That's really sad. Why would you even want to work in Silicon Valley if they treat people like that? There are plenty of jobs elsewhere that are less inclined to discriminate.

That recruiter you were speaking of probably meant that they were looking to hire a diverse set of people, as opposed to primarily just 65-year old white guys (which she probably believes to be the majority demographic that you'll see

Try getting a new psychiatrist if the one you currently see is ineffective. Sometimes people say you just have to find the right therapist to really see progress. Also, if you hate programming, you will always be mediocre and unenthusiastic

While I do not agree that the U.S. is worse than China, I think wil421 meant that we look worse to other countries, not necessarily that we are. There are countries outside of the U.S. that do not look favorably upon what the U.S. does

Anyone in Atlanta, Georgia? I would love to have a mentor. I stumbled upon Hacker News about a year and a half ago. I was not into programming before. One day, I got interested in programming and stories about computer hackers and so natura

I think that college is great. But also, I think it can also be somewhat dangerous to one's ability to think for oneself. There is always one and only correct answer, and there is an authority figure who knows what it is. University cu

She probably should not have gone to college in the first place if she had to take out a large amount of debt. She doesn't sound like a Gates or a Zuckerberg. They voluntarily dropped out of college because they knew there was somethin

I think that Paul Graham has great powers of observation. He seems to know what makes businesses successful and what problems in the world need to be solved. I am sure he spends a lot of time thinking and analyzing (whether consciously or u

Did you find yourself enjoying the Ivy League environment (being around other high achievers) more? Has being at an Ivy League changed your world view? Which one did you like more? I don't know if MOOCs will take off (in terms of being

Wow, that teacher to student ratio sounds seems like it would make for a great educational utopia! That's crazy and I have never heard of such a thing! :) I asked this question more so for potential-start-up research purposes. I have a

I really enjoyed reading all of the replies! Thank you all for the input. To be a little more specific, I want to know if the classes themselves were significantly more effective in transferring knowledge to students. Do the classes at Ivy

After playing MineCraft, I got interested in Java. I started reading a Java textbook. My curiosity for programming grew, and I was curious to read about all the different kinds of programmers (including the mischievous and law-breaking ones

That sounds heart-warming! Do you have a blog or something that you track your progress with? I understand that hardware is difficult because you have to keep a lot of things secret. I am pretty curious now. Do you live in the states? There

I am fresh out of college. I am working, too. My job isn't my life, it should not define who you are, but it really took a long time to realize that. 1. In the evenings and weekends, I make art and games. I eventually want to move to S

Sounds like you have a great life. I would not take it for granted. I think that you have to be careful about the start-up dream stories. They are like chocolate cake. Eating it makes you feel good, and you want to eat a lot of it, but it i

Enron's motto was "Respect, Integrity, Communication and Excellence." As we all know... it wasn't enough. Read their Code of Ethics, too. It's so ironic. Perhaps an essay about why ethics are important to the long-t

I am having a hard time following your logic. If you wanted people to pay you 6 hours a day to write code, then I am sure you could get great pay working as a programmer. I think the better question to ask is, "What problem am I solvin

Maybe the issue is that markets that don't take advantage of technology much will be slow to adopt new technology (seems like that would be the reason why they have not taken advantage of technology in the first place). Self-tracking s
