In this case his story would have never been written. Thus we get a big survivorship bias to hear only about unlikely events and get some kind of wisdom tidbits from those.
I guess they should have specified that if you are choosing between being a doctor, a lawyer, or a software engineer you should select one of those specialties not randomly but based on your preferences (aka passion).
(A) I will almost never use a real facebook or google account on a small site like this since I will normally expect to be spammed to no end. So normally for signup I use some disposable gmail account
(B) I certainly prefer Paypal. First I never heard of Stripe before and I assume that the site will either: (a) try to store my CC info, will get hacked and I will have to deal with fraudulent charges or (b) keep trying to charge me after I completely forgot about this service and no longer need it.
(C) If I use a credit card on a site like this it will be a virtual account number with a single charge limit. This probably explains credit card charge failures
They hired new chief diversity officer, Danielle Brown -
Brown talked with NPR last year, while at the chipmaker Intel. “I think maybe two or three specific things that explain our success,” she said. “The first thing is accountability. Setting these goals, communicating the goals, tying pay to the goals. I think that’s been key.”
She was at an important place at an important time. Intel had decided to do something no other tech giant had done before: publicly state how many women and underrepresented minorities it wanted to recruit, and how many it managed to retain. Of all new hires, Intel told the world, at least 40 percent would have to be women or underrepresented minorities.
