As one those engineers who has worked in SV for 5 years, you definitely do not have to be in the top %5. You probably spent 4+ years of your life going to some sort of university to get a degree to help get something like 60k euro per year

I will curious about the performance. SSHFS/FUSE, expandrive /odrive renderings of your onedrive/cloud drive bucket and so on have been pretty bad in my experience.

Compensation wise it's still a better idea to move to the USA to work at google & co then. A typical goofacesoft sr engineer gets +$250k/yr total compensation + paid for health insurance with a %30-%40 total income tax rate as

It's because of the UX. Email has traditionally been letter sized messages, each message takes up your entire screen or some other large fraction. Email for most people is HTML flyers sent to them by companies so it would be difficult

We have the technology to build high rises that can withstand very strong earthquakes, and they have been proven multiple times in such earthquakes. "Earthquake" zone is not a reason to stop building. SF could improve greatly if

This needs apple to round out the comparisons. I've found their offers tend to be lower than the others in general unless you have specialized skills.

The sad reality is if your employed, you have good health insurance, and if your not, your visa isn't there either and your back to europe/canada with social services anyway :/ American also has Social Security & 401k (pe

A lot of congestion comes from cars looking for parking and cars not being shared with other people. The self driving cars are not going to be looking for parking, and can automatically scale what is on the road based on demand. They will

I look at SF and I see the strangest thing. Many new buildings that are built at 4 stories max. A big innovation is to give a whole 2 story density bonus! Wow 2! I know of small towns of 250'000 that build buildings that are 20 sto

States don't need that data because they can get even better data from telecoms & banks already with less hassle. They know your IMEI, billing information, credit card information and the location of your cellphone. Uber is compl

If rents are disconnected from housing prices, you're in a housing bubble. I think you're in vancouver too, so move away!

Where in canada do you live? Is there anything specific location wise that keeps you to a certain location? You probably could afford a house in alberta or quebec for example. But toronto and especially vancouver are economic bad ideas.

You could put on youtube. Each lottery that makes you a shit ton of money has a $5000 lottery ball machine cost. Or even a computer that looks at 1 lava lamp per lottery and uses it as it's constantly regenerating seed.

LVT implicitly incentivizes density. Assessors can determine your $1mm single family home close to a very dense business & housing district could potentially represent 12 $250k condos, which is $3mm of value and tax you as such. LVT

TBH it's very lazy of them to just copy your fairly standard bootstrap design and generic lighting bolt logo. If they just used some other similar template and chose some other logo but otherwise had the same business, they would be y

The reason why I don't live in seattle is because the only big employer HQs you have a choice of is MSFT and Amazon, both a negative in their own way. In the SFBA you have far more choice

Why would they even use a apple machine specifically for pixar, disney or some other animation house? They have a few cross platform apps they use and the option of creating huge beefy workstations that live at an office desk.

Very often you modify some upstream file and a 100 files have to be recompiled, so in an edit-build-test loop, it's very relevant. If you only have to rebuild one file, then everything is already usually very fast. When you don&#x27

Xcode scales to the number of CPUs that you have very well. Any kind of c-compiler usually scales the compile step very well to the number of CPUs you have. When I had a 12 core mac pro, my compile speeds were actually 3.4x faster than my

From interviewing and having friends that currently and have worked in facebook, google, apple and amazon, it's not like that at all.

For me amazon just seems like a bad deal compensation wise compared to other BigCos like facebook, google, apple, msft . Back loaded stock grants, lower pay, etc. Then add a high pressure big-company culture on top of that. I'll be

Slack is a web app too, it doesn't hold it back at all. Chat apps really don't need that much and the cross platform benefits of making a standalone webapp is numerous. Also being a chrome app means it can run on a chromebook, on

Boats are fundamentally slow and cannot dock at the center of a city where most jobs are, but it's edges. Docking and boarding/unboarding is a minimum 5-10 minute process too. A really fast ferry goes at 30 knots, which is aroun

It creates a built in incentive for NIMBYs to not block development, lest they feel the pain of increased 'rent' too. If the bay area built as many units at the rate of texas or seattle for example, none of this would of been a

Ferries are even slower and less reliable in my experience. If you didn't live where the track died, then you would still say BART is more reliable. I've noticed BART is less reliable in the edges vs the core of SF, berkeley and
