The other curse is to progress to IC7-9 (non manager) at MAANG making 500k-900k and unable to be hired anywhere else. The only place to go is to stay at a megacorp. Thankfully, some of these megacorps violate this article's "curse" rule and allow IC <-> M transitions somewhat freely.

It behooves IC7-9 to instead work on side hustles that can turn into profitable businesses, leveraging their employment pedigree and potential early adopters in industry, because working for a corporation is risky and plateaus.

To afford to buy a home (average value of $2.2m) where I grew up in a barely middle class area, it requires a minimum income of 400k USD. That's just a middle class home with nothing fancy.

And you're lecturing us that it's preposterous.

I guess you don't understand what things cost and the needs of real people who aren't billionaires.

Western Union predates the Pony Express by about 10 years, which operated for only 18 months. It was the Webvan and WU was the Amazon.

Duh. I mentioned A to dismiss it rather than invite inevitable conspiracy theories.

Like I said, wait until the investigation is complete because we don't know. It seems like the friend and media are grabbing attention rather than doing anything constructive.

Yep. America has the simultaneous problems of being both too spread out and too busy/dense in most areas without sufficient public transport. There has been a widespread, long-term lack of planning to arrange smaller residential areas closer to commercial and industrial areas. It's largely dependent on long commutes and automobile commutes, which is unnecessarily expensive and wasteful.

Must first start with the political operating system that cannot be reformed from within. After that happens, then it's possible to have sensible governance and effectively implementing megaprojects. Public-private "partnerships" are just subsidies to corporate profits.

Title author clearly isn't from CA. They've been hyping HSR since the 80's. Never gonna happen without lots of pork barrel waste and, like VTA light rail, no one's going to use it. Americans are in love with meat agriculture, political toxicity, feelings over knowledge and competency, uninformed opinions, and single occupant vehicles stuck in traffic with long commutes.

I can see why they sold even fewer than Apple LISAs. Crazy prices.

Davis CA enforces BUI.

Use a pastebin rather than making my eyes bleed. You didn't even capture the whole thing.

Nope. Hell no.

Changing all of the world's infrastructure isn't a "hack",

All they have to do is use AnyCast and geoip to block most users from a specific region.
