MusaTheRedGuard··on Ethiopia is now Africa's fastest growing economy

Look at the Nigerian stock exchange or the South African stock exchange or the Morrocan Stock exchange.

Obviously financial infrastructure varies a lot from country to country

MusaTheRedGuard··on Ethiopia is now Africa's fastest growing economy

That's just not true. A more accurate statement would be there are very few African companies listed on American stock exchanges. They are still listed in their home country's exchanges

MusaTheRedGuard··on The Mess at Meetup

> Is "blue hair" now a stereotyped signal for political beliefs?

Yes. Dyed hair, along cat eyed glasses, is seen as a symbol for the "far left" SJW tumblr crowd

It's an acquisition/acquihire

MusaTheRedGuard··on How Discord Scaled Elixir to 5M Concurrent Users

Yeah pretty much impossible with python.

MusaTheRedGuard··on Walmart to Buy Bonobos, Men’s Wear Company, for $310M

Twitter also has what somewhat ridiculous costs

MusaTheRedGuard··on India's Misguided War on Cash

Thank you! I am also Nigerian and seeing these inaccuracies was extremely irritating

MusaTheRedGuard··on Quit Social Media, Your Career May Depend on It

Why would you argue that?

MusaTheRedGuard··on "This is Tayo. He's 11 and showed me a game he built called Spike Rush"

I would say Africa is yet to tap the potential of its people in Africa. Nigerians and other west Africans have been making huge inroads in the US and UK for decades now

MusaTheRedGuard··on How to Become a C.E.O.? The Quickest Path Is a Winding One

I got this as an audiobook about two months ago but never got around to listening to it. This convinced me to give it another shot :)

MusaTheRedGuard··on Startup Trends 2016

So I just spent like 10 minuted playing with that tool. It looks like Software Developer and Software Engineer job posts are on a clear downward trend when everything I've heard doesn't agree with that. Why do you think that is?

MusaTheRedGuard··on Benin City, the mighty medieval capital now lost without trace
