Firefox created the revolution of "better browsers"! Google was smart enough to have market their own browser by having themselves be the default search on it. Once you land on Google, the "install Chrome for a better experience" slowly had people move to it.

The point is --- there was no real need to even mention this on an FB post! the CEO is also an employee and he could have done this more privately.

I hate it when top CEOs try to prove that love "work-life" balance when in reality once you reach the top, its always easy to do the "right thing" in any circumstance.

If she would have been pregnant when he just started FB, then would have taken more than 2 days off?

This will cause "labor abandonment" and put more pressure on the economy. Here is an example --- a company uses a worked for just 1-2 years, sponsors his green card and then fires him. Now if he cannot find a job then if he were on the previous H1B, then he will have to leave the US. However, now, he can stay without a job with no risk of removal, which means he is a liability to the country.

An interesting perspective. I agree with most but not this one:

"By developing “start-up skills” for four years, you are missing an opportunity to hone your skills as a writer, musician, engineer, architect, or whatever that secret aspiration was that you had before you decided it was necessary to make a lot of money first. It will be a regret that will not go away."

I did fully commit myself to build a company which gives me immense financial freedom and I definitely did not pursue some interests I wanted to. However, I have absolutely no regrets. Given a choice all over again, I'd choose building the startup without even thinking for a micro-second compared to wanting to pursue a career in music. Interestingly, now I can take private lessons on playing the piano when and where I feel like.

Money is definitely not everything and cannot singularly make you happy, but in today's world it's definitely the first thing you'd like to acquire to simplify getting most of the other things you want.

The post does not add any value -- "you are not at a disadvantage" means we are evaluating everyone with the same scale. Why should this be a surprise? this is the least we would expect anyway.
