This does exist in major US cities, especially the older (by US standards) ones. I'm in San Francisco, in a "good" neighborhood, and restaurants, groceries, bars, and multiple forms of public transit are all a short walk away. This is very different in car centric suburbs/cities though.

Have you encountered modern shifters? They're fairly involved.

Electronic shifting, hydraulic brakes, liberal use of sealed cartridge bearings, carbon fiber parts requiring strict torque specs...these are definitely different than 70's friction shift ten-speed bikes.

Or, they're about to collect their paycheck from the photoshoot they just participated in.

That's basically the best possible outcome.

Toddlers are the reason why, despite being able to afford nice furniture for the first time in our life, we're sticking with ratty couches and old Ikea coffee tables.

I think a lot of companies view their free plan as recruiting/advertising


if you use TailScale personally and have a great experience then you'll bring in business by advocating for it at work.

Of course it could go either way, and I don't rely on TailScale (it's my "backup" VPN to my home network)... we'll see, I guess.

...are Turing Complete, so what you can do with them is exactly equal.

But they're only equal in the Turing complete sense, which (iirc) says nothing about performance or timing.

That's exactly what I ate :)

Only time I've eaten meat in the past ~30 years was when I ate some invasive fish that had been caught in a killathon to restore native habitat. Not that it's my role to "give you a pass," but I certainly do in this case!

That claims ~$420k compensation with ~$25k "other." If he is playing any substantial role in bringing in $100M+ funds for a good cause, I'd say this person's compensation isn't something I'm going to get worked up about. For VHCOL areas this is middle class household income (looks like they're based in NY NY, so...VHCOL).
