The Wolf of YC Street.

I remember reading a thread on Reddit[1] where someone argued that Google stocks will go down coz no one uses search engine but the person was overwhelmed by investors who still believed in Google

Yes, many a times.

Just an essay in ego-bashing and showing off. While I don’t deny the author is self-made, highly successful for his age and ultra-rich, this essay is just an attempt to stroke his ego.

It’s evident in the paragraph below where he said he’s leaving DOGE to “save our government”. The writer lacks clarity and coherence of thought. How exactly is he saving the government after his DOGE stint?

>So, after 4 intense and intoxicating weeks, I called off my plans to move to DC and embark on a journey to save our government with some of the smartest people I’ve ever met. And I booked a 1-way ticket to Hawaii.

Studying physics in the jungle, focusing on my insecurities

So now I’m in Hawaii. I’m learning physics. Why? The reason I tell myself is to build up my first principles foundation so I can start a company that manufactures real world things. It seems plausible, but I’m learning to just accept that I am happy learning physics. That’s the goal in and of itself.

Glad you mention this.

Last year, we had 2 consultants hired from some Big 4 consultancy. The manager told us to give them whatever info they need. They came with us on a grand total of 2 calls. The scheduled 3rd call we could not attend coz of overlapping schedules. They never bothered blocking my calendar and I never heard from them again.

I reckon the manager wanted to use them for some political purposes.

I heard the same about McKinsey

How is the work culture overall? I am of the opinion they are ruthless and will cull you if they think you are underperforming.

This is groundbreaking

The Register is one of the few websites on the internet which makes tech articles worth reading. They make the reader realize the significance of tech, who might otherwise pass it off as nuances which only nerds should be aware of.

You failed to take into account US allies like Japan, Phillipines, South Korea and India which are more than ready to help us bring down PLA.

I totally disagree with the last paragraph. Shedding blood != waging war. China has never dared until now, and will never dare in the future, to engage in a heads-on conflict against the USA. It has skirmishes and conflicts with almost every neighbour. The PRC defence forces do not have the worldwide fighting experience which the US has. Nuclear deterrence acts strongly against the PRC, and they won’t do anything stupid against Taiwan as long as US Navy is positioned in their backyard.

Good point. Probably the Americans have dissuaded them from building a nuclear warhead in exchange for guaranteed protection?

I wonder what happens to the engineer who deployed this patch.

We have a major incident wherein our firewall was totally down last month. The director at the end suggested that we need to have RS232 cable for out of band communication for such eventualities in the future.

Makes one realize the reliability of RS232 in today’s day and age.

Hi, are you testing if you get a response? This ain’t bumble.

It’s raining cats and dogs :P

At this rate, SF will be cheaper than Toronto.

SR-71 and small? Are you sure?

What’s a Loras?

Among all the web browsers I feel Opera is the fastest.

However, I don’t login to sensitive sites such as my bank account or Gmail for fear of data being passed on to the Chinese Communist Party.

India’s UPSC is considered to be the toughest in the world, but it’s not known to stifle creativity.

I would suggest building some projects for a few months and then start applying to relevant companies. Which country are you based in?

No, it was not inspired by this post but now that I have seen it, I definitely find it interesting.

Erdogan is villian, there's no disputing that.

My point is Musk could have easily done what a non-profit organization like Wikipedia could do viz. dragging the Turkish government to their supreme court, which is what the article is about.

Elon Musk is less of an engineer these days and more of a businessman. He only sees what keeps him profitable and his public image a zeitgeist. He also manipulates freedom of speech to his convenience, as this appears to be the case here.

India is getting liberal, its just that it faces resistance from certain sections of society who cling to old values, which is a normal part of change, but eventually it will definitely be closer to the West.

Kinda disagree with point 1.

People marry who they fall in love with and love is purely emotional.

There's no rhyme or reason to it.

The world has a real threat of population collapse and the HN crowd can be really imbecile at times.

Population explosion is a dumb idea that has gone too far and people whose reading is limited to their school textbooks blindly believe in it.
