You just can’t move a whole company, lots of people have roots, family, kids have friends, school, etc I doubt more than 10% of people would just relocate on a dime. Studies show overall Americans are not willing to move where jobs are once they’ve settled.

Much is made of a tiny percentage of people leaving. The vast majority won’t and will be forced to see another job if he were to close the CA offices which will be massively disruptive.

I’m betting he won’t, that the CA offices won’t move, and the people who are writing the code that lands his rockets will remain.

It’s too much of a risk to replace those people and break up teams.
The real issue is that sometimes in life you need to have discipline and willpower, and people are very resistant to that idea. I would counter that the advice is helpful, it's just not what people want to hear because it requires more effort than they want to put in.
No, a doctor is going to have better information about the specifics for her situation and whether or not the risk of a reaction is worth the benefit of the vaccine.

Valid lawsuits

Most of the lawsuits Trumps lawyers and other supporters have produced are batshit and people are trying to get the lawyers sanctioned for frivolous lawsuits. These suits are failing in court, the only thing they're good for is as a justification for conspiracy theories
Add to that the "do as I say, no as I do" attitude from the state government which seems to revel in the opportunity offered by the SARS2 epidemic to exercise power over their constituents upon which those constituents go from demonstrating against capricious rules [1] to sheriffs blankly refusing to enforce those rules [2] and the question really becomes why those people who can move out of California don't move out of California.

This is (at present) a standard progression in the life cycle of a corporation in the US. There are vanishingly few corporations left who practice a business model designed to span more than about 30 years.

Most businesses today are founded, then the founders are bought out/merged, getting cash in the process.

Then the new owners change things to effectively profit on the business at the expense of longevity, which causes discontent in users and starts the slow downhill slide to the product's death. Then as the product becomes less relevant and loses market share cuts are made to preserve profitability and lower ongoing costs.

Once the business has extracted all the value from the product, they then drop the product entirely but retain the IP for it, preventing anyone else from resurrecting it, thus suppressing competition.

This genuinely surprises me. When I moved into enterprise 15 years ago, I was more inclined to use free things and piece everything together myself. This quickly overwhelmed me, and I learned the golden rule of enterprise--nothing without a support contract.
If your definition of "tech" is so narrow that it only includes web app companies then yeah, you're right.
Could you give a bit more detail? Like, why you think it's relevant?

Why do you think there needs to be a connection between all taxation and expenditure?

What do you think we should tax to pay for libraries for example? Reading? Makes no sense.
The only place I run into RHEL or CentOS is maintaining old PHP apps where the web host is running someone's control panel... Often times, it's like stepping into a time machine because it's pretty obvious that things haven't been updated in quite some time. I'm not sure that a 10 year promise of stability is one we want kept (security patches, etc...)

Interesting. I have an interest in slide rules and I've never heard of the Tyler Slide Rule before.
Confucius also has a similar remark:

"Studying* without thinking leads to incomprehension; thinking without studying leads to peril."

However, I'd like to offer a counter-argument here.

There different ways of reading. Some are passive. Some are active. Reading with a critical mind is anything but detrimental to creativity.

Notably, great authors are often voracious readers, and reading is what they all agreed to be the foundations of their craft. It didn't hinder their creativity. The reason is two-folds: 1) they read critically; 2) they wrote.

The true way to foster creativity, is to create. Unless one read so much that no time is left to do anything else, reading isn't the enemy of creating.

And a further note on vicariously living one's life. I don't really see what's wrong with that. A person gets one life only, and it may be a fortunate one, a challenging one, a boring one, or one that's an absolute dismay. Drudging through the day and fantasizing through the night is hardly the worst form of life, in my opinion.

* "Studying" here refers to the intake of information.

There's a nearby restaurant me and the wife love to order from for breakfast every other month cause its so good, but we stopped ordering from that location and pick a slightly further location because they upcharge on things in a ridiculous way. I'm talking a $20 difference if not more depending on if we're both trying to order the same thing, imagine overpaying by $40 to feed two people.
So because you don't like them you want the goverment to censor them?

To be fair, I truly thought MySQL was dead in the water when Oracle purchased them 12 years ago, but as far as I can tell MySQL continues to be well supported with new features being added. So I no longer know what to think about these kinds of acquisitions.

In this case the underperformer thinks they are an expert, that's one of the worst kinds of bosses to have. That's exactly the sort of person who will steer you to ruin.

General Kurt von Hammerstein warned of this almost 90 years ago:

I distinguish four types. There are clever, hardworking, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and hardworking; their place is the General Staff. The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage.
I've met quite a few people who moved out of South Africa to the US and UK, and the reason I was always given was something to do with the common advice being to not stop your car at night or at remote intersections lest you get carjacked or worse.

Is this a successful way to dodge taxes? If so, that loophole should be fixed. I left California 4 years ago and yet somehow still pay taxes to the state.

If you're saying that anyone who was professionally successful in California has no right to ever leave the state, that seems like a tough sell.
I know right? And you can forget about me buying a car from the country that bombed Pearl Harbor! I'm the sort of guy who holds multigenerational grudges you see. Who cares if all the men involved with that unpleasantness are long out of the picture? When I see a dope smoking hippie driving a Volkswagen Beetle I think to myself 'that car was designed by Hitler, that hippie must surely be a Nazi sympathizer!'
Aside: California is notorious for going after income that was "earned" in CA even if you no longer reside in the state. They'll still be collecting $$ from him for years to come.
Sorry, I didn't realize you reside deep, deep inside nonsense conspiracy land. How does your made-up world view explain the extra 2,500 deaths everyday in the US? 5G?
I think a lot of the vaccination plan relies on voluntary vaccination in the form of “business xyz voluntarily declares that all its employees must vaccinate unless they have medical reason not to.”

Hospitals are already informing doctors, nurses, and staff that they will be required to vaccinate as soon as a vaccine becomes available and airlines have already gone on the record saying they will require proof of vaccination to allow travel.

It’s not as voluntary as you think for a great segment of the population, it’s just that no one will go to jail for refusing.
>We pay same salary (based on SF) no matter where you live in the world

That's awesome - and thanks for the reply!
Cool that's not suspicious at all
No, state personal income taxes are based on personal income you earn in the state. If you work in multiple states, you file in multiple states.
I am shocked at how much better DD's financials are than every other food delivery service. Was pretty skeptical because of that, but their gross margin improvement is huge and their net loss is relatively controlled.

That is false. The request for emergency injunctive relief was also the request for certiorari. In denying the relief, they closed out the docket and denied certiorari in the process.

And yes, I did look through SCOTUS's docket to find any other docketed case referring to Kelly v PA.

Conclusion: Our study shows that all-cause mortality was largely unchanged during the epidemic as compared to the previous four years in Norway and Sweden, two countries which employed very different strategies against the epidemic. Excess mortality from Covid-19 may be less pronounced than previously perceived in Sweden, and mortality displacement might explain part of the observed findings. We hope that these findings can pave the way for a less polarized and more open-minded discussion about pros and cons with less compared with more drastic measures against the Covid-19 epidemic.
Sounds good, but unless there’s a developer and end-user product approaching the maturity of BlueHat or even Debian it doesn’t seem likely to happen.
Thanks, that means even more it still is a good choice for people who are more oriented towards the stable RHEL.

If you find this convincing I weep for the people who have to interact with you on the daily. The Texas suit is completely bananas and relies on ten pages of complete gibberish from a 75-year-old energy economist consultant. Please read the appendix of the suit.

I've never used the service. Probably not available where I live. Judging by the complaints here it looks like they could improve on some aspects of the operation. To add to that I've incredulous responses to their valuation. All I can say that what they have achieved is very impressive. Regardless of how it pans out from here.
I disagree.

With co-located boxes and drop shipped drive replacements the time between a FAULT and the resilver event can be multiple days. Even though the resilver will go faster with a mirror having one disk remaining on a mirror vdev compared to raidz2 (or higher) mirrors will increase risk of data loss irrespective of resilver times because of drop ship drive replacement time.

3TB resilver on my last mechanical drive failure took 6 hours 30 minutes. Plus an additional 3 days for the drive to arrive.

With mirror vdev setups you lose significantly more space as well. If you argue speed is worth it, then I would instead invest that money you saved going with a raidz2 with NVME cache and SLOG.

Users won't notice the resilver event at all with a significant amount of memory and NVME cache + nvme SLOG tuned with a high /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_dirty_data_max and larger than default /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_txg_timeout.
Climate change: Global 'elite' will need to slash high-carbon lifestyles
For one,they provide a major advantage to people who have enough money to be able to afford to go unpaid. And really, if a company can't or won't pay you even minimum wage (something like $500/week on the high end in the US), that should be a huge red flag.
Yeah, it's so easy to convince yourself that you knew all along that a company would succeed, which is one reason why it's helpful to keep actual notes.

It's also a great example of a company that was not popular on Demo Day. This kind of success is so hard to predict.
>The behavior may help the pandas tolerate cold temperatures because a compound in horse dung, the researchers propose in the paper published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, may short-circuit a cellular thermostat that makes pandas sensitive to chill.

Reminds me of the proverb "build muscles in the gym but reveal abs in the kitchen."
If walking doesn't elevate your heart rate (and you want it to), you simply need to walk faster. Walking at 4 MPH is a moderate intensity exercise for most people.
Yes, it has, to a degree. C.f. Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, etc. (These voices became much less prominent after their deplatforming.) There's also a deontological argument to be made for banning dangerous falsehoods on one's platform.
People only believe there is "something" because they've been lied to.
I'll link to what I said last night about the case: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25354086

There are 6 reasons for SCOTUS to dismiss it before it even considers the merits. Anyone who thinks the case has a chance does not understand SCOTUS.
Yeah that's good advice if you're in a dangerous part of town, but it does on occasion also happen in what are considered the safer suburbs.

I've faced this problem numerous times and there are two key parts:

1. Some people just have zero clue. They just don't have self awareness of a good set of internal metrics on how to perform. These are almost always people that had flags when we hired them but we were hiring fast for a role and brought them in.

2. As a manager I didn't give hard feedback early on. It is difficult, especially with people with potential to give that hard feedback (you're moving too slowly, this isn't up to snuff). I've had to do hard corrections later on that could have been solved if I had stepped up and spent the time early on to say hey this needs to be better and how.

Also, underinvesting in promising talent is a huge problem at startups. You often have first time managers or execs who are managing way too many people. So potential leaders don't get the mentorship they need. Given that attracting new, good talent can cost tens of thousands of $s in time and recruiting costs, it is a smart move to put money into leveling up and retaining people! Find them mentors outside the company (YC has a great community for this, as do other VC funds and industry groups), pay for coaching, or find a mentor in the company that has more time. It really pays off.
Texas has a lot of people living there, with lots of different skill sets.

I doubt it, but it _might_ help prevent radicalisation of newer people by making it harder to randomly encounter.
I would have thought that you could reasonably decouple concerns in order to fix it as well. Have every service expose a nice restful API, and then have one team responsible for the web interface but use those apis. Obviously, you need a way to require a reasonable performance out of the backing apis, but at least then you only have the one team to be concerned with how to build the front end and ensure that it works well.
The entire point of the safe harbor, the explicit purpose of section 230 of the CDA, is that a site exercises editorial control and moderation and still enjoys the safe harbor.
