Yes, yes it is. Somerville mades me go to NYC when I want a quiet vacation. The absolute noise and other issue is much lower, but the city is designed and built so poorly it can't handle it.

Based off their actions in the past, Tesla will do as much as they legally can to avoid bad press due to accidents in a Tesla. And if you are in a publicly covered accident, you can be sure that data will be used against you in the court of public opinion (see "he took his hands off the wheel prior to the accident" comment from Tesla about the gore-impact fatality).
For me any kind of motivational posters on the wall are an immediate red flag. Usually it means that things aren't going well and management can't come up with anything better than hanging up posters. Well-run companies show their values by the way they work. They don't need posters.
Yes. This is why distros like Gentoo and others prefer building from source. Then you can enable as many architecture specific extensions your compiler supports.

The opposite of:
"only the rich can get a house"
is not
"everyone gets a fair chance of getting a house",
but
"not even the rich can get a house".

Think of two families that want to get the same house, both having about the same wealth, but one is desperate to get the house and therefore willing to pay more, say because of health problems, while the second family can wait for another property.

You lose a lot when you "leave capitalism at the door".
That’s just what I’m saying about your other example, most of the money spent on “cloud computing” from a consulting and implementation side is nowhere near Seattle. It’s spread out all over the US. In fact I would think that Seattle would be the last place you would want to be even if you are working for Amazon as an SA since the pay is the same everywhere, most of your face to face interactions are with clients, and you can live some place much cheaper and be just as effective.
This situation kind of falls into a grey area. The code in question is running locally in the web browser, most likely whether you have an account or not. If someone didn't create an account then they couldn't have agreed to allow this and most likely wouldn't have even been aware of this intrusive data mining script running in their browser. If there's nothing surreptitious or suspect about the code in question, why all the obfuscation and oddly specific legal clauses against "reverse engineering" LinkedIn's "source code", i.e. the script that's now running on my computer and/or device without my permission or knowledge. This all seems done in bad faith and exceeds a reasonable protection of a businesses intellectual property. I find it disconcerting that major corporations like LinkedIn get away with things that could have major legal repercussions if you or I did them.
The fact that they can find a new job almost instantly is why they came here in the first place. It would take many competing employers showing up to make another labor market similarly appealing. You'd have to pay me a lot to move to the middle of nowhere, because not only am I not excited about living there, I'm still better off moving back here for the next job.
I don't think that's how this works. It's pegged to a basket of currencies, so the value will match that basket. The composition of the basket isn't tied who chooses to acquire Libra.

New avenues for monetization!
One of the best things I did was unfollow everything (i.e. friends, family, pages, celebrities, the kitchen sink, EVERYTHING) on Facebook. This explicit unfollowing took a few weeks and wasn't something done in a day.

Now, I have the advantage of using facebook for all the useful things I need such as "Login with Facebook" and Messenger without having the risk of ever succumbing to the "Feed"

Part of my experience here showed me how Facebook would automatically "make me follow" all my House/Senate representatives even if I never explicility followed their pages/profiles.

Ocasionally, I still have to unfollow these auto-followed pages when I log in. But for the most part, I've been feed-free for a 5-6 months now. It's great!
IBM: I was to be sent at short notice to the International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam. They wanted every one to wear a "uniform": black pants and an IBM shirt.

They had to scrounge me up some XXL polo shirts.

We actually agree here. I think we're speaking past each other.

I'm arguing that "only $12,000" is dismissive of how impactful a difference that makes to the lives of people who don't live in a big city.

While it is true, that there are simply not enough apartments the rest of your argument is wrong.

In berlin, the rent limits don't work, because of various reasons, one for example is that companies simply rise the costs that are not rent for appartment, force the people living there out and then raise the rent.

The rent limit is not the only thing that has to be done but it is a step in the right direction.

I always hear the argument about investors and the rent limit, but there are multiple reason why that is a bad argument.

The investors had about 20 years time to fix this issues and make a good living out of it. Instead they raised the rents to exorbitant values and didn't built new appartments.

Investors can still make good money of appartments if they just rent them for a fair amount.

Of course that means they don't get a 200% percent profit, but I don't think that should be the case anyway.

Homes are not up for speculation and profit and they should never have been.

A good chunk of the houses in berlin where owned by the city and state and sold for far too little.

If you are in the military, you can use challenge coins to get yourself free drinks. The idea is that when everyone is at a bar, the guy or gal with the challenge coin from the highest ranking officer never has to pay for rounds of drinks.

I've never seen a civilian use one. We don't spend much time in bars, and the feeling I get is that if I did try to whip one out in the presence of uniformed personnel -- a challenge that I would almost certainly win, given who this coin was from -- that would be a tremendous faux pas.

So at best, this is the sort of object that carries some real meaning in a very particular social context among a very particular set of people, but that meaning doesn't carry over to anywhere else. Like baseball or Pokemon cards, I suppose. How would you feel about your boss switching out Christmas bonuses for packs of World of Warcraft cards?

How Can We Increase Our Reading Speed?
Translated from the German Wikipedia article:

In 1947, António de Oliveira Salazar initiated a rent freeze for Lisbon and Porto, which remained in force for over 40 years and ensured that for some old-style apartments in the late 1980s, <5 euros/month had to be paid. After the freeze, rent increases remained limited to inflation until 2006, so that rents remained very low. Many homeowners let their old apartments become derelict because the money was missing for renovations. Sanitary facilities with shower and toilet were missing in many buildings. In the center of Lisbon, about 20 houses per year collapsed at the end of the 1990s due to poor condition.
Wait, so you pay overtime, except you pay 40% less? I must be misunderstanding.

Also please tell me you aren't proud of paying for overtime and I'm misunderstanding that too. That should be the minimum expectation.
If there is both a pool of qualified candidates that don't think the pay is high enough and thus don't apply and a pool of candidates that think the pay is so high there must be some catch and don't apply, they could both be true. You have to decide which pool to target.

At least one of those two pools exists, because if not it means there are no qualified developers looking for a job, in which case perhaps the issue is with the definition of qualified.

Also, there is the possibility they are getting great applicants that are filtered out before it reaches the individual currently here. It may be possible HR or some automated system is filtering them in such a fashion that good candidates are lost. Maybe HR is demanding 7 years experience in a 3 year old technology.

What we can reasonably assume is that the hiring manager is not finding qualified talent and qualified talent does exist. The idea that qualified candidates are only applying to FAANG or unicorns seems far less likely than something about the position is the reason they aren't getting anyone qualified.
I read today that Fortress Investments purchased over 100,000 affordable units from the Japanese government for 60bn JPY in 2017 and plans to spend about as much on renovation. [1] Apparently firms like this usually expect an 18% return on these kinds of investments.

Yes, cheaper places exist. If you're offering up your geriatric, white, sleeper country club town as a superior place for tech workers, I'm not sure what to say.
I'd so put a long solar roof on that ._.
But also: Everyone has higher rents, not just you. This will generally be reflected in the cost of living (i.e. not just for your rent will go up, but so will other expenses).

It's not trivial to do this calculation. Some things will surprise you:

You can get cheaper electricity bills in Seattle than where I live (Naples, FL), but you don't need air conditioning in Seattle. Living in Florida without AC is ill-advised.
The only thing that is supporting the human trafficking "industry" (let's face it.. it's organized and it's filling a demand in the market) is having that kind of work made illegal. It forces the demand and supply into the black market.

There is and always has been a demand and (willing and consenting) supply for those services. The best you can do is to put in a framework in which they can do so legally and safely. It's not going to knock out all trafficking. But when you have a superior service that's legal, safe and reliable. You're going to lose the financial benefit of running it on the black market. (Also you'll end up having an entire framework to deal with crimes related to the work [i.e. abuse, violence related, etc])

I don't buy any of this. Growing up everyone around me saw the city as somewhere you begrudgingly went out of necessity and only lived there if you had no choice, and I'm inclined to agree. In virtually every aspect I find more countryside-ish living much more pleasant.

Consider virtual reality and remote work. I imagine much of the workforce will move to virtual offices in the near to medium-far future when corporations finally come around to realizing they don't have to waste so much money on rent. There's no need for programmers, graphic designers, reporters, and employees of lots of other professions to work in a physical office. So really, as cities become less of a necessity to certain jobs, I expect a moderate exodus to nicer areas, halting growth or even decreasing population in urban centers.
> Learn to recognize toxic people; stay away from them

> You'll find people that, even if they don't small talk you, they will bad mouth everything else -- even some other people -- openly.

So true. It has happened to me so often - actually at most brown-field projects - that when I get onboarded, someone is telling me in which bad state this and that is, even how bad this and that person is supposed to be. Although I tend to be optimistic, when the project seems to be nicely challenging at first (not only from the code), I somehow take over this negative attitude for the rest of the project.

I think people should be able to informally talk about projects, even gossip sometimes. But it has its limits, especially team/project leads should IMHO be really careful about taking negative stances on certain projects/people/teams. In fact the limits to mobbing are fluid.

For me this is the single biggest annoyance in any job.

There are still loads of men around that have decreased fertility or even infertilitt due to mumps. Without ever asking around I know at least three men that had fertility problems, probably due to severe orchitis after mumps.

In Sweden they included mumps in the vaccination programme 1975ish, which probably means the USA got it sometime during the 60s. That means you have probably all met someone that had testicle or pancreas inflammation due to mumps. Both of them very very painful.
The order of: announce train station, wait a bit, start building project and change zoning (with that "wait a bit" gap being critical) makes things work a lot better. Property value skyrockets for a while, and people who arent happy with it can sell and go live somewhere else with the money if they don't like it.

The worse situations is when a zoning change happens and goes into effects quickly and construction projects start without people having had time to get the hell out. Selling near those projects is hard (no one wants to deal with it), and the people who live there are stuck.

I bought a place near a construction project that was almost done, and right around the time it ended, the city issued special permits for other big projects across the street that no one really expected, and now we're a bit stuck (People in our building cant find buyers without losing large amounts of money, and until they do, have to deal with the unexpected construction).
Japan and Korea have managed to build some of the densest cities in the world on active fault lines. For a first world world power economy like Germany reinforcing prime real estate in their capital in the 21st century is not an infeasible economic obstacle.

No. Cities should be invested in and planned to make themselves affordable and accommodating to all of the labor they need to exist, instead of “skilled, talented workers” shoving off all of the misery onto lower wage workers just because they can get away with it. It’s not zero sum. Look at cities in developed countries like Japan, Austria, Singapore, or the less Capitalist parts of Europe.
