Right, or you could say that they were successful rent-seekers.

Because there's not 7.5 billion acres of arable land that's also got good, stable water access. Also, because someone living in a major city produces dramatically less carbon due to economies of scale, and your idea would result i

And it's an interesting thought experiment to imagine yourself in their shoes.

I think you should consider that they may well be right, and that they can't find work at a rate they expect due to H1Bs working for less. People tend to know more about their own lives than you do about theirs.

Absolutely, but those are rarely discussed. I don't really get why, all of the firms you listed are incredible.

Who's everyone? It's critical to remember that outside of the cities, the US is a fairly conservative country, and they use Twitter too.

This, plus the safety council and the pruning of trending topics is definitely a pattern. It's also probably counter productive - this lets activists like Milo campaign on being oppressed for their views, which widens their public appe

A very cynical and cruel interpretation of the modern post office is that its real business model is to subsidize political mailers during campaign season (which are phenomenally cheap) with junk mail, while conveniently providing jobs. Po

It's a nice story, but E. Coli comes from fields fertilized by manure, or feces contaminated water. [0] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC525133/

It's actually a core and well supported part of capitalism - people hire more when firing is easy, lenders are more willing to lend in industries with repo men, etc. It's kind of morbid, but rich ecosystems like the Amazon mostly

What? I'm sure they use Office at MS, it's used in every other non-sv office I've ever worked at.

Lyft, instacart, courier companies, GrubHub, etc. are all possibilities if you are able to drive for Uber.

It certainly is, but your point is well taken.

Go to the gym/bike/whatever. It helps me a lot, at least.

I have a counter claim: near face high powered WIFI router, 20/10 vision. Non-ionising radiation is safe to fairly high levels.

We do, it's a very successful service called Peapod that you haven't heard of because it's not used by people in SV. It's exactly what you're describing, but doesn't have a hugely PR engine because it's a

.Net core has been very stable for me so far! Edit: but it doesn't run F# yet

The strongest military on Earth couldn't defeat a bunch of illiterate people with 40 year old guns in terrain they knew well.

That is insane and unreasonable. The bubble has lost it.

I don't love cars, but I _love_ Top Gear. It's got that tone you describe, sort of breezy and light but about something real. Like the sister comment said, maybe it's vessels, because aviation news can be similar. I don'

This is on .NET Core, so you can actually run this anywhere! I do a lot of Core development on a Mac, but it runs well on AWS/Linux/my toaster. Weird times, huh?

Oh, maybe something like Js then? I just pulled the first language I thought of!

I agree 100% My friends from Long Island don't know a single person in the military. Not 1. That does not bode well for them in a theoretical war of secession.

And for non-American readers, those are located in the big, flat central states that California would be seceeding from.

Yes. It's a different thing to have partners in the legislature vs 2 of the most powerful states willing to join your new country. I don't know if the USA could be remotely the same if NY, MA, TX, and FL seceeded. I do know that t

Do you feel that way about generic text or code in particular? I haven't seen Intellisense or project templating for, say, F# at the same level as a VS Code. Does this exist? I'd love to move more to Vim!

And no shared border. Also, NY State is much more conservative than people assume, the State legislature is usually controlled by Republicans.

by JBReefer 10y ago
I saw it here in NYC after the election - "We'll secede, and we'll fight the other states if it comes to it." OK, good luck winning when no one owns guns, trucks, generators etc. It's a pipe dream. You can't wi

No. People in the current bubble forget that California is usually broke/in legislative crises, which might be about to happen again. Texas is probably the only state capable of thriving if it secedes, CA doesn't even have it&#x27
