All my evidence is anecdotal of course, but in 20+ years of working in the Bay Area, I've asked maybe 30-40 people who live in SF and commute, why the do so. Most of them were young single people (or young couples) and enjoyed the cultural aspects. They were happy to endure long commutes (often on company shuttles) just so they could enjoy those things on nights and weekends.

When I worked in SF, one left the city when they had kids, and one bought a house, but they just enjoyed urban living, being able to walk places, have lots of services nearby, etc.

A few were part of a family where their kids were born there and were in school there, or the grandparents were nearby.
On the other hand, there might be a fair number of people who move to comparable but much cheaper locations (and given the insanity of SF, that includes most other major US cities) while still trying to work remote indefinitely.

I included the clock.org homepage because I found it surprising how closely it describes the EARN IT act, despite being published before 1998. It’s a warning from over 20 years ago.

I agree that their analogy isn’t particularly strong, so I removed that part from my comment.

I’d assume parent’s point is regarding the “which is ridiculous because e-commerce storefronts should do that in the first place without going through the whole checkout process.” part.

There’s a lot of legitimate case were showing shipping price upfront is just not doable or valuable to the customer.

BTW there are a surprising amount of shops for specialized goods that won’t even list the final price at the end. The customer places an order, and they update it with a finalized price after a human looks at the content, and from there the customer is free to pay the transaction or give up the order.

My parents chose to do something which seemed super reasonable here: They both worked and both needed cars. The one with the longer commute drove the fuel efficient vehicle, and the one with the short commute drove the giant SUV, minimizing it's impact. But if the need to transport a lot of people or large items arose, it was there for either's use.
This is all true, I just wish people didn't put that much weight on some pretty random and oddly specific tech interview questions.

I've practically [re-]invented Redis back in 2008 while working for a company, and wrote something very akin to the Google crawler bot in 2009 yet at some point 2 months ago I "fail" an interview because I didn't do the best possible optimization of a basic stock storage system that has packages at different weights (and valued in different currencies) and since I had to fit a whole mini web project in 2h I of course didn't pursue perfect optimization. But the thing was working pretty well and ticked all boxes that were required -- and perfect optimization wasn't mentioned otherwise I'd probably skip 1-2 features to achieve it and fit in the [arbitrary] schedule of the homework assignment.

And then boom, you are no good because of a hidden requirement and unclear communication which aren't my fault.

I do get your point. Really. But people put too much value on some pretty random questions / assignments as well.
Yeah, my comment was intended narrowly - in no way was I endorsing FPTP. :)
No, removing rental properties from the market to do short term rentals lowers the supply of rental properties, so AirBnB actually has the effect of raising rental prices. Nevertheless, my understanding is AirBnB and the short term rental market are not exactly doing well during the Pandemic, have you been AirBnBing during Covid?
It's the network not iOS. If there was that much fat in the iOS IPv4 stack they would have fixed it by now.
> would be greatly reduced due to RCV (and Approval) being better at capturing preferences

The problem is that IRV/RCV doesn't capture your preferences, because it ignores all your preferences except your top choice, until your top choice is eliminated. IRV is reasonably good at making sure that third-parties can't prevent first-parties from being elected, but very bad at actually allowing third parties to actually be elected even if they have widespread approval.

Approval is a good compromise, and fully ranked systems (e.g. Condorcet) would be even better but much harder to enact. I would happily support universal adoption of Approval.

First of all, Apple was a contributing member to the USB-C group. [1]

Second of all, it is reversible (?)

It's inferior to USB-C in at least two ways:

1. The part that wears out is inside the phone in Lightning and inside the cable in USB-C

2. Lightning is for the most part USB 2.0 capable (though there is a newer USB 3.0 version - unsure how many devices/accessories support that).

> The market is SUPER trendy, and breweries have the choice of either jumping on the bandwagon of the style-du-jour or being left by the wayside. Because there are so many breweries and they are so young, the overall quality is just okay with maybe one beer being notable and the rest being slightly sub par. Then you have this issue of investment firms and bigger conglomerates buying up successful microbrews and sucking the life out of them.

If there's hope, and it's hard to see sometimes, it's that most of the trends are at most regional. It's more rare than not that one of these trends jumps coasts, for instance. Many of these trends seem to be truly localized, or at least move in waves. (Anecdotally, by the time my West Coast friends were talking about hazy IPAs/New England IPAs, the trend had already come and gone in Kentucky.) From the level of "everybody in my city is drinking the same thing" perspective it feels the same, but from a high level it mostly means that no big corporation is themselves dominating the trends, almost all of them look to be following the trends, lagging them quite a bit, and/or entirely missing them. Goose Island, to follow your example, is no longer seen as an innovator even if folks don't know the why is that they are a brand arm of A-B InBev (the international conglomerate owners of Budweiser, etc), and no longer "local" despite how much they pretend to be.

The last nationally distributed beer I can recall trending as a fad is the one mentioned in this article, Magic Hat #9, and as the article itself points out, it is possible to take comfort that in building that success model Magic Hat more accidentally burnt national distribution bridges behind them than pave the way for more conglomerates to follow (or even the shell of themselves owned by a conglomerate to continue to succeed at that level), all the while paving behind them communities more likely build locally, trend regionally at best.
1. This is not a response to the climate crisis.
2. Ford is working on an electric F150.
3. The amount of fuel consumed is negligible compared to actually operating the vehicle in the first place.

Using every little thing as a reason to interject “What about the climate crisis!?!”, no matter how irrelevant it may be to the actual problem, is just going to lead to exhaustion and make it more likely that people will ignore the issue entirely in domains where it actually does matter.
Yes, work, network, recreation and to get laid. Then you move to the burbs so your kids can have a yard.
A lot of tech workers endure long commutes to other parts of the Bay Area from SF because they wanted to live in SF so badly. I'm sure it's a lot less attractive now because everything is locked down.

>I have not seen any evidence that it is a serious problem in that it has significant impact at a societal level.

>Let's not forget that the same people that propose these bills are the ones hanging out at Epstein's private island.

The implication in the last sentence of your comment would seem to contradict your initial premise.
It was early into social distancing that big techcos started announcing/enforcing their policies on remote worker salaries... I though: that's fast. This must be reactive. Maybe lots of employees have already moved, or they expect them to.

Mainstream remote work has felt 5 years away for 20 years. We kind of stopped pondering the side effects. Circa 2000 there was a lot of interesting speculation though. Housing markets. Transport markets. If a 45 minute d2d commute represents 10% of a workday, remote working increases productivity by this much. Labour market flexibility and liquidity, for what that's worth. Reversing regional brain drains.

Hopefully this is because of remote work relocations, not just insolvency.

On a side note, this recessing is freaking me out.
The main difference is that there is a 95+% probability that Ford will manufacture between 500,000 and 1,000,000 of their trucks over the next year. If you want one, you will most definitely be able to get one.

Not sure how much you know about the SF market. We only get glimpses, but it gives you an idea of how much wealth these landlords capture.

The building at the corner of Fillmore and Waller was bought for $1.05 million, 20 years ago. It has 6 retail storefronts and 18 apartments upstairs. Just one of the retail doors rent for $10000/month, or it did before this rent strangled the tenant:

https://hoodline.com/2020/04/cafe-du-soleil-shutters-after-1...

The building is assessed for $1.4m, so the taxes are around $15000/year (which the tenants pay under NNN terms) but the gross is probably well over $50000/month. And there's no landscaping, obviously.

These people are absolutely stacking cash. They are just parasites.
The original comment didn't say anything about breweries.

I worked for a pub for a while that did beer and wine only with 20 taps. We definitely had the occasionally stinker that sat around for way too long (if it sat around too long, it would start getting poured for the staff and regulars on the house), and we had our usual suspects that would pop almost every day. By and large though, it was rare for any given keg to last over 4-5 days.

40 is a lot more than 20, but we were a relatively small bar that didn't even open on Sunday.
Hey quick question, what's your goto RV forum/community? Just looking at getting into it this year and planning to rent one about that size for a couple of weeks in August.
That‘s not a solution a bank will buy or pay for, because the bank would do worse on average.

The solution is to still have humans in the loop who can make reasonable decisions.
Moral indignation aside, the actual generator functionality will have a meaningful improvement in air quality and pollution. The use case for something like this are scenarios where workmen need to use tools on a jobsite.

Running a generator workload on a truck engine with emissions controls is a huge improvement over what people do today -- run standalone generators that pollute far more in terms of particulates, noise and other factors.
The article is making it sound like some kind of backfire, and I'm not really sure why. It's gotta be good in the long run for US auto workers if their competitors' wages triple.
> Does "select a president uniformly at random from the voting population" count as a voting system?

Not voting, but it is a real election system, known as Sortition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition). It was used in ancient Athens.

Also, yes, approval voting is a great approach and we should absolutely use it. We'd still get people who vote party-line, and it'd take a while for people to truly internalize that they can safely vote for other candidates they like, but it'd be a massive improvement.
Even triple the pay they are making $16 dollars/hour which is less than whatever an american auto worker is going to make.

> 1/4 of microbrews being better than all non-economy macro-micros is a good hit percentage in my book.

Not precisely what I meant. I meant, pick the top 6 (probably in terms of gross sales), not my favorite 6. Also, I don't mean to say that all microbrews are bad, but the majority of them are, and the ones that are good are no better or only slightly better than the macro-microwbrews. My top 3 favorite beers are micros (or IMO, really more of a regional, has supermarket distribution).

Regarding SF rent control: this commenter sounds like they know what they're talking about and say that landlords in SF cannot beat rent control with temporary free rent offers: https://socketsite.com/archives/2020/06/complimentary-rent-o...
They(Apple) designed both. They gave the worse one to the public. I wish they had the forethought to realize that usb-c would become ubiquitous, and people would be calling for it to replace lightning. Now it’s just too late. They will need to eventually adopt the worse connector just bec it will make sense internally for all Apple devices to use the same charger.
Trucks reducing emissions, matter however "little".

BTW, How do you quantify "little"?
I wish we were talking more about how to support the jobless long term rather than focusing on the numbers as a signal of the apocalypse (yes, I'm being hyperbolic). Seems like an inevitability we'll have to deal with one way or another.

I'm a bit of a bumpkin so I'm not familiar with various labor theory and whatnot... but in the long run we should maybe have more people working, but working less overall.
Isn't MindGeek one of the Montreal "tech giants"? Their entire business model is free trials and hoping people don't cancel on auto-renew.

There are lots of self employed people that own nice trucks, but the primary sales target of the F150 is a wealthy office worker who lives in the suburbs. By far their biggest customer base is people who like the aesthetics of the truck but do not need a truck, and do not use the features of the truck beyond its size.

Why do people focus on aggregate unemployment metrics so much? A $10/hr job with no benefits is tremendously different than a $60K/yr job with health care. The former is not a living wage. Yet both are just "jobs" -- what does that word even imply in 2020? Even worse are "job creation numbers", proudly brought to you by Aunt Mary who works three minimum wage jobs.

Is "employing" XX% of your population in virtual indentured servitude supposed to be something politicians are proud of?
I know this is against Hacker News rules, but I'll say it anyway: that's the stupidest thing I've read in days. Your 8th grade science teacher is off somewhere having an aneurysm and they don't even know why.

That same article you linked goes on to say:

> While rising carbon dioxide concentrations in the air can be beneficial for plants, it is also the chief culprit of climate change. The gas, which traps heat in Earth’s atmosphere, has been increasing since the industrial age due to the burning of oil, gas, coal and wood for energy and is continuing to reach concentrations not seen in at least 500,000 years. The impacts of climate change include global warming, rising sea levels, melting glaciers and sea ice as well as more severe weather events.

But you just picked the one part you thought sounded less apocalyptic and chose to ignore the rest.
If the US eliminated minimum wage, those jobs would have came here at the same rate.
Next time, I suggest trying to ask for a locoregional anesthesiologist to perform a pectoral block. Long-lasting local anesthetics work far longer than 3.5 hours, and no reinjection required.

There's taking away people's money but there's also just giving people more flexibility in where they live. If everyone still wants to live in a particular location regardless of any work requirements, that's one thing. But if people are primarily there because they have to be that's another.
