Uber isn't even that cheap. My 3 mile, 10 minute Uber-X trips in the South Bay typically cost around $10. That should produce a pretty good wage if the driver utilization was high enough -- as a comparison, that's about triple t

This absolutely hurts people who need to go to A->B in suburban areas where public transit is abysmal (due to everyone driving, not using Uber). e.g. a family member of mine frequently helps with picking my kid up at school (by using Ub

I agree that's ideal, but there's plenty of people who won't find any form of exercise enjoyable. Or perhaps will only find some types of exercise (after years, I really only like hiking and biking, which doesn't help mu

Maybe up to senior levels (say T5). At some point, it becomes difficult to even keep your level, much less advance it. All said, I likewise would find it difficult as OP to work at a large company where local incentives can be so misaligned

Top speed is rarely the issue. It's the time wasted in stops.. or if you don't have stops, the time to get to the stations. I'm in China now and it is great the rail stations are high speed. Sadly it takes an hour to get ther

This article didn't mention how holders can be extra hurt by tanking IPOs due to taxes. Many companies release their RSUs at IPO (often withholding too little tax) and then you are locked up, as the price may fall. You can't write

Social pressure tends to push parents toward perfection. In fact as income goes up, expenses go up. A kid in the Bay Area will realistically cost a professional (upper middle class), dual working couple over $1m through college; that certai

Basically, which is very advantageous, because you continue to reinvest otherwise paid taxes. To say nothing of the fact that the stock might never be sold. Or the fact that capital losses can offset a gain from a buyback, unlike dividends.
