I believe Silicon Valley is meritocratic for the most part. I don't buy the minority argument since there are many asian minority presence in the valley. If you look at music industry or sports (such as basketball), you will see many black

Not really. For me, the design of the calendar is really ugly (in terms of usability not aesthetics). I can switch to the old view. But if people don't let Google know that their design sucks, then sooner or later, Google will just shut dow

I maybe downvoted to hell for speaking against a yc company. But I am going to say it anyway because it's downright wrong. Now that their dirty practice is out in the open. What do they do? Oh, It's actually a bug in our software, and we'll

On a different note, the second Techcrunch commenter says "Reads like a high school essay. Too long. Didn't finish. Boring. Lift your game." Now this may be true or not. But this is definitely mean and doesn't add any real value to the conv

Well, you certainly don't sound very open to me. No one expects you to be experts. It's just that some Americans regard America as the central of the universe and never bother to learn about the most basic facts about "the rest of the world

Apparently, you didn't understand the essay or the meditation. Meditation is not nihilism or anti-materialism. I am not sure how i can explain it to you to make it clear to you. I remember from a Buddhist saying that if your glass is full,

It seems like you are acting like a jerk. You're a startup,why act like a big company with these kind of silly rules? It doesn't matter when he comes to work as long as he works the hours and is being productive. With this attitude, my pred
