Yes, it's just this simple. I don't know why more people can't understand how basic this is.

And to think that so much of the technology that makes this possible comes from the Valley itself! As a US citizen, the idea of being able to work anywhere is appealing. If your infra is everywhere, then I guess you could be anywhere too. T

I think, if it were feasible, OSM could use a really sharp CEO. I think it has incredible potential, but it needs strong leadership to determine strategy for differentiation, product positioning, and marketing. Microsoft or Facebook could m

I'm not doubting that some Chinese students cheat. Maybe it's even higher than the proportion of students in other ethnic groups who cheat. I'm simply saying that it shouldn't be framed as a problem with Chinese culture

I totally agree. My parents own a 'cabin' in a development in the mountains, and the biggest cabin in the development -by far- is owned by a a plumber. He has done very well, and I doubt he writes much, if any, code.
