Japan has an interesting approach to this problem. I don’t remember the details but they have some mechanism to funnel tax revenues from big urban areas to the smaller cities that provide a lot of their educated workforce.
You stay in the company long enough and you write less code and spend more time managing people and processes as now you own your projects as the most knowledgable person for these projects.

You start hating it (I did) and look for a pure programming role. But you are not in your twenties any more and you have to align with and follow someone else's designs and decisions and you can't since you are experienced and know more and you have to push back and argue and end up going to lead/architect role again and writing less code again.
Intelligence and conscientousness are both very heritable and highly correlated with success.

And there are no educational interventions that come close to the effect size of intelligence or conscientousness.
1. better integrated graphics.

2. better cache hierarchy, larger/faster cache.
(Cache misses and various cache access penalties reduced)

3. faster/low-latency ram access, probably new interconnects to minimize latency.

4. integrated sound/network chips and other peripherals.
(essentially the path to System on the Chip)

5. more vector extensions and specialized instructions.
(machine learning, graphics, high-precision floats,etc)

6. more secure processors and mitigations for future exploits. (e.g. this is 2020 processors, but our 2021 processor is immune to that)
The following three are independent yet often conflated - management, leadership, and mentorship.

It’s a flight to safety for trillions of sovereign funds, amidst worldwide recession (except US) and emerging market collapse. Plenty of future upsides for US, since all the capital is there.
Google aside there is nothing worse than getting stuck at middle management in a software corp after 40 - 50. You are expensive, replacable and disposable.
To the extent that this is even meaningful I suspect it reflects a disenchantment with native apps in general. The app goldrush is long since over and getting an app on a user’s home screen now is extremely expensive and difficult.

That said I’ll take Swift over Objective C any day.
Well, yes, but this is a pedantic comment in relation to the post you were replying to.
You’ve just made what seems like a reasonable argument about how a citizenship question on the census affects education funding. But the only way you’ve connected this to the brain drain argument is by pointing out that some of the same people are involved.
This feels like a variation of the Peter Principle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle)

The Peter Principle says people who are good at their jobs will keep getting promoted until they reach a role they're not good at.

In this variation, people get promoted until they reach a role they don't enjoy and eventually leave.

This is not even about the price caps. This is about the direct transfer of value from the public to a single company. That's not acceptable. If they had to buy .com or .org they would have to pay billions. We cannot just give this away for free.

I lived in the third world and this was so common there. Some company would infiltrate neutral arbiters or government offices and those places would then pass off public goods to the company under some spurious excuse. That company then immediately gets billions of dollars in value.

That's insane. It's straightforward corruption.

It's really frustrating to me how inaccessible Discord is. At its heart, Discord is text and voice chat, which you would think would be the easiest forms of communication to make accessible.

Due to a genetic condition I have that predisposes me to blindness I have preemptively installed NVDA on Windows and Orca on Linux, and the inability of either of these tools to deal with Discord the last time I tried is shameful.
So, tell me this: When does a machine become a person, and when does a person become a machine?

defen is (correctly) bashing the more educated for not having enough kids, exactly the opposite of the attitude you're imputing to him.
My point is that all cities tend to be blue. Look at the electoral maps by county in the last several elections and it’s pretty stark: little blue islands in an ocean of red - but the blue dots are the big cities where about half the country lives.

Experience is part of growth.

If you take 9 months off to raise a child, you're not growing your career -- regardless of wether your company or the state or a combination compensates you.
Maybe education _is_ the problem. Maybe we're teaching children that things like career and information hoarding are more important than family and living life in general. And maybe hyper specialized brains (almost computers) should stay in low numbers relative to the general population. Maybe we're just walking hard drives, full of "facts". Maybe we're not as smart as we think.
You do have a point here. I think it's mostly due to the fact there's very little information about China available on Western media, so people just do not have access to the latest insights. This explains why most of them are still operating based on old beliefs.

Ironically this is probably serving China even better as they were able to keep everything undetected that it often becomes too late by the time people notice what's going on. Huawei is such a perfect example of this.
One of the reasons some short sellers are shorting is they are pessimistic about the prospects of self-driving cars in messy real world scenarios.

Tesla seems to inextricably tie the two together. That's too much innovation at once (ergo, more than double the risk). If he just focussed on making awesome electric cars (with auto-drive as an option), it would 1) make Tesla's job easier, 2) make their PR reps job easier, and 3) everyone is positive about green tech. Winning over the BMW/Merc fans with high performance electric cars seems like a better strategy for a car company than trying to push a fleet of average performing occasionally fumbling self driving cars on the streets - from the perspective of the short sellers.

So in the current scenario, everytime there is some news about how the auto-drive confused one thing for another and crashed into it, the short sellers are convinced that there will be more of a negative public feedback cycle which will bring Tesla, or at least its equity, down. So they short.

Source - I have shorted Tesla in the past after the auto drive crashed and killed a driver. I am also technical enough to be paranoid about trusting human lives to a not-100% reliable piece of tech at high speeds. I only trust our attitude of move-fast-and-break-things with things like websites, not things which could kill you.

I’ve been an Audible subscriber for a fairly long time (2011), and really enjoy the format. I really wish it wasn’t tied to Amazon, though. The recent increase of their “digital book burning” is pretty egregious, and it’s weird to own books on Kindle and Audible that are no longer even available for purchase.

There are, fortunately, some authors that publish their audiobooks direct, and others that put their work free on archive.org. However, the vast majority are Audible-exclusive, and it keeps me locked in.

One big part of this is that even if you have guaranteed maternity pay, it still hurts your career. In a highly competitive environment, I don't see how not working for X amount of time doesn't lead to being X amount of time behind in career growth.

The answer is to have less competitive environments. In Sweden, jantelagen (a cultural sentiment that discourages overt personal ambition) is a huge part of what enables generous leave policies.

"science advances one funeral at a time" ~ Max Planck

Reality is a subjective experience, shared yet interpreted differently by each, irregardless of the real truth
I've been working on a project recently. Review after review with the president of the company. He's a good dude but new ideas are frequent, and he is almost too focused on what the thing should be / look like / etc. Same with our customer paying for it (but who doesn't use it) who has strong feelings about "if it does X, Y will happen".

They're all more experienced with the industry than I, but their explanations didn't quite jive. I'm no user expert but I'm fairly sure some of their ideas won't make the user make Y happen....

Finally last week I got to talk to someone who will USE THE THING on a daily basis. In a 15 minute conversation with that dude I cleared up months of confusion / questions and I feel like that would have saved us a lot of time.

Thankfully it happened and everyone was on the call and now is on board (and I have direct contact with the dude), but man, I wanted to talk to that dude a month ago....
Having moved from a rust-belt blue state; who had liberal policies (but. . . just failed to nurture their tech industry like other states did), I moved to California; for a richer employment opportunity.

In terms of skills I could learn on the job, there's no way I could have gone nearly as far in my career if I limited myself to the set of employers that were available to me in my hometown.

Now, I've moved to a red state, (for family reasons), and I have interviewed at about 20 different companies. The "tech industry" is very different from California. There's a little bit of a software startup industry growing, most of the jobs are in healthcare and financial IT. Nobody wants to pay people what they could earn elsewhere. And in terms of career paths there's not a lot out there that offers much of a future. (or at least it appears that way). None of these companies seem like they have any kind of vision other than general business continuity. It's a completely different experience than I had interviewing with tech companies in California.

Even worse: the company I did take a job at can't seem to retain talent. And when we look for it, we can't find it. (And when we find it - I implore them to make it worth the candidate's time. . . and HR simply responds about what the "market rate" is. - which is why I keep interviewing elsewhere. . . ).

In a nutshell; the main difference seems to be - technology companies in California are in the business to innovate, and create new technology, and to become industry leaders. Where, in my new state; they're in the business to just be in business.
In Florida you get a twofer of reasons:

1) most of Florida is barely above sea level, so digging down any significant distance results in hitting the water table

2) areas that are not right at the sea level are often prone to sinkholes
What decides who gets a name in a “blockchain” DNS? The first to squat on the name? The one to waste the most electricity doing meaningless computations? The highest bidder?
Even in FL, anecdotally I know many people who moved there from CA or CO or NY not because they disliked the place they came from, but because they were forced out by influxes of _other_ people who made more money, drove cost of living up, etc. The sentiment is basically "Florida isn't as nice, but its cheap, so we make do because we have to." The brain drain from much of the rest of the country into a few small metro areas is forcing lots of middle-income people from those areas to migrate to cheaper places, and this would seemingly skew the numbers when you're looking at overall population migration.

If you take the "barca" from praca 15 to the Island of Paqueta, where I grew up, learn to swim, and at age 6 read my first books, I remember Jonnathan Livingstone Seagull , The crime genius, Tistu the green finger boy, Mamae nao pode saber, E proibido chorar, The little prince...

So when you take the barca and cross the Guanabara Bay, its like when you take the ferry train to cross from Hamburg to Copenhagen, and see the light generating crazy windmills, but is Dolphins who swimm and jump together with the barca going the same way to the Island of Paqueta

I remember when I was in Denmark, I stay at the home of a friend family in a farm, so beautiful, they are very nice and very knowledgeable, and the old father takes me to the woods to look for deers, and we were there in silence in the woods and I hear a sound in the leaves, and say something, and the old man says "there" and we see

Then we walk back to the wooden house, and on the way I say

You have good eyes

And the father says

You have good years

Last time I checked out Swift, I ran into some annoying issues with type erasure and generic protocols (similar to the issues Java has, where one class can't be both Iterable<Integer> and Iterable<String>).

I also find Swift's "inout" params deeply confusing (especially when aliasing is involved), and I wish it made dynamic dispatch more explicit (like Rust).

LOL. My favorite part of it was the last line:

"More research into ImGUI style UIs could lead to huge gains in productivity."

Don't tell this cat that the research on this stuff goes back >40 years and that the introductory chapter of any book on computer graphics would have talked about all of this. Not like it would help him - he hasn't read anything about it, didn't even do a cursory Google search. Sheesh. A low, low bar.

My brain drain story: I got a nice engineering degree in the South, even had a phd project supported by the local chemical plant. Why I left:

1. GF/now wife had advanced degrees, and there were no advanced opportunities for her in my area. She'd also have to leave the great opportunity she had in her big northern city.

2. The industry was randomly down when I graduated, so it didn't even make much sense to stay even without my wife's situation. I found a job in my wife's city where we're producing lots of tax income for one of the big gainers on this map.

I think a key lesson from my case is to not have the local economy dependent on one industry. The Gulf Coast is married to oil/chemicals, the Midwest was in heavy manufacturing, WV in coal. A more diverse local economy means all the married, educated couples can have an easier time finding careers for themselves without one side having to sacrifice and feel like they've wasted their huge educational investments.
> Americans have always had more children than higher income/well educated Americans.

But is this Universally true? 250 years of US history is a blip in Human history.

You could argue that lower classes used to have a lot of children because child mortality rate and morbility rate was very high. Also children were needed as labour, with a role in the household or working along side their mother or father. With modern healthcare, social security, and children rights legislation none of the previous pattern is true.

In comparison higher income people or more accurately land owning ruling class had the luxary of better nutrition and several children were a way of reducing the risk of having no heir to handover to.

Another fundamental difference for higher income families introduced with Christianity is that the ruling class was now (officially) restricted to a single wife. In comparison if you look at several empiries in Asia and Africa, the biggest benefit of power and wealth (from a patriarch perspective) was the ability to 'acquire' multiple wifes and to maximise your genetic descent, the most brutal example of this was probably Genghis Khan.

The point I wanted to make is that having several (surviving) children used to be a privilege reserved for the rich and powerful of whatever society at the time. However with our science/social/legal achievements and progress this is no longer true in our social fabric and I am unsure we can accurately predict how this 'recent' change will impact humans as a whole.

Sorry, should have been clearer. Filecoin (from the same company) sits atop IPFS, acting as a cryptocurrency for distributed file storage.

Wow - I would totally benefit from that. I need to talk with them.

This is not a rank of which language is "better". It's merely about usage. I'm sure there is a lot of documentation and not that many "gotchas" in Java for that to be the reason for searches by Java developers. There are a lot of Java searches because Java is popular.
Mostly because of privacy laws. A court can't simply access tax documents, even if it might be helpful in this case. If they wanted to, they'd have to go the official route and the judge ruling on that would weigh the interest of the individual to keep his info private against the interest of the court to gain information. This obviously is easy when the documents are related to the crime, but as the crime/misdemeanor has already been decided upon and only the sentencing is to be done, privacy is usually given more weight.
I don't really like the proposed explanations.

I will suggest rich people are more likely to be surrounded by "yes men" because people are more likely to be afraid of the consequences of upsetting someone with more money and power. This would tend to equally apply to their kids. Men are more likely than women to be in positions of power, so they would be impacted by this effect more than women.

Also, the title is basically click bait.
It just seems odd when he is one of the people who founded this blog it is posted on. I'm sure he has great stories to tell and things in hindsight do seem more clear even if I find it odd in the first place. Like you said it is unfocused and that disappoints me when this is his own blog.

I'd really like to hear the story of what running a startup is like when your main competitor is Google.
Agreed. I find myself using my Jabra Elites for exams and deep work more than my QC35s. Not only do I get mild discomfort from the QC35s pressing on my (somewhat large) ears, but the Jabra Elites are much easier to pack and take with me anywhere.
