How sustainable as a career is it to build apps? I know nothing about this so maybe it's a dumb question but do you see yourself creating apps after apps (until you run out of ideas i guess) or do you plan to eventually do something else or go to the corporate world?

I remember someone saying that she had to laugh when being confronted, that as a woman, getting angry would be very badly perceived by some people. I am not a Hillary supporter (am not even american) but I think this is an interesting explanation for her cackle. This study:
Participants regarded an angry woman as more emotional
For men, on the other hand, expressing anger made them seem more credible,
The Hillarys of the world may feel the need to keep stifling their anger when people ask annoying questions, while the Donalds can let their rants go unchecked. And the ordinary woman who wishes to be heard may have to suppress her passion, no matter how strongly she feels about her point of view. the participants discounted an angry woman entirely
And that's why Hillary laughs when she is in fact probably fuming on the inside.

Because she is doing an AMA about her work and people are bombarding her with their grievances about her country. Imagine if anything an American citizen had to say was just dismissed because of the Iraq war. This isn't a thread about Palestine, it's about Israel and Nepal.

Hong Kongers are no different from any other urban people looking at provincial/countryside people. Like New Yorkers would look at midwesterners or Parisians at provincial french. It's not very nice but don't make it look like you are the victim of some massive racism here. There are 7 million people in HK, 1.4 billion in China, Hong kong is not trying to impose anything on China, it's the other way around. The bully here is not the hong konger being a bit snooty towards you, it's the billion people sending the army and the tanks because they believe that EVERYBODY must confrom to the will of the one party.
