My version of this thread:
In DC, the culture was forged by watching solvable problems prove impossible to solve.
In SV, the culture was forged by watching (seemingly) impossible problems get (seemingly) solved.
Both places overlearned their experience.

The differences between New York and Silicon Valley business culture continue to astonish me, almost 15 years after moving to San Francisco.
I've seen the game in both places, and, to caricature a few differences, with as much truth as possible...

#ConsumerSolar is under attack by PG&E and other utilities in California. Keeping solar affordable so more people can get it is critical to reducing climate change and pollution across the state. Please sign this petition to Gov. Newsom!bit.ly/savecasolar #savecasolar

@NateSilver538 We don't have primary Omicron infection sera to test against Delta. But we will soon observe degree to which Omicron infection blunts Delta at individual and population level (via secondary infections). But in general, my expectation for cross-immunity is symmetrical.

If you were to go into your bank account, digitally increase your balance, and then use that new balance to buy things, it would be called fraud.
When the Federal Reserve does that, it is called monetary policy.
