I am an engineering manager at Bay Area tech company and I love WFH. We have on-boarded lots of new employees and interns remotely and while there are difficulties the benefits seems to prevail. Actually, I don't have anyone who is phy

I am fine with EIP1559. If ETH becomes deflationary, it would still have other uses and something else can fill in the "currency" use. Intuitively (have no idea how to do this), it would be interesting to have Country's coin

sure 1M is OK in SF Bay area (you need to plan for retirement too). But even based on your calculations suddenly 500K is not enough to allow a middle class lifestyle.

I am of an opinion that deflationary crypto (like Bitcoin) can not be used as currency. It should absolutely be used as a store of value (kind of like gold) and as a way to transfer value. ETH is not deflationary and it is a good candidate

1M/year is roughly 500K after taxes in Bay Area. Starter house is bad school district (means you need to pay 25K-45K per year per kid for private school) is over 1M.

of course crypto would not help criminal money laundering. Bitcoin and Etherium are very traceable by design. In fact, it is often much, much easier to trace to origin of Bitcoin funds than the origin of USD funds, especially when cash was

have you heard about different cost of living in different places? What if the person plans to fund himself/herself in the retirement and pay for kids college rather than expecting all that "for free" from the government?

Bing does show wiki link first but no image results. Duckduckgo does show wiki link first but no image results. Google shows wiki link and image results. I am in US. Could be just that Bing is still very subpar ...

exactly. There must be a person in the loop. Facial recognition is just a tool and a very useful one. Banning it is silly virtue signaling. A proper way to address all sorts of possible problems with it is by requiring qualified people in

TSLA price may be justified in the future IFF they are not "just a car maker". I think with batteries, self-driving, something else?, they have a potential to be "more" than a "dominant car maker" but they are

have you seen the prices of housing, healthcare, childcare, education and retirement for over the last 5 years?

This. peoples see that the prices of a dozen of eggs or meals don't go up and say: "No inflation! See!". All this while all assets are getting more expensive, the prices of housing, healthcare, education, retirement and even

yeah, and how many got "non-severe" clots? Obviously, it isn't a binary situation like: you are 100% OK vs you are dead from clot.

they pay little tax because they re-invest into their growth. This is a desired behavior which we want - it fosters innovation and job creation.

LA county bought 18% of its electricity from Utah, where it is generated in the dirtiest way possible - with coal. Utah's power plants are now ramping up capacity due to increased demand from CA (which will go up because CA closes its

CA's power demand is already greater than supply because our politicians close nuclear. But we see relatively few outages related to supply because CA just buys more and more power from other places like Utah (where it is generated wi

what do you expect? The city to actually disappear?? Of course not. But the quality of life in the city is in death spiral. A lot more crime and a lot more homeless and infrastructure is in disarray

have you read that reference though? His anti-nuclear position is well known. So he is either: (1) awfully unqualified to tackle climate change and/or (2) doesn't actually care about climate change at all and will keep on fear mo
