If I shop at Wal Mart, I'm importing poverty into my neighborhood. If I shop at Amazon, I'm exporting the poverty to shitholes like Arizona. That's a big win.
I find it interesting that you think Silicon Valley is the epicenter of engineering. The US has plenty of room and talent to sustain several tech hubs. Austin, Seattle, San Diego, D.C., etc.
My guess is the people who know what they're doing at Qualcomm are largely in divisions not seeing major cuts. Qualcomm continues to be at the cutting edge in mobile and wireless, and is helping lead development on 5g.
My guess is those wireless network engineers aren't the ones being cut. Qualcomm hires hordes of tech people just to keep their business "organized". They could easily be cutting 1,200 business analysts, sys admins, middle tech management, etc.
There were a variety of network stacks and at least one of them was required for the WWW. HTTP as a goal may be obvious, but it takes a shit ton of work to create a global standard that everyone can use. It was the complete snythesis of these components that brought us the WWW. Hyperlinking is obvious. Networking is obvious. HTTP is obvious. Then where the was the WWW? Shouldn't it have miraculously invented itself through its own powers of obviousness?
Not all languages can be parsed with Bison. Not all language features are clearly supported by LLVM. For some, self-hosting is important. Some people want to tweak a few things with their new language. Others want to rethink everything.
Hyperlinking is one part of what makes the WWW possible. TCP/IP, HTTP, etc. are all critical components. Despite those earlier examples of hyperlinking, they did not lead to anything remotely resembling a global inter-network of linked servers.
They may not vote to deforest Montana, but they could easily pass envirnonment protection laws that hurt regional economies. Especially as a competitive advantage so that CA companies don't have to compete with companies run under lower standards.
You seem to be misunderstanding the dynamics of CA lawmaking. The disfunction stems from populist approach of direct democracy, not from the single party. The partisan politics is simply shifted to be between the progressives and the liberals, rather than the Democrats and Republicans. The checks and balances are still there. But they can't make up for a system in which voters can decide to both increase government services and not pay for them.
If it gets split into three states, there might be more Republicans in Congress, but it would also create four entirely new Senate seats, with at least three likely to be Democrat. Strategically, it's not a good deal for GOP unless they are extremely confident in taking at least half the new Senate seats.
Draper's split doesn't seem to make that likely. I would imagine California and North California will still be solidly blue, while South California has some potential to pull a single seat in some elections.
It might benefit Republicans. I don't have the exact demographics breakdown of where he wants to place South California, but it does not seem improbable that would become a red state, with only San Diego holding out blue.
Can't find anything directly spelling it out, but the company hired to gather signatures, APC, apparently has an illustrious history of misleading people into signing petitions.
You seem to have misunderstood. I'm not talking about the best AVERAGE care. I'm talking about the best care PERIOD. I'm talking about cost-is-no-object healthcare.

Because shenanigans aren't illegal.
You fucking kidding me? The first thing any of those red state governors do is declare state of emergency to unlock federal funds.
Dipshit.

Less traffic at the 5/8 split! Woohoo!
...but commenting on /. is social media.
You sound like someone who only speaks English as a second language or has no critical reading skills.

I'm sorry your pedant cap has confused you from understanding English.
How are those four new Democrat senators going to help the GOP? Are a few more seats in Congress worth it?
...while providing welfare for red states in the form of federal/state imbalances.
Texans will break it up as soon as the secede.

No one does. It's just way too complex.

In other words, the distinction is between the "best healthcare" (US) and the "best healthcare system" (Nords)
