on: India uses recycled pipes to detect solar storms
Bro, I don't care what this article is trying to sell you. Science is never cheap. It is awesome that these scientist figure out some creative way to cut cost. If everyone is starting to do this on the large scale, the human civilization will stop developing.

Their team doesn't look too diverse to me. Not a good culture fit for silicon valley.

I personally feel sorry for people who need to buy their clothes at these places. But I guess they don't have other options? I am not sure how they live their lives.

I know some folks here probably lead you to YC. But I am currently building something with my saving as a developer. If I got my prototype right, I will call my richest auntie.

on: 40% of foreign students in the US have no close American friends on campus
40% of US students in the US have no close American friends on campus too. We all went to college. Come one. That is how it is. I wouldn't call the dude saying hi to me everyday the room next door ma friend. They are all just living around me. We all have to pretend to be nice to each other because none of us wants trouble. Sure we do hang out or get drunk at the party. But we are not friends.
The only true friend I got is my college sweet heart.

You may look at the percentages of each ethnic groups studying cs or even STEM before pointing fingers to enterprises. There is no discrimination on choosing majors. And college kids don't go to classes anyway, no matter how racist your professors can be.

Yeah, americans are so exceptional. We can teach the high school drop outs and English majors to run the tech giants. And all the inferior foreign competitors will still be bowing over and witnessing the mighty angels dancing glamorously for their final judgement.
USA! USA! USA!

I've known some 1% commuting 3hrs round way. Just because the "aren't shitholes" area could be really far away. Plus after tax 600k will turn into 350k.
