It's not prejudice. And big surprise, you're exactly like me, just unwilling to vocalize it. The fact that people are rushing to downvote me for voicing a contrary opinion (and emboldening others to disagree and downvoting me too)

I'd find that helpful. If a lot of people have negative opinion about you, you have no place in my life, sorry. I don't want to deal with some society outsider

Not doubting the author, but I'm curious why people upvote these articles that present some X viewpoint and just back it up with "I did this because of X, therefore X is so and so" without any scientific research Again I&#x27

A lot of people think you have to watch what you say in China, and they almost always are people who have never been there. There are very specific political things you can't do, but otherwise literally not one gives a shit about you.

I've never heard of him, and probably so haven't a lot of people on Twitter. I don't see why we should give him authority

The stock market has risen for the past century. I think history doesn't agree with your statement.

It is a bubble. In fact I'd venture so far as to say it's a Ponzi scheme. But in any successful Ponzi scheme, the early investors actually get a huge payout. I don't regret investing in it one bit.

Have you tried changing jobs? There’s a huge variety of companies out there and some of them do really amazing things and have competent leaders. I used to think every company is the same deadend desk job until I hit an amazing one - let’s

I worked in India and see Chinese products everywhere. You're right that people will openly dislike them, but most of them don't even know things they're using are Chinese. Like Oppo, Xiaomi phones are basically everywhere. B

Ah yes you're correct. 9% is the marginal tax bracket

Nope definitely not fishy. I'm 2 years out of college and $180k salary + 250k RSU. SF is expensive these days. And also remember California grabs 9% of your income so it goes down by a lot

Yes your responsibility includes putting out water cups for voters at local polls. Your title is more of "hey dude" rather than "Your honor"

The solution here is not technical - we already know the technical solution. The solution is to introduce a cost to the risk. Right now the "risk" has no cost - if you expose people's data there's not that much consequen

Ya no fan of totalitarian policy, but if you try to skirt immigration laws anywhere, it won't work out well for you. Here in the U.S., I have to notify ICE everytime I change my address.], or I would be deported. Never had the courage

I don't believe in Tesla's long term business, but you have to be either a naive fool or insanely rich to short Tesla. As Warren Buffett once said, the market can be delusional a lot longer than you can be liquid. You can be right

You can discriminate by gender for car insurance. From DMV: "Why Women Pay Less for Car Insurance The statistics tend to show that as a group, women are less likely to: Get into a car accident." https://www.dmv.org&#x2F

Why? You can set difference prices for age, gender, and profession when it comes to insurance products because different demographics have different risk. What's so different about race?
