> I think that to some extent those things are implied by "reading", just as some level of comprehension is assumed when talking about reading a book.

Even better, in fact: one can misread a book with, usually, no reasonable way of determining the extent of one's misreading (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18380366 for a current front-page example); whereas, when one (mis)reads code, there is always at hand a way to test the accuracy of one's reading (and perhaps find out thereby, in the presence of a sufficiently detailed specification, that the programmer also 'misread' it!).

Encroaching is such a strong word. Are they occupying property illegally or are they buying it at market price?

It's less that it's a pet political issue, and more that it's an example of how a core requirement of Amazon (strong public transit) simply isn't present in Atlanta. Amazon really depends on city services to fill in the gaps of their amenities, and quite frankly, real estate paid for parking spaces is real estate wasted by not being desks. You can see this in the design of their Seattle infrastructure, abd they've been explicit about these requirements in their requests for bids.

That the reason for the lack of usable public infrastructure for white collar workers in Atlanta is due to overt racism on the part of government officials is just the cherry on top.

Why don't they try remote work? Virtual HQ2? It would be cheaper and give them access to better talent.
Regarding air pollution, is it because of the smoke emitting from vehicles or the factories? You'd think, because China seems to be pushing their way into the top to becoming a tech-savvy country, that they will do something about it. I guess it's the price to pay for advanced technology, what do you think?
that's a good idea although the lack of app ideas holds me back.
Right, but that doesn't necessarily require all of the desktop parts of Windows. I see your point though.
Oh, I completely agree that there are many, many worse places to work than Amazon. I realize I am very fortunate to be able to decline such a job and be able to find good offers at a place of my choosing.
I think the grandparent post is saying that Asians in Flushings are more likely to own their property and then it gets rented out inside the ethnic group moreso than outside the group. So Hispanics etcetera will be squeezed between that and rising prices from HQ2.

I don't know how much of these are true, but I've heard anecdotes/stereotypes like this a few times in New York. Just haven't seen (or looked for) any confirmed studies about it.

I agree. Many view self improvement as being a jacked millionaire genius or whatever.

It's humorous how willing they are to build HQ2/3 in areas already with high rent and income. They probably have the money and the will to create a new city and public transit system out of a pliable town. Why not do that?

It's not so simple and I'm not quite so naive... but it would be interesting if high paying jobs went to places with decent weather and reasonable land prices.

Why spend your own dollars when you can consume the infrastructure of other cities without having to pay for it? Property taxes will rise, slowly, as property values increase due to the greater demand in these cities, but not enough (nor fast enough) to offset the infrastructure burden incurred by Amazon.

So three headquarters? My speculation on why these two cities were chosen would be that they are the two cities that Bezos wants to spend the most time in. Most business headquarter moves to a new city are because the CEO wants to live at the new location [citation needed]. At least in this case people at the old HQ can stay put and Bezos is the largest stockholder in the company, not just the top manager.

Maybe there's an existing solution that I'm missing out there.

Unfortunately, you'd be raising taxes on everyone in your taxing district (not against taxes, against poor economic abstractions). It's an indirect subsidy to large corporations like this. I'd prefer a headcount tax on the business; you demand a butt in a seat somewhere, you're paying for the infrastructure to get your employee to that seat.

Don't forget though that that area in NYC has a ton of both empty space and low-value commercial space that can be torn down and redeveloped. It's also home to one of the biggest transportation deserts in the city, which will be functionally unlocked in the next five years or so once self-driving cars are a thing.

While stuff takes time to build, at the end of the day there is a lot more land to build buildings than there are people who want to live there. And unlike in SF, if there is new demand then those buildings will actually get built.

> I haven't pissed anyone off.

You accused me of being disingenuous. I'm sure your radical views irritate other people as well.

> minimization of suffering

Now I'm starting to think you are trolling. Me and others have pointed out that this is a egregiously nebulous thing to say. People who say that they stand for minimization of suffering are also the same type of people who say they are for all the things that are good without ever elucidating what their idea of good is. Pol Pot probably said he was for minimization of suffering.

> you are equivocating "[my] ability to proselytize [a worldview based on minimizing suffering] on HN and elsewhere" to someone else's "ability to spread" antisemitism, which is obviously and transparently disingenuous.

It's hard to play mental forensics of what went through your mind. I'm not. I'm not saying there's equivalency, I think you misunderstood me because you are under impression that you can control or predict what people will decide is an acceptable speech. If you could control that then of course sign me up for no antisemitizem and all the proselytization.

And to repeat, I merely stated that you probably don't trust us to be your moral authority and we reciprocally don't trust you to be moral authority for us.

Furthermore, realization that we can't agree on any moral authority is reflected in free speech protections and democratic system itself. Again, unfortunate side-effect of free speech laws is that we let people speak obscenities just as it's unfortunate side-effect that we let murderers go if we can't prove their crime beyond reasonable doubt.
25k people in nyc, even very well paid, is a drop in the bucket. It’ll have a big impact in LIC. Astoria, Greenpoint, and Sunnyside will also be impacted. But beyond that the effect will fall off rather steeply.
It's nice to believe that an Amazon could basically found a new city/locate in a small one or run-down one. But I tend to agree. The premiums they'd have to pay to attract people to work in effectively a company town would be significant. It would take years to build out infrastructure and amenities. And it would probably still end up as a rather unattractive monoculture under many circumstances.

You can probably bribe enough people enough to work just about anywhere but it's going to be an uphill battle.
Not every moral issue can be encoded in monetary exchange, because of (among other reasons) unequal access to capital.

In general, yes, seeing trends in ethnic groups moving because they can no longer afford what was their home, even if to make way for another ethnic minority, is probably a bad thing.
This is really silly...10k highly paid employees is a drop in the bucket in NY. The effect on rents will be negligible. They are absurd and will continue to be absurd, but 10k employees in a metro area of 20 million won't change that.

All that said, it's hard enough to compete with Google and Facebook and Spotify for local talent...this will only make it worse.

Self-driving cars don't magically make other cars, self-driving or not, vanish from the roads and they certainly can't match the raw throughput of moving thousands of people in a single train on a dedicated right of way.

Spend a lot of time on reported issues from users. If a user is willing to spend time to report a defect spend time to ensure you really understand what they are reporting and solve it as completely as you can.

Don't wait for users to report defects. You have to constantly use the software you write. Stress the hell out of it and really try to make it fail. Write tests to ensure the edge condition is covered against future regression.

Attempt to automate everything. Adding new options and features in the previous version of my application was a pain in the ass. Now they are all listed in a single JSON file. The build adds the options into the supported interfaces as well as the documentation. Now all I have to do to add a new option is update the JSON file, add the desired result into the application logic, and write tests.

Ensure your documentation is well structured. You want to ensure all the features are mentioned, but its helpful when reading the docs if there is a uniform organization that explains the purpose, data type, compatibility, and options of each feature.

The challenge with supporting many features is that collisions of various features can result in unexpected outcomes. You have to really look for these things before your users do.

> Self-driving cars don't magically make other self-driving cars vanish

I mean that's what they're supposed to do, if they can all drive one behind another at a constant speed without crashing or creating traffic jams. But more importantly, if you can be doing work while your car is driving itself then your effective commute is zero. And if your car can park itself in the suburbs, then that creates yet more space in the city that can be used to create housing. Self-driving cars, if they actually work, should radically reduce housing costs -- both by making formerly unlivable places suitable for residential buildings, and by freeing up significant amounts of land.
