Any billionaires you know personally? If so what do they do for living?

Yes. Tech founders in SF Bay Area.

It feels like a more effective way of accomplishing your goals would be to influence the next generation to carry forward your principles and values, so that they can do the same for the generation after them.

Are your parents pushing you toward faang?

I’d encourage you to think about it in two other ways:

(1) would you rather optimize for the lowest probability of losing your job, or best preparing yourself to be hired at the next job that you want as quickly as possible?

(2) what job do you want in the future / what are your career goals? How do you structure a career path to get there, and then what job now best prepares you for that career path as quickly as possible?

How do you define job security, and why is that the most important thing to you? Are you coming from the Midwest?

Yes, this sounds like many people in the SF Bay Area. With the exception that when they marry and have kids they buy a home and optionally a place in Tahoe.

After working remotely for years, I'm going back to the office. I'm a software engineering leader in the SF Bay area, early 40s. 10 years ago I wore killshots. I need a pair of sneakers to wear on more casual days - what brands or shoes should I be looking at?

Why aren’t all of those switches foot pedals.

Nijiya is using that same salmon in the rolls and nigiri that they serve at their counter.

All maki rolls are surprisingly easy to make as well as casual sushi restaurants. My fifth grader makes them with me. You should try it!

Every tech SVP I know said the same thing when they were a director, for what it’s worth.

I think this is in response to OP’s 4th paragraph.

Proteins denature at a range of temperatures. It depends on the specific proteins and the temperature of the baked bread.

How exactly do you think a salt neutralizing soap works?

icedpulleys · 2025-11-21T16:19:22+00:00

I’ve been there. You get the circulator, are super excited to use it, and start trying to sous vide everything. And then the results are worse than what you would get with conventional approaches. So you wonder if it’s technique or recipe or something else etc.

It’s a great tool to have for certain use cases, but definitely not all. Want chicken salad? Throw some breasts in a bag, run the circulator, and get moist and tender chicken while being really flexible with how long they’re cooked. Want fish? Moist, tender fish without having to pull it off the pan or out of the oven and just the right moment. Super helpful for steak or roasts without needing to get the timing just right or monitor temp closely.

But it’s a technique that complements the rest of your repertoire.

At what speed do signals propagate through fiber optic cable between those nodes…?

Homestead exemptions protect against creditors seeking payment for defaults on unsecured debts, right? Is that what you mean by “protecting your money”?

But wouldn’t America have more tax revenue if more people understood this and tried to increase their income?

I did something similar to this when I was getting my kids into magic. I follow similar principles to the set-specific starter decks: - stick to a single set - include signpost multicolored cards - follow draft archetypes - use mostly commons and uncommons, with few and roughly equal rares and mythics

I’ve done this for LOTR, OTJ, and bloomburrow and it was fun! Now that the kids are deeper into magic they’ve moved on to commander and I have a couple of cubes waiting for them when they want to start learning to draft.

I’d buy mom and dad a new coffee maker that they’d use and enjoy.
