Prop 13 should be allowed only for the primary residence, not for secondary residence or rental properties.

I'm assuming, you meant `reassign` (aka rebind) variables?

I'm in my early 30s, and I consider that to be pretty young. Part of it maybe that my great-grandpa & grandpa lived into their 80s. My grandpa was also physically active till the end, and he only passed away when he did because his body couldn't sustain the surgery.

My dad is in his early 60s, and doesn't plan on retiring/chilling before 70. I'm hoping he enjoys his 70s & 80s playing with his future grandchildren.

it's a separate service, but available at a discounted price for prime subscribers.

Given that Visual Studio Code is also built on Electron but poses none of the resource issues (in spite of being a much more complex application - ide v/s chat client), makes me think the problem lies with the application and not the platform

rss readers in general seem to have been lost, for some reason. I still haven't found anything I like better.

how does repl.it compare with expo's snack (snack.expo.io)?

Could you elaborate on a use case that you'd like to see.

I mostly use my TV only to watch videos, which Chromecast handles pretty well. But I'm curious to see what use case I'm missing out on.

"Show a directory tree on the left"

if you use Chrome, try out Octotree

This is good for storing data across sessions, whereas Redux/MobX lose data once the user closes the tab.

"His strategy of turning the WashPo into the HuffPo Insider but with a better rolodex and even less ethics seems to be going solid from a biz standpoint."

As if that isn't bad enough to avoid them, consider that they're also calling for prosecution of their own source: https://theintercept.com/2016/09/18/washpost-makes-history-f...

I've pretty much started ignoring anything published by them.

I agree - there should be a separate quota for students graduating from top-tier universities.

"Any time I change my job, green card process has to be restarted from square one"

The most time-consuming part of the process is waiting for your priority date to be current. Once you have your priority date, restarting the process through another company shouldn't really make a difference, since you can just reuse the existing priority date instead of getting a new one.

Theoretically, you can lose your priority date if the previous company cancels your I140. But since it costs thousands of dollars to do that, most companies don't bother.

The real problem with H1B, that outsourcing firms exploit, is the lottery system. Issa's proposal doesn't address that problem. Zoe Lofgren's bill, which replaces the lottery with a salary ranking system, would be much more effective, in my opinion.

interior design

Felt very rushed for a beginner, okay if you have some background.

Personally, I found Stanford dl courses (image classification, nlp) to be much more suitable for beginners.

If you're a HENRY (High Earner, Not Rich Yet), and have a good credit score (>740), you might qualify for a mortgage with 10% down payment without PMI/second mortgage.

With a frugal lifestyle, 10% should be doable in a couple years, especially if you're okay with living in the East Bay (so the house price is somewhat reasonable).

Stole the words right out of my mouth!

Did a summer internship in Redmond, and realized how much the weather affects my happiness and psychological well-being.

While SFBA weather is way better than Seattle, I still find it a bit cold/dreary for my liking. I really wish the tech hub was in San Diego instead, I'd move there in a heartbeat.

the big motivation for small size seems to be shaving the time spent on parsing the js. Is there any reason this can't be parceled off to a background worker, and using the main thread only for rendering?

The income tax on the profits. If you sell the espp instantly, there isn't much profit, so I'm guessing there isn't much tax?

Given the hue and cry Salesforce made to try and block the acquisition from going through, I suspect an integration with Dynamics as well.

"But without search, without Gmail, without Chrome, without Android, without the moonshots and all the "hobbies" Google's brand would wither"

I'd argue it's less about branding, and more about creating an ecosystem.

the documentation isn't very beginner friendly, I found recharts much easier to get started with

"These people like their jobs"

I doubt that sentiment would be shared by most cashiers at Walmart and other retail chains.

if you don't have the site ready, it'd make more sense to just link to the repo

"rather than optimizing UX or making customers happy"

as someone who's dabbled a bit w both, I found GCP UI/UX to be far simpler than dealing w AWS

"rather than interpreting your application code at run time, your app is converted into ideal JavaScript at build time. That means you don't pay the performance cost of the framework's abstractions, or incur a penalty when your app first loads."

If true, this would be killer, esp on mobile
