i mean there are lots of reasons people become homeless but at some point it's not a question of affordability.  you're living off of social services and charity (and maybe to some degree crime), all of which are more available in the big cities.  also strength in numbers.  it's easier to be...

i am in LA and paid a premium to live close to work (4 miles via google maps).  still takes me 20-30 minutes in traffic (pre-covid).  can't imagine living even further.

No, biglaw. Salaries are largely standardized across industry. Some satellite markets like Atlanta pay less but not Texas (for most firms).

OK this has to be performance art at this point

I think the question was if someone takes this only part way can it create a stronger drug resistant strain like antibiotics. (I'll admit I have no idea)

I don't understand what it is about vaccination that is this huge violation It's a shot in your arm. Hurts for like a day. Then it's over. What's the big deal. "I don't know what's in it?" You don't know what's in anything. Your food, your drinking water, your air. All kinds of shit you didn't...

in an ideal world they would mandate vaccines for all.  but we live in the real world where there are limited legal mechanisms to do so.  you can't just make everyone over 65 get a vaccine.  but you can make vaccination a requirement for participation in state-funded activities like school. ...

boston winter is relatively warm b/c of the coastal location.  but that just makes it worse imo.  it lasts 6 months and the streets are covered in half-melted slush most of the time, not pretty snow.  i could never go back.

they are like the 5th biggest company in the world.  of course they are expanding outside of their home base. the austin development and the in house chip fab move is really interesting.  actually lots of stuff about apple's business plans especially post-covid are fascinating.  i can't imagine...

there are not even 15k employees in cupertino lol they're not moving ppl en masse from SV to austin.  there is not much overlap in the groups.  austin employees are supporting the tsmc/samsung fabs.  lots of those people are already in austin (apple acquired companies there).  those groups are...

yea they just started building a big one in culver city too.  they're really trying to avoid giving in to the remote work push that's hitting the rest of the industry.  lots of their chips are fabbed in austin too. what's funny is they closed their east texas offices a couple years ago to avoid...

Tesla is apparently taking over a large portion of HP campus in Palo Alto. lol

It's funny because I grew up on the east coast hearing the same things about commiefornia on the verge of collapsing any day now. Doesn't seem to have happened yet. When I graduated I had my choice of anywhere in the country. Haven't regretted choosing CA. Sure hear a lot of sour grapes from...

Actually I picked one that was more favorable to Texas. The 2020 report is much better for CA

i trust what people do not what they say... california is consistently #1 or close to it for startup activity (https://www.kauffman.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/2017_Kauffman_Index_Startup_Activity_State_Report_Final.pdf) tax-friendly states like texas and arizona are up there too.  but that...

"all sides lie so i get my news from theconversativetreehouse.com" makes sense

lots of people get rich in the US and move to Singapore.  i'd still rather live in the US. your argument makes no sense though.  if CA is this terrible, business-hostile environment, why do people keep founding companies here?  and why do they keep being insanely successful?

Um, doordash? Airbnb? Instacart? Honest company? Any number of other billion dollar companies that didn't exist 10 yrs ago? Imagine bragging about being a state where companies move to reduce taxes vs a state that constantly spawns billion dollar startups

All sounds good to me. States are supposed to be the laboratories of democracy right?

That is mental illness. Terminal contrarianism. There are a million things you have to do to participate in society. How is "you have to get this shot for public health" the Alamo. I really don't understand it.
