It's an extremely odd decision by the author to publish this piece. Port attacks on cryptocurrency accounts is nothing new, and outside of publishing the number ($100k!) there is nothing special about this account of events vs the countless other near identical articles that have been published on Medium on the same old attack.

The reason I say it's odd is that he's an engineering manager at BitGo, which is a leading cryptocurrency custody solution! His job is literally to secure and protect institutional cryptocurrency wallets, and to publicly tell the world how careless he was with his own personal account looks extremely poorly on his employer despite the fact that this was an unrelated incident.

It's frustrating in SF where it seems like the only night time social activities are drinking-related and very few businesses outside of bars/clubs are open past 8pm or so.

One thing I love about going to Asia is the vibrant night time activities that of course includes bars but also night markets and late shopping that is as much for families as it is for bar goers.

I can't help but think to myself "how does this person live here?" whenever I interact with a service worker in SF, particularly one that doesn't appear to be in school. It's not a healthy reflex but I have to admit I have that thought all the time.

To be fair, it sounds like you haven't experienced what it is like to be a full-time academic yet. Anecdotally I hear many more complaints from friends who are in academia than in industry. Low pay, bureaucracy, and rocky path to tenure come to mind...

I think it boils down to "comparison being the thief of joy." Social media of all types are basically one giant comparison machine, and the people that are the most visible on social media are the richest/best looking/most successful etc.

Outside of tech, there are certainly industries that thrive on low-paid junior workers and get away with it because there are so many desperate for a "foot in the door" that they don't have to pay more e.g. entertainment, most D.C. gov jobs.

A bankruptcy rarely means a company actually "dies"...but it would be quite the wake-up call for SV.

For the most part I've found flexbox to solve 90% of the pain of working with CSS.

For those on the West Coast, Hattie B's recently opened in Las Vegas at the Cosmo.

The author of the tweet that inspired the post lives in Japan, and as a first generation Taiwanese American and occasional traveler to Asia one consistent observation is that it's much more common to eat out than cook than here in the US. Kitchens are tiny in most stereotypical "big Asian cities" and eating out is cheap and options plentiful.

Point is this trend has been the case in Asia for a long time, and the only reason why I don't think it's really the case in the West is because the cost of operating a restaurant or even food truck is high enough that the cost of eating out isn't as economical as it is in Asia.
