I think it's fine to consider attractiveness to a diverse workforce. It's not racism to pick a city that is more diverse than another. It just says we want to make it attractive to the most different type of people possible. It&#x

If we are looking at Canada, Montreal could be attractive. Lower labor cost, large amount of schools churning out tech talent (including strong AI programs). Eastern timezone. Still reasonable housing prices. Obviously there are down sides,

Atlanta was one of the top places that came to my mind given their requirements. It's really compares favorably with Seattle for size, access, tech talent.

Has this been shown to be true? I get the logic and it seems like it would make sense but I'm sure this has been researched. This would be a bigger deal than the datacenters being built with millions in tax cuts given it would be a lon

"This just seems like cashing in on crypto hype." A that they are having a lot of success i'd say, we are all talking about their little rewards program and discussing whoppers. Brilliant. Bloomberg going to give them a bunch

But if they are ousting their CEO publicly it's probably because things are going extremely badly. I don't think ousting the founder is necessarily making it worse and thus the cause for those companies to worsen after the ousting

The market is also skewed in their favor as the article point out by keeping property taxes really low for long time owners: "Property-tax exemptions for longtime residents keep older Americans from moving. Zoning rules make it harder

"Anyone criticizing China while permitting their own country to do worse is an hypocrite." Ridiculous statement. "Permitting", like it's my choice? You can live in a country and disagree with some of what it does. E

Could you explain how that would work? Right now they seem to be doing it client side thus not ever seeing the URL themselves. If they were to have a proxy said proxy would need to know the URL to fetch. Is there some alternative solution?

This is very impressive tech and has a lot of good applications for movies and art but I'm with you that it does scare me that it will find it's most common use case as a tool for propaganda by governments.

There are some in between towns that offer a better balance. I've lived in Seattle and Boston and I think the job mobility still high but with a reduced cost of living. Not cheap by any national standard but 20-30% is a big difference

I think OP meant that the FBI itself shouldn't get into this business and leave it to the CIA and NSA. As far as I know there is no separation of those duties in Russia, it's all done by the FSB.

The NSA does albeit it's not advertised when they report bugs to companies. Not sure about the CIA but the NSA has a dual mission of intercepting foreign intelligence and helping secure american systems. Hence how we got things like SE

That's part of the NSA's mission.

Well this isn't like the US where a rural area voters have more impact on the election that city voters. LePen will need a majority of votes to win the election. The situation isn't comparable to what happened in the US in my opin

Read some of the response and it's what I expected, fast hiring rate make tenure number artificially low. That's true at most large tech companies right now, they've grown massively in the past 5 years.

No you are not alone. The expectation is you've reviewed and practiced these subjects before going in. Hopefully with a few weeks of practice you should be able to remember them enough to write them out on a board. But yeah it can be t

I agree with questioning everything, I disagree with the second part of you last statement. We cannot go at it completely alone, we need institutions to fight for things as blocks. I think it be better to get more engaged. Lets not reverse

This isn't the raw numbers. It's based on cost of living adjustment to give what the equivalent would be in SF (at least that's what I understood from the article). It would have been useful to show the raw numbers next to th
