There are good reasons why people don't like SF but why should people who do like SF care or try to convince them otherwise? I don't like Dallas but I don't think people who do like Dallas need to get out of their headspace

SF has its problems to be sure. California has its problems too though whether or not those problems are better or worse than problems in any other place is unclear - the media treats SF and California as though they are one and the same.

I love SF and I'm happy the population is going down. These articles are posted once a week and trumpeted as some sort of victory and I can't imagine who they think is shedding tears over this. Sometime people wave their hands to

I don't rely on door-to-door salesmen to give me detailed information about my energy consumption. There are plenty of calculator online, and reputable solar companies ( who do not sell door-to-door in my experience ) will be happy to

My experience has been that some companies pressure engineers to want to advance. If you come into a performance review and say "actually I'm happy where I am" it's seen as a lack of motivation and will count as a mark a

The Economist is such a strange magazine sometimes. It seems to think California is falling from some Golden Age without much but hand-wavy references and oddball stats. > "the state’s demography is now at odds with Californians’ s

I love the vision of trying to manage this with multiple kids with different candy dislikes and likes. It'd be a free-for-all to see who could get you to throw the most of their siblings favorite candy. Honestly I think they'd

This is a popular gripe during the current political discussions about college debt but I think it drastically undersells the benefits of college degrees that are non-STEM and drastically overestimates the quality of life for people who get

Gen Z's parents are my age or younger and IME there were few people who graduated with a high school diploma and bought a house. I bought my first house at 39 though obviously the housing bubble had a lot to do with that. I never fel

It's ironic to me when men marry for any reason besides wanting a docile helpmeet and then complain that their partners have real ambitions, opinions, and goals.

She's providing for the household by taking care of everything in their lives outside of his specific business functions. He should be making every reasonable effort to support her.

I'm the messy one ( and the wife ) in our situation and this article has made me think about my relationship. My takeaway is that I can sit and pout that my partner shouldn't be overreacting to a glass and I can sit and pout and s

I'm surprised they don't mention hangovers. I stopped drinking 4-5 years ago and since then I've noticed how many people have 2-3 drinks without a second thought. It's now clear to me how much of my tiredness and achin

I appreciate your response. As I said, I didn't understand the HC's role during this which was unfortunate. Another recruiter failure. I did match with the team after the interview which was part of the delay, but that is part o

In the off chance you're open to feedback... I don't understand why the hiring committee had to be the last step in a months long process. If I'd gotten though the 5 grueling interviews and heard a "no", that would

If I could do it again, I'd probably still go through the interviews but I'd have spent little if any time on prep. If they asked the knapsack problem and I couldn't code up a solution in 40 minutes, oh well - I tried.

I'm still holding on to a slight hope that the recruiter will find a hiring manager willing to override the committee and all of my time and effort will not have been wasted. They said they'd keep looking but they were probably j

I'll blame stackoverflow. It's lead us to believe that anything but a precise, specific questions with clear use cases and previous attempt is going to get scolded for not meeting the guidelines. It takes time to formulate a good

I've found the problem with venting can be that it cements an idea in your head. This is particularly true with people. If I find myself venting that <X> doesn't know what the heck they're doing, I've internally s
