Rodnik posted:You know it's sad but one of the main reasons I still post here is it's one of the only communities that hasn't been bought out by Conde Nast and co. Glad we never made it to primetime. Keep the lols comin gang. The management also banned having family photos in the office. I guess they don't want to feel guilty when they fire people?

Wafflz posted:Aren't flavorless food squares/paste a key part of pretty much every sci-fi dystopia story? The whole startup machine basically is trying to create a tech utopia no body wants. Al Cowens posted:I got a job offer last week from a two-man social media start-up that proposed to make me CTO on the condition that I receive shares in company stock, not cold hard cash. A friendly reminder that 90 percent startups fail completely, so it's basically a choice of worthless stock or actual money for your time.

Bitcoin didn't disrupt currency since it never found widespread use except for things like drugs or tipping the Reddit Gone Wild girls.

sincx posted:No amount of cash can make Uber's monopolization attempt work. Transportation is a very-close-to-perfect-competition industry and the Uber, Lyft, etc. business model has very low switching costs for both suppliers and customers. They're going to run out of money for subsidies sooner or later. I guess Uber is hoping that Lyft runs out of money first, dies, and then Uber can jack up the rates, but that just gives an opportunity for Lyft2. Especially since despite bragging about real innovation startups tend to suffer from me too syndrome.

Wafflz posted:This is amazing, it's like an alien coming to earth and trying to make like the locals. Albert suggested that sports reflect the go-to topic for small talk and building rapport across class and context. But he suggested that almost everybody who used the term "working class struggle" was incapable of making small talk with members of the working class because — unlike most working class people (and most people in general) — educated people systematically cultivate ignorance in sports.
