Agreed! Definitions matter, as another reply pointed out, I differentiate high income (a fairly attainable goal) with “rich”, or more specifically wealth, where the person is not dependent on the employer. Note that one cannot say “not depe

That depends on tenure - if this hypothetical person has been in that position for many years AND has saved a significant part of their income, they may be “rich”. However, FAANG really exploded in size only recently (and then hit layoffs),

That argument about UBI may be true ceteris paribus (all else being equal), though even then it may not. The assumption seems to be that all other money flows and incomes remain the same and demand grows while supply remains the same. UBI (

Can’t seem to find data to backup this observation, so leaning on anekdata instead - when traveling in EU, food prices seemed a lot lower than US. If this is true, an equivalent nominal increase would translate to a higher percent increase.

There already are programs to attract residents that can boost a country’s tax base and add investments to economy. Media likes to call them “golden visas” and have derided them all the same. Sure there are issues like risks of ill-gotten f

Glad you are doing better! Burn out is no joke and health is hard to regain, so you made the right choice in my book! In terms of confidence, practice is what worked for me. Write code in your domain, see how it goes. You’ll probably feel r

If you look up the term “infamous”, you’ll quickly see it’s not a positive one. Neither is urban sprawl. Factual terms can have positive, neutral or negative connotations. The ones used happen to be negative. If you are still in LA, try exp

Instead of dismissing with derogatory terms, you should try to actually get to know these. You’d realize that Santa Monica is very different from West Hollywood, which is also different from Hollywood, K-town, etc. Even in the valleys, Sher

That would not fix the coordination problem - if the family includes one of each (elementary, middle and high school kids) you still have to make breakfast for them, get everyone ready and head out. Let’s say they all don’t have to leave at

The article talks about phones correctly - at the backbone level it’s mostly VoIP now, which requires power. I bet some places have old mechanical switches that in theory can still be used, but those need some power as well. Landline is gre

Yeah salmon jerky is not bad and the one I made was eaten fully. That said, gravlax is sooooo much better than jerky!

No offense taken - it was a pretty simple error of too much salt and waiting for too long, which produced quite edible salt cured salmon, but it was super dry (and gravlax is not supposed to be dry). Grandma does it perfectly every time, ju

Nope, that might be part of it. Also likely put way too much salt and held it for too long. Thanks for the tip!

Strange that the article didn’t mention gravlax[1]. It’s a salt and sugar cured salmon that melts in your mouth if done right and, at least to my taste, doesn’t overwhelmed you with salt. Of course last time I tried to make this I got salmo
