There is also one of my favorite talks tangentially related by Lawrence Krauss. He explains that eventually a civilization exploring the universe around them will only see it's own galaxy and likely believe that's all there is. We are living in an extraordinary time where we are still able to see other galaxies.
Liberal by definition is anti-racist. A major tenet of liberalism is egalitarianism and it's what allows free market capitalism.
Maybe you should go educate yourself about what Liberalism is before appointing yourself the racism police on Hackernews.
I'm a liberal and I've said I prefer not having more racists in California with illiberal sentiment. That is the opposite of racist.
There is a long history of America enforcing white racial integrity which you seem to be naive to. As a native Californian I think it's fair to be weary.
I stand by not wanting more transplants in my state and it's not just me.
Welcome to American politics.
I hate racists too which is why I prefer not having them in my state.
Why do you think there are so many posts about people wanting to leave California?
Do you think it's really all about taxes? It's not.
The prevailing rhetoric of California being "bad" is mostly political and has racist anti-liberal roots.
By shutting down counter views you're allowing those racist viewpoints to prosper.
And by the way, none of your rhetoric counters what is historical fact.
The plurality of California are not Hispanic by pure accident.
Lastly, it should be possible to have a rational discussion about demographics on this site without people over reacting and name calling.
settled != colonized
California indigenous who settled and mestizos who colonized share the same haplogroup d dna.
They are the same people.
And for what it's worth the massive anglo/white immigration into California has been tantamount to ethnic replacement - not just in California but all over this continent.
So excuse me if I don't cry a river over fewer transplants.
conquistadors
This is the type of ignorance I'm talking about.
The first people to colonize California were mestizo and mulato - generations after the conquistadores in Mexico.
Do you actually mean Californio?
Arm processors are more energy efficient.
I can't even imagine a life without New World domesticated cultivars.
I'd love some NAS hardware that is low power and can run a few Docker containers.
_You_ go to Idaho and Wyoming.
California is our state.
Honestly, I fantasize about a California with population levels pre-Gold-Rush, pre-Dust-Bowl and pre-Silicon-Valley.
No, we get it.
DeFi is being able to trade unregulated equities or lend on their collateral on decentralized exchanges with transactions guaranteed by code.
In other words, it's for degens that think avoiding taxes on shitcoin trading is peak crypto.
There are other interesting things on blockchains that can be done outside of decentralized finance. But trading shitcoins is what people are getting off on right now.
It reminds me of how porn is almost always first in new technology adoption.
Somehow it's going on the S&P.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A lot of people complain about California policies, but I don't ever see anyone stop to think that maybe those policies aren't there to serve them. That is, perhaps they aren't the constituency those policies were implemented for.
And maybe America and certainly California don't need half the country moving to just one state.
Many of these companies have been making cars for generations.
Toyota for example is set to introduce prototypes with solid state batteries in 2021.
Most consumers will opt for their familiar and reliable Camry that happens to run on batteries.
Tesla will need something new to entice consumers. But, I just don't see much more innovation outside battery tech happening.
There is a herculean effort by every car manufacturer in the world to compete for Tesla's electric car market share.
In the coming years there will be so much competition in this space.
And then you have Elon snubbing California, one of the largest consumer markets in the space.
I'd short.
California is absolutely prime real estate especially for the rich. And if you're a billionaire you're going to have to pay for the privilege.
We'd sooner install our own state digital currency before allowing dollar billionaires to bully us.
A version of one of my favorite quotes,
"Reality has a way of asserting itself."
HN is not immune to political biases especially when it comes to taxes.
Nobody likes taxes and if you can either avoid them or recoup them through subsidies it makes you "smart."
CA at some point will try to tax unrecognized capital gains
Where is the evidence for this?
Effectively, Elon has avoided future California capital gains taxes by moving. Those are the facts of his move.
Personally, I would rather pay a few points extra on capital gains and income taxes to avoid Texas.
Just look at what the Texas AG is doing right now:

You're describing the 14th amendments' equal protection clause.
but if you can build up
And those at higher locations will be more costly because they'd be both desirable and scarce.
If your theory were true all homes would be priced on some square footage price constant. They're not.
I also value my right to life and people being careless and needlessly propagating the virus puts that at risk.
Fine, but we generally don't average out values nationally to price homes.
We don't take home values from the Detroit market, Beverly Hills market and San Antonio market to price a house in New York.
Real estate is deflationary because each asset is unique - like fine art or a 1 in millions baseball card misprint.
I don't follow you.
Normally, real estate markets are tracked in isolation.
By that definition Bitcoin is a neutral asset class as well since it's deflationary nature is also artificially imposed.
the price of real estate in the US has not changed.
That's just ludicrous.
Ridiculously expensive data caps exclusively used for wealth extraction.
To be fair, society already has prevalent deflationary capital - real estate.
I'm so glad this is the top comment.
Companies are for the benefit of people.
When companies become a detriment to public health and wellbeing they need to be regulated.
