It's not clear how much effort he went into corroborating with the bank. I'd certainly at least call them to confirm before spending the money.

First of all, you have the chronology right but the causation wrong. After conservative pressure to stop editorially reviewing news, fake news has increasingly trended. Since the election, people have realized how untenable this is and so F

I agree that saying "you're wrong" isn't an effective rhetorical technique, but trying to argue with alt-right trolls is a waste of effort. Sites like Snopes and Politifact do the research, with primary sources, to actua

Issues are often only addressed when they become important enough to have major consequences. That doesn't make reaction inherently political. The amount of conservative gaslighting out there today is really troubling. Any source which

I absolutely would. I'd probably call them to get some documentation that I'd tried to rectify the situation, but if they still want to keep giving me a line of credit I'd be buying up assets like crazy. You'd be a fool

If you can professionalize a certain set of ethics, you can make it impossible for your employer to find anyone to complete the job. For example, capital punishment is increasingly hard to carry out because anesthesiologists refuse to par

In my case, I was renting in Manhattan. When I've considered moving to SF I found plenty of comparable apartments for around $2.5k/m.

I think it makes sense to discount those factors, but ignoring them entirely is disingenuous. A company offering $100k in salary + $20k in bonuses and $80k in RSUs is paying significantly more than one offering $120k in salary with no bonus

Or just find a company that pays remote engineers SV salaries. They exist.

by morgante 10y ago
No. The housing market in SV makes renting cheaper than buying. On an engineer's salary, it is very doable to pay rent and still save up enough to buy an entire house in cash elsewhere in the country.

I went from a net worth of <$50k at age 20 to >$150k at 22, while never being particularly frugal at all. Heck, I didn't even have roommates. My monthly spending averaged $4k/m. NYC, not SF, but the difference isn't hug

You don't have an average salary for your experience. $4,000 * 12 is $48,000. Plus your $20k in purported savings is only $68k. That's only $100k in gross pay, which is the bare minimum for a developer in SV. Most new grads make m

This is part of why people incorporate in DE. The courts there make piercing the veil quite challenging.
925.
by morgante 10y ago
It's mostly because people don't realize how easy incorporation actually is. Also, lots of businesses are very low-margin (to the point where even the few hundred dollars for incorporation is a large expense).

That it's a "temporary setback" is small consolation to the native Americans. I'm sure the Holocaust was also just a "temporary setback" too, right?
