Every industry requires you to change and grow. Sometimes you find an industry that allows you to grow in the direction you want to grow. Sometimes you don't, but you should. It's up to each individual to find their niche.

People who cannot process their emotions should not try to build a startup.

If what you say is true and you believe it, then surely you're for deporting all illegal immigrants who artificially deflate wages by working for less than is legal.

Your concept of who illegal immigrants are and what they do is completely fabricated by media influences whose incentives are not your own. It is false. See here: http://www.pewhispanic.org/2015/03/26/chapter-1-occupations-...

Learning discipline and the value of hard work is infinitely more important than learning things that are easily Googlable in out-dated high school curriculums.

Hey, you know that lazy generation of kids coming through college right now without any experience actually holding a job? What if, bear with me here, what if, instead of illegal immigrants from all over the world who can work for less than minimum wage (because they're already breaking the law by working here in the first place), what if instead of illegal immigrants taking those jobs, American youth actually held jobs and got experience working? Wouldn't that be nuts? Oh you probably think Americans don't want those jobs, right? They don't. At least, not for less than minimum wage, because that's illegal and nobody wants to have that on their record. But teenagers definitely want money. Everybody does.

Imagine a world where there is ZERO illegal immigration to the US. Teenagers actually might learn the value of hard work. They might go to college with a strong work ethic and marketable skills. We might just be able to dig ourselves out of this massive college debt crisis.

It isn't how hard you work. It's how much value you provide that determines your salary.

You can work really hard smacking rocks together. It provides no value to the world at large, and thus, you cannot get paid to do it.

All they need to do is have a skeptical reaction along with their other emotive reactions.

We aren't mad at the experts. We just think they're navel-gazing, self-important idiots.

Most racist post I've ever seen on Hackernews. The color of these people's skin has no bearing on their success.

We need flying autonomous vehicles to really remove the need for parking in cities.
