Have you worked with a real estate agent and lender to see what properties you could afford? You might be surprised with what you can afford.

I recently moved from SF to San Diego about a year ago and just bought a house. It’s not that we couldn’t afford a house in the Bay Area. Just that in SD we could afford a house in a neighborhood we’d actually want to live in.

It’s a different market down here. Lots of biotech and defense contractors. Primarily Java, C++, C# but you can find some ruby and php positions. I haven’t seen any python and very little node.js positions but they are out there. Startup scene is obviously much smaller but if you look hard enough you can find some great companies.
Is being part of tech scene a requirement? Chicago is pretty nice, affordable and cosmopolitan.

A lot of the comments here are about imagining blackness. Lately, I’ve been contemplating the infinite thinness of mathematical planes. I mostly do it when I try to sleep; maybe that’s a key; letting the brain associate certain thought patterns with going to sleep.
> are these videos just especially bad videos, or am I just not doing it right

Of course, this sounds lame and mystical, but "it depends and it's different for everyone."

My favorite ASMR videos aren't the ones with the crazy high production value and the makeup and the desperation for subscribers.

My favorite are the videos by people who are just documenting their lives.

Look, I get what you say. But consider how skeptics have used extreme predictions from Hanson, Gore and various NGOs to create doubt about the reality of anthropogenic climate change.
I'm a former Bay Area startupper (Marketing/Sales early stage and a bit of product, not an engineer) and did a stint in Berlin and am currently in Tallinn (Estonia). I think for quality of life Berlin can't be beat, it's a big city but you can choose the right neighborhood for a reasonable price and get any sort of vibe you want from small town to big city hipster (okay maybe there are a few neighborhoods with the latter vibe).

But frankly I doubt you're going to be able to secure a gig at that pay, you'll have to decide if general quality of life is worth the monetary tradeoff. The tech scene itself is much more nascent in Berlin (and way underfunded) but you may be able to parlay your 'Silicon Valley' roots into a sweet senior gig in an innovation lab or as a senior engineer at a bigger corporate that's trying to compete with newcomers which is a big theme in German corporates right now

Hah I like this! For a while I used to imagine being on a spaceship on a long interstellar trip with my family on board with me. Planning where all the cabins were, what the living area looked like, views of interstellar space outside always used to send me off...
SLC, Utah is pretty great, I almost don’t want to mention it because the tech jobs are great and the state provides a lot to do.. its like a hidden gem no one thinks about because they consider it Mormon land...

There are a lot of companies opening offices out here though!

Since there weren't any commercial relational databases available pre-SQL, this is quite true.

Codd wrote a couple of query languages before, but they apparently weren't usable by mere mortals.

SQL is over 40 years old, and still dominates. The most recent contenders had to position themselves in terms of SQL (NoSQL).
And the first non advertising link is car.com where I can search for specific cars. Now Google has lost a customer and car.com has gained one. Now I can advertise on car.com and get a much better targeted advertising.
Arguing that an incumbent business is impossible to disrupt in a large market seems like an odd thing to do on the forum of YC, an accelerator that pretty much specialises in supporting startups that disrupt large markets and topple incumbent businesses.

Not that Amazon is a startup exactly, but they certainly act like one a lot of the time.
Tech Scene for me personally provides a type of insurance. Here in the Bay Area you just have 1000s of companies bit and small contributing to this insane ecosystem that feels so that you could get a new job if necessary relatively easily.

In other cities it seems like you have a single or a few employers and if it didn’t work out with them you’d need to uproot your life and move areas again. Having an ecosystem like that allows a bit more options.

That being said I don’t imagine Chicago to be like that, what tech companies do you like in that area? As that’s what I’m qualified to do.

It's probably not quite so clear cut. For example, suppose you deploy to AWS, and have automated this to be triggered by a Jenkins job. It's advantageous to be able to run this automated deployment from outside of Jenkins, even though deploying is one real big side effect.

> But it would seem reasonable to me if there were adjacent experts. What do engineers or chemists want to see in physics?

A natural experiment in this already exists: there are interdisciplinary journals and conferences with heterogeneous editorial boards. From the outside looking in, I suspect mostly what happens is that either people stick to reviewing the subset of papers from their own community or else do a poor job of reviewing papers from outside their own community.

> But if nobody outside a field cares about a line of research, or trusts a line of research, then maybe that's a bad line of research.

I'm skeptical; a lot of research is useless until it's groundbreaking, and the phase shift is rather late in the development.

I've been in adtech for 10+ years so I'll take my experience and connections over your anonymous comments.

Nobody cares about some app that gets 0.001% of the usage and probably doesn't even have any strong identity link. "Shopping data" isn't magical nor is it of interest to every advertiser. Purchase data is also already processed by specific companies with their own properties or in aggregate by many ad networks. And, in case you missed my first comment, Google recently closed a deal to get purchase data directly from Mastercard which is far more than any single retailer could provide.

If you actually have an example of a specific app that is delivering much greater ad performance then perhaps you should share it.

Energotest | Gliwice (Poland) | Full Time | ONSITE | Senior Software Engineer http://www.energotest.com.pl/index/kariera

Energotest is a modern and well organized engineering company with a team of distinguished specialists. Many of them have managed or co-managed: design, assembly supervision, post-assembly tests, start-up of devices and electrical power engineering systems, practically in all newly erected or modernized power plants, combined heat and power plants, substations and industrial plants in Poland and abroad.

The Energotest R&D department team is looking for a senior developer who would be willing to take part in setting new directions in the development of systems for the broader "Industry 4.0". The person will help us change the world of automation systems, face the task of creating tools for engineers and firmware for devices manufactured by Energotest. Working together in the R&D department, we are happy to share our knowledge, but the ability to independently solve problems and look for information will be a desirable skill. If you have skills that do not meet all of the following requirements, but enter other areas of programming and feel that they will help develop our project or make it a unique product, we will gladly talk to you. Currently we are building a device (based on embedded Linux) and some tools to configure it (with C++/Qt).

Essential skills: GNU/Linux, Git, Bash, C++, Boost, Qt

Nice to have (in random order):

* Python (and Boost.Python)

* Experience with embedded Linux (yocto)

* Modern C++ (C++11, C++14, C++17)

* Functional programming (Haskell, Erlang)

* Web technologies (Elm, PureScript)

Extra notes:

* It doesn't harm if you also know MFC, C#, Delphi and Windows in general

* Official language in Energotest is Polish

* Remote work is partly possible (1 day/week)

If you want to avoid the recruitment path, take on the challenge available here: https://energotest.github.io/Challenge/
An analyst with Piper Jaffray recently projected their ad business will rapidly exceed AWS when it comes to being their profit center. By 2021 sometime they're forecasting $16b in operating income just for ads. That would make Amazon's ad business one of the few dozen most profitable businesses anywhere.

> The analyst estimates Amazon's ad business operating income will grow to $16 billion in 2021 versus $15 billion for Amazon Web Services that year. He believes Amazon already has product search market share "well above" 50 percent. Olson noted the "Other" segment, where Amazon's ad business resides, grew sales 72 percent in the second quarter.

So easy that it still hasn't been done yet? What's everyone waiting for then with 10s of billions in profit available?

In fact it's the opposite happening with Google now pushing into searches for flights and hotels with far better UX, even though those verticals were dominated by other vendors.

Good luck prying those out of the Navy's cold, dead hands. Just look how long it took to finally get rid of battleships.

You'd think that after the complete shitshow that was mc02 they would have started to see the light. But I think instead they're just burying their heads in the sand a bit farther.
Can you even get native asm out of golang or write it?

I was under the impression you could only get and write that Plan9 stuff that still needs to be translated.

In high performance Java world it is pretty common to bust out jmh (Java microbenchmarking harness) to see the actual assembly that hotspot produces in its various passes. It is an amazing tool.

By far the most common way to optimize functions in Java at this level is to run it through jmh and tinker with the Java code until hotspot produces what you want it to. Does that work in Go too as well as it does in Java?
Had a friend that recently washed out of SoundCloud and returned to the U.S. I spent some time there and went to the disrupt Europe when it was in Berlin. I might be able to swing it long term as my wife has an Italian passport but would be a longer process with that.

Seemed like when I was there it was something about a rocket and cloning US tech and SoundCloud were the two big games in town.

Has there gotten to be a more critical mass of companies there recently?

Wait, so the web version is a C rewrite that is then emscriptened to JS but was specifically intended for the web? That's really interesting. Can you say a little bit about how you decided to take that approach?
Yea I googled it, Research Park Triangle it seems. It seemed really interesting. Housing seemed to be pretty reasonable by California standards.

What neighborhoods are worth checking out and what companies are interesting.

Saw a lot of NetApp and IBM. Nothing wrong with those just seems like not a lot of companies just a few of ones from first glance.
Thanks, "it depends and it's different for everyone" was the answer I was expecting, but I wasn't sure if there was something else to it that resulted in such a large population of ASMR videos springing up so quickly. I'd think if it were 100% varied, they'd all be super niche, but the fact that they're all labeled similarly and part of an overarching "ASMR" movement made me think there was some common thread that made them "work" for everyone.

I'm watching/listening to the video you linked and the metal clinking sounds (and the lady's voice/accent) are nice and pleasant, but they're not "doing" anything for me worth a 30 minute video quite yet -- will keep watching with an open mind and put some more effort into finding what's right for me. :)
Maybe they can just fall back on having discovered what they're good at, by the time they're 20, because they've had the opportunity to try many things, because their parents recognize that the job of a parent is to help children discover themselves, not fulfill their parents' ideas of success, least of all financial.

Serving at Starbucks may not seem like a 'solid' option to you, but I assure you I've met many more happy people there, than sitting in an 'open-office', being bad at their job, knowing they're bad, and still doing it, because of how 'solid' it is.
Lot of good stuff happening in Scottsdale and Tempe Arizona. Cost of living is fantastic.

Lehi, Utah as others have mentioned is great too. I moved from there back to AZ to escape the show though.
Your comment does get at the core of the issue I think. Many of us through all kinds of circumstances, have found ourselves in adulthood without a robust community.

Perhaps I am wrong about mass telecommuting isolating people. Perhaps instead it would give them more time and opportunity to be part of and support their communities.
Learn to program, really well.
Seattle? You can also land a job working remotely, and live whereever you please.
Portland has a thriving tech scene with 4,782 open jobs [1] at the moment. Home prices are about a third of the median in SF/SV.

[1] http://portlandtech.org/
The idea that home ownership guarantees growth is a fallacy. In most cities prices only keep up with inflation.

Ergo you are financially better off renting, and investing the money you would have spent on a house.

To properly absorb the calcium, you may also need magnesium and vitamin K. Make sure iron and calcium are consumed separately.

Pretty familiar with San Diego, it’s the nicer part of Southern California from my perspective.

My Cousin just opened a Brewery called the Kensington which I believe is the name of the neighborhood as well.

What neighborhood did you land in?

What’s the percentage difference in Salary you’d expect? Say Mid Level Developer in SF is ~150-200k at this point would it be 100k median or so?

I think it's worse when you go from Kindle to a fully fledged tablet. iPad + Pencil seems like the best way to do this, far and above, and yet virtually no apps support markup with the Pencil. Lost opportunity, if you ask me.
I have just been trying to write more concisely. I am pretty verbose, as my comment history is evidence of. I appreciate the kind words!
Amazon is here, Twitch is here, Google is in the process of opening an office here. Microsoft has an office too, but I don't know whether it's engineering or not. Pivotal Labs has an office here. There is also Siemens who is desperately looking to adapt to the "digital transformation". There is a pretty healthy startup scene of smaller companies, check e.g. https://www.startupnight.net/startups or https://www.adlershof.de/en/companies-institutes/directory/. There are also a number of smaller companies that aren't startups.
I hear Seattle has gotten just as expensive as SF not true?

Remote is interesting for sure. The rise of companies like Buffer and I believe the Wordpress company is 100% remote.

Definitely solves half my issue also looking for somewhere actually nice to live.
Not suffering from alcohol withdrawel, but I listen to MP3s of tv shows I know inside-out; works really well for me. I cannot sleep when it's silent.

I would have liked to know why these mods don't just stop doing this free work if they're getting abuse for it.

Without understanding their true incentives to remain mods of these large sub communities it's hard to assess this issue in a more balanced way. Can anyone else shed more light on this?
The statistics about masters and professional degrees are mostly irrelevant; those aren't research degrees and, although there are some exceptions, people with those degrees don't publish science.

1.77% of the 25+ population has a doctorate degree. Even among those, a huge amount are not PhDs and are not really research-focused. E.g., go read the CV of the typical University of Phoenix doctorate holder.

Furthermore, it's worth noting that the world got a lot more complex since the mid-20th century. The entire field of Computer Science happened, for example.
For living? There’s a lot of choice, I love sugarhouse which is where I am. It’s close enough to hit downtown without being in the “heart of it”. Which, in slc is still not that much... you can easily choose to be further or closer to downtown life depending on what you want. A lot of the tech scene is actually down south by Lehi. I commute that direction about 25-30 min and it’s not too bad.

There are some established big players here, Adobe, and EBay and I think Walmart labs has an office here. I work for Ubiquiti, which is growing out their office here pretty quickly also.

A lot of small/medium sized startups too... Google around for “Silicon Slopes” which is the sort of name the local VCs give the area.
There's nothing here about liability for nuclear accidents. Under the Price-Anderson Act, private insurance covers up to $450 million per plant. Collective self-insurance provides another $13 billion overall. And the US government may cover anything over that, pending congressional action.

Without that government-mandated system, and "guarantee", there would have been no commercial development in the US. Also, it's notable that this system covers both accidents and decommissioning.

I'd be a lot more comfortable with further nuclear development if worn-out plants had actually been decommissioned, and not just mothballed. And if there were a coherent plan for waste disposal.
I used to have a terrible time falling asleep. At some point I stumbled on the technique of just "breathing like I'm sleeping" or just acting asleep based on memories of the ultra-relaxed state I was in just after waking. Probably some combination of the relaxed breathing and mental focus on breathing make it work. The real beauty of it is that now years later I can fall asleep anywhere in 3-5 minutes if I'm even slightly tired even without having to consciously think about this technique anymore.
> Nuclear has always been marketed under a lie, that its cheap, and perhaps too cheap to meter. In reality, well engineered projects are insanely complex, requiring huge material and labor costs during construction. And then there's maintenance.

... and fuel-cycle then decommission -related costs.

About those last ones: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17844976
In the end the target is web assembly, so even writing the code directly in js would require some compilation. Why C and not an other language that can be compiled to web assembly? I guess that was mostly a question of taste.
One thing I'll mention is that if you don't already know what ASMR feels like, you probably don't get it at all.

I doubt anyone's first ASMR experience will be through an ASMR video. It's more like something you've experienced on and off since childhood, at the store, the library, the barber shop, the doctor's office, etc.

And when the ASMR videos started getting popular, everyone who experiences ASMR heard about them and thought to themselves "So that's what that sensation is called! I thought I was the only one!"

So don't treat it like a spiritual journey where you'll find some lost part of yourself. It's really just a tool for relaxation, and if you "get the tingles" that's just a plus.
