Not sure about the OP, but people are now scheduling meetings earlier and later in the day in my company. Previously, I would never have 8am meetings as I would only get to the office by 930. People just knew not to schedule before then. Bu

What kinds of investments can one make to capitalize on a Biden victory? For example: * If Biden will be weak on China, do we expect Chinese tech companies to perform well and if so, how can we get exposure to that? Some China tech ETF? * B

This is such a dumb point. When Ford started, horses were the main means of transportation. Comparing that to Tesla’s beginning, which was at the peak of car manufacturing, is stupid.

It’s a very evangelical phenomenon. These “activists” are no different than religious proselytizers. Maybe this is a very American thing due to the strong historical presence of the evangelical church.

> Politics is ultimately about how we engage and collaborate with each other as a society, It is so sad that people increasingly have this view. Politics was never how “we engaged and collaborated in society”.

On one hand: > Mitchell Baker, Mozilla's top executive, was paid $2.4m in 2018, a sum I personally think of as instant inter-generational wealth It’s certainly not if you are in SV. And that number doesn’t even seem high to me, giv

Of course. Remember that Dropbox started here [0]. It inspires lots of people to apply to YC. YC founders participate in these forums. It raises everyone's value in general. HN members often are the early adopters on many YC products,

The issue is not really that they discriminate (which is bad). But the fact that they have arbitrarily made this into a Zero Sum Game. Why an organization with 30 BILLION in endowment cannot admit more than 2000 eighteen year olds baffles m

How ridiculous. FB is paying $300,000+ per year for React developers. This is an extremely valuable skill to acquire. Even better at such a young age. This kid has a bright future.

The First Amendment strongly prevents something like this in the US. There is no way the state can control a religious organization here and that’s a good thing. Americans secularism >> European “secularism”. Islamic extremism in your

Thankfully the First Amendment prevents America from doing that here. I prefer American secularism over the weird European theocratic states that you describe.

Question about E2 treaty countries. If one is an E2 treaty country citizen, and starts a company in the treaty country, how difficult would it be to create an American presence? Could you go a bit more into E2 and how it could be used by st

If that’s the case, then why not have teams draft from the region they represent? For example, maybe the Patriots should not have had a foreign Michigander as their QB for 20 years, that spot could have been given to some up and coming Bost

Is this because of a lag due to better prepared health services?

Yea but they are also afraid of loosing out on a generation of professors, post docs, academics, value generators, “job creators”. It is very risky to cut out a generation of top students because the value is not just to the local Boston ec

Not centuries; since Sykes Picot. The sexually repressive culture and extremism predates SP by centuries in fact.

by vowelless 6y ago
No. That extremism can be explained by oppressive sexual culture in general, not only polygamy (which is not as widespread as people think). You can’t even date. Many marry young for that reason.

I would like to see marriage rates by age over time. Overwhelming amount of sex happens in marriage. If people are marrying less or marrying later, then I think that will explain this trend almost completely. If marriage rates are falling,

Exactly. I’m pretty sure that people are significantly underestimating the value of his deal. It’s probably on the order of 3 or 4 times higher than the WSJ estimate.
