I know two Bay Area H1Bs that were just recently offered over 180K base salary with 250k+ in RSUs over 4 years. That's roughly $250k/yr total package. The good H1Bs will get extremely high salaries and the shitty H1Bs will take a

Pretty much insane. I'm not sure if they asked this from their other candidates but if they did, they probably eliminated 99% of all the other great candidates just because they would refuse to waste a week of PTO just to deal with th

The same thing happens in all of Asia. In Japan, you have to apply with a picture on your resume, and hiring managers will ask married women if they intend to get pregnant, because they won't hire them. I'm sure it's simila

I think we should implement an all-solitary-confinement prison system. We can make the initial prison terms shorter by an order of magnitude (a few days to a few weeks, depending on the nature of the crime). This should be hard enough time

Then switch. Stop whining about it. If this is as big of a problem as the OP purports, and if people start leaving in droves, then imgur will die. This is the risk that they are taking, and they know this and so do you and the OP. So ju

"Oh no, a free web site isn't behaving the way that I want it to!" I don't know if it's just because I'm old, but people need to stop whining about how free websites are behaving. If we were paying customers,

TLDR: we didn't know what we were doing when we started, and we learned a lot along the way. Unfortunately this came at the expense of our customers.

There is no rent control on single family homes in SF, regardless of its age.

I came in to say this. "Oncle Tom" translates to "Uncle Tom" in English, and in the US it has an extremely derogatory meaning towards African Americans. It's essentially a "black man that sold out to the Whit

Yes, I absolutely agree. Ignoring never worked, it only made it more fun and challenging for me. The best way to stop a bully is to punch them in the face early on and make them think twice about considering you a target.

I'm sure almost everyone knows it's wrong, and I probably knew it was wrong too, which is why I was secretive about it in the sense that I never really got caught by teachers or my parents. If I were born hundreds of years ago, I

I was a child so I had no end goals. I hated their weakness and wanted to make them suffer. These days, whenever I feel those same feelings albeit a lot more muted, I stifle them because I know I'm the one who is wrong. If I just can&#

Ignoring me never worked. It would actually encourage and motivate me to keep going and upping my verbal attacks until I got a reaction from you. I do not suggest to anyone to just simply ignore their bully.

I've been thinking about this a lot. I'm remorseful of what I did as a kid. I was at times the ringleader that would make fun of particular kids and if I were a parent now, I would do my utmost to get me kicked out of school. I gr

Yes, but that's the point. I never picked on someone who I felt would fight back. I don't know how I developed this intuition as a kid but it was fairly accurate. The thing is if the kid fought back then I would probably have pick

As a former bully, my advice to anyone being bullied is to fight back. I wasn't someone who would physically attack people, but I would relentlessly verbally abuse them. I'm not sure about the legal consequences these days but I

1) If you don't believe in credit cards, how did you get in $6000 debt in 6 months? 2) How do you get free monthly Uber credit? 3) That's 3 very intense treatments over the course of 6 months. That doesn't leave very much ro

I'm sorry for your problems, but could you please clarify a few questions for me because there are a lot of problems with what I'm reading: 1) You claim to be 22 years old, but your dad hasn't had a relationship with your mom

I use munchery 2-3 times per week. I love it, it's restaurant quality meals at similar price point. The difference is that I don't like the subscription idea, since I want a meal to be opt-in rather that opt-out. I don't want

No. It's not $1/yr. it's $1. That's it. There is no recurring revenue stream. That's what makes this even more insane.

Do you even know why the US went off the gold standard? If gold is such a panacea, then why did the US get off it? You should really understand history before you start spouting nonsense.

Based on every single piece of study, this is categorically false. The only people that have benefited, most recently since the credit crisis, was the rich. That means that the "rising tide" barely lifts poor peoples' boats

by kjackson2012 13y ago
Your entire understanding of the credit crisis is deeply flawed. 1) Savers do not create jobs. Spenders create jobs. When you get a situation where people would rather save their money than spend it (ie. Japan) then you get deflation, and

I'm a right-wing-leaning centrist, and I do not believe in the trickle down theory that you are implying. Making rich people richer, and allowing poorer people to feed off of the morsels and crumbs leftover does not create a balanced s

So, now you can be banned by Valve because of a thought crime? Shouldn't you actually be cheating to be kicked off the network, instead of just reading up on it? What if you visit a Warcraft 3 fan site that has href to images on Sh

Can the merchants keep the currency that they get paid in and elect to convert it at their choosing, or does it get immediately converted to whatever their home currency is?

by kjackson2012 13y ago
No, that's not Square's job. They pass along all chargeback/fraud risk to the merchants. The same thing (I believe) goes for Stripe and Balanced.

Is it just me or is there an inordinate amount of failed startup post mortems in the last two months? Is this a sign that the VC market is pulling back and the startup bubble is at least deflating a bit? Another thing, I appreciate the aut

It definitely was NOT the worst of the breed. I had a couple of different pre-ipod mp3 players, including the original 32MB Rio, and the iPod was excellent. The major thing was the cool design, simple use, and their huge storage capabilit
