Columbus and Pittsburgh come to mind in the Great Lakes Region. Though Columbus home prices are at record highs they are still EASILY affordable for even a junior dev out of college (if you don't have crushing student debt). Nashville is another one on the radar as well. You could even probably swing something good in Detroit.

I'd rather people walked or biked instead....

Mainly because those tests aren't really a good measure of aptitude, and minoriies and women tend to (at least historically, idk about now) score lower. So you would end up with a company full of white, Asian, and Indian guys. (Not making a judgement here just pointing it out)

You could also use the test as a filter mechanism, but I'd just not take the test unless you paid for it as the recruiter. Even then they require months of serious study for most people. It just doesn't work well overall. Take home "work samples" tend to be the preferred method right now and they seem ok as long as they aren't abused.

I'm one of those people. For me it's about privacy, and that Apple Maps is just good enough. In my daily use I found that Google and Apple both screwed me up in the same ways (not nothing a road was closed, etc...). Google Maps is probably better overall, but I'm just speaking from my experience.

> Families who would once have eaten potato waffles are now experimenting with lower carb butternut “squaffles” (slices of butternut squash cut to resemble a waffle).

Why is that bad again? I'm a vegetarian, or at least, I do my best to minimize my impact on the destruction of life (nobody is perfect). I don't like "clean eating" and I don't like all the GMO hysteria, but I do think you should try and eat as few processed foods as possible not only because of your health, but because of some of the extraneous benefits. Eating "raw" foods means you tend to cook more, pay more attention to what you're eating, and be more in tune with where your food comes from. All the Instagram (I still can't believe people use products like Instagram and follow 'gurus' it makes me sick) diet fads are nonsense. It's ok to eat a burger and fries once in awhile, but spend more time eating food that you know what's in it, you know where it comes from, and you cook yourself. Food shouldn't be a lifestyle choice or virtue-signaling.

I think it's sad that your view that philosophy is worthless has become more of a mainstream feeling than it ought to be. Not everything needs to be measured in terms of usefulness. Interestingly enough, I think you find many developers have a natural affinity for philosophy. All this talk about AI, for example, is just philosophy.

Healthcare, like, the mandatory profits for insurance companies?

Immigration is a loaded topic. We can't afford to let every single person on the planet who wants a better life to move here. Maybe they should work on improving their own countries instead? Mass immigration is unsustainable with growing populations.

And calling an argument intellectually lazy is being "intellectually lazy" itself.

You're delusional if you think the Democrats and Republicans by and large have any real interest in the American people. They are both in bed with corporations and they both need to be rooted out and removed from office. If you vote Democrat you're just as bad (maybe worse since you should know better) as Republicans.

Would you like my to post a myriad of articles which continue to support the claim in the OP? Idk what more substance we need here.

Yes. Just because he's taking a tough stance doesn't mean it's irrational. What else should he say? Nothing? Maybe "well if they Lee threatening us we will just do nothing"? What exactly is an appropriate response? Does it even matter anymore? You're paranoid and you don't understand the political nature of this discussion. Saying "he got mad and launched missiles because he saw dead kids on TV" just highlights this.

You missed what I wrote. Of course they disagree on things, but those things are largely superficial. They don't disagree, for example, on foreign policy. They don't disagree on the NSA collecting bulk data, they don't disagree on promoting corporate welfare. They disagree on some important things too, like environmental policy, but that's just a matter of who is paying who.

Calling this "absolute bunk" just demonstrates you don't know what you're talking about.

> "Their answers will be compared with those of current Goldman employees, who have already been identified as exhibiting traits that mark high performance such as teamwork, analytical thinking and judgment, Jahansouz said."

Awful idea.

Idk why you're being downvoted. Even if the parties have a disagreement it is usually just superficial. Both are still in favor of things like bombing, for example, both wanted TPP (and Trump killed it, funny enough) and a myriad of other things. They aren't exactly the same, but they are on a lot of matters.

Right, so it still has the weights incorrect because San Francisco isn't #1.

To me that just means the weights are wrong.

Well, clearly this is incorrect because San Francisco isn't number 1.

Then what I'm wondering is why you trust the generals? Or anybody for that matter?

One thing i have been curious about is why women don't find jobs like construction, or plumbing or electrical work appearing. Any thoughts?

No it's not. Even if you despise Trump this isn't reasonable. This is just hyperbole and nonsense.

Sure, so why can't we accept that then, if that's the case?

In other words, pigeonholing them into careers? Girls get to "be whatever you want to, darling". Boys have to make sure they bring home a paycheck and support their family. Why?

Yes. Where I live it would be impossible to rent this place for 6 nights/week at $138/night.

And nurses get paid well too. You can also point to well-paying construction jobs and the like. I think (and I'm sure I'll get obliterated for saying this) but it's easier to support getting women into "tech" because they are high paying, physically easy jobs and they are super cool. Nobody thinks being a dock worker or a plumber is a cool job, even though they are very accessible with minimum post-secondary education (also notice more women go to college than men?).

Cool idea, very inaccurate.

And we also need to make the loans dischargable and place some of the burden on educational institutions. Aside from universities that can be very selective, all other schools have an incentive to bring in as many students as they can. They have no financial risk if the students drop out.

With respect to your final point about teachers, firefighters, and doctors (please keep in mind I'm not against what I'm about to say) it comes down to the public nature of these jobs. When it's tax money, it's everyone's business. When it's a corporations money, it's only their business. Now obviously it's more nuanced than that, companies receive tax breaks and what have you, but I think that is largely to blame. Software engineer salaries aren't a matter of public discourse or political whims. Doctors, teachers, firefighters, and police officers are.

Shouldn't even be talking about it. It's simply not an option. Violence is not acceptable. Period. Discussing it as a repercussion for a possibly misguided manifesto is not an option. It's disgusting.

Tell me about it. Reading that made me sick. I don't necessarily agree with the original manifesto, but the idea that "a good number of the people you might have to work with may simply punch you in the face" is an acceptable thing to say is ridiculous.

If this "manifesto" was actually racist and bigoted, it still doesn't excuse violence, or the suggestion of violence. That is FAR worse. It's un-American. We tolerate groups like the KKK or Black Panthers or Westboro Baptist because even if they are vehemently WRONG, they have a right to speak freely.

Not to mention, one person published what they thought at risk of being ostracized by their community and workplace. The other person doesn't work at Google, has 0 real risk, and is just taking the status quo stance and presenting a holier-than-thou approach.

This is all you need to see: "Either political analysis of authoritarian regimes, or interesting facts about science, depending on my mood."

What this means is:

Wahhhh Trump! I'm pretty moody and better than you, so I'll only discuss something if I can look good doing it or I can impress everybody.

Well I certainly wouldn't use it as a measurement. Why should we?

But politics are hardly relevant here. Somebody was pointing out interesting comments about Facebook and now I'm reading about Trump? It's low-quality material and has nothing to do with the discussion.
