What is a bulk account? I don't see mention of it on the site guidelines or anywhere else.

I personally don't want to have an identity on the web. If that's against the rules could you kindly point it out to me? That's definitely something I'd be interested in learning about.

I take Uber or Lyft, whichever is cheapest. The ride "sharing" industry is a brilliant innovation, but I seriously doubt it can support Uber's valuation.

It's a good point. But I'm alluding more to budding companies, not established companies. Granted Facebook didn't IPO until 2012.

But, as far as I can tell the software industry has contracted into those big 5 tech firms. The siren call of working at a startup and making it is sounding strident.

Knowing what you know now, what startup, if any, would you have joined 5 years ago?

Would you join any startup now?

Tech companies, and startups in particular, are touted as the powerhouses of American innovation and economy.

And yet, it seems that the past 5 years of economic activity have been illusory. I expect a similar fate of Uber and Airbnb. Once the dust settles only the staid big co's shall remain.
