It seems to me the way it would work in practice, is that they’ll probably have to give people in SF higher titles? Mostly hire people with senior pay bands in high CoL areas, and if those pay bands are competitive with the other offers they get (which may be less senior) then it works?

That would be the definition of it not working.

This HN post causing 1000 people around the globe to apply is what it means for it to work.

People in SF with high COL probably will not apply. Unless they intend to move as soon as they get the job.

I don’t disagree; just, I have seen talent hired at higher levels simply to justify the salary band and not because of the work and it seems like an easy escape hatch from this when recruiters want talent in competitive markets.

Ah yes, introduce rules and people bend them to meet their targets.
