People leave California primarily because of housing prices, or because they are in industries which are leaving California because they're not longer growth companies (e.g. HP)

First of all, the data actually shows that while 90-100k people moved from CA to TX every year since 2019, about 40-50k moved from TX to CA, and the demographics of the TX->CA move is higher income, educated earners, and the move from CA->TX is far less Silicon Valley elite, and far more from the central valley, and tends to be blue collar.

Growth follows an S-curve, and in every major successful city in the world, be it NY, London, Seoul, Shanghai, or Tokyo, eventually you run into a slowdown, as cost of living increases.

A contraction in CA's population won't be bad, because CA is still brain draining the rest of the country and still receiving a higher chunk of investment funds compared to other states.

Reducing the burden of non-growth industries by sending them to TX along with blue collar workers, while taking the lions share of immigration of people with advanced degrees, as well as the lionshare of VC investment, seems like a good trade.

Honestly, Arizona is looking a lot better to me than Texas over the next decade. With 6 new state of the art semiconductor fabs under construction (2 TSMC, 2 Intel, 1 Samsung, 1 NXP) totalling $50 billion, another $100 billion in investment promised by TSMC, and the recently enacted $50 billion Senate semiconductor package, if you're looking for the next Silicon Valley, the Silicon Desert looks more like an early real estate opportunity than the Silicon Hills.

I don't think California has much to worry about, everything that makes the state great: It's natural environment, weather, colleges, parks, industry nexii, it's diverse culture, food, wine country, etc is still there. I know you desparately want to run with the conservative talking points on taxes and regulations, but CA's population growth issues have little to do with "high taxes" as many conservatives claim. Median CA household income is $57k, the State effective tax rate on that income is 3.7%, which puts CA in the middle of the pack when it comes to state tax burdens. CA only really takes a big bite of you if you make a lot of money, but as I've already explained, CA has net positive migration of high income earners, and net positive business migration/creation too.

But that's what the grandparent was complaining about though? If you're not using the provider's managed services, then nothing is stopping you from running your own ACME client to provision certificates without paying the cloud provider money for certs.
Linux is developer friendly but user experience is abysmal.

I’m a developer. I grew up with Linux.

I can’t wait for Apple to turn MacOS into iOS with extras.

Linus himself said that Chromebook (with a shell) looks appealing.

I just want iOS with a shell and file system running on fanless M1 without catching fire!
I think it would be reasonable to pay people extra if they live in an expensive place, and the company actually needs them to be in that place. Like maybe they have to be able to get on site at short notice, so they need to live right by the office, or the data center.

For new hires I suppose it's okay but to adjust the pay of an existing worker whose output remains the same afterwards because they relocated is a bit insulting to me. It's a pay cut, not a "COLA".
+1 for Authy. Just get a used cheap Android phone for like $30 and use it as the backup device for Authy and never fear about losing your 2FA device again.
Yep that's correct.
Because I want to use these things when I have no connectivity. And I don't always plan ahead for no connectivity.

Given where I live, my big one is ferries. When I get on the ferry, it's a nice time to see what's going on in the world, and what the weather will be like, and maybe check work email (before I retired), but I can't do any of those in an online only world because cell coverage is very spotty. For the small handful of apps that manage a data store on the device, I can use those and catch up on things and queue outgoing messages. I'd like to make some more things for me, but native Android development is beyond my patience, and PWA doesn't have the capabilities, and some horrible blend of the two is what's wrong with today's world :p

This comment is right - and the study began shortly after Ohio's peak of infections.

As such, most infected participants would have been recently infected in a situation with low and decreasing virus circulation. Nobody thinks there's any risk of reinfection at that point.
A big problem with hybrid is that you're forced to live in the same locality as the office, and most companies aren't subsidizing rent, but at the same time you need a decent office setup at home to be effective and that isn't cheap.

I moved apartments (from a studio to a 1-bedroom) at the start of COVID because it was basically impossible to work out of my bay area studio for a full day. I didn't even have a desk, because prior to COVID I basically only used it to sleep and rest, not work. I got a good rent price on the 1-bedroom because of COVID, but rental prices are going back up already.
I feel the same.

Middle management is not always useful, they mostly have the role of herding dogs, but if the work is not dumb and soul-crushing I don't think most people need to be herded.

Adding costs due to adding inefficiency in the supply chain is definitely a bad thing, since you could easily achieve the exact same outcome with a tax instead.
I think it is a case of popular politics but poor policy. It appears like Canada has decided that they do not want to be in resource extraction for environmental purposes, but in their bid to be socially responsible, they are for the most part ignoring the potential political and social fallout of such a policy. Sure, it will make oil and gas operations more untenable in Canada, but ultimately that probably wont matter much since other producers that already dictate the price through cartels will quickly fill demand to their own benefit.

Whether or not people want to think about it, Canada exports a lot of natural resources, and if they want to stop, which is fine, they better have a real plan for transitioning those industries, and have an idea of what they will do in lieu of a that huge chunk of their exports going away. Its really easy to say something like "just transition away from oil" but history has shown that it is very difficult to do, especially for a province beholden to federal policy.

These costs are massive but are largely being ignored, or just offloaded as only Alberta's problem. They are running the risk of hollowing out a huge portion of the economy without any real plan which has pretty severe consequences as seen in places like the rust belt, which will end up sowing the seeds of populist resentment amongst communities that will feel used and abandoned, especially in places that already feel largely ignored by federal politics like western Canada.

That's not what I mean. Take this example: Fanhouse is an app that sells a digital products created by end users and pays those creators for the content that end users subscribe to.

In terms of business relationship and product something like this can't exist on gaming platforms. Game platforms are strictly for publishers to sell their own gaming content.

iOS is a gateway to businesses selling both physical and digital wares of all types. By their good graces, they don't force physical items through their payment processor but they do for digital goods regardless of what that good is (with a few notable exceptions).

As well, my home has advantages - there's a dog here, patio access, etc. I think communication can be hard to do right, but I'm not sure if this resulted in more faults

I'd think the obvious rejoinder to that approach is, if they want to work remotely, they take the rough with the smooth. No, they are not going to be as plugged into casual office conversations. Their choice.

How Hard is your Email to Say? (2020)
Hope it's here to stay for everyone.

I've been remote most of my professional life. The only hang up was meetings where half team was in office other half was remote. It created an odd "legs in two boats / chasing two rabbits and catching none" vibe. Now with everyone Zooming together it's smooth sailing.

When the pandemic is over. Kids are full time in school. Restaurants, bars, stores, and life is normal... It will be even smoother.

I am concerned for real estate because those values could plummet in traditionally high cost of living areas which may put pressure on companies to bring employees back inhouse to keep land value high.
① actually there isn't an alternative, except for working for Argentines, who are desperately competing for the available jobs.

② electricity is fungible, but not portable or storable, and is almost all generated within 200km of its point of use (and well under 10 milliseconds). Also, the supply of electrical power is not fixed; it is rapidly expanding in response to demand. So one use of electricity does not imply less electrical power available even for other things in the same location. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27449443 has a much deeper dive on the issues.

Yeah that's how a scientist takes criticism.
The abstract actually contradicts itself.

not only that there is a comparison of vaccine generated Ab titre reacting with spike receptor domain

vs naturally generated Ab titre reacting with spike receptor domain, and with nucleocapsid features thus the naturall immunity is broader, and is long lasting based on opsonizing immunity.

There are two ways to look at this:

1. Apple has strong convictions about what it is entitled to proceeds from and what it is not. It is a coincidence that the things it believes it is not entitled to proceeds from are things that the powerful companies produce; things people would leave the platform for rather than live without, like Netflix.

2. Apple is throwing its weight when it can and acquiesce when it can's. That's why exceptions are carved for the likes of Amazon and Netflix without specifically naming them.

Apple's rules, as I have mentioned elsewhere [1], are too convoluted for the first explanation to make sense, at least to me. I fully understand if that explanation makes sense to other people, but I am convinced it is a matter of power.

>> This drives the cost up, making electrified options (that don’t emit carbon) more competitive sooner.

Interesting take on "competitive". I guess we could encourage renewables or capture externalities, but why do that when we can rig the entire system "for fairness"?
I'm grateful.
You have been, and will continue to be, coerced (as you put it) every day of your life. For good reason.
New hires and mentors too. Remote / virtual on boarding sucks. I’ve been on both ends this pandemic. No fun either way.
If I was the president I would explain how, without drastic changes, most species on earth will go extinct in the next 50 years and that humans could be one of them. Then I'd explain that we need to immediately change from fossil fuels. Then, only then, when negotiating with companies, governors, etc, we would get to the brass tacks of how, when, and what compromises could be need to make it happen.

But we're both nobodies on a public forum arguing, why, oh why, should one start from a compromised position?
Cathinones are amphetamines.
A close friend of my family nearly died of what we presume was Covid-19 in February of 2020. All the right symptoms, but nobody had enough tests at the time. By the time they gave her a Covid-19 test, she was negative for Covid, but severely ill from the damage to her lungs.

She presumed she couldn't get it again. She did in May of 2021. Less serious, but tested positive this time with mild symptoms.

Perhaps the first infection wasn't covid-19, but something very similar. My guess is that immunity after infection doesn't last as long as we might all like. Which is why we all need to get vaccinated as quickly as possible.
You forgot the part where the QA engineer ticks off the checklist and gives the bar a pass.

Actually at that point you are at the mercy of the local ISP.
Let me go even further. Why not get a 30% cut of every single credit card operation validated through that bank's iOS app? Why not get a 30% cut of every wire transfer done through that bank's iOS app? Why not get a 30% cut of every national tax declaration submitted through an iOS app?
Neither of these is physical.

I actually wish they would do this. It just would go to show the power we are bestowing on these "gatekeepers" while governments keep pushing more and more vital services as "apps".
Your payments go towards both interest and principal in a proportion that varies over the lifetime of the loan, such that your time frame is set by the terms of the loan. If you get a 30-year fixed rate mortgage, you pay it back in 30 years, regardless of the loan amount or interest rate. Look up "amortization table" if you're curious.

As others have said, Synergy's problems are not technical but management. The guy who runs Symless isn't terribly good at business, no offense to him. the product is chronically mismanaged. Multiplicity from StarDock is Windows only but manages everything Apple's product does, too. There are open source VNC apps that handle copy/paste and DnD, it shouldn't be hard to at least look at that code as a guide, but without a good developer, Symless is rudderless.
What the author excuses is clear. Their intent is something all together different.

For instance:

I say to a group of people, "I am really not trying to single anyone out here but half of the people in this room do x,y and z. Therefore we need to reprogram how people like that think."

Although I stated my "intent" I was actually excusing my actions ahead of time.
One thing that I've expressed to my company and coworkers is that I'd like to see full remote become more of a norm but I'd also love to see team building events remain as well. If there are a few times a year where everyone congregates in one location (probably at less expense than actually keeping an office set aside for them for the year mind you) and has a picnic or hackday that sounds awesome to me.

The pandemic made in person social interaction impossible (mostly, at least really difficult and uncomfortable) but that will pass. We can be full time remote but still occasionally grab a coffee with coworkers if that's convenient for folks. I'm a bit behind most of you (Canada is still mostly shut down thankfully) but I suspect that daily social interactions will start to increase rapidly as second doses start rolling out. Very few people actually want to be locked away at home all day, I think most folks just hate the idea of commuting and being a butt-in-chair again.

One or two market players decide user adoption is more important than actual
revenue, and start giving away product for free. Now the rest of the market

recognition to capital returns on equity, not profits.

I don't think this is incompatible with public health policy even if public health policy treats previously-infected people the same way as never-infected people.

Owing to the dramatic risk asymmetry between vaccine and disease, it's probably better to implement a policy that optimizes more for expediency, simplicity (fewer rules and fewer exceptions) and, in this case, minimizing the number of false assumptions made about the status of individuals. ie.: in the context of vaccination it's sometimes better to not assume that everyone who claims to have been previously infected was actually infected, even if we have lab data to back up this assumption.

I'm not saying current policies all make perfect sense or anything, but it doesn't particularly surprise me that everyone is being accounted for in the same way WRT the vaccine.
It's also a huge grant to older generations, which violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment, IMO. But I'm not a Supreme, so I dunno.

I, a consumer, chose to live in a place where I could get to work without a car (and not having to drive was an explicit part of my decision-making). Consumers make this kind of choice all the time. That not every consumer can choose not to drive doesn't mean the idea of trying to influence consumer behavior is unreasonable.
Can you go into more detail on what it means to be part of that community? I thought it was just a special interest group which didn't have strict membership requirements or contain very many maintainers.
I recently got an iPad, and I've been a bit disappointed by sidecar. First of all, it doesn't support the portrait orientation, which doesn't seem like it should be complicated.

Also it's a bit finicky. For instance if you are using sidecar and the system goes to sleep, waking the laptop will not wake the ipad, and if things are asleep to long you get an unclear error message and have to restart sidecar from a system menu a couple levels deep.

It's an awesome feature, and using an iPad as a second monitor makes for a really awesome lightweight setup for mobile working, but I wish they would invest a bit more in the UX. It's already 80% there, and most of the fixes required don't seem super complicated.
A bit of a snarky comment but I do agree that many tech companies have been sitting on their hands waiting to mimic what the FANG companies are going to do next.
Oil will move and oil will get purchased, so this is a net negative for the environment as the alternative means of transport emit more.
There is indeed alternative ways to get software on Apple mobile devices. Why is this such a common belief?

Edit: your point seems to be revolving around the access to physical disks for playstation/xbox, which is 1. Limited to devices that have a disk drive, 2. Limited to software that would similarly be sold on the sony/xbox stores, and 3. Still gives sony/microsoft a cut of the sale.

Edit 2: No, I'm not talking about webapps. You can sideload apps with a free developer account, similar to xbox.

Edit 3: Right, well I guess I'm being "purposely ignorant" and am actually talking about web apps. This was fun HN, lovely discussion.

Edit 4: It does indeed only require a free developer account, and you can strip and resign apps without needing to compile from source.
