> everything they can

Trump hasn't spoken a word of truth over twitter (or elsewhere) as far as I'm able to establish. Do you think he'd have his account still if he weren't president?

Also, look at the number of fact checkers Facebook and twitter employ. That is far cry from "doing everything they can".

American democracy is being undone by means of these social media platforms. In the past few weeks this the veneer has finally come off with "America is a republic, not a democracy". I can't believe how you could ignore the essential role social media play in all this.
Also:

24% VAT (sales tax)

18% employer payroll taxes

10% employee payroll taxes

20-30% typical income tax

Take your American disposable income and cut it in half.

Still worth it for 'free' education and 'free' healthcare?

Also a lot of cold and darkness.
At a time when mobs are trying to run busses of the road over political affiliation I'd say the line between hyperbole & advocacy is much easier to cross.

Given how divided the country is, we need an electoral process we can have faith in. Foreigners are shocked when they learn we have no voter ID laws in many states (including PA), and there are no auditable paper trails for ballots cast.

Any Democrat who opposes voter ID laws and other reasonable measure to ensure election integrity with canards about "voter suppression" is playing with fire at this point, and should seriously mull over the consequences of most Repubicans believing you stole this election, and will henceforth steal every other presidential election.

That only makes sense if the goal of college and education is pure learning but we all know it's not.

> That sounds awfully close to "books will ruin the world. If people stop memorizing their scriptures they'll stop believing" and complaints against progress.

Ok, so wow! No! Definitely not the message I was trying to convey. I love books, have many of them, don't read as much as I'd like, but would _certainly_ love to have more of them memorized! I'm always jealous of those folks who can recite poems from memory and the like.

> "I write by hand. Using a typewriter will take me away further away from the essence of 'writing'" etc...

Off (my) topic, but because you brought it up, writing by hand does increase memory retention! (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-learning-secret...)

> "Why would I email? Fax works fine for me and I get a hard copy" etc...

Well... I do have a very nice laser printer and tend to print whitepapers even though I have a really nice iPad to read them on.

So I guess all of the above could add up to me being a bit of a luddite, which I accept, but really I guess I was just expressing my way of retaining and improving my own knowledge of programming languages that I like. Hard copy reading, hand writing (which I don't actually do much of) and navigating scaladocs instead of tab-completion helps me do that.

As I also said, if my job depending on my coding output, I would absolutely use a full featured IDE of one sort or another.
Fair enough, my point was more about using k8s to deploy applications rather than “house server” stuff, where it’s indeed unneeded more often than not.

I've heard tales of persistent hacks from nation state type attackers by putting the malicious code onto certain chips like the various ROMs have, but this is the first time I've read this level of detail about someone's attempt that was not funded by a nation state. However, can these be delivered remotely without physical access to the hardware? My threat model is not one where I'm concerned about a physical attack, but because of INTERNET, I am curious about software only hack possibilities.
Ah yes, a healthier, better educated populace - the historic marker of a society in decline.
> meet a Finn and bring them back to the US with you

Can you elaborate on this part?
It is not like taxes disappear into a black hole never to be seen. Most of that money comes back to you in the form of services Americans would have to pay for anyway.

What matters is what the taxes give you. A lot of American taxes don’t give people much of anything. Maintaining the worlds largest prison population is expensive but what exactly does that give the Average American? Worlds largest military also sucks up tax dollars but don’t give any benefits back. Finnish taxes give you education, health care, child care, sick leave, vacation, job retraining, great public transport and many other thing directly improving your quality of life.
"Were I president I would use violence to political ends" is not a call for others to perform violence. It's a fantasy for the use of violence. These statements are not uncommon. It is normal and socially acceptable to wish for the death of sports teams, referees, your mother-in-law, billionaires, bankers, etc. etc. Here, take a look: https://twitter.com/search?q=%22kill%20billionaires%22&src=t...

Yeah, that sounds like a good trade to me. Having free education and free healthcare means I can take risks and join a start-up or get another degree, rather than worrying about losing my coverage and getting sick from my chronic illness. Also I love the sound of the language, and would like to learn it, and the cold never bothered me anyway.
> Tariffs on Chinese imports

If that works at all, it only works in disincentivizing manufacturing in China.

That doesn't bring manufacturing "back home", it only brings it to other countries similar or even lower in standards as China, are you gonna tariff those too?
I live in Helsinki. People here are generally happy to pay the taxes to get all the good stuff from the goverment. I would personally support higher tax levels.
Just as an aside, I don't know the stats for SF, but in Seattle the "invisible" homeless outnumbered the street-homeless 2:1. Street-homeless people tend to cause the most problems and put the most strain on the system, but there are a lot more people sleeping in cars, shelters, temporary housing, and couchsurfing, who are still homeless and need help.

I honestly think SF and Seattle need to be tougher on the street-homeless but IMO it's important to remember that there are a lot more homeless people than the obnoxious ones. Those are just the ones you notice, because they are obnoxious.
I was lucky enough to have a company funded stint in Helsinki some years ago. The tech culture is vibrant and interesting. Most everyone speaks English better than most in the US. It can also be a place where it's hard to make friends -- I still have a handful (former colleagues, etc) -- just cultural.

I'll consider applying again as it would give me a fun way to expose my girlfriend and her kid (she already chats with a friend's son) to a country and city I enjoy. They are also interested in more exposure to Europe.

Sourcehut is something you might want to look at. It's modular, so you use what you use, and ignore the rest.

The CI they offer makes no assumptions about where your repos might live (git is git. Who cares who the host is), and offers the stuff you might need like secrets, ssh keys, etc. The images they supply for testing actually seem more extensive than the other players.

And if you really want to self-host it... Go ahead. The whole of sourcehut is open source and reasonably well documented. You can host your own build server with minimal fuss.

Another I've run into:

If you meant to search in ∗, but somehow completely forgot to type the ∗ at the end of the command line, you might do something like

grep foo

and then wait for a while while grep searches your standard input, instead of files on disk, until you notice your mistake.

(I don't find this conceptually confusing -- I expect many Unix tools, including grep, to act on their standard input -- but I've still sometimes simply forgotten the * and not noticed right away.)

All that disposable income but no vacation time to spend it.
To those who say it will disincentivise companies from new companies being found in SF: Perhaps we are in a situation where CEOs expect to be paid 100 times more than the median pay but this should not be so. In what world is this uneven distribution fair? Legislation more frequently should be bold like this and aim to create a world that is better as opposed to being dictated by immediate side effects. Perhaps it will take a long time for this legislation to become nationwide and perhaps fewer startups will be created in SF, but someone should lead the way in trying to create a fairer world.

If companies wish to renumerate their CEOs more highly they should do so by also increasing the pay of the rest of their workers as this piece of legislation encourages. Sharing the benefits of good performance with the employees may have positive flow on effects as employees may feel rewarded for their positive work and consequently feel more motivated to continue working hard. Additionally it increases the sense of fairness and trust in the economic system and perhaps in society as well as more people that work hard reap the benefits of their work.

Overall this of legislation in my opinion is a good first step towards making employee owned businesses a more widely adopted model and creating a more equitable economic system.

EDIT: discouraging excessive payouts to CEOs, encourages directing that capital back into the company. Large corporate payouts do take away money that the company generated (not only the CEO) and I think this legislation recognises that CEOs also need to be held more accountable (in terms of renumeration) to the companies they lead as large renumeration is not always in the company's best interest (even when performing well)

You won’t be taxed by the Finns since you need to be there 181 days to be considered a tax resident. For those staying for about a year, the US has a FEIE exemption that kicks in for the first 105k or so anyway. No exception for California taxes, however.

> Bad plugins? Conflicting macros? I'm pretty sure that simply opening a 50 line TSX file does not normally crash vim.

These are not questions I've ever had to ask myself in the ~8 years I've been using IntelliJ IDEs for coding full-time.

Maybe it's easy to fix vim in this case, but it's really annoying to constantly have to Google your problem, find a fix, test out new configs, etc.

I left Linux after 20 years for the same reason. I'm happy to pay a small amount to have highly-paid software teams figure these things out for me.
There is, but when you consider that at least a small portion of Trump’s base and the people this Bannon ghoul appeal to are brazen and stupid enough to plan and prepare to kidnap a state’s governor you need to be pretty careful about what these ding-a-lings have access to as far as encouragement is concerned.

Remember the moron that shot up the pizza shop in NY because the internet said there was pedophile ring being coordinated out of the non-existent basement? We’re not really talking about “common discourse” at that point.

Speaking of which, does anyone know where I can download up-to-date precinct level data for GA, AZ and PA? One of the leading indicators of fraud during vote tallies in Russia (where 100% of the elections are falsified) is _rounding_ to the nearest 5%, and in some locations (such as Chechnya and Dagestan) to 99% at the polling place level for the "preferred" candidate or outcome. If you plot the histogram of percentages, this results in spikes at 5% intervals for the "preferred" candidate and troughs for the rest, in the same locations. Eliminating such peaks would require a lot of coordination, and nobody bothers with that since everyone knows what's up.

If such data can't be downloaded, that'd seem like a major oversight, which must be rectified through legislation. If such legislation is not taken up by Congress, that'd be pretty damning in itself.

> It’s difficult to empathize because it would make a mockery of the sacrifices that I had to make because I wanted something.

This is a really good and important point. I immigrated from one of the wealthiest countries in the world to the USA. Off course I made sacrifices while immigrating but those sacrifices were not nearly on the same scale as someone immigrating from a place of poverty. I can still visit my family regularly and they can visit me (even though they are of working class; if it were not for a global pandemic off course; for me it’s not that expensive even if it is a little expensive for them). If anything I should be trying harder to empathize with you.

In honesty me and my partner always had the option of moving to my place of origin, they could enjoy the free education we provide there and get a degree there instead. If I were not from a rich nation that would not be an option. In honesty we choice to live in a van. Sure we were underprivileged to the average San Franciscan, but as an immigrant I had it pretty good. And it wouldn’t have been the end of the world if we were forced to live in my country of origin.

We actually ended up moving there anyway. But it turns out that even though USA is officially pretty hostile towards immigrants, my country of origin is far more xenophobic then Americans are, so we ended up moving back (me being a white person probably has a lot to say about the acceptance though).

I know I didn’t really answer you in a meaningful way here. I really only said that your voice matters as much—if not more—as mine. After all I am a person of privilege by virtue of both my skin color and my place of origin (even though I’m born of working class). So to third party readers I guess I’m saying: Read the parent carefully, and understand their perspective. I might have a lot to say because of my experience of living in a van in San Francisco, but there are other people—like the parent—that also have a lot to say, and their perspective is just as valuable—if not more—then mine.
