The problem with COL calculators is that 100% of your pay does not go to costs. You can't just say SF is 4x as expensive as Chicago so I need 4x the salary. The increased costs are a fixed number, not something that scales with salary.

I don't think the economics are much different in the US either. I have been eyeing some classic motorcycles for a while ('70s hondas, ~350cc) and they are less than half the price of the higher end cargo e-bikes. Like electric ca

I think you would have a similar problem as audio gear. You can know all of the specs but there is some hidden info in the processor/GPU architecture that is only determined by performance testing. Same as audio gear is mostly affected

Your site doesn't seem to say anything about being limited to SF on the main page. I was a little confused at first having not read your last line about being SF only and was trying to figure out how I could check if you were in Denver

If students are to wake with the sun in winter months, that would mean waking up at 8AM where I went to school. You would need to start school around 9:30AM since some students spent over 1 hour on the bus.

With 4 years of tenure they should have vested much of their stock, but I'm not sure when Uber started doing grants rather than options. If they had options they may not have had the cash to exercise.

I think most of the issues come from devices that trick the switch into operating in docked mode where it operates at a higher power state and can cause it to overdraw power from a charger. The switch doesn't abide by the standard usb-
