Yes. Otherwise one half of contributors would have died in a famime and the other half at the hands of secret police. I remember them tryimg to subvert linux with some unconsequential contributor accusing people in the core team of sexual misconduct and whatnot.

How can people believe that a censored politically correct process can get even close to something like AGI is baffling to me. Lysenkoism in computing.

The law doesn't prevent you from using it. It prevents children from accessing it, or at least tries to.

Or thousands of public school teachers protected by schoolboards and principals.

Taxes in California were very different when SV started. It's now running on intertia and fumes.

People who compare salaries obviously have no idea about the difference in cost of living in the US especially in California and especially in SV.

The productivity graph is obviously totally useless and not a representation of tech workers, but maybe fast food workers and diversity officers.

The characterisation of taxes and ease to start a business is utterly false.

Pretty sure that's not how it works. If a party you lend to can unilaterally it becomes much harder to justify investing. That's simply how it goes. Lawyers don't come into it since the decision is unilateral.

You don't think that refusing to pay your debt, no matter moral qualms about the holder, impacts the value of your debt? Investors could start wondering when you'll accuse them of being evil for any reason and refuse to pay them.

All I see is a lot of cope and bickering about small things.

Fact of the matter is that google doesn't make good interesting and innovative products because it has started drinking it's own cool aid.

About at the same time as when they started becoming evil, getting political and influencing elections everywhere, they also stopped even trying to make innovative products and instead went full communist.

Everyone knows the effect that has on innovation but somehow SF techies and american wokies are unable to comprehend it, and vehemently deny it.

Maybe, but homelessness/poverty and education quality not, for example. These would be important for people who plan to have a family.

I guess the social side can be deduced easily from the fact that these places are single-party cryptodictatorships, though.

> affluent neighbourhoods have lower (violent) crime rates but surrounding areas are literal sh*tholes way to sell the city

Also, these statistics measure crime according to the laws, their enforcement and reporting. SF has lax laws, lax enforcement and underreporting.

Haha not a word about social issues or crime. I wonder why.

Yes! This will save at least 3 lives a year! Even one life counts!
