"have earned an annual total-fund net return of 9.6% since the plan's founding in 1990" 9.6% sounds pretty stellar to me. This is much better than many funds. Calpers' 30 year return is 7.7% annualized.

Glad you were able to get through this. The severance is especially nice. > and was able to file for unemployment Reminder to people that H-1b holders are not eligible for unemployment claims. They pay INTO the system but are not allowed

This ignores opportunity cost. If you flourish during the PhD, that's great Or you could struggle, go through tons of stress, have no time to give to friends (and lose touch with friends), no time for a relationship, etc. etc. Not to m

Is TCS/Infosys/etc taking a risk on hiring untrained/undertrained employees and putting in the effort to train them? Or did they get training through a college/university? If the latter, I’d say education is helping pull

This is an LSP backend for Emacs. In what way is this setup not an IDE?

This must be strictly an old school Valley problem. Up in the city, IDEs are standard. How would you even write Scala at Twitter without an IDE?

You say “prefix 20” but there was this weird trend in the early-mid 2000’s where Ruby evangelists really believed that TDD is just as good as static types - even better because you’re forced to test actual business logic! And they even mana

I wonder if Youtubers are mistaking consistency with quality? They don't realize that their consistent production is causing an increase in their quality (via practice/learning)

1) maybe they ran the ring for more than a decade? 2) 1600 is just the number reported . I’d imagine not many people report the thefts, especially if your car insurance premiums will rise (insurance companies raise premiums even if you don

For those missing context, I believe this is a reference to California high schools which provide free lunch to students (and I guess this doesn't happen in Texas...?)

Doesn't California have TWO public university systems doing this? University of California and California State University?

“ Any city may now pick up the 469 Stevenson St. manual and use it to impose an unreviewable death by delay on almost any housing project it wants to kill.” Anyone who doesn’t understand California housing politics won’t understand why ever

Ok, renters got $1500/mth for 2 years, maybe, if they decided not to pay rent (almost all my friends are renters and none of them stopped paying rent). Homeowners got $1500/mth for 30 years.

Your house, maybe not. But across the UK, average house prices are up 10% this year compared to 2021. And from 2021 vs 2020 another 8-10%

It was a massive handout to existing homeowners. If you rent, you got nothing. If you were paying $6000/mth on your mortgage, you could refinance and find yourself paying $3500/mth. Now, until the end of the loan, you find you hav

They wanted to induce more spending elsewhere in the economy to make up for the lack of spending in shut down businesses. I think as businesses reopened gradually they should obviously have done the reverse (Quantitative tightening), but th

New York has a similar GDP per capita to California but only has about 6% of new car sales as EV.

They are not. Cash was built using unlinked refunds over visa to do direct deposit onto visa debit cards. For ACH, it uses normal ACH rails. Zelle…was built by the big banks…
