    She's sexist. Not classist.

    Err...don't you mean he's sexist?

    There's a picture of Jeff Reifman at http://resume.jeffreifman.com/ which I found by clicking links from the submitter's handle.

    For those who don't know, the Amazon campus is located in the Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle. Lake Union is just north of downtown. Ballard is two neighborhoods over. It's not clear to me why Ballard is the only place being ruined by development. I would think that Fremont, Queen Anne, and of course Lake Union would be more convenient places to overrun.

    Maybe he can't get a date because he's a creep? Please Google "Nice guys of OKCupid." Look at the women who actually commented on his post: http://webcache.googleusercont... It's the same error as always: correlation != causation. The guy isn't actually a techie, but a manager (overhead), who has no credentials whatsoever: http://resume.jeffreifman.com/

    Yeah, sorry - it'll be up again shortly. I've been having problems with Varnish cache on traffic spikes today. This is my WordPress setup with W3TC & Varnish in case you are interested: http://jeffreifman.com/detailed-wordpress-guide-for-aws/

  6. Here's a real link to the "dance tax" article by girlinatrainingbra · · Score: 5, Informative · on Former Microsoft Managers Now In Charge of Washington State's Budget
    The real article about the "dance tax" in Washington is at http://jeffreifman.com/2013/04/12/seattle-dance-clubs-fundraise-to-pay-microsofts-tax-bill/ , whereas this /. article only links to the boingboing article which then links to the dance tax article. The short version: washington caves to ms and allows them to bail on 1.5 billion (BILLION!!!!) dollars in tax liability, then it goes on a crusade to nickel-and-dime other businesses for obscure tiny laws like providing the "opportunity to dance", proven by yelp postings that "people like to dance here" or by obituaries that mention that XYZ "liked to dance at $geoloc".

    In other words, the rich get to write the laws (or fund the writing of laws, wink, wink) that allow them to avoid taxes whilst the poor (or relatively poor-er) get told to pay higher taxes. Sounds like the republican platform has taken over all of washington state to me.
