Here comes the down vote brigade.

Seriously, tell me why the most privileged people in the bay area need this service.

LOL yes, the poor poor kids and parents in PALO ALTO really could benefit from this!!!

Please go on about this. Seriously.

It's a national security issue.

Hacker news commenter with a lot of karma...

You know the same thing happens here, right?

Not everyone can down vote, flag, etc.

Irony isn't lost on me.

Here's what I've noticed.

There's no correlation.

It doesn't mean anything. It's a position taken out of fear.

At this point, if you've graduated from top ten universities I will ignore your resume, because you won't have the hunger I want from an employee, nor where you have great creative thinking.

Ones that get to market, like those from Mercedes, VW, Tesla.

Google's car tech, and software, will never be adopted by an auto manufacturer. And Google will never sell cars.

Some choice quotes:

"So even for a mid-level or lower-level engineer, they'll tell us, "I only want someone who went to Stanford," or someone who has started a company before."

"And most companies in Silicon Valley say, "We hire from these five schools, period," right?"

"If you go to those five schools, the percentage of minorities and the percentage of women is X and Y. Let's say it's 3% and 10%. If those companies hire only 10% of the people they interview, then the number [of minority hires] you get is zero. Right? It's zero."

Absolutely revolting.

"I have a slightly different view. In the report that Google published, they said they've spent roughly $40 million on diversity efforts over the past 10 years.

They've spent, I'll guess, several hundreds of millions of dollars in the past two years on self-driving cars. If companies like Google truly wanted to solve this problem, they'd spend more than $40 million over 10 years and make a much more significant effort.

So my conclusion is that right now we actually don't want to solve it."

Stunningly frank observation, dumping money into a project that will never see the light of day. Ah, Google.

It's why New York Pizza is so good, it's the minerals in the water.

Also -- the IRS debt comes from not paying taxes over those 4 years, because the only way you survive in the Bay Area making that kind of money is to not pay your taxes.

Correct.

Okay?
