Boulder doesn't 'want things' as an entity. The people that will be hurt by Google moving in were not the people clamoring for large employers for well-off people in the first place. So it's not a case of wanting things

But many will want to, and that's enough to impact the market there significantly. No Googlers are forced to live in Mountain View either. That doesn't change the fact that Google employees fight for houses in Mountain View. Peopl

Yeah, unfortunately it puts you lower on the totem pole as a software engineer. This results in lower salaries in general for developers there compared to the bay.

Maybe the assumption is that you can earn 4% pretty easily on it and live on that.

The implication is that since they can only count to 3 they think it's safe to enter after 3 of the 4 leave. This allows the remaining one to shoot at the baboons.

But they didn't, did they. So what's the problem here? There is no problem with a big chunk of people holding a short position in a stock. Tesla has some big problems that traditional business people get concerned about (e.g. maki

It's pretty presumptuous to make that assertion unless you knew the person for many years in different work environments. I've seen lots of engineers become 'bad engineers' because of a myriad of environmental issues (ba

Using life expectancies only gives you a view of healthcare preventing deaths. There is a vast distance between barely alive and a good quality of life.

The important distinction here is the pace. I can use a Ubuntu server LTS version and not have to stay on top of weekly development release announcements from upstream. With k8s lacking LTS, it forces you to drink from the firehose.

This reads like a giant ad for GKE. It emphasizes several times to just use GKE for pretty lame reasons (Google has good SREs and Google started the project). The people that work on upstream k8s in Google (Tim et al) have a pretty limited
