of like-minded folks. A lot of

Nextdoor is comedy gold - from people complaining about teenagers ringing their doorbell and running away, to reporting "suspicious black males", someone asking for free lemons. It's hilarious!

Yes, they were better of earning 2.50/day, but then they got ensnared by deceptive advertising that promises a certain income. I don't expect a taxi driver with a basic education in India to figure that out. Everything about them

This has always been my opinion, you can only go so far with a strong man driven - authoritarian regime, eventually it will implode. China was very poor not too long ago, people subsisting on next to nothing. People are not questioning anyt

Theranos was a poster child for what you describe, all the engineers/lab analysts who complained were systematically gotten rid of and threatened. People who invested in or made deals with the company did zero due diligence. They are e

No more apparent than in the Bay Area. The confidence rattles you, and then you see these guys getting promoted and moving up. Charlatans all of them!

I read somewhere that you are not thinking consciously about the problem, but the unconscious is. I do it quite a but, walk away, get lunch and come back and viola! you have the solution!

Ageism is very much an issue in Silicon Valley ( they want young workers with not a lot of responsibility, make the office look like Disneyland, ply them with free food and then work them to death). I work for an AI company in Boston and we

There is no sense in renting them as well, I rent a 1.6 million dollar house for $4200/month. Of course, the owner bought it for way less, but I would rather sell, take the money and invest it elsewhere and get a better return.

This happened at my previous company when they had bad glassdoor reviews. Every new person through the door, was sort of forced to write a glassdoor review. They would be given a nice welcome, some schwag, sell them on the company. People i

Am surprised as well, its so easy to spot for those traits in an interview - apply some pressure or ask some pointed questions. I've weeded out those folk as an interviewer.My feeling is that the Bay Area has a huge tech engineer short

It's pathetic, you see some of the most depraved, narcissistic members of the tech society there. The quality of the discourse you can guess is shockingly bad, and most people are from the Bay area. Is this an accurate representation o
