> You are paid based on how difficult you are to replace

May be true in general but definitely is unrelated to location based pay (wouldn't it be easier to higher another faceless IC in the bay area than in OKC?)

Somewhat unrelated but Citi's software has been ... not very good from my perspective as a customer. The app is crashing/down frequently, as is the website.

Which seems pretty smelly to me from the outside.

Why is this?

Is there a reason to not trust levels.fyi data? Or is this more focused on startups?

Just an FYI, your infrastructure and machine learning engineering positions are dead links.

Mumble is pretty crummy for text chat from my experience. I still use it for voice on a fairly frequent basis, but having very ephemeral text logs (on client restart), and a lack of pinging users makes it a huge pain to use for text.

I would happily still use IRC however.

The "preview" button at the top of the page goes to a form to enter my email for "book updates".

I'd be interested in reading a sample, does the book updates form provide one?

It's probably set up like that to mirror vim bindings, after all, "J" does look __sort of__ like a down arrow.

Do you know any "absolute minimum you must know about Unicode" articles that do go into enough depth?

My university recently implemented a system where some majors (CS/Engineering/Buisness) students would have to pay ~20% more per semester.

Mine is 4.77, though I don't use uber that much. I'm also pretty sure they display a recent average, with old (>1 year?) rides not counting.

I also feel compelled to give drivers 5 stars because people IMO tend to look down at anything less than the best. I realize it's not the most accurate comparison, but would you buy from an ebay/amazon reseller who had a 80% approval rating?
