> But I wonder if a city could ever follow the model of Atlanta and try to build a "new Silicon Valley" from scratch with aggressive policies that lure companies/employees from existing tech hubs?

You might be surprised by how many "Silicon X" places there are. Most of them are trying to lure companies. Only a few - like Atlanta - seem to understand that they need educational and financial infrastructure first.
someone's git hosting service gets more signups because of bad PR by gitlab.
Notepad only supports CRLF, wordpad can read Unix-style files, which is a lot of files even on Windows. A great deal of software was written to unconditionally insert \n.

Formatting isn't the only reason to use it. I never bother to try notepad.
I’m surprised there wasn’t a lifetime plan for $5.99. The cost to store that amount of minimal data is moot. I would never pay monthly for something like this - but would likely jump in a second for my aforementioned plan.

Good idea thinking out of the box with your SaaS. Good luck!
> Most SF startups incorporate in Delaware because of the low corporate taxes.

That is not true. Most startups everywhere incorporate in Delaware because Delaware has the most robust legal system (e.g. the Court of Chancery) dedicated to handling corporate disputes. More info: https://whyy.org/articles/why-do-so-many-corporations-choose...
There's a huge searchbox in the taskbar by default that says "type here to search". You can click there and type "notepad" as well.
Definitely. It'll be interesting for me to balance my recurring costs while matching with consumer ideals. To be continued...
And it's natural to assume that things match your preexisting biases, as well.

All I will say is that I do have quite a bit more to go on than public announcements. I have worked for Mozilla for a long time, including during that event (but not the original uproar over prop 8 donations) and was familiar with the people involved, and am basing my opinions on body language and insider knowledge. But much of that is not mine to share, and there's no reason for people to believe a rando like me anyway, so I'd rather not get into details. It would just lead to accusations of spin or insincerity (justifiably so; you have no reason to trust me.)
Of course I was trying to keep the comment brief, but "we" in this case is humanity. And the "choice" in this scenario is not automating every job, as the article suggests. If we automate 99% of jobs, it would still not meet the proposed conclusion of the article.

In a more realistic sense of 'choosing' not to automate, it will largely come from disagreements over the subject itself. It will not be that all humans get together and decide it, but rather that a significant portion of humans won't have any part in it.

But from a pure historical viewpoint, inevitability is a fallacy.
I prefer something like notepad++ for config and notes. Syntax highlighting is useful for config files (especially larger ones). The auto storing of unsaved files is great for notes. Many of my notes are temporary but I still want them to survive a reboot when necessary. Plus I find tabs easier to manage when I have a lot of notes and files open. The Windows task switcher becomes awkward in that case.

I doubt that Microsoft has a partnership with Adobe. They are different companies. And the point is moot since you can install Gimp instead.
The company wouldn't move if it still had to pay 500K.

500K in SF gets you a smaller place and plenty of discretionary income. Companies in other places can often give you a house, but not match the discretionary income.
Ask HN: How do you enforce database standards?
How does your team ensure that your database standards are being followed? Naming standards, ensuring certain triggers are present, index/constraint rules, etc. Do you use tools, code reviews, or some other method?

I'm finding that this seems to be a harder problem to solve than enforcing other types of coding standards.
And the Bay Area as a whole wasn't cheap in the late 80s. (SF may have been cheaper because, as you suggest, upper middle class people weren't rushing to move to SF or most other cities in that period.) But I turned down recruiting from the Bay Area during that period in part because the cost of living was too high relative to where I lived on the East Coast.
Somebody at GitLab thought it was a bright idea to add telemetry to their cloud AND self-hosted enterprise versions. Needless to say, it's not about to go over well.

I currently use GitLab where I work; we chose it because our data is sensitive and a cloud service was not an option. This telemetry means that I won't be updating until this blows over. Frankly, whoever thought this was a good idea is a moron that doesn't seem to understand that users like my company chose GitLab because we didn't want this shit.

> At the park I was definitely viewed with suspicion by the other mothers even though I was a regular, and none would really talk to me

Interesting. My experience as the only dad at the parks with my young child was that all the moms wanted to come tell me what a great thing it was that I was there, and how they were really proud of me for doing it. It felt very condescending and awkward.
>it appears when you start typing.

This is a shockingly common problem for people. I can tell they feel uncomfortable just typing without a place "where" the typing will go. Many people will click the magnifying glass and then again place the cursor into the search field. Same with google, they will click the search field, then the cursor moves to the address bar, they feel surprise, and then place the cursor in the address bar a second time.
Interesting perspective; FWIW, I have OneNote, Sublime, Word, and ToDoist installed on my computer, and use them daily. But I still fire up Notepad several times a day. It's responsiveness and simplicity still make it useful for me. Basically, if I have several screens open and need to quickly type something somewhere, I'll use Notepad; but I'll also use it for quick review of config or small log files, where again it's speed and simplicity beat Sublime's features and syntax highlighting.
Also, I use it several times a day when I need to strip formatting in paste or otherwise do quick manipulation - granted, an edge case that perhaps shouldn't exist... but there it is anyway :)
Perhaps you should not assume stuff. Not all prostitutes dislike their work; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21346209

> Rust references should in general optimize better because they give stronger aliasing guarantees.

AFAIK this does not work atm due to a codegen bug in llvm (which can also affect code using restrict in C in some cases). This bug will get fixed one day, but most likely another bug will be revealed at this point… This part of LLVM was never really used in C as much as in Rust, so they keep finding bugs in it. Hopefully it will get fine in the long run, but I'm not holding my breath.
N++ is really great but what if I want to open text files larger than 4 GB? ;)
I haven't researched this issue much, but I think it's fair to expect that the CEO of Square could have anticipated this becoming an issue if Square succeeded.

abalone's comment that "they've changed their tune. ... and they still shouldn't pay taxes" could simply be hyperbolic, depending on how charitable people are in their interpretation (e.g. "shouldn't pay [the full amount of] taxes").

I think the main thrust of abalone's comment stands: the CEO of Square pushed for a tax that many think is absurd (e.g. darawk), and now that Square has grown and the tax is unfavorable for them, Square wants to change the tax that it seems to have lobbied for (and presumably thought was fair back then) -- that makes Square seem opportunistic [and not having the community's best interest in mind when the CEO lobbied for the tax]. At least, I think that is abalone's implication.
The whole point of OxyCotin was that it was a long acting dose. So if they admitted it didn't last that long it would cause loss of business. This cause a lot of patients to be undertreated and seek alternatives.
> If my competitors keep making stupid decisions then making SourceHut successful will be pretty easy

I know it is early days for SourceHut but this sounds realistic on some conditions. Due to the closed-source nature of Github + MS and this magnificent own goal from GitLab which disqualifies its claim to supporting "free and open source" projects, it should be only "easy" for SourceHut to be sustainable and supporting free software ethics as long as it resists VC funding and is self-funded with paid support.

Without more convincing features and a matching similar interface rivaling GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket it may go otherwise, but it already has some of essential features already and I hope this true free-software alternative succeeds.

This is as close as it gets to creating a service that truly supports free-software with paid support.
Stripe cofounder here. Quick comment to say that we're excited about the move. South San Francisco is a cooperative and open-minded city. In being an infrastructure company, we have to take a long-term view, and we think this can be a good for many years. And while the Bay is tricky from a commuting standpoint no matter what the location, the the presence of a marina right beside this site opens up a lot of interesting new transportation options for us throughout the Bay.
We also called out our signups at GitLab when GitHub got acquired, so it is more than fair that Drew is posting this.

The Secret Service Interviewed Eminem over “Threatening Lyrics”
Definitely not most of the time. In Amsterdam, window prostitutes need to be registered with the municipality, chamber of commerce, tax authorities, and with the window operator they operate at. Minimum age is 21. This operator needs a license, which requires a municipality approved plan of operation.

National police authorities do extensive research concerning prostitution because it touches key issues of organised crime, in particular illegal prostitution, human trafficking, violence, money laundering etc. The amount of problems they find with window prostitution are relatively small, because they're licensed and under supervision of various authorities. The amount of human trafficking, taking away of passports etc you describe, doesn't happen much at all in the red light district.

It does happen, but not in window prostitution (which has fixed, licensed addresses, which are supervised). Rather it happens in the shadow, i.e. various somewhat secret and temporary networks which offer prostitution services at constantly changing addresses, with front men running the operations. Almost all cases where police finds out about human trafficking, violence, money laundering, underage prostitution etc, is from this underground sector.

I'm not saying the red light district is paradise or that I'd want me or my friends to work there. But it's not really where most of the problems are. When people speak about issues in the Netherlands with respect to prostitution, it's either NIMBYism in the red light district, or the issues with illegal underground prostitution outside of the red light district. People seem to conflate the two in this thread.
Hexagonal planar transition-metal complex
The last stage of building the thing (say there are four stages), which always seems to take me at least 50% of the total build time. That involves force-grinding my way through many of the things I enjoy the least, some of which I intentionally leave for the end. It involves a lot of small adjustments, going back over things I intentionally left half-baked as a stand-in, bug fixes (I include fixing UI & UX problems or flaws with that), trimming down unnecessary bloat in the CSS & JS, doing a double or triple check on security, double checking legal, double checking database performance (making sure there are no obvious bottlenecks), finalizing user guides (FAQs, etc etc), and doing a lot of full run-throughs on the product from initial sign-up onward. Also just generally trying to find aspects I can break in the system, simulating as a normal user. I dislike the time sink of all of that, even though it's necessary. My productivity drops considerably with my dislike of the process of pushing through the things I hate doing.

I built an auth system seven or eight years ago that I regularly evolve and reuse. That goes into place on the first day, with usually minor adjustments per project and it just works. Before that auth was always an annoying chore.
Obesity is caused by shitty diet and "normalization of deviance" since a better term escapes me right now.

People eat too much low value food. Some of that is due to poverty, but when over half the population is overweight, it isn't just an issue of lack of good food.

It's bad choices. Largely brought on by bad government advice and incentives.

Edit:

Expanding a bit, I recently talked with a couple friends from college. One had lost 100lbs and another had lost quite a bit of weight. The main change they made was to cut out soft drinks. One of them said, "Why didn't anyone tell me that's a bad idea?"

Worded another way, I've heard it explained before that we tell people "eat more of this". People take that to mean "Eat what you already eat, plus these things, and you will be healthy."

What it actually means is "Don't eat this garbage that is making you sick." But it's never worded that way. Add to that the fact that all government nutrition advice is basically just pandering to the highest bidder with little regard for what actually makes for a healthy diet, and it's no wonder people have so many problems.

It wasn't just gun banning. Hillary was a terrible candidate. She didn't stand for much except her being elected. She wasn't likeable. She called half the country "deplorables" - the exact voters that we're talking about. She exuded this air of entitlement. And she had some scandals. (Yeah, I know, Trump wasn't exactly free from scandals either. But he didn't have the rest of the baggage.)

Your missing the part where many states chose not to accept the housing funds, like Texas under Rick Perry, and instead just bought their homeless bus tickets to California.

Texas still just buys their homeless bus tickets to California. When I ask homeless people in LA where they are from, Texas is the #1 response. The LA Times just ran an article this week about people who to come LA seeking stardom and are homeless within a few weeks because they didn't bring enough money to pay rent because they thought they'd be a rich megastar within a few days.

It's truly fucked up for LA and SF to get blamed for having a homeless problem when most of the homeless in CA aren't even locals.

>the last few years Atlanta has overtaken LA as the top producer of feature films in the country

I've worked in the film business a bit. I'd say it's more like colonization than relocation. Atlanta is a place for filming at low costs, most of pre/post production and the organizational aspects still happens in Los Angeles. Most of the talent is still in LA and flies out to Atlanta for a few weeks. They're saving a buck on shooting, paying a bit for local work (mostly infrastructure stuff) but they aren't really generating value for the city.

The issue with any other city becoming the "SV of the XX" in my opinion comes down to VC and business culture. I think California created something unique when it came to powering ventures and crazy ideas, whereas other parts of the country tend to be more risk averse. Whenever I see new initiatives to draw startups to new cities, the common thread is low amounts of seed money with draconian term sheets from people with very little experience and no network effects to speak of.
Yeah, I specifically meant the "grow a new satellite office into a new HQ" transition. I know companies open satellite offices all the time, but moving your HQ to one of them is much less common.

I think DNS is one of the top two most appropriate uses for blockchains. Besides the auctions and the TLD, what are the tradeoffs you're aware of between ENS and Namecoin? There's a part of me that feels like having One True Blockchain for everything sounds cool, but I also think Ethereum might be overkill for what is essentially a key-value store. Is there a formal ENS whitepaper with all the relevant high-level details in one document that my google-fu is failing to find, or are these web docs and the github code the best starting point right now? https://docs.ens.domains/
This really makes me want to read Boswell's biography of Johnson - contemporary accounts from past eras are, in my experience, fascinating and often mind blowing, and by how Borges describes it, Boswell's account must be a rare gem.

Some people just haven't/won't learned the grammar and vocabulary of computer literacy. I think this person means "start menu?" But it looks like a box to them so that's how they described it.

People tend to not really know what a neighborhood is really like until they've lived there for a bit. It's common for things to be different during the day versus nighttime or weekdays versus weekends and a lot of places change dramatically seasonally or have some very big annual event that impacts the entire area for days or weeks.
