A tax would also affect old homes. This proposal only affects new homes. It's really a slow phaseout. People are getting upset over nothing. You're not all buying new homes anyway.

There's this thing called a fan that's inside your furnace. If the electricity goes out - you're gonna die of cold anyway because there's no way to move the heat from the furnace through your ductwork.

I used to not really be for these bans but - the big issue that I find is that due to the gas lobby, we're not going to make progress on this front until hard hitting regulations come in. As long as you have a pipe that is being servic

HN is a very Silicon Valley focused website. $150k in SV isn’t very much at all. You get more than that even at startups as a senior engineer. New grads at FAANG will get at least that or more.

Those apartments aren’t cheap though. They’re still expensive compared to other parts of the country.

Comes with a different set of problems - tbh. The women I'm looking for need to be single and in a similar socioeconomic bracket. Those two things are basically impossible to find together.

It's a lot like that in all of SV tbh.

I don't know my current neighbors at all (I live in an apartment building with 150+ units) and I'm fine with that. However, when I was in a house... I met some. They were often the worst kind of people. The most NIMBY neolib white

Cause we have an economy that has atomized everyone to where you have to fight for your own survival - constantly. I'd love having some of my friends be my neighbors. But I had to move cross country just to find a partner because livin

The answer is no. No, it isn’t easy and no you will not get citizenship. Japan is notoriously difficult (impossible) to become a real citizen in.

I’m pretty sure they’re more okay with that than letting immigrants in. The Japanese have no interest in bringing different looking people into the country.

They don’t generally transfer for Ivys. Running start is something you do if you have no intention of going to prestigious private universities as it’s completely pointless (credits don’t usually transfer) and they don’t have a great proces

I can’t say I resonate with this article beyond the headline. I’m almost 33 and I’m single. Out of those years, I’ve spent over 27 of them completely single. When I say I’ve been married and had a five year relationship - it sounds quite ac

I don’t tell everyone but I still ask the question. Often, it’s a good signal if we’re going to get along. Also, as someone who is in the dating market - it’s one of the first questions I ask because outside of physical attraction, how much

There are many other professions which have similar gender gaps. They’re not talked about because the professions aren’t growing as fast and don’t make as much money for such relatively low time investment.

> small tech company with about 300 engineers. This is not a small tech company. This is medium to large. If the company itself has over 1,000 employees - it's a large company. It's just not a giant company like any of the FA

I’ll balance it out because you’re getting selection bias with how you asked this question. I never got contacted. For me, I assume it’s because every employer in SV is overloaded with candidates and doesn’t need to seek them out on HN. (I

I included women in the comment as well. We’re just focused on the remote digital nomad type - which is often men.

Be honest. The reason you take the second candidate is because they’re easier to exploit. Jfc - I know a lot of founders personally and they’ll all say that in private. You’re online - on an anonymous forum. You’re not at risk for saying so

It's just a popular place for remote people. The usual white digital nomad bro who goes there to sleep around. (Plenty of women doing this too btw) It's a nice spot but it's just for fucking around in your 20's. (Or 30&#

Yeah, the whole reason these practices even exist in the US is purely due to compensation. If the compensation was lower - no one would bother. This is why you see companies that do these practices but don't pay FAANG wages having a mu

I'm going to guess you can't do leetcode then either because it's essentially pair programming - minus the part where you're working together.

I've experienced the exact same thing. People would go, "After seeing your resume and noticing you made X software by yourself, I immediately installed it and it worked great. I just wanted to say thanks!" Proceeds to ask me
