Here are some more mainstream sources. All "official" output on these subjects are heavily regulated and lobbied by corporate interests however. Further problem is that western culture is far too heavily empirical, whereas axiomatic/rationalist viewpoints on nutrition are often true and logical - it's just that nobody has paid the $$$ to "prove" them in a non-replicable study. However, my axiomatic broscience is frowned upon in the empiricist cult of the silicon valley so I have only linked to fairly establishment sources here. Still good for the basics

If you’re trying to go for a trite left vs. right comment, I’d like to point out that a lot of the cities that people in CA are moving to are also managed by Democrats.

The nature of current US geographic politics means that most cities will be run by a very specific party, both the well run and the poorly run ones. This is one of those situations that escapes easy and convenient narratives, especially ones that happen to support a partisan side.
A better stat would be the % of arrests of other cities' officials. The majority of population does not have access to the FBI scale embezzlement, even if they wanted to do it.
Competition between Democrats in the Generals each carrying water for the party does not make for competitive elections. Even the moderates in SF are to the left of the State and Country.
It's not necessarily a northern Chinese centric view of China as it is a Mandarin (as in the language family) view of China. The vast majority of Chinese dialects in a large band from Heilongjiang to Sichuan (and a bit out to Qinghai and Xinjiang) are more or less mutually intelligible. That mutual intelligibility drops off very quickly outside of that band. In particular a lot of Southeast dialects (Yue, Wu, Min, etc.) fall outside of that zone. But it covers the majority of Chinese speakers. (However, I disagree with the original claim that a Sichuanese speaker could understand Shanghainese).

See e.g. this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps7_NnkL-oM where for almost the entire video a couple is explaining words in their respective dialects (Sichuanese and Hunanese) to one another in their own dialect (i.e. not using Standard Mandarin at all in their explanations). The first half of the entire exchange is fluent and understandable by both people and also a Standard Mandarin audience. Only in the second half when they intentionally start quizzing each other on words they know will be tough for the other person and without additional context do they run into trouble (and occasionally resort to Mandarin).

Also, comparing it to Romance languages masks some complexities of the relationship. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16844074
Can you think of an example of monopoly which does not entail centralisation?

For regulatory purposes in the US, "monopoly" does not match either your definition nor the one I was taught in my intermediate microeconomics coursework.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20625775

Courts do not require a literal monopoly before applying rules for single firm conduct; that term is used as shorthand for a firm with significant and durable market power — that is, the long term ability to raise price or exclude competitors. That is how that term is used here: a "monopolist" is a firm with significant and durable market power.

https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/competition-guidance/guide-a...

Propaganda, censorsship, and surveillance are not the only concerns regarding monopoly. But within the media and communications domain, it seems that the problems and market-power structure are inherently linked.

If there are any other points needing addressing I'd be happy to hear them.
True, but if giving up that office also means you're more amenable to hiring employees in LCoL areas for 30% less, then you start to see some savings. Ditto if some of your existing employees move somewhere cheaper and you cut their pay a bit.

In what way is Seattle affordable?

The median household income recently surpassed 100k[0], and an average studio will run you $1800 per month (let's not even discuss owning anything). Sure if you're willing to put up with an hour commute (pre covid) or live with roommates you can find something more affordable but I would not describe Seattle as being at all affordable to most of the working class. Even as a tech worker, I had to compromise on a lot of housing criteria, compared to when I lived in the south, just to afford to live here.

> It’s extremely trivial for those in SF to move anywhere else in CA without having to even change their tax status (Edit: for withholding. Crossing state lines is more of a paperwork hassle for some companies), depriving SF of rents and taxes.

This is why governments should primarily derive their tax revenue from the one thing people can’t move around: the land. Unfortunately, CA eliminates this obvious avenue of taxation through prop 13.
The good school / good neighborhood thing is a self-reinforcing cycle. Wealthy families move to neighborhoods with better schools, increasing local tax revenue, which gets invested into better and better schools, which attracts even more wealthy families. On the other hand, middle class flight leaves poor families in shitty districts, reducing tax revenue, which means worse and worse schools, which means more middle class flight. The incentives guarantee this will happen.

We need to separate school funding/quality from neighborhood affluence but that's a tall order politically.
"If most startups and their employees leave, it’ll be the Detroit route for SF."

News flash: SF only relatively recently became a startup hub with the web 2.0 and smartphone/apps eras and the advent of free shuttle buses to the likes of Google/FB.

If the startups and their employees leave, it'll be slightly more like the diverse and more affordable SF that it previously was.

If you honestly think it's the Detroit route for SF should most startups and their employees vacate, you are horribly misinformed.

There's a practically unlimited number of people hoping SF prices fall enough for them to move back and/or buy property there. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the startup scene. If most the tech people moved out of SF I'd be far more interested in living there myself. The startup/tech monoculture has ruined the city in many ways.

When Gavin Newsom was San Francisco mayor he issued a proclamation in 2004 that he would end 'homelessness' within ten years.
https://www.sfchronicle.com/archive/item/A-decade-of-homeles...

As California governor he is now rolling out that failed policy across the state, attracting indigents and itinerants from far and wide with substance abuse, mental health and/or economic hardship problems.

People who aren't thinking assume 'not in my back yard' is the problem with resisting including these hordes of people 'into their community'. The latest fiasco is a half billion dollars being spent on buying hotels to 'convert into housing' across California. This destroys bed tax revenue, places for tourists to stay while introducing a sizable contingent of people with serious issues into downtown areas.

Proven approaches are projects like loaves and fishes in Austin Texas but California is ignoring cost effective and practical solutions, instead behaving like the well meaning but naive parents of an addict, lavishing money and help on their very sick child until it runs out with no success.

Hugo’s HTML generation is very lightweight and basically outputs whatever your HTML theme template tells it to— so with a bit of work your site can be very SEO-friendly.
You can still have isolation of responibilities between modules, like "this module only reads and writes to that database schema". Modules combined with appropiate glue then makes a service that is "fat" in responibilities but lean in network latencies. Code reviews that also checks that module seperation is maintained really helps.
Well, that's just not remotely true. There are six supervisor seats up for election this year, as there are every even year. Ronen is running unopposed, which is a bit odd. The other five seats have at least 3 candidates each. I don't pay too much attention to Supervisor elections outside my district (which isn't up this cycle), but from glancing at websites and endorsements it looks like there's at least a few non-delusional competitors. And I recall D6 in particular was extremely competitive last time around, since it was a vacant seat after Jane Kim got term-limited out.

https://sfelections.sfgov.org/candidates

EDIT: The Board of Supervisors also has a two-term limit, so even if you think incumbents are automatic winners (which they usually are - not usually unopposed, but, like most incumbents, I don't think they usually have to sweat it too much), there's going to be a competitive open-seat race at least once a decade.
I used to think Apple has the best approach to diversity, but this presentation really showed the folly inherent to the entire project. You realize that what you just saw was a cast of exclusively white men and women gushing over a cast of exclusively colored models? All the engineers and executives vs. nice-to-look at minorities. This is not a new social arrangement, and certainly not one Apple would stand for, and yet inadvertently this is is the image that they've created.

The pictures themselves are telling to. They are all weird, lower power poses. Could you imagine Tim Cook or another speaker striking a pose like that? This is how the executives like to be seen: https://www.apple.com/leadership/

Sadly it has come to the point where any criticism of diversity for any reason is sacrilegious, but people would be wise to think twice what the outcome of these policies is. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
If we let the money follow the student (aka vouchers) then good schools would sprout up and attract more students and more dollars in a self perpetuating cycle regardless of location. It is immoral that the only students who have the choice of which school they go to are those with rich parents that can select the private school they prefer. For the poor, it’s a derelict monopoly school full of lifers.

I am pretty certain, if our society manages to survive the current times, our attitude to centralization and globalization will change.

On the surface, it increases efficiency through central management and automation, lowering the prices and making products more affordable.

One layer deeper, it commoditizes people's time, making them more replaceable and lowering what one's salary can buy even longer.

If you look even deeper, you see that when people are not spending their passion trading, making deals, and creating things others would want to buy, they instead turn on each other. If your work doesn't keep your mind busy, it finds a different outlet, that seems to be driven by some primal tribal instincts. Team up with the ones of your kind and go against the neighboring tribe.

San Francisco is not meaningfully a one-party city. There are sub-party factions (the "progressives" and "moderates") who vote as blocs on the most significant issues and tend to get similar groups of endorsements. The Republicans have been run out of town (for good reason), so now the Democrats, which are a big-tent party, can - and do - safely fight amongst themselves. And it's not just primaries, either; ranked-choice voting means that general elections for city positions are usually contested between two (or more) Democrats even in November.
Moderate politicians of the world are to the left of the state and country.
You're ignoring the fact that SF has rent control; it resets only once a vacancy hits.

If market rate was 3k a few months back, but is only 2k now, if you take a 15-year view, it's still cheaper to let your rent-controlled unit sit unrented for 12mo than rent it at just 2k for 15 years provided the 3k/mo rates recover in two years.

Basically, that's one of the major reasons why rent-controlled units aren't going down in prices. Bundle in Prop 13, and you aren't even paying any real property taxes on those units to sting your finances.

Yup! Had a kid. Where to live? Menlo, PA, Los Gatos, Cupertino, Los Altos. Moved to Los Gatos. Schools were the single driving factor in picking the area in which to look for housing. Without having a kid, downtown San Jose, Redwood City, East PA, etc would have been on the list. SF was never on the list for what it is worth. I like cites. Tokyo, NYC, London, etc. SF is not a really city as the side walk roll up at 10pm and in the past few years it looks more and more like a public toilet. If you step in shit on the sidewalk in SF, it likely not from a dog.
Although undoubtedly an excellent program, Loaves and fishes is projected to provides housing for 200 people at some point in the future. SF currently has somewhere between 8,000 and 10,000 homeless people living on the streets right now.

From that SF Chronicle article:

"A decade and roughly $1.5 billion later, the city has succeeded in moving 19,500 homeless people off its streets, roughly equivalent to relocating the entire Castro district. But despite that major effort, the homeless population hasn’t budged, showing that as one homeless person is helped, another takes his place."

I mean, that's just incredible. They relocated nearly 20,000 people off the streets.

What else are they supposed to do? You can't accuse them of not trying. They moved 100x more people off the streets than that Loaves and Fishes housing project is projected to do at some point in the future.

It's a tremendously difficult problem to actually solve within the constraints of the constitution, and human decency.

howd you find the idea
I'm not convinced that most people will want to move back to their hometown after being away for any non-trivial amount of time. I certainly wouldn't. My old high school friends are different people who I don't know anymore (save for a few who who I'm still close with, who coincidentally also don't live in our hometown and wouldn't move back). My friends are mostly people I've met in my new town, and I wouldn't want to leave them without good reason.

Sure, people who grew up in $COOL_PLACE but moved to $OTHER_PLACE for a job might want to (and be able to) move back to $COOL_PLACE now, but I don't think that generalizes to most of America.
Unfortunately for the world.
I've read that! This passage stood out to me at the time. If you asked me what people knew of the astronomy in the sixth century, I wouldn't have guessed this:

> The whole of this earth’s globe, as thou hast learnt from the demonstration of astronomy, compared with the expanse of heaven, is found no bigger than a point; that is to say, if measured by the vastness of heaven’s sphere, it is held to occupy absolutely no space at all.
True, I cant find any stats like that though. Searching https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/public-corruption/news for San Francisco 2020 does seem to yeild substantially more results than any other city I tried, though.
I live here, and love it. I'm from Colorado, and have lived in NYC, Sacramento and in the Denver area and traveled extensively. SF is my wife and Is favorite. The combination of culture, food, art, weather, natural beauty and outdoor space, dog friendly beaches, and robust employment market for me (I design medical devices) is unparalleled.

Name another major city where you can get amazing food, have a bonfire on the beach with your dog, and enjoy views of the ocean and bridges like you can here. Its really the most European of the US cities.

It is expensive. It is dirty and dingy in places. It does have a homelessness problem (what major city doesn't?). It is all these things and still one of the most desirable places to live in the US. It must have a lot to offer to outweigh all those cons - and does.
I think school quality is more a factor of the the families economic status than than of how much funding a school gets.

I bet if you took took the Cupertino school district families, and transplanted them into a much worse school district, and kept the same teachers, same staff, same buildings, same funding level of school, you would see the school district improve, even without the funding.

The issue is the families in poverty don't have the time and energy to care about school. Wealthy families, care about school. So even if the school is crappy, they will make sure their kids learn what they need to. In impoverished school districts, teachers can't concentrate on teaching, because they have to act as both teachers and social workers and advocates for their students.

So even if you increased the funding of schools, if you did not address the poverty in the surrounding community, it will mostly be a waste of money and political capital.

I've found docker hard to explain to people.

To me the beauty of it is that one text file describes a build environment and you can pass it around quite easily to reproduce it.

You can also tag it, sort of like a url or git branch and pass that around.

So what happens is - someone needs to use your code, you can tell them how to install it on a system - but you also give them a docker file that is a working environment. Then, it's not your problem.

They can look at the dockerfile and see what has been installed -- and also very important -- what is NOT installed.

Another thing is that it helps with incremental development. You can build your environment via the dockerfile layer by layer and if a layer is broken or unnecessary, you can remove it without having to rebuild all the layers before that.

In comparison, I've also used LXC containers and setting those up is more like installing a VM because there doesn't seem to be a dockerfile equivalent.

That said, docker is confusing as the article alludes to, because there's a company trying to build a business model around it.

What I'm talking about is:

apt-get install docker.io

But docker the company is forcing two versions - a community edition and an enterprise edition. I tried it on macos and it had tons of telemetry too.

They're also trying to control the namespace. For example, they don't let you have your own private registry, which is like a local dns server. It would break "the global namespace" and incidentally their business model.

Redhat is wise to them, and their version of docker has --add-registry. If I was an enterprise customer, I wouldn't want my containers going out to the internet to get up-to-date (sometimes inadvertently). It makes runtime docker containers more sketchy
