It's possible, just probably not a great idea

State run will be cheap and I'll tell you right now that cheap mental hospitals are not high value. They are prison lite™. It probably makes sense financially though. I don't want to pay any premiums to help out people with asthma

You can rent rooms and regular cars for cheaper than that day rate on the camera. Not a proper comparison, in my opinion, even if I agree that the self driving car costs might not make sense initially.

They would either need funded or the founders would have to bring in a lot of cash. Driver acquisition isn't cheap. Then there's the question of which city you start in. The mega corp could probably just cut prices in that city un

While I am satisfied with my HDHP + HSA, I'd be a lot more worried if it were my only option (I'm only young for now) or if I didn't make/save as much. People are getting hit with HDHP only and no HSA? That's rough.

Nonono. That's an FSA. You can hold on to your HSA indefinitely and withdraw for medical reimbursement at any time (decades later).

"Having to live in the bay area" could be seen as negative value that the company was formerly "providing". Is it equivalent to a 30% pay cut? Probably not. Is it worth at least 15k a year (post tax, so more like 20k min

"an" outage is different from a global outage though. I'm not sure what the SLA is on a single region, but going down 0-2 times per year is a reasonable expectation, depending on the length of each one. If you want more, you

A whole half percent of his net worth. Some people lose more, relatively, by getting a cat/dog.

I want you to work hard, I just need you to be paid more (hopefully a lot!). I'm saying it's better if I'm paid less than you. What I don't want is for you to put in more effort for the same pay and establish a "n

Even in the past, you could use agile. e.g. roads. It's only constructions like cathedrals that you can't really use until it's nearly complete. Imagine having to wait until 2015 for Google to ship its first suite of products

Naw. You're underhyping it. Creating this artificial ceiling in the low 6 figures is awful, regardless of how badly people making less than that are getting screwed. As far as I'm concerned, they're as hopeless as a bucket of

Exactly. To me, if the sheet is larger than what I can keep on a decent sized screen, it's probably time to move it. Not definitely, but probably.

No way they'll make it easier to sell. That's not solving a problem for the business. They need to keep the carrot dangling.

I didn't pay a college and skip out on 4 years of full time work to compare my work life balance options to your delivery driver buddy. He's simply not at the table in the conversation. I don't care about his situation. That

That's probably because you were talking to " CS-ish PhD students". First of all, they're looking to validate the choice they made in lieu of becoming a millionaire. It helps them sleep at night to think Google or whatev

It's "pissing in the pool" for the rest of us. I know it feels validated internally because it worked out for you though. Even when I did a startup, I held pretty normal hours. Working on someone else's problem to make

Even if it seems high, you get a lot more for the money. $1700 will get you a luxury 1bd (600+sqft), new/recent construction, a pool, bbqs, "sky lounge", 5-20 minute walk to work, and so on. From what I can tell, it takes mor

Right. The house itself isn't interesting. It's the land + limits on making high rises. Those that already own have a strong incentive to kick the ladder down, so to speak, and try to make it so that no new houses can be made.

It's only a losing proposition for those that are borderline retarded and think that driving Lyft or bartending is worth it in the city. Who cares though? They opted to grind it out and provide services to rich people and middle class

This. Silicon valley is leaking, starting with places that have huge amounts of cash and have already hired everyone they can in the Bay. They'll start by offering a few people to transfer with same pay to a way lower cost of living ci

Define high (at least the ballpark). I had a much different experience in the same city. I doubled my pay by coming back home.

If you're a Taiwan local that is able to sell the local talent in the form of offshore services for even 70% of US rates or even just have a remote job that pays well, you will have a Lambo/early retirement/whatever faster th

Anyone dealing with requests per second at their level is a tech company to a greater capacity than most companies will ever be. Do they create software as a service, hardware, and so on? No, but they are a group of practitioners that are r

You having seen it doesn't mean it isn't awful. Never mistake "common", or even "not rare", with "good" It also doesn't sound like everyone found out at the same time.
