What makes you say he doesn't know what it's like to be a tiger cub, and what more would you say there is to the story?

And wouldn't it have been nice if he could have saved himself a decade of the pain that is medical school, residency, and practice, by leaping into the tech industry earlier? It would be one thing if he had been making all his own choices,

Wow, that was a really uptight article. When you make it easier to take photos, you'll get more shitty photos. There's nothing to be nostalgic about. I could flip his complaint on its head--old timey photos, due to the scarcity of film, wer

If you wear T-shirts, that's a sign that you think the game is too crappy to be even worth noticing. That's why it's rebellious. Wearing a nicer suit might show up your boss, sure, but you're still playing the status game.

I clicked around on seven lines or so, and got "0 out of 0 vehicles delayed, are you sure this line is even running?" several times.

Patrick is talking about his life as a Japanese salaryman, where 12 (14?) hour workdays are the daily norm at his company, and, if I recall correctly, there are no weekends. He is not talking about Bingo Card Creator.

So, given the number of times a post from Quora has made the front page now--have any doubters changed their mind about Quora's value?

Is _Good Calories, Bad Calories_ not worth reading? I've started it and I'd be glad to stop reading if he's that wrong.

Hm, good point. Kind of a shame that I got so many more upvotes than you. The OP's point about carrots being as good as junk food is still bullshit, though.

Carrots don't cause the same insulin spike that candy bars do. Refined and processed sugars hit your bloodstream much more quickly than unprocessed foods. Carrots also don't taste as good as a chocolate bar, so it would still be an epic sac

They haven't always been in a crisis mode. They've never linked to primary sources. Even if you take the print edition of a newspaper before the Internet, you'll never see instructions at the end of an story on how to obtain the full writ

That was really uncharitable towards small businesses. The article makes a false dichotomy between wanting your freedom and helping other people. Surely my ability to do the latter is maximized once I'm free of the need to go to a soul-suck

I agree. Another poster wrote that assembler was actually straightforward--just very tedious. That would have been a great way for Jacques to make his achievements seem more possible.

Oh, come ON. You wrote this essay specifically to be encouraging. Somebody responded saying they felt discouraged. You failed, and you're getting feedback. You have something to fix if you want to encourage people. Stop being so defensive.

Just because it was Facebook doesn't mean the initial code was very good. Twitter's suffering a lot of technical debt from some bad initial decisions in the codebase.

Ambition is a personality trait, just like laziness and motivation. Your definition of the word is hella nonstandard. You can have internal ambition without there being a noticeable external effect, due to things like lack of opportunity, p

The author does have ambition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Ventura He's a successful author and columnist. Hopefully, this now gives him the right to say a lot of low-paying jobs are shitty ones that barely treat you as a human b

I don't know about point 1. My parents paid me for good grades, and my attitude towards learning is a little warped now, to say the least. (They were also Tiger Parents, though. Motivation is a tricky thing to get right.) For point 2, defin

No. You can go on Quora and ask how much it cost AOL to send out all those free trial CDs in the 90s, and the former freaking CEO of AOL himself gets on and answers. http://www.quora.com/How-much-did-it-cost-AOL-to-distribute-... The mods

The nice thing about being a multibillion dollar company is that you can run private shuttles and allow your employees to isolate themselves from the masses.

Some of them, yes. The only Asian guys I find attractive, platonically or romantically, are ones who tend to be more extroverted or seem more relaxed about life.

I don't hate Asian values because I wish I were whiter. I have a problem with my parents giving me extra math problems to do that were way beyond my grade level, and then telling me they were surprised that they'd never seen any girl where

So if you add in the time it took to find your Core Peer Group who could make all that happen in four weeks, how long did it really take you?
