With inflation, the return is not near 0, it's negative.

I do a similar process, but yours sounds better. I literally just Slack myself a list of TODOs at the end of the day, but I sort of want to try your process. Especially with being WFH, it's easier to keep my place in specific apps. Are

I'm waiting a year, in the hopes that some 700k-range homes start popping up that aren't 100% dumpster fires.

I would guess the opposite. If more Bay Area companies allow WFH, there's less demand here.

I recall Lyft being the highest paying company with respect to rank, according to levels.fyi. I guess I'm glad I don't work there right now.

I think it depends about messaging. There's one aspect to saying "Hey, we are trying to be ultra-inclusive, and there have been members in this group that feel offended or excluded via the term "guys". To make everyone f

I'm STILL waiting for United (or Expedia) to send me a refund after 2 weeks. I had a cancelled international flight and neither is sending me my refund. I don't think many of us have just thousands of dollars to just not get back.

I don't understand the notion of moving backward in order to keep jobs for people. I get why people say they want that (fear of losing their jobs), but I don't really understand the logical progression to getting there and I belie

I took a modified approach to this in university, though nowadays I mostly do the same. For each new class, I would start a new deck, and after the course was over I would move it over to my main (huge) deck, and it's worked surprising

I've never understood the goal of it. It feels like they claim it's to help those in the public eye that might frequently be targets of harassment or fraudulent copy-cat accounts, but AFAICT it's just a way to declare someone

Not sure it's totally accurate to include Salesforce in this type of metric, as that announcement seemed quite different (Marc Benioff is still CEO). However, it is quite interesting that so many timed all at the same (and it seems Bob

It's blatantly true that Reddit still holds echo chambers though, and the majority are far-left leaning. r/politics is as much of an echo chamber as r/The_Donald (but one is a default sub, with a deceptive name).

I'm completely in your camp, and I'm surprised by the lack of nuance HN seems to show (especially regarding micro-services & Kubernetes). There are many benefits to having microservices that people seem to forget because they

I think he's said in interviews he just had no idea what to do with Tom Bombadil. He is a bit of an odd character, especially with no context of the Silmarillion.

Obviously this is an anecdote, but what's ironic is that in my life, the "generally healthier" people all opt for either whole-milk or alternative kinds of milk (almond, oat, etc.), whereas the overweight people I know almost

It's also sometimes not, though. In college I was a minimalist mostly out of necessity - it's not hard to keep tidy if you can only afford a $600/mo. bedroom and only own a laptop, bed, a desk, and some clothes.
