Elliot's Emperor Qianlong and Ebrey's Emperor Huizong are interesting English-language reads into court life and helps break up the idea of a united nation. The North just kinda invaded every few centuries and took over, it was a thing.

Given the pay disparity for a software engineer in most of the country it might be cost effective to have a pied a terre in the bay area to keep the higher pay and fly commercial whenever they need you to actually show up at the office.

Cutting after the fact is lovely, but I’d take a job for a given salary in a cheaper location but refuse the same job/pay in downtown NYC or SF or whatever.

I can totally believe that Facebook wouldn’t validate the address before siccing the pigs. No one make the CEOs address your own address of record.

"Hello employee, we need your current residential address in order to properly file payroll taxes and generate your W-2." Even if you can get mail at a street address, your home state tax agency will not be happy with you. Although if you live in an income-tax-free state  and don't mind paying California's rate, no harm no foul besides a little light perjury maybe?(On the other hand, a FB engineer makes good money but not "play games with the taxman" money.)

Discussion Quorum posted:Easy. "Hello employee, we need your current residential address in order to properly file payroll taxes and generate your W-2." "Did you earn any income outside of the state during the 2019-2020 tax year?" Even being (potentially) double dicked by state taxes is probably made up in a couple weeks of not paying Bay Area cost of living.

I'll steal the commentary of Gin and Tacos on the Klobuchar thing: quote:The klobuchar thing is a non-story. It is an announcement that she is being “vetted” by the campaign. Unless the campaign is even dumber than anyone can imagine, many people are being vetted. Most likely someone close to Klobuchar leaked this to generate attention, or the biden campaign leaked it as a trial balloon. It's just usual veepstakes poo poo and not a sign of absolutely anything. Hell, I think Warren and Abrams have already done campaign events with Biden, Cortez-Masto is on the shortlist, Harris too, Baldwin got some play the other day, and who knows how many others.

facialimpediment posted:I'll steal the commentary of Gin and Tacos on the Klobuchar thing: Yeah it's pretty much this. Campaigns vet anywhere from 3-5 people for final consideration and upwards of a dozen or so before that. Also this is likely getting leaked by Klobs people, which...is not good for her. Long story short, it might be her and her people trying to get her ahead of Warren, Harris, Abrams, everyone else. Problem is, it tells Biden and his people her team can't be trusted to not leak poo poo But hey we live in hellworld so watch Biden pick her anyways..
