I sympathize with those in such positions who have family roots and dont wish to move out of the region. But the "good" think about such jobs are geographic freedom.
I definitely wouldn't say many. I can count the number of cases it has happened in the past few years on one hand, and as far as I remember, almost all of them got their accounts back.

Yes, you could argue that only the loud ones making noise get their accounts back, which my be true, but considering that billions of people use GMail, the fact that so few stories even show up means that it's probably safer than even air travel.
It will be different this time (tm)

But in all seriousness, while I dont believe much in code generation and super smart generic client, a common platform for describing rest apis is more useful than reinventing the wheel for every new service or rather worse - a Word document on Sharepoint with endpoint description.

It's difficult to figure out what's really going on there. I followed Abby Martin's reporting on the ground recently, and it's quite eye opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUYWrPiUeWY
I'm really, really curious how you got your numbers.

I just 'did the math' in Redfin's mortgage calculator on a $990,000 home. The total monthly cost came out to $6,495 or $3,247 per person (in a couple). That's almost exactly 1/2 of the take-home (after tax) pay of someone making $120,000 a year in California.

-- Monthly expenses on a $990k house in SF --

Principal and Interest: $4,185

Property Taxes: $1,015

HOA Dues: $551

Homeowners' Insurance: $183

Mortgage Insurance: $561

1) That's far more than your $2,000 per person number

2) I'm no expert but, throwing 50% of your income at a mortgage seems foolish. So whether or not you can afford it, depends on your definition of "afford"
That's a blatant misrepresentation of the state of prosecution.

To date, 2 of the 19 people arrested have been found not guilty on all counts by the courts. 2 (Scott Drexler and Eric Parker) were found not guilty on most charges, but the jury was unable to reach a decision of some of the charges, and so they are being retried. Note that all of the charges carry a penalty of at least 5 years in prison, so both of them can still face decades in prison if found guilty on the remaining charges. 2 have been found guilty in court, 2 plead guilty.

Gregory Burleson sentenced to 68 years. Todd Engel was found guilty of obstruction of justice and interstate travel in aid of extortion, sentencing pending but he faces up to 30 years. Gerald "Jerry" DeLemus plead guilty, sentenced to 7 years. Peter Santilli pled guilty to conspiracy to injure or impede federal officers, sentencing coming next year.

Cliven Bundy, Ammon Bundy, Ryan Bundy, and Ryan Payne, the ringleaders of the whole standoff, start trial Oct 30th.
I was planning to write one too, wanna team up? :)
But a $180k gross income is not particularly unusual in the Bay. I mean, that's still in junior engineer territory at one of the BigCos (Apple, Google, Facebook, etc.).
Streamlining event data infrastructure
It was around 2013 and I stayed at the Holiday Inn civic center. I explored around on foot. I remember wanting to get the fresh ocean air in my room (because of the funky odor in my room) and deciding to close my windows because all I smelled outside was weed (though lots of places smelled of weeed)
The scary times have already arrived for Venezuela, tragically.
So I ordered some cigars online the other day. I did this on a device not logged into google, in privacy mode.

An email with the order went to my @gmail. The next day in my Youtube videos the ads where for stop smoking patches.

They read email.
This is what people tell themselves in order to make their suffering tolerable. But the best places to live even just in California are amazingly underpopulated.
"The sad part, as a ethnic-minority, I have just found our community for my kids, etc. It would be really tragic if I have to tear my kids away from that."

Contrary to apparently-popular belief (based on some other comments in this thread), the Bay Area is not the only place in the United States with ethnic-minority communities/enclaves, or the only region in the entire United States where "brown people" are not, apparently, shot on sight. Otherwise, how could there be articles about how "white" is on the verge of becoming a minority?

(I won't deny that the Bay Area is very, very liberal, but you're really in a filter bubble if you think it's the only one, or even remotely close to describable that way.)
Are you saying piracy is fine in space? It's not the way I read the treaty - sounds like it'd be not ok - therefore potentially opening up options for "defense" based armament.
Ok I found what I was talking about:

San Diego has the same problem. Impossible to find decent housing. Studios going for +600K, 3 bedroom homes going for 1M. More and more of us are living 1-2 hours away from work just to live comfortably. Eventually this will reach a breaking point, and the housing market will crash like 2008. House flippers basically playing hot potato with these inflated prices.
Another aspect that isn't mentioned here is this. Over the past 7 or 8 years Bay area companies have had to keep gradually increasing their employee's salaries to accommodate for the rising real estate profits, which has caused competing companies to have to do the same and so on.

We've finally hit a point where companies are now realizing it isn't profitable to continue paying employees higher salaries and are letting folks go, and those folks are moving to more affordable areas in the country.
Sigh. I am really really bad at this. I ask a question. The reply is often defensive. Conversation fails to happen, often coming to a screeching halt.

I am not trying to dump a project in your lap. I really appreciated your comment. It makes me want to do something with the info.

Before my life was derailed, I was studying to become an urban planner, but was really more interested in regional planning. I have a sincere interest in trying to find real solutions that are lightweight and use existing resources. I am also a recent California escapee.

If you are interested in seeing something more done with this info at some point, please drop me a line. I don't know where to go with it at this point in time, but having a contact on the ground that could feed me info to help jump start something might be useful.

Thank you for making the comment and answering questions here.
400k in Bellevue buys you a dilapidated shack at the outskirts. For anything decent you’re talking $1m and up.
SMTP has headers that are visible to the email provider while the email is in transit. The absence of logs, etc., goes far to mitigate this threat. As an added benefit, there is a lot of anti-spam functionality that can be used with only this metadata available, and only ephemerally. I don't think it's true that zero-knowledge at rest means inability to provide common email provider value adds like anti-spam.
This happens all the time with private LLCs and S-corps that do nothing but own boats, planes, equipment, or other stuff where sales or use tax is supposed to be paid on transfers.

You don't sell the boat, you sell the LLC that happens to own the boat. And when buying a business entity or business interest, you don't pay sales tax. The boat was always owned by the same LLC, it never changed hands - it was the business that changed hands.

Tokyo added more housing than the entire state of California:

https://www.vox.com/2016/8/8/12390048/san-francisco-housing-...

And as someone who lived in Europe for a while, I think we've had the technology to house a fair number of people in desirable area for several hundred years. It's the political will that's lacking.
But what if they don't want to leave? Many of these people have lived here their whole lives. If they must leave due to the market, I'd argue that's being forced out. Even if they do make a tidy profit.

Anecdotal, but I've heard this is happening in Hawaii now with vacation home prices skyrocketing, causing natives to get stuck with property taxes they can no longer afford.
Not sure if all these are x-refs to theorems or not, but there seem to be lots of [?] links: https://www.arxiv-vanity.com/papers/1602.08927/

That said, on cursory look, this is pretty impressive. latex->web converters have existed for a long time, and this appears to have navigated some aspects quite well!
IANAL, but that just seems to say that under that particular law (SPTT), Internet access providers have to provide the technical means for lawful interception. It does not say that no other entity has to provide the technical means for lawful interception.

In other words, the law does not say that ProtonMail is exempt for having to provide lawful interception. They might still have to do so, based on some other law.

Further, it's quite conceivable that unlawful means (such as blackmail, threats, or bribery) could be used to coerce ProtonMail. That's not to mention perfectly lawful means of enticing them -- like appealing to their patriotism, willingness to help in a critical investigation, or demonstrating some credible threat.
There is still a possibility, a scenario only a crazy conspiracy theorist could imagine a few years back, but I believe the current development of closed chipsets could soon allow remote penetration into any machine using any network card by any vendor, and in a way that nobody can even sniff the suspicious traffic over the network.
It seems really complicated, if not impossible, but I'm starting to think it can be done if one has full access to the chipsets and their firmware (users, admins and developers don't, vendors and their "partners" do).

Let's assume a system where every piece of hardware has a closed device driver, or part of it, CPU included. We're there, or very close. It's not that hard to imagine a system within the system that can access data (hard drives have closed blobs), read passwords before they are encrypted through keylogging (USB sniffing), make screenshots of the desktop (video card closed blobs) and send them wherever they're instructed to (network card blobs), not to mention downloading and executing arbitrary code.

Now one could object that the traffic could be easily intercepted, but what if all network chipsets of all vendors, including those inside routers, had a small set of instructions to intercept any magic packet satisfying some rules and treat it differently. Let's say send it to some hardcoded addresses without counting them or reporting them to user applications; even leds on front panels would not report those packets passing through. The only way to realize something fishy is going on would be by tapping physically into the network cable using non-network dedicated chipsets, say very fast digital analyzers, decode all traffic and match it with what a normal sniffer would report.

I admit this is a crazy scenario, but if an entity with nearly infinite resources had the power to force any hardware vendor to put spying hardware/firmware into every machine, wouldn't it attempt to do something like that?
The Essential Phone now costs $499, $200 less than the original price
> All that air space that could be condos, homes for people, anything at all, wasted so that "people can see the mountains better". Meanwhile, my friend and his girlfriend are paying $4000/month for 1000 sqft.

My guess is that, if significant amounts of extra housing were added in the Bay Area, software devs salaries would fall. Right now, software companies need to pay insane money in order to offset the insane cost of living (as otherwise, they'd lost their workforce). So, filling BA with high-risers would not help members of this forum that much (it would likely be very helpful for people in low-wage jobs though).
AWS is a critical service for most companies and access needs to be carefully managed. There are just natural complexities in managing access to sensitive info and controls in any company and probably needs to be solved at that level rather than a specific cloud vendor.

Arguably Google Cloud is pretty well done, especially if you're already using their G-Suite service. What would make AWS easier for you and why did it take 3 hours to create accounts for your team?
PyGotham '17 – Nim: A New Option for Optimizing Inner Loops
Well: "“A lot of people in the 1980s and 1990s [when the Human Genome Project was getting started] thought of these regions as nonfunctional,” said Karen Miga, a molecular biologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz. “But that’s no longer the case.” "

And: "“I’m between agnostic and a little skeptical that these bits will be important for disease, but maybe I’m saying that because we can’t read them,” Lander said.".
They were involved in some of that legislation.
For a techie who's in the top 10% of earners, sure, but we're talking about averages. $180k gross is ridiculous for the average job, even in the bay.

This should be considered for sure. Texas anything was removed from my family's potential places list because of its hostility to women; my wife said in no uncertain terms that we would never be moving there.

The history of the word 'democracy' is irrelevant. I was using the word in its current sense (as I do with most words!)

> I think you're staking out a very strange linguistic position if you think those countries, which self-identified as democracies both before and after the change, and which everyone referred to as democracies both before and after the change, could only correctly be referred to as "democracies" after they enacted universal suffrage.

I think you're staking out a very strange political position if you're suggesting that it wouldn't be undemocratic to disenfranchise women, African-Americans and people who don't own significant amounts of property.

Self-identification is not a reliable guide. The DPRK presumably self-identifies as democratic.

Now, if you think that (say) the USA should still qualify as an 'imperfect democracy' following a massive disenfranchisement of the kind I just described, then I can't really argue with that, since there's no hard and fast rule for deciding when an imperfect democracy stops being a democracy at all. But personally I would not call it a democracy any longer in that circumstance.
Damn dude. That's very good insight!
It works independently of transmission method since the mouse clicks are simply translated into "keyboard presses", i.e. encoded to stdin as escape sequences. It's a single stream.

Of course, the terminal emulator must play nice with the windowing environment and translate mouse events correctly.

> This is one reason why the typical teaching methodology of a US high school English class typically has the effect of blunting the enjoyment of classic literature - students are not usually given the chance to read the story in its entirety before it is dissected to death, chapter by chapter.

Maybe, but I think the bigger reason is just that teenagers have generally not developed the kind of maturity where reading a classic work of literature is very enjoyable.
Congratulations, you must be one of the first ones :) Makes sense to give re-applicants preference if they have developed well since last time.

Where are you buying?
It is not that insane. IMO it is not sustainable (which is why I think I would not buy into SF real estate even if I worked there), but SF salaries are often significantly higher than elsewhere, so renting is a perfectly viable option.

Assuming 40% tax bracket, a 30k salary difference gives you 1500/month extra after taxes that you can spend on your apartment. If you consider a couple with in demand tech skills they may be significantly better off financially moving to SF, where they are likely to both find very competitive salaries. In many other areas they may have to contend with one person getting into his best career path and the other choosing from limited options to be nearby.

I am not advocating SF living, e.g. this is not my kettle of fish simply due to the quality of life choices, but from a purely financial viewpoint it is not that hopeless (yet?).
Yeah, I found that weird too, but apparently the paper says that this is mathematically equivalent if they also use virtual phonons, which is interesting indeed. I wonder if these are collective excitations (the boson equivalent of quasiparticles) instead of something similar to Cooper pairing. I haven't read the paper though, so this is just me thinking out loud.
Anecdotally, as one of the "brown people" that is okay with Arizona, I've never been hit by "your papers, please".

Ironically, I feel that California offers much less in terms of "open minds" - I am strongly liberal on social matters and advocated for homosexual marriage rights in AZ. Here I feel legitimately scared to mention that I have conservative views on business affairs without fear of potentially losing a job given how quickly people are to lambaste anyone they can for any opinion that doesn't conform to the acceptable limits of non-conformity.

I'm just keeping my head down and doing my job until I can go back to a more sensible location.
From actual data, most of the Bay Area employees don't work in Tech: http://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/file/indproj/sjos$_hig...

Those types of jobs (think Retail, Government, Construction. Manufacturing, Education -- all major employers) are probably much more impacted on average than tech.
>> the real world is messy, very messy.

> Cannot disagree -but- it's nowhere near as messy as the people (often those who are to blame) defending the byzantine software stacks using that argument.

This. As a still relatively young developer, I can almost guarantee you that the initial reaction of "nuke it from orbit!!!" doesn't come from a couple of minor abstraction problems. You get this reaction when every second bug you try to fix ends in a trip to Klendathu.
I've worked with Flatiron grads and the ones I've worked with were significantly higher caliber than typical bootcamp grads. Here's why:

- They all had high powered professional careers before deciding to attend Flatiron. In a sense, the deck is already stacked in favor of these kinds of people succeeding, because they are generally successful in the things they pursue.

- The project phase of the boot camp is set up to show off skills to potential hiring managers. I have attended these and have been impressed by the big picture view of the grads. They understood the project, the tech stack involved, the product level objectives, etc. Again, this is partly because of the high quality students going through, but I found that many of them had a very mature outlook on their projects.

- The founders and core team at the Flatiron School are all very passionate about teaching and creating a system that embraces well rounded learning and not just whatever hot buzzword will get someone an interview. In working with Flatiron you get the impression that unlike most boot camps it will still be there in a few decades.
I feel like people get way too carried away with this criticism. I remember a comic circulating making fun of overactive seeking of symbolism, and the example they chose was Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven." I mean, really, could someone have possibly chosen a worse example to argue for the primacy of surface meaning?

> Because we have too many other tools we also need.

Yes, but secure messaging is a well understood domain I suppose so it's the kind of app that is simple(not easy) to write and most tools compete on UX. A lot of tools on the list at the end have complex domains that are not that well understood by stock developers, or they might require a lot of R&D or actually talking to teams that have a problem to solve.

Furthermore it is extremely difficult to market a lot of these tools to corporations. IM? it's fairly easy.

The situation with secure messaging apps today isn't so different than social networks in the 2000's. It's a formula and it's easier to raise capital on that formula at the moment.
It's easier to accuse GM of the opposite problem: Most of their software still has to be "properly" waterfalled and QAed because they don't update software on shipping vehicles. GM's software is often terrible because the software feature list was finished two or three years before the model comes to market. What bugs makes it past QA gets shipped and likely will never get fixed in the lifetime of that vehicle. As the software gets bigger and more important to vehicle operation, you can see how it may be increasingly tough for QA to keep up.
