Not at all - see senior dev engineer salaries at Google [1]. High 2xx seems reasonable. I may have missed GP's comment about being in finance, otherwise I don't see the relation to finance salaries. 1. https://www.glass

It's pretty hard to order something via Alexa - I know, my friends have tried to order me several things ranging from sex toys to more Echos. Never worked. Please don't spread nonsense.

Those who have seen their housing valuations triple still need to live somewhere. If they want to collect that profit (paper profits otherwise, with sometimes very real taxes), they must sell. They then have to buy a new place to live and s

Absolutely - not everything is a service (yet). It's not sexy, but if you only ship your bits every month or every two weeks then you shouldn't have 2am calls. Everything can wait til tomorrow (unless tomorrow you're shipping

I'm not sure if my view on this is complacency, fatalism, or somewhat valid, but I disagree. (I agree that it's broken, I don't think there's a good fix) A) we already have such an incentive in the form of long/shor

When Mao created the notion of the Three Worlds, he included China in the Third World [1]. It was (ostensibly) unaligned, whereas Europe (and to an extent Japan) was aligned, making it Second World. He (via Deng) specifically called out the
