I don't know what perspective that really brings. I'm sure that there are internships that pay less, but Cloudflare is a big company that is in the Bay Area, so thats pretty much what they're gonna pay.

I mean for any big tech company, its not that cheap. I made $42.50 an hour plus a housing stipend when I was an intern, and I don't think that I did very much. A lot of the reason that companies do that is that paying an intern about $

This seems like it's missing the forrest for the trees. COVID19 is a strain of flu and like all flus, it affects the respiratory system. For this reason, COVID19's mortality rate is 2.8% among men in China, compared to 1.9% among

This looks really cool! I've worked with large data sets before and one of the most annoying things was when they were split up into multiple files. Do you currently support statistics across multiple datasets? Also, how did you come u

Check out what levels.fyi is doing. They do specific numbers broken down by comp type for all different kinds of job levels.

Maybe we could come up with a consistent language to tell machines what to do first.

I don't know what the total breakdown is, but at AWS we get a bill every month for our own spend, and managers get it for the whole team. We don't have to pay it, obviously, but it's to show what the spend is.

I'm saying that bankruptcy at 22 or however young is the much better option. You get it discharged before 30, and so it doesn't even impact the terms you get if you're trying to buy a house for a lot of people. If your option

The currently proposed legal framework for ISA's[0] seems like it would make ISA's dischargeable in bankruptcy, which would likely cause all sorts of issues with people signing up for them, using them to pay for tuition, and then

This is really interesting, I wonder what caused the spike in the summer of 2017? I don't remember it being especially hot, any instance a strike, or anything like that.

Thats probably true, but thats someone at the top of the field in of the most expensive places to contract. I am very much not a senior engineer, I started as a new grad about 6 weeks ago.

I guess that’s true. Sorry, not to versed in healthcare costs, it’s the first time I had to pick my own plan and/or pay for it.

Like half of these are negatives, imo. 1) I've found places in the bay for way less than what they were saying, even without roommates. Its like 2k for a 1br in Lake Merritt, which is 15-20 minute BART to SF. 2) Yes startups that are p

I've been looking for the same thing. Unfortunately, its been hard, especially since I moved outside of the bay area.

The practical difference is that title IX means that universities have to provide equal opportunity for male and female students. If a donor wants the university to pay male athletes $1 from his pocket per athlete, he would have to donate $

In terms of title IX repercussions, there very much is.

It depends on social pressure. For places like Silicon valley, the ultimate status symbol is being a founder, which inherently involves inventing (what a founder would call) important stuff. It's similar in Israel. Heck, there, startup

If we're solely talking about underpaid, then the absolute peak value of a college football player at the top of the game is probably under 10 million. IMO, the value of Saban is probably closer to 60 or 70 million[0], so he is more un

No, the number of scholarships is the issue, not the source of the dollars.

Football in general provides massive benefits to Universities. 1. Football (and mens basketball) are forced to pay more or less for the rest of all the other sports on campus[0]. Because of Title IX, student athletes/scholarships provi

Rum is generally made from fermented molasses, though not always. Sugar base would make it closer to cachaça, a Brazilian liquor.

Yeah, amazon recruiters seem almost intentionally siloed off from one another. I’ve been contacted by a recruiter recently even though I have already signed my offer and start there in a couple weeks.
