Those are some awesome statistics: 6 out of 6 successes, practically unheard of. But, it sounds like you know exactly how to study for it: that whitebaording tip probably helped.

it's more than 83% when you take into account all the other taxes: there's not just federal and state income taxes, please take a look at your pay stub, there's a lot of other stuff on there.

are you just trolling for responses? well you got me. You can't possibly believe that 70% marginal on > 100k is anywhere near reasonable. Here in CA, that means, you're income taxes would be 83% plus medicare and social sec u

yes, but they aren't, and that's why we're in this mess. not enough housing driving up the cost to the point where most can't afford it anymore or barely afford it.

SF residents are nowhere near rich enough to afford the struggles. Even people in the top 2-5% struggle desperately to afford housing, renting out every bedroom in the house just to afford to stay there.

The so called modern day web frameworks (Vue, React, etc) are needed if you want to get a job and become a hardcore FE developer. But, if you just want something that will maximize your productivity, you should stick to the basics: HTML, CS

In Danville, we see restaurants closing all over the place. Their prices tend to be about 35$ per person with tax and tip for an average meal at a nice restaurant. Prices are high enough now, where we almost never eat out anymore. Even at

Well... yes, this problem has been developing for a long long time, over the last 50 years CA has been restricting supply ever more, like those WWII frog experiments where they boiled water very slowly to see if the frogs would jump out. S

It's the biggest failure of modern day education: an inadequate understanding of the basics of supply and demand. Such an irony that this is so prevalent in a city with one of the highest percentage of residents who have so called edu

There sure were a lot of google and facebook products on that list. I wonder what the success rate of google/facebook in-house created products is vs the market as a whole. Also, another interesting question: what is the start up succ

that's a good point. I didn't realize people thought of oatmeal like that. I really enjoy oatmeal. I put some bananas on it or some pumpkin seeds, or strawberries or a little bit of honey and the whole thing tastes absolutely d

meat is carcinogenic. as for fruits and vegetables, i'm hoping that someday the local food production revolution will start picking up steam and help make these more cost effective, perhaps with some automation or vertical farming. f

You really have to differentiate between the food that's offered at a dollar store and everything else. I shop at the dollar store for things like shampoo, deodrant, toothpaste and it's superb deal, not in any way making me poore

even if it does get worse, a lot of people will simply leave it alone and forget that they're paying 10$ per month, simply yet another monthly expense. Amazon prime knows this. Once, you've got the muscle memory of typing in &quo

258 miles starting at 26K! that beats a Tesla! i'm just not so sure about the 26K part (they said might), afterall. anyways, the future looks bright here.

but how do those work. do you have to keep buying them every 6 months, or can you just leave it there while it keeps providing interest at that rate? and will those rates continue to go up? mysavingsdirect has for the last 2 or 3 years sh

Well, if you're saving very aggressively to buy a house in the near future, it makes a lot of sense, especially in places where housing is extremely expensive. Slow deposits and transfers are not a problem at all. You only need to tra

is this a texas thing? here in CA, i get the impression it's perfectly okay to load your car up quite fully. We put 5 people in an SUV without 3rd row seating on a regular basis without any kind of shame.

your absolutely right. In the long term house prices must be roughly pegged to inflation and if society is actually making progress on providing houses it would be even less than inflation. anything else simply isn't sustainable. tha
