I used to live in a condo building directly across the street from El Palo Alto. Walked by it every morning. Like the article says, it's in a small park right next to the Caltrain tracks, and you probably wouldn't take notice of i

"This is not true, those who held crypto earlier will have more weight." I think this is a really important and interesting point. The late majority and the laggards and the uneducated poor will be essentially shut out. They will

"To understand why native graph technology is so efficient, we step back in time a little to 2010 and the coining of the term index-free adjacency by Rodriguez and Neubauer. The great thing about index-free adjacency is that your graph

I don't disagree and I think I should have clarified that if you're the type of young man who has trouble dating (in the sense that you find yourself to be awkward, or have mostly bad dates), and can't seem to connect with wo

I agree with you that this route probably isn't best for _most_ men, which is why I said that it makes "some" sense, but I should have clarified that it's not broadly advisable (even by someone like myself who took this

"Too eager, too indifferent, too clingy, too distant, etc... you're gonna be terribly out of practice at it all." These are generally personality traits of someone who is not well adjusted. If you are the type of person who c

If a young main in his 20s is dissatisfied with the dating culture and prospects, it makes some sense to just forget about dating until early 30s and instead use all of that time and freedom to focus on establishing yourself. If you can foc

I wonder what percentage of people in El Salvador have enough money to "put into BTC". Wouldn't most of the poor population be living essentially hand to mouth and spending their meager amount of money on daily food and shel

Are you talking about LA? SF is the only city in the US where every resident is technically within a ~10min walk to a public park. And among my group of friends here I can definitely say that hiking and getting into nature is the most commo

I've actually had an incident of e-commerce fraud related to my checking account quite a while ago, and Ally Bank conducted a week-long review and determined it was fraudulent, put the money back in my account, and sent me a new debit

My bank accounts and credit cards have all essentially forced modern 2FA implementation over the past few years (USA). And the handful of times I've had fraudulent activity on my cards, it's been reversed and settled within a matt

I wonder how much the $5 billion sunk cost from the new(ish) office has to do with this, or if Apple is just clinging on to their original, conservative view on WFH.

Agreed 100%. I hope that medically assisted suicide becomes more widely legal and acceptable by the time I get towards my end. I didn't ask to be brought into this world and when my body and mind start to really deteriorate, and I can

I factored it in casually but didn't do any arithmetic. My point wasn't really that 95k is a lot, but it's a pretty solid starting salary in any city. Certainly more than my starting salary out of college.. by about 30k. And

by clpm4j 5y ago
For sure. But every cop has to deal with those thoughts, and most do it for far less than $95k. At the very least it seems enticing enough to attract a sizable pool of applicants.

I live in SF but I admit I don't really keep up with politics and policy as much as I should. Is our police force actually strapped for resources? I saw an ad on a muni stop the other day for SF Police that highlighted a starting salar

That's certainly true. A career in tech became widely popular and trendy for millenials and now zoomers (I believe CS is now the most popular undergraduate major across US colleges?). Basically once people realized you can make more mo

A seemingly significant part of it is because the young talent wants to live in SF and not commute 1+ hours to an office park in the South Bay. I think SF also offered incentives for tech companies to set up shop in the city in the 2009-201

Except the people at the top think that they themselves are the ones responsible for the profits, and there are plenty of people willing to step in and act as the foot soldiers, so those at the top have no incentive to share.

The bike and the instructors are best-in-class. All of the accessories (shoes, weights, apparel, etc) that I've picked up have been cheap (but expensive) and underwhelming. Can't speak to the treadmill, but this recall article say

Yes. See the Blackstone Group and its related investments in US residential housing. They reportedly made around $7 billion recently through one of their single-family and multifamily housing investment vehicles, which owns > 80,000 home

When I made ~$150k in SF, that equated to $8k/month after-tax. $2k/month for a decent studio/1-bedroom apt near Golden Gate Park. I felt very comfortable and very much enjoyed my quality of life on that salary.

a16z had such a big win with Coinbase that maybe they can afford to take a flyer on Clubhouse? Doesn't make sense to me, but I'm sure the partners at a16z are much smarter and more tuned in than I am.

Isn't the value of a house what someone is willing to pay for it? There are still a lot of people buying homes in the Bay Area to live in. There are just a lot of rich people in the area, so they're willing to pay the price that t
