I was recently looking at getting starlink. During my research I got a good chuckle at the realization that it’s more cost effective for SpaceX to launch thousands of satellites into space for starlink then it is for someone to dig a goddam

I love how conservatives still make this argument. You're arguing for the free market in a system that literally isn't, and doing it in such a way that it tries to be a thought-terminating cliche. If you get into a car accident to

True but the tech world IS small. I’m not coming to the defense of the business or management but there is some truth to it. Everyone is only a degree or two from anyone else in the BA, and you bet your ass people ping old coworkers about c

Kubernetes is like sex in high school. Everyone says they’ve done it but very few have actually done it. It’s a bit early to say anything. If anything the death of k8s will be sparked by all those who fail to implement it the right way li

Farmland is also a loophole, not that I have any evidence that gates is skirting the law it’s not uncommon for the rich to get land, put a chicken coup on it with two chickens, and then claim it as farmland for a crazy property tax reductio

Not OP but I think that most people don’t have any issue with this what so ever. What people do have a problem with though is them skirting tax laws with hacks, loopholes, regulatory capture, and controlling the conservation propping themse

That’s a valid point. I don’t want to argue pedantry but I’ll say I worked some media companies that experience 5x normal volumes a few times a year during events before returning to “normal”, making AWS an obvious choice. I’ve also worked

I just back buttoned my way back to this thread after looking for that exact same thing. The price still seems a bit high, can’t take a more educated guess without the cap though.. I couldn’t find it. Honestly though I’m surprised they’re e

It’s not. I was born and raised in the Bay Area, late 30s, have family in the city thats owned in the city proper since the 70s. My entire working career was in the peninsula, 10 of which in SOMA. I don’t want to make this political it’s al

Bring it up during the initial contact from the recruiter. When they ask about you’re “salary requirements” is when it can be brought up. Ignore the parts on working for competitors (that’s illegal in CA anyways just let the dog be), focus

Too funny I haven’t been doing front end for very long, maybe a few years.. I knew of the existence of JWT so that’s what I ended up rolling with on my first true frontend heavy project. JWT token tutorials are an excellent example of my th

It’s hella late so I’ll keep it short. I’ll just say I love the land tax idea. I’ve been toying with that idea in my head. It does seem like it would solve a lot of issues we’ve been facing. And honestly I’d rather them buy 1000 Ferarris an

I don’t get the facebook meme thing but I last I heard it being discussed was on a podcast called “opening arguments” around the time DeJoy was brought in. The show is a comedian and a Harvard lawyer discussing policy and law. Highly recomm

I don’t care what they spend it on, I never claimed to care. I agree ideologically with Adam’s premise though. It is in the best interest of the nation and the individuals living at that time that the assets and wealth of that nation be acc

You’d think right?! So why the hell is the same marble used to craft David already in the unit? Why spend so much on finishings if it’s just gonna be redone. That’s part of the 70 million. Feels like rentseeking and waste to me

There are a lot of conservative narratives baked into this post. Let’s look at the horrible mismanagement of the USPS. I’m 2004 DHL and UPS wrote a law to increase the pension liabilities of the USPS. It passed in 2005 after being passed by

I can’t speak for the artist but I find these places quite drab because of the material choice and color. Grey/white marble, satin paint, light flooring, etc all make it dull to me. The problem I see though is to sell a unit at that th

I can’t tell if that’s sarcasm or not so I’ll just remind everyone of Adam Smith: "A power to dispose of estates for ever is manifestly absurd. The earth and the fulness of it belongs to every generation, and the preceding one can have

Yes. Products companies produce aren’t cheaper in say India or Mexico then they are in the US.. because they are valued at a certain dollar amount they deem fair. Why should a human being be any different? A good engineer produces certain v

I remember cause I refused to switch. When it first came out the argument was “it’s faster than Firefox”. I never got what that meant. What... a 200ms load time on Firefox was 180ms on chrome? Wow let me switch to skynet’s chrome! Pass

You're eluding to a question that no one asked. It can be cheap or as expensive you want. You can buy a boat 5-10 grand that will get you to the Carribean from California, or you can spend 1 million to do the same. Once you've lef

It’s something I always wanted to do. Prior to leaving I spent a few years learning it and sailing SF bay. Having said that’s it’s not required, plenty of people learn as they go though crossing an ocean isn’t advised as a jumping off point
