    1. But when tens of thousands of Great Plains migrants arrived, Californiawas far from the promised land. One migrant said, “They told me thiswas the land o’ milk an’ honey, but Ah guess the cow’s gone dry, and thetumblebugs has got in the beehive.” There wasn’t enough work to go around,and the oversupply of labor pushed wages even lower. With little money tobe made, the migrants settled into tents and make-shift communities alongirrigation ditches. Native Californians looked down on these poverty-strickennewcomers, with one grower exclaiming, “This isn’t a migration—it’s aninvasion! They’re worse than a plague of locusts!”19 The migrants moved on,following the oranges, the potatoes, the peas, whatever crops were ready forpicking, working for unsustainable wages
    2. Although some immigrants welcomed assimilation as a way of fittingin, others resisted the patronizing reform efforts. Italian immigrants inparticular had little interest in cooking instruction even as they attendedsettlement house classes and clubs on other subjects.

      Resistance from the immigrants to the forced cultural assimilations, cling to their traditional foods

    1. While that change fixes the issue, there’s a production outage waiting to happen. When the schema change is applied, the existing GetUserActions query will begin to fail. The correct way to fix this is to deploy the updated query before applying the schema migration. sqlc verify was designed to catch these types of problems. It ensures migrations are safe to deploy by sending your current schema and queries to sqlc cloud. There, we run your existing queries against your new schema changes to find any issues.

    1. In 2013, Al-Jallad used the Safaitic database as he worked on an inscription containing several mysterious words: Maleh, Dhakar, and Amet. Earlier scholars had assumed that they were the names of unknown places. Al-Jallad, unconvinced, searched the database and discovered another inscription that contained all three. Both inscriptions discussed migrations in search of water, and a possibility occurred to him: if the words referred to seasons of migration, then they might be the names of constellations visible at those times.

    1. Finally, statistics should reinforce the fact that any patterning found cannot be explained as accidental.

      It is possible that the variations in patterning may tell us about the relative timing of the data. Perhaps the earliest data points may have been anecdotal evidence that was improved over time.

      Of course it could be the case that migrations, births, etc. may have shifted somewhat over time.

      What does the general climate data from these areas and this time period show? Is there variability in this time period?

    1. Jesse Keenan, an urban-planning and climate-change specialist then at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, who advises the federal Commodity Futures Trading Commission on market hazards from climate change. Keenan, who is now an associate professor of real estate at Tulane University’s School of Architecture, had been in the news last year for projecting where people might move to — suggesting that Duluth, Minnesota, for instance, should brace for a coming real estate boom as climate migrants move north.

      Why can't we project additional places like this and begin investing in infrastructure and growth in those places?
