NYC is NYC. There is an army of wealth who would never suffer the loss of caste incurred by leaving.

This is wonderful, thank you for sharing it. Were there any obvious differences between the two camps in terms of performance, career satisfaction, tenure at the company, etc?

I'm not the OP, but for me it's converting statistical analyses done in Rmarkdown to PDF or HTML.

Where would you go though? Always interested in hearing people's answer to that.

Where are you thinking of moving? I live here for more than the job, so just wondering what other cities are on the radar.

Immunity is often a spectrum. Nothing is black and white in biology.

What does wrong even mean in these contexts? You can't reliably evaluate a probability model with n = 1 test cases.

It's not the US, it's the Bay Area... prices for many things, including wages, are very different here than elsewhere in the country.

When Cramer coined the FAANG acronym, Netflix was included. That group of companies was grouped together by investors due to their performance and marked dominance at the time, which has by and large continued. In addition to their stock pr

FAANG engineers definitely do, especially with a few years of tenure. My SQL-slinging data analyst friends at Netflix start at 350-400 base, and the sky is the limit. Now, if you don't work at FAANG, you're probably averaging in t

Thank you for sharing this, these are fair comments. My experience has been more positive, but I see the truth in many of your points. For what it's worth, I have always been involved in controlled experimentation, and never anything r

Perhaps something software-adjacent, such as a statistician.

A very amusing (to me) take on this is the Emacs Antinews section of the manual.

I don't know if this is true for many people who live here. There is a subgroup of my friends who live in the city and will drive almost every weekend for 30-60 minutes with their bikes and kayaks for recreation. If you avoid the popul

Salary, bonus, healthcare, dental, 401K, office space, taxes, equipment, ... employees are not cheap. That figure would be competitive in the Bay Area for quality dev work.

It's true in most luxury goods. In this case, instead of Louis Vuitton, George Ault was the brand being replicated. High-end mechanical watches are another example, where the "right" name on the dial definitely affects the de

If your herb was shown to improve abdominal pain in a certain population through use of well-executed, replicated randomized control trials, I think it would count as medicine, yes.

For me, not having to worry about the "where" and "how" related to physical placement and connection of that Ryzen box is worth the premium and then some.

When I was in elementary school in the 80s, someone in our district retrofit a school bus with two rows of computers running along the sides. The bus would travel to each school in the district once a month or so. We would all walk out to t

You're thinking about things correctly. The statistical and scientific methodology of clinical trials are by and large the same thing as A/B tests. I don't think anyone is drawing much from this sample of n = 11 except to say

While your point is a good one, meaningful clinical research is hard enough under normal conditions. Forms, enrollment, protocols, data collection, statistical analysis plans, reporting, etc. It's an entire industry used to operating i

Imagine a treatment that would being people back to life. Surely if you saw that 11 times you would believe it worked. In fact, after n = 1, you would be so amazed you'd be thinking there is a trick. The point is that, while N is impor

It depends what hours you are trying to count. In the office? Remote? Actually 'working'? Including shuttle time? In my FAANG circle, small N, none of those values would be above 40 hours a week, except possibly if you include shu

In this hypothetical trip to Japan, with airfare, lodging, food, drink, local transportation, and luxury knife purchases (including duty), a 25 USD checked bag fee is 'hefty' and a 'big problem'?
