I have to agree with sterileopinions here. The fact that it's been done multiple times before means you know a lot about how hard it will be, the necessary resources, and can learn from past mistakes.
That doesn't make it easy. But it definitely makes it easier. To say otherwise is to argue that experience isn't useful.

It's a routine application of HN's rules. I'm happy to hear what you find objectionable, but you're going to have to be more specific if you want a specific response.
Because almost everything he said reads like a really generic right-wing narrative shaping about media manipulation, complete with conspiracy theory accessories. Like the most egregious one he included in that thread involves a total misunderstanding of publication dates and general time zones.
Don't read that thread and expect to learn much or gain insight, save for the fact that Blizzard really messed up here.
Just look at all the comments that got turned to grey. I bet there are patterns, and if looked over a long period of time, would seem like fashions too.
The US has over 300 cities with a population of more than 100,000 people. I’ve lived in a few of these, as well as San Francisco. It’s nonsense to say that none of these places have good, diverse food options or opportunities to make a great income.
In fact, if you pull up the 25 best places to live list that US news does, you’ll find that other than Santa Rosa and San Jose, nothing else in the Bay Area makes the list.
>>>* Pockets of STD's spikes that happen every few years
These seem like "those who live in glass houses should not throw bricks" positions to me. [1][2][3] And if you look at the STI maps by region, it's the poor Southeast states with the highest disease rates, not the Flyover Country interior (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Missouri, etc...)
You literally actively went out of your way to ignore information easily accessible within 15 seconds of a simple google search, directly from the CDC.
It's actually kind of funny you devoted that much effort into making yourself feel right, while not even being able to negate what was said with any kind of substantial source.
This was so so easy to find, yet you somehow managed to accomplish not finding it. You then went through the effort of creating a post on HN pretending that this information didn't exist. Just to make some point because you got insufferably offended about data.
I didn't notice this comment sooner, but as you know from previous accounts, attacking others like you did in this thread is a bannable offense on HN. If you keep breaking the site guidelines this way, we're going to have to ban you again.
Are these things true of Chicago & Austin as well, or is the the common misconception that "non-coastal" regions means "rural"?
In any case, you cite
> * Lower incomes
> * Less savings
in response to an article about a person who is miserable living in a garage. Is it strange to consider that some would rather be "worse" off living in a larger purpose-built dwelling somewhere else? Perhaps they can get paid on an SF pay scale and buy housing in cheaper markets?
> * Higher suicide rates
SF is literally building a suicide barrier on its iconic bridge.
TL;DR; It's okay that people want to live where they want to live. People thrive in different environments.
Good point! If we're stretching the definition of "coastal" to include proximity to bodies of water, we could also include cities adjacent to rivers and other lakes as "coastal." Then, we can add Austin, San Antonio, Memphis, Dallas, St. Louis, Salt Lake City, and of course Detroit to the ranks of coastal cities. (Depending on who draws the metro area, Atlanta could also be a coastal city using this definition.)
But that's not the grouping of cities commonly referred to as being "coastal." I obviously know that non-coastal != rural, but that equivalence is frequently used in American discourse. See also: "flyover country", etc.
No, I think the original statement is wrong, the Great Lakes coastline that Chicago is on is the longest contiguous coastline in the 48 contiguous states, not the whole US.
>This is one of the things MS Entity Framework gets right - it enforces the "start with FROM"
It gets it "right" (right being a very loosely defined term here) by happenstance, because you're operating off of an object. Not because it was some higher level design choice or discussion.
Honestly what's the point in prosecuting these crimes? Like objectively, in comparison, with precedence, with philosophical consideration to every reasonable extent, there is practically no point in expending the amount of effort that the justice system exerts on these types of crimes.
It almost makes you question why the justice system is motivated or incentivized to prosecute these types of crimes, to expend more judicial insight and energy, to display the overt and given power of government against a crime that has essentially harmed no one to any practical degree.
If some of the rich and the powerful got that way by having a getting shit done attitude, then fighting back is just another thing to get done and why not do it well if you have the money?
You have no supporting statements or evidence backing up this claim.
