More what I was trying to say is that we're focused on short term gains in affordable housing (the 25%) instead of maintaining our current 12% and focusing on total volume of new housing - whether it's luxury or not.

Something I suspected was the case but hadn't heard the term - or seen any research on. In SF the battle is over what will happen in the next 5 to 10 years. In that context it is politically dangerous to support market rate "luxur

It depends on the timeline you're looking at. If you think of the next 5 to 10 years then building luxury condos doesn't help. However if you look at a 30 to 40 year timeline and we allow all the market rate houses to be built t

I'm into it - you should check out HipCamp.com who are doing something similar.

Where I work they're trying to combat this by creating tighter, more objective definitions of levels and putting people in those. The salary bands within a level are relatively small. This cuts out a lot of the crap. You can still nego

"The ones who just want to live more cheaply end up miserable because this is not California North." Why do you think that is? I'm interested in it due to the lifestyle but also the idea of being able to afford to bootstrap m

Limiting the increase percentage would be one way to account for this. The rise in prices of real estate would be limited by the taxation amount - we wouldn't see the current level of property price inflation if it weren't for 13.

Minor point but surprised that for such a major release the site isn't mobile optimised.

Aha. And my reply was less relevant to my personal knowledge of Periscope, more relevant to other similar acquisitions - including others by Twitter.

I'm also not so sure that occupational licensing is the primary driver of the cost of healthcare in the US.

I know that. Edit: I guess this is speculation but I know many, many specific examples of companies who have had early exits in this range that have come about due to personal connections. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to connect

I've heard similar arguments against "labs" teams. "everyone should own innovation in an organization versus a specific team". I think there is culture risk as a result but if it's delivering results and if the

Dig the idea and think there is commercial capacity for it. Potentially include product manager as well? Check out what 3wks.com.au do on a small scale but I wonder if for multi-year projects you might want a team with more practical experi

This was not a zero risk business. There is no such thing as zero risk. He made a 5x revenue exit, a life changing decision. Only someone with a time machine could calculate if his business would survive 5+ years it would need to take provi

They claim that it's because they can't patent their inventions and are instead relying on trade secrets. Revealing their trade secrets wouldn't make them trade secrets anymore.

Any idea how long the tax "credit" against the loss is in effect for? ie if I take a loss of $100k this year on my options and make a capital gain of $200k in 10 years time can I offset that gain w/ the $100k loss? Will speak

The main difference is that in the examples you mention there is a significant disparity in remuneration when compared to software engineering. If there are societal reasons which encourage women to pursue industries other than STEM, these

I noticed a ton of this around Christmas time last year. At first I thought "this is super helpful" but soon turned to distrust.

Do you think that's the case here? Personally I thought this was an awesome use of the dataset and introduced me to some new books I hadn't considered.

Would be good to see a plot of housing prices in SF during the last bubble and the post-bubble ramifications. We've been here before so not including that graph seems strange.

An alternative narrative is that One Wheel are manufacturing in China - or purchasing multiple components from Chinese factories - and their plans were leaked to another factory owner. This is relatively common. In this scenario the Changzh
