I'll take being the last generation to experience childhood without the internet and mobile phones, and it's not even close.

Twin Cities in MN (Minneapolis and St. Paul). If you can handle or even enjoy the winters, it's about as perfect a place as you can choose. Madison, WI also for something a bit smaller, but similar vibes.

I think a lot of the usage you reference is blindly picked up in corporate environments, and has little to do with trying to 'sound smart'. My wife laughs at my vocabulary on my Zoom calls. After listening to myself, I have to agr

A small collection of mechanical wristwatches. There is something very appealing about rejecting the wearing of a screen on one's arm. Not to mention they are beautiful. For tech, a Nintendo Switch.

Everyone misses the SF of their youth. As will current residents.

I love levels but the self-selecting group who reports their comp there cannot be used to reliably estimate the average, since they are not a random sample. I would guess propensity to report is correlated with higher TC.

Can confirm that mechanical wristwatches have experienced the same. Some MSRP $20k watches can resell for over $100k currently. Pokemon cards, watches, comics, video games, NFTs, houses, yachts, all are very hard to buy right now, even for

How well does Factorio performance correlate with job performance over different periods of time and different employee backgrounds? I don't see this mentioned in the article.

Let's use binary search instead :)

Yes, ColdFusion was the Allaire brothers. J.J. now does RStudio.

What's not believable about that? High or low?

They do appear on the mobile app. One person out of the hundreds I follow uses them, so therefore I am reminded that they exist, even though I never watch them. If that person happened to stop creating them, I would not know what they are o

When you flip a coin, it is either heads side up or tails side up as it rests on your thumb. This initial position may slightly affect how it ultimately lands.

As a former resident, you're not mentioning the elephant in the room -- October - May. I grew up in the Midwest, so I get it, it doesn't seem that bad. But after moving away, it's hard to imagine going back, or convincing oth

Exactly. No one was starting companies in the Bay Area because of how inexpensive it was.

Agree completely, no way to live. It was not sustainable, and only required after my job switched locations. I was working on alternative arrangements, but COVID gave me that.

Four hours seems like a realistic estimate for daily commute time for a SF <-> SV round-trip pre-COVID, especially on public transit. I did the same, it was 3-3.5 hours by car, and 4 by MUNI/Caltrain/Shuttle. If I lived clos

And the family, which is maybe the biggest draw for many of us. The more I think about it, the more I realize the choice of where you live is barely rational, if at all. Sure we come up with reason about why we are where we are post hoc, bu

For me (in SF): climate that matches what I want perfectly. The option for snow or beaches on the same day. The food, the diversity, the grittiness, the jobs, the history. And all my family lives here, too. The biggest one of all: walkabili

To define a new binary operator in R (which are just functions), it must be between % characters. %>% does not mean anything in base R.

I've heard this sentiment from several friends: It's not working from home, it's living at work.

It's possible you're weighting the events of 2020 far too heavily. See Lindy effect.

I have never personally seen a randomized study with anywhere near 40k+ participants for any cardiology or cancer-related treatment. Recruitment for this vaccine trial is much easier than studies with specific conditions like heart attack,

Definitely not. Nutrition and dietary studies are famously hard to draw any solid conclusions from due to the logistical challenges of performing quality studies (randomization, blinding, "placebo" effects, adherence, follow-up, .
