I'd expect two secessions: California from the US, red-state California from blue-state California. Perhaps an independent Outer California, and an Inner California remaining in the US -- I hope they go with those names!

I think something similar happened in Kosovo: secession of Kosovo from Serbia, secession of the four majority-Serbian counties of Kosovo from the rest of the province. (Or at least, I hope that second secession has gone through by now; I certainly remember there was a push towards it.)
It's also a question of whether the borders of a state breaking away remain valid. While the cities of LA and SF might support secession, the rural residents occupying the remaining 98% of the actual territory in California would want to stay.

Actually, reductio ad absurdum is precisely why self-determination is problematic, because it raises the question of where you draw the line between a nation that initiates its own sovereignty and a bunch of wackos who don't like taxes (all too common in this country).

Secessionist movements typically underestimate the costs of separation. Like the UK post-Brexit, no one knows how an independent CA would relate to the rump US. Would it enjoy the free movement of goods, services and people? I doubt it.

There is almost no basis to consider Californians as a separate people, which is usually what drives self-determination. I live in CA. We do not share a common language or religion or history distinct from our neighbors.

I doubt that the outrage from Democrats over Trump will be able to sustain the time frame necessary to make this a reality.

On the other hand, Republicans have historically been more supportive of secession than democrats. They might have a slim chance by linking up with Republican led secession movements in other states / prospective city states.
Would it? How many pot growers and dispensaries were raided before the Obama administration directed more reserved behavior. The federal government kinda does what it wants, and rarely do the (federal) courts agree with states on where the limits of federal power lie.

I'm not saying that's always a bad thing. In Texas, for instance, the federal government knocked down numerous anti-abortion laws as unconstitutional, and I support that federal encroachment on behalf of individuals (because Texas is run by petty tyrants, when it comes to women and minorities).

But, I suspect the answer is "no, it wouldn't be enough to just make use of the tenth amendment", particularly when the president is Trump. I doubt anything will be sacred under president Trump. We've entered a new era that is pretty much entirely unpredictable.
I'm not sure about that. But remember that once CA is its own government there's little to stand in the way of ever more generous programs. There's no telling what could get passed. But seeing the basic income debates rage here on HN it doesn't seem implausible that a huge BI experiment might take place. That could easily cost double the programs it's ostensibly replacing and or augmenting.
California is one of the 50 states and yet the candidate who wins it (obviously a Democrat) is already a fifth of the way to winning the presidency.
I find it ironic that many of the folks who feel this way are also seem to be those who lean (heavily) towards the federal government being the go-to solution for most/all issues. Maybe this is a good reminder that doesn't just apply when the government is aligned with your personal interests and beliefs?
I am a Californian. I do not support secession. I think it's stupid, and the people who support it are short-sighted. The movement got a lot of attention after Trump got elected, which to me, smells of a bunch of whiny babies who are stamping their feet because they didn't get their way (disclosure: I did not vote for Trump, nor am I happy he won).

Not only that, but I have a vague recollection of this being tried before. Exactly what makes secessionists think they can build an army large enough to beat the US military? Oh, ok. They want to vote themselves out of the union. Guess what, it doesn't work that way. And the second the US military comes by to put us all back in our place, the people crowing for secession are going to run with their tails between their legs. Also, how are we going to build a militia with all of our strict gun laws??

If our economy is so much bigger and worth more representation than everyone else's, let's quit whining and start flexing that muscle more...many regulations we enact here have the ability to force companies across the nation to adopt them.

We have the amount of representation we have because of the US constitution. If that's a problem, either change the constitution or find other ways to exert power. Secession is going to be a lot more expensive in the long run.
Ugh it will be CG what a travesty. He needs to make at least one more true animated film.
California is a net receiver of federal spending, with the feds spending $1.18 in California for every $1.00 paid by Californians in taxes. Federal spending amounts to 15% of California's GDP.

You can't tell me with a straight face that bloggers could ever offer the depth and width of news that a serious newspaper gets you.

Brand names are also useful, as a quick proxy to judge reliability.

What does California lack? I think I can see a pretty good case for either Texas or California to be able to stand alone. (Not that I'm really on board with either secessionist movement, but I've lived in Texas and California, and, both are huge states with huge economies, and they both produce a lot of food and have tons of resources, both natural and human.)
"These people"? Who? People who live in California? There's a lot of people who live in California. They have lots of different opinions about lots of things. The LA Times? People who live in LA? People who back Calexit? Who are "these people" of whom you speak? If you find yourself thinking in terms of "these people" and "those people", some propagandist somewhere has defeated you and everyone should feel bad about that.

And what's wrong with that scenario? It worked perfectly fine for Canada and Australia, without all that violence that became the trade-mark of the new republic.
Yes, you can. But doing this is not "free", in that you are spending time doing this (potentially often) instead of an infinite number of other more productive things.

This alone isn't going to kill your productivity, but it's one of many of the annoyances of managing a large fleet using RIs. It's a cumulative burden, between figuring out reservations per-region, consider your baseline vs spot/on-demand levels, potentially put some other stuff you don't need on the RI market, and audit how many RIs in your inventory are actually in use.

This is an annoyance when you have a small fleet, but it quickly becomes an expensive nightmare when you start talking 100+ VMs. You start having to pay for expensive external tools to manage your expenses because this stuff sucks so much. Or write a ton of your own tooling (which is not free at all). Or just have someone who does this manually all the time (also really sucks).

There's nothing standing in the way of that now. Colorado just had the opportunity to vote in a single-payer healthcare system.

You're saying "what if a government spent more than they had", but that's hardly unique to a seceded California. I don't see how it's at all relevant.
Yeah. It was faster for me to abort when I noticed those and get an application in on the next company on the list instead. Amortized over all the companies on your spreadsheet, that winds up faster.
Assuming you were to put your foot on the scale a bit with the polling in order to demoralize the opposition, the only way you would be able to use that trick more than once would be to make sure to make sure that you quit doing it in the final days or weeks before the election.

If the polling is far off from the results, you either get unwanted investigations or you lose credibility for future polling.

Anyone with sufficient resources to influence something on this scale is likely playing a long game, and it's clear that the game is being played on some level. Look at the way the DNC started out with the bulk of the superdelegates for Hillary in order to give her an early credibility jump over the opposition, just in time to get actual credibility by winning Texas.

Especially when someone is donating to a campaign, they want to donate to a winner.

You were flagged but this is a great question.

I think the more useful ability for the food truck operator is the ability to modify the software their business runs on, not the ability to build it from scratch.

Imagine everything on everyone's desk was bolted to it, and you could only choose between a few desk packages. Someone comes along and says "people should be able to put together their own desk packages!" But everyone wonders: "huh? I'm not a furniture engineer. What would I do with a custom desk that I can't do with an off-the-shelf one?"

But as we know people come up with all kinds of uses for desks when they are allowed to reconfigure them freely.

That's what we're losing out on by not making software reconfigurable, at least a little bit at the top layer.

What we have right now is a series of buttons that add or remove bolted down components from your desk. Eve is trying to imagine what it might look like to actually be able to move things around freely, add duct tape etc.

I know it's a weak argument, because no one really knows what people would exactly do with the ability to modify their software. It just seems to me like the kind of thing that would pay off.

>Doesn't California, alongside most other "blue" states, contribute more to those welfare programs than they take in?

California is not a net payer. According to wikipedia (and I realize these are from two different years, but they're the easiest numbers to find), California pays $7,690.66[1] in taxes on a per capita basis and receives $8,967[2] in federal spending on a per capita basis.

Can Eve call into C without any overhead?

If it can't, then "your entire programming stack" is excluding the kernel and a lot of existing libraries/code.
Yes, those are the stated reasons for the cause, but why is the idea getting so much attention at the moment?

My guess is there are a lot of people angry that Trump got elected who are resorting to useless hail-marys like petitioning the electoral college to vote for their candidate or for California to secede.

Given a few months, the secession movement will hopefully crawl back into the hole it came out of once the anti-Trump crowd runs out of a bit of steam.

Why would you do that? They can just include the 32-bit libraries.

Wine works by changing enough of the windows system that the libraries can communicate with the host operating system.

Microsoft already has the 32-bit libraries, 'all' they have to do is make sure the parts of the libraries that interface with the rest of the system do the translation, which is much less work and a reasonably well defined edge.
Who did our northern neighbors secede from? (I presume you mean Canada.) Not from the US.

Who did the states that broke away from parent states secede from? Not from the US.

Secession from the US may well require war. If not that, it's going to require following a recognized constitutional process (which I'm pretty sure there isn't one). Barring that, it's at least going to require congressional approval, not vetoed by the President. Good luck getting that.

California passing a referendum? Yeah, that and $6 will get you coffee at Starbucks.

I have a similar story where I remembered being small and our family having a white landboat, like Ford Galaxie sized, which my mom didn't remember. I thought I dreamed it until I digitized my dad's Super-8 movies and found some frames shot in our front yard where a car just like I remembered was sitting in our driveway. Now, I'm not sure what its provenance was, and my mom still didn't really remember, it could have been a neighbor's car that we borrowed once or I otherwise rode in (my memory was of a hot vinyl rear seat) but I had proof of my memory at last.

It's not even whether the state is willing, but whether the people of the state are willing. I doubt whether California could field a sufficient force if the US government declared their succession illegal.
