I wonder how this relates to other findings about the relationship between stress, health, and mortality. It's a TED talk, but I found it to have some practical and interesting conclusions. Beliefs about stress impact how much harm stress causes.

My coworker (a mobile game developer, currently working on a web game), says:
I don't think WebRTC is ready yet for games, too much complexity on the server side.
Instead, he's using websockets for his web game.
Disclosure: we work for a WebRTC company.
Also looking for a Financial Analyst and Inside Sales person well, both based in SF.

You would think. I remember reading about how finance firms and maybe also consultants increasingly interview and make offers earlier to college seniors. If you have lots of debt and the company is a good enough name and they're paying good enough money, people take the offer. People are increasingly anxious, and this helps them know they have a pretty good job, for sure, next year.
This trend helps bigger, more established companies. E.g. Google or Microsoft know they will need many someones next year, and they have the resources and hopefully the desire to train up the people they hire. Startuply Inc may not be around in 9 months, and doesn't really know what they'll need then. Maybe the current sentiment of startups = good helps counterbalance this a little.
I doubt there's been a sudden influx of med related workers. I suspect the Bay Area's universities, pharmaceutical, and biotech companies have created a slow influx over time. Like tech, a long slow one. Because a large chunk of "tech" is medical related.
It's worth excluding the lab techs, genetic counselors, admins, etc., from the medical field if you're going to exclude the non-engineers from the tech field. It makes for a more apples to apples comparison.
It depends on the tech worker. Not all tech workers are in those roles. It'd be interesting to see the distribution of all tech salaries. Entry level marketing, support, qa, and sales are all in tech, too.

I wonder how popular Glassdoor is outside of tech. And there's always the uncertainty about how accurate it is.
The calculator says: "One limitation of the calculator is that the income range that defines each income tier does not vary across regions or cities within the U.S. If you live in a relatively expensive area, such as New York City, it is possible that the calculator places you in a higher income tier than it might if a cost of living adjustment had been made. Conversely, if you live in an inexpensive part of the country, the calculator may place you in a lower income tier than it otherwise might."
There is widespread, often reasonable disagreement about what middle class means, either in terms of salary or total assets. Or cultural practice.
It's true, people do under-acknowledge other industries - law, finance, medicine.

Average SF health-related salary in 2014 - 67k.
"The industry employs 20 percent of the city’s workers, with nearly 122,000 jobs. The average annual wage across all jobs in the sector — from pharmacists to surgeons to genetic counselors — was $67,410."
When does health stop and tech being? Often it's a fuzzy line.

What if prop 13 didn't apply to investment property? How would the situation be different? Your parents and whoever could get the main benefit, and new buyers would still brunt the main cost, but at least people who want houses could possibly get them instead of investors and other people parking cash and/or literally and technically collecting rent.

I wonder to what extent this can be explained by varying individual responses to salt. Maybe none- definitely possible. The recent study showing blood sugar response varied widely amongst individuals to the same foods, I wonder if scientists will arrive at that conclusion for salt.
