Years ago when I used to do anything like the 45 degree ab crunch machine thing, my spine would crack on every contraction. I was aware eventually this could probably cause some serious problems, but this type of exercise is also really good for the abs and entire core since it is a sort of modified active plank.

I actually resolved it using dead hangs. Nobody told me to do that, but it seemed clear to me that things weren't aligned properly, and this was an obvious way to balance the strength on both sides so the spine stays straight when doing those kinds of contractions.

Gravity is your friend. It worked. I haven't had that problem since.

About 20 feet in front of it. The gasses get pulled into the fan along with the mosquitoes. It works without carbonated drinks too, just slower. And that only helps if there is a swarm of them i.e. near a standing body of water. In standing water you can also use "mosquito donuts" that release a bacterium which is toxic to all species of mosquito larvae. A common brand is called "Mosquito Dunks"
I think California uses an "allocation ratio" to determine how much he will owe when he exercises those options [1], so he's not getting away tax-free.

This is a major difference. In Bay Area, your prop taxes are based on time of purchase. That is game changing. Much better even to rent it then to sell it, if you are paying taxes on a cost from 20 years ago you are golden. Development is hard in the bay area too.
There were literally rolling blackouts in CA last summer and the state came dangerously close again this summer.

Edit: Not sure why everyone is assuming I'm saying Texas is somehow better. I'm well aware of the power grid problems there as well. The question was "in comparison to what" and setting aside CA and TX, at last count there are 48 whole other states in the nation.
California politics are equally or more invasive, just in different directions. Pick your poison.

Austin has crazy property taxes in comparison to CA, which is where they get you.

2.5% tax rate evaluated for the property prices annually, so retiring on a fixed income in Austin is a tiny bit harder than in CA (that's the real goal of Prop 13).

Income taxes are easier to think about, because it goes to zero when your income drops, but property taxes based on the unrealized value of the house is completely out of your control.

The homestead exemption does apply, but Prop 13 is by far the superior option for an owner, though what Austin does is better for the government's fiscal policy.
i did not know there was only one high income employee at Tesla.
He will pay gains on where the stock vested. So CA in this case.
You can be certain that they ran many, many experiments to find out how much more money they'd make.

What they can't predict is how the universe of advertisers will adjust their strategies, as you said. Even less predictable is how the competitors will react.
The total tax burden in Texas is 8.19% vs. California at 9.48%.

The reason we pay close to 50% in California is that people are paid much much much more here. This is a problem you want to have.

If the Chinese were really so hot-headed to start a nuclear war because they were annoyed by an American submarine doing typical submarine things (an SSN no less, with no nuclear weapons of its own..), then there is no telling what other petty incident might also set them off. But I don't think they're so sensitive as that.
Yeah, and median house price next to the great schools is 2mil. Or it is fairly far from big tech hubs.

Since the edit timer has passed, I didn't intend to imply that cooking is only ever a menial activity.

The word came to mind thinking about coming home from a rough day at work and needing to put something, anything together to eat when you'd rather be doing literally anything else.

I'm not talking about a planned meal where some actual planning and effort went into a meal that the cook is hoping you'll enjoy, I'm talking about the results of "i'm tired and hungry and I need to make something and I'm hating the entire process" kind of meals.

The kind of cooking where you mechanically put something together without much thought because you're at the end of your rope for the day.

Obviously such a concept expands well beyond "cooking". Replace that with car maintenance, lawn care, programming, writing, etc. People enjoy different things, and would prefer to replace those activities they don't enjoy with something else.

Being able to is privilege, but I (personally) draw a hard line at calling that laziness.
Likely some very accidental network misconfigurion, we apologize for the inconvenience?
100% predictable. They'll eventually move factories there as well, at least the ones where there are a lot of employees. CA is downright abusive to businesses. Only the highest margin Silicon Valley style businesses (which Tesla isn't) can survive in such a hostile regime, and only out of necessity - because that's where talent happens to live. As talent distributes more and more and companies move out, CA will run out of other people's money. Happens every time. That's why they're planning a wealth tax which you'll continue to pay for 10 years after you move out.
The exodus has been soundly proven to be a myth. [1] But assuming it isn't, there aren't many better places to go. Texas is a joke. Traffic is worse than LA in the major cities and it is run by Christian zealots. Yeah maybe you pay fewer taxes but the other quality-of-life tradeoffs aren't worth it.

I work in tech, despite California being the center of that industry, I've resisted relocating to there every time. I don't much care for it. Tastes vary. If the housing market wasn't so fucked it might be a different story.
Sound only. Submarine navies go to great lengths to collect sound samples of potential opponents.
I don’t blame him for misinterpreting it though, Gallup basically made a trick question and then write an article about how stupid Americans were for getting it wrong.
Texas lost its energy during freezing winter, let’s not forget, and came very close to it being the case for months.
Texas also has rolling blackouts (and less grid resiliency) and have people already forgotten the catastrophe last winter?
I don't entirely understand this; could you provide a concrete example, or actual trades, that could be involved in such a position? (I'm just curious how it would actually look like in practice.)
Doing anything else is foolish.
I concur. If you can’t get a house though and have to live in crappy apartments California can suck.

You know the beauty of not actually selling? That’s ok if you don’t believe or care or whatever.

The only reason I even bother is I guess a version of the whole ‘what if you could go back in time and tell yourself something when you were a kid’.

I honestly had no clue of what was even possible, or what it even meant to be congruent with ones values, and it took a lot of pain, mistakes, and learning to figure it out.

Enjoy, and I wish you luck with your adventures.
Happy injuries were just 11 people. If a submarine is submerged, it's kind of like a weird building without windows, even though it may be traveling at a pretty significant speed. If you imagine being in your own office and then suddenly getting thrown sideways, forward, or up/down, it's easy to imagine getting hurt.
It's an interesting loop hole. That can actually be solved with a smart contract that wouldn't allow you to sell below the purchase price, or at least not that far below it.

Anything can be programmed in a smart contract, and they're transparent, so if the royalty rules are not acceptable to you, don't buy it.
Can you elaborate a bit on this? Does it work by the fan blowing them against a screen and they stay stuck on it?
Reminds me of that scene from Young Einstein.
Well if they have to pay more to attract talent then their profits will go down. Wall Street hates that. And if the share price falls, the talent they have will flee for better opportunity.

So they're going to go through some things, no? But I agree that so far they have managed to acquire the services most likely to destroy them.

Naw, Cali just wants clean air and water, and manufacturing doesn't want to pay to not screw the planet. That's why companies pillage Asia: their environment is for sale to the lowest bidder. Capitalism without regulation, baby!

You're making the same conservative argument about wages: if you pay a living wage companies will flee. No, if a company can't pay a living wage, it shouldn't exist. Likewise, if a company can't manufacture products without destroying the environment, it shouldn't manufacture those products.

I'm just a conservative. A nature conservative.
Granted, it's a very special ship.

And 50,000 acres of forest is its own reward.

The New College At Oxford story of replacing the oak beams in the dining hall is more fact than legend (though it's usually told in a very Just-So way that's a little too tidy), and it's not alone in this sort of husbandry: https://blog.longnow.org/02014/12/31/humans-and-trees-in-lon...
If the demographics of Texas is really shifting more progressive, then the writing could also be on the wall for Republican presidential campaigns.

Perhaps at that point the party will suddenly find itself again embracing the wisdom of the proposed Lodge-Gossett constitutional amendment, which got as far as approval by a super majority in the US Senate in 1950.

This is a false equivalence. Facebook is a monopoly.

If you owned the only store in the country (or the store that had 70% or more of the market), it would be outrageous to assert a right to toss people out for their opinions.

Monopolists must not be allowed the same leeway as ordinary businesses. This is a lesson we already learned the hard way many times.

Monopolies must be held to a much higher standard, which they must meet or be broken up.
I've looked at properties in Austin area a few months back. It's more affordable than CA, but it's still way out of reach of most non-HQ staff that Tesla employs. I've read the stat that property values have gone up 43% due to exodus from locked down blue states over the course of just the past year. Couple this with Texas' higher than average property tax rate (_especially_ in Austin area) and you've got some pretty un-affordable housing. FWIW, I'm looking at FL now instead.
So GDN CPMs will likely increase a material amount depending on number of auction participants (IS bid lost will probably correlate with how much more you'll pay?) and this kind of gets swept under the rug. Now there isn't any safety net from overbidding, so it becomes way more important to start bids low and work up, then periodically downbid and start the process again in the event other participants have entered/exited the auction.

How long until this gets implemented on search ads? <2 years? How will it impact the bid floors & ad rank there? (Kind of rhetorical, since the answer is it will most likely drive up CPC bids and for sure increase effective CPMs. I doubt Hal Varian browses HN.) Doing away with AP and IS signaled that this was the end goal. When this happens, you'll have to rely on more frequent bid adjustments combined with both sampling the paid SERPs and the Top IS metric via Ads API if you want to squeeze out more ROI (here is a business idea for someone if Wordstream/Kensho aren't already developing something).

It is great looking at the search queries report and ~40% of your spend doesn't even have an associated query. (not provided) for organic in GA is understandable, but doing similar on paid, come on.
I don't think phone calls makes huge difference for current situation. Flat rate calling plan only for night was available in 90s (but yeah it's for nerds so your point is vaild). ADSL were widely available in about 2001-2006. FTTH is now virtually available everywhere (except some condos with fragile "free" internet).

This parent comment from jeffbee is pretty obviously correct. There are more homes and they cost less and... amazingly, there are fewer people without homes.

People get this logic when you talk about, say, Ferraris. Of course not everyone has one! They cost a lot of money!

But with housing it's like "no! It must be drugs! Or they don't work hard enough! It can't have anything to do with the cost of a home being nearly a million dollars!"

These model numbers are rife, and hardly unique to the brands. If you were to shorten Tesla's Model 3, you'd have the TM3.

And back to Mazda, they have a very successful "3" that _could_ be described as an M3. :)

If anything it's nice that there's some consistency between at least a few brands on the numbering - if you see a 3, you'll know it's likely a medium sized car.
I think it hints SpaceX mega IPO - with the usual actors making moves to tax unrecognized gains it is a preparation move ahead of it.
The schools are not nearly as good as they should be for the income in the areas they're in. You would think that in an area where the average home is over $1 million every school would be a 10/10, but it's far from that.
Also, the UK has a corporate culture that under-values engineering and other technical departments.

This is reminiscent of intense wingsuit videos. While the drones are small and the speeds are not quite there yet, being able to change course on a whim may prove sufficiently appealing. I wonder if zipping through obstacle areas could become a notable application area.

To back this up, CA and TX tax people differently, but CA is more fair: https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2019/11/taxes-are-sur...

By More fair, I mean, CA has a similar tax rate across incomes, but does place more burden on top earners than TX does.

TX on the other hand, is unfairly taxing people more at lower incomes, and less for people at higher incomes.

TX policies don't align with my moral beliefs–I would not decide to raise my children there given the way the state is governed. That's of course a personal opinion, but I don't want to spend the rest of my life fighting for rights that we have in CA.

How much USD does Coinbase hold at any given moment?

What you are missing is "counterparty" risk in the sense that Coinbases coffers are not infinite and certainly not 100% cash.

That would effectively kill any trust in USDC and it's value plummets through the floor.
I mean, you could just as easily argue that the problems of California are what caused his move to Texas, as simply testing the waters for the move of the HQ.
Every talented meche or swe I know either gets paid multitudes more somewhere else. Or has worked there and didn’t want to work 7 day weeks anymore.

It’s all anecdotal but I’ve only heard negative things about working at a Musk co.
Anybody "fined for selling counterfeit Microsoft software" almost certainly ran a whitebox computer shop, and was successful enough to get noticed and charged in a period where almost everybody's home computers ran pirated Windows and you could buy it on any street corner. In Italy to boot.

> You're arguing that people trying to make a better life for themselves are ruining the lives of others?

100%.

> I think it's extremely clear that Californian's own tax policies

California's tax policies have been that way since at least the 70s. I'm thinking Prop 13 and rent control, which were essentially massive giveaways to incumbents at the expense of everyone else.

Your presence is support for those policies, both tacitly by supporting companies based there and directly with your tax dollars.

But I guess it's easier to wave your hands in the air and declare it someone else's problem rather than to acknowledge the part you play in supporting the system.

> Yet we blame the young tech workers

It's not one or the other. You can both be in the wrong. And you both are, for the record.
I work 40%, so I do this, just spread over 5 days. I've also tried one week on, one off. It's heaven. I hope I don't have to go back to working full time ever again. I'm currently working and travelling without a permanent address.

Robert Anton Wilson – Jack Parsons
> FWIW, I'm looking at FL now instead.

Miami? Or joining the much more quiet Jacksonville or Tampa Bay exodus that this dubious survey based entirely on LinkedIn data claims:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-01/austin-is...
Few people are aware of Marvel Whiteside Parsons (a.k.a Jack Parsons), co-founder of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratories. Parsons made major contributions to rocket development, particularly in the area of solid fuel propellant. The solid motors on the Space Shuttle and the motors in the Minuteman missile were based on the solid propellant technology that he invented. He was a founding member of Aerojet Corporation, and he even has a crater on the dark side of the moon named after him. So why isn’t he as celebrated as the other founding fathers of spaceflight?

Aleister Crowley, born Edward Alexander Crowley, was a British occultist, writer, mountaineer, philosopher, poet, mystic, drug experimenter, and chess player. He was an influential member in several occult organizations, including the Golden Dawn, the A∴A∴, and Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), and is best known today for his occult writings, especially The Book of the Law, the central sacred text of Thelema. He gained much notoriety during his lifetime, and was infamously dubbed "The Wickedest Man in the World."
As the official spokesperson for the company, if Musk says it's "housing", then housing is the official reason.

It may not be the real reason (which probably has more to do with his feelings about California in general and maybe proximity to SpaceX's Texas facilities), but it's the official reason.
Yeah, it's more like "DoD vanity project used as backdoor funding/justification for wildlife preserve".

The USA launders unpalatable social programs through the military, including enormous amounts of basic science funding, several tuition-free universities, and four of the largest jobs programs in the world. Adding wildlife preservation to the list isn't very surprising.
> Yes, they were. Each of the vaccines used around 40000 people in their trials.

And for how long do most vaccine trials last? How long have they historically been in use before any mandate was instituted?
With these moves I understand the companies might have good reasons for that (costs, nu-favourable laws, etc.) but it always bothers me what happens to the employees ?

Do they just "raise the anchor" and move with the company (if they do actually physically relocate, which does not seem to be really the case in this instance) ?

Maybe that's normal in the US but the though of having to leave your friends, parts of family family, house/flat and familiar environment in general because your company decided to relocate somewhere else is frightening! Of maybe that's just my central-European perspective.
Wait until they see their property taxes and valuations jumping 20% a year. No Prop 13 there.

I loved Austin, and lived there twice, but you can stick a fork in it now. Maybe in 20 years when they’ve finished the I-35 reimagining.
> homeless people [...] are just more visible in the bay area due to lax rules for them

I'm not normally someone who picks on phrasing, but this one is a little orwellian. The implication is that, while homelessness is endemic basically everywhere, the proper "rules" for them to obey are that they are not to be seen. And enforcement regimes that allow them to exist in public are "lax"?

Yikes.
Are you a tax lawyer by any chance? or is this just guessing?
I talked to several Tesla and former Tesla folks that will probably relocate because of this, and the say is that since Austin in less NIMBY than the Bay Area new housing will get built and prices will go down. It's a more complex bet than just "we move there because houses are affordable now".
Property taxes are higher than California, right? I can't find the source handy at the moment, but I've heard that a house in Austin that looks like a couple hundred grand cheaper than an equivalent house in California for the listing isn't actually any cheaper when you factor in the increased taxes and potentially other costs I'm not aware of.
Yes, the home ownership rate in Texas, California, and the US as a whole is over 50%.
