The other curse is to progress to IC7-9 (non manager) at MAANG making 500k-900k and unable to be hired anywhere else. The only place to go is to stay at a megacorp. Thankfully, some of these megacorps violate this article's "curse

To afford to buy a home (average value of $2.2m) where I grew up in a barely middle class area, it requires a minimum income of 400k USD. That's just a middle class home with nothing fancy. And you're lecturing us that it'

Western Union predates the Pony Express by about 10 years, which operated for only 18 months. It was the Webvan and WU was the Amazon.

Duh. I mentioned A to dismiss it rather than invite inevitable conspiracy theories. His lawyers came out almost immediately claiming he seemed in good spirits. Perhaps this was a superficial assessment or he was hiding his true feelings. Li

Yep. America has the simultaneous problems of being both too spread out and too busy/dense in most areas without sufficient public transport. There has been a widespread, long-term lack of planning to arrange smaller residential areas

Changing all of the world's infrastructure isn't a "hack", All they have to do is use AnyCast and geoip to block most users from a specific region. If you really need Pornhub in Texas, a VPN cloud VM is your courier.

$2m+ for San Jose retirees with Prop 13. $300m houses and every billionaire are absurd and policy failures. Correct without over correcting/ping-ponging between anarcho libertarianism and communism should be the goal.

Learned this 30 years ago. Durable quality goods are generally best bought used, but furniture requires close inspection to avoid pests. Custom Macy's extra long couch from ~2000 is the best thing ever. You sink into it and it holds

Most people buy IKEA sawdust or are low information consumers, and the market responds accordingly. As such, people don't buy fine furniture or understand how to discern quality in a specific durable good.

It's illegal in Alaska to waste meat of big wild game animals because it's a form of food waste otherwise. > If no attempt is made to salvage meat, the minimum fine is $2,000 and 7 days in jail. The more egregious charge, of w

The machine and the operator are a superorganism system. Looking to place blame on one or a nebulous external cause is intellectually and morally dishonest because it denies culpability for specific instances of harm.
