Yeah, the fact that political views are an issue for this CEO is a sign that I'd never want to work with this CEO.

People like to complain even when they create their own problems.

Exactly. I've been told I don't look like an engineer but it doesn't matter because I'm a man.

Exactly. The new entrant into a market isn't the one who can afford to get into the lobbying game.

There's a such thing as regulatory capture.

The real question to ask in this case is whether those regulations should be there in the first place.

That post still makes me cringe.

> People of colour

Are Asians not POC?

I didn't literally mean everyone. I meant the overwhelming majority of people.

Meanwhile in the real world everyone, including women, addresses a group of people as 'guys' - even a group that's entirely women. I'm not saying this is right or wrong but saying it's an aggression against women is a bit much.

That's just not true. I've seen women online, women I know irl, who have said things along the lines of, "If you see a woman alone in a coffee shop, don't talk to her." Meanwhile, the same girls will complain about how men never talk to them. I see this more and more often within the latest wave of feminism.

I see women on Twitter complaining about "creeps" all the time even when they aren't doing anything I'd consider creepy.

They don't want to come across as a creep.

The first thing I thought when I read this one, "Someone is going to rip sama apart on Twitter for his binary mindset."

Oops. I accidentally typed is instead of isn't.

Exactly. The government is going to be receptive to an activist asking them to stop bulk data collection and mass surveillance because they're trying to change from within.

Do you have any friends who smoke weed? Ask them and I'm sure you'll be able to find it.

It's truly amazing how powerfully people can be conditioned by the government and law.

I do the same to protest stupid laws.

I've never been asked to negotiate my salary. But I have been contacted about a position while I had a job. They kept pressing for me to leave and join them. Once they gave me an offer, I said it wasn't enough to leave so I negotiated a higher one.

Unfortunately this is what's considered "equality" today.

But wouldn't "reasonable" comments trigger an "oh crap this person is like me" alarm?

Maybe it's just me but I see a lot more liberal leaning comments on here than I do libertarian.

You don't understand the parent's comment. Check my other comment.

I'm in America right now. Eastern coast.

Prices would adjust and everyone's purchasing power would revert back to what it was before the increase. Your standard of living would be the same while your paycheck has more digits.

> We have more people asking us to build tools than we could ever build

What are a few examples?

Serious question: do they count government money as VC money? Haven't they received a considerable amount of money through NASA?

Any relocation options?

> We have achieved a level of social equality barely imagined by progressives 50 years ago, but economic equality has gotten much worse.

The is essentially the main point of the op-ed. I wish everyone could read PG's How to Make Wealth. http://www.paulgraham.com/wealth.html
