+1 to the podcast. He seems to be a calm guy and it is good to hear about his thought process and the vision he has.
Interestingly he loved playing video games and he owes playing video game to help him in critical thinking.

on: Base salaries offered to software engineers in SF, NYC, and Seattle
The above data is only of engineers hired using TripleByte platform. I saw only a handful of open positions with Apple.
The data is based on the type of companies uses the platform to hire which probably doesn't involve big paying companies such as Googles, FB, Uber etc

One reason on top of my head: Using such communication protocol would require changes to the other services consuming it.

on: Bay Area professionals indicted for H-1B visa fraud
In bay area there are quite a handful of such firms which fake person resume and help them find out the job. What surprises me is that employer does catch the difference in experience while interviewing and bunch of positions are filled. These firms file h1b shown more experience than what a person does actually have and make good money out of such schemes :(

on: Does It Make Sense for Programmers to Move to the Bay Area?
I have been in Bay Area for little over 3 years with a fairly stable company. The opportunities are many in all technical fields(pro) but again it comes with the cut throat competition(con). One has to compete with people from FB/Google or new grads who have mugged all DS questions. My interest to stay in Bay Area is with the hope I could be able to join one of the companies which will be Uber/Airbnb of tomorrow and gain great experience and $$$.

on: Ask HN: If we are in a VC bubble, how would the bust play out?
I think bubble will not burst but it will start to deflate, when bunch of companies with 1B+ evaluation fail to give the investors huge promised returns. This will dry up seed funding and Series funding for startups. Investors will loose their money and series of layoffs at startups. This may impact the growth of big giants but nit sharply.
Lastly, Silicon valley crazy rental could be see decline too.
