JAFTEM

Also have bad internet in LA. I grew up in North Dakota though, and back there my family is getting 1 gigabit internet for $100/mo from Midcontinent.

Absolutely bizarre and ridiculous that North Dakota, a state that has far less developed infrastructure than either coast, has better internet than Los Angeles.

IME growing up on the poverty line and now working as a dev and living comfortably, I get serious guilt trips whenever I spend money I don't need to spend.

GeoCities in the early 2000's is where I first created and built something with a computer and the Internet and the experience started the journey towards becoming a software developer. I still remember using a hit counter to track how many people visited my cartoon fan-site (I was 10, 11 years old) and getting excited over 20 visitors.

I've completely cut out sugar too and it's intriguing how the body responds. I once accidentally sipped my partner's coffee (filled with sugar) thinking it was mine and I actually gagged.

Poach said junior devs from the Bay Area to LA or in general? Sort of confused with your second statement. The crazy thing is that every one of my CS major friends I graduated with at USC moved up the coast to the Bay Area or Seattle, or to the east coast in NYC.

My Nexus 6p is the same. At exactly 15% battery if I open specific apps I immediately get notified that my battery is 0% and my phone turns off. This only started within the last 6 or so months.

It's not a matter of what's possible but rather a matter of who has control and access to that data. Do you want a decentralized platform or Apple to protect your records. Fwiw I'm not advocating one way or the other.

My gut tells me the job market is worst for junior devs in SoCal. Junior level openings aren't growing nearly as fast as the number of students trying to break into the workforce. A total of 0 of my friends at USC who were CS grads stayed in LA.

I mentioned the Valley, and having a West LA airport I don't find silly at all if it cuts LAX traffic in half, contingent on OP's idea of public transportation into and out of West LA relieving the 405 and the 10. OP's idea isn't to increase air traffic, it's to disperse it.

>Metro lines cute

Yes, that is also what OP was addressing. Faster lines between these theoretical airports, because metro is slow. These would double as public transportation for commuters. I'd love a straight shot with no stops from LAX to West LA to DTLA.

I like that idea. The links between each could double as public transportation for all, just include connections with existing metro stations. It would encourage the city to build around each of those nodes: put one in West LA, one DTLA, and one in the Valley, improve the one in Inglewood. The 405 from LAX to West LA and the 10 from West LA to DTLA are among two of the worst stretches in the country.

Though, people in for eg. West LA would have fits over the idea of airplanes flying over their sacred lands.

I don't think it's in Facebook's interest to lose control of how they make revenue.
