Oakland offers a relatively short commute into SF, and it's affordable by west coast standards.

It's not just LA anymore, 90+ minute commutes are common in Seattle and Portland as well, often for surprisingly short distances in terms of mileage. The traffic and congestion in the trendy west coast cities is terrible. Many of these

I know a few people who did this with commodities, but they gave it up after a while to pursue something totally unrelated. It appeared their assessment was that it can work for a while until suddenly it doesn't.

Singapore does this. Their health care costs are significantly lower than the USA.

Much of it is about what is trendy, what is the cultural mecca of the moment. Unfortunately the overcrowded west coast continues to dominate the trendseekers mindset, which is why you have ridiculous housing prices all over, a severe homele

Almost anyone at a hospital or university setting is on salary. Private practice can be another story, and perhaps there your argument would be more compelling. But many physicians, surgeons, specialist go into private practice to get out o

Or so little, with regard to apps. Many consumers scoff at spending $5, or even $1, on an app, but they'll willingly blow it on a drink that will be consumed in 10 minutes.

Outside of major cities, the rate drops substantially. Also, many more women than men are college educated now, which is distorting dating in interesting ways, since most women (and some men) tend to want to date someone who is at least the

I doubt it. Water finds its own level. Most people date/marry someones equally attractive, from an equal class, with equal education. That's fairly standard and always has been, which is why most people marry someone from their co

>As anyone and everyone will tell you, lack of apps killed it. I am not convinced of this. Aside from the widely used social networking apps, most people just use default apps on their phones for email, the web, and text messaging. Kids

I also miss it and am disappointed Microsoft did not more aggressively pursue Windows Phone. It was fast, unique, and offered legitimately good competition to Apple and Google. Continuum remains a fantastic idea, frankly I am surprised Appl

How about abandoning the Touch Bar instead? Apple should ditch it entirely, or at least make it optional on all MacBook Pro models.

Of course you can learn to be more creative, it's a matter of practice. If you want to be more creative, start creating. The more you create, the more creative you get.

Not too surprising based on economics alone. Presumably a security professional selling a usable exploit to a company like Celibrite pays far better than the $0 that comes from releasing it as a "jailbreak" to the general public.

Perhaps you're thinking only of restaurants, because healthy food is far cheaper than fast food or any restaurant food in general, but it does require going to any grocery store and then spending a few minutes cooking.

Yes, you can see that quite clearly with any trip into a public space. But 70% is a low estimate for many parts of the country. And morbid obesity is becoming extremely common as well. Obesity and the fat epidemic will bankrupt the US healt

That will sound crazy to people not from the west coast or Manhattan, but it's not as crazy as it sounds. A house price-to-income of 1.5x - 3x was long considered normal, and is still obtainable in middle America, the south, upstate NY
