Sure, some locals will quit their jobs and work for Amazon. And some may come off the unemployment list. But, the majority will need to be brought into the area, which causes congestion, drives up real estate values and rent, etc.

1. How often do you have trouble wrapping up the final details of a project, once the challenging parts have been done? [Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Often, Very Often]

2. How often do you have difficulty getting things in order when you have to do a task that requires organization? [Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Often, Very Often]

3. How often do you have problems remembering appointments or obligations? [Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Often, Very Often]

4. When you have a task that requires a lot of thought, how often do you avoid or delay getting started? [Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Often, Very Often]

5. How often do you fidget or squirm with your hands or feet when you have to sit down for a long time? [Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Often, Very Often]

6. How often do you feel overly active and compelled to do things, like you were driven by a motor? [Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Often, Very Often]

I'm sorry, but this is economically faulty reasoning... Intensification of development creates external growth. More people making more money on new jobs and spending it into the economy boosts everyone else.

You are conflating concerns about infrastructure (which is a government expenditure) with job growth. HQ2 in Philly (or anywhere else) would add to government coffers, both directly (from wage tax, etc.) and indirectly (from property taxes, wage tax from non-Amazon business growth, etc.). The only way infrastructure would "crumble" is if the government doesn't properly direct some of its windfall towards maintaining it.

Ask HN: On-boarding my successor as a technical co-founder
I've been working with my non-technical co-founder and friend for a year on a
start-up, a first time for both of us. I've decided to quit, for several reasons,
but mostly because I don't like being an entrepreneur and I don't think the
project will be profitable. My co-founder wants to continue to pursue the project and is working on finding a replacement technical co-founder.

I want to be accommodating but I also don't enjoy working on the project and
need to devote time to finding a new job. It's not a obscure stack or obtuse
product, so it shouldn't be too difficult for a new developer with experience in
the technologies to pick up. However the app is bloated with features (which is
part of the reasons I'm not interested in working on it). It's a mostly complete
MVP and while we don't have customers yet, we do have a bunch of companies interested in being alpha users.

My questions for HN are:

- What is a reasonable amount of time to devote to on-boarding my replacement?

- Should I prioritize documenting all the existing code or work towards building a feature complete MVP?

- Is it necessary that I be available in the future for technical questions?

I'd also love to hear any stories from developers who have been in a similar
situation to me or who have stepped in as a replacement for a technical
co-founder.
Cycling dropping as a share of commuters doesn't tell you that fewer people are cycling. There are also more commuters. Seattle has been rapidly growing, and I'd guess that most new arrivals won't immediately take up cycling in a city that's unfamiliar to them. Building bicycle infrastructure makes cycling more inviting and less stressful for inexperienced riders, which helps shift the balance over time, especially as the network itself strengthens and coverage improves.
Other than Au Cheval, they’re just all pretty average places, I guess. Chicago has the best food scene in the country, I just haven’t ever equated Petterinos, which is considered a mediocre place that has a good pre-theater show menu, with that scene.

Hard to not know javascript... and the web team is not going to develop the services our team is doing. So I don't see much point to redo all the patterns, setup and factories which has been created in Go. Furthermore, it's very easy (1-2 days) to teach a backend developer Go. And our team is going to do more and more backend services.

Finally - in the spirit of agile services, this shouldn't matter that much, as long as there is some (good) support.

In High school I discovered the admin's secret account password was "god". (1995 maybe? I was 15)

In college (1997? I was 17) I downloaded the source code of the unix client for back orifice. I read some of the source because I was interested in socket programming and reading Unix Network Programming. I compiled it, and deleted it without running it.

They were on edge because "god" from high school called to warn them about me.
The best urban environments I've lived in so far are the ones in the ex-USSR. They had moderate amount of street retail, not too much, but were very walkable. Today, in the area around me they began retrofitting the lowest levels of the condo buildings with cafeterias and such and it is becoming too busy, too messy and uncomfortable the people who lives in these buildings. Generally, what you need is not a retail in every building, but smaller size stand-alone stores and strip malls, in bigger numbers. Also, American condo buildings rarely have separation lawns between the street and buildings themselves, sidewalks are extremely narrow and not asphalted (asphalt is much nicer to walk on and prevents the grass shoots from poking through the pavement), the whole city blocks layouts are bad (no courtyards, playgrounds inside, all have traffic going through them - unsafe for children).

TL,DR: If you want to get a nice, family friendly, comfortable urban environments -check the former USSR and the other Eastern Block countries.

Thanks for the links. I didn’t realize UWP has all that by default. When I developed for WinRT/UWP it was for touchscreen-only platforms. But for WPF I do implement what’s written there, however yes have to do that manually both in C# and xaml/styles/templates.

Did that sometimes but it was mostly about less obvious stuff, like controls behavior or animations. I was lucky to work with professionals who didn’t try to bring foreign-looking stuff to Windows.

> Friends don't let friends choose WinForms in 2018

For enterprise software I probably wouldn’t. But for e.g. internal tool for a couple of users and with very simple UI (such as a single dialog application with a couple of edit boxes) WinForms still works OK. It’s simpler to use, integrates with older lower-level technologies better (Win32 API, ActiveX, windows shell, terminal services a.k.a remote desktop), and often consumes less resources (Win32 API is decades old and hence designed for ancient PCs).

I would really like to know why this is getting downvoted... The reasoning here is sound - jobs create economic growth. These governments are forgoing a portion of the tax income that currently does not exist but would be gained by Amazon's arrival in exchange for getting Amazon to come in the first place. This is not an Olympic Games or a sports stadium that benefits very few individuals economically. This is a project that will dramatically shape the city chosen for the better (economically).

No, it's not. Google is entirely incentivised to extract the maximum amount of value from those reliant on their services, and the level of dependence is proportional to how much much they can potentially make off you. This is how a company works, and this is fine, but it is very dangerous to imagine that Google has anyone's best-interest at heart except their own.

A friend from college told me about a buddy of his who took a summer job working at a naval shipyard, assisting mechanics. Those salty old sailors used "fuck" quite liberally. Any noun had a good chance of having a "fucking" in front of it.

My experience was that Santa Monica was too hot once you got more than a mile from the beach (I lived 2 miles from the beach). People say they loved the weather but almost everywhere I've lived in CA was miserably hot in the summer. Poor apartment design may have had something to do with this as well.

Also, it was fairly hostile to cycling (albeit better than anywhere else I've ridden in southern California). Gotta say, though, the pool at Santa Monica College was spectacular, and the quality of instruction in their night classes is how I got my career started (and learned a bit of German!)

1. `shift` can grow large, and an overlong left shift will panic in Rust. I expect an input like "gggggggC" to crash.

2. `accum >>= 1` is wrong because it rounds down. It needs to be a round-towards-zero: `accum /= 2`.

3. `accum` is a 32 bit int which is too small. It needs to be larger so it can represent -2^31 in sign-magnitude form.

> cities that already have high rents (New York, Austin, Chicago)

I was curious about this. I live in Austin, and don't think the rent is particularly high there. I just wanted some data. Looking at rent prices on one website in particular (https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/in/Austin) and using Austin as the baseline:

Petterino's... I like them a lot in general, but one thing in particular about them stands out to me: the Midwest Corn Chowder. Funny thing to fixate on I guess, but I fell in love with that the first time I was there.

Food taste is pretty subjective though... and also consider that while I've spent a lot of time in Chicago for work, I never lived there, and there are a lot of local restaurants there that I haven't eaten at. More than the ones I have, I'm sure. Which to me, is just more proof of just how awesome the food scene there is. :-)

I'll always try and visit Chicago when I can, and if I ever got "IPO exit rich" maybe I'd maintain a second home there. I just can't do the winters or maybe I'd consider moving permanently. :-(

I hear you, and of course we change titles like that all the time. I'm not quite over the line on this one though; the objection feels a bit pedantic to me and that's not how we moderate the front page.

Also, the upvoting system isn't great for cases like this. There are certain qualities in comments that attract upvotes almost mechanically (indignation is another) and if we didn't moderate the threads, the result would be such comments at the top of every thread, and less interesting discussions. HN functions best not when it's entirely community-and-software driven, but when community, software, and moderators interact in feedback loops. Our goal is to help the community process coalesce into something more interesting than it would in a less complex system.
Agreed. My thing is, if a sports stadium is gonna be built with public money, it should belong to the public and the team owner should have to pay rent and/or revenue share. Otherwise, why should a billionaire (or group of wealthy people) get a taxpayer-funded stadium for them to print money with?

In other news water makes you drown when sufficiently submerged
I believe that private ownership of culture is a cost to our society, as it restricts the rest of society from being able to use, remix and adapt that work. That cost grows as the work becomes more pervasive in the cultural zeitgeist.

I think that owners of a work should repay a portion of this cost to society in return for a monopoly on that work.

In an ideal world, I'd prefer some sort of "property tax" on intellectual property: annual percentage of IP's fair market value due as tax or it's released to public domain. However, I worry this scheme would be too vulnerable to gaming and manipulation as it's hard to determine the fair market price of a monopolized product.

My proposed exponential renewal tax is somewhat flawed as 'cultural relevance' is only partially correlated with age of work. But, by increasing the cost of renewal each year, it would more closely model increased societal costs over time as private works become more pervasive and relevant in our culture. By imposing a time-correlated cost of retaining IP rights, it would incentivize IP owners to release non-profitable IP into the public domain instead of hoarding it.

I don't think there was much incentive to make things smaller before the transistor was invented. Also, transistors are used in most analog electronics. You can't do much without them since they let you amplify signals and apply negative feedback.

But to answer your second question. I don't think we could have skipped the vacuum-tube era. It's because we already had applications for those sorts of electronics (and unreliable mechanical relays that were replaced with transistor switches) that researchers realized the potential for transistors in the first place. Even after the transistor was invented there was still a lot of research necessary to make them feasible in practice. The first one was germanium if I recall correctly and it took a while before silicon transistors were viable.

Edit: Also, sort of unrelated, non silicon semiconductors are still used a lot because they can switch faster, and different color LEDs use different semiconductors because they emit different colors of light, which is also related to why different color LEDs have different voltage drops.

I'm from Texas; I live in Dallas. I think Dallas is a much stronger option than Austin.

Building a grocery store is far different than building a corporate campus. The interesting thing is that Amazon already has a presence in a lot of these cities, so they're intimately familiar with the day to day workings. There's not going to be any "sugar coating" by city officials.

1) Austin - Whole Foods
2) Newark - Audible
3) Dallas - HUGE Amazon logistics hub
4) NoVa - AWS location

and on, and on, and on.

Austin has horrible traffic issues right now - look at the other guys on this thread that are from Austin. None of them are eager to have Amazon move there. I would welcome Amazon with open arms.
