It's irrelevant whether the stock was bought directly from Zynga or otherwise. It's the same stock and gives you the same rights. However, unless you have a sizable percentage of the shares, management won't give a damn about what you think

> The US isn't the only place to start something, try Berlin and say goodbye to any visa problems. Really? AFAIK anyone who's not an EU citizen still needs to get a visa before moving there. And most companies won't hire someone who doe

I'm very skeptical of the validity of this study. The graph shows no riots at all between 2008 and 2012. E.g. there are no data points in the graph for the riots related to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons. They resulted in more than 1

I'm midway through this book and I'm fairly disappointed with it. It's not a bad book, bu much of the advice in it is common sense. And the parts that aren't common sense aren't very convincing (silly metaphors etc). Some of these 3-star re

I'm not sure if it makes sense to call them "fringe". Orkut is mainstream in Brazil (though Facebook is about as popular now), just as Facebook in the US and Mixi in Japan. Also note that Brazil has a large number of internet users, around

I'd go even further: even the astrology question is not a good indicator of stupidity or compatibility. There are lots of otherwise smart people who believe in "stupid" things. For example, in Japan many people believe that your blood type

Short answer: the "hack" is to set a monthly budget and stick to it religiously. In theory, if your savings account pays 2% and your loans charge 10%, you should put all your money into paying your debt. On the other hand, unless you have a

I scrolled down looking for a link to launched website... > I din’t mention what I launched, on purposed. You can guess which of my project’s launch is described here. Good luck guessing that, is not so hard though. Meh.

Some of your social superiors: your parents and older relatives, your SO's parents, your (company's) clients, a famous writer/athlete/musician you admire, the president of your country. You probably don't treat them as equals, unless you

> I seriously do not understand why people come/stay here given the way they are treated by our government. You must be masochists. The immigration thing definitely sucks, but other things probably make up for it. You're probably undere
