I live in the middle of Capitol Hill and would love to ditch comcast, so I went to check this out. Good news, I qualify for "high speed" internet of up to 7Mbps!

Daniel is also a great guy.

Not to mention that he described his relationship with his wife as polyamorous during the interview. I can't imagine a scenario where this would be even remotely appropriate to discuss.

I introduced my girlfriend to Civ 6 after seeing her play a bunch of similarly-veined strategy games on her phone. She was hooked within days so we started a 'hot-seat' campaign via Steamcast and passed the controller back and forth for hours on the couch.

At some point it became clear that my path to victory was an all out religious assault, and effectively all I was doing was micromanaging my missionaries and apostles.

This got old extremely quickly in the hot seat format. I'd kill for an engaging 2 player couch-coop gameplay mode in here that didn't make us hate each other.

> Gaming is maybe the one mainstream application where local compute is important

While it isn't as mainstream as gaming, music production also requires a lot of local computing power. Even with ridiculous bandwidth, having a high fidelity sample streamed elsewhere, processed, and streamed back to you would be extremely slow. Not to mention, as a keyboard player or drummer, the latency would be atrocious if you tried to play a synth that was being computed in the cloud.

In many cases, you pay a tax penalty for getting married. My girlfriend and I, who own a home together, would pay roughly $7000 a year more in taxes were we to get married.

As someone at a major tech company that is routinely involved in interview loops, I spend at a minimum 25-30 of the 55 minutes I have asking about specific items on the candidate's CV. When white-boarding, I'm interested in two things: a) can they actually write code, and b) how well do they ask questions and collaborate with me when working through the problem.

That said, having gone through loops from the other side, I know this isn't always the case and that your mileage may vary.

I'm a developer in Seattle that moved here from Vancouver. While rent isn't much cheaper here, the cost of living is lower and my net income is 50% higher now than it was in Vancouver, not taking the exchange rate into account at all.

After 3 years here I've now purchased a townhouse in Cap Hill. I could have never afforded the house I just purchased in a comparable Vancouver neighborhood.

My girlfriend worked for a startup in Seattle that offered "unlimited vacation", mainly because they didn't want to pay out employees that stock-piled unused vacation days.

In reality, it was nowhere near "unlimited vacation" as everything still needed to be approved, and it was very common for vacation requests to not be approved for a variety of business reasons. She probably ended up with ~20-25 days off per year, including stat holidays, which is the same as you'd get at Google or Microsoft.
