You have options in the city. Make a lot of money? Private school is an option. I live in the Seattle area, according to Zillow Seattle schools are ok, nothing special but definitely better than Spokane or Walla Walla schools. And then there is Bellevue, mercer islands, north lake WA, and so on that are all 10s. Works well enough.

I can see it as a huge problem if one lives in Chicago, I guess. The Midwest isn’t a great place for that kind of thing.

What if I came up with a title:

That would at one and the same time relate a common-sense belief on the part of Ms Harris and yet _somehow_ suggest that Ms Harris was falling back into her old evil prosecutorial ways.

I really hate this kind of disingenuous innuendo. It reflects the prevailing progressive mindset that is so repugnant to those who think rationally, and for themselves.
Plenty of introverts who like building things (the stereotypical technologist) are into it.

More income savings to spend on new gadgets, space to build things (plus No HOAs to say you can't run a business or put up a big antenna on your property), and relative peace and quiet in your environment are quite appealing. I know some brilliant technologists who work remote and wouldn't trade their life-style for any salary in a big city. I'm a city-lover myself, but easily understand the appeal of working in tech while living in the country.

I'm not a web dev but try to extend back-end to full-stack especially on personal projects which are mostly to try out something new. I was impressed by what React achieved but not by codebases using it. Vue was my go-to SPA. Now it's Svelte with the v3 release. I've yet to use it for anything substantial but that's my best hope. In the past I've used RoR and even Yii/php which are impressive. For non-SPA I'd now choose Phoenix/Elixir.

How I stay sane is not to go 'all in' on any framework. My pick for mobile is Flutter but that could easily change to Kotlin Native or Svelte Native if they turn out better than the game engine rendering mode. Declare this is my fave 'for now'.

I'm sure this is much harder when you've committed to a stack for a good part of your career. I tend to grow more tired of companies not adopting new tools--the pragmatically good ones not just shiny. I'm also always looking for my next language, maybe Clean or Pony but happy to use Kotlin, TypeScript, or Dart in the meantime.
Are these devices maintained by someone or are they sitting there running years-old crumbling stacks?

Simply because you're public doesn't mean every dollar is being sent to either shareholders or directly reinvested into the business. Nor does it mean you are legally required to take actions to maximize shareholder value.

And then...

> A store that welcomes competition.

> We believe competition makes everything better and results in the best apps for our customers.

Our users trust Apple — and that trust is critical to how we operate a fair, competitive store for developer app distribution.
Because there are only a small portion of jobs that can effectively be done remotely.

A few long-term trends I see driving the move to big cities are:

1. Jobs are becoming more specialized, and so it's more difficult to find every specialty you need for many businesses in a smaller town.

2. There are many more two earner households. In the past, many people would conduct a job search over a wide area and move the family for the man's new job. If the woman already has a job she likes, especially one that would be hard to replace in another town, the couple is much less likely to move for a job opportunity.

3. Businesses know this and have noticed that it has become harder to recruit people to move to a smaller "company town" for an opportunity. They therefore have tended to locate new operations in bigger cities.

> Flattr is micro-payments, and is fantastic!

Flattr isn't micropayments. You as a reader pay a decidedly non-micro amount into a pool monthly that's then divided between flattr sites based on apportioned viewership on a monthly basis. This is the Netflix model, and exactly what I suggested. This is accounting, not micropayments. Neither the viewer nor the content creators ever transact sub-penny amounts, they only exist in the context of calculation and apportionment. And they do this specifically because people don't want to make individual purchasing decisions.

> AWS became successful party because of the "micropayments for servers" style hourly model.

Again, that's accounting, or more accurately, metered billing. A low price for services is not micropayments either.

> Micropayments are most certainly a limitation of the current financial system: Pulling together all the disparate banks of the world to cooperate to create a global API to facilitate payment for <$1 amounts? Don't assume that all problems are technical: This would be near impossible, where cryptocurrencies are doing this right now.

If this were something people wanted, you'd load up a, for instance, PayPal account and drain it pennies at a time. Once an aggregate payout to a specific merchant exceeded the transactable threshold it would execute automatically. This can be done today. People just don't want it.
At least in some of the US, quite a bit more. Winter might be swings of >50F, especially night to day, while summer variation is likely to be <40F. I'm not what all weather patterns factor into that, but a major part is that winter air is dryer, and water vapor does a lot to 'buffer' brief temperature changes.

That said, I mostly end up checking my tires more in the winter because I care more; if a tire is only a few pounds low I'd still prefer to handle it before I have to go drive on snow during a cold snap.

What you're describing as "stupidity" is properly called courage. From some (usually excessively selfish) perspectives it looks "stupid" to be courageous. However, it's is still rightly recognized as a positive and admirable trait, since the perspectives that would label it "stupid" are quite deficient, to put it mildly.

I think breaking things down into "alternative" and "mainstream" is not productive. I see no particular reason to come in with an a priori assumption that the mainstream media should be given a default presumption of truthfulness until proven otherwise, and the alternative media should be presumed false unless proved otherwise. To me, they're all in the same category to start with, and each media source starts presumed false unless they prove themselves worthy of trust.

I mean, seriously... why should they be given a default presumption of truthfulness? Because they were... there? Because they were so honest before? But how do you know that? You can't just the honesty of a source if it's effectively the only source you have. (And in practice, despite there being "three news networks", they seem to have been the same source in practice. I can only remember minor sniping between the various sources every once in a while.) Why default to trusting them? I'd say it's basically just the availability heuristic at play, in a way. It's easy to see the availability of effectively a single source, and approximate that to honestly, but you have no rational basis to make that approximation.

If anything, after decades of fairly unquestioned and monolithic dominance, the simple heuristic of "unchecked power corrupts" suggests that the mainstream media is virtually 100% likely to be deeply corrupt. I find the idea that the media was allowed to operate in a state of highly ethical reporting for decades and it simply never occurred to any commercial, governmental, or intelligence entity that "Gee, golly, it sure would be useful to exert a lot of control over that" to be an idea that requires a degree of trust in commercial, governmental, and intelligence entities that I can find only marginal evidence in favor of and significant evidence against.

The media often actively seeks to manipulate and deceive, and provides biased and incredulous sources to do so, all the time.

These locales are severely lacking in amenities that cater to people with incomes significantly above the national median. In most rural and semi-rural areas in the US and elsewhere, the household income is well below the national level, so the goods and services available in those communities reflect that. This puts a very low ceiling on the lifestyle that is achievable living in these locales even if you could afford it as a remote tech worker.

Most people who earn $100+k aspire to more than a lower-middle class lifestyle, which makes most rural towns unattractive. Small semi-rural towns composed primarily of high-income people exist but they are the exception rather than the rule, and the lifestyle in these places often suffers from a high percentage of part-time residents.
It's not clear to me how you are identifying "public" anxiety, as opposed to the anxiety of Washington. We can observe the latter in the behavior of Congress, e.g. The former is unclear.

In any case, let's go with "anxiety". Why is there sudden anxiety? Why should we worry about Pizzagate now while we didn't worry about similar things two years ago?

The answer is simple: Trump was elected. He is not alone; there is a widespread revolt of rightwing "populists" in progress worldwide. Marine fucking LePen just beat Macron in an election.

The people who support Hilary Clinton and Macron (i.e., "liberal globalist elites" to use your term) are materially harmed by this trend. They are desperate to understand how they can reverse it; but they refuse to consider that their ideology is simply unpopular. Instead, the problem must be "fake news".

The median UK salary is 30k pounds (https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/average-uk-salary); it's higher in london, but I find differing numbers depending on where I look.

But in any case: Although house prices are a problem - and one UK politics feels uncomfortable addressing. You imply impure motives on the economists's side in that they're what exactly? In any case, it was the economist that suggested an annual tax based on property value, which would be a step towards a solution of that problem. But this is primarily a political problem. Extra taxes, particularly on something that is near to voters hearts and will hurt their investments, albeit in a bubble - those aren't an easy sell.

Still, while you're right that house prices are problematic, it's not reasonable to compare rising house prices to stagnant median incomes, and thus imply that housing is less affordable than previously: interest rates are extremely low, so the cost of housing is low too. The high price merely means the risk and reward of ownership is high; but low interest rate means that the amount of income you need to support a given price of housing is much lower than before. I'm not saying this is good or healthy or anything; it's just not so simple as that previously housing was affordable and now it's not.

Nor is the political problem of housing - which voters really have themselves to blame for, nobody else - any reason to ignore the employment boom. Not everything in the world is going great; what else is new? But we can still appreciate what is going well while acknowledging that other - distinct - problems exist.
Does there have to be a a threat model for people to be uncomfortable with or unsupportive of surveillance? I just bought a new android phone, and if you accept the defaults they track so many different things (not even while you are using a google service necessarily). I disabled it all, and am constantly prompted to enable location history and a bunch of other tracking features. I don't like Google, I don't like their business model, I don't like how they go about what they do; a threat model isn't required to fundamentally disagree with an inescapable organization collecting and analyzing everything about me so it can be, at best monetized, and at worst used to manipulate people

> Clocks are a great analogy.

Indeed they are, and in no small measure because everyone is convinced that they know what clocks do and nearly everyone is wrong. Everyone thinks that clocks measure time. They don't. They measure the space-time interval between events, but when you try to explain that to people their eyes glaze over and they start mentally fitting you for a nice padded cell. But this actually matters if, for example, you want to understand the details of how GPS works.

Fake news is the same way. Most of the time it really doesn't matter, e.g. the person working the register at the grocery store can believe that aliens have kidnapped their pet hamster and it won't impact their ability to ring up your order. So most people go through life believing crazy things it never matters, until when it finally does their thought processes are so deeply entrenched that the actual truth sounds completely insane to them (c.f. "clocks don't measure time.")
