I'm not in that area, so perhaps that is why I am not aware of what the pushback is.
I've been to some of the suburbs around there, and some of them don't seem so dense. Sure, SF downtown is dense. The San Mateo area seems to have a LOT of housing areas. They're not what I would consider to be affordable, but if an ambitious develop bought up a bunch of houses and put in some apartments a lot of people would have a place to live and the developer could make a killing. Or at least I would think so.
If housing is soo expensive the other developers (housing developers that is) would make a killing to build there until they returned to affordability (and then they would probably still fall some more).
Once you put the profit motive INTO the equation the affordability problem improves.
Other examples of sprawling government causing housing/affordability problems: Hawaii and Venezuela
I hope you are joking. There's this thing called "asymmetric warfare". If China pulls up in the beltway and starts raining cluster bombs on our standing army it will be pretty clear to everyone how obsolete strategies like that are. There are many, many cases where this has been made painfully clear on the battlefield. Consider the case of the "modern" Iraqi army randomly shooting tracer bullets in the sky because they couldn't figure out where our stealth aircraft were. They had waay more of everything we had, but their defenses might have as well been fruits and vegetables.
How do you get from N = 1 to "so sure we can't extradite this guy to the US"?
Bradley Manning tortures himself. No surgery on earth can fix that.
What torture does the USG commit? Serve Moscow mules in a non-copper cup? Use bootstrap? What a bunch of snowflakes we are! I say that in the sense of how outrageously sensitive we are about everything.
Why should.NET developers know how to do that? A lot of SW doesn't run in places with security confederation and that subject wasn't taught in either my grad or undergrad classes. In cases where it is desired I can see how that would be a practical advantage for the business, but why would you think.NET developers are complacent about this?
Given that 50% of SW devs live in fear of age discrimination, I'm not sure how much complacency is going on.
The Alex Jones sorts? Like there is more than one person like that guy?
I never heard of him until Meghan Kelly interviewed him on NBC (or whatever MSM thing she's on these days).
To say that there are enough Alex Jones like people in the world that it should have its own genre is disturbing and very different from what I've seen out there.
The people of San Jose wisely understand the importance of using government resources to spread marxism into every last conceivable part of public policy.

"If you're explaining ... you're losing"
Like Judas kissing Jesus, I can't convey how much it makes me cringe to read you refer favorably to Jesus as a social justice warrior.
Jesus wasn't trying to help society or even advocating on its behalf. He was helping his neighbor and commanded his followers to follow his example.

Whoops ... an institutionalized double-standard.
Exactly. In Desert Storm I thought, "Whoa! We're out gunned !! We're going to be the personal property of an Arab nation that hates us !!"
;)
But I was in the 3rd grade, so cut me some slack

The study just confirms its own presuppositions (i.e. which articles they declared as fake news)
As Mark Twain noted, a bigot is just someone who disagrees with you.

I hear companies complain they spend $$$ on training and then their guy splits after 1.5 yrs (average for tech workers).
I'm sympathetic up until they don't let people self-train on the job. Spare me the crocodile tears, please.
This is different from "must be young"?

Why should

The fact that Python is so preferred by devs means you're having to compete against more people for it.
I seriously doubt Python qualifies as "most difficult it hire".
I saw a job posting for an experienced .NET developer.
The position literally paid BELOW Walmart greeter hourly.
This judge is a troll and fabricating a caricature of the US.

A closet full of laptop batteries are going to be cheap and easy to produce?
Tell me more !!
COMPETITION .. ??!!
Taking tax payer money and funneling it into an eternal government 5G program is NOT COMPETITION!
Competition means get quality-blind, unlimited government resources out of that thing.
You're talking about the FCC guy, right? This looks like a gov power grab Trump is proposing.
XD ... ya, I guess that's already been done
First of all ... are you comparing the protection of US citizens from the armies of the world to space sight seeing? Tell me more!
... that is like 5% of the federal budget. What if someone took 5% of your annual salary from you? Would you call that petty cash?
Second of all
The people of San Jose wisely understand the importance of using government resources to spread marxism into every last conceivable part of public policy.
Why not save the DNC by breaking it up into 5 parts (just like the 2 parts right before the Civil War)?
Then we can save Hollywood by blowing that up into pieces also.
Teachers unions, CNN, the UN, the IRS, the FBI, and the NEA.
Don't forget NYU !
If you want to give preferential treatment to any ethnicity you are a racist.
Btw, you were the one who introduced ethnicity into the discussion. Own it.
