In school we were taught that Ford had done an analysis and concluded the legal damages would be less than the cost of the fix. Not sure if my professor was just whistling Dixie, but if that’s true the author left out an important part of t

My mom had a psychotic break a few years back. My whole family let it go on for weeks, with the attitude “she’s an adult” etc. As you reference in your threat about your kids, I knew the consequences of going against her will. However, when

A cautionary tale for you: I was in a similar situation a few years ago, working at FAANG and living in SCV. Wanted a house more than anything. Eventually, got relocated to a lower COL area and finally accomplished my dream of owning a home

Just bought a house and have years of pent up renovation energy :) So my big passion now is learning how to do contractor type stuff, drywall, sweating cooper, tile, electrical work. Almost done demoing the kids’ bathroom with my wife. Abou

Consider cost of living and taxes in the Bay Area as well. These salaries would be extreme in a place like Idaho but in the Bay Area your money can quickly disappear.

First, there are ladies here as well. Second, there are some functions of society that may operate better outside a capitalistic system. One could make the argument that the police are a necessary function of society that should not be gove

Remote work while doing childcare is something I would not wish on anyone. Definitely not an upgrade in my experience

We were paying $3k or higher per kid when we lived in the Bay Area. Some people might be coming from a very different perspective on what constitutes a good price.

Genuinely wondering how anything beyond a 4:1 ratio is bad? My kids are in daycare in TX with well over a 4:1 ratio and seem like they are doing fine. What sorts of downsides are you referring to?

My google coding interview was much l33t. He asked me a graph search question. However at the time I didn’t know what a graph was. I’m self taught. But I did understand the ask, which was to find a path through a series of locations. I also

Was going to say something similar. Having grown up in a small idyllic town, there was beauty in the slow struggle to live there. OP would do well to try and learn the culture before seeking to change it. There’s value beyond “cheaper house

I only have two kids, not four like the author, but I can say it’s impossible to have a real conversation sometimes.

Ha. I can understand your pov for sure. We (family with two kids under the age of 4) just moved to Texas, been in there ER once, urgent care twice, had stomach flu, ear infection, viral rash, a flat tire, water damage in the house we bought

I learned about this from my mom. She’s a giver, but to the point where we don’t want the stuff. We appreciated the thought, but she would bring so many toys for our daughter it was overwhelming and we didn’t Have that much space. It was cl

My wife is the same way. Words mean little, actions are her love language. Words are mine. My assumption is everyone means what they say. I tend to take things too literally sometimes. It’s been hard to figure that out about each other, but

Can you describe in more detail what you view as hyperbolic? I’m assuming the reference was to Roe v. Wade, but would like to hear more.

This misses the point remarkably completely. It’s not about folks feeling judged. It’s about folks being prosecuted for receiving an abortion. Google’s collection of personal data could make the prosecution pretty easy if it were compelled

I once failed a leet code graph problem because I solved it with a genetic algorithm. The problem wasn’t that I was incapable of solving the problem, it was the narrow view of possible solutions. The interviewer was looking for the CS101 so

Don’t worry friend, it’s about the savings rate, not the savings return. Just keep putting a little in here and there. Don’t put in anything you can’t afford to lose and it’ll turn out alright

Nah. A buyer can easily outbid an all cash offer. In fact, if you offer 100% over asking price you’re almost guaranteed to win ;)

The real harbinger here is ad spend. Can't all be TikTok disruption, what we are seeing (IMO) is an indication of broad market slowdown. Companies cut ad spend first.

Awesome idea! One bit of feedback: I found the timed accordion about your product to be distracting while I was reading. I felt pressure to read quickly and concentrate, which I’m guessing was the intended effect. However, I’m a parent of t

My biggest gripe with returning to the office is the inability to determine and enforce priority. At home, if you slack me and you’re not my top priority right now, I can ignore you or politely reply that I’ll be with you shortly. In the of

Market trends to me are essentially a combination of mood swings and adversarial networks. My guess is Musk and a few key players are acting in a logical way and the rest of the price action is made up of emotional response. It’s anyones gu

This title sounds very disconcerting until you realize the “brain damage” is actually damage to the nervous system (located in your nose). I lost my sense of smell years ago from another issue, it’s a minor inconvenience for me now. I say t
