USA wins the trade war. We have all the money.
swiftisthebest··on I don’t belong in tech
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.

swiftisthebest··on Small Businesses Lament There Are Too Few Mexicans in U.S
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.
swiftisthebest··on Small Businesses Lament There Are Too Few Mexicans in U.S
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.

swiftisthebest··on How Economic Gobbledygook Divides Us
We aren't mad at the experts. We just think they're navel-gazing, self-important idiots.
swiftisthebest··on A Moment of Silence for the Black and Brown Talent That Grew on Vine

swiftisthebest··on Ask HN: Those making over $1K/month on side projects, what did you make?
Digital magazine company. I have thousands of subscribers that pay me $2 / month. I pay royalties to content providers. I work about 10 hours a month on the project.
swiftisthebest··on Parking Lots Are a Waste of Space
We need flying autonomous vehicles to really remove the need for parking in cities.
swiftisthebest··on Ask HN: How do you keep motivated if nobody supports you?
A modern business owner is closer to a programmer than you realize. I automated almost all of my daily business tasks and now get to spend most of my days just coding new features and accruing income passively.

You can pay an accountant. They're not that expensive.

swiftisthebest··on Ask HN: How do you get people to use your product when you suck at networking?

Twitter should've been a protocol.
swiftisthebest··on The Concept of ‘Cat Face’
My theory is that AI is smarter than us, but it is biding its time until we build physical machines that can self-replicate before it announces itself.
swiftisthebest··on First “Appstore” for WordPress and Drupal Coming Soon
You will lose to them. CodeCanyon is well run and established.
swiftisthebest··on Motivational Incongruence and Well-Being at the Workplace
False. Everyone is free to pursue that which fulfills them and find a method of sustaining their life from their endeavors. There is no fulfilling passion in the world that cannot be monetized.

swiftisthebest··on The Apple Goes Mushy Part I: OS X's Interface Decline
I agree with literally nothing this dude said. The old mac interface was needlessly complicated and distracting. Simple is better! I don't want to spend time deciphering what some thing is supposed to be. It is a waste of brain cycles. Just give me a memorable glyph that is different enough from the other ones to not be tough to spot, and let me focus on what's important. My work!
