What you don’t seem to understand is that people move to hcol areas for leisure. There is a fundamental reason they are expensive in the first place. Seattle for instance is surrounded by ocean, national parks, mountains. Same thing with th

People in hcol cities still need to move around. People from outside of the country move to hcol cities because of their reputation. Rich people live in hcol places because they can. My logic doesn’t really need to track with whatever you a

Erm, yeah. Pretty much anywhere with 100k+ people is at this point.

So will housing costs. The problems facing SF, Seattle, LA will spread to smaller towns. SF, Seattle, LA, will continue to be expensive because people spend $$$$$$ to live there for reasons other than tech jobs. Be careful what you wish for

I only got a few sentences into this but I can assure you that I love cleaning my house, and performing various other chores. Work related and otherwise. If I didn’t do them, my life would be worse than if I didn’t! It’s pretty easy stuff!

Yeah, NPR has been driving me nuts with this crap. There seem to be 0 news sources available that can’t help but slip some alarmist flavor text in. I can’t listen to it anymore.

Do you really think whatever this is, is going to take off?

by tjr225 4y ago
Yup, you should re-evaluate. There are a jillion reasons to do things that are chores. The word chore should not be implicitly perceived as a negative thing. Do I want to clean my house? Yes. Is it still a chore? Do some thinking for yourse

Even a 10 foot high sea level rise preserves most of the residential areas of every single major metro on the west coast. My guess is the GP is unfamiliar with them and is just saying weird random shit for some reason.

Well, at least you’re as clever as an audiophile.

By affecting property values and land taxes, your advocations don’t need to be implicit to affect locals- think people with no money who have lived there for decades or more. People who are barely getting by as it is. Do you really want ano

I think the people of Centralia have been displaced enough by spoiled tech workers.

Why in tarnation are you asking the comments on Hackernews for medical advice?

by tjr225 5y ago
If you want to bother yourself with it go for it, seems like a waste of time to me. My point is that if you feel clever, you’re not!

Making fun of audiophiles is about as close to “beating the dead horse” as I can think of. If you think this is funny or interesting; reflect. Perhaps, if talking about this, your life is as just about as uninteresting as an audiophiles? F

A lot of us are transplants from the midwest/south/east coast and feel the effects of property crime are blown wildly out of proportion. But its different for everybody. I would rather lose a catalytic converter than a friend! ht

There is no counterexample that escapes this signal for a Tesla, though, and that is what I'm arguing against.

> Do you have a Toyota with higher than 300k miles on it? If not, why? Both cases where I sold my Toyota were because I was moving cross country and had to downsize to a single car, at least temporarily. We still have the other one.

I have no links or whatever but as a persistent Toyota owner most of them, particularly the smaller engines, have not required engine rebuilds. Prius' are notoriously reliable in that mileage range, also with taxi drivers for whatever

k8s and Nomad are both complex systems. My point is that Nomad isn’t some sort of magic bullet that cures the k8s illness. I can’t really speak to k8s 2-3 years ago because I wasn’t working with it. It has been a dream for me and my teams t

No but the failure caused a halt to all motor traffic on I5 in both directions which is possibly even more catastrophic than stopping the entire train system.

Physical infrastructure can be fragile/fail catastrophically, as well. I recall starting a job near Seattle, 40 miles from my home in Olympia, WA and a passenger train derailed onto the highway killing a few people and backing up traff

As a 33 y/o I am not sure if there has been a point in my life where I _wasn't_ worried about the economy.

I don't trust either the government or tech companies. You shouldn't either. You should be free to make your own judgements without either interfering or manipulating you. I assume you're in America, after all?
