After living here since 2009 I think I've figured out the Bay Area and San Francisco. SF is a city that doesn't want to be a city. It just doesn't want to grow up. Silicon Valley has since spilled over into San Francisco and we have a combination of massive job growth, prosperity and extremely limited new construction. Every year more people arrive than we construct housing for.

Compounding the problem are many local politicians. Serious local political players are divorced from reality denying the relationship between supply and demand with the cost of rent; while focusing on price fixing techniques such as rent control as a solution.

The only way out of this is to build. We have to make this decision.
That’s why organisations need leaders who can change the direction having realised that the current state had degraded to being gamed.

Seek revenue, then seek new clients but not revenue, then go on R&D spree. People are not going to be happy, but the organisation is going to be healthy.

IMO there must be high-level metrics which define which low-level metrics are valuable today.

> widely used in college admissions

You need to correct for the fact that it's used in college admissions though, otherwise this isn't telling you anything.

E.g. if tree identification were used as the basis for college admissions, within a couple years you'd find that the people who did the best in college were the ones who were the best at identifying trees.

SSH: ~/.ssh/known_hosts and ~/.ssh/config

Web URLs - Use bookmarks or write yourself a small local html file with a bit more organisation. Or use a text file with an editor that makes it easy to Cmd+Click a link.

Less simple, but great for teams, use a wiki page with the appropriate links.

I don't regret. I left my day job in late 2016 and started to do this startup thing. I'm still very happy.

I've seen people who left day job to start companies and became very unhappy very quickly (within 6 months). The key thing is to have the right motivation and to manage expectation.

If the primary reason to start your own company is to look good in front of your other fancy friends, then you'd better not do that in the first place. Doing startup is roller coaster. You won't look good in front of others all the time. Actually, for a long period of time (many months ~ many years), you may look pretty bad, in terms of product metrics, income, company reputation...

Some of my friends asked me whether they should start a company, I typically suggest them to answer these questions first:

* Have you made over $10k on your own? Not from your day job salary. Not from public stock market. Making money needs practice. You start a company to make money. You'd better have some experience of making money first.

* What's your longest project? Have you worked on anything for multiple years? Grit & patience need practice. Building a successful company takes multiple years, even decades. Be prepared.

* When was the last time you were insulted by others? If you grew up in a very comfortable environment (rich family, great schools -- because your parents went to those great schools too, great companies, ...), probably you already get used to compliment for your entire life. Now you are going to face very very diverse set of people who don't know your family background or don't recognize your family name, if you start a company. If you are the kind of people that are easy to be upset, you'd better stay in the friendly corporate.

* What happened when you broke up with your ex or your friends? People relationship is complex. You'll experience a lot of bad people relationship if you start your own company -- breaking up with cofounders, firing employees, fighting evil investors, fighting con man, fighting bad reporters, dealing with malicious users, dealing with competitors (sometimes in person)... All kinds of drama. You'd better practice this kind of things before starting your own company.

> When California recently enacted a soft drink tax that would have raised the consumer's cost, Costco locations in the state switched the combo to include Diet Pepsi.

What are they going to switch to when the state enacts a hot dog tax? Or a fat tax? Or a preservative tax? Or a disposable cup tax?
For web application URLs and things like it (server names, IP addresses, things I need to keep track of), I keep it all in a vimwiki tech.md file in my ~/notes directory. I used to use org-mode, but it was overkill for me and after 20+ years of using vi, switching to emacs (even spacemacs) was a tough adjustment.

For SSH endpoints, I more or less have everything aliased in my ~/.ssh/config file. If it's just a server, I can just ssh hostname. If it's a host I'm doing port forwarding on, I'll have it aliased to ssh hostname-tunnel or ssh hostname-SOCKS5.
On windows, WinSCP has a nice internal folder structure for saving all your links. I tend to keep a txt file of all my urls though.

> Also a powerhouse in IP licensed video games iirc, esp licensing Sunrise anime.

FYI, Bandai has actually owned Sunrise since 1993. Gundam had become so integral to Bandai's business that they bought the studio that made it (over the objections of Gundam's creator, though). Their video games are first-party, not licensed.

Interestingly, Bandai was a significant distributor of anime in the US for a long time, so that meant US releases of Sunrise anime were some of the only anime that was sold in the US first-party and not under license. A few years ago though, they shut down US operations and Sunrise anime is now distributed in the US under license by Nozomi Entertainment.
I think 'Designed & Built in the USA' or 'Designed & Assembled in the USA' might be better nomenclature.

Python 3 Metaprogramming (2013)
Not exactly for the same use case, but I created info-beamer hosted (https://info-beamer.com). Its a digital signage platform, so more for visual results than interfacing with hardware, but it's fully programmable in Lua. You can see the Lua API here: https://info-beamer.com/doc/info-beamer. On top of that info-beamer hosted provides a complete operating system that can trivially installed on a Pi (https://info-beamer.com/doc/installing-hosted) and you can configure and run your code on any number of Pis and control everything through a dashboard or API (https://info-beamer.com/doc/api). As an example of what a full "package" looks like, have a look at this minimal example: https://github.com/info-beamer/package-cec-test. Everything is fully programmable and you can even 'git push' code to the system. Let me know if you have any questions.
What I'd like to see, but haven't yet, is a way to teach a browser extension about my environments, what they are named and what their URL patterns are such that I can get a border color-indicator of "hey, you're in prod!" and have a quick switcher to view the same page I'm on now, but in a different environment (this page looks weird in test, was it already like that on prod, wonder if I can debug in my local dev) -- and export this configuration to share with newbs.
For URLs i have a single html page that I use as a starting page for my “dev” browser, which I edit manually when I add a new environment/tool.

For ssh I just use bash history, but I don’t have a ton of environments
TextExpander which is more or less like alias
What? No, it works fine with http out of the box. From the man page:

GNU Wget is a free utility for non-interactive download of files from the Web. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols, as well as retrieval through HTTP proxies.
For SSH, using your ssh config file[0] is probably the most idiomatic way to go about it. For web applications I tend to rely on using plain old bookmarks, using bookmark folders to keep related URLs together. It's a fairly simple system but it manages everything together where I'm most likely to use it.

>SQM consists of comparable amounts of up, down, and strange quarks. One of the new results of the latest study is that quark matter without strange quarks, i.e., udQM, has lower bulk energy per baryon than either SQM or hadronic matter, making it energetically favorable.

I would guess QM composed of strange quarks in addition to up and down, and/or below the "continent of stability" size of 300 Angstroms[1].

Just checking in to say I sympathize. I don't have any kids yet, and was thinking about having none (not having a kid is as effective as being vegan and biking to work for the rest of your life...). But I'm worried about how my life would look with and without kids and how hard it would probably be to convince my future spouse to not have kids, etc. And in light of that I start feeling helpless and maybe it's worth just having a kid and enjoying my life because it's not my fault that so many people are fucking up the environment, driving trucks on hour long commutes, and having 5 kids. ¯\_(⊙︿⊙)_/¯
Thanks for being frank about it. It can definitely work as long as all partners in a polyamorous relationship clearly communicate their expectations to one another.

Relationships are, by human nature, not permanent either way - we all die in the end, so IMO it's unreasonable to expect them to last 'forever' anyway.

If you found your niche in polyamory - good for you!
There is definitely a "museum mentality" where is something is worth collecting it gets collected. That does not sit well with, shall we say, an over-sensitivity to the plight of individual animals while blithely ignoring the fate of millions or billions - as the article suggests.

Museums have come a long way, since the golden age of collecting of Victorian times. A lot of museums run tissue banks, mainly blood, which are an invaluable resource. More of less anyone in the world has access to the material. The animals or birds that are unfortunate enough to enter a museum are put to good use and ultimately mean that a lot less are killed in the name research.

Firefox's container tabs can do the colour coding if you're environments are on different domains. What you describe would indeed be useful though.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted as it's a legitimate criticism.

Most people are barely able to put in any work in a relationship, so it's not surprising they won't be able to put in even MORE work to make a polyamorous relationship work (really work, and not just pretend they have one)

Indeed, the California WARN Act[0] explicitly says "layoffs"[1] instead of "employment loss", which would cover termination.

However, it's also true that courts don't like it when you try to get cute. It should be interesting.

If your password manager supports it, make a secure note with all the URLs you use regularly. My work keep a big wiki of documentation, including frequently accessed servers, which seems to work really well - it also allows us to document each individual server.

When in doubt, write it down, preferably somewhere secure to prevent leaking anything if handling sensitive data. Excel spreadsheets work pretty well too, but formatting might get a bit distracting.

At a previous job we ran a lot of client-facing servers and kept most of the URLs in our server monitoring software. It wasn't great and there wasn't a lot of documentation, but frequently accessed servers were all in a central place (save for our test/Ansible servers).

My cousin is an only child and he turned out great and had a great childhood. I kinda envy the amount of family time and adventures they were able to go on. Part of it might be family culture, but seems like with one kid you can "do" a lot more, where as with 3 kids, doing things were often frustrating endeavors and just "maintaining" was more the norm.
That exaggerates how much they’d be taxed, but generally speaking such governments provide more public services (eg health care, quality education) and also build housing. Even in the USA, HUD used to have a bigger budget than the department of defense.
Does a sub domain count as a different domain?
Not really, it's mostly once/yr (leases do lock the price). But they can be very aggressive increases (e.g., +$500/mo).

There are some areas/buildings that are rent controlled though, then the increase is very small once/yr. But in those cases new leases make up the difference. I had a rent controlled one bedroom apt in SF for $2k/mo, when I left it was then priced at $3k/mo.
As a Mac user since the 1980s I enjoyed the startup sound and miss it. It was removed for no obvious reason, presumably for some perceived minimalism or desire for austerity, which you can put in the same basket as removing all useful ports and the escape key from their "pro" laptops, or the headphone jack from their cellphone, offering no benefit but apparently done for the sake of doing.

That's not the point. You can run static languages in a REPL. Some easier than others. You've chosen a particularly easy static language to write REPLs for as a counterpoint. LISPs and other homoiconic languages are especially well suited for interpreters because they're especially well designed languages.

Languages like C which require header files and a pre-processor are much harder to write REPLs for. You can try to do it and you can build a thing that works kind of like a REPL (look I type code and press enter and it evaluates, yay), but the experience always falls short of using a dynamic language in a REPL. It's just not even close, and that's just due to the simple fact you're trying to use something in a way it's not intended. Compiled languages simply are not designed with a tight development loop as a major design goal.
>I have a feeling that a lot of people today, confronted with the problem of designing a bowling alley, would go straight for a video camera, a robotic arm to pick up the pins and put them back in their spots, and machine learning to glue it together.

plus stuffing the pins with IoT sensors and WiFi chips, i.e. making "smart pins", "smart ball", ...

> If this project manages to reduce the cost per mile of building public transportation, the public as a whole will benefit greatly in the years to come. I'm not rich and I would love there to be many more subway lines built out in our cities.

The purported cost savings are primarily coming from making the system as incompatible as possible with traditional subways (i.e., the proposed tunnels are too small to be refit to accept standard loading gauge tunnels). Beyond that, the entire Loop concept boils down to a really low capacity system (subways generally are capable of moving 20,000 people an hour, all you really need is the rolling stock and traction power to make that happen; this system is talking about 2,000 people an hour with no room for upgrades without boring more tunnels--on par with a single highway lane). While the cost per mile might be reduced, the capacity is so low that the actual cost of the full system would be much higher.

That's a ridiculous thing to say considering 50% of dev's are writing on Microsoft stacks and the company pulls in over 20 billion in actual profit each year.
They are both co-founders with 50% of the company each - at least that's what the dev said on Twitter.

Because your competition's costs are increasing by the same amount at the same time, and their ability to compete on price is hindered by the increase in costs to the same degree yours is.
The breaking of this law when one uses profit as the measure of a successful company or business is why I think that a well set up market system actually works. People and companies can set up making a profit as their target and it is still a good measure of success, because it is actually what you want.

The key for a good society is regulating the places where making max profits can induce bad behavior and leaving alone where it does not. A hard thing to get right but forcing people to inform you of the ingredients of food for sale, is an example of a good regulation I think.
That's easy, though. If you're going for life expectancy, then there's plenty of things you can do.

1) Exclude deaths that'd hurt your life expectancy. For instance, by under counting infant mortality. E.g. does a child who dies during birth count against your life expectancy? Arguments can go both ways, but if your hospital's funding depends on having good life expectancy numbers in your community... well, there you go. IIRC this is one factor that helps explain Cuba's surprisingly high life expectancy numbers, though it doesn't account for most of it.

2) Overtreat end of life issues. Instead of focusing on quality of life and general health throughout the lifespan, put all your funding into heroic interventions that let 90 year olds live on artificial respiration for months. This is what the United States does.

3) Systematically deceive. Have a significant homeless population? Rural population that's deeply unhealthy? Make sure you put a ton of resources into measuring outcomes for your urban population with relatively good health access, and the peasants you miss are just a sign of not getting enough grant money from the WHO. Governments that put resources into getting measurements of the most marginal populations are penalized, while those that deprioritize studies of those marginal populations would have better numbers for their marketing brochures. Even though we'd expect the former to have actual better outcomes than the latter!
