It’s absurd this is being framed as an NYC thing. Literally hundreds of thousands of people in the vicinity of the city are dealing with the same issues in single family homes

She didn’t have time to garden because she just had a baby!! This surely doesn’t happen in Englewood

Yes taxing mostly non residents (that’s the focus on the fight, mostly local politicians representing the bridge and tunnel) is much better than taxing residents even more. No problems with that take

Putting a “danger meter” on your bank account is dumb. Cancel all bail, let some rich kids rot on rikers for 12 months before they get to see a judge and tell their side of the story, then see the whole system magically get fixed

Can you imagine the city just announcing your private employment 9-5 job now ends at 7? rip to any super who wants to see their kids

Deciding it this way is dehumanizing them

levels.fyi is a great resource, the app blind can be OK

generally for NYC big money without crazy expectations once you pass the interview are Google, Meta, Amazon, there are probably more others could add

That wasn’t great TC for summer 2022, very different world now, and generally devs have a great life that this is considered on the lower end. Just as an example that’s within the range J.Crew are advertising for NYC devs, and I would categorize them (retail) as even below banking. Generally “tech in a non tech company” means less money

A Meta new grad 0 experience would be making just under $200k in NYC

400k is almost imaginary in the tech in a non tech company world

JPMG are also shit-tier in terms of tech compensation. No one is working there that could get an offer at big tech. So making $400k also hints they are either super senior or part of a very small elite quant team. Both of which a 6 months phase out would make sense

100% chance your home town has better finds than NYC.

The rent alone means just getting donations and selling them for $10 doesn’t work. If you’re looking for $100 t shirts you’re in luck

There are plenty of cheap thrift stores but it’s all just a bunch of h&m and next

The same people who are outraged Google will pay them less in Alabama have no problem paying Indians or Romanians a fraction

The more fully remote becomes palatable, the easier it becomes for companies to partially off shore work

And this isn’t even shitting on offshore workers, I’m sure there are plenty that are smarter than my coworkers

That ended more than a decade ago. Probably closer to 2 decades. Outlet stores sell stuff that’s made for outlet, many times without any connection to the original company who is licensing their logo

this article is a pretty good summary

It was always easy to identify the real leftover stuff at C21, there was usually a single rack for the entire store, stuff had extra protections on it for theft

The rest of the store was just licensed crap tourists thought was “good quality” because of the logo

So literally nothing bad happened to you except a New Yorker told you to F off. Why did you move here to begin with? Because absolutely no way you grew up here

The difference between someone here for 6 months and here for a decade has always been the ability to navigate your life towards the good places

Sounds like you’re self inflicting this on yourself by going to the places you feel are scams

Not all markets are like that, not all bodegas are like that. be a regular at some places and they’ll actually give you better than average treatment. And don’t tip if you don’t want to. Most people don’t tip on a cup of coffee.

leave the custom tip at restaurants, how many even have that mobile machine? Not that many (Maman is the only one I can think off

Sounds like they did you a favor

Hey genius, the Bronx DA is Darcel Clark

He’s obviously just pandering to both sides, but in such a dumb way

• he’s the one signing off paying for all these extra shelters

• let’s say it’s deemed that migrants aren’t allowe in NYC homeless shelters. How do you enforce? SSN + photo ids to get a bed in a homeless shelter? What if someone’s ID is from another state? Are we obligated to shelter them?

So we paid for the bridge and tunnel to have an easier time to get to the city? F it charge them triple the current plan for congestion pricing

They’d probably fit the pre requisites for forced hospitalization

RIP to the cheap momofuku Asian shawarma concept right next to it. Loved that place

Time to forcefully lock up reckless drivers (say, 15 traffic points) in mental institutions, before they hurt anyone

Can’t fact check alternative facts

I think this is actually a great sign on how our accessible hospitals are pretty great. I would imagine a billionaire has access to all sorts of publicly known (like Sollis) and stuff the public doesn’t know about, private ER services. And yet they choose to share the hospital with the rest of the city. That’s a great sign

So no crime was committed against you, you were about to commit a crime and/or escalate the situation, and you’re calling out the terrible situation our city is in?

So basically the only thing we can see on your site is a bunch of rents that are within ~15% range of the average we already know. Ground breaking stuff.

How exactly do you “return” 2 buildings? I guess the lease signing articles were mostly BS if you can break the lease so easily
