I'll chime in and say that I just moved from California to Washington in September of last year. While its not a huge change, its enough to make a difference.

Factors on why I did it:

- Housing costs #1. I got into a rent controlled 2 bedroom 1100 sqft duplex unit. It was ok, but the landlord sucked and the place was very unmaintained, and i was paying $2800 a month. No yard, no garage, tons of homeless around digging through my trash in the outskirts of Berkeley near trains and noise

- For the same price, I now live in a 2200 sq ft home with a yard, garages, in a nice area called Sammamish. In an area with lots trees, quiet, and a bit of occasional wildlife.

- Political climate was getting intense. Things were being taken to extremes, and I was honestly afraid for my safety if I accidentally interacted incorrectly with the wrong parties. Being in Berkeley didn't help, but it was most of the bay area.

- Washington is fairly liberal, but its balanced, and not extremist.

- Cost of Living in california is off the charts at this point. Between insurances, food, services, etc. things were going up and up.

- Washington has no State tax [Edit: I meant state income ta], while my pay was adjusted accordingly (i moved internally within my company as they have washington offices). I actually have more money at the end of the month. Quite a bit more. I paid down tons of debt just in the few months Ive been here. My grocery bill went down by 25%, my insurances were cut in half, Utilities are cheaper. I feel i have so much more breathing room. I have money to save, I am not living paycheck to paycheck anymore.

And to give context. I am a well paid senior software developer. I made and still make GOOD money. But my dollar goes sooooo much further up here, I am actually getting benefit from that good salary, instead of wondering where its all disappearing too and my debts not going down.

And I actually love everything else up here. I love the weather, I like rain, and the bit of snow we got just recently made me so happy. I see wildlife in my yard (deer and bobcats, and owls). Life is calmer, drivers are calmer. People actually seem like they care about their communities. My neighbors came out and said hi when we moved in and were friendly and welcoming. I didn't even know my neighbors in California.

And traffic, people are unhappy about traffic up here, and it can get almost as bad as California, but taking 30 mins to get 17 miles for work during rush hour, compared to 1-1.5hrs to go 10 miles across the bay bridge for work is vastly better.

California seems to be just unlivable if I want to work there. While I am lucky to be in a company that has good remote work culture, and so on now, most tech companies require you to live near the city the offices are in. And that affects things.

I am lucky I found a path out, and it still burned a lot of savings and bonuses to pay for the move. Even escaping was expensive.
But encryption doesn’t have “mostly safe”. It has safe and not safe.

There isn’t a meaningful in between.
I like Jenkins.

Some criticisms of Jenkins I'm aware of (and some I share):

* The UI is a bit ugly
* Plugins are a minefield. Some are excellent, others are undocumented and unmaintained. The UI treats them equally so it's easy to install a bunch of bad plugins.
* It doesn't have a good security track record.

But it's extremely popular as a self-hosted/corporate/behind the firewall solution because:

* It's extremely flexible.
* It can be self-administered by developers; they can get "root-like" privileges, with all configuration set from the web GUI.
* And of course it's free software

It's easy for an admin to deploy Jenkins, set some basic authentication / security, and then let developers do whatever they want with it.
Prop 47 is a ridiculous red herring. It raised the threshold for felony [whatever] to $950. To my knowledge that threshold hadn't changed in my lifetime, which is to say that the intent of the original statutes was that there should be a significant barrier to a felony charge. Meanwhile a misdemeanor can be punished by up to 364 days in jail. However police are generally unwilling to enforce misdemeanor statutes.

A couple weeks ago one of my cars was vandalized (hood was etched). The last time I talked to a body shop about getting a hood repainted I was told to expect to pay at least $600-$800. I'd expect by now the total cost will be over a grand. For all of the whining about Prop 47 (not from you specifically), do you really think the vandal was cognizant of the threshold for felony vandalism? Do you really think that they were trying to create just under $950 worth of damage? I sure don't. Hell, I don't even think that person deserves to spend in excess of a year in jail over this.

Prop 47 only encourages crime because we've moved into "police won't enforce the laws on the books" territory.
I agree with you that on aggregate across most cities all of this holds, but it's not alway the case for top cities like SF and NYC, where the true demand is way higher than potential supply.

I'm not a NIMBY type and am not complaining about gentrification but am speaking to the fact that building new housing in Williamsburg and LIC helped double average housing prices in the surrounding areas [1]. I used to hang out in williamsburg in the late 90s and early 2000s, when it was an industrial area and bushwick when it was a complete dump. All of the yuppies who live here now would have never stepped a foot in brooklyn/queens if these areas weren't rezoned. I live in Greenpoint now and pay over 3x more than my grandmother used to pay for a similar apartment 2 blocks away from the early 90s till late 2000s.

We should definitely build more housing, but we also need to admit that rising income inequality is the real problem here. A large portion of our country has not seen their wages grow and are a medical emergency away from living on the streets. SV is home to worlds most valuable companies, it might be time for them to start paying their taxes so we can provide a safety net for people who need it like every other developed nation.

That never comes up..the same tech sector working population want to pass their fortunes to their children through trusts and tax planning. I have seen them bristle when I suggested that their kids should pay taxes on their inheritance. It would be hilarious if it weren’t so hypocritical
Maybe you missed my disclaimer. The question wasn't intended as a dig, just a request for information.
Congrats on what looks like an amazing amount of work and a great project - I am always in awe of people who do this kind of thing!
Some people care about the welfare of others. I believe society is better if mothers and fathers are given time to care for a newborn, and beyond with sick days. And I don’t know anyone who isn’t affected by assisted suicide seeing as how no one has figured out how to escape diseases such as Alzheimer’s or dementia or cancer.
RPI is good in terms of the ecosystem and software packages more like Apple, modified from Linux something is the close source.
The downside of the compute module is the bulky unreliable connector, form of factor.
Arducam's SOM3 seems like an alternate solution to CM3, Keeping the minimum magic parts from RPI, and allows you to maximize your design capabilities. It also simplifies the design as well (2 layers PCB).
Unfortunately, it looks like they have a problem getting it into mass production, and you have to contact them for such customization services.
And they minified the first-gen RPi too.
> Non-working mothers is a modern anomaly. It used to be a sign of wealth for a man to have a non-working wife.

Running an aristocratic, bourgeois or farming household is a full time job, just as much as being an office manager. Post WW2 mass affluence with lesser time demands for running a household due to domestic appliances and other convenience led quickly to women exiting full time household management and joining the labor market.
> Washington has no State tax

Surely you mean income tax. Oregon is the state that lacks sales tax and makes up for it with an income tax.

Also, I'm not sure why your grocery bill would go down compared to California. Moving from LA to Bellevue, I noticed groceries cost more up here. Both states don't apply sales tax to groceries, at least.

It also costs a bit more to eat out here vs. LA, at least at the low end. Probably prices are cheaper in LA than the Bay Area, however.
I always thought curly (open) braces should be on the left on their own line, and in my mind, it's kind of like a corollary to Fitt's law applied to eye tracking instead of mouse movement.

That’s not what repealing prop 13 means..do you know the wording of prop 13?

Why should vacation homes be taxed? It’s is an asset. Imagine.. You buy a diamond ring..would you be asked to pay a use tax every time you wear it?
>It was fairly common to leave them on their own with other kids to play, only ensuring they're fed on time.

This was the norm 25 years ago, it's how I grew up.
Ah! Imagine the joy of the maintainers! They are "permitted" to not support software for free.
Actually I’m looking to do it for bookmarks. I’m working on a solution to send links to my email. I’d like to parse the links for their meta data, content, and get a sense what they’re about automatically (for example assign labels). Would love to hear your suggestions!

there is an app for identifying resistor color combinations, could that help? (didn't use that myself)
I don't get this at all. Housing is easily half the price of California, and so is income tax.
Yeah just like we’re nowhere close to go. According to the experts.
> Haven't we been hearing about "software that doesn't require any tech skills to build" for 25 years now?

It's not that recent. COBOL was designed with that in mind. So was SQL.
Searched "Bangkok" -> got some specific place called "Bangkok Lounge"

Searched "Bangkok, Thailand" -> 0 results
Okay, though that sounds like you're actually objecting for a different reason than inconsistency.

But I will note that "m" is used in the common distance-over-time unit of mph.

This is about equally as ignorant, incorrect, and useless, as thinking infinite universes means all infinite possibilities will happen.

> Given enough time, every possible structure is formed via random fluctuation

NO. That is not what infinity means. I hate that this garbage made its way into anyone's lexicon.
I would say it’s the lack of mental healthcare and a social safety net that causes all of the above. And it’s not possible to address on a state level as all the other states would ship the problems to the state that tries to offer the benefits.

What Does the Bible say about the end of the world
Whether you believe the Bible or not, there are things coming true as to what the Bible predicts. Things you may not even know about such as, near the end, prices of food will go so high people will not be able to support themselves. Or, it talks about there being massive wars and rumors of major wars that are described in the Bible. That is just the tip of the iceberg of what the Bible says about the end times

We are arriving at the event in which Jesus Christ returns to take his believers into Heaven where they will be spared from what's coming next. But, the events will play out in a way you might not expect.

As a longtime Digital Ocean customer, I just want to say that it's amazingly refreshing to hear directly from somebody with such insider knowledge. Kudos for clarifying the situation for us.

1010er here. I don't think Arthur would have trusted us with a fork if that was even a remote possibility. I find it true to the design and aesthetic of k3--you'd never notice if you didn't use the new features and they seem quite natural.
Don Lancaster's TTL Cookbook and CMOS Cookbook would be good companions for the Ben Eater series.

The author feels defended, but the subject of the dogpiling feels attacked. Maybe that leads to deescalation, but that's far from a foregone conclusion. Bullying bullies often further normalizes the act of bullying in the eyes of the bullied bully, as well as potentially normalizing bullying in the eyes of observers.

There are better ways to handle situations like this.
I had the opportunity to work with a dozen or so phds as an undergraduate, both in academia and in the industry, and what I saw was that the vast majority of them were not happy with their careers. Even the ones who were gainfully employed in the narrow field of study they specialized in. It definitely influenced me to skip the phd and go a different route.
> Kids being picked up from school predominately by woman is a social arrangement, the kind we hopefully at least try to change if we consider there to be better options.

Define "Better". Why should we be trying to change it? Why should we be meddling with other people's lives? People aren't being harmed here.

> But spending effort to keep pre-defined gender roles in check must be somehow bad?

Both men and women at least in the western world enjoy the same rights and discrimination by gender is not only frowned upon but can be brought before a court. I seems to me that they are already kept in check.
You seem to have a lot of judging and questionable assumptions in your post.
Quote: "He views the current conflict as similar to one that was emerging when he led the Justice Department in the early 1990s, they said, when law enforcement’s wiretapping efforts were disrupted by newly emerging digital technology."

Translation (also this can be viewed as a resume for entire article): The powers in charge are pissed off because they lost a tiny percent of their control and want it back.
>>>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.

Personally I agree with you. Crime is a risk we need to take, just like driving a car or crossing the road. My guess is that even in North Korea despite their Stasi on steroids system. So...

But Barr would say that is about to change, meaning you'll be affected more by crime, unless cops can access encrypted communications.

Nihilism is a complicated subject. Like feminism, it's a word that means a wide range of things to different people. One person's take on nihilism obviously is their operating definition more than a single decisive statement on the subject.
Implication, grammatical choices (such as capitalizing mother consistently), and topic focus are of course not the full picture, but they are not mind reading either.

The internet can lose a lot in translation, and I think I was quite charitable with it, and only addressed the explicit parts.
I don't know old you are but duck and cover drills were a thing in the Bay Area well into the 80s (although typically for earthquakes not warfare).
Go through each of the Bill of Rights, and for each produce a scenario where that right would be used by a criminal to protect him or her from planning, executing, and avoiding detection of a crime.

All individual rights are carved out from the default government, which is the one that takes absolute authority over all within its domain. North Korea is closest to this ideal today, but most vanilla monarchies were like this in the west.

Law enforcement officers (and politicians) must confront the simple fact that they must accept the restraints that the law places on them, even if it means letting the bad guy get away with it. Getting the bad guy at any cost ("Tango and Cash" style) makes a fun movie but it undermines the freedoms that our ancestors (by both blood and principal) fought and died for.
Doesn’t work. See Sweden. Men who do more parental care work and up having fewer children. People still end up costing between work and family.
Hi, I’m the creator of https://bitsms.org/ a Bitcoin to SMS relay that allows you to use Bitcoin without an Internet connection.
This is useful in areas with cellular infrastructure but no internet infrastructure or when using a cellular plan that doesn’t have Internet.

Bitsms doesn’t act as a wallet or store your private keys, instead you sign transactions in your own wallet and broadcast it through Bitsms.
It absolutely includes value judgement. You just described a form of value judgement too. You're saying that predictable generated code behavior is preferred to unpredictable generated code behavior.
There’s a song that comes up on Spotify once in a while that has, IIRC, clips of John Glenn during the Gemini missions. Chills down my spine.
What's your biggest fear? Are you competing with Heroku free-tier or AWS?
Daycare is not the answer. Not even "High Quality Daycare" (whatever that means?) is something to be proud of???... unless by "high quality daycare" you mean a personal nursery next to your executive office.

High quality parenting is the goal. We could provide adequate time off for anyone wanting to spend their time parenting THEIR child. Will they lose their job? No. Will they not get a raise or promotion? Yes.
That document shows how varied the property taxes are in Illinois. Moving from "Chicago" to Atlanta for tax reasons is believable depending on whether the person is moving from the City of Chicago or the Suburbs of Chicago.

> On average, the 2018 property tax bill for a home with a market value of $200,000 would be:
* City of Chicago: $3272
* North and Northwest Suburbs (Cook County): $4741
* South and West Suburbs (Cook County): $6268
* Dupage County Suburbs: $4556

My sister used to live out in Kane County and her house, which she sold for about 33% less than my downtown condo is worth, was almost double my property taxes. Nearly 1.5 hours driving from downtown!
If it turned out that it was just women’s breasts that caused the disparity... that women who have mastectomies do just fine in Academia, would you consider that to be “case solved, situation normal, plain old biology, no sexism here”?

Or would you keep looking for a solution that allows women, who have the very normal female attribute of “having breasts”, to also be catered to and be able to get work done and be compensated despite the whole “breast having” thing?
It probably refers to the Oxford Dictionary.
That’s not what repealing prop 13 means..do you know the wording of prop 13?

Yes. In addition to following the flurry of news articles every time some politician dares to bring up Prop 13, I grew up in the Bay Area, and in fact I studied Prop 13 along with its consequences and potential changes while at university. If you'd like to be pedantic, your words were "And then they try to change prop 13".

Nobody (at least nobody with any sort of visibility) has proposed repealing Prop 13 wholesale.
> the core requirement of Continuous Integration that all team members commit to trunk at least once every 24 hours

It sounds good except for this part.
Well the reason I brought up objectivity is because under your proposal you'd have facebook making subjective judgements about 'objectivity false' statements. That's fine, but you made it sound like you believed this enforcement would be a matter of objectivity, which it cannot be.
My home router is a Linksys WRT3200ACM running the latest OpenWRT. I only set it up this week when I moved into my new apartment, so I haven't quite put the wireless through its paces yet, but over ethernet it keeps up with my near-gigabit (900-ish Mbps) WAN just fine.
Nihilist: the expected value is 0. I'll play just for the hell of it.

Pessimist: the expected value less than or equal to 0. It's a meaningless game of chance, and it doesn't matter what you do.

Existentialist: the expected value is 0, but if you score 10 points, we'll call it a win.

Cynic: you think that the expected value is positive. You idiots only act like you're not playing to win.
The analogy fails. Consider instead a charity kitchen in a town with a fairly substantial Jewish or Muslim community, but the charity kitchen insists on serving pork.

Here are some statistics about hearing loss: https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/statistics/quick-statistics...

They are enlightening. 25 % of people between 65 and 75 are hearing-impaired, rising to 50 % of people over 75. What exactly is the argument for excluding the aged from Berkeley's online offerings? It would be wiser to argue in favour of accommodation for disabilities because it may be that you will need them sometime in the future.
By "no head count" I meant was it could happen that the head count they are conducting interview for was lost by the time the package reached its final stage. Giving Google's extremely long hiring process, I imagine this happens more often to Google then to other tech companies.

I do wish companies are more transparent about their hiring decisions.
I did similar with Dreamhost back in the day, linking through comments and my signature. Great cheap advertising for a high karma to be recommending you, and I was using them.
Here's some background on homelessness: https://calmatters.org/explainers/californias-homelessness-c...

I don't expect that you intended it this way, but be aware that the way you've phrased the question is likely to offend --- homelessness is complex and most homeless folks aren't criminals.
Nope. I think if two CEOs are not enough to make one business strategy that's incompetence. Is there any reason to think otherwise? They failed at what they were supposed to do and now they can't take any blame???? WTF?
