thinking of terminating the relationship, so i'll lose my inheritance and be forced to work, otherwise feel very lazy

Hi FarmerLiao,

Dropped out of college 3 times due to family reasons and disagreements - just find it hard to talk to them or look at them in the face. Also worried for my future because i have no degree and no particularly strong skill set / car / not a lot of money. Am thinking of looking for a telesales job in a startup while picking up programming to work with a friend on a project. But not sure how promising the startup industry is where I am from (Singapore)

Hello van wilder, agree with you that failure sucks. just dropped out of college for the 3rd time. Now I'm 27 and feel like I'm staring at a bleak future while other younger people make their mark on the world. Feel useless, impotent.

Was doing some research on Elon. Apparently he's quite the playboy too. Dumped his older wife for a pretty young actress whom he recently dumped again. Guess money really can buy a sequence of love affairs

Hello Tomasien,

Absolutely, Google, Apple products - all very clean interfaces. Btw, spoke with you 3 weeks ago on Hackernews and you told me to contact you. Couldn't find your email - so I sent you a message on your company's site. My personal email is gengyangcai@gmail.com - Let's chat sometime. Thanks a lot.

Tomasien,

Sounds promising. I am currently in the last quarter of college and working on some software ideas in Bioinformatics of my own. Depending on how things go, I might drop out and pursue this full time if I could find a way to commercialize it now. If not, I will finish my degree and return back to my country (Singapore) and continue working on it. Either way, lets keep in touch and find ways to work together - if you need extra coders and are open to doing this remotely, let me know what language you are using and I can learn it (planning to master Python at the moment). Been reading up on the founding of Google recently and my eventual goal is to find a co-founder (or two) to work together on 1 big idea like Larry and Sergei. Much easier if everyone is on the same page and location.

Cheers,

GengYang

Tommy, I think you are right that one should not be condescending. Many ideas that were originally thought to be stupid or impossible later changed the world , like the personal computer and the aeroplane. Are you working on any interesting projects currently? I would like to help.

Hello,

Funny stuff from John Cleese - The way i understand it, Compaq was competing with IBM purely on speed (the same, but faster), not dissimilar from how some folks are trying to create next-gen supercomputers nowadays. Is it possible to create a computer that beats the competition based on beauty and elegance instead (like how the Spanish soccer team plays on the world stage) ? A few months ago, I watched the Marvel Avengers Movie and in it, Iron Man Tony Stark had this little device where he flicked his fingers at a screen and this wonderful little 3d hologram of a computer popped up which he manipulated with his fingers. Anyone has any good ideas to engineer something like that ? I would love to hear and work with you on something like this - there could be other imaginative and original solutions I would guess.

Thanks a lot.
