You don't need to bribe people if you are on the run, and as long as you're not on the run for a fresh murder/rape case with your pictures spread all over the papers, law enforcement won't actively go out and fleece neighborhoods looking for you - they will turn up at your home, your work and any known relatives/associates though.

First thing is to get away at least one town or two, preferably a couple counties, from where people might recognize you. Use rail or a taxi, and shut down your phone.

Pay hotels, food, gas, anything in cash so it can't be used to track you down, get rid of your old phone/sim card/computer, don't use Facebook to contact family or "associates", don't do drugs or at least stay away from trouble (bar fights) and for heavens sake don't drive a beater car, use rail or bus instead (flights are monitored).

Even crossing borders is easy in many cases. Dress up as a hiker and go for it. If you're not in a narc smuggling area and have sea access, buy a small rubber boat (with cash) and use that to get out of the country.

When cash runs out: agriculture, anything in the hospitality area (hotels, motels, pubs, restaurants), cleaning and moving services, construction/teardown always have high demand for new able and willing staff, pay in cash and don't give a fuck about who you are as long as you show up on time and do your work without stealing stuff. If you're into sex work and it's legal where you are, it's a great way to make money.

You need a place to stay? Every area has some sort of ... shoddy district with cheap lodging, Craigslist or whatever can get you actual cheap rentals.

Other things to avoid? Mentioning you're on the run, bragging about whatever crime you did, stealing, getting into fights, driving a car (random traffic stops, "your tail light is broken"), breaking more than one law at a time.

You can get a fairly long run if you stick to the above, many years even without resorting to bribery. If you are in an area where bribery is the norm though - South America, Eastern Europe, Russia, Africa come to mind - then by all means go for it, might make your getaway a whole lot easier.
US states do that to some extent.

Alabama is a whole different ballgame than California, and people do (to some extent) tend to self-segregate into states that match their preferred lifestyle and political environment.

You're going from a 5s to a Pro Max? That's almost a jump across product categories... like switching from an iPhone to an iPad Mini.
>the act of “paying” the CEO in stocks is subject to taxation at the point in time the CEO receives it as part of their income

That is technically true, but this is where it gets tricky.

If you joined a public company (this will work with private too, if you weren't the founder, but let's not thing about it for the sake of simplicity for now) as the CEO, this will work out perfectly just like you described. You got all those shares at joining, you pay tax on their value at the time. As you get more shares, you get taxed on their value as soon as you receive them. If you decide to sell those shares, you don't get taxed on the initial value of them (since you already got taxed on it when you received the shares), only on the profits you made at the moment of sale (or you get your taxable income reduced due to losses, in case the share price went down between the moment you received the shares and the moment you sold them). So far so good.

If you started your own company, you initially hold the shares that are worth nothing, so you aren't really taxed on them. If you don't continue receiving new shares, but instead just hold onto the initial ones, you only get taxed on them when you sell them (since when you "received" them originally, they were worth nothing). Does Zucc receive more shares over time? I don't think so, he is just holding onto his original shares (while, no doubt, selling some and getting taxed on them), so this law will not affect him one bit unless he receives more shares.

Not trying to discredit your theory, your overall point is correct, I just wanted to add more nuance.

P.S. I am not an expert on this by any means, so if someone can correct me (especially on the "starting your own company" scenario), please do so. I find this a fascinating topic, and I try to answer as accurately as I can. But since I didn't experience that scenario myself, I can definitely be wrong or missing some details.
vscode has that, basically connects to a background neovim instance. I use the same vimrc (with minor tweaks for easymotion) for both neovim in cli and in vscode. Although at work I'm still using webstorm with the vim emulator
Just use egrep instead of grep. Much easier to remember / less surprising behavior, and it’s supported on every system out of the box (unlike rg).

> the tech firms are unlikely to leave, meanwhile SF can get more taxes from them (many of them were historically given tax breaks, like Twitter, to move into the mid-market area).

Twitter's highest paid executive looks like they make something in the $7M range (Dorsey's total comp is approximately zero for several years, as he is counting entirely on capital returns on his investment, not compensation from the firm); I'm doubting that their median SF pay is below ~$70K.

> What people disagree on, and what elections really come down to, is figuring out the best way to achieve the above objectives.

I think the disagreements are even narrower than that. The structure of the government is pretty much fixed, so are the vast vast majority laws/institutions/legislations/policies/etc. What people are voting on are minor modifications to the existing system.
I think all git has going for it is its existing inertia and GitHub. I think the foundations were a bigger deal when git was newer. Other DVCSes have decent foundations.

Going against git is an atrocious user interface (if it were good then [1] would be neither funny nor sad). Most people just memorise a few commands and if they stop working they transfer their changes elsewhere, delete the repo, and start again. Sometimes a team will have a “git expert” who has merely memorised a few more commands and is better able to get a repo out of a broken state. Git fails badly at an important for a developer tool: largely getting out of the way.

Voter Depression: How America’s Mental Health Crisis Hurts Democracy
I recently ended up setting up "classic" server again after a significant time keeping mostly containerized infrastructure on k8s.

Never again, the amount of things that are simply harder in comparison is staggering.
Zoning laws aren't laws of physics. People make those up to align with what works best for them. Prop 13 strongly incentivizes less housing (because it boosts voters asset values with no downside to homeowners) and more commercial (because cities now rely on sales taxes to stay functional).

Until the landowners start to feel some downside from the housing disaster don't expect anything to change.

Grandparent was talking about the adverse health effects on the people around who are not smokers, but forced to breathe toxic smoke from someone who doesn't care about anyone's health, including their own.

That's a very good reason in my book.
Unskilled day labor in the Bay Area easily charges $25/day with breaks and, if your GC is ethical, workers comp. I also think it's incorrect to characterize factory workers as unskilled. Labor intensive manufacturing in America usually involves qualities of dexterity, since those are hard to automate, which inherently have a skill component.

This is the same underlying theory as the “operational semantics” that is used by Google docs to merge out-of-order changes by simultaneous editors and resolve into a single consistent shared global state. So take that as a proof of principle that it works for more complex structured information.

Remote work wasn't as big of a thing when this was drafted, but it will be interesting to see how it plays out as SF-based tech workers relocate to lower cost of living parts of the country/world.

Some companies have already said that they will reduce pay of employees who relocate, which affect the way that the average pay vs CEO pay shakes out.
I absolutely love the historic example of taxes that Benjamin Franklin talks about in his biography: he says he went to all his neighbors' houses and asked if they wanted to chip in a nickel a week and have one of the neighborhood boys sweep the street for everyone's benefit every week. Most said yes and paid the fee. This is literally what tax is in the most simplistic form (let's pool our money to get something we couldn't otherwise have - military, roads, other infrastructure).

Unfortunately, now we live in a world where we just talk about taxation for the sake of putting money into the pot and have no real idea or influence over how that pot of money is spent. A government that can move towards this Benjamin Franklin kind of simplicity of taxes would make its country such a better place.

> a small city with an incredibly wealthy population can't figure out how to keep the tenderloin from being full of tents and open drug use?

The wealthy people avoid walking through the Tenderloin. They spend their time in the Battery and the Modernist. They have no incentive to fix the situation there. None. Zero.

This isn't Europe where wealthy people enjoy a stroll downtown, and have some incentive to want to keep their downtown nice. The wealthy people in SF just go to Napa and take their stroll in a vineyard over there instead.

> Or get some form of functioning public transit?

The wealthy people don't use public transit, they just drive everywhere or Uber everywhere. Again, they have zero incentive.

To be clear, I really want these issues to be fixed, just stating the facts of the situation.
Amount of work I have to do on k3s vs amount of work I have do on "classic" setup... well, k3s is greatly simpler. And I can throw out some problematic distro idiosyncracies.
Not really, the TDP is as the Anandtech article states, not the same as Peak Power for modern Intel and AMD CPUs.

The difference between TDP and Peak Power for AMD is around 35W, while for Intel it is up to 140W.

When choosing a PSU that difference can have a real impact on system stability.
I think this is a bad decision. The "in-the-wild" part is the interesting part because it is not the norm at all and it implies an interesting story.
This was in the middle of Covid, around the time many businesses and renters were leaving SF. They would not give me specifics, but I assume it no longer made financial sense to be in that expensive high-rise, as all the parking was locked down, forcing all the customers to take BART. I am not sure what affect this new law will have for those that remain.
And I was expecting sound version control for files
The average web page can be as nasty as it likes, but if I can deliver apps that _feel_ awesome and optionally can deliver metrics that provide a commercial basis for that awesomeness to whoever is paying me, I don't really care much about the average web page at all. Insert some truism here about using the incompetence of others to justify one's own slovenly behaviour, and some other truism about standing out from the crowd by applying common sense.

"I built an average web application and it attracted an average number of users, it more or less worked if you visited it from mobile" would look fucking awful on anyone's resume.

Government is a beast whose appetite is never satiated. Such is the consequence of Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy:

First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration.

Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc.

The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization.
Well, there is a reason for that. The vast majority of primary sources were written by members of a nobility who inherited their wealth, and the nobility viewed wealth that wasn't inherited as ill-gotten. There's also the fact that pre-modern societies didn't have modern economic theories to help them understand exactly what value the merchant class was providing to society.

I'm not necessarily siding with the nobility here. Simply pointing out that when our aristocratic sources write about the terrible upheaval that occurred when people outside the nobility acquired great wealth, we should be pretty skeptical.

I only skimmed this, but it seems like they're not measuring latency at all. They're measuring the time for each item in the queue to be worked on, and then summing all of those times, which is quadratic if latency increases linearly.

Now, I only skimmed this, but I do feel comfortable condemning it based on what I gleaned from skimming.
Reading it, think he's speaking conceptually. In practice it's more that PyCharm and WebStorm are both IDEA's base framework + language extensions. In the case of WebStorm you get IDEA + the HTML5/web dev extensions and in the case of PyCharm (commercial edition, anyway) you get IDEA + both the Python and the web dev extensions.

I believe RubyMine is the same, if not all of the other paid IDEs in the Toolbox. They all include WebStorm's functionality since you can build a web app in pretty much anything, at least on the back end.
"Businesses are already leaving SF"

San Francisco has been a global epicenter of new business creation in the past couple decades. Some of the most massive corporations on the planet have come to and expanded in SF in that time. Office rents have skyrocketed as a result, as has new office construction.

You're entitled to your own opinion, but don't lie.
Luckily a San Franciscan figured it all out over one hundred years ago so we don't have to wonder about this:

> THE GREAT PROBLEM IS SOLVED. We are able to explain social phenomena that have appalled philanthropists and perplexed statesmen all over the civilized world. We have found the reason why wages constantly tend to a minimum, giving but a bare living, despite increase in productive power:

> As productive power increases, rent tends to increase even more — constantly forcing down wages.

> Advancing civilization tends to increase the power of human labor to satisfy human desires. We should be able to eliminate poverty. But workers cannot reap these benefits because they are intercepted. Land is necessary to labor. When it has been reduced to private ownership, the increased productivity of labor only increases rent. Thus, all the advantages of progress go to those who own land. Wages do not increase — wages cannot increase. The more labor produces, the more it must pay for the opportunity to make anything at all.

A land value tax fixes our problems but Californians went and voted in Prop 13 which is about as far from that as you can get. http://www.henrygeorge.org/pchp23.htm
If there is no market, either because it is pre-IPO or unvested then the value is unrealized, and therefore not a form of compensation, so no. You don't own equity that haven't vested. They are just a contract between you and the employer to transfer them to you upon vest, which either party can probably walk back on if they choose to.
Sorry to sound pedantic, but what was harder? Containerized infra or a classic server? I assume the former but wanted to be sure.
Ah yes, men and women who look at human needs and decide to serve them in exchange for compensation on the basis of voluntary exchange are just like insects that being multitudes into destitution and misery.

Both of the countries would laugh at the idea of voting without id, and getting id costs in Europe too and takes done time to get it done. I truly believe most of the Europeans would side with Republicans if they heard all the facts.
No... this is exclusively Trump and his supporters trying desperately to de-legitimize the election by accusing Democrats of fraud despite no evidence of it - a tactic that's been in their playbook since Trump accused them of trying to "rig the election" in 2016. They've done everything from threaten to sue to showing up with armed mobs and harassing vote counters to spreading conspiracy theories about black sharpies[0] and Democrats burning Trump ballots[1] to now calling on state legislatures to override the election through faithless electors[2]. This after all of the vote suppression efforts they've been undertaking prior to the election[3], implicating massive Democratic voter fraud and condemning mail-in ballots (I wonder why so many of them seem to be for Biden...), implicating Biden as a pedophile, the whole thing with his son's laptop, and of course the states doing their typical voter suppression regime.

This is not a societal issue, people in general have not lost trust in the system. This election has seen more engagement than any election in recent history. One political party has been trying to undermine the system and sow mistrust within its own ranks in order to maintain political power.

TypeScript – Engineering Manager’s Perspective
I can agree that the idea of reaching for Kubernetes to set up a bunch of services on a home server sounds a bit absurd.

"How did we get here?"

I'm not an inexperienced codemonkey by any means of the term, but I am a shitty Sysadmin. And despite being a Linux user from early teens, I'm not a greybeard.

As sorry a state as it may sound, I have more faith in my ability to reliably run and maintain a dozen containers in k8s than a dozen standard, manually installed apps + processes managed by systemd.

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing you can likely find solid arguments both ways for.
Well, elections in Poland go smoothly and there is little doubt they are fair. Votes are counted the same night (most of them) by the committees in all voting locations and sent upstream then. Even the opposition doesn't dispute the fairness of the election much.
BTW, you need an ID to vote and you're responsible to update your official address or you won't be able to vote. The idea that you can do election without ID and with shady registration process sounds like someone trying to steal it to everyone here and I guess most of Europe.

That we elect authoritarian national socialists and that division of power is a myth here due to our half-assed constitution is another matter. We are just pretty backwards as a society. PiS and their ideas are very popular here sadly.
It is very hard to split in more than a few ballots, i.e. an amount that will change the result.

In Denmark you don't know what the ballots look like before election day, so you can't produce them in advance, and they aren't printed on printerpaper but is larger and the paper has a distinct texture/feeling.
Very nice post indeed, even though I chose years ago to stop at just running Debian stable, for personal stuff.

Someone, maybe 10 years ago, said that at scale, one should treat servers like cattle not pets. At home, I feel it’s OK to treat your server as a pet. One self hosted server that does it all is not a 2020 anomaly, it’s just boring and effective :)

I have spent a small part of my imposed 2020 free time simplifying my family digital cattle to a cow self hosted digital pets. I liberated myself both from gear and services I was maintaining for affective value or some professional distorsion; the openbsd systems I love but don’t use enough, the apple rmbp I never use, the VPSes for my personal services, ... donated, sold, resigned. It feels great.
It was very model specific. 5950Xs and 5900Xs were gone within a few seconds, 5800Xs were up for a few minutes, and 5600Xs were available for almost an hour in some cases.

This aligns with reports of retailer inventory, where availability of high end models was extremely limited, but there were many more of the mid-tier models.
As these moments will be, some day. :)
