The same number of years passed (15) between the Game Boy (1989) and Nintendo DS (2004) as from the DS until now (2019). That surprised me, as the DS does not feel like the 'half way point'. Probably a lot to do with my age during

Not to be a pedant (too late), but you probably meant 'uniformly distributed' in this case.

$117k for a family of 4 qualifies you for Section 8 housing in much of the Bay Area.

Netflix's salary philosophy is "top of personal market" and they are almost all base. If they want you, they aim not to lose you because you got a higher offer.

An actual Netflixer can chime in, but as far as I know from friends who work there, Netflix is almost all base, no stock and no large bonus. My friends are data engineers with 3-5 YOE making about 400k base upon their hire, so I believe it.

In my opinion, the VR market in a bit of a holding pattern right now, and it's running out of opportunities. I personally believe if the Oculus Quest flops and/or Sony opts not to build a PSVR2 for the next-generation PS5, it&#x27

My car fob has never worked in the parking lot near the top of San Bruno Mountain just south of SF. I've assumed the proximity to Radio Peak is the culprit.

Seconded that org-mode sounds like a good place to start.

Stunning. I flew out of SFO yesterday morning and as we flew over the city, a thick white layer of fog covered everything except the very top of Sutro Tower. Very sublime, it looked like a cloud sea with blue skies above.

In my experience, certainly a large number of jobs advertised at 'data scientist' would be exactly as you describe. Emphasis on the 'cleaning' part.

The tradeoff is that many folks in SF who would eat at places like this are fairly inelastic (if not completely ignorant) to pricing of meals. So while your costs are high here, you have a population that can order an $X dollar bowl of mac

Not necessarily supporting this motion, but it would cause no one to drive to lunch. There are dozens of good options within a block or two of most tech companies in the city. It would probably cause an uptick in Uber Eats, Grubhub, Eat24 o

For those interested in the cultural and technical history of bringing the Famicom to the West, I can highly recommend "I am Error" by Nathan Altice. https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/i-am-error

Close. You need to build a product with which 800 people per second want to perform a credit card transaction.

Agree. I'm going to spend days of unpaid time 'cramming' for whatever random whiteboard questions I think they might ask me anyway. I'd rather put the time into showing how the work I actually do might be useful to their

I also use Gatsby for a blog, thank you for the software, exactly what I was looking for.

Were there paying passengers in those cars? I've seen the Fords around town, too, but I don't think they were carrying passengers.

Fussell's 'Class' book, although dated, is a useful guide for many of these questions. And a hilarious read.

Have you written a book or research publications on this topic? I've always wanted an update to Fussell's 'Class' for the internet generations, and this post is as close to that as I've seen. If you know others who

You can build your own bowl (completely customized) at Eatsa using their app. They also win on design and UX. I definitely recommend checking one out, it's really fun.

The statistic that went most against my intuition is that San Francisco has the one of the lowest 'rent burdens' in the US. That is, rent as a percentage of income is on the low end and equivalent with many Midwestern cities. I&#x
