Bearsville, Woodstock, Saugerties. The Rondout in Kingston has a certain charm but may be impacted by flooding.

Downside is you need a car or take one of the Peter Pan buses. Could Amtrak to Rhinecliff and taxi.

I'd hope they negotiate a ferry (maybe NY Waterway) from Hoboken, PATH is fairly crowded already and that Christopher St stop is a one–exit nightmare.

IBM did this, and cunningly bought land in the weird area where Connecticut cuts into Westchester County, NY. This let them put the HQ near exec homes but routinely threaten to move HQ to the other state in order to extract tax benefits from NY. "Moving" to the other state simply would mean building a new building ~500 feet across the state line, barely changing anyone's commute.

I tried commuting from Poughkeepsie (well, that odd stop one stop south) during the dotcom 90s and it nearly killed me. The train was fine, but that final 30 minutes on the subway downtown just pushed it over the edge. Gave up after six months. If you can manage it and keep to sane working hours (I was working 9:30 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. routinely) keep doing it.

I don't know what the precise internal process is but have been told by multiple former coworkers, now at Google, that any time I've applied for a role and gotten they've been asked to comment on their experience with me at whatever previous roles we overlapped in.

I eventually asked Google recruiting to put me on a do not contact list after going through the process multiple times.

A manager who fired me from a previous job before he was at Google (well, he now disputes that I was fired, just that my role was eliminated) bragged to a now–fellow Googler that he had blocked me from getting a role at Google NYC twice now, not knowing the Googler's prior friendship with me.

St John's Terminal really isn't the same neighborhood as Chelsea Market. It's little over a mile to the south.

And forget even applying if you've ever had a negative relationship with a coworker who now works for Google…you'll get greylisted and ghosted midway during the interview process.

I have kept copies of code and email from every job since the 1980s. Some of it is now hopelessly unusable since codepoints have drifted (I mean, the raw data is still there but the characters are garbage in ASCII, are probably badly transcoded EBCDIC).

Why should Google continue to refer traffic to these sites for free without compensation?

She's not going to win, but Cuomo is going to lose reelection. He's so thoroughly fucked up the subway he's lost NYC.
