   When I see CNN saying San Francisco isn't that dangerous and comparing it to Houston, Atlanta, and Chicago, the thing that immediately comes to mind is how much more dense that crime is in San Francisco and how much that affects the sa

   I lived in SF for 8 years. SOMA. I was assaulted twice and mugged twice. I left because I was fearful for my life. And now my friend Bob is dead, exactly like how I thought I'd end up. Make of that what you will.

   I think crime per sq/mile is a good judge of how safe an area is to walk around in for instance.

   I mean, all you need to know San Francisco is dangerous is to look around while you are there.

    Bob was a good friend, tried to hire me numerous tries at Square, and was my next door neighbor for 3 years. I knew him well and spent a lot of time with him. He will be dearly missed. I have been told from very well placed sources in the U

    I also like the idea of using AI to create legal documents. Build a whole law firm around it.

    Thanks. I found it interesting I was the 25th person to go through this process and also the person to make it the furthest. Very telling.

    Ouch. I've lost girlfriends. I just came out of a nasty divorce though. I feel your pain.

    Please don't misinterpret my online comments as how I act in real life, lol. I'm very professional. I get fantastic, absolutely stellar performance reviews at every company. At the bank, they were required to put one negative thin

    I tried. As I said in another comment, as Chief Software Architect at one company, I built them a bank and added $800 million to their valuation. I asked for more salary and equity and was denied both over the course of 6 months. So I quit.

    I did leave. They lost hundreds of millions in valuation in a down round. Companies rarely understood the value I brought to them. You clearly do not understand.

    And wait, how are you being paid in equity without a cash out event? Is every company you're working for a success? None of what you are saying makes any sense. And of course I asked for more equity. They denied that too.

    I live in San Francisco man. Houses cost $1.5-4 million. Do you have any idea how expensive it is to live here? Maybe that's what's missing from the context.

    I built a bank that directly raised a company's valuation by $800 million, and they wouldn't give me a raise.

    I was pretty comfortable with that situation. I was bored to tears though.

    Everyone has different experiences in startups for sure. I know mine is unique and different but it is what it is.

    I think there's a healthy balance. I get a percentage of what he makes and he's fine with that. It's a much more honest relationship.

    How well we both manage contracts. It's both our jobs to source work. We're essentially business partners.
