Curiously, the breakdown of degrees by demographic doesn't include employment. The article seems to make the case that people should seek institutional education. Broadly, that makes sense, there are pretty traditional(ancient) precede

Maybe you are right, but what are we blaming silicon valley for? Being wrong on a venture investment? I don't really understand any of this. A well funded company was unsuccessful in a spectacular fashion, and the people who thought it

ah, gotcha, I guess my point above was that titles are abitrary as fuck. For example: Patrick Collison dropped out of MIT to be the founder and lead developer of 2 technology companies. So I guess I just have trouble figuring out what to ca

This article is both great at explaining an effective way of operating a business/client relationship & unrelated to it's title.

Definitely true. I would suspect slightly less people would see it this way, but feasibly $12.00 a year would be solid, you could have access for a full-year and not think about it and at Stripes prices it would net 11.35

I understand where you're coming from but is there a qualification for "scientist". Is Mark Zuckerberg or Patrick Collison considered computer scientists? Is Richard Branson considered a business man? Is Elizabeth Holmes a bu

I think the descriptor is fairly accurate these are Dark, but not really outright dishonest. They do a lot to funnel you in, which I think is understandable but it was tougher to get past the huge red price that did say billed today, but no

Finally. It's refreshing to see US try to drive a stake between the corporate interests and a big monolithic government. This is a country that is spying on economic allies all over the world and callaborates by horse trading secrets t

While Rand isn't the most likeable of charachters and her argument is often persented as anti-povery, on a high level contributing to society through your work is an amazing privelege. Financial contributions to society may not need a

Super cool thanks. Still can't figure out why I can't connect to HN, but no tracking beacons which is nice.

Hey dang, Thanks for getting back to me quickly yesterday and restoring my old hn name. I still seem to be unable to connect from my entire network, and I have gotten a few arbitrary upvotes, but no one has responded to any comment or submi

100% agree. That is why it has been successful. The magnitude would certainly be less if the cost was more because demand is elastic, but head to head with cabs they would dominate at the same price. It is an efficient way to manage resourc

I like ridesharing, great market offering for consumers and drivers. Using a rental agency like this is good because those cars are underutilized and that can help people without cars provide service. Initially, i was going to snarkily comp

Link is 404. Initially I was turned off by this, but maybe it makes sense. They need to save advertising for their business and ads cost users a lot of money on mobile bandwith so hopefully that will change. Slow load times and much less co

Sure, to be clear I would like basic income. My point was that it is really easy to raise capital and test it on a scale like this. While I was making a joke, the implications are real. Inflation can rise if people are all still buying thin

I think the reddit core programmers (Stallman, DHH, Linus Torvalds and Al Gore) have been itching to sink their teeth into something with more depth. StoryServer is a strong offering, but ultimately the team was worried that even though CNE
