Where would a small group of people get their electricity or medicines? What if none of the small groups of people wants to develop medicines? This isn't a solution, it's just handwaving things away.

Great story and glad about the positive outcome. But also highlights the benefits of being well connected. Doubtful a couple in a similar situation that were not a professor and associate dean at a well known university could've obtain

Isn't a standard alternative, you can push a very fat man on the track and derail the trolley. All of a sudden a lot less people are willing to sacrifice the fat man.

Doesn't this logic apply to pretty much everything? Why hire external anything then? Why not do your own deliveries, hire your own trucks to transport goods etc? There is a cost to taking on things that aren't part of your core bu

I find the wording of "pro life" and "pro choice" in polls problematic and doesn't necessarily correlate with view points on roe vs wade. In particular "pro life" doesn't directly address if abortion

Your rant doesn't match reality though, although it depends on what you mean by rising up the ranks. Do you consider directors and above rising up the ranks or are you talking about the C suite only? I know plenty of director and VP le

This is an unnecessarily pessimistic take on jobs. Of course showing value still works. People advance and move up the ladder still. Besides, what do you suggest? Just give up?

If you know you have skills gaps why haven’t you tried to fill them in the 2.5 years you’ve been unemployed? If you tried to build a SaaS business in that time, even with 0 revenue you’d have both some new experience as well as something yo

Seems like part of the general pattern of “if you are not with us you are against us” attitude. Now a days it’s not enough to not be for-[some injustice], you have to be actively anti-[some injustice] and tell the world that you are. Otherw

seems like a not useful definition. If we go with this what is not from luck? Someone works hard? That's because they got lucky with the right genes and upbringing. They're smart, born to the right parents. If we go with this then

We also managed without telephones, airplanes, automobiles and a bunch of other things we take for granted in modern life. I still find them useful and want them around.

As a software engineer I find I'm much more productive in the office. Probably because a lot of my work does involve talking to other people (other engineers, PMs etc) and really understanding what the problem space is. Sure I need foc

That only works at the early stages. Later on the cost to exercise could be massive.

Taxes. If you give RSUs, the value of them might get really high in later years, along with the tax burden. And because the RSUs are liquid you can’t sell them to cover tax.

Incidentally, that pictures actually shows another difference I noticed between these and "store bought" eggs. The store bought eggs the egg white when fried tend to get bubbly, where as the "golden yolk" eggs they tend

Over here in the bay area some Japanese markets have "golden yolk" brand eggs that have deep orange colored yolks. I don't know if they're more nutritious / taste better but the texture is different. When frying the

Who gets to define what is racism and what isn't? And how broadly do we apply this logic? Racism is wrong and dangerous so we can censor. What about sexism? Ageism? Heightism? Extend this out and anything that can be potentially offens
