The San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward MSA[0] contains San Mateo and Alameda Counties, so Redwood City and Fremont are included.

Santa Clara County is not included, however.

That is awesome, it lead me eventually to discover the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara MSA (which is the 'other' side of the Bay) and this comparison site (https://datausa.io/profile/geo/san-jose-sunnyvale-santa-clar...)

> if it fails, the failure is contained

What about the failure mode when the courier doesn't follow your parents instructions and leaves the package on the porch?

Now you have the code to the lockbox of the key to the house sitting on the porch where anyone who approaches can gain access to the house.

The lockbox was for the packages themselves, not for the keys to the house.

Oh boy, took your comment to finally get this. I take lockbox to mean the thing you put on the front door itself to gain access to the house.

It means that, too - real estate agents use the term for the little key box they use to let other agents see vacant houses.

Personally I'd use the term "locker" to refer to a box placed outside in which to store packages.

You change the code, and a few packages get stolen just as would happen if you didn't have the box.

Don't put your house key inside the lockbox!

That's still a 40 hour work week, just with the hours distributed differently.

9h Mon-Thurs (36h total) 4h Friday (4h total)

It's definitely still an improvement over 70 hours.

As a consultant I never considered lunch as work because I could not bill a client for it. So to me at least 8-5 is 8 hours of work plus 1 hour break for lunch.

Consultant is a bit different than a salaried employee. I'm not sure how the language is structured in the US, but in Europe as a salaried employee, you're not producing X, you're providing labour. As in, you're hired to provide labour for 8 hours per day to an employer. The language used in our labour law is something like "employee is considered at work when present at location during time specified by employer and is providing his/her labour for use by the employer". You could skip lunch break if required, but most of the time it isn't.

That doesn't apply to all of Europe. In Norway salaried workers have a 40 hour week, but are only paid for 37,5 hours. The work day is 8 hours long, but you are not paid during the 30 minute lunch break.

It is also common to work from 8 to 4, but developers and others who are not too dependent on the outside world can have a bit more flexibility.

It is funny to see the shock in some foreigners when "nobody" is at the office after 4, when in fact they have already been at work for 8 hours.

I think this presumes that there's no lunch-time....
