Tesla (TSLA 5.66%) is one of the leaders of the electric vehicle (EV) industry, but investors are more focused on its autonomous full self-driving software (FSD), which CEO Elon Musk believes could help it become the most valuable company in the world. But Tesla might be falling behind in the autonomous driving race, at least in terms of commercialization. Uber Technologies (UBER -0.79%) operates the world's biggest ride-hailing network, and it partnered with 18 developers of autonomous vehicles, some of wh ...

作为一名失业的软件工程师，过去一年投递量即将突破 800 份，此时的我已不感到惊讶或失望。 DoorDash 是一家美国知名的在线外卖配送平台，成立于 2013 年，总部位于加利福尼亚州旧金山。 身为有房者却住在小拖车里，这有点奇怪。事实上，我有 3 套房：一套位于纽约州北部铁锈地带大学城的翻新起步房，还有一片美丽的偏远乡村土地，上面有两间 简陋的小木屋，距离城里的房子 1 小时车程。对于一个有工作的专业人士来说，供养这些房产总体上还算容易——所有房产的月供加起来，比加州湾区一套体面的 一居室或两居室公寓租金还低。 起初，我几乎没花什么钱就买下这些房产。城里房子的一位室友每月租金足以覆盖房贷，小木屋的一位租客承担了乡村房产的大部分房贷，我残疾单身母亲微薄的 政府补助刚好够支付剩余部分。 为了照顾家人并通过房地产积累长期资产，我舍弃了西海岸的一切——我认识和爱的所有人。西海岸早已不存在这样的机会，而且已经超过 15 年了。 凭借全职工程师工作带来的约 15 万美元年薪（这是我 20 年里一步步稳步打拼来的），我勉强能覆盖所有开支、维护费用，以及为房产长期规划的翻新工程，还能 保养开了 16 年的日常代步车，每年 ...
