i don't understand a business concept that provides essentially a combination between what you get at a public library and what you get at a workplace for a fee.

they are a "salon" for techno-imperialists who think they are too good to stare at a computer at a library or starbucks

if they make money though, i guess they prove me wrong.

the financial industry and poor people who happen to live in nyc are very, very, very disparate things.

when you're the global headquarters for a globally important industries, you're in a separate world from the problems around you. which is probably best. note how the bay area housing crisis, although caused by tech firms, is pretty handily ignored by people who helped cause it.

not all politics is local.

the rest of the state (and country) is paying bonds for the high speed rail project that is essentially a silicon valley commuter train

I'm kind of sad it's come to the point where different regions of America claim they're "subsidizing" other regions populated by other Americans.

I mean, I'm sick of "subsidizing" all the black people in the US; why can't we just kick them all out? (this was sarcasm)

Of course, there is no way for me to know whether or not the time difference between the US and Moscow is significant enough to prevent HackerNews IRA shifts from happening.

I think they're lying when they say that they haven't seen a noticeable impact in usage. Plenty of people I know can see through their BS and want to delete their FB or already have.

Society probably shouldn't use social media at all. Facebook has every intent on making its use a social norm.

from a political perspective, no. if you care about actual technological accomplishments, as a technologist, peter thiel's endorsement should matter a lot.

Sampling is studied as a way to save time without running a census for every experiment. Many universities use this technique. An intro to stats course could probably be found on Coursera that will go into this.

I'll just say it, from someone who is similarly in your boat:

if you're even questioning it, there's probably something there

think about someone who is questioning their sexuality. there has to be some reason they're doing it.

i agree that there are probably varying degrees, like everything, but comeon...you're obviously very aware of the stigma. bipolar people who are highly functioning exist, and your doctors' metric is probably quality of life. if you can hold it together, it's not really life-affecting. it's just the way you are.

you could probably say you are bipolar-ish but have developed systems on your own for dealing with it.

see wikipedia page for state credit rating. all aaa states are gop led

fair enough. that is quite impressive growth. i've been listening to too many peter thiel talks.

google is supposedly worth 800 billion. hasnt paid a dividend and probably never will.

valuations are as much measurements of cult-ness as actual sustainable monetary gain. I'm suspicious of founder-led, constantly "reinvesting" companies or companies that stay private for too many years. Seems Bernie Madoff-y.
