Too far north, they'd have to grow under lights. With expensive diesel generator power and legal pot, that's uneconomical. Rather they will buy in the untaxed shadow market for not quite legal pounds.
Oregon overgrows to the point they were dumping at $100/lb wholesale this year. Half the people I know who grew in CA have stopped, as they couldn't make it work at $400/lb wholesale.
I barely grew two pounds this year. Largely because I've got about a half pound of near pure honey oil in the freezer from last years crop. Personal use...
'The areas they actually cover' is the 80%, not the 20% left.
Also you are just wrong about that 80% being the same density. It is high enough that it gets served, but still _much_ lower than places like NYC, London, Tokyo or Hong Kong. Most people don't want to live, sitting in their neighbors laps.
Everybody good and experienced has seen it happen from the inside. The senior managers can't turn down any growth, so they hire seat warmers, completely fucking the teams. It all starts when they hire 'professional HR', that's the kiss of death.
The growth in business doesn't continue, but staff growth sure does. Soon the technical debt is unsupportable, the original good people are gone and the staff are all gaming some stupid metric.
My take: Keep growth at a level you can staff for without serious compromise. Unless you can get acquired in the next two years, then fuck those chumps, hire the seat warmers while looking for your next opportunity.
The companies are going to trial (that was a major fuckup). Big surprise, he actually has to present a case he thought was just a press release for credulous fools.
What other speculative fiction do you think people should treat as real world fact? Star Wars? Star Trek? Lost in Space? Space Balls? Heavy Metal? Green Mars? (in order of increasing preposterousness.)
SF authors have axes to grind. Move makers have eye candy to frame with 'story'.

Your's is the bogus argument.

Check your facts, Peter the Great ended serfdom in Russia.
The poor before and especially after the revolution dreamed of such a cushy deal.
Serfs were attached to the land and produced almost no economic surplus. Which is what the broken stat you started the argument with reflects.
You answer your own question. They cherry picked the start year.
Mexican inflation adjusted per capita income went from (about) $6k to $10k in 20 years, the previous doubling took about 35.
No developed nation has farmers working 10 acre plots. Those were bad jobs and were going away.
Hotel!=home.
I'll grant the Japanese and Chinese can and do live in tiny places, but the coffin model is for sleeping off a bender, after missing the last train.

Which is how you get companies that are scrum but _not_ agile.
Agile is a manifesto. It explicitly says 'people over process'. 99% of the time, scrum is a rigid process for half assed staff.
The whole thing is a cherry pick. What was happening in 1997 in SI valley? (First dotcom boom, seat warmers made six figures.)
Compare todays pay to 2001 and you get a very different answer.
NPC is just millenial for 'herp derp'. Nothing new about it, except the unhinged reaction it gets from derpers.
Arbitrage in that thin a market? Danger Will Robinson!
HFT doesn't really work when it takes an hour to clear a trade.
Electric cars have great torque.
You'll get to hear the tire noise, even louder. Traction control is easy to disable.
You will be enjoying smokey burnouts for your lifetime!
This isn't going to help you feel better.
Figure out what your problem is and deal with it. Hint: It's inside your head.
Suckers were lucky to get together with their money in the first place. Fuck em.
The unknown is how much of that volume are fake trades at fictitious prices between left and right pocket of some miner.
So does my muscle car. Learn to like it.
A nomination process was stolen. Many people care.
The companies are going to trial (that was a major fuckup). Big surprise, he actually has to present a case he thought was just a press release for credulous fools.
Angle of Attack? That's a pop star name?
The author is a grandmaster fluffer.
I don't think 'grandmaster' has meaning in Go...how many dan is that? What nations 'dan'?
Allegedly the Ruskys. More likely Seth Rich.
Seth Rich or Guccifer2, he's a hero in any case.
Design is ready, it just needs certification flights. Middle of next year IS close for these kinds of things.
What other speculative fiction do you think people should treat as real world fact? Star Wars? Star Trek? Lost in Space? Space Balls? Heavy Metal? Green Mars? (in order of increasing preposterousness.)

VR porn done.
Electric 'vaginers' done.
At this point it's just a quality question. 'She' just lays there...
