You're going to great lengths to argue that the tech company with the best track record for privacy is secretly trying to violate your privacy. You're wrong.
I'm in a rent-controlled place near Silverlake as well and have been here long enough that trying to find equal price for amenities I have at my current building (well-maintained, garage for car) is impossible without moving further away.

As you said though, a lot of jobs on the Westside and it's way more expensive, even with a roommate or two, to live out there. The Expo line may help some but we definitely need wider-scale rail or dedicated bus lanes to connect all the central business nodes to the mainly residential areas.
I should definitely give it a try! I had been suffering from depression. It was caused by chronic stress in
an abusive marriage. I couldn't understand why I wasn't getting better after leaving. So my doc put me on antidepresssants ( http://antidepressivemedicines.com/ ). Now I am off antidepressants and feel happy again:)
Hopefully the remaining money is in an index fund and growing. Larger amounts of money could then be offered. At the very least it could keep pace with inflation.

Unfortunately OVH doesn't have any data centers in the US although they seem to be working on them.
At one of my previous workplaces, the owner was a particularly opinionated woman, who had her favorites and her non-favorites.

If you were on the good side, as long as you were even marginally competent, life was roses. If you were on the other, you could be virtually perfect, and she would find something to reinforce her negative opinion about you.

Oddly enough, it was mostly other women that were the focus of her ire. Not 100%, but she was blatantly harder on her female subordinates than on most of us men. It was an... illuminating experience across the board. I left after a year, and in retrospect I should have left a lot sooner. Toxic work environments really get to you, no matter what.
My house is definitely not on fire. That much I can tell you.

My room, on the other hand, is definitely not tidy. Haven't cleaned that shit in ages.

I've cooked brook trout by cleaning them, putting them in a plastic bag, and accidentally leaving that ziplock bag in the sun for a couple hours on an August afternoon.
Same for me, with the stipulation that I've never had my own office. But I just can't imagine having my own office unless it's a radically different role than I'm interested in. I don't see the point. I'm not taking phone calls or meeting people privately.
My highest function team had a mostly open office. Big, wide, open, lotsa windows, plants, couch etc. 12 people, self selected. We had a handful of offices for anyone who preferred or needed that.

Then my boss stuffed some clowns onto my budget and ruined the magic.

Since then, most places I've worked have been either call centers or highschool cafeterias. No amount of bon ami can overcome inhumane working conditions.

I'd rather have an office.
Hello! I’m Aaron one of the co-founders of isomorƒ. Sorry our site was down when you visited. We’ve actually just pushed a new demo (https://isomorf.io/#!/demos) and we would love feedback on it (feedback@isomorf.com)! We are planning a public beta soon and we’re looking for participants (https://isomorf.io/#!/sign-up).

Your descriptions of projectional editing and intentional programming very much resonate with the vision we are pursuing. We agree that structured editing can create much more efficient paradigms for refactoring, reuse, and stability. Why do we search for code based on text rather than real function signatures and even input/output examples? Why do we need to change languages just to use new control structures? Why do we accept the coarse granularity of file level commits? Why are things like parallelization/caching part of code rather than ex-post runtime configuration? Why does deployment need to involve endless command line idiosyncrasies

This is definitely a complex problem, but we feel a paradigm shift is necessary to make a step change in software development efficiency. We’d love to discuss further.
Interesting side note: Coleco had a version of Slither for their gaming console which shipped with a "Roller Controller" which was pretty innovative at the time. ColecoVision crashed and burned, too, of course.

A relative worked there and so my family had access to many prototype games that never made it into stores. But I know for a fact "Slither" was on the shelves as my copy was a retail package. I enjoyed playing it at the time, especially with the track ball.

Good read here.[1] An example could be using your installed fonts. Like I was saying they probably use a bunch of other JS tricks. These 3rd parties aren't going to disclose anything.
The point is that you want support for those features (certainly the core codecs, etc.) in the spec, so if you send someone a file you can be sure they can read it.

TIFF is not useful if you want to use a state-of-the-art lossy codec and get hardware-accelerated decoding on an arbitrary mobile device, or if you want to display an animated image with transparency on a web page.
I find that the WSJ abstracts are usually enough - I'm just clicking to find out what was behind the bait.
- Austin is fun and has some good companies but too damn humid (and I'm originally from the South). And I think the exodus from CA the past few years have really overwhelmed their infrastructure

- Houston/Dallas seem like just more sprawl. LA is actually pretty dense in parts and can have good public transit. I know people from Dallas that have been happy moving back though.

- Don't know much about San Antonio
There are plenty of neighborhoods in the Los Angeles metro with these characteristics. It's just that many of them are among the more expensive areas (Downtown, Koreatown, Santa Monica, Fairfax, Echo Park, …).

"City population density" doesn't strike me as a good metric for judging a city's ability to support good public transit. It's not like Los Angeles (as a whole) was any denser when it boasted an extensive network of streetcars and electric rail spanning the city (and surrounding towns like Pasadena and Santa Monica); LA city population was ~1.5M in 1940 and is ~3.97M today with no substantial change in land area.

The general break even point is circa 200k USD per month, assuming the company has spare capital, and the ability to commit to using the same gear for 3 years.

It's useful to keep in mind that in this type of scenario the goal is not to replace a cloud provider but to leverage capital to get better bang for the buck on select services. ex. using in-house compute farms and leveraging s3 for storage

As an openly trans woman, I've observed that the more traditional and conservative a business is, the more likely they are to provide a pleasant and non-discriminatory work environment, while freewheeling "look how modern we are!" startups are more likely to provide hostile working environments.

My current employer is the best company I've ever worked for, and they are a highly conservative B2B telecom in Collin County, the fifth most conservative county in Texas (and B2B telecom is a highly conservative industry where nobody will deal with you unless your culture is highly corporate). Nobody has ever given me the slightest iota of shit for being trans, and I have never once felt discriminated against for being a woman. The environment is best described as "highly corporate", the office is a cube farm as far as the eye can see, etc. A huge amount of the people at the company (not everyone, but a lot), especially those in senior and/or management positions, are both Christian and conservative. Until very recently, the TV in the break room was always tuned to Fox News (and they experimented with OAN for a while, too).

On the other hand, the single most abusive company I've ever worked for was a freewheeling early-stage startup.

I've heard similar things from other people as well. It's a paradox: traditional conservative companies are by far and above friendlier to women and minorities in their employ than freewheeling ultra-modern startups are. The upshot is that if you are a woman or a minority, you'll be treated better at a company that's associated with politicians who want to oppress you. Like, tradcons are horrible to us in every other sphere of life, but in the workplace they're beneficial.
I just had a terrifying vision of a post-automation, dystopian society where the non-specialized humans are relegated to selling the only thing they have left. I'm picturing various occupations such as jacking in your neural shunt so that a portion of your brain activity can be crowdsourced for altcoin mining, or Dune style Axlotl tanks birthing organ replacements.
> Geography matters

I'd really stress the geography aspect of the job search. As a transgender job-seeker, geography has become my first filter. The company culture matters, but so do the city culture (where a number of employees may be drawn from), state laws, and local laws. I look at maps like this one:

This is like admitting to stealing things from people who leave their houses unlocked. If you think that is all good then you need to re-evaluate your life choices.
This is, without a doubt, the most absurdly twisted post to come of this thread. It takes a simple idea that is true and then winds around it a fiction that younger white men deserve protected status because they weren't born rich, to the exclusion of everyone else.

It holds hostage the notion of socialism in exchange for further protecting and excusing bad behavior by a privileged class.

Plenty of white people are not demonized. There is essentially no consequence for bad behavior but dirty looks. And if white men want to punish the upper white class for neglecting them, maybe they should stop pushing rich non-working-class men forward as their proxies.

All great points. For me, connecting to wifi networks has been a huge pain with iOS 10. In settings, I'll see a checkmark next to the wifi network name, but no wifi signal icon in the status bar or connectivity. Stays like that for 2-3 minutes before actually connecting.
I've often thought about setting up a semi-automated "theorem bounty" site for formal proofs. Besides prizes for new or big discoveries, it'd also be a good way to fund formalizing e.g. undergraduate textbooks on Ring Theory.
So your savings or other passive income provide for your needs when you hobby happens to 'not' earn money? There are a lot of people in my circle of friends who have reached that point of not "needing" to work in the sense of putting food on the table or paying for things, but working on things they enjoy because they have things to do which are fun.

'unemployed' tends to get people who don't know you wondering if they should feel sorry for you or not, 'retired' seems to bring up images of rocking on the deck chair and playing golf during the day. I feel like what you are doing is somewhere between those two.

Dude here. Maybe scan meetup.com for woman only or themed geek events (in your target area), meet people, network, ask those other women if their gigs are hiring. That's how my male friends have always done it. I started a study group 15+ years ago (before meetups) and that social network has connected most of us with quality gigs.

Yes, though the truth of your statement doesn't detract from the truth of my statement. We can't change our gender or race but we can change our outlook.
This, if you are in the latter stages they will want to see everything you are saying is true. If you're projecting a hockey stick growth, but don't necessarily have the numbers to back it up that's ok, projecting is just guessing in any business. None of the good VC's I've done business with would be put off by this. If you've overinflated your numbers 20%,then it's time to have a heart to heart with your champion at the VC firm. If they are senior enough to get the deal done and they believe in you/your team, it may not matter. VC's invest in people as much if not more than a company.

No matter what happens be honest with these people, the VC community is small/close knit and if this goes bad because you weren't honest from the get-go EVERYONE will know.

How to fail :(
If your app is 3-6x slower overall in Firefox to the point of animations & dragging being slower, and to the point that non-minification makes it slower... something is wrong with your app. Animations are generally the work of the layout engine and compositor, which is absolutely not going to be impacted by jsc's latest JS optimizations, or by ES6 features.

For one thing, minification's impact is largely on parsing, so it shouldn't have any noticeable impact on anything other than startup time and memory usage (the compressed JS source for Function.toString will be a bit smaller if minified). If your app is really slower at runtime when not minified, again, something is wrong.

Is your application written in raw (non-transpiled) ES6 and heavily using generators, async, tail call opts etc in tight perf-sensitive loops that run on the main thread without yielding to the event loop? It's hard for me to come up with a scenario where you could see such a huge performance gap in a well-constructed application.

If computational performance is really important to you, then you're writing asm.js (or webassembly) and shipping that. All of the modern JS engines perform great on that sort of code and you simply cannot see a 3-6x gap there. So something weird is going on with your app that any vendor would be happy to fix if you sent them a repro (or just let them try out your app).
It seems similar to tying ping pong or beer to masculinity.
A lot of what you just said suffers from a pretty big misconception: it's land that's worth money, not the house that's on it.

Every single news story about how some tiny shack in Vancouver or Palo Alto now costs $x has the same problem, so you're in good company. But it's still not the right way to think about this problem.
I actually think this is a major advantage for Apple.

While Microsoft is trying to pare down their desktop system while maintaining legacy code, Apple is able to add core features based on usage and demand. The iPad and Mac are like testing grounds for each other where both OSes can borrow good aspects from the other. Sometimes it’s easier to start from scratch and rethink the fundamentals rather than modifying existing ideas under constraints of the old paradigm.

Apple has MacOS already as a “fallback”. If Microsoft one day realizes that Apple’s tablet interface is the way to go, they would be seriously behind.
Yes, what I describe above is how you counter that strategy.

There's a site on Neocities we host for free that would cost $560/mo to host on Amazon's CDN.

It costs me less than $5 with my current configuration (which is also a global CDN). It's way over our "soft limit", but it's an awesome site so I don't care. The important part is, I don't have to care.

This isn't about slightly more expensive tacos. It's about spending $560 on tacos instead of $5. "Meh" wouldn't exactly be my first reaction to getting that bill at the taco cart (or the fanciest taco place in the world, for that matter).

I can get IP transit in datacenters from $240-$600/Gb right now. So even his $960 transit cost for datacenters is off by quite a bit. He's comparing with a pretty high price and it still looks ridiculous.
Let me play back what I'm hearing: Chrome is great because it uniquely protects you from 3rd-party hackers on the internet. Fair enough.

> I have never heard one argue for their god given right to own an ICBM on 2nd amendment grounds...

You'd be surprised. There's an absolutist argument that goes like this: back when 2A was founded, it was common for private people to own artillery and warships, which were the pinnacle of that era's military technology. Therefore, the authors of 2A did not envision any limitations. Therefore, this should still be the case.

Granted, this is very much a fringe view even in the gun owner community. But there are enough people holding it, that you can actually see it argued on American gun forums etc occasionally.

It also springs up in fiction sometimes. In Vinge's "The Ungoverned" short story, there are privately owned tactical nukes. Which are actually used. Granted, that is considered an extreme case even for the described anarcho-capitalist frontier society, enough so to warrant an immediate all-out attack by other people on anyone discovered possessing them. And Vinge is actually ancap himself - and, so far as I recall, he actually said something along the lines of that story describing a society he wouldn't consider undesirable.
Why is it any different if their property hadnt appreciated? One gets the burden, other doesnt?
This seems like incredibly bad OPSEC from The Intercept.

It's obvious that the leaker fucked up big time here and would most likely been caught just based on her own mistakes, but you'd hope that a publication with such a track record of publishing high profile leaks would make a better effort to protect its sources than sending watermarked documents directly to other government employees to confirm.

Really not sure if they'll be able to recover from this.
The implication/undertone of most of the diversity discussions is that minorities and women have worse experiences than white men. The discussions are centered around women/minority experiences compared to those of white men, without allowing white men to share their experiences for actual comparison.

Just like the white man doesn't know what it is like to be a woman or a minority, the minorities and women don't know what it is like to be a white man.

Getting to the truth (finding out the severity of mistreatment/inequality, if there is any) and fostering understanding between both sides would be for the good of society. This would involve listening to both experiences.
Watching my co-workers, who are architects, I think some is good for remote, some not. Pick-and-choose from below.

Despite creating everything digitally, there's a lot of high-quality photographic printing to be pinned up and observed during critiques with senior people.

A team will also crowd around someone at their desk and discuss, point out, live model/design something.

The level of equipment ($4k+ desktop towers) wouldn't be as easy to standardize or support. If a user ran into an issue, one in which remoting in wouldn't work for support, it'd take much more time to diagnose and rectify rather than on-site. They are definitely not as computer savvy as probably a lot of the folks working at GitHub but need high-performance machines.

We have a client representative that flies in from a city a couple hours away every week to go over designs. They sit in a large conference room with a team and has a remote conference with team members in the city they flew in from.
With the right (free!) app, what you described works for iPads too.
> To make this visceral: what differentiates Google finding me an expensive camera that I can buy from B&H that matches my search criteria and helps me get my work done of Google finding me an expensive article from the Wall Street Journal that matches my search criteria and helps me get my work done?

Likely, what percentage of users come back to search and keep trying other results. From a simplistic point of view, the value proposition to users can be derived what what percentage had their query answered by that source. If WSJ is taking some number of visitors from Google that used to get a page that caused them to stop searching and now providing a page that does not cause them to stop searching, they are providing a less useful resource overall for Google users.

WSJ is providing objectively worse results on average for Google users than they were previously. It makes sense that would cause their ranking to drop.
