at the moment the comment immediately below this is advising folks to find an internship, and in many ways that's what you're describing - a role with a limited timeline and a low minimum bar, but within which some people will be

I would also add that Santa Barbara generally has some of the most delicious air i've experienced in a place that still has restaurants, stores, jobs, etc. It surely gets worse with proximity-to and volume-of car traffic but overall t

I've used credit karma for the last 2 or 3 years - it's very easy if your taxes are simple (e.g. a job change mid-year, a spouse, itemized deductible, all very easy). It was even ok when my taxes included some weird forms last y

It's kind of an open secret that the city of Santa Barbara (CA, US) has banned several forms of public outdoor advertising: we have no billboards, no promotional posters, no taxi toppers... It's delightful, and very high on my

agree for exactly the reasons above. the internship i did helped me understand so many things, from version control and unit testing to larger / longer-lived codebases, to the interpersonal dynamics of corporate settings... To this

I recall that OSX used to let me select which updates, and I was always happy to explicitly allow security updates while skipping the latest versions of all the things i don't use, and also skipping unwanted OS upgrades. IMO the worst

as others have said there's many donation based retreats available. I can also offer a rough line-item of where money goes, on retreat that have a sticker price: 1.) Cost. Many communities don't have their own retreat facilities

Given the frequency of articles from citylab and similar i tend to assume HN has a lot of cyclists. And given that it's HN, a lot of people who pin a large part of their lives, earning potential, and identity on their smarts, and thus

I come back a lot to the parable of "who's to say what's good or bad?" (one telling of which can be found here: https://thepowerofthrift.com/whos-to-say-whats-good-or-bad/ ) My more specific take:

The article points to housing as one of the largest factors of raising a child, and mentions healthcare as well. To my very limited understanding, we calculate inflation from some fixed [per comments below: not entirely fixed] index of cons

Are you saying that "high" COL means a house costs $500k? in my limited experience, you're off by 1.5-3x. The house I spent my teenaged years in was purchased for less than 100k and will still sell today for less than 100k. I

One of the things the article names is the challenges caused by snow, ice, etc. I realize I'm in the minority, but I actually think there's lots of conditions that we shouldn't be driving in -- conditions where the obscured

I think the original grant (4-year vesting etc) must have been for around 1,000 shares. and I joined pre-IPO. but I agree it was not a large grant, even for an entry-level position. Nonetheless it's the only one I've gotten that

good - so the numbers make more sense if they have three orders of magnitude more shares than i guessed above. Thank you!
