alot of people are saying it's just a dead cat bounce. REalVision presented that in most of the past drops of this magnitude, you typically see this type of rebound before it goes lower back to retest the recent lows.

not only that but in highly competitive markets like the bay area, they may even hold out for buyers that use one of their own agents (and try not to sell to others). That way, they can make 3% commission on both the buying and selling sid

As a consumer of Zillow and Redfin, I like their website. But, as a house buyer, I really dislike the fact that they always try to push their buyers Agents on you.

well, it depends on whether your in a high margin or low margin business or and whether or not your a monopoly business. Amazon, entertained many offers from many cities to find the best tax incentives. I would imagine businesses that comp

To get people to move somewhere, you mainly just need jobs. Everybody wants jobs. There's no choice, people have to go where jobs are because employers have much more bargaining power. So, create some large enough tax incentives for

There are many examples where that's not true: places like the beautiful college town of madison, Houston, Chicago, etc. High living costs are a self imposed problem: housing regulation and zoning.

It's important to remember a simple fact about artificial sugars: they're about 10 times less dense than sugar (at least the one i use, which is a combo of maltodextrin and sucralose). This means that 10g of sugar is sugar sweet

are there unemployment statistics for software engineers? The overall unemployment statistics are probably way off from the subset of professionals and or software engineers.

It's to keep fear of lay offs high thus making people work harder. this is especially effective with H1Bs. However, some well qualified engineers won't be bullied by such routines: they'll simply go work somewhere they'

i think it's just standard hire/lay off routine. It's not about the employees that get laid off. The purpose of the lay offs is to keep everyone else working even harder. People will work even harder to keep their jobs.

I don't get why it's been downvoted so much. I'd expect a much warmer reception from the HN crowd.

In the bay area, Non-engineers, like product managers, MBA types and data analysts, etc are having a really hard time finding work (sometimes taking 1 to 3 years to find their next job!) based on what I've seen in my circle of friends.

The real problem is that the people who decide to use the software are not the ones actually using it. This is the problem with top down decision making. And this is why enterprise software often sucks

We already have way too many people on the planet. if no one died, it would cause all our environmental problems, lack of wealth problems to multiply. Actually, I think we need to get our population down to a much lower level where we&#x27

i've seen the 1500/1300$ figure thrown around a couple of times by tesla owners: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/door-handle-replacem... As, for the drive unit, I thought it used to be 10K maybe

Yup. I absolutely agree. this is exactly why tesla is not on the top of my to buy list. it's about total cost of ownership. All it takes is a couple of bad door handles (1500$ each) and a broken drive unit (10K$) and now your total

It's misleading because the rich that they're talking about already paid a much higher rate when they originally got the money in earnings. It's just the 2nd round of taxation: the capital gains which is lower, as it should

That's actually a very good point. That's kinda why Housing will always return 0 (real return - not including all the costs, like property taxes, repairs, HOA, insurance, etc) in the long run. And if we're actually making p

Your not the only one. MBA majors have it just as hard if not harder. For the majority of professional jobs out there, there's a vast oversupply of labor, and thus the unemployment rate for professionals is much higher than the overal

Here, even in super expensive CA, In college I got by with less than 2-3$ per day on rolled oats (70c per lb), Onions, potatoes, flax seeds, green peppers, bananas, whole wheat flour etc, all of which were less than 1$ per lb if you go to t

One lesson we can all learn from this: You don't hire a x10 engineer, you nuture it. Year by year, as an engineer develops more and more of the skills required, their productivity increases. A lot of engineers doing hiring, think th

Think of it like Climate Change. Sure, we can't fix the entire environment by planting a few trees, but every little bit helps. we owe it to future generations to try our best and get as much housing supply as we possibly can. The wh

Look at all the cities that don't have Zoning, like Houston, TX. They don't have the kind of housing problems that over regulated CA does. Despite a population of over 2million (3 times more than SF) and growing much faster too,

believe me, I abhor the thought of not having the usual invisible hand determine the outcome of the effects of supply and demand. But, when your head is bleeding out in an intersection, and you're about to die, it's not the best t
