This seems like a sample bias. Even if lots of people here who have moved used to commute by public transit, the reality is that most people commute by car. Reducing commuting is generally a very good thing.
you don't have to move that far to escape all that. Plenty of areas an hour away from San Jose that are nice and a lot cheaper (still more expensive than Texas or Florida, sure).
No offense, but presumably your parents did the same thing when they had you for similar reasons. This is simply what happens when you have kids.

However, there are separate but related trends which the articles points out:

- The south's quality of living has drastically increased over the last 20~30 years
- People aren't seeing state localized benefits from high state taxes (IMHO Illinois might the worst tax:benefit ratio in the country)
- Work from home acceleration has accelerated lower cost of living with high quality of life centers (see -> the south)

P.S.- I grew up in the north shore Chicago. /wave
Does "kid friendly" for you include a means for your child to operate independently of you in the time between "go play outside" age and driving age? I ask because I grew up in a suburb where I had the equivalent of a small urban park's playground in my back yard, but the time between that playground being useful and when I could drive were terrible for me and for my parents (who had to drive me to almost anything I wanted to do) and would have been worse if I weren't able and interested in walking/biking 3 miles to the library or train station.

I was so very jealous of my friends who lived in more urban areas who could walk home from school and do things independently of their parents at 12 rather than 16+.
We can engineer bunkers and safe houses though, right?

There's a question of whether or not its worth it, especially the maintenance costs. But if tornadoes in the region only give 15 minutes of warning, then a very strong "safehouse" of some kind is probably the best option.

Maybe the group would get trapped in the safehouse and be nearly starving after 2 or 3 days. But the rescuers might find them in time?

-------

I'm not necessarily saying that its easy to build a 110-person bunker. But if you have 110 workers, then surely that's something you need to consider as a preventative / safety measure?
LinkedIn has a tendency to flag gender changes on accounts for similar reasons, but unlike Uber, they just request paperwork proof. It seems likely that either Uber’s HR chatbot was programmed by, or its termination criteria were set by, non-trans men; as (in the Western culture where Uber is based) women are often familiar with fighting with name change problems, and (in all cultures) trans people are accustomed to being flagged by machine algorithms for transitioning.

This is really cool!

One issue I noticed though is that if you use gestures to zoom on a touch pad, then you'll end up in the wrong spot.

For instance, I put my cursor on Sydney with a Lambert projection and pinch to zoom. As I pinch in, my cursor moves away from Sydney as the map rotates, so the centre of the map ends up at some other place.

Ideally, it should cache the geographic coordinates of the cursor at the start of the pinch gesture and zoom around that till it receives a non-pinch input.
This really doesn't feel like the right question. The only safe(ish) place in a tornado is being in a building or bunker rated for a tornado. The technology exists. I think I would ask:

- Are insurance companies incentivizing building certified shelters by lowering insurance for those that get said building certifications? This question also applies to residential homes.

- Are state and federal governments incentivizing building certified shelters by giving tax breaks to businesses that get said building certifications and have them inspected annually?

- Are any construction companies providing services to retrofit buildings in tornado prone locations? If there is money to be made I believe this would become a thing.

Whether people are working, eating or sleeping I think is not as relevant as mitigating the root cause of a well known risk and incorporating that into business cost and offsetting the retrofit with tax exemptions and write-offs. If you want your folks to keep working during a tornado, then design the building to handle one. Switzerland somehow managed to address this issue for an even less likely risk, as nearly all homes have a fallout bunker.

Yes, I didn't say explicitly, but this is what I meant by "depends on a lot of assumptions". It will require different regulatory thinking for this to work out positively.
Exactly. I am very much in favor of them though. They would be a great addition to the language.
Okay, but you have to understand, when you say things like "Oakland == Syria" it's incredibly hard to take you (and the people who make complaints like this) seriously.

I can walk four blocks and buy, like, 19 different lattes. I can walk two blocks and get on a train that takes me to downtown SF in 18 minutes. In a 10-minute drive I can get to literally any cuisine the world has to offer, and it's fucking delicious. These are not amenities available in third-world countries (or, I might add, in many cities in the U.S., at least not at this density and quality).

Do I see homeless people on the way? Yeah. I live in the Bay Area, an area going through a horrifyingly serious homelessness crisis. Parks are bad. The encampments under and along the highways are massively depressing.

But there's not rubble in the streets. Families are not starving to death in their homes. People are not being gunned down against walls.

Shit is bad right now, and I am afraid it's going to get worse before it gets better. But let's not pretend it's a third-world country. That helps neither your cause nor mine.
Experiencing a little synchronicity now as I've recently picked up Hero With A Thousand Faces :)
It's clear that, because people view housing as an investment, supply and demand increases the value of city housing (often to levels that seem ridiculous).

Can you elaborate on the subsidisation of suburbia? Are there tax provisions that advantage them?
Down thread someone lists the average tornado warning time as 9 minutes. With 9 minutes warning, most people would be just getting to their cars with some still on the plant floor getting their stuff to go home.

They had 20 minutes per the article, in that time frame you would have a traffic jam in the parking lot as everyone tried to leave down the 2 lane road that services the factory.
Those examples are not applicable. The context of the article, and the comment I was quoting from, clearly indicate a web environment.
They have been on my mind. As awful as the tornadoes are, that’s not why though. I know it’s a reality of the world we live in, but while most of us would have been at home warm and well fed, these poor souls were manufacturing fucking candles overnight. We can keep telling ourselves that creating tech will improve the world and maybe it will, I hope it does, but in a factory overnight making candles, what’s wrong with all of us.
Before Google steamrolled the competition with free maps around 2010, streaming vectorial maps were quite a big thing in EU. I completely forgot the names of the big players in the area, however the maps were rendered on the client after being preprocessed (generally for streaming/rendering efficiency) via a flash or java applet.

The maps were usually reprojected in variable UTM (according to your TZ - on the one I was working with) and/or using a Gauss projection, which is an extremely good compromise for whole countries. Because it was dynamic, the reprojection was a continuum while panning, usually imperceptible for the user at country scale. You could rotate the map, as well as query for road names in any spot instead of hunting down the (often missing) labels.

I feel like the online services regressed quite a bit compared to that time, but maybe that's just me as I was working on the field. The mercator projection was mostly a fallback for worldwide maps, hardly used otherwise at smaller scales. When google maps started to provide worldwide free maps (which could be used as a 3rd-party service for free at the time), there was no way we could compete. OSM wasn't good enough yet, data licensing from international vendors was extremely high, and worldwide satellite imagery required an entire order of magnitude higher investment to compete. The companies I knew all pivoted to fleet management and similar services to survive.
I'm not so sure it's mostly about high-cost. The people who have new freedom due to increased remote work opportunities can probably afford the city. I think it's more likely that they are moving for quality of life reasons. I know that's true for me. Also, we've just been through (and might still be in) a pandemic. I'm very glad I didn't need to use public transportation for the past couple of years.

I don't think the city is fixable for people who don't want to live in a city.
If there was such limited market demand for RSS when it was available that almost everyone's dropped it, then maybe it's not a solution that people actually need or want.

I get that people think it's a great idea, but in practice it seems not to be.
Have you considered recording a video of you using it?

Have a rough landing page. Add the video. Post a Show HN. How I would consider marketing it after that is through "content marketing". Ie: start a blog/insta/twitter/youtube channel where you post relevant stuff for people trying to solve or improve remote collaboration. You can show your solution, or talk about common problems you've seen, etc.

Good luck!

(I'm curious to see your solution!)
How should I be hosting my website then? Suppose for the sake of an example it's some simple custom HTML, CSS, and a few javascript math apps. I don't enjoy the process, I just need the damn website online.

(Again – an honest question! I was never formally instructed in these matters.)
A lot of us are happy to just use RSS for the aggregated listing. I really don't mind going to the original site in a browser to read the article.
Yup, we'll ship them once they go Stage 3/4 (when Chrome ships them in stable).

Eliminating the commute, when it is replaced by living in a suburb with essentially no access to services without driving (especially when there was access before), can still be a net negative... That's the point of the anecdote...
Assuming no revision to make it work better, I agree.
It's not even unique to Slavic languages -- past tense is also formed through an adjective (and is subject to all gender agreement things) in French, so it may be something from PIE.
How can we reach “normies” with RSS?
This sucks! Have you tryed asking the question in the metaverse? ;)
If you've worked in a production factory you know it doesn't take 5-10 minutes to shut down. Nearly all machines/facilities have emergency/instant shutdown capabilities. Looking at the size of this operation in the picture, I don't think it's 5 minutes to the parking lot or 5 minutes to get out either.

A well prepared company would have already gone through a tornado evacuation scenario with staff ahead of time. I'll take my chances trying to drive away from a disaster with 15 minutes lead time versus hoping I survive the full impact of the tornado. Maybe I've watched too many stormchasers on twitter, but they're all alive and in cars/vans.
There is a downside to some places as well. You have people moving into areas with high paying jobs and expectations of high cost in housing. The locals who have lived there for years are priced out of their own community with the influx. This has happened around Austin TX, and from what I understand in Colorado.
Of course when the history of a name can be directly attributed to a bad person then it will be attacked but what happens when the history is less clear? Will assumptions be made?

It wildly varies by suburb. The one I grew up in had few-to-no kids on the block, and even if there had been, there were only a couple of small, underwhelming parks within walking/biking distance. Comparing notes with other people, this seems like the more common experience of the suburbs.

The disdain (at least for me) comes when you do the math and realized how absurdly subsidized the suburban lifestyle is.

I couldn't use chapstick in elementary school because of the relentless bullying it inevitably triggered. Not just toward me, but any male that dared to hydrate his lips. That sort of reaction made me super averse toward any sort of preening-type of behavior, lest I be perceived as feminine.

Even now, I'm more comfortable if I look at least a little unkempt, as if I work outside with my hands or something. I consciously know it's dumb, but my wife expresses preferences for that unkemptness in me as well.

Well, that's the whole point - RSS lets you circumvent all (or most of) the mechanisms that Facebook, Google, Medium etc. etc. have implemented to monetize content. So they are directly interested in killing it off sooner rather than later. And if the big players don't support it, the people/organizations/whatever who still maintain their own blog/news site are also more likely to see it as obsolete (or have web devs who tend to follow the "new shiny" and will advise them that RSS is obsolete).
If you only use it for NAT traversal and don't need to hide your location you can setup a single onion service. This way your server makes a direct connection to the rendezvous points which reduces the number of hops from 6 to 3 which should increase the speed and reduce the load on the Tor network.

This can be configured with two options.

> Stopping the line : 5~10 minutes

0 minutes - No one should even think about shutting down gracefully in an emergency. GO. NOW. Your facility should have an emergency shutdown procedure. We do and it's called hit the emergency stop buttons and GTFO.

> Collect stuff : 5 minutes

0 minutes. Leave it. EMERGENCY.

> Get to cars: 5 minutes

How far is your car and how big is this building? Granted my shop is small but I can get to my car in 30 seconds from my office at top speed. Your shop should have implemented and tested an evacuation procedure and designated safe meeting spot (If you can safely stand outside). We did, and actually simulated an emergency, found issues with the routes, iterated and retested. We are in fact prepared. Are you?

> Get out of gate: 5~10 minutes

This is the hard part. Not only do you have to fight your fellow employees but also hoards of other cars especially if you work in an industrial park. If you have a 4x4 use it and let the landscapers worry about the shrubbery and grass you tore up getting the fuck outta dodge. Drive through chain link fences if you have to. Just GO. NOW!
Yes, I know there are parts of Orange County that have water injection wells that pump water into the ground along the coast to keep fresh water in the aquifer to prevent it filling with brackish water. Some googling around shows it might be called the Talbert Seawater Intrusion Barrier.

I happened to have a quite different view.

It was clear to me the content I was supposed to get.

The only reason I didn't purchase is because the value proposition "save time managing your own side-project/startup deployment" is not smart, to me at least.

Tornado sirens are generally triggered by tornado warnings, which require confirmation of a tornado (either by visual confirmation of tornado, or more frequently, the telltale signs on radar). The blog post you cite talks about sufficient evidence to drive severe storm warnings or tornado watches, which are events that can happen close to weekly for some locations--too frequent to be used for tornado sirens.
> the problem is, thermodynamics is so generic that it's hard to imagine how to sidestep it - and people do try all the time.

Population is already set to decrease.

Speaking of thermodynamics...

The life-carbon cycle on the planet is not a reversible process. Photosynthetic life, and sea life (sea shells require a lot of carbon) pull down a lot of CO2 from the atmosphere. Sea life in particular leads to carbon being sequestered in limestone over millions of years. Land life leads to carbon being buried in soil. This process trades low-entropy, high-energy sunlight for high-entropy, low-energy light emitted back to space by the planet (keeping us in equilibrium), with the entropy going into things on Earth, like the conversion of CO2 into limestone.

The biggest and shortest-term natural threat to life on this planet is dwindling atmospheric CO2. At the end of each glacial period (thus the beginning of each interglacial) CO2 is lower than at the end of the previous glacial period, and it has been thus since the beginning of the current ice age, and it seems like a pattern that will keep repeating. Eventually the Earth will fall below the photosynthesis starvation level of atmospheric CO2. Before the Industrial Revolution, and the oil&gas revolution in particular, that was going to be just a few more glacial periods. By raising atmospheric CO2 to 400+ppm we've bought the planet a few million years, and even so, if humans were to disappear in the next glacial period, we'd be looking at a closer end to life on the planet through exhaustion of atmospheric CO2 than through astronomic catastrophes like a large asteroid hitting the planet.

Do you really think this was unknown until the tornado sirens sounded?

Every news station in the region was warning of this storm, but i guess if you look it from a capitalist prospective why take the risk that you accidentally needlessly save a human life at the expense of some profits by canceling the unneeded 3 AM FUCKING MIDNIGHT SHIFT, when you can count on people on hacker news to justify the human cost of your business.
