Modern mid rise and skyscrapers are actually safer in earthquakes than the Victoria homes of San Francisco. If our housing consisted of modern housing our city would suffer way less damages than what will happen today if the big one hits.
I'm not familiar with PHP. Can someone explain this to a newbie?
Students will always be younger than you. The foreign aspect doesn't change it.

If we had solid immigration programs that gave an easier route to permanent residency and didn't make work visa applicants indentured to their employer foreign engineers would be demanding higher salaries and the wage gape would reduce. The current system makes it easy to kick out foreigners so they know their savings are going back to their home country so they don't care as much. Also, they can't play the job market because their visa status is largely tied to their employer.

If we introduced some simple policy reform (and overhauled the H-1 program) the whole foreigners cutting wages issue would go away.

I find that Pivotal is pretty opinionated with the workflow you use. Specifically, it is meant for an agile process that is exactly that Pivotal (the consulting group) uses to develop their client products.

You can not venmo money instantly. The UI makes it seem that way, but it takes a few days for payment to process and as such, Venmo has become a target for scams: http://time.com/money/4036511/venmo-more-check-than-cash/

So do not use Venmo for commercial transactions (buying things of Craiglist for example) and do not assume the money transfers immediately.

Also shame on Venmo for misleading their users; they should do a better job of explaining how the transfer actually works.
