Maybe a pithy way to render this article's point is, if you are a young, competent 20-something fresh on the job market and imminently hireable at Facebook (but nowhere else, let's say for the sake of argument), do you:

* Take a job at Facebook (or one of it's properties)?

* Strike it out alone in a startup you found?

If you're more likely to do the latter, despite the higher risk, then Facebook has a big problem. If the best and brightest no longer want to work there, then their time has passed.
This is a strange definition of the path of least resistance. Wouldn’t that be doing nothing?
Similar to how native Japanese speakers often drop particles from their speech, it sounds more natural to say "I'm Japanese" rather than "I'm a Japanese". BTW I'm not American, but Australian. "I'm Japanese" sounds fine to me.
You might think, "That's a no-brainer." When the racial shakedowns start costing 137 million a pop, you have no choice but to get out.

Problem is: Texas is going the same way as California. Tesla (and every other fat target) might want to leapfrog and go straight to Tennessee or something.
This seems like a bizarre way to torture the narrative to say high taxes are good, no, required?

Have you seen where the money goes? It ain’t supporting a “technology infrastructure”.
I disagree with that article (which repeats the ITEP WhoPays report). It incorrectly assumes that the incidence of the property tax is on the renters that occupy a house rather than the landowner. If you think that property taxes are more regressive in Texas than California you would predict that poor people pay more for rent in Texas than California, when the truth is the reverse. And if you think that property taxes are regressive, you would predict that low property taxes reduce inequality, but the truth is that California’s low property taxes only enrich landowners at the expense of the poor and are the biggest source of inequality. The property tax is a rather progressive tax insofar as its incidence is on those who gain from excluding others, while it allows taxes on labor to be low.
Are you familiar with Mitch Hedberg?
The problem is that the lockdown was initially tied to hospital capacity. Then, we somehow thought we could wait for a vaccine, which I guess is a workable plan at this point. In the meantime though, we tore down field hospitals, and hospitals failed to develop more flexible ICU capacity after almost two years to "prepare". There's apparently a huge amount of COVID money going to drug companies, but there's not a pipeline for investment into healthcare infrastructure. In any case, it's strange to hear you talk about things we were hearing in early 2020.

So you see this kind of argument in the current "labour shortage". Some people will say certain businesses can't afford to pay more and they'll fold otherwise.

I personally don't see the business owner earning an income (sometimes a substantial income) as justification for the workers to earn less than a living wage.

It's the same here: there's no good justification for someone commuting plus working 18 hours a day and getting paid for 10 of those hours.
It may come to pass that Facebook is a generational phenomenon, like rock-'n'-roll. It'll be the thing for "old people" soon enough.
Traffic in Austin is insane. Legit insane. Definitely comparable to the Bay Area if not worse.

And there is absolutely no transit alternative comparable to BART. There is a morning and evening train, but it's really only effective if you live and work exactly on the stops.
Agree, this mob or any kind of collective mentality and thinking they are speaking for everyone when they are not and actually have a nihilist agenda is tiring.
>but it was in the past two decades and got particularly ridiculous beginning around "28nm" up to now.

I wonder if that is some kind of cultural shift that is taking place that started around 2009, or if it's always been like this and I just never noticed.

BMW model numbers used to more or less accurately reflect engine sizes, not anymore, it's just numbers now.

2G, 3G, 4G used to mean something, not anymore.

I could add a remark about the federal reserve, but... I'll just stay away from that. Don't want to be too edgy/turn this into a political discussion (I just think it's interesting from a cultural perspective).

It's like we collectively decided that "it's just numbers, man."

I don't think that misleading people for their own good is the news media's job. Some government officials may believe that it is theirs in certain situations, but I'm of the opinion that transparency is almost always the best policy in the long run.

The homeless are also people who live somewhere, just not in houses. "Lax" implies that treating them harshly would be better. But fining and jailing them isn't going to make them more able to get a place to live. Aggressive anti-homeless policies just hide the suffering from the well off.
absolutely not safe for eyes
in my GitHub the next information
"The main limiting factor in the development of this technology is the danger of the laser may damage the eyes. The laser can enter a blood vessel and clog it, it can get into a blind spot where nerves from all over the eye go to the brain, you can burn out a line of "pixels" And then the damaged retina can begin to flake off, and this is the path to complete and irreversible loss of vision. This is dangerous because a person may not notice at the beginning of damage from a laser hit: there are no pain receptors there, the brain completes objects in damaged areas (remapping of dead pixels), and only when the damaged area becomes large enough person starts to notice that some objects not visible. We can develop additional security systems, such as human detection, audio sensors, etc. But in any case, we are not able to make the installation 100% safe, since even a laser can be reflected and damage the eye of a person who is not in the field of view of the device and at a distant distance. Therefore, this technology should not be used at home. My strong recommendation - don't use the power laser! I recommend making a device that will track an object using a safe laser pointer."
Keep in mind that they’re in Far East Austin and you could easily commute in from any of the satellite cities with a very reasonable commute.

My partner had a hard time believing me when I told them England was denuded of trees to build their navy.

13nm is hard enough. ASML seems to have settled on laser-driven tin plasma light source, which is miserably inefficient: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet_lithograph

>The required utility resources are significantly larger for EUV compared to 193 nm immersion, even with two exposures using the latter. Hynix reported at the 2009 EUV Symposium that the wall plug efficiency was ~0.02% for EUV, i.e., to get 200-watts at intermediate focus for 100 wafers-per-hour, one would require 1-megawatt of input power

The optical train is also tough. 13nm is getting close to soft x-rays, and photons that hot don't like reflecting, and the optics are rapidly degraded by exposure light:

>EUV collector reflectivity degrades ~0.1-0.3% per billion 50kHz pulses (~10% in ~2 weeks), leading to loss of uptime and throughput [...] Due to the use of EUV mirrors which also absorb EUV light, only a small fraction of the source light is finally available at the wafer. There are 4 mirrors used for the illumination optics, and 6 mirrors for the projection optics. The EUV mask or reticle is itself an additional mirror. With 11 reflections, only ~ 2% of the EUV source light is available at the wafer.
Well, I hope nobody chooses a fab based on the headline number on their marketing material. Adapting your design to them is a long process that requires all kinds of details, and how well they will produce your circuit depends on those details as much as on the feature size.

Charitable take, but this is more like Lyft starting a free driver's ed. Graduates are expected to bootstrap their own successful games and programs in the Apple app store. Surely the 'inaugural class' will have its entries featured prominently - and I wish all the best to those creators - but to be clear, Apple isn't training engineers to whom it will furnish a salary, but rather investing in a future cut of their sales.

You still don't have any data.
Austin also has hundreds of miles of land around it in all directions. Coastal cities are always expensive because of the geographical barriers causing over half of potential lands to be water and having a lot of bottlenecks to get into the city
Does the lithography require the tight wavelength or other nice properties of lasers? I had thought they used filtered synchrotron output since a while ago.

Terrible traffic is the result of a city wanting everyone to use cars, rather than the opposite.

Slow, low traffic car trips is the sign that the city wants people to not drive.

Moving to a non car centric city means you don't need a car for your trips. The lifestyle is to stop having a car, because it's unnecessary

Why not?
The cutting edge in mediocre corporate training at the moment is drawing pictures about experiences based on open ended questions to which no one dares say an answer is wrong but instead passively aggressively use voting via small tags of coloured paper and resulting in nothing aside from a few quotes from self improvement books, and a cake and photo at the end of the day to *celebrate the journey", and that shading stick figure figurines with grey makes them look better.

It reminds me of the initial dot-com bubble, where anybody who asked questions was also painted as not getting it. Ditto the mortgage bubble, come to think of it.

Then when the inevitable crash comes, nobody apologizes. It's either "who could have known" or just moving on to the next grift and never saying another word.

Family wise though, moving to Texas is bad for half the members of your family. Half the people in your family, aren't going to agree with the Texas government's views, whether you want to force them to or not.
> Money market funds are 100% backed

This is a meaningless statement unless they have actual, physical dollar bills stacked in a warehouse backing the fund.

> Those moving into the inherited home as their primary residence are not affected.

Not true. Only $1m of assessed value is excluded for heirs moving into an inherited property as a primary residence. Inheriting property worth more than $1m is not a bad problem to have, but in places like Los Angeles it means that a lot of people not be able to afford to live in the property and will be faced with either fixing it up for use as a rental or selling the home they grew up in.
For anyone who had not been aware (like me), apparently Intel has renamed their third gen 10 nm process to 7, and their 7 nm process (the one that they describe as being their first full use of EUV, that got pushed back to 2023) is now named 4. That puts Intel’s node naming roughly in line with TSMC and Samsung in terms of feature density.
Will Tesla's employee salaries remain the same, or will they go down commensurately like every other re-located SV employee?

I think that people living in these high tax and spend states are starting to ask that what are they getting for paying these high taxes. For example New York spends 9000 per person as part of their budget whereas Texas spends around $3700 per resident. Are the services rendered in NY really 3x better than those in TX.

I'd be careful about directly comparing prices, real estate taxes (by rate) in Texas are significantly higher than in California. They might be overall lower given that the real estate prices are cheaper, but Texas is #6 in the country for real estate taxes while California is #34[1].

Taxes for that home in TX would be equivalent to a $1.8M+ home in CA, though (and raise every year with the market), so it's not as simple as comparison. The monthly mortgage payment for a $900k in Austin is probably comparable to a $1.2-1.3M home in CA.
I ran into this today. Delete node_modules and package-lock.json then install and run audit again.
With the old-school plane transistors over the wafer's silicon design, you need about 10nm of doped material so it won't completely mix with everything else.

With theoretical organic 1-electron designs you can build a transistor out of 4 carbon atoms. But nobody knows how to mass produce those ones.

We are somewhere on the middle, modern designs did break the 10nm barrier, but are not nearly as small as those numbers you see around.

You're talking about desiring a government run video host? In theory, it's an interesting concept. But what happens when somebody starts posting objectionable, but still legal, content and one group or another starts screaming about blocking it? Seems like a slippery slope towards government censorship.

Hey, like I said, it's just the first preview version of the platform. Even though the editor auto saves every 200ms to the server, there is no local caching. So even if we lose data, it's going to be a couple words. But still it's unacceptable, that's why I put up the disclaimer.

- Uploading each chapter would be finished when I move the editor page to a SPA. That way we can get a more stable editor and a better authoring experience.

A lot of people think that the reason why a business is bought up is because it isn't profitable, but a business is bought up when it's undervalued. If you can pay off the loan from the profit the business is earning and have something left over then you can buy the business.

This is why a business wants its share price to be high. When the share price falls, then you become vulnerable to this. It's all about opportunity cost. Thus a company will lay off people or close a division even when it is still earning a profit, as long as that profit is less than what justifies a reasonable share price - one that prevents this type of buyout. Therefore the rate of return on debt forms a baseline for the return of equity. The end doesn't have to come from not being able to pay your bills, but from being repurposed for another use. Please remember this the next time someone says "Company X didn't need to do this, it was still profitable!" or "Companies don't need to keep shareholders happy!" Please also keep this in mind when someone is insisting that low interest rates are a good thing. Low rates bid up shareprices and create a lot of churn in the business world.

>The article tries to downplay what I think is the core issue

Because that's just what you think is the core issue (without having any basis to do so), and not what Facebook thinks is the core issue.

How do I know? Well, here's what the actual cease-and-desist letter[1] says right at the top:

> Facebook has gathered evidence that your Chrome extension "Unfollow Everything for Facebook" facilitates unauthorized functionality on Facebook. Specifically, your extension automates action on Facebook, including mass following and unfollowing of Friends, Pages, and Groups. Your extension also impermissibly makes use of Facebook's trademarks. These activities violate Facebook's terms.

So, please, let's stop with pulling things out of thin air to make Facebook look better. They wrote in no unclear terms that they perma-banned the author for the functionality of this app.

California actually spends less per student on education than even many poor states. For all their virtue signaling about public transport, CA don't even have universal school bus service (which is table-stake in most states). Most parents drive individually and drop kids!

Just compare the building/facilities of any top bay area public school with that of Texas. The former look like shack while the latter look like mini universities. Bay area schools still rank higher because of students and parents, its nothing to do with the state.
I get your point but that chart is overestimating so much that it misses the point entirely, anyone who actually checked their % after a few drinks would notice it immediately.

After having a "typical" longneck-format beer I'd be at 0.04 and already in the "unsafe to drive" threshold. This is not bragging by the way, don't drink and drive, but we should have a discussion over values that actually make sense.
To be fair, no one really looks at Palo Alto when buying a first home…

>It's like we collectively decided that "it's just numbers, man."

People with no scruples realized it's easier/cheaper to confuse and persuade people something is better than actually producing something better and that conventional wisdom was wrong.

It's a lot easier to invest in propoganda that convinced improved perceived value than actual value. It's win-win, the consumer thinks they're happy and the producer doesn't have to deal with the mess of hurdles in reality to continue to make money. Conventional wisdom says people are smart and will see through your snake oil, meanwhile, empirical data says people will drink the snake oil if you tell them it's from the fountain of youth.
