MIT is an elite school. Is this comment meant to be facetious?

I've thought about launching an idea like this in the US. After doing some research, it proved to be too difficult to execute because of foodservice regulations and ensuring safety.

I like your concept, especially emphasizing the benefits of home cooking. Here are some things I think you should think carefully about: -how do you ensure safety on both ends (buyer and seller)? -why would someone want to use your platform instead of doing their own underground restaurant? -how do you vet hosts? Is there a vetting process for hosts? -how do you ensure a pleasant group meal dynamic?

Would love to chat more about this if would like. This is an idea I would really, really like to see succeed!

michaelbwang | 13 years ago | on: On Technical Entitlement

After reading this article, I still don't quite understand the meaning of technical entitlement. Is it the same thing as technical elitism? Moreover, I feel the whole post is just about elitism - albeit in the tech world - which is nothing new. I don't see the point Tess is trying to make.

This is definitely an interesting post. I'm curious how non-technical positions measure up in terms of summer pay per month.
