OK. And what is the process for me, Joe Indie Dev, to get the same kind of white glove treatment? (If the answer is “play golf with an Apple exec,” then it’s no wonder that the company is losing so disasterously in courts around the world.)

Ditto. I ride Muni (bus and rail) in the Mission close to every day, and although I sometimes encounter people behaving erratically or anti-socially, I don’t recall the last time I felt “unsafe.” (Not that it’s always a pleasant experienc

As an aside, how did the description text (" https://starcloudinc.github.io/wp.pdf ") get added to a link post? Whenever I've tried in the past, my text got splatted into a comment. Was this mod intervention?

It's not that complicated: little guy taking stuff from big corp (then) vs. big corp taking stuff from little guy (now). Similar to the recent debates over permissive open source licenses and corporate exploitation. As for the zeitgeis

If I wanted to go for a studio or 1br, I think I'd be able to get a good one for $2500-$3000 in SF. Either way, it's only around 15% of a $300k salary after tax. There should be no CoL issues at all with a FAANG salary.

Rent was (and is) around $4000 for 3br, shared between 2 people. (And this was not an unusual price to see during our apartment hunt a few years ago.) If you're paying $4900 for 2br in the city, my impression is that it's either a

That’s silly. As a high-income FAANG engineer living in the heart of SF, I was easily able to save more than 70% of my money.

I say leak every. single. one. Whatever it is they wanted to stay private, let it hang off their names for the rest of recorded history. It’s the only facsimile of holding powerful people accountable we have left.

If your partner is your best and only friend, not only are you putting far too much weight on one person to manage your emotional well-being, but you’ll be SOL if/when they leave, die, or become incapacitated. Women, who tend to mainta

The first picture is definitely not "dad bod". The man is already in relatively good shape and looks like a normal human. It's not some sort of virtue to disappear every last bit of flab¹, and it should be no surprise that m

You don’t have to agree with this take, but it has historical precedent and merits discussion. In popular culture, “Do The Right Thing” (controversially?) posed the question back in 1989. And Black leaders have been talking about it since t

China would love an American movie about the working class rising up against the bourgeoisie. (I think that’s the real reason these movies don’t get made: they’re too “Communist” for American audiences.)
