The other curse is to progress to IC7-9 (non manager) at MAANG making 500k-900k and unable to be hired anywhere else. The only place to go is to stay at a megacorp. Thankfully, some of these megacorps violate this article's "curse" rule and allow IC <-> M transitions somewhat freely.

It behooves IC7-9 to instead work on side hustles that can turn into profitable businesses, leveraging their employment pedigree and potential early adopters in industry, because working for a corporation is risky and plateaus.

To afford to buy a home (average value of $2.2m) where I grew up in a barely middle class area, it requires a minimum income of 400k USD. That's just a middle class home with nothing fancy.

And you're lecturing us that it's preposterous.

I guess you don't understand what things cost and the needs of real people who aren't billionaires.

Western Union predates the Pony Express by about 10 years, which operated for only 18 months. It was the Webvan and WU was the Amazon.

Pantelegraph -> wirephoto / radiofax / teleautograph -> telex / weatherfax -> fax

Duh. I mentioned A to dismiss it rather than invite inevitable conspiracy theories.

His lawyers came out almost immediately claiming he seemed in good spirits. Perhaps this was a superficial assessment or he was hiding his true feelings.

Like I said, wait until the investigation is complete because we don't know. It seems like the friend and media are grabbing attention rather than doing anything constructive.

Yep. America has the simultaneous problems of being both too spread out and too busy/dense in most areas without sufficient public transport. There has been a widespread, long-term lack of planning to arrange smaller residential areas closer to commercial and industrial areas. It's largely dependent on long commutes and automobile commutes, which is unnecessarily expensive and wasteful.

Must first start with the political operating system that cannot be reformed from within. After that happens, then it's possible to have sensible governance and effectively implementing megaprojects. Public-private "partnerships" are just subsidies to corporate profits.

Title author clearly isn't from CA. They've been hyping HSR since the 80's. Never gonna happen without lots of pork barrel waste and, like VTA light rail, no one's going to use it. Americans are in love with meat agriculture, political toxicity, feelings over knowledge and competency, uninformed opinions, and single occupant vehicles stuck in traffic with long commutes.

I can see why they sold even fewer than Apple LISAs. Crazy prices.

Davis CA enforces BUI.

Use a pastebin rather than making my eyes bleed. You didn't even capture the whole thing.

Nope. Hell no.

Changing all of the world's infrastructure isn't a "hack",

All they have to do is use AnyCast and geoip to block most users from a specific region.

If you really need Pornhub in Texas, a VPN cloud VM is your courier.

1st a. will be the least of our concerns when Ruth Bader Biden loses to orangeman who will change the flag, make a new loyalty test salute, and require documentation checkpoints every few miles.

Pornhub is low-quality crap, haven't visited it in years.

FYI: delta-9 THC is legal in Texas when derived from hemp, so actual weed is sold alongside the legal stuff in many cities.

$2m+ for San Jose retirees with Prop 13.

$300m houses and every billionaire are absurd and policy failures.

Correct without over correcting/ping-ponging between anarcho libertarianism and communism should be the goal.

Perhaps:

A. Most people dismiss an actual conspiracy to murder a whistleblower witness as a conspiracy theory automatically. Such a cliché seems possible. Remember, Boeing is run by MD dickhead bros who traded in camel fucking magazine covers.

B. He wanted additional scrutiny on Boeing, and was willing to die for it.

C. Friend is seeking attention.

It will require honest and diligent investigation to be sure it was truly suicide because none of us know from afar. C seems most likely.

Learned this 30 years ago. Durable quality goods are generally best bought used, but furniture requires close inspection to avoid pests.

Custom Macy's extra long couch from ~2000 is the best thing ever. You sink into it and it holds up. Bought used-new for $1k when a friend paid $4k but was delivered 2 by mistake.

Most people buy IKEA sawdust or are low information consumers, and the market responds accordingly. As such, people don't buy fine furniture or understand how to discern quality in a specific durable good.

s/Lab-Grown// would be a better idea.

... way, way down here is animal cruelty because the actions of 99% of people prove they don't give 2 fucks so long as they don't see it or the animals aren't cute.

These numbers alone are of marginal utility.

They're missing std deviation and seniority level brackets.

CS probably the most individual contributor upward mobility as IC/L6+ can reach megabuck(s) per year TC.

Also not mentioned is the majors most likely to get MBAs and therefore more mobile.

It's illegal in Alaska to waste meat of big wild game animals because it's a form of food waste otherwise.

> If no attempt is made to salvage meat, the minimum fine is $2,000 and 7 days in jail. The more egregious charge, of wanton waste, carries a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $10,000 fine.

Yeap, dangerous AF because of a failure to design from first principles.

Osprey.. the Corvair deathtrap of the skies.

Flying cars and VRs are zombie sci-fi technologies that rear their ugly heads every 10 years. Moller is still working on it.

More ways to pointlessly waste energy to benefit a few when there is a climate crisis that demands more energy efficiency, such as via terrestrial mass transportation.

s/Pinto/Corvair/ Ralph Nader, who has a horse in this race, should write a new book Unsafe at Any Altitude.

The machine and the operator are a superorganism system. Looking to place blame on one or a nebulous external cause is intellectually and morally dishonest because it denies culpability for specific instances of harm.

Tonedeaf "logic". Destroying incomes harms most people while disproportionately benefiting only a few. This decreases wages and increases competition for an ever shrinking pool of jobs. Eventually, there will only be shit jobs paying peanuts that are too expensive to automate.
