Paging Steele...

To the downvoters: I'm a liberal speaking from years of working with him in meat space. You may not like what I said but it's accurate.

Gotta love how clattner shuts down the thread. He's a nice guy but he does have a strong authoritarian side that gets triggered by the typical SJW causes (even in small talk about silly things).

Or, as the calculus on living in the Bay Area shifts [0], top tier talent starts to direct itself elsewhere. This stems growth in the Bay Area since founding successful companies in lower cost areas will be possible, housing investment slows as a result of that, and the market naturally cools down a bit [1].

[0] Don't fool yourself into thinking that only people without the income or capital to live well in the Bay Area would leave it. There are intangibles (culture, traffic, distance to skiing, etc.) that, for some people, are non-optimal. For others, it's perfect. That's okay, humans are a varied lot (and it's a good thing).

[1] Nothing major, it will remain expensive due to geography and talent/creativity/capital density.

That shifts the "cost" to employers... and you profited from it. Does that make it theft? :-)

Clarification: the outrage machine does exist as a phenomenon in American politics. It's real.

I agree that stewardship of the environment is very important.

There are multiple "American publics". The outrage machine will not like it, you are correct, but take a drive through Nevada or West Virginia and you'll see folks used to such side effects.

There's enough oxygen floating around in various forms that the _lack_ of an oil layer can allow rust to form. There are other ways to treat it, as your uncle alluded to, but they are probably very sensitive to following the appropriate maintenance schedule.

The laws aren't there to protect us, they exist to secure entrenched interests.

Yep. They also need regular "exercise" and lubrication if you want them to be worth anything in a WROL situation.

Yep, this used to happen frequently on road trips. It relies on squeezing the wheel fairly firmly.

I got into the habit of periodically giving it a good squeeze while resting my hand on it.

Nashville's getting pretty expensive, too, thought it's nothing compared to the Bay Area.

Eero works okay but the consistency is not great (wild variations in ping time, for instance). I switched to a Ubiquiti (Unifi) setup and it is a world of difference. My ping times are super stable (like < 1ms of standard deviation awesome) and that makes a big difference for any realtime demands.
