To me, deleting the issue instead of disabling comments or making read-only suggests mens rea on the maintainer that their actions were out of line and regrettable, and don't suggest an effort to de-escalate the situation.

I have lost count of the number of times I have re-read Tolkien's works. I first read The Hobbit in 7th grade, and went right on to LotR. It was some time before I was able to get my hands on a copy of The Silmarillion (the hard cover edition--I still have it), but I remember reading it almost straight through once I got it, because I was so keen to see what was in it after reading the appendices to LotR.

Noah Smith has a theory that one of the best ways to develop a country that’s nearing an inflection point is to commit to building something like this. His example is a coastal African country committing to building an Aircraft Carrier. You would need to develop advanced capabilities across a dozen industries and it could realistically kickstart competition in every one of those areas as the local skills level up. It’s a provocative but plausible idea in my opinion.

I know a lot of these conversations are about families and older people than me, so an anecdote from the POV of a 26 year old

I just moved from Durham, NC back to New England after a year (Moved to NYC specifically, this is my first time in a truly large city)

I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone in my age group (and in tech) would want to move to Durham/Raleigh from NYC, except for raising a family

The cost of living in these places New Englanders and Californians are flooding has been shooting through the roof faster than the standard of living, which is staying steady to dropping as gentrification and population growth causes very real problems with traffic, crime, and homelessness.

Ironically, the low taxes that draw people to most of these places are a result of conservative policies, the same of which lead to limited infrastructure spending and ability to handle all this growth.

-

Sure I pay 40% more for less space, but I don't need a car anymore, I can still go out to nature on the weekends, I can still go out to nature on the weekends, food scene on my surrounding few blocks is equivalent to the whole of Durham (and paradoxically cheaper, CoL calculators compare things like milk and bread, but when there's a restaurant on every corner, pricing is somewhat competitive), there so many activities, the list goes on.

Also the elephant in the room for all these low COL area conversations is savings. I can save the equivalent of my entire paycheck from Durham every month, and still live off what's left when subtracted from my NYC salary.

And while it's true NYC is more expensive, there's no rule that says one day when I'm retiring and trying to live off my savings I have to live in NYC.

A dollar is a dollar. If you take a pay hit based on lower COL, you're making a long-term sacrifice based on your current situation.
Yeah, but there's not exactly a strong trend of more independent non-hospital affiliated practices springing up creating a huge market [1, 2].

I also sorta doubt that the practices that have a large need for EHR/RCM (i.e. anyone who takes medicare/private insurance) don't already have a EHR/RCM solution already that has this functionality built in a la athenahealth/practice fusion.

Which is proof of the topic on hand. The influx of Californians brought their Democrat voting behavior with them.
As I said in the essay I posted on my blog some time ago (link upthread), I think Jackson simply didn't understand Tolkien's conceptual scheme, and couldn't parse the idea that Aragorn is simply a man who is able to make the right choices because they are right, and to help others to make right choices too. Jackson is certainly not alone in this in the modern world.

Yes, and it happens all the time in other projects. There's always "so-and-so's fork that implements feature X and changes Y", and it's awesome that that's a possibility since it means no project is held hostage by its maintainer, and that differences in priorities don't mean the code can't be useful for a range of use cases.
You’re assuming that they are only good for two years. It is true that they are tiny electronics with tiny batteries and some people have reported them dying after two years, but in my experience they don’t all. My AirPods gen1 were 2.5 years old when I replaced them with AirPods Pro and they were still good for about 80% of the original play time. I gifted them to my sister who is using them and has had no problems.

I use these for several hours per day and get plenty of use and enjoyment out of them. If they did die after two years, I’d say I got my money’s worth out of them and buy another pair.

I’m probably just cynical but this seems like it’s just Google trying to pat themselves on the back for “improving diversity”.

I’m curious how many of these IT professionals Google actually hires.

Grow with Google but still not good enough to get into Google.

If Google really wants to improve diversity, how about changing the interview process so it’s not biased towards Ivy League grads. Most people of color aren’t there.

And then they try to change prop 13 to punitively tax the senior citizenry and retirees on fixed income.

I'm not going to bother digging into most of the rest of your claims but this is particularly disingenuous. Most of the recent attempts at changing Prop 13 have focused on a split roll that would keep the tax limits on primary residences. Putting grannie out on the street is exactly what the anti-tax zealots (Jarvis and co) used to sell the state on Prop 13 and 8 in the first place. What's being proposed now would raise taxes on things like vacation homes and commercial property.
> ".. two CEO changes in the past 18 months and leadership changes that created competing directions in the business .."

They had several different chefs that all had different ideas about the menu, probably resulting in too many odd dishes, and maybe more cooks than necessary. That might lead to not executing well on the dishes at hand. Refocusing on a few good dishes, and making sure there's not too many cooks, might result in a better dinner. Unfortunately, that may require letting some cooks go.
If you think Texans pretend Austin doesn’t exist, I doubt you’ve ever been to Texas. It’s very frequently lovingly referred to as a liberal armpit, shithole, etc.

Austins problems (super high housing costs, homelessness) are often trotted out as an example of Democratic policies being the source of California’s problems.
Honestly I'd feel that walking around in a city with noise cancellation is dangerous. At night you risk mugging, and during the day you risk running into people or getting run over by a car or bicycle or something.
There's a balance that must be struck between the efficiency of law enforcement and the freedom of citizens. Personally, I lean heavily towards the latter, and I think this is the reason:

My life and the lives of those I know are affected by criminals or terrorists with absurdly low frequency. I'm sure this is true of many Americans; perhaps more true now than ever in history.

So why is it that there is so much support for tough-on-crime policies that decrease popular freedom in obvious ways? Why does it seem like the less people are affected by crime, the more they abhor it and feel the need to root it out to the last, no matter the cost? There are diminishing returns here. The price we pay to track down the last criminal on Earth will be _everything_.
> That doesn't justify that sort of systematic pressure.

If I were a parent I would be trying to mitigate the risk to my child. As I previously stated it is unfair but not unfounded.

It cannot be sexism if it is based in fact.

> An African American is much more likely to be a murderer than a white American, but that doesn't make it ok to cross the road whenever you see one.

* I don't live in the US, I am from the UK. The term African American doesn't really mean much here.

* If there was a young guy dressed in sports gear and appeared to be somewhat of a lout, no matter what the colour of his skin I would cross the road.

It is unfair. Sure. But when I was a younger man (I am almost 40 now), I used to be followed about and stopped by police and security because I was simple 1) Male 2) Under 25. People are simply mitigating the amount of risk to themselves, business and family.

> California has only gotten more “progressive” with each election.

That is different from "damping the extremes".

Why is it so difficult for those on the "conservative" side to believe that the election outcomes reflect the will of the populace when they actively reject "conservatism"?

> I hope you understand that it’s “progressive” policy which has caused crime to explode

This is a dog whistle way of saying "homelessness" as most crime has not exploded.

However, I have yet to see a conservative solution to homelessness short of "round them up and ship them somewhere else". aka part of the reason for California's homelessness is other, generally conservative, states shipping them in.

> housing prices to rise

A fair argument. And this is also a contributor to homelessness. Prop 13 is going to have to fall before anything really helps with this.

> and people to leave the state.

I'm still waiting for all these Republicans in Southern California to head to Texas. Any time now ...

What the article points out is that most people leaving California are, unfortunately, on the lower end of the income range. Conservatives like you should welcome this as they are generally Democratic Party folks.
That would be https://www.landmarkworldwide.com/ ? I'd never heard of it/them. It asserts "designed to bring about positive, permanent shifts in the quality of your life—in just three days", but you mention "couple decades". Comment?
Housing prices are going up in Sonoma because nobody is building houses (in SF, Sonoma, or any of the other counties in the 9-county Bay Area). Sonoma needs to build as much (well, more thanks to PG&E) as anywhere else out here.
The issue is the lack of dimensionality on your axis. If the political spectrum recognized more dimensions, you would find it that high tax vs republican is only one small dimension, thus not necessarily a contradiction.

Other, staff unavaibility plan, etc. All of these have some cost. Think what's most important for you.

> As men in the field we should advocate for those things Karen recommends, namely flexible hours, obscenely convenient high quality childcare, and other supports to make a career not the death of family.

Flexible hours impose large costs in terms of increased difficulty of coordination and communication and if you’re really serious about them you need to completely upend the organizational structure, like changing an on premise company to a fully remote one. There’s also a hard upper limit on your career because managers are the bottleneck for communication so they almost have to be available when active else is. Arrangements to make flexibility economically profitable are also often denounced, see Uber.

> Even if you disagree that there’s a problem here (and I think you’re wrong) how would these changes cause harm? Wouldn’t it just be a better world if people were less stressed by these things?

It would be a better world but flexibility imposes large costs. Obscenely convenient childcare is also far from a panacea. Sweden has cheap to free childcare and it’s available 24/7 for those whose jobs demand it. But while Sweden’s employment rate is very high it’s among the most sex segregated in the world and fertility isn’t noticeably different from countries that aren’t so generous, suggesting the effects on family formation are minimal.

Even so, it can serve two purposes: the author feels defended and acknowledged and the author feels relieved as the heat is, at least temporarily, directed at someone else. And this is the worst case scenario.

Software engineering and building products is a social activity. Embrace it and take pride in helping others. Its part of the role too.

I understand that to you, as an individual, it may seem detrimental and even a waste of time but realize that overall it’s a positive thing for everyone.

Instead of having some engineer waste hours struggling to solve a problem, just get them unstuck and go back to whatever you were doing.

My attitude is that when I’m in the office, it’s all office hours. I’m there to collaborate. If I’m not in a meeting, then I’m available for questions. With that said, it’s ok to say please wait or I’ll get back to you on that.

Please don’t take it the wrong way but I’ve always been bothered by engineers who have this attitude. Very often these are the same engineers that can somehow focus on writing code and watching Netflix on the side. A large portion of what we do isn’t very complicated and it doesn’t really require 100% concentration (hence netflix on the side). IMO, this is just an excuse we engineers use to pump our chest about how important our work is and to be anti-social.

Some tips

- make sure you have good documentation

- create a slack room where team members can ask for help and encourage them to use that instead of asking you directly. Other team members can pitch in too

- be proactive and get to know the engineers you work with. Ask them if they need any help or if they are blocked by something

- figure out the weakness of your team and hold internal trainings to fill in the gaps

- have some empathy for your fellow coworkers
> and then hand off to human telepresence control. It wouldn't surprise me if the first self-driving systems worked that way.

The issue is that humans fare badly in situations where they don't have to pay attention until they suddenly have a short time to react before disaster, and that's exactly the problem that "supervised" self-driving systems have been suffering from when they crash.

And if you have to pay constant attention to the road anyway, I'd rather be driving myself. What's going to win won't be self-driving tech, it will be driver assist, like advanced anti-lock brakes, or self-adjusting cruise control.
100%. The safest cities in America have the least gun control. Maine passed constitutional carry 5 years ago with much resistance and last year was voted the safest place to live in America. Meanwhile cities like Chicago with the strictest laws are murder capitals. Liberals then say but the guns are coming from X, Y, Z! Well why aren't X, Y, Z murder capitals? Let's deal with the root of the problem and clearly it's not guns/the symptom.

Most people have rental properties as investment properties.

Example: a 1 million dollar home rents for about 3500-4000/month in my Bay Area city. 10% goes to management company. And insurance is another expense, it’s not a lot.

Assessed value of a million dollar at current rates would be around $12k without parcel taxes or special special taxes added which can be another 3-6k extra.

It leaves about 2000-2500 as income. Assuming the home is completely paid off. If there is a mortgage or if it’s refinanced, there won’t be much of an income.

Rental income is considered income and subject to income tax.

Rents will RISE making housing even more affordable if people 13 is repealed. Any form of taxation is only designed so the house..aka the govt...wins. The house always wins.

Lobbies with housing interests are simply making home owners the villains...while the problem is lack of public transport, infrastructure and proper city planning and commercial zoning.

It’s easy to make seniors(who have no PR companies or lobbies) the villains or hard working people who have one or two rental properties as income nest eggs because they don’t have pension funds or stock options.

The Silicon Valley tech workers act like they are sharing and passing around a single brain cell amidst themselves when it comes to housing issues in the Bay Area. It’s mind boggling how easy it is to manipulate people into a mob when a nameless faceless villain who can’t be identified is painted to be the victimizer.
Generally, it means things that give more people a better quality of life. Black people getting civil rights, women’s suffrage, abortion rights, gay rights, were all considered progressive as far as I know.
