You're in Japan, yeah? Seems like that might be a barrier if you're applying for SV jobs.

I'm pseudonymous for a reason but here's a list of companies, none of which I am employed at, that have similar pay and issues with staffing: Uber, Doordash, Asana, AirBnB, Pinterest, LinkedIn and literally so many more. Especiall

I literally can’t relate to this on any level. I’m an HM at a company that pays on the order of a FANG and at best matches one of these credentialist barriers and yet we can’t come close to hiring targets on devs. I don’t get how people can

But why on earth call it that? It's the same number of syllables, more letters, additional punctuation and also not in common use. So odd.

Why are you so wed to the idea that these protocols are in some sense correct? So many people have basically asserted infallibility for the CDC/FDA throughout this pandemic despite their consistent failures across huge swaths of the re

Yes, you can. Tokyo and Houston are perfect counterexamples. Obviously government is required for the planning and zoning reform aspects but the idea that any solution to housing price issues isn't building more is non-sensical. Sing

I mean, yeah clearly? Your own source for what is nearly the worst case in the world is ongoing investment of “US$200 per capita and year”. Look at how much the home values have increased! Do you really think that’s not trivially extractabl

It's like your comment was completely void of any kind of validity and it was easy to immediately look for evidence to the contrary of one of your major points. I'm sure it would be trivial to counter the point around water. Just

Obviously the entire point of this thread is to disparage humanity and not come to meaningful conclusions. For your own sanity, just leave the anti-humanists to their own devices.

That "debunking" is comical. They compared the median wage of a giant metropolitan area to that of a subset of it which is ridiculously impoverished. What's more is the comparison of wages says nothing about other benefits
