I don't know what the average is, but I was making around 130k in Seattle 10 years ago and I don't think I was a huge outlier.
Perhaps its been a long time since you calculated those numbers, or you don't have first hand familiarity with the SF bay area, but your 2x estimate is woefully under comp. For the general bay area, you need to add another x. And if want to live in SF proper, add still another x.

The SF bay area is such an extreme outlier that none of the cost of living comparison calculators are accurate.

Taxes, housing, childcare, quality of schools, gas prices, and on and on and on pile onto the expense. Even things like traffic tickets add up: a red light ticket in California will cost over $500 before even factoring in higher insurance costs; this is roughly quintuple most of the country. I pay less than $0.08/kWh for electricity; bay area rates are 3-4x that.

I lived in the bay area for a long time before moving to a suburb of Seattle, where I own a nice home and live near excellent schools. I estimate that I would have to make at least 2.5x more to maintain the same standard of living in the bay area (forget about SF).
I'm working on collating as many sources of Canadian federal data into a single relational database, and exposing that data via a public API.

https://api.iscanadafair.ca/

Given the sources of this data, I'm pretty sure I'm not even allowed to profit off of this. Not really a problem as I'd be doing this in my spare time anyway.

The data-visualization side of it (e.g. https://iscanadafair.ca/data-visualization/example-usage/) isn't my strong-suit, but it's fun to muck around in regardless.
Together with an old study pal I've built a platform for students in the Netherlands to find housing: https://www.roombase.nl/

Thanks for this, just gave tmux a try. Seems fantastic. Tried Version 2.0.

Here are the bindings I went for so that it feels more like screen ( what I am used to ), plus being able to use vi like commands for copy + paste:

vim ~/.tmux.conf

setw -g mode-keys vi
unbind [
bind Escape copy-mode
unbind p
bind p paste-buffer
bind-key -t vi-copy 'v' begin-selection
bind-key -t vi-copy 'y' copy-selection
unbind C-b
set -g prefix C-a
bind C-a send-prefix

Split screen vertically

ctrl+a %

Split screen horizontally

ctrl+a "

Copy and paste works like...

ctrl+a escape - copy mode
v - enter visual mode to highlight
y - capture text
ctrl+a p - paste into terminal

Seems you can use ctrl+a (release) and arrow keys to flip between panes.

Plus ctrl+a left/right to adjust pane size.

Options for SBIR as non-resident
I will like to apply for a SBIR grant. Since I am awaiting my green card, I (the company) is not eligible. I am wondering if anyone else has faced this and if are any options. Any advice will be appreciated.

That's totally a personal call. Some people would be OK trading a bedroom and bathroom to be able to walk home from the bar. Others wouldn't.

But the obvious criteria universally apply: commute time, square footage of the residence, crime rate in the area, quality of the local school district (YMMV), etc.

Most people when moving to a more expensive city compromise at least a little on all of those to keep rent manageable. So maybe a Bay Area resident spends three times as much on housing but they get half as much square footage and a much longer commute.
That's a rules engine, designed to do basically one specific thing. It was told how to micro. In that context APM is a meaningless constraint. May as well ask how many times you can print a message in a for-loop per second. yes...quite a lot, and the computer is unfazed by the workload.

This is a different type of bot we're talking about here. A neural net could not learn to work with unlimited apm more easily than limited apm. That just doesn't make sense. That's like saying it's easier to compute 1000 hashes in a second than it is to compute one hash in a second.

It's not like this is going to create fantastic AI.

Keep in mind there's been an amateur AI project for broodwar for almost 7 years now. Even after such a long learning period, the games are very primitive, and the AI's still couldn't pose a threat to even a beginner human player. Sometimes the games take hours. Trying to build strategy and decision making into an AI is incredibly complicated. There have been teams working at the SSCAIT for many years now, and the product is still fairly primitive.

So what CA did was instead write up a simpler AI that mimics strategy and decision making. We all know it's not great, but I'd be really skeptical that 3rd parties would magically create an AI that can think strategically.
I know people in Alameda who pay $800/month in rent. It's definitely possible to find good deals. There are also brand new studio apartments for $1700/month. It's definitely to find good deals.
Now that truly is the dream. Probably make enough extra income to rent your own place in a We-Work or something similar too if you don't like working from home as much and still bank most of the difference.
Well, we went with the datastore we knew, MySQL. So on the upside we've got full granularity forever. On the downside we were backing up the full dataset every night. Plus the large amount of data was slowing pages down (even on indexed queries).

Now that we've moved the data older than two weeks over to S3, and query with Athena our site is faster, and we're not treating our backup infrastructure quite as poorly.
Also healthcare. Though taxes are certainly higher; you absolutely have to consider 19% VAT vs. 8%? if at all sales tax and other taxes.
also doctors and lawyers already have 70+ hour weeks. They're too exhausted for any side projects. Easier to do that if you have a 40 hour week
Benchmarks in a bind and at war with travis; they need to liquidate their stake in next year or two. Softbank deal to buy out their shares fell apart in part b/c no CEO. Benchmark wants safe-hands leader who will cost-cut firesale their way to quick IPO. travis + allies being more long term; blocking benchmarks CEO picks (meg). so board civil war continues with benchmarks dirty tricks like this sour grapes lawsuit and selective leaks to undercut and force mgmt's hand in cost cuts (the lease car data earlier this week)
We are in no way moving past deterrence. SALT, START, ABMT, etc essentially codified it.

And deterrence is predicated upon creating the absolute certainty in your enemy's mind that you will leave their country a smoking, radioactive hellscape if they attack you.

This requires convincing them that the decision will be made, were it to come to that. Not "Oh, but a mid level officer might ignore the command."

In nuclear game theory, the less certain your opponent is of your resolve and capability, the more likely nuclear armageddon is.
Oh, simple explanation -- I have two computers. I have an always-on Mac Mini these days, and then a docking station for a Lenovo X1C. One webcam on each.

Ask HN: How many GPUs do you own?
Richard P. Feynman – Nobel Lecture (1965)
I wonder if it would be possible to move some processing into the display. It's not the same, but in particle physics pixel detectors, which are basically CCD sensors, people have been working to move the readout electronics into the pixels. There, the motivation is radiation hardness and cheaper production. Here, it could be decreased latency. What if you could put a super small shader in each pixel, and do a final processing step like 'timewarp' right there? Or a part of your graphics memory is directly your display, no bus in between?

That being said, I tried a couple of VR solutions and I don't really have a problem with latency. What I find more irritating is that I cannot focus well on different planes. You do have the effect when you cross your eyes that you put images from different planes together - although badly, because even if you don't see the pixels, you do get some kind of moire pattern when shifting planes (I can't describe it better). And what you don't have at all is depth blur. I think both can only be solved by true light field displays (if that is even possible). I hope there will be a breakthrough with holographic projection at some time.

I have an inattentive type of ADHD and have tried almost everything to help me be a bit more focused when working. From prescribed Ritalin and Concerta (basically an extended version of Ritalin) to nootropics such as Pyracetam etc. Now the Ritalin of course had the biggest effect in terms of focus but after a while I started to feel like a zombie and junkie (lots of jittering, bad mood etc). So one day I decided to flush everything into a toilet and decided to only use available nootropics, not doctor prescribed medications. After a while I discovered DMAE and after 6 months of using it (350-500mg daily) I can say it is almost as effective as Ritalin for me without those nasty side effects and come-downs. The good thing about DMAE is that it helps me focus, yet it still feels natural without that "speedy feeling" effect of Ritalin. Now of course everyone is different and I know some people getting headaches from DMAE and no real results. You really need to test out what works best for your brain.
It will stop working in Firefox Nightly tomorrow. It will continue working in normal Firefox until November, and in Firefox ESR until June next year.

Tree Style Tabs itself will need to be redeveloped, but the necessary APIs are more or less available, and there are already similar add-ons that work in Firefox 57:

- Tree Tabs: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-tabs/

- Tab Center Redux: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-center-re...

The most significant missing feature is the ability to hide the native, horizontal tab strip. That's being tracked in https://bugzil.la/1332447.
Interesting that. According to Wikipedia, he characterizes himself as "a cranky liberal Democrat".

They aren't 50%, highest tax bracket is 45% over 250001 EUR or 294440 USD.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_in_Germany#Income_tax

Church tax could be another 9% if you are a member of a church.

Compare to the US where top tax rate is 39.6% + 12.3% = 51.9% in California.
Well, that is how it is. Meaning a developer, if comparing to the local standard is a normal job that nothing to envoy about.
Wow.

Apparently my grandmother's lifetime of quilt making, she made 1 for each of her children and grandchildren, doesn't count as a hobby. Each quilt taking 1 to 2 years to complete. Only her husband's shop work and his steam engine restoration efforts were as a hobby.

It's 45%, and it's for the bracket above 254.447€ as a single. I make decent money in SF, and made decent money in Germany. My effective taxe rate is about the same.
Why do they "need" to liquidate in the next year or two?
Actually it's more from employer's side - there are taxes employer pays that you don't see in your brutto income from which you pay 50% yourself.

Feature Creep Isn’t the Real Problem
One of the nice things about the way we do things with RunKit embeds (https://runkit.com/docs/embed) is that the code lives in your site, not on ours. The API generates the embed the same way something like highlight.js generates syntax-colored code on your site. That means if we're ever down, your site gracefully degrades to a not-runnable snippet, as opposed to merely disappearing like this seems to or with embedded gists.
The big secret is social programs are largely to promote stability and prevent civil unrest. The effectiveness at the stated intention is a secondary concern.

We probably are better off with a basic income style system where people can opt-into public (or private) education, public (or private) medical services, and the balance is paid out to them in cash every month. The cost being recouped via cutting existing programs and raising tax revenues to recapture 100% of the value once you have a 6 figure household income.
I agree that is the best way to think about it, but it means discussions about CoL differences are inherently subjective.

Perhaps, the least bad way to figure out what an equivalent salary in RDU and the Bay Area is to use revealed preferences and look at people that move between the two areas and what they are paid in either city.

At the beginning of this thread, the main dev states interest in migrating to WebExtensions, then cites all the bugs that prevent that. Towards the end of the thread, an extension dev (`nt1m`) states that the APIs have been approved, and simply need implementation in Firefox. There's definitely a chance they won't make it into 57, but the rapid-release cycle will help them land in a release not too long after 57.

If TST is essential to your workflow, you may wish to consider using 52 ESR until these APIs are finished in mainline, or contribute implementations of the APIs (time permitting, of course).
May I ask you about which regulation forbids the behavior You have described? Are you sure it was a directly constitution, not some employment regulations?
I don't think that's a fair representation of what's happening. It's like judging a movie theater based on it's attendance the day before the movie opens. For China, planned cities look like a "ghost town" for a while... until the people start moving in, and suddenly it's not a ghost town anymore. I'm not claiming their approach is perfect, but I do like that they tried to plan ahead, something the US does not do often enough.

https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2017/mar/21/china-west-gh...

I personally think America could benefit from taking a little bit of China's approach here. Can you imagine how much more affordable housing would be in San Francisco if a bunch of "unnecessary" / "ghost" housing got built before all the new tech jobs moved in.

And sure, it's possible to misjudge things, not every future plan will be wildly successful. But what's really the worst case scenario? "Oh no, we built too much housing. I guess apartments will be really easy to afford. I guess we can start sheltering homeless people really cheaply now, or artists can retrofit some for cheap studio space."

The way of telling if it works is: statistical significance.

This "approach" to research was debunked as pseudoscience long ago (eg here is one from 1967[1], and that wasn't the first)... So the answer is: no one knows what works or doesn't, (edit: at least not based on the usual claimed method of drawing conclusions from the data).

Now that is hardcore. Here I was wondering if an eight hour drive was too much trouble. :-) Keep in mind that all predictions are that traffic anywhere near places like Bend, Redmond, or (worst of all) Madras is going to be a mess. Plan accordingly, especially if you're used to AK where heavy traffic means someone is in front of you at the stoplight. I'm hearing "hours" to get through Bend or Redmond on eclipse day. But there are little to no historical data to work with, so who knows?

Anyway, if you see an old yellow VW Westfalia with its top popped way up on a hill northeast of Madras, honk as you go by.
