You're getting downvoted for being needlessly snarky and constructing a strawman to insinuate CA is somehow hypocritical. Which states besides CA would you describe as "autonomous" vs not? A Federation of independent states u

Thanks for sharing that info. I do think we're talking past each other though. Perhaps I should have said "practical" instead of "possible". Certainly just about anything is possible with enough money and manpower t

The Federal government manages 57% of California forests. Another 33% are under private control. Very little of the parts of CA that are ablaze are managed by the State. Forest management alone at any level cannot prevent these massive fire

The person that received the $850k loan spent it, so their balance is then $0 and the bank also has a corresponding entry for -$850k of debt that they are owed and can collect interest on. The debt is an asset held by the bank until it is p

60% of land in CA is under Federal management. Another 2/3 is private land. There is more bureaucracy around things like air quality regulations, but in general it's not an "aesthetic" issue causing these problems. Many

I disagree, but you're entitled to your opinion. He's not sharing a personal experience, but rather replying to someone else's with unsolicited advice on how to better go about getting something that was never asked for in th

Yikes. This comes across as really arrogant, and speaks to the author's point. What led you to believe anyone needed or wanted your empathy or approval? Just because someone shares their perspective on a personal experience they had do

And as might be expected on a forum full of intelligent nitpickers, people can parse and dissect the structure of this sentence to fit any narrative they'd like. For example, it says it's solving issues attributed to production

I think OTP Releases would still depend on the target host being configured correctly and having all dependencies installed that your application needs to run. Containers are all about consistency of the environment. For example, maybe your

Wouldn't the point of running in Docker still be to guarantee version, environment, and config compatibility? Just because you run an Elixir app on your local machine doesn't mean it will work worry-free on Prod. Without Docker, y

While you were there, how much was Valve still an "anarcho syndicalist" paradise? When you say projects were cancelled, was that because the teams working on them decided to stop (since everybody there is supposed to be their own

Not really the company's fault here. Policies like this exist because candidates have and will sue the shit out of you for any flimsy accusation of discrimination they can cobble together. Companies didn't create these policies ar

The problem is that it could be a slippery slope with no transparency, oversight, or recourse. First, it's creepy that a company I paid money to for a game is actively scraping the internet trying to associate my Blizzard-Activision

Crowdsourceable? If you need a couple thousand users, would it be possible to run a marketing campaign, get pre-purchase commitments of $100-200, and give some rewards to early adopters? If you raise enough funding, you're good, if not

You can play the lottery ticket game and move on, taking your 2 years of vesting with you. Only do this if you think you've set the company up for long-term success and it will still be successful even without you there. Also only do t

Yeah, but you're going to see a <form> that POSTs to some target URL, with username and password as fields. The only thing protecting the plaintext password from leaking is SSL. POSTing a XmlHttpRequest is equivalent.

There is no logic to it. If you raise the minimum wage (not necessarily a bad thing, but in terms of the effect on housing affordability...), with housing supply remaining fixed, it would either do nothing (people making FAR more than minim
