It's possible folks used that merely as a conversation opener. Sure there was some concern but primarily they wanted to reach out and talk. Concerns for hysteria are valid, but the…

1. Browser APIs have subtle differences, or don't always exist in every browser you need to support (e.g, https://caniuse.com/ ) 2. You'll need at least a transpiler (if writing an…

I wouldn't leave my job for a "slight" increase in pay, though that's subjective and we haven't defined concrete amounts, other than 300k and 700k in my previous comment, and such …

You could change the process by being the person who rubber-stamps everyone, regardless of how silly the "process" is. If the person didn't get the PhD algorithm perfect, yet still…

I told myself I'd be fine at 300k. Now I'm there, and I've picked up more hobbies. Doesn't stop me from looking for new gigs, from time to time. Going super deep into optimizing fo…

If they already have their budget in mind before the interview process began, it won't buy you any leverage waiting until the very end. They won't care that they burnt the money/ti…

A simple rule would be only permitting publicly traded companies from being included in an IRA. No private companies. Then, no more 100,000% growth inside of the IRA.

Combining "enterprise" with "vague promise of longevity" is quite the oxymoron. Google should start celling cell service if they want to continue upleveling their doublespeak abili…

It's less than the median household income. If you save 15% of the median income for a few years, you could come up with $40k. It's also small relative to $4.5m (0.88%).

The S&P 500, over its history, has returned north of 9% per year. https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/042415/what-average...

If you can take a relatively small amount of money (e.g, $40,000-- the price of a new car, which is something the middle class does buy), and invest it for say, 70 years, earning a…

There's a pervasive sense of stagnant wages, unaffordable homes, etc in first world and developing countries. In China, it's tangping. In America, it's my step sibling having 0 des…

If rents are bi-modal, as one of the parent posters suggests, then how can all properties be valued based on the higher end (e.g, tenants with deep pockets) when not all tenants ac…

I wouldn't characterize people as being dishonest when they talk about the societal-scale issues posed by platforms like Facebook. It's tough to separate those emotions from a pure…

I care somewhat about telemetry, but the path to avoiding it must be simple. In VSCodium's case, it's not quite there. If VSCodium wanted greater market share, the first thing they…
