I had a similar experience as well. Tried to call support and they had a prerecorded message telling you to go away, you're fucked, unless you're calling about an account takeover. It reminds me of the time Washington DC had a bab

Thoughts on why this happened? I wish they were more forthcoming about the causes. This is the corporate equivalent of ghosting on your tinder date.

Sympathy for a disaster and belief about its causes are different things. If you think a natural disaster is the result of God's plan (and not e.g. climate change), it is perfectly congruent to both contribute to healing in the form o

I moved from san francisco to seattle about 2 years ago. It was already well on the way, but I'd say that in that time, we've gotten about 85-90% through becoming san francsico. It's not 100 because the poop and transit situa

I'm not sure exactly how big the per-employee pay cut would have to be in the bay area (or elsewhere) to offset the increase in square footage costs, but I expect that it's monumental. Which is one of my pet peeves about open offi
