I suppose that's inarguable, even if by definition.

These are remarkably dishonest and bad reasons. 1. This is meaningless. 2. This is FAR more a factor of lifestyle choices than CoL. I've lived in extremely high and extremely low CoL places and there is not a big difference. I have a $

IMO a better advantage is that you can hire talent from anywhere, without the caveat that they have to uproot their life to join your team. Paying local market rate is shitty (generally) and reduces your competitiveness against other remote

Every in-office job I've had has been the same way. Not that we didn't ever talk in person, but so much of the normal communication happened over text, even if we were in the same room.

Overall, I agree with your point, but it's definitely a fallacy that if you do bad things it nullifies good things that you do. If (for example) you thought that eating vegan was better ethically or environmentally, eating vegan only o

Yeah, exactly this. Managers make a huge impact when they're needed, but rarely is that in the day to day. My best managers have always set clear objectives, and moved mountains for our team in the larger organization, but when it come

Yeah, Boise is already exploding hence I didn't mention it (not familiar with the tech scene there, but I think it's one of the fastest growing cities in the country).

The entire Mountain West. Bozeman has a pretty decent, and growing tech scene. Missoula is okay (shoutout Submittable and a few others).

Google decided to rename the street that I live on (and get rid of my actual address) a few years ago. It took about 2 years for my correction to be approved. It was really fun directing people "oh it's really easy to get here but

So the big difference between 100 years ago and now is people have less knowledge and less willpower?

Completely agree. Calories in/out is a gross oversimplification. It's not wrong, it's just not particularly relevant. One thing I thought Taubes did a good job of was illustrating the relationship between calories in and calo

Great point. When did you last have sex and with who? Can you post your picture and theirs for us?

Ahh, yes, capitalism, where we funnel all of our resources to the top and hope the benevolent billionaires will reach down to help those of us in poverty. You're of course correct that industrialization has an outsize positive impact i

Yep. Some of the best people I know either didn't graduate, or graduated in fields more or less entirely unrelated to what they do.

This is a pretty narrow Instagram experience. I follow my actual friends who post random things from their life, and then people from a few different hobbies. Except for watch people, none of it is carefully curated 'look at me' e

They literally are inconsistent though. How do you have a small government that militarily intervenes across the world? I don't disagree that it's a balancing act, but the platforms are utterly built around single issue zingers. P

Right, I said it was off the cuff and rough. Point still stands, even if it's just within and order of magnitude of the actual idiotic half-assed platforms.

The problem is that the two parties capture huge swaths of people based on issues that are important to that person, not to the party. There is no real unified platform from either of the two major parties, just look at this (rough, off the

For some time you could steal AOL usernames by registering i.e. 'obar' or 'oobar', and using client side hacks could switch the registration to the already registered username 'foobar' which would then belong t

Exactly. It's not a hype new thing anymore, it's just what people are using. For all the warts of specific implementations, the wins of using containers are pretty solid across a huge domain of problems.

Yep, SA obviously has a brand of humor, but the discourse on a huge variety of things is absolutely top-notch. Active moderation keeps the riff-raff out.

Signal works pretty well for me. I mostly use it on my phone, but occasionally on my desktop, but never had sync issues. Matrix.org + Riot.im are a pretty solid combination. Plus, you can bridge to IRC.

Writing "hug" won't get you banned from a technical community. Grow up and realize that context is important.

"Keep politics out of tech" is extremely disingenuous. This CoC can be summarized as "don't be a jerk to other people". I can't even fathom how that's a controversial or political statement, but yet, here

It also makes me sad. Precisely because, yes, people really do need to be told that.
