If by skills you mean being a 20-something Indian non-citizen, sure.
I've interviewed with Amazon and Google three times each. It was clear each time that I never had a chance, that they were going out of their way to disqualify me.
The elephant in the room is that he's part of the problem. He insists on his employees living in the silly valley, where housing is ludicrously expensive. He's just adding to the problem.
The issue for me is that none of the services has complete coverage. When one has to subscribe to multiple, overlapping services to get the desired content, the price adds up as does the hassle for "which hoops do I have to jump through to watch show X?".
I live where I do in part for family reasons -- a relocation package would be pointless.
I work closely with a guy on the other coast. If my employer were to have an office anywhere near me, I'd go in there and be no closer to the other guy. This is the unspoken bullshit in their claims -- a distributed team in 20 homes is still distributed in 20 offices, or even 10.
My previous employer happened to have a local office that two of those I had to work with went into. One was a mouse with minimal English skills. The other was a pompous tool with English not a lot better. There was no collaboration that was not electronic and the stentorian jackass made it impossible to work effectively. The office was a clear detriment to productivity.
Many companies that allow telecommuting have a clause in their paperwork stating that it's at their pleasure, so unless someone has an explicit contract, lawsuits are unlikely.
My understanding was that Rand disappeared due to Grace's substance problems; maybe I'm confused. She had been intended as a romantic interest for Kirk.

"56.1% of the housing units in Santa Clara County, CA are occupied by their owner. This is lower than the national average of 63%"
I'm amazed that it's that high. I strongly suspect that if the numbers were broken down one would see that people who own have owned for some time, and that there is a considerable barrier to first time buyers. One routinely sees that salaries do NOT offset the housing cost, part of why home sizes in the silly valley tend small.
Tack on the bullshit of community property, the housing bubble pop, a special-needs kid, and having seen what state "hospitals" did to a family member.
Then every bully that is rewarded with a promotion, every predatory co-worker, every lying fat-cat executive with a goofy name, every abusive boss becomes a direct threat to your family's future.
That, my friends, is stress. For those who've never been to the Silly Valley in recent years: everyone is competing with everyone else, 24 hours a day. There is no off / down time, ever. Housing has become so escalated -- thanks to the bullshit companies who insist that employees relocate there -- that the $ amount listed in the article could maybe get them an hourly rental with an hour commute. The entire region is a karmic black hole.
One thing about Portland is that compared to eg. Seattle, the pay:housing cost ratio is lower. That is to say, while housing is less expensive, pay is disproportionately lower.
No traditional taxi I've ever been in had a driver to whom the term "professional" could even loosely apply. They've tried to physically steal my credit card, thrown a fit when I don't pay cash, are often unlicensed, and drive recklessly like they picked the wrong week to start amphetamines. At an airport one is compelled to take the first in line, whether they are legitimate or not. On the street, they routinely ignore hails.
My Uber/Lyft experiences have varied, but none have even come close to the nasty shit from taxi drivers.

Most of all, those of us using a TV. I bought a TV-specific camera just for using Skype. My son can't sit still, so a laptop's FOV isn't a good option
I've seen firsthand what the TSA does to checked laptops. NFW. I'd FedEx my laptop both ways before I'd do this.

Truth.
I have experienced this, and it's not restricted to devs.
I switched because I was tired of FF saturating my system and beach balling with more than a dozen tabs open.

It's a thing that doesn't pull in all the shows my wife wants to watch on HBO, Showtime, and Netflix
Given the contempt the PRC has for living things, I'm assuming the leakage is significant.

"luxury" and "apartment" are mutually exclusive.
Ended up with a circular dependency with Cyrus that prevented recompilation. Also went to Dovecot. Apologies to jgm
Plus "artic"
Or what BeOS was to ... well anything.
There's also the eating of random shit off your foot while on-camera.
Please let's stop pretending that Linux is not Unix. For all purposes that aren't trademarks, it is.

How's about the fact that he's partly responsible for the housing situation in Seattle in the first place?
Take Google, which in several recent lists is the best company in America to work for.
... if one happens to be 30.

Or be a durable fully functional OSX laptop that weighs less than 10 pounds.
