This, basically. The kinds of parties being described aren't all that unusual for the bay area. It's certainly not isolated to tech. Meet interesting people, network. You'll figure it out eventually.

I doubt anyone in the silicon valley believes that. Most large tech companies have engineering centers in India doing real work and there are quite a few Indian expats here doing serious engineering work. I think the reputation you describe

How about these: Dual-booting on an XPS15. Running Ubuntu and Win10. I've had fewer problems with Ubuntu than Win10. Had a HiDPI version of the same laptop at the last gig. Both Windows and Linux had some issues which were easier to

The latter statement proves the former. A good manager prioritizes management over work that an individual contributor might do. If that doesn't suit a person, they're likely not fit for management. I've seen many managers

I recently interviewed a whole string of experienced engineering managers. My interview style tends to be pretty open ended. Most of the folks I interviewed were eager to talk about specific technical achievements they and their team acco

Unless they're a founder, the amount of equity you're giving them, no matter how much, is insufficient to ask someone to regularly work more than 40 hours a week. Sorry man, it just doesn't work. People will do it, mostly yo

Not having kids implies having a shrinking workforce which will have deleterious economic effects for everyone. At least until the robots replace most of us.

There's a reason why an area of California is referred to as "the emerald triangle". Definitely lots of green.

Not sure where to jump into this thread: There are many good reasons the bay area is the hub of tech development. It all started with proximity to two very good computer science schools; Stanford and UC Berkeley. At this point, there are

In a large bureaucratic corporation, individuals are never "fired". They are "managed out". Check out the book Corporate Confidential.

Your employer is making more money off of your work output than they're paying you. I think you may be confused about who may be the privileged one in the relationship.

Assuming the events happened as described, the fact that the manager was not immediately terminated makes the CEO directly culpable for illegal behavior. So, yeah.

Cutco is crap. Part and parcel of using a knife is learning to sharpen one. Counter-example: Tojiro DP... Amazing knives for the price.

Sorry, I was confused by the part numbers. I was thinking of the 6028u based system that have 12x3.5" drives. These are what I used for my OSD nodes in my Ceph deployment. As for CPU density, I still feel like you're going to ne

Just a few quick notes. I've experience running ~300TB of usable Ceph storage. Stay away from the 8TB drives. Performance and recovery will both suck. 4TB drives still give the best cost per GB. Why are you using fat twins? Honestl
