Silicon Valley has to be at least 65% cult.


This might sound super gross (ok, it's super-gross) but I have a pet theory that your odds of being hired have a lot to do with your "fuckability" - regardless of your gender. That is to say, I think men who hire will also prefer to hire other men who look good, even though they're likely totally uninterested in them sexually.


Most people call it "attractive" and it is 100% a factor in hiring.

I doubt the ACA will ever fully live up to its promise because Congressional Republicans need to try and overturn it every 4 months. Even if they don't succeed, they still end up injecting uncertainty into the market, which drives up prices. And it will go on forever and ever. It'll be one of those things Republicans never, ever let go of like abortion and guns.


OK, but as long as individuals buy their insurance through an exchange so that they can benefit from group purchasing. Otherwise, people who purchase as an individual won't be able to negotiate for lower prices.

The bringing-out is itself a kind of context. That kind of critical/analytical context is far, far different from simply setting up a forum in a huge social media site where impressionable people sometimes congregate. It's like the difference between a biology lab where students perform dissection and a dirty, stinking, public restroom where people graffiti on the wall and poop in the urinals.


Hey, ya know what? There are some people who very strongly believe that the only place in America they can live safely is in the SF Bay Area. And we're going to see more and more stories in the news about why that's the case as time goes on.


It's 'cause Texans are classy.


It's still quite possible to be a completely legal asshole. I'm surprised this is news.
