If you are being paid $20k a year more than elsewhere, after tax perhaps that equates to ~12-16k a year. You'd therefore be able to afford between 1-1.5k a month more in expenses than earning the comparable salary offered elsewhere. I'd suggest that in SF that you maybe, just maybe break even (renting that is), but more than likely you are worse off financially.

However, SF will more than likely be a better place for career growth and opportunity. You shouldn't undervalue that, especially at the beginning of your career.

As far as buying a house goes, depends on what kind of commute you can tolerate and how much downpayment you have. I think you'd struggle to be comfortable on anything less than $200k.
That's an interesting point. I'm not sure I would trust myself to do a better job than automated tests after a (short) while. It's not really a matter of being beneath me; for example, I don't mind doing repetitive manual labor (once in a while).

There's no missing piece between the dwave and arbitrary quantum computing, dwave doesn't do that, it does a particular task (quantum annealing), to which some (but not all!) quantum algorithms can be mapped.

If you want to implement arbitrary quantum algorithms, you need a proper quantum processor (like the one described in the article), not something involving dwave; it's apples and oranges; they're both fruit but not the same and not really comparable.

The basics of quantum computing are not difficult if you know linear algebra. The state of a qubit is described using a column vector that holds complex numbers. Gate operations are performed by multiplication on the states with unitary matrices.

The point of the article is you should be even more paranoid about what Facebook has without your microphone.

With the amount of data that's floating out there about you and your friends, these coincidences are way, way more likely, and are very reasonable if you think about it.

Your friend told you about some restaurant, and then an ad shows up on Facebook.

Why is your friend telling you about it? Maybe he went there recently enough? Maybe he gave the restaurant a review? Maybe the restaurant has a list of people who've been to the restaurant before and is using Facebook ad manager to target those people and their friends? It's on his mind, so maybe that's causing him to leave enough breadcrumbs behind to make Facebook have an inkling of his interest, and you're his friend so Facebook knows to perhaps nudge you as well. And maybe Facebook actually has some idea that you and that person are meeting (yay geotracking!)

Now add a prediction system driven by deep learning models that are terrifyingly good at finding signal with a decent dose of probability (think of all the conversations you've had that didn't result in eery advertising), and you've got yourself a frightening reality where a company doesn't need your thoughts to make a decent guess about what you're thinking.

Frankly it might not even be this complicated. Maybe your network searching for or purchasing things is enough for Facebook to guess you're a decent candidate for the ad too, and you guys just happen to meet up on the same day.

tl;dr: The underlying product - properties - were actually more useful than was widely recognized. Given new demand, expecting anything other than price increases is unreasonable… but so is treating current prices like they're written in stone.

Here's one way to think about Airbnb: prior to Airbnb (and VRBO and…), housing values - both rents and asset prices - didn't incorporate all of the legal and zone-permissible demand for them.

Imagine if, until now, the only way to rent an apartment was by pre-paying for a year. Instead of $1,500/month or $2,000/month, every landlord quoted and charged a price per year, like $18,000/year.

A company or business model then introduces the idea of only charging by the month (ie, what the US market is now based on) rather than requiring pre-paying for a year. 2 things would happen:

1. Demand would increase (and prices would probably go up), because someone would be serving previously un-met demand. (From the article: "over the last three years, Airbnb has increased long-term rents in the city by 1.4 percent")

2. The customer base would change, since the demographics of those able to come up with 1 month's rent are very different from those who can front 1 year's rent. Some of these newcomers would be non-residents or short-term residents.

If this sounds a lot like what Airbnb has done, you see the challenge. There's nothing inherently permanent about current rents or asset prices, nor the current customer base. They're just reflections of the ways that a property can be used at one point in time – and there's nothing special about those ways. People got used to the current demand because the product mix changed so little for so long.

Whether that's good, bad, or some of both is a reasonable question, but in any other industry (even with other supply-constrained assets), society almost always considers it good. The underlying product was actually more useful than was widely recognized.

(If the yearly vs. monthly rent example sounds outlandish, here's another that's actually happened: 10%-15% mortgage interest rates, as existed for most of the early 1980s. 13% mortgages could change the supply of housing enough to meaningfully impact asset prices and rents, that is, create a new normal price.)

I agree with the article's sub-point that this has little or nothing to do with home sharing. The core change is that it's now possible to use an existing product to serve a market that was previously not served well.

(Note that I'm ignoring housing where short-term rentals were not legal prior to Airbnb - say, before 2013 - or were legal but not permissible under zoning. While those are important considerations, many or most short-term rental limits were passed in response to Airbnb.)

As in get them to pay before they can get the product?

Seems like they'll then blame you for not making the product you said you'd make, if they pay for a product that's made they can't reasonably make that objection (but could argue misselling I suppose).
Why would you? If your home value is going up, your property taxes are mostly static, and rents are high enough to cover your mortgage and then some, there's no reason to sell when you can hire a property management company to take care of the place and rent it out. Doubly so if you can use your primary property to help finance a second one elsewhere.
Really cool idea. It would be awesome if you could crowdsource the data for any companies through employees - some big companies don't have much transparency on revenue numbers, but employees in various positions could piece that information together through this service. Maybe even the rare private company that offers their revenue information willingly.

Reliable data on revenue of private companies would be very useful to employees/investors in determining the actual value of the company's equity.
I think this number is a massive underestimate of their annual top-line. Based on the cost of a subscription I'd bet it's in the $1B+ range.

Theres a common real estate move where you can defer your taxes on a real estate sale if you use the proceeds to buy a similar amount of property (dollar amount) [0].

So as long as the proceeds from the sale go into a similar type of property/business then you can defer taxes for a future date.

To put it bluntly, this seems like your own irrational biases against a technology than any real issue. Having a crypto wallet tied to an identity management service does make perfect sense because of the reasons detailed in the article.

Where is this risk you speak of? Can you articulate it in any way? "Flogging"? Not anymore than they're flogging Hacker News or Facebook or Reddit by having an ID verification hook into them (complete with corporate logos!)

Hell, they already let you add Bitcoin (that thing that's only ever supposedly used for scams and drugs if the cynics are to be believed) and ZCash addresses for verification.

If the people you recommended Keybase to weren't turned off by having those front and center, it's likely they won't be turned off by this either. Take a deep breath.

Well played!
git has been using a blockchain for the last 12 years, since long before Bitcoin:

Each commit includes the hash of its parent commit. These commits form a chain. Changing the contents of any past commit would break the chain. Each user of the repository keeps a copy of the blockchain on their PC, and they can fetch new "blocks" from any other peer with `git fetch` or `git pull`. The consensus model is based on human review of the underlying code; humans get to decide whether to include a block in their version of the repository.

My family fits this statement. Rather than move to a bigger house that will accommodate us, but cost more annually in property taxes, it is more cost effective to just remodel and expand the current house. Unfortunately, this moves our "starter" house up another notch, reducing the lower cost inventory in the neighborhood.

Although, at this point all starter homes that go on sale in our city are being purchased by developers, torn down and rebuilt.

> Trailers are the country ghetto.

I'd rather live in a proper house. But it's pretty common for working class rural Americans to live in mobile or prefab homes on nice properties with gardens, fruit trees, hiking trails, sheds for four wheelers, etc.

Trailer parks, which are dense neighborhoods of mobile homes or tailers, tend to be less nice and inhabited by people in poverty. Though they often have other options, like absolute run-down shacks way outside town.

Point being, there's some distinction in practice and I won't begrudge people living within their means.

Anyone who had an interest in computers in the mid 90-s to early 2000-s will remember trial software that was good for 30 days but which, if you set the clock back would give you the corresponding amount of extra time.

I even seem to recall one that when I set the clock back much more than 30 days gave me as many more days beyond the 30 as as much as I had set it back.

Then there were a couple pieces of software that would detect such trickery and which would punish you by taking away the time you had left also if you set back the date before the 30 days were up.

Anyway, with this in mind, the first thing I thought when I read the headlines was, “I wonder if one can get around this by setting the clock back”, and I doubt I was alone in that, so to say that it “probably wasn’t his idea”... I dunno man.
> similar to the anti-immigration stance on the far right

I'm not on the far right, but I can tell you that of those I know who are, precisely none of them are 'anti-immigrant'. The majority of them would like to reduce illegal immigration and improve border security, but that's also true of the vast majority of Americans as a whole.

Perhaps when you say 'immigrant' you are actually referring to illegal immigrants? Even in that case, over 3/4ths of Republicans favor a pathway to citizenship for existing illegal immigrants (including 'dreamers').

[1] Previous Gallup research has shown that 77% of Americans say that "controlling U.S. borders to halt the flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S." is extremely or very important. And 83% favor "tightening security at U.S. borders."

Value is not the same as appreciation, which is what we're talking about. The value in a structure is the use one can expect to get from it over the next twenty years, or however long it takes to completely depreciate. GP is correct, especially so for 90% of homes built in rural areas in USA. These stick & drywall homes will have major problems within 50 years of construction, period. Many will require major fixes before then. Some homes in urban areas are built better.

I was also curious about the use of 'neural networks' in deep learning or whatever. My PhD research was working on problems in computational neuroscience.

I think the use of "neural networks" is because the topology of these deep learning networks is similar to what is observed in biological brains.
I dont think a 20% performance difference is going to make people jump from Android to iOS or vice versa. That's solidly in the "only detectable by benchmarks" range.

Race is definitely genetic.
My pet theory is when you make an observation you're narrowing down which subset of the many universes you might reside in. So the particles simply are going to behave the same even though there is no way to know what reality you'll get when you check on the first one. However once you do check on the first one it reduces the subset of possible realities you are in which includes possible outcomes for observation of the paired particle.
