<p>That doesn't seem right. Looked up the rates for San Mateo and San Francisco county rates[1] and they're both under $0.400/kWh. On the other hand my parents in San Diego are paying over $0.450/kWh with rates scheduled to go even higher in 2024.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/RateComparison" rel="nofollow">https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/RateComparison</a></p>

<p>IMHO, if you're really set on improving your resume, a service is worth it. Use one for the cheapest option possible and run it a few times on your resume -- you'll see the patterns and things it looks for.<p>In general, it would be things like:<p><pre><code>    * Avoid repetitive action words - "Built systems, built software, built infrastructure..."
    * Add numbers/metrics where you can: "Improved site performance by 20%+" 
    * Line items should not be over 2 lines

</code></pre>
Aside from that, choose a _standard_ resume format/layout. Don't get fancy with columns, colors, etc.</p>

<p>As for someone looking for a new position, I can give you anecdotal evidence.<p>A little background: I have 10+ years of professional experience. Polyglot. Experience with extremely small to medium sized companies.<p>I re-used my previous resume, which did decently well around 2019 when I was looking for a new position, but with updated info for the newest position I had. Applied to a number positions that I was very qualified for -- crickets. This put me in a bad spot mentally, honestly, as it felt like signals that I'm just not "good enough" for fancy "big tech".<p>I then updated my resume layout to be more parseable (admittedly this is another variable), then signed up for a service that helps ATS-ify my resume. This involved adding numbers to certain line items, reduce repetition, honestly some good feedback in general. Immediate recruiter messages the next day.<p>I was extremely averse to using a service like this as it just felt "dirty" or was a sign of my personal ethics "giving in" to some sort of system. Honestly, I still kind of feel that way, but this is the game we play now. I know for a fact I've been auto-rejected from a number of roles that I was 100%+ qualified for because of my resume.</p>

<p>I remember that as well. I thought that _was_ the internet since that was my first real exposure to home internet. Outside of that it was just my elementary school and the library. When services like NetZero and Juno came out, my mind was blown knowing that I didn't need to have the entire AOL ecosystem load up -- which could take a while with a 14.4k modem and a 133MHz(?) Pentium with 32MB RAM.</p>

<p>The vast majority of the time the answer is no. I've even had recruiters contact me assuming I was with a company I left 2 years ago -- a company that no longer exists.</p>

<p>I guess it depends on the state. A friend recently was hit and had their car only slightly damaged. They went to insurance car shops that insurance recommended, but they all declined to fix the car. They ended up getting paid out and fixed it themselves since they're already skilled with maintaining vehicles, and they pocketed the rest.</p>

<p>If you're going back and forth everyday, I would ignore every suggestion to stay outside SF, except for maybe stays in the Daly City-adjacent areas since more trains run through there. I travel to the Bay Area on occasion for work (and used to live there for a few years), the travel time + BART costs wouldn't be worth it IMO.<p>In terms of "Hacker houses", I've only known one person (a coworker) who stayed in one long-term, but he was pretty eccentric. He complained about his living situation a good amount, but, attempting to reduce some of his biases, they seem to be in a "you pay for what you get" type of situation.<p>Last suggestion: book an initial stay through a hotel/Airbnb with a short duration -- with the intent of finding a co-living space if you're really that intent on living in one. This will give you time to scope locations out _in person_ and potentially toss out options that only look good in advertisements.</p>

<p>I don't think your arguments accurately cover the OP's argument at all. The key distinction is literally the first sentence: "Social media businesses should not charge* for APIs."<p>If you have a community [whatever] service that would not be a business. If you have a blog, that's could potentially be a very business-adjacent, but I'd argue it doesn't cover the "social media" qualification, so that also doesn't apply.<p>If you run a business and much of your content is user-generated (because it's a social media site), the OP is arguing that API access should be free/at cost.</p>

<p>I think I agree with your premise, but maybe not the delivery, but I also think the other comments about the Myspace -> Facebook and Digg -> Reddit moves are significant enough to believe the opposite. These days IMO users don't want to re-learn something that's not just ingrained into daily life, but ingrained into minute-by-minute routines.<p>Personally, the biggest platform move I've made was the switch from IGN boards (objectively the top 1% of message boards at the time) to Reddit. During the switch it felt completely wrong and different, but as time passed I saw how much more Reddit offered compared to a traditional message board. I hope there's something out there that would make me feel the same with this next transition, but so far I don't see much for me yet. All I can see in the near-term is (hopefully) more productivity.</p>

<p>> How many lives do you think would be saved by capping speeds to 60 MPH on I5? If alcohol or distracted driving are not factors, I would say probably close to zero.<p>Amazing how you'd think it's actually close to zero. So many dangerous situations are removed once speeding is at least attempted to be removed from the equation.<p>To name two: reaction times are increased, stopping distances are reduced. I probably know what you'd say next: the driver is distracted. Not the speed's problem. To which I'll say, yeah of course the driver's distracted -- it's because the driver's human and will never be paying attention to the road 100% at all times.<p>IMO driving speeds, and how a community feels about it, are huge indicators on how hostile and how selfish a community can be.</p>

<p>IMO it's not just about being bite-sized, memeable content catering to the lowest common denominator. It's that nearly everyone making content is copying marketing strategies. Back then it was more of a show-and-tell vibe, now everything is trying to sell something.</p>
