It's about in-groups vs out-groups, bullying and humiliation, showing off and hangers-on, all that sort of thing.

In other words, it's called "clan like thinking" - that's exactly what makes a startup successful.

Without this you can never succeed, anyone who says otherwise is not telling you the complete truth.

"I’m sure the CTO has a perfectly good reason to drop his pants in his office. Perhaps he urgently needed to urinate and his office door was the best place to do it?"

Droping pant is a way to show that, we are all in the game with new tech stack and we not holding anything back, not even our pants. In a startup, we should do whatever it takes to succeed.

No girl is dumb enough to be their girlfriend.

Being smart has nothing to do with it. People don't make a rational choice while choosing a partner. I am not even remotely good looking compared to many handsome men around. What works is rather simple, if you can do funny things bravely, you'll get the any girl you want.

Now, i am from Eastern Europe and Ashkenazi Jew. I am naturally not good looking compared to many other handsome men. But I still don't feel ugly and i am able to attract any woman i want.

Many women here threw insult at me but i laughed them off, they are just checking what you are made up of and how difficult it is to agitate you or make you sad, a manchild can't handle this without breaking into tears.

Firstly, minorities have very tough environment and they don't have education and even time to think about their future

I'll add here that even if they've time and education, they might lack proper nutrition if the government deliberately keeps the watchdogs which regulate food supplies, drugs and environment underesorced. This will reduce their IQ and ability to take a better decision.

The end game is whoever manages to keep people desperate and dumb.

Simply letting bad actors contaminate the food with lead will do this job of keeping everyone dumb and winning election next year by throwing breadcrumbs.

Theives are usually lazy and they don't make more efforts then required.

My friend has holes in the front of the car to make it easier for theives to attach a hook and then tow the car into a truck.

But if you put pressure above a threshold on any of the holes, car keeps sending one SMS to his number every 5 minutes.

This is in Romania.

Religions? Do they've all scientifically verified ideas? People still believe in them. Not only that, religion is also given special place in the constitution and law of some countries.

Religion is still going strong. Try to take away anyone's religion based on refutations then tell me that refuting bad idea really works.

Till then many others will try to mix mash bad ideas into new religions.

If more of those short-term fixes benefit minorities, that still isn’t worse than if they benefit majorities.

If minorities vote for receiving short term benefits then everyone including the minorities are knocked out of the long term benefits.

If you can just win by offering a vehicle like horse cart and keep upgrading it through research and development, adding 1km/hr speed increment every 5 year. Then you'll probably never be able to develop a car because its development requires long term research and development program, even if nothing, atleast a working infrastructure.

This is after many broken hearts.

I've read somewhere that some part of the North Europeans have a gene which prevents bonding, so it's easier for them to walk out of relationship. I am not able to find it anymore, maybe it's something to do with the Oxytocin receptors.

So why not create a drug with similar effect for others?

What i am writing below might be sexist but it's from experience. Since, i am a man i don't know woman's perspective.

I am not bothered much by the loss of a person in relationship, what bothers me the herculean efforts I put including compromises, blood, sweat and sacrifices which is now lost.

That Ferrari I bought for you, the sea side bungalow i gifted you. All the evenings i arranged for you and the vacations which we spent together, all lost.

A man almost never only brings his body/mind/heart to the relationship, he brings with him the obsession to labor tirelessly for her comfort - destroying yourself to get that bonus which will statisfy her seems perfectly rational then.

The value of those experiences drastically declines for me when I realize the person has separated from me.

It's not very different than a teenager wanting his favourite couples in the movie to be in relationship or marriage in a real life.

Once the relationship ends, i realize that person isn't even as beautiful as i always perceived them. The 7/10 girl looks 10/10 when you love her she gets back to 7/10 when the realationship ends. I wonder if the love is self dilllusion.

Absolutely, but expecting your partner not to cheat on you is not asking for perfection hence the legitimacy of demonizing them.

I see humans as fallible. So, i am ok with my girlfriend sleeping with other guys.

She isn't my prisoner anyway, I've no right to to restrict her from fulfilling her fantasy as long as she isn't hurting anyone, i am fine with it.

You can't produce a thesis by memorising someone else's work

I did not imply this. If you looked up every basic result, you'll be demotivated easily.

It does require some memorization.

Stay private and get loans

What if they got stuck in some scandal? IPO is also a way to shield the company from action of an evil executive.

If some politician has a beef with a private business, they can potentially cause them enormous loss.

But no politician would like to take some action which might cause public losing money because of the fear of losing their support through votes.

Not only this, it's also a feedback mechanism. A company exceeds quarterly expectations, more people jump to buy their shares as a result executives sell and profit. And large companies will have projects which might take long to profit, but they can be immediately judged on their next move post IPO. How will this work in a private company?

For same reason for which we memorize alphabets.

I've OCD and i was on a verge of complete failure.

Untill a friend recommended me to try Ashwgandha (Withania somnifera)

After that my life completely changed positively.

I've lost my anxiety since then. I usually take it with a glass of milk.

Now, I've very less stress.

these are the the folks that benefit the most and contribute the least to society by several orders of magnitude

Let's not assume there are only 2 groups, one rich/evil and other poor/victims.

There are also rich who contribute positively to the soceity at large.

I've no problem with with poor people who contribute their share.

There are also poor people who negatively contribute to the soceity.

Money is not the only way people contribute. Social interactions/behaviour/attitude also matter.

Are rich people shitting on BART escalator?

Have you considered that maybe this isn't a problem with the students but a problem with society and the very problem with the education institutions and teachers like you that are just basically feeding on them?

I've lots of experience in teaching mathematics to students of all age. I believe how well you can be taught exclusively depends on your genetics and the environment you are brought up in.

Not everyone can succeed, not even majority of them can succeed.

You can simply filter students at the lowest level to manipulate the propotion of students who are succeeding.

Since then I've stopped teaching and went to start my own business.

If you really want to help them, leave them to fend for themselves and let the evolution make them fit for survival.

Anything done to screw with the nature will bite you back.

As a teacher, how do you handle these students?

Many people don't believe in working hard today for having a better life tomorrow.

They think they might as well get stuck by lightening and die. Should we blame them for this kind of thinking?

This why the idea of a weflare state seems to saddle the ones who work with more work at the expense of those who are not willing to do anything.

Today, the ones who get most benefit from the social system act indifferent to the soceity's need and refuse to contribute.

Maybe best system is one where everyone is left to fend for themselves and receive no help from government or society?

Those that won't or can't, no school can help them

Rich can have unmotivated kid and poor can have motivated kids and vice-versa.

Those who can't succeed, schools can still accept fees from them and create a larger pool of resources which those who 'can do' can leverage at expense of those who can't.

Wether it's good or bad - it's for the society to decide.

Not sure why you would even remotely assume genetics over just skills being passed down..?

There were also orphans who had never seen their parents or grandparents.

When genes are responsible for being lactose tolerate, why is it hard to hypothesise that only some people benefit from being raised in a math intense environment and not others?

Alright, i know this guy from NYC - he would offer payment processing to companies who could not get payment processing in their own country.

Initially, everyone will be paid out on time and later he will refuse to pay holding 500-1M from each company.

He made 10s of millions doing that you'll be surprised that everyone threatened with a lawsuit but never reached the court.

Now, he has a lot of real estate in NYC.

First i thought that this is scary but I've had many friends who told me that they they play games all day at their office and once boss called them in their cabin and they expected to be laid off but were given a small raise instead.

"I take lots of cigarette and bathroom breaks to fix my makeup/hair and Snapchat my friends. I can't see myself working hard. I am not a sheep". Those are the exact words.

This is a scene from a government organization in Romania.

Now, i am in the US and I've not witnessed it here but here i am in executive role so i hangout with different people.

I asked them why not do your job properly? They answered, if they are going to do their job then they'll most likely receive a promotion, raise and more responsibilities come with it. For them more money = more problem.

They told me that for them money does not matter and all they want is experiencing different cultures, traveling etc... and work has no place in it.

This is something I had never heard before!

They somehow managed to rationalize not performing their jobs.

Once I was with a friend and a homeless person pointed gun at us and asked us for all our belongings.

Now my friend who has rage issue and is also a football player, kicked so fast and hard at his wrist the gun was nowhere to be seen.

Now, i am neither martial artist nor a football player, i could barely see him kicking but he was ready to punch his face now since the gun was out of the equation.

If it was just me, I would have gave up everything and went home.

This is based on experience, i used to teach math. (~4000)

And i found it easier to teach math to people whoes father, grandfather, great grandfather all had masters in math.

So, i wonder if mathematical abilities are in genes and gene function changes when you bring a person with such genes into a math intense environment.

Why not bring labor on demand from South Asia or Africa.

I wonder, why governments don't make getting sex easier.

Why isn't there any app where you can just pay to have guaranteed safe sex in a government audited establishments without any drama?

Right now, many play a game of courting a potential mate. Sometimes, feelings are hurt due to unpredictable nature of this game. It results in manipulation, lies and faking. It might make people who repeatedly fail to get any sex, a criminal.

When was the last time your date showed up without makeup? This reeks dishonesty, ambush and manipulation.

Efficiency of this market can cure many issues like sexual harassment, end scam market of pickup artist and many other crimes of passion.

Chasing other sex should be outlawed unless they've subscribed to the app and the application for sex goes through the government devised route.

If I've unsubscribed then no one should offer me drinks for the purpose of getting sex. This is good for everyone's sanity.

Why not just have an app and bet sums of money there, then everyone will be motivated to acquire more money instead of playing other games.

Blame is on society for making the act of paying for sex through sweat/blood a stigma.

Without sex we would have gone extinct by now and yet sex is not considered as the primary need of humans.

I know a lot tech workers who were promised sex in return of favours - training, jobs, finanical help using signals and later got sexual harassment charges when they successfully delivered.

Humans are seflish. They want something in return of something.

I've heard people who are able to absorb inputs and make connections faster have high IQ and only 50% of the population has average IQ.

Maybe you are comparing yourself to those with higher IQ.

Training and education doesn't seem to help IQ that much.

When I was working long hours at an startup. My sleep cycle got disturbed.

Here is what works for me:

1. Reduce room temperature to 25*C. Go to bed at 10:30pm

2. Automatically shutdown the airconditioner at 4:30am.

3. Jump out of bed at 5am without any alarm clock.

This habit continues in the month when no airconditioner is needed.

Instagram has little to do with that; the two-way association between perceived health and attractiveness is deeply ingrained

See a professional makeup artist and see how he can improve your attractivness without improving your health.

Go to interviews/dates/event with and without professional makeup and compare your success rate.

This is a joke right? I would have thought development would be the one sector unaffected by look / image etc.

I know this guy who used to screen models at a Hollywood studio. Now he works as a recruiter in a tech company (he met a VP at stripclub who got him in), what do you think he does?

They are still same people! They look for same signals. They give it weird names like vibes / cultural fit or whatever.

Yes, it's absurd. I've my 20 able developer friends who weren't able to find job despite being very good developers. They were always messing up interviews.

Yes, they can solve whatever tricky questions you throw at them because they've lots of experience working on low level stuff.

People's eyes are so used to Instagram people that they think less attractive people are less healthy so they'll not be good at problem solving which takes great genes. This is what most have concluded from Instagram photos of bodybuilders/athletes/celebrities.

I am guilty of this myself, I've dated many beautiful ladies who i chased with passion. They all had invested lot of money into their looks. They always complained about not being well off like me but now you know why.This is what attracted me to them. Face is the first thing i notice, i was young and naive and got fooled by clever makeup. So why you can't do same as a man? Hack your way to success.

If you are a good programmer and still not getting paid well or getting promoted faster, then it's probably this.

Here comes the twist. We finally figured out it has to do with their appearance. No one gives this as reason to you, they simply reject you period.

So we got a writer and analyst, to figure out what the market truly wants then created a script and we gave it to the programmers to memorize.

Add some professional make-up artists, took some photographs at a studio with many others (pretending to be at some event of great importance). This went straight to their Instagram account.

And 16 out of 20 programmer friends showed up for interview and got a successful placement.

But still 4 of them didn't find job yet.

What is this? This is new normal and this is what people who are interviewing and recruiting want.

Singapore goverment's website is also very good.
