You're right. Detroit is higher than I expected. I guess low GBP rates make a difference, when I was in London 1 GBP = 2 USD. (Rent in London is definitely not cheaper.) London isn't a great place for EE. Software in Banks had&#x2

If you're a high demand engineer, you're probably right but SV is special. If you compare London to NY or Birmingham to Altlanta the gap isn't really there. Esp check taxes and healthcare in the US. I've worked both and

I love the idea of biodiversity, I love seeing the huge variety in nature. But for 99.9% of people would make zero difference their lives. except maybe crop extinction I understand why I'm being downvoted. The point I'm arguing is

Working from home I'm mostly just RDPing to a remote PC. Everything else is browser based. I spend a few hours doing side projects and learning on a PC. Has anyone tried hiring remote desktops for this? It would make sense but they see

Here is a quick reminder of what Britain looked like in 1890. It must have had the highest CO2 emissions per citizen by far. https://i1.wp.com/www.cabaltimes.com/wp-content/Manchester_I...

Honestly I dont think most people care about privacy or advertising. For me my biggest argument about SM (incl HN) is the sheer amount of time it sucks for very little long term benefit. I complain I dont have time to visit friends or do ex

Agreed, I'm starting to think the Internet is becoming a net negative in people's lives. Maybe if everyone reverted to 2G speeds for a few basic tasks and we can leave SocialMedia/Games/Video behind.

Is that everyone the same 2 days a week? Because its a problem if everyone chooses different days you still can't get those interactions.

The real issue is how come gas is $2 a gallon still? Its unbelievably cheap. I ran AC pretty much full time the whole summer and the bill was $400. Energy is way too cheap in the US.

I can't remember where I read it but there was the view that recycling allows people to think they're environmentally responsible when they aren't. eg the typical family has multiple cars, lives in a big suburban house, has h

One issue is very few people get interview training. I have interviewed maybe 100 people but had to figure it out for myself what works. I wish I could apologize to the first few dozen.

You didn't mention whether you really want to be a developer or not. Alternatively there are lots of ops and sysadmin jobs around, maybe that is an option. Or project management, business analyst even sales.
