I'm with Sqrage on this one. Business people on a social site? Facebook does it too, it's just that Google tells you they're doing it.

Has anyone else ever noticed that Google is constantly trying to do what EVERYONE ELSE is doing? Any time some huge internet wonder comes out, eventually Google has it's own version.
They were just a bloody search engine!
I can't wait for Bing to start doing this. Bing+, the new and improved stupid thing of tomorrow!

If I recall correctly, Google actually made a statement about why they do all these kinds of side projects. Aside from motivating employees by allowing them to work on whatever they want in some of their time, Google hopes to gain from minor improvements here and there. They want to build a phone OS, so that phone OS's will in general improve (and therefore expand the market for people using Google to search). They make their own browser/netbook OS/netbooks so that competition will again, improve the market.
In my honest opinion, it's a very smart decision.
Competition is at the very basis of Capitalism. It is actually much needed.

I was hoping you were going to say you wanted to be a cook and wished to open up a Food Truck there are so many opportunities for that here -

The Helper:
most bars are struggling to build food prep and even some I know are doing there own food trucks
-
The Helper:
but yeah man you should come to Houston there is so much more opportunity here than San Antonio. Just look at all the homeless people on the Riverwalk and downtown there you cannot even walk down the street without getting mobbed them

I tried to open a food truck in Sandpoint a few years ago but the city said no, then like two years later they passed new laws to encourage it and gave them all fucking tax breaks and shit. And at that point I didn't have enough money to go buy one so I was way too late to the game once other cities realized they could just bring their existing truck there, or sell their brick and mortar. -
Varine:
I do like food trucks though, they're way more fun than restaurants and usually I also get some of that tip money there.
-
Varine:
Restaurants are really hard if you don't have a back up source of income to fund them sometimes, in my experience most owners either got really really lucky, had existing money that allowed them to buy an already successful one, or they have family money to fall back on for loans. It's few and far between to see very inspiring success stories where the person actually got it through hard work and perseverance. I thought about opening one lots and I always just end up not thinking it'll work. I would much rather just find someone that has that money and go work for them

i am not talking about opening a brick and mortar I am talking about food trucks though I have seen some brick and mortar mexican places open up during covid that are doing good because there food is awesome!

The Helper:
Food trucks are killing out here because Bars cannot open unless they sell food and the governor ok'd the use of a food truck in front as serving food

The Helper:
a buddy of mine just opened up a food truck and he is killing it but he is a great cook and has awesome food right in the middle of the pandemic too food trucks are immune to pandemic because they are take out in Texas you will always be able to get take out or delivery

The Helper:
He is in the different food facebook groups in houston and posts videos of him making his food

@Varine with the restaurants, there surely is a lot of luck and hard work but most restaurants fail because they suck. Flair isn't right, economics not well thought through, food is mediocre or sucks, location is bad, etc. If you're thinking about opening one, make sure you're looking at the stories of those that would be playing at your level, don't let your hopes be dragged down by all the subpar restaurants out there. -

I'm a bit worried about the future of data science, there's an influx of incompetent people hired by incompetent managers, that can't last. But I'm sure smart data scientists will always be useful and hireable. Same as smart security people.

My sister in law worked in a vegan food truck, the owners were also making a killing, added several trucks and opened two restaurants over 5 years

The CompTIA stuff is pretty much crap unfortunately. The places that ask for those low-level certs aren't likely places you want to work. For IT you really want a degree, but in the meantime you need to figure out some way to learn the skills. Cybersecurity is really hot right now so competition is fierce. -

I realized I don't have anything much to say, other than "Good luck!". Compared to other places, I'm just very lucky we didn't have a lot of surges of cases coming in. -
The Helper:
My daughter just got back from school at Georgetown TX, outside of Austin and said there were 100 cases in the last week but she also said nobody was wearing a mask anywhere so people mask up and stay safe!+1
