My family definitely got the short end of most of these factors in the midwest. * Very few high paying companies in the area and they were less likely to move due to owning. * They…

You're doubting what? That there are people doing this? It's not hard on a bay area L4+ salary to have a spare 40-50k several times a year (20% of a 200-250k property), especially …

The problem isn't isolated though. We're at the point where people living in tech hubs are buying houses in Ohio every couple of months, simply because they can. (owning) housing a…

I'm also a cmd+l -> n -> enter guy

I'll go ahead and fire off a recommendation to find a muay thai gym that has dedicated conditioning classes and some cool people. I wish I would have discovered it 10 years earlier…

Right. And most people are fully persuaded by much lesser sums.

If we're going to start counting 2nd and 3rd degree connections, why not count people that are home playing video games on a Microsoft console instead of driving somewhere?

I'll opt to ride in the street more often in a downtown area, since traffic is typically slow anyways. At minimum, I'll try to hit up the bike lane. It does help that my scooter ca…

The laws are coming faster in some places than others and the presence of rentals is actually bad in terms of keeping attention on scooters down. I figured I'd have 1-2 good summer…

I bought from ehweels and Jason is awesome. They honored the 1 year warranty on my Dualtron Spider.

You 100% want something with dual motors. Look at the full lineup offered by Dualtron, if you'd like top of the line. I chose the Dualtron Spider, as it was made to be only 44lb wh…

The nuisance -> regulation flow is precisely why I became an early adopter and dropped ~$2500 on a fast one . I wanted to have my fun before the hordes ruin it. If everyone had a s…

How does something like a sound system help you more in India than the US?

I can only wish to not only be so attractive, but to meet these types of women.

I agree that it definitely shouldn't be that way. It's a cop out for the sales team to point and say "we made the sale, we're itemizing the value as ours when the whole possibility…

Net displacement doesn't matter. Convenience and features do. We have to fully admit that, all else equal, being responsible for the security and maintenance of a scooter is worse …

RSUs are as good or better than cash as long as you can keep a job for the length of the cliff. That's typically just a year... The 4th year of an RSU grant is just as unavailable …

The interstates are great for truck delivery and one-off trips such as moving/vacation, but a job is a daily round trip. How far are software engineers really going to commute? If …

most* 25% of people are going to hit 0 again. 1-2 is huge for most people

While I agree the car theft is different, let's not pretend losing your window and several goods (potentially linked to your livelihood) is simple to deal with.

I personally like petty theft being criminalized.

I think the best model is to have your "devops/sre guy" embedded right on the team. I market myself in interviews as a software engineer (on the same team as the other SWEs) that j…

Which specific companies surprise you? Employees selling their RSUs is a drop in the bucket vs the market cap.

For reference, Bloomberg terminal costs $24,000 per year.

Making a high risk play and maybe going bankrupt at 18 might even be a dominant strategy. I never used credit from 18-25 aside from churning some credit cards.
