Every time I've heard "X is the new Silicon Valley" or "Y is the Silicon Valley of/for Z" it's because they are trying to sell me something. Every time.
Silicon Valley is just Silicon Valley. It's its own thing. Just like Florence was Florence during the renaissance.

The fact that someone has to define itself as "just like Silicon Valley" tells me they are imitative rather than innovative. And at that point they already lost the game. Then they list the reasons for their claim. I've heard them all.

- Government funded innovation fund = no interest from the private sector

- Cheaper devs = they are bleeding talent through brain drain

- Better labor pool thanks to lax immigration policy = they are bleeding talent and consider engineering to be a commodity (they think they can replace top performers with lower performers. It's brick laying after all)

- Ties with Regional University = They are bleeding talent to the top X institutions

What I want to see is direct access to private investors, SV salaries, a top 5 worldwide university within walking distance, non-compete and access to a large mature unified consumer market. If some place can deliver that, then it will become its own thing.
Very interesting. A personal coach is certainly the most efficient way to improve.
My main concern is about the legality of such a software. Even if the data is presented on screen and available, changing the UI to help the player is not accepted in all games as it can provide a strong edge.

Congrats on the launch, a question on the technical side of things -- how much computational overhead does your desktop client incur on the host machine? If you're running CV algorithms locally, would that necessitate higher minimum system performance specs beyond those recommended by Riot/other game vendors to avoid impacting the performance of the game client itself?

>I wonder, why doesn't Canada simply... compete?

It's not that simple. The cities I mentioned are all in the US sunbelt, and Canada (and the northeast and northern midwest US) can't compete with the southern and western US's. The sunbelt has cheaper land, as well; Vancouver (the only part of Canada with competitive weather to the US sunbelt) is jammed into the Fraser Valley between the Pacific Ocean and the mountains. The prairie provinces have plenty of land (which is partly why Edmonton and Calgary are growing so quickly), but have terrible winters.

On the other hand, the weather and cheaper land don't wholly explain the competitive differential, either. It's not unusual for an American to move from New York or Boston to San Francisco, Dallas, Phoenix, or Miami, or a Canadian to move from Toronto or Montreal to any of those cities. It's also not unusual for someone to move from San Francisco, Dallas, Phoenix, or Miami to New York or Boston, despite the latter cities' colder winters. It is unusual for someone to move from NY, Boston, San Francisco, Dallas, Phoenix, Miami, etc. to move to Toronto or Montreal; I've calculated elsewhere (<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25367731>) that an average Canadian is 27 times more likely to move to the US than an average American is to move to Canada.

Another differential is cost of living. Why Canadians pay much more and have access to less despite living in a country that is 95% culturally, economically, and politically identical to the US, I do not know. I didn't fully understand the disparity until I read the amazing stories in a Reddit discussion. victorn72's account (<http://np.reddit.com/r/canada/comments/1ueai3/why_are_our_pr...>) caused my jaw to drop open. This is why every large US border town along the Canadian border has malls where, every day (in normal circumstances with the border fully open) you see hordes of Canadian shoppers in parking lots frantically opening sealed electronics and clothing to try to bypass import duties when returning home.

Calling 1 in 20 people 'upper middle class' doesn't seem that far of a stretch. More of a stretch to call 1 in 20 rich.
Like everything, class follows power law. So 0 to 90% is lower class, 90% to 95% is middle class, 95% to 99% is upper middle class, and 99% to 100% is upper class.

This might be an attempt at humor.
Non-evs also have classic co2 emissions in mining for their components, then much greater 'energy' related co2 costs. We should strive to reduce co2 and evs do that. evs are made of metal and other minerals of course, just like gas cars.
Despite the tagline from the whitepaper, it's always been clear to me that bitcoin was an Austrian-style sound money system and could not scale to be a network for small payments. I think bitcoin has remained consistent with the original vision and design.

i posted a similar message here a few days ago or so.

i don't (really?) use facebook, but all my other accounts seemed to have gotten hacked at the same time.

most of the services are either indifferent, or go out of their way to keep you out of your hijacked account.

they say, 'hey you been hackd, maybe/prob, and well if this was you, then...well if this was not you then....well in either case, we just wanted to let you know, i guess.'

:-D

really. i guess it is a nice courtesy of them to let you know that a digital you is now operating from Vietnam or Russia or Mars or whatever.

and it will prob help them access all your other accounts, obv your friend networks, help them social engineer their way into your work and bank accounts, etc.

fun stuff.
Misinformation is extremely hard to counter because it's hard to attribute information correctly. Conspiracy theorists may be flagged as state actors by mistake and then have their media countered publicly. This amplifies their message and validates their concern.

It does work. But the cost is your life.

My issue with the whole idea is that the wealth comes in the latter years of your existence. Decades of work have dulled your curiosity and desire to enjoy your wealth. You don't need much to exist and could survive off a more humble nest egg.

Wheelchair wealth is considerably less valuable than wealth when you are young.

> Do you have a plan for also handling accessibility if you go in this direction?

It is something I would certainly consider after meeting the most urgent objectives. There is no reason I couldn't consider offering alternative views for certain users which contain things like high-contrast or screen-reader enhancements.

The initial scope of this work would be for a privately-used B2B application. Accessibility in this context would be driven by our business customers' specific requirements.

That said, providing accessibility is more of a business/application problem than a UI framework problem in my opinion.

I think the model needs to go back to paying for updates/support. Would be great if this was a native behavior on mobile app stores as well (you can kinda do this with Bundles on iOS but it's still kinda hacky).

Haven't paid for this software in the past 365 days? Go to the community forum. You can pay 60% of the license charge for another year of updates and support.
> This worked well for nearly a decade but by 2013 the cracks were already showing. By then we had client apps for all platforms, with each one requiring their own separate purchase, often across multiple app stores. And paid upgrades to major new versions were so incredibly painful for everyone involved that we rarely had any.

I think they are being fairly transparent. Starting in 2013 there old business model stopped making sense. They were selling individual products for each platform, while trying to integrate all platforms at the same time. The natural solution was to move to a subscription model for a unified service. This provides a mutli-platform solution and generates a continuous stream of income.

As a consumer, I actually prefer this model for a security app since it means that it will continue to receive regular updates. There is lots of competition in the space of password managers so I am not worried about them increasing the cost of the service to more than a few dollars a month (if they did this I would just switch to another service).
I always find it amusing how the people who make arguments like these are also the ones who often and loudly decry generational wealth.

Same in the UK. Lazy corruption, any- and everywhere. I wish the US the best of luck of overcoming the Trump/Bannon post-truth legacy. I fear we're a long way behind.
Other countries are surely spreading misinformation online targeting American audiences. What should we do?
While I do think things defense spending matters I don't think it is what makes (or made) the difference. Look at countries like Germany, France or South Korea. Arguably they have some of the best education and industries in the world but they don't have an outsized number of new tech companies. That is because most of the time you aren't inventing technology (because that is too hard) but trying distribute or commercialize technology that mostly exists.

Silicon Valley is of course where many things in computing were invented but it is more importantly where business machines became home computers. And in the end that is were most of the graphics cards, operating systems, network switches, software applications and services comes from. Sweden didn't invent many computers or operating systems but it was ready to distribute the next thing once it became available. Just like many good synths and samplers came from Japan but many of the big electronic music artists are from the US, the UK or Sweden.
People act in their own interests, usually prioritizing the medium-term (eg. evaluating every few years/every decade) over the long-term. These products made by the big companies provide immense value that promises to make your life better tomorrow, so most people choose them.
I feel that what has helped me a lot with any sense of doubt about my capabilities is assisting and mentoring junior/mid-level developers; you really get a reality check on how much you've learned over the years.

I'm also not sure I agree that there are few good engineers. I think that's some rhetoric that we all say because we all think we're some of the few good ones.

In my experience (FAANG, startups in the valley and startups out of state/country), strong engineering talent is not particularly difficult to find, but finding a good fit is the tricky part. And I would wager that eagerness-to-rage-quit is a pretty good indicator of someone who will have trouble finding teams that they fit on.

The OP Medium post links to numerous sources. I would direct you to Blue Forest's white paper from 2017 that kicked off their founding. It's extremely well written and cited[0].

The coastal redwood forest still needs lots of ecological thinning.

Here are some articles and papers you might find interesting from non-profit and governmental organizations:

San Vicente Redwoods [1]

- SV Redwoods is a collaboration between The Nature Conservancy, Save the Redwoods League, Sempervirens Fund, Peninsula Open Space Trust, and The Land Trust of Santa Cruz County

- One goal is to accelerate the return of the forest to old-growth, increase fire resiliency, and improve biodiversity and habitat.

Mill Creek Restoration Project in Redwood NP and CA Redwood SPs [2]

- A collaboration between Save the Redwoods League, Smith River Alliance, and Redwood National and State Parks.

-Video link[3] showcasing the forest restoration segment (starts at 4m00s and runs until 6m20s; it continues into road removal and salmonid benefits if you’re interested).

Thinning Stands Boosts Wildlife Diversity [4]

- Conducted in Redwood NP and Del Norte Redwood SP and supported by Save the Redwoods League.

- Found that small mammals and birds increased dramatically within five years of areas that were thinned vs. unthinned areas.

- “At a minimum, thinning results in vegetative developmental and ecological trajectories that are several decades, if not substantially longer, ahead of stands that were not thinned,” Slauson said. “The overall result is that restoratively thinned stands have begun to develop the understory vegetative complexity and productivity to support small vertebrate communities that much more closely resemble old-growth stands than stands that have not been thinned.”

Old Redwood Forest Restoration: Quantifying Forest Characteristics and Development of Initial Restoration Treatments [5]

- Funded by Save the Redwoods League.

- How do you move toward old-growth characteristics most efficiently? “With judicious thinning,” said Joe McBride, University of California, Berkeley, Forestry Ecology Professor. “You can look at old-growth stands as representing a process of natural thinning that took hundreds of years. You have a few survivors per acre that are now the big trees—they’ve outcompeted adjacent trees over time.”

- The results showed that at the better-watered sites (both in Humboldt), large, medium, and small redwoods were all randomly distributed. At the drier site (Armstrong), small and medium trees were clumped and large trees were randomly distributed. “One has the idea based on the fairy rings you see in redwood stands that the big trees are all clumped,” McBride said. “We found that not to be the case.”

You also don't need the Mac app with 1Password. Their browser extensions can be used without it, and they're awesome.
I am cognizant of this risk, and assume it, because security is always a spectrum between Secure and Convenient. If I had to pull out my phone every time I wanted to use 2FA, I for sure would not be so liberal to turn it on for all the "low value" properties the way I do now

I have never even _heard_ of someone having their 1P master password compromised and the vault(s) exfiltrated (although I grant you it could be just because the NSA doesn't write blog posts about their pwn2own victories)

It's my recollection AgileBits is also running (that is: currently) a CTF with a publicly exposed vault, so folks can test the resilience against attack for themselves
Hi. I'm a feature developer for 1Password, and I want to clarify a few things. First of all, our decision to built the macOS app in Electron was absolutely not driven by VC money. For the past few years, we've been working on consolidating 1Password's business logic into a single Rust-powered core that could be shared across all our apps. This has many advantages: feature consistency across platforms, faster development cycles, and better security. When building the front-end for the desktop platforms that would take advantage of this new core, Electron suited us perfectly, since we could write our UI code once and make it consistent across Linux, Windows, and Mac. We actually did build a native Mac app initially alongside the cross-platform Electron app, but we eventually decided that having two separate versions of the macOS app (one in Electron, one in SwiftUI) would cause a lot of needless development churn and hassle for both customers and our support team.

I can understand your frustration about Electron, but I hope you find my explanation reasonable. Please stop spreading misinformation.

> if you're not consumed by the idea that you need to live in SF or NY to enjoy your life

And yet some people enjoy big cities more than they'd enjoy living in a small town and it is not a moral failing or a sign of stupidity or weakness.

Many people enjoy the multiculturalism found in cities, and many immigrants or minorities feel out of place in small towns while major cities offer them the opportunity to connect with people like themselves.

Obviously owning a big residence in a city will never be affordable but as a society we should ensure that people can affordably live where it makes sense for them.

That may be, but that also seems to be remarkably underenforced in any case.
