That's only 3 people and they have all come up as entertainers first. Why entertainers first? I agree that hip hop is packed with sophistication and cultural consciousness, but hordes of young wealthy teens listen to rap music almost e

I'm sorry, I had thought you meant based on pieces and videos before you had even heard of this. That was how I read the last response and I suppose is why I am now defending them personally now, as opposed to their actions (which I st

You just called a group of human beings poisonous based on stuff you've "read and heard". Think about that. Poison kills people. You've never interacted with them personally, yet you are already calling them toxic. So pr

Are Google's terms a moral imperative? Does observation of Google's terms define who you are as a person? Are rules created by a corporation means to determine whether doing something is right or wrong? Google can do what they wan

Seems toxic to lay such claims without getting to know someone personally. Have they done you wrong? Perhaps you are uninterested in rap music, perhaps you believe in staunch professionalism, but at least have respect for an individual&#x27

I totally agree that it's up to Google to deal with it how they deem fit. There is nothing wrong with a private company altering how they list things. I originally asked because he seemed to be personally offended that they may have ga

I appreciate that. I guess personally I just don't know whether or not a system like this can ever truly be fair, especially when controlled by a corporate entity. Not that it's bad or wrong or that a corporate entity controls it,

If you don't mind me asking, why is this such a big deal to you that you would stop going to Rap Genius? As a music lover myself, I consistently go back to Rap Genius because I know they have the most interesting content. I don't

That's just what we call the loan where I'm from. It's the loan I took out to pay for my 4 year undergraduate university education in it's entirety. Is that better?

How long have you lived in New York?

by zmitri 13y ago
Yep. For less than that amount I had a floor of a brownstone in Brooklyn, 20-30 minute commute via subway, paid off 10 year student loans in < 1 year, took my entire family on a vacation, and went out to dinner at a variety of nice resta

I worked in finance and made less than that in salary. It's enough for a luxurious existence in NYC provided you don't have children. I'm not sure whether or not they have children, but that's a lot.

I have a question: Why would the founders take such high salaries? Seems to go against everything I would think was important for a company that is venture-backed.

The same thing can be said for comments like yours. He actually does a pretty great job in this article in my opinion: Strong narrative, uses facts + common knowledge and personal insight to build a strong point. He is informing people on a

I'm sure they could, but it's not really relevant. It's more about the 2-3 Dropbox, AirBnB, Heroku like companies. Think of it this way with Heroku: YC gets 6-7% initially and probably ends up with close to 3% after Series A

I owned my own company throughout university so I just got letters of reference from customers (aka my friends) that vouched for the work I did. Remember, rules are made to be.. um fitted to your needs.

Fairly easy if your job description fits into one of the 13 designated jobs and you are from North America. Computer Systems Analyst and Graphic Designer are two that can work for startups - but whatever you do, do not include "program

The H3 visa is a visa granted to "temporary trainees" for a government approved trainee program. You are expected to return back to your home country after it is finished and the program can be no more than 2 years. However you ca

The reason is that J-1s are very easy to obtain if you have a willing sponsor. There are companies that are setup to grant J-1s as a business. You can easily do everything without a lawyer too. I paid for my initial 4 month work-travel visa

I did the J-1 trainee program for 18 months and went into an H1B from that. It was ideal for me because I came right out of school without work experience and it made the process very easy. One downside was that I had to stay in the US betw

Agree with you. I'm actually unclear what exactly this is a decision tree for because its steps are so subjective. Definitely isn't the decision tree from first contact to investment - that would be much deeper. It would also have

You could argue the same thing about twitter. Most twitter users don't tweet, they just follow. Getting the big users on board and figuring out they everyday people don't need to tweet was one of the big epiphanies. If you look at
