Because it gets old listening to the same tired uninformed troupes from some random person on the internet that is just regurgitating misinformation. For people that actually live in San Francisco this is a real issue that affects our daily

That does not mean the funds did not come from overseas. It is common that it will be passed through a local resident, by way of LLC, for the actual purchase.

On the topic of polite society, please be mindful that the word “entitlement” is often used to attack and harm others emotionally. It might be more inclusive to chose something like “expectation” or “assumption”.

I think this is a strange thing to hear from being a bit older. 30-40 years ago, most people did not spend their time reading the paper and watching TV. There was vastly more time spent interacting directly with friends and family as well a

Idk. I think your comment sums up a general change that internet based interaction has created. I used to think it was generational but now I think it has more to do with spending most of your socializing online as opposed to in person. In

This is trumpeted around and actually put into production every once in a while. The reason opaque pagination is an antipattern is because you can’t optimistically fetch resources. So your customer, the person that paying you for your produ

I always make a copy and then share that when I’m ready. This is the only method I’m aware of to remove history.

We’ve seen Facebook employment ads already used to specifically target younger people. It’s more about excluding people from advertising as opposed to including. If you think of it from that angle it won’t take too much imagination to see t

It’s interesting as an older person to realize that Americans born in the 90s and later have no real concept of the amount of crime and violence that was widespread in US.

I don’t know if you can still delete this, but this is way too specific and way too many people read HN for your co-founder to not see this. I would email dang at hn@ycombinator.com to see if they can at least delete the body of this post.

The reason this is happening right now is because the other founder is well aware of that cliff and losing 10% going forward.

>I don't always need to have n+1 layers in my architecture where all the layers just call the next layer anyway. This is by far the most common thing I’ve seen consistently in especially difficult to maintain codebases. Anecdotal

This is because, at least in California and New York, jaywalking is not a crime. It is a civil infraction. This means there is no criminal record or court/jail time. It’s a ticket just like a parking or speeding ticket. I find it hard

To be honest, I don’t think most people that have been working for startups for more than fives years even think much about their stock options unless they are like engineer no 1 or 2. And honestly that is often a minimum 10 year commitment

This is kind of what fair trade certification tries to address. The issue is that a company like Apple will require in the contract certain things like wage minimum or environmental requirements, but the winning bid will be below the amount

Yes. Significantly different. Do you realize that metropolitan areas in US are not even 50% white or Christian or likely any of the other stereotypes people have of the US outside of the US. Many cities in the US provide documentation in o

I believe it misses the fact that there are very different cultures within Washington or Texas. For example, Austin is very different from Houston and even north Houston is very different from south Houston. Eastern Washington is completely

That isn’t really accurate. There is much more diversity in individual states depending on where you are than in most European countries. That statement is kind of what I mean. I don’t think most people outside, and to some extent inside th

I definitely think Europeans and others from homogeneous or smaller countries struggle to understand the variety and diversity of culture of the United States.

The reason for that is because most insightful people do not have an externally visible firm position on most things. There is bias in your experience because the people you see with these highly visible entrenched beliefs are a subset of a

Wait until you learn that people frequently extort the sellers by threatening bad reviews for perfectly good products unless they receive a significant refund of the purchase price.

It’s one thing I’ve always struggled with organizations like GNU. There is a vested interest in convincing me of something as opposed to being as up front and obvious as possible. They aren’t trying to teach me as much as they are trying to

So then how is this the CEO when the board actually controls who the CEO is? The CEO is employed by the grace of the board. The performance and decision making of CEO is implicitly approved or disapproved by the board of directors decision

According to this report the income of people just now moving in was $84k which as you mentioned is wildly incorrect.

No. It’s the board of directors. The board of directors is by proxy of the shareholders, is the actual owner in a practical sense of a corporation. The CEO can, in most cases, be removed at any time by the board and be replaced by someone e

I sincerely want to know who can afford to live in Tribeca on $140k per year. Let alone $84k. I wouldn’t put too much weight into this data.

You just described the real issue with prop 13. Partially occupied and investment properties by individuals. The insanely low real estate tax increases over time make California real estate investments more appealing to small scale investor
