Chinese evil. Communist. Bad. Bad Chinese. Bad bad. Cheap products.

Japanese. exotic. mystical. Samurai. Ninja. Anime. Good. Sony. Good. Good cars. Zen. Good.

Me good. Me learn Japanese. Me exotic and mystical. Super power. Me good. Me smart. Me learned Japanse. Me great.

Me me me. Me me me. Me me me.

Did the laws of physics change or something before Sundar became CEO?

NO? Yeah. I thought so as well

Then the outcome was inevitable.

Well it's you who thinks stock price is correlated with market performance. It's a subjective take obviously as clearly illustrated by Tesla. Stock price like anything else is just a belief.

Isn't there an obvious conflict of interest here? YC Wil benefit if Google is to share its index with startups. YC will fund hundreds of companies and then one of them will end up monopoly. What kind of bs is this. Cycle repeats.

This is one of the things that make me suspect we live in a simulation or something.

Companies are legal entities. They don't even have an existence but a lot of people live just to work for random legal entity and cherish the accomplishments. They care more about the legal entity than their own life.

And the stuff in LinkedIn. Either there is mass Psychosis going or a lot of people are philosophical zombies.

It would also create a lot of new businesses. So allowing advertising at the moment has killed all those businesses.

* Access to sea routes from west and east. Easy access to ideas from around the world. Christianity and Islam came to Kerala long time back peacefully.

* No big invasions from outside India. North India constantly faced Invasion.

* Tropical weather which makes doing agriculture easy.

* Good rainfall and no need to worry about water. Many Indian states you need to worry about water accessibility.

* No shit given to anyone caste or religion for the most part except for things like marriage.

Makes sense cause everyone went to Wiz, Deel and Ramp.

You are a smart man.

Spouse is an idea in your head though. Very hard to measure. Because she used not to be a spouse before getting married right. One day she became spouse. So it's an idea. Not tangible.

In my POV it's all the same since all of them are essentially beliefs with various probabilities.

You don't know what will happen in any of the cases. You just choose to believe one more over the other based on what has happened in the past.

Humans didn't have the technology to build a decentralized currency for 3000 years. That tech was invented only 17 years back

3000 years from now what would be the store of value would be the question to ask.

Everything is a speculative asset.

Your marriage is a speculative asset that your wife doesn't cheat on you in future and actually loves you.

S&P is a speculative asset that it will perform like it has been performing in last 30 years.

USD is a speculative asset on US not going bankrupt.

Your career is speculative asset that you don't get fired tomorrow and you can find another job if you do get fired.

Bitcoin is a speculative asset that a decentralized cryptocurrency is better than relying on coins issued by bankruptable nations.

You are a speculative asset of your ego.

How do you know what your management consider of prominence and your version of prominence is the same? Do all managers even align in same definition of prominence?

Is that statistically significant though? You think prominence is correlated with inverse layoffs.

I say the market has more correlation on your layoff or promotions than your prominence.

Again prominence is completely subjective and not measurable. Maybe you can say people who don't get laid off are more prominent.

Or people who get promoted are more prominent. But you can't measure prominence in an objective way.

I was not talking specifically about OP.

I was talking about generally. Everyone runs around thinking they are of prominence and blah blah blah.

In realty nobody has time to think about someone else.

The prominence is entirely in their own head.

People just don't get it.

Promotions and layoffs are more of less random. If your company is doing bad nothing is stopping you from layoffs. If you are in Nvidia nothing is stopping your from getting your stocks go boom.

Can you explain more? What exactly did I say which was incorrect?

> Another is sadness at the loss of prominence in the company, since I have to re-orient myself on this new team, where two experts are already prominent as leaders

Nobody gives a fuck about you OP. It's all in your head. Also you work for a company. It's a legal entity which gives zero fucks to anything except its own stock price.

> I'm not willing to leave the company because its stock 6x'ed last year.

This is all the metrics that matter. Everything else is stories that you invented to have some purpose in life.

How does you arrive at a conclusion like this? Based on what metrics?

Isn't capitalism based on the idea that everyone is greedy and we should exploit that for betterment of everyone.

And socialism based on the idea that everyone is greedy and we should prevent that for betterment of everyone.

Edge of space is a meme.

What specifically is in comma.ai that makes it less technically impressive? Comma.ai looks like epic engineering to me. I haven't made any self driving cars.

Why do you think otherwise? Can you share specific details?

Just get a OnePlus 2R.

What about comma.ai?

Of course. If C goes away what you do. Code in C++ or quit programming.

Why do you sound like a bot.

It doesn't defeat the purpose. You can just make a new ban. There would be less friction since there is already an example.

Instagram and Facebook is more popular outside the US and China than TikTok.

Looks like India set the way here. Wonder what it holds for US India relations.
