Salaries are determined by supply & demand, not by how engineers feel, what they "realize", or what they create in terms of value.

How do you know he's a billionaire?

> like airbnb, uber, and theranos

One of them is not like the other

What's the point of being a startup not looking at being a unicorn? I genuinely do not understand how somebody can cap off their ambitions like so.

Salaries are determined by market forces. Board pays CEO as much as they value her or him. "Pay gap" between CEOs and proletariat is a meme and as such should not be considered seriously.

Shenzhen area will be the new Silicon Valley most likely.

You can buy it from Salesforce if you like it.

Being a sore loser is always a poor strategy. Reflect on mistakes made and opportunities lost and move on.

> ...and I have no interest in learning...

Single biggest red flag when hiring engineers.

Most people on US Forbes top 500 came from poverty and / or other disadvantage.

That's how you label your data. Nothing newsworthy here.

> So many people are starting to de-Google their life.

Is this actually true or just an anecdote? Last time I checked the market share for core Google products was growing everywhere except in China, especially in Europe where EU has been killing off the remaining competition through GDPR et al.

I'm all for seeing newcomers take on the incumbent behemoths, but I also like true information.

Only because you're not insulted doesn't logically mean it's not condescending.

If a nation with a young population has a higher adoption rate for a modern technology than "developed" countries that are twice as old on average then good for Philippines. No need to dismiss them as "zombies" and bring in the usual Facebook circlejerk.

That's very condescending towards Filipinos.

This seems irrational. What's the argument behind such requirement?

Somebody once broke into my car in the East Cut and stole a bottle of water.

China needs to take down its firewall or be shut out from the international markets. Blocking foreign web traffic in the age of digital commerce is blatant protectionism and WTO rules should be updated to prohibit such practice.

President Trump has toyed with a lot of stupid ideas that are dead on arrival.

It's cheaper.

Salaries for h1b cannot be lower than salaries for others by law. And nobody gets a total comp under 100k anymore.

Software engineers don't get hired to Google with 60-100k salaries, not even close.

Sperm frozen in a foreign cryobank since 2017

I'm 26 right now and I'm not planning to have kids until I'm 35 for this exact reason. I don't want my kid to say: "Daddy, why do other kids have disease resistance and I don't? Do you not love me? Or were you one of those stupid anti-CRISPRers who don't believe in science (the anti-vaxxers of the next decades)?"

I'd rather wait for 5-10 years to make sure I don't make a lifelong mistake.

We can always just keep siphoning cash from US multinationals thru bogus antitrust claims. That's one way to stay afloat in the face of demographic crisis, stagnant productivity, and Chinese takeover of key sectors.

And more importantly startpage.com is a European service while DDG is an American service. It's extremely important for us in HN community to keep promoting European services regardless of product considerations because anything American is by definition toxic and should not exist.

Are you okay?

It even worked for me flawlessly in China, no extrw VPN software needed.

There's order of magnitude more homonyms in Mandarin than English to the point where having a pictograms system starts making sense. That's why 80 percent of characters are multipart with one of the radicals carrying the pronunciation.
