only when the tide turns, you get to see who was swimming naked.
luck plays an important part, but not everyone realizes it or admits it.
he is not the best. i am very impressed by how little his thinking and writing have improved over the years.
there is always a flavor of lecturing in his words. sometimes, it makes me wonder if i am just too stupid to understand his answers to all matters.
these days i could not finish reading his writings. his twitter feels like a talkative kid who hasn't learned self control. i have unfollowed him long ago.
he may want to be different. but how is he different? really.
this smells like bullshit
it is annoying. as a reader, who cares about the last time someone else commented.
whatever, i found reddit better.
unhealthy diet, drug addiction, wealth disparity.
this shitty move would be neutralized if you own Google stock.
can you add emergency use to the title!
how did this get to top 10?
move them to Amazon. before Amazon discontinues unlimited storage, download everything to a portable storage.
at the end of the day, you will realize that only yourself can be trusted.
that is not going to happen in the US.
this is the Google curse. every company will become like Google only if they can.
every of them. the only exception is Wikipedia and i donate monthly.
I remember how good Google was in the early days. most of the “alternatives” could become much worse when they reach 1/100 of Google scale.
I can’t trust “alternatives”.
freedom is not a trademark of the West. the world one hundred years from now could be very different.
i stopped reading medium because of large amounts of click bait.
I never got into this situation, but heard people got options but they became underwater after IPO (e.g. Dropbox). There are several hot startups that had a lot of hype, but turned out just so so. I work for a VC funded startup now, but I feel there have been huge dilution, so I started asking if it is worth it. There is poor work life balance and liquidity risk. At the end, if a company goes IPO, I don't expect to make too much money. Why not get a job at a big company and enjoy life.
Same experience with tiny startups. Worked like crazy and earned pennies.

I worked for a few. Had a good run in one of them, but luck played a big part. Among the rest, hard work didn't really pay off. What is your experience?
Reading this for a year and posts have become less interesting.
Remove the caps. Let us change job easily. Give green cardright away. Make immigration suck less.
