"We are Charlie"

Your EQ is low, isn't it?

This is the funniest thing I've read in WEEKS. Thank you.

Money doesn't buy taste, clearly.

There's honestly a very simple recipe to combat about 85% of depression. The other 15% does require SSRI / therapy / etc.

- Clean up your sleep. - Clean up your diet. - Exercise, at full intensity, for 8-15 minutes a day. Weight training mixed in as well. - Get sunlight or supplement with Vitamin D.

Oh, and have great friends. That helps.

Agree 100% - try getting away from CANOLA oil... nearly impossible.

You may disagree with the use of "Paleo" nomenclature, but the pillars of the diet are sound - and a 1,000% improvement on the USDA food pyramid.

Don't know why you're being downvoted.

I experienced the same results on strict Paleo. Strict as in, absolutely cooking everything myself in Coconut Oil - that strict.

I experienced a back injury and got off Predisone and Percocet within a month -- I owe largely to the inflammation reducing effects of the Paleo diet.

Unfortunately, these things just don't have a cool factor. Here's to hoping Tesla moves forward much more quickly (and regular car manufacturers as well.)

It's something Google probably just doesn't "get" - but a lot of people's identities are tied to their cars. It's why we have colors, shapes, brands, options.

This car may be "perfect" algorithmically, but it doesn't mean it stirs the soul.

Sorry if I come across as rude but the original submission "made it" to the frontage as is.

HN needs to stop doing this kind of thing, particularly when the (admittedly ancient infrastructure) doesn't add an "edited" declaration, etc.

Great, now all the comments lost context. This is asinine. Don't modify the submissions, or titles.

Correct, like a better more niche discoverorg

It definitely is. Huge testing facilities, radio testing, durability, temperature cycling.

All done by Apple in the US.

Except Apple products are developed, designed, coded, tested, etc - all in the United States.

He gave away a ton of money, and so did (and does) his wife.

He just didn't make a big deal about it.

I can't name names. I can tell you one was the kind of company you're probably thinking about, and the other was a publicly-traded (now) supply chain company.

I hate to say this, but in your position I'd suggest you collude with your employer to fake a degree.

I won't say it's trivially easy, but with determination it can be done.

Apologies I threw that in there, I agree with you -- as much as I believe it hurts those groups to do such a thing.

Agreed -- absolutely indentured servitude.

Oh and don't get me started on the terrible "conditions" - relative to the tech-bro startups in SF - where H1Bs are expected to stay insane hours and work weekends.

"Why, you're blessed to be here aren't you!?"

Look HNers, let's be honest with each other.

There's a lot of H1B's on here. You have friends overseas who you want to see succeed in the Bay Area.

In my experience at many tech companies in the Bay Area, H1B Visas exist for one reason, and one reason only - to get skilled engineering/STEM labor -- and to exploit connections (primarily Indian/Pakistani) among these workers to continue to get cheap labor.

It absolutely, positively hurts local labor - naturalized citizens - etc. Without a doubt.

This is not a Xenophobic reaction, it's simply reality.

I've worked at multiple companies (managed their websites) -- where we would temporarily post a job description to appear that it was a fair playing field for local workers -- when in reality that position was definitely, absolutely going to be filled by a cheaper, exploitable H1B visa position.

It happens all-the-fucking-time.

There's standard, normalized ways immigrants have come to the US for a long time now. There's absolutely no talent shortage in the Bay Area, provided you can pay (and your ideas are interesting)

We also don't need any more of the divisive ethic-neuveau-ghettos we're seeing in the south bay, cupertino and east bay with communities insulating themselves rather than assimilating.
