I didn't actually feel "homeless" in a bad way. Someone we knew usually had a place where we could crash. And some source of food and money. Weed and LSD were always available, and sometimes psilocybe and peyote. But then, this was decades ago, before "homelessness" became a thing.
I once started building a web application based on SVG, but if I remember correctly I gave up because it was harder to debug JavaScript running inside of an SVG compared to JavaScript running from HTML.

The thing I was trying to build was a graph drawing tool, so that’s why I figured SVG made sense.

It was quite a while ago though and I am much more experienced now than I was back then so maybe I could have pulled it off better now but honestly I don’t see a reason to try. If I were to make my graph editor tool I’d just build it as a regular web app now. I might still utilize SVG, or I might do it with canvas but either way I wouldn’t do it with the JavaScript running inside of the SVG this time I think.
For me, the answer would be that in the midwest I have to work for 5-10 extra years. Marginal QoL improvement while doing my 40/wk is less important than accumulating enough to quit the grind.

I'd not do SFBA, but other coastal cities with less severe CoL differences pay substantially better than the midwest. You won't be house rich, but you'll be actually rich. And that equals retirement.
Another dampening mechanism. It turns out burning all that fossel fuel dims the sky. So while we made it hotter , we also have been cooling. Which means when we get off fossil fuels, the earth will warm faster and all that built up CO2 will reach it's full warming potential.
I have very often thought what would happen if I was to suddenly come into a substantial amount of wealth and this is what I would do with a no holds barred method of paying skilled people to do cool things that they do not have the money to do otherwise. There are incredibly talented people that if given 20k to make their Magnus opus they would make the most breathtaking and increadible stuff imagined.

To become a senior executive at a large company you have no choice but to stop doing real work and devote your time 100% to internal politics, because you are competing for a limited number of promotions with people who will do that. The real work skills of a “heavy hitter” atrophied long ago... and all the politics of their former employer won’t help them in their new job unless they can import all their cronies too... basically there is NO reason to ever hire one of these types.

> I havn't looked at it recently, but it used to be the case that hosting user submitted SVGs on your domain could yield JS-execution in the origin context.

Oh definitely, though that's more an administrative problem than a platform problem. Webmasters (or whoever that task falls to today) must understand that SVGs are exactly as dangerous as HTML files in exactly the same ways. Where you would sanitize user-provided HTML, you must also sanitize user-provided SVG.

No. "60% of the national median" is not the same thing as fixing a percentile, and it is perfectly possible to not have poverty under that definition.

For example, in a country with ten people whose incomes are 7, 7, 8, 8, 10, 10, 12, 50, 47212 and 4000000000000000, there is no poverty after that definition (the median would be 10). As you can see, it doesn't even need to be a very egalitarian society!
Possibly, but a pretty obvious retort is that it's necessarily complex; there is nothing else to do all the things that it does. Whereas for BIOS and EFI the argument would be that they should do as little as possible to hand over to the real operating system.

I live in Lyon and I use (and love) the Velov system of docked bikes here. I was interested when the Gobee bikes arrived not too long ago and spotted a few around the city, but the convenience and numerical advantage of the Velov bikes meant I didn’t give them a try.

Velov works really well but there is a trade off. The local government gives away the rights to all the external advertising in the city to the company behind the Velov bikes. The company provides the bikes and, in turn, gets to on sell the advertising space on bus shelters, outdoor signs, pretty much everywhere in the city it seems. A little bit of competition would not be a bad thing, I think, though it would be hard for any competitor to overcome the advantages that a big advertising company like JCD has in terms of their revenues from the signage.
The landslides taking out various mountain roads every few years says otherwise. A single two hundred foot section of road recently got an expedited replacement so it cost 10 million dollars to fix and that was just a two lane low traffic road.

Where have you seen the poor and homeless treated better? It's a hard problem to solve, even by throwing a lot of money at the problem. Part of the problem is that some people want to be homeless (for a variety of reasons (or a combination of reasons) like not losing their independence, not trusting the system, wanting to continue a drug/alcohol habit, bad experiences with the system previously, mental illness, etc).

In a country that values individual rights, it's not clear how you help that person get off the streets without forcing them. In a city with relatively mild climate like LA or SF, it's even harder to get the homeless into shelters where social services can more effectively help them.

Granted, there are plenty of people that do want to get off the streets, but not everyone living on the streets is willing to make the sacrifices to do so.
Maybe I read it wrong. Pregnancy and menstruation are alternate endings for the cycle. So, as GP said, a woman could theoretically get pregnant on her first cycle, without menstruating.

Any decent algorithm here would be tailored to give rebates to anyone they can reliably pin an identity to, and only if that identity is also known to be price sensitive.

Anyone they can't identify reliably they'd want to charge the most expensive price. Meaning that only would you need to hide your identity, you'd have to manufacture or hijack a completely different identity.

Because they'll know with what confidence they have your identity pinned. You better use a small number of IP numbers for the same credit card, and they better not be known TOR nodes. They better find their tracking cookies in your session or their confidencie in your identity will rank as 0% and your price will be the default no-rebate price and so on.

An even simpler trick would be to "log in to get the best deals". Crap prices shown until you log in, and after that, some customers will see rebates, and others will not. But at that point you are completely known.
The proportion of the global population living on less than $1.90 per person per day has fallen—from 18 percent in 2008 to 11 percent in 2013, according to the World Bank. In the United States, however, the poverty rate has been more stubborn—41 million people lived below the country’s poverty line in 2016, about 13 percent of the population, nearly the same rate as in 2007.

Is this a fair comparison? I thought that the poverty line in the US was defined relative to median income. If the definition is changed to $X per day after inflation then maybe the US doesn't look so bad?

Also I would like to see some kind of adjustment for immigration. Imagine that the US lifts 10 million citizens out of poverty and at the same time accepts 10 million poor immigrants. Is it fair to say the US has made no progress on poverty?

Thanks for sharing this. I'll never forget reading Speak Memory. (!) The opening sentences or somewhere near the opening ones concerned Nabokov's meditation on death and birth and how alike they are. He talked about how strange it is that before we are born, we aren't missed because we aren't yet there. He goes into the feeling of thinking about this in a dreamlike manner and there are several dreamy passages throughout the book. I agree it was his best one. Thinking about him reading a corny dream book and being taken in by it a bit humanizes him. Great article.
What I learned from an old GitHub project that won 3,000 Stars in a Week
Hospitals have needs that hotels don't from the ground up. They have different architecture, interior design, and HVAC needs, they have different real estate needs, they need to be robust to natural disasters, they maintain services like ambulances and a vast records and bookkeeping system. Sanitation requirements are much higher, there's no reason to assume costs there scale linearly - think about night shifts. Hospital workers usually are more unionized than hotel workers (should a hotel room be <$100 a night?). I believe nurses do a lot of work that lower trained/skilled/paid workers would do in a hotel.

Then you can start throwing in the inflated costs due to the American insurance system, the higher liability hospitals have compared to hotels, and other factors. I'm sure people more familiar with the medical profession could add even more exacerbating factors that I don't know about. All of this isn't to say that the hospital or healthcare system isn't inefficient, but simply that hospitals and hotels are apples and oranges.

This comment implies that these companies going out of business would be a bad thing. In the short term, definitely.

But jobs are just means to an end for most people. Why can't government aim to simply provide those ends?

The obvious counterargument is that the free market is more efficient. But the US government has shown itself to be very capable in providing some services to the entire country. The military has done a great job keep the country safe. There just doesn't seem to be the willpower to create the navy/army/airforce of food, shelter, healthcare and education.

I guess the issue is that it's hard to get elected if you promise to make things better 20 years from now.
Not exactly - the bigger problem is that all the republicans controlled midwestern states are shitty economies and so people move to places where they hear that people can get jobs (functioning liberal states) and when that doesn't work out they end up homeless in the new city. (Various polls of homeless people in Seattle have found that most of them were already in the area immediately before they became homeless).

Please don't just downplay such an event if you don't know anything about it. This temperature measurement may not be completely unprecedented, but as DMI write about it:

Plus degrees are unusual
DMI has measurements from Kap Morris Jesup back to 1980, and reveals that in February, above zero degrees are definitely not usual at the world's northernmost land-based measurement station. In fact, DMI has only twice previously measured similar high temperatures. The first time was in 2011. Second time last year; ie in 2017. Both times, "føhn"-winds may have contributed to the high temperatures.

I had to look up what Upday is. It's not installed on my S8, although I could download it from the play store. If you don't like it just uninstall it.

Samsung Pay isn't available in Norway, so I don't have it on my phone either. So I guess you could always disable it.

And the Samsung account... Well, it's the same as a Google account. The system is going to complain if you don't have one. Otherwise disable all the Samsung stuff.
> Where have you seen the poor and homeless treated better?

In most countries with functional social security networks. Canada, Germany and Sweden.

So while the above are leaps and bounds better, they aren't flawless. Canada has lots of mentally ill people on the streets due to _very_ poor mental health care available to them.
And Germany and Sweden have people from Romania begging on the streets, since they're part of a group of people that have been historically (and currently are) mistreated in their homeland.

> In a country that values individual rights..

If you want people off the streets, offer them free housing.
There is even (and remarkably so) an example of this from Utah, where free housing was provided to the ones in need. And the city saved money doing it, since fewer other services were needed as a result.

Also, separately, I find this argument to be a bit of a straw man, since the treating homeless people decently and having strong individual rights aren't fundamentally opposed.
In America some things are done well collectively, in the interest of everyone, like providing roads.

I hadn't previously looked at lattice crypto in much detail, and was not aware the keys were as big as they are; thanks for pointing that out. That said, a big performance hit isn't necessarily the same thing as being practically unusable. It certainly explains why nobody's using it now. I'd be curious to read some concrete performance analyses.

A sibling comment points out one use case for symmetric-only crypto.

I'm also curious what people would actually do if forced to deal with a symmetric-only world.

I think it is more likely that we'd see cumbersome ways of dealing with key distribution than that people would just stop using crypto in all the places we rely on public key schemes today. Think symmetric keys printed on your bank statement (maybe with a qr code?) We'd definitely see it used a lot less than now.

That said, we'd probably have about the same number of people doing end to end email encryption; key distribution with an asymmetric scheme is no picnic either :P.
I can really recommend getting a Sony Xperia, especially the XZ1 which I just recently bought for myself. It has an SD card slot, a 3.5mm jack, it runs Android Oreo with very little bloat and feels like stock Android. The camera is great and can do the exact same super slow mo as samsung is advertising with the S9. The fingerprint sensor and lock button are the same and perfectly placed at the side of the phone. The battery life is also really great, now when my phone is new it lasts me almost 2 days with normal use. And relatively cheap for being a flagship. It's hard to understand why Sony phones get constantly overlooked.
I don't understand how that's not the case today. I grant you that there are a small percentage of folks who in such a disadvantaged position where this wouldn't be possible, but a lot more could follow this advice and get ahead: learn how to code. That could take a number of forms, whether it's online training, coding bootcamps (some of which are free until you land a job), or studying computer science in college / community college.
