> fact that the grandparents spend a higher portion of their proceeds on education

$0 has been spent on education so far. $2m has been put into an investment account whose realized gains are tax free. You can bet people withdraw with the 10% penalty all the time to spend that money on whatever they want, not college.

The state also runs its own investment accounts, like this individual does, and spends it on many totally worthy concerns, like paying pensions that are used by beneficiaries to pay for housing, food and indeed, sometimes education, so maybe that's the more appropriate comparison.

> they could just as easily gifted their grandkids that much money, tax free (federally, at least)

I don't think that's true, and your information appears to be the result of doing Google searches on SEO'd tax and accounting law partnership pages.

It seems like there a lot of misunderstandings anyway about how this stuff works. Can they reduce the taxes they would otherwise pay on the lotto income? Of course, creating 14 529 plans (as opposed to say, 1, or 0) is an important part of that strategy. Then there are so called experts working in finance chiming in, which if I could point to anyone being a complete waste of money for baby boomers in the last 20 years, it’s CFAs collecting 1.0-1.5% AUM every year on top of mutual fund fees that all underperformed low cost indices. The kind of assholes who, in the absence of any normative measure, have finally settled on justifying their high fees as “not answering the phone when you want to panic sell.”

It’s infuriating, honestly, the lack of any sophistication whatsoever and the trust put into total leeches like CFAs. And here we are, getting lost in the tax details, from people who would balk at paying a retainer for an ongoing professional opinion instead of a management fee - when those opinions could save them literally millions over the lifetime of a windfall like this - and wind up on SEO’d advice pages googling stuff themselves instead.

A bunch of temporary embarrassed billionaires Googling, shitting on how the state spends money, voting in tax cuts for people much richer than them. I don’t have expertise either, I’m not a lawyer or an accountant ,but consider paying one the pathetically small fee it would cost to get an answer to these questions that make sense for you and your situation.
Show HN: Organized, a GitHub repo for police misconduct records
Hi HN - Ian and Anuj here.

Organized is a public repo that provides resources about requesting public records from police departments and ensures that records that are requested and received are made available and permanent

We want to make it simple for anyone to request records from their local or state department by consolidating information about the relevant Freedom of Information laws and drafting templates for record request submissions.

Additionally, records that are received from police departments can be shared publicly and categorized in the repo, allowing for other citizens, investigative journalists, or nonprofit organizations to search for and use the data for their own analysis and activism.

Previously, we started organizeapp.org, a site to collect police misconduct information from first hand experiences. Based on our learnings with that project, and inspired by this excellent repo focused on the 2020 George Floyd protests (https://github.com/2020PB/police-brutality), we are starting this project anew.

For ways to get involved, or for more information, check out the repo!

Cheers to a brighter future.
I am with you on not wanting or needing to see /s ... but on a tutorial, where people actually struggle to understand anything at first read, using unmarked irony is maybe not the most helpful for them.

Oh and a second thought on /s. For some time I only got my news through satire sites like the onion.
And after I switched back to "real news" sites, I could not believe it was not satire. I mean come on, the world and the internet was always full of dumb people, but when even very high ranking people and institution say really out of the world things in all seriousness - I came to the conclusion, marking irony as irony is sadly sometimes important, in those interesting times we live ...
An influx of coastal refugees has driven real estate up and out of reach of many locals where I'm from. Those are the types of places that are "full", even with loads of building.
I agree, mostly. The bottom is still decently high even in Midwest cities. But if you’re making $140,000 + RSU/Bonus/Etc., someone from somewhere else will do that job remotely for $100,000 easy.

But I would characterize this as a wealth distribution, and overall net positive for the country. People who don’t have the opportunities to work at the top companies in the Bay Area or NYC or Boston now have better access. And the wages flow to those different areas.
That's a very rational take: all you need do is step in a puddle of human feces in Austin to understand why. Wasn't there even 5 years ago, until the Californians brought their unique brand of urban development there.

The flyover states may need more people: nobody needs Bay Area people bringing their "enlightened" ways with them. Tech literate, rich or not. You guys made your paradise - live in it.
Dutch people generally have pretty much perfect english. Scandinavia too. Urban Germany too. I think the only resistance to speaking english would be from the French. That said, it's only polite to try to learn and speak the local language.
It's very impressive and I don't know why having software optimized to the hardware is a demerit point. That /is/ part of the impressive part. The CPU and Rosetta2 are obviously designed to complement each other and the results speak for themselves on day one.

The fact that little more than a recompile is needed to make native binaries (obviously lots of exceptions to that) is also impressive and a testament to the work done until now on iOS/iPhone/iPad ecosystem. Of course, some minor complaints that old 32-bit apps don't work, even on intel systems.

Meanwhile we're on year 8 of false starts for Windows on ARM. In contrast to apple, a 10 year old 32-bit x86 app might work, but a recent app probably won't.
That's Chrome, not meet.

As for bringing in unrelated stuff, no that was still within the context of Microsoft's meeting software. It was someone else that brought in the OS.

It's more likely that the future Mac Pro will use Lifuka which everyone in this thread is ignoring.
That was impressively quick.

Looking forward to Github/Gitlab repository rooms and activity integration.

In the acquisition announcement they also mentioned threading though, which is the most important feature Element is missing for me.

Without it I'm very hesitant to use it in a professional setting.

I do hope that threads will look much more like Zulip rather than Slack (which is a mess), or offer different view modes. Zulips nested channel concept is a game changer.

After 2-3 million you don't really "need" money for anything yourself.

You take them for family, because you can, to not let it go away, because you want the power that comes with it, and for extravagance. But not for "need".
Maybe, but I see speed as a proxy for ability. If all I know about someone is they can write code fast then I would bet on them being an above average programmer.
A future Mac Pro should support 1-2 TB of RAM which isn't really possible with GDDR.
Dunno, sounds like something a Shiriff would do. But seriously, yes, that's despicable, that and the "jewellery law" and others like it. When I say it takes courage to orient ourselves toward the world, I didn't just mean it as a pat on our own backs, I meant it as a struggle of opposing worldviews that I've seen playing out my whole life; between those who see the outside world mostly as a danger to be held at bay, and those who see both opportunity and responsibility to care for those less fortunate than us.
Well, this entire premise is that remote work would make that more possible (I personally don't believe this though).

That said, the people I know that left aren't planning to find new work (for the most part). CO does have a lot of FAANG options though and Slack was also there.

They're not looking for the most interesting work at that point, they're looking to keep their job and raise a family - it's a tradeoff.

Isn't that a risk to move to a place without as many employment options? Yes. The reason for that risk is you can raise kids in a nice house for $500k rather than in a tiny, old, 2 bedroom apartment for 1.5M.
Hi Brutus,

thanks for pointing out the 404, it should be fixed now.

The city track for the MOOC is currently bundled with the Duckiebot in the MOOC starter kit (https://get.duckietown.com/collections/starter-kits/products...). You'll need both to follow along in the course.
local govts did a few things to enable this. They created a welcoming business environment that allowed for rapid expansion. For example, Stanford Research Park was a joint venture of Stanford, and Palo Alto. I am not sure there is any good writeup on the contribution of local governments to silicon valley.
Can you explain a bit more on "threading" and its relation to a chat service? And why Zulip's implementation is better?
No one disputes that those events you cite happened. However, those events were essentially random, not caused by local efforts to stimulate industry. Because of them, the area was blessed/cursed with an excess of productivity that it didn't know how to cause.

Now it's just coasting downhill, unable to maintain the altitude that it once had because it never knew how to (was never possible to?) build that altitude without a big dose of random luck.

But you are correct. The idea of functional css libraries is to go back to putting presentational information in the html. And the justification is that it is a better approach when you are building a webapp with a component library.
Gaming on Linux has been so fucking good. I switched from Windows to Linux a month ago and literally haven’t found a game I can’t play. Even Red Dead Redemption 2, Hades, Fallen Jedi, Ghostrunner...

Oh the really icing on the cake is just how easy it all is. You literally just install the Windows version and things “just work.” Its amazing.

I’ve said this a lot of times now but it’s pretty amazing to write code and play games on the same machine. Truly, I don’t think I’ll ever have a bare metal install of Windows again. I don’t even have a VM with it right now even.
I moved to SoCal from New England, and I miss the weather there so much! I don't hate 70s and sunny, but I genuinely miss thunderstorms, clouds giving way to downpours, the quiet after fresh snowfall, the shock of stepping outside on a winter's day, the glee and madness of watching hail suddenly fall on a spring day.

Comparing that to not being able to work outside because the state is on fire and the air quality has been before recommended levels for a week is not my favorite tradeoff.
Rust advocates remind me of Apple and Firefox fanbois. They are like the snake oil salesmen.

If I could, I'd leave tomorrow, but, besides tech, there is another unique aspect of Bay Area: the Biotech scene.

My wife works in Biotech and the only other alternative for us would be the Boston area. But, after running some numbers pro/cons, the Bay Area wins.

So we are stuck here ... for now.
That, I agree with. San Francisco should have built more housing to accommodate the growth. Though if people are leaving already, I can also see why developers might have been reluctant to bet too big on new construction.

One important point missed:

- Top performers tend to be motivated.

- Just because someone is a "top performer" in one project/team/company doesn't mean this person will be one in another project/team/company. Reasons can be manifold, motivation can play a big role between someone being a good and someone being a top performer.

> But you would save money by not connecting the house to a gas line.

For a new construction, maybe, but the plumber is already onsite to do the water pipes, so it's not much more to add in a few gas pipes. For an existing house, it's already there. It takes over 100 years to turn over the housing stock, so you'd need to maintain the gas infrastructure for quite some time before you'd start saving any money.

> Then there's the gas consumption, but I don't know how that compares to electricity

Here in the Bay Area gas is a lot cheaper than electricity. But that's because our utility is a crappy monopoly. In cities with their own power generation, like Santa Clara, they're on par with each other.
> It seems like this is an area where IoT should really deliver the goods. I should be able to cheaply add networked sensors

I think you're going the wrong way. These problems were caused by trying to artificially exert control over a complex environment. Similar to trying to "manage" a natural environment, each effort results in 2 more side-effects which each then need their own "management". On the other hand, some modern "management" techniques are to simply re-introduce nature to an environment and letting it self-manage. This ends up with better ecological health as well as less cost and complexity. But we have to let go of whatever weird human-specific desire caused us to mismanage it the first time.

Why do we need carbon monoxide monitors? Because carbon monoxide builds up, because gas-powered devices and heat exchangers live inside the sealed home. Put them outside the home and the problem is solved, no technological solutions necessary.

A properly designed home can also avoid things like vapor barriers, reduce dependence on air conditioning and heating, avoid mold and mildew, and require less maintenance. But if we insist on working within existing home designs, there's a constant requirement for new fixes for the new problems we introduce.

That's a counterfactual. Yeah, maybe Shockley's project happened elsewhere it Silicon Elsewhere could have happened somewhere else. But it didn't happen elsewhere. But you are assuming that it would have catalyzed elsewhere. For example, it could have catalyzed in Murray Hill, New Jersey after the transistor but it didn't.

Anyways, people are always leaving the Bay Area. If you came here five years ago, first you were new here and second, you've known people who have left.

So Keith Rabois left for Miami. Great for him. The question is whether the next Keith Rabois will spring forth from Miami. Unlikely.
I can only speak from using GitHub (which I'm not overall very happy with anyway), but PRs on my team can recommend review either "by file" or "by commit", with a very strong preference for the latter.

"By file" means that the reviewer should look at the diff between the branch base and tip, ignoring the intermediate changes along the way. If the individual commits really don't matter, "by file" suggests that we ought to squash this branch into a single commit; and if they do matter, something prevented us from providing a proper, clean narrative. "By file" is a smell.

"By commit" is what the article assumes. Rather than look at the sum total of changes, you look at what each commit individually changed.

In GitHub, "by file" corresponds to reviewing by the "Files changed" tab, while "by commit" corresponds to reviewing by the "Commits" tab (and going through each commit in order).

At the command-line, "by file" corresponds to `git diff develop..feature`, and "by commit" corresponds to `git show --reverse develop..feature` (which shows all selected commits in order from least to most recent).

> Given that I don't control the tools used, how do I ensure that functional changes aren't lost amidst formatting changes?

Given the above, you can and should isolate those kinds of changes into separate commits, so that the functional changes are the only visible changes in their respective commits.

The cost of homeownership is a huge factor for me.

When I started working in 2014, I figured I would need to save around $150k for a down payment because the median home price in Santa Clara county was around $800k. Now the median price is around $1.4M [1], so I'd need around $250k.

The growth in home prices has roughly matched my ability to save for a home, so almost seven years later I'm not any closer than I was in 2014.

I feel like my options are (A) live in an apartment forever, (B) hellish commute, or (C) leave. With starting a family on the horizon, Option C looks better every day.

>> wealth distribution

At the moment that may be true but increasing the pool of potential labor rarely results in wealth distribution. I think companies will pay less. That money won't go to other hires as tech companies limit hiring for other reasons than money. The money will go to bottom lines, to stockholders: the opposite of wealth distribution.
Maybe, which is why I said 'default'. But the lack of good practices or protections means even that the most earnestly run one is extremely risky and likely to ultimately yield fraud like returns to their investors due to honest errors.

Moreover, there is a huge lemon market problem: If if an issuer is in the the (say) 1% of honest efforts they are in constant competition with fraud, under pressure to make misleading fraud-like promises and offer fraud-like returns-- prudent parties realize this and exit knowing that they have better options. So investors are left with the honest participants that were too clueless to realize this or not attractive enough to have other alternatives.
