We'll see what happens next, but there was way too much hype around that move (renaming the entire company!) Pivoting now would make him look completely clueless (and alienate even more e.g. talent). Besides, he would have to suggest t

it's obviously a huge help for people who can't easily fork out $200k in cash after tax for a downpayment. Which is only the majority of the population, even in the richest metros (e.g. SFBay has most families making less than $

Well, removing antibiotics, contaminants and lithium from all food and water sources across the whole world seems like a great idea that may require concerted efforts of several generations, to be very optimistic. I'm not sure who &quo

Well now this is also a practical problem. At this point, you'd have to unseat this "theocratic dictatorship" and possibly kill N thousand people in the process, otherwise they will inevitably get the nukes. That's the t

well it beats going to a frigging bar or weirding random people out in public transport, like the good ol days. But of course that's just a personal preference.

Well, the sad truth is that a lot of _interviewers_ actually suck at interviewing, so sometimes an interview devolves into a bewildering game of what this particular person wants to hear today based on their mood, especially with the open-e

France has ~9mil, Germany has ~6mil, the UK has ~6mil, all comparable. France percentage-wise is also about the same as Bulgaria or Sweden. That doesn't sound like a massive differentiator, with all these other countries hovering aroun
