> don't choose to have kids when you're making $9/hour or have a chaotic domestic life

Often the choice to have kids is at a more stable point and then things go downhill.
Man, this is infuriating. Had this been happening in a welfare state such as in most European countries, your family would have kept a roof above their head thanks to proper public housing, and your parents would have received enough money to serve their kids 3 meals a days. Not saying that's living the life, but people in the US just don't understand that stories like yours do NOT have to happen.

Several semesters of theory is completely normal, but is not the same thing as 4-5 classes on algorithms. I had Discrete Math, Algorithms, and Formal Languages, all purely proof-based. Still, those were 3 courses out of 18 in my major. HN's perception that CS programs are mostly or entirely algorithms classes is baffling to me.
If you watch the video, the bootup time of the distro involved is significantly less than one minute - more like 10 seconds in fact.

> myriad other factors have helped make affordable housing nearly non existent

That's quite a blanket statement for the entire US. Can we confidently claim that no affordable housing whatsoever exists in Detroit, Baltimore, rural Pennsylvania, non-metropolitan Texas, or Midwestern states, where in some places http://freelandks.com/ one can still get free land?

The problem seems to arise when everybody is vying for roughly the same space - large coastal cities with mild weather, proximity to public transportation, beaches, decent restaurants, some entertainment scene, job growth and economic prospects.

Same coastal cities also seem to be earthquake-prone and therefore require more expensive (than aforementioned Midwestern states) building codes and safety regulations. As the cities are dense, there's a set of regulations in regards to mandatory parking, green zones and other stuff that's just peculiar to large cities. Combined with higher than average cost of labor, the construction and compliance costs alone command a premium, and that's before we get into land prices.

> 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 believe he was making the argument that, due to principles of individual liberty, the government cannot compel someone who wants to be homeless not to be.
For me is just annoying small issues like when I listen to music and get a notification from another app suddenly the volume doesn't go up as high anymore and stays low until you reboot the phone. Or that when I'm on Bluetooth it will mess with the wifi and you need to disconnect and reconnect to make it work.

I also really dislike (maybe this is just me) that I can't deal with files as files on an iPhone. I can't just move an mp3 or an ebook to the memory, find it via an app and open it. It feels so locked it.

Also time precision is up to even seconds (i.e. it can not store file stamp 'modified at 10:00:01')
This has been really questioned, and I think largely debunked.

The "effect" shown in the study that demonstrated this was probably caused by batching of certain kinds of defendants/cases by time of day, e.g. put the longest (most difficult) cases first, then have a bunch of easy no decisions right before the break. (That's not what really happens, it's just an example, I don't remember what really happens).
I agree - the algorithms whiteboard interview is a distinct skill for which a CS degree is neither necessary nor sufficient.
Getting over the guards with shotguns at the ATMs took a little time, but not much (I grew up in a bad urban area of a Midwestern city).

Getting over the theft and such, a little while still. But I started figuring out the usual scams and such. (Taxis still only cost $1 at the most, with no tipping expected, anyway.)

I even was able to mostly get over the fact that when you drove 5 km outside of the city that I'd see abject poverty that I hadn't even seen in the worst areas of my rust belt city - stuff that makes this article look like absolutely nothing.

It was a chronic thing: Ex-pats all living inside a literal walled garden, getting everything delivered. This was before Uber Eats and the like, so getting McDonalds and other fast food delivered to the complex was a new thing. Groceries, food, entertainment. And then the constant trips to Hotel del Rey and the Blue Marlin Bar so my co-workers could pick up prostitutes on the cheap with rooms available for rent by the hour...

What I realized slowly over a period of a few months is that it wasn't the insane poverty - and relatively low violent crime rate! - that got to me. It was what we were doing to "gentrify" the area. It felt like, and was, pure exploitation and taking advantage of massive economic gradients. That we worked in tech and could sling some code made us masters of our domain, being paid well-above-average wages for Silicon Valley - and literally unheard of sums in Costa Rica.

We've met the enemy, and it was us.
Maybe don't choose to have kids when you're making $9/hour or have a chaotic domestic life?

Most children aren't actually planned. They occur because mother nature has spent millions of years perfecting the art of tricking people into liking sex.

Or, as I sometimes say, our genes are like virii: They don't care how miserable they make you in their quest to reproduce themselves. Coincidentally, genes and viruses are both made of RNA at their root (DNA being two RNA, basically).

In my experience the books tend to have some pages which are always shown in the preview, some pages which appear never to be viewable in preview mode, and some pages which you may be able to preview if you have not reached your limit.

Funnily enough this is a strategy I’ve been using for years.

At University I used to wait a while for others to complete their projects and then pick their brains about how they went about solving them.

Now in industry I don’t bother learning new tech until I start seeing those skills show up on job sites or if I have a very particular need that requires a particular technology as part of the solution.

This strategy has treated me well but I believe has only done so because not everyone takes this approach. I’m also grateful for the time and effort others put in to allow me to essentially freeload off of their hard work. Every now and then I do find something I can be truly passionate about to help others do the same.

I switched from using Arduinos to using ESP8266-based devices, partly for cost reasons, but also to gain the on-board WiFi support.

Having a small device with WiFi makes it a lot easier to do interesting things - such as pulling data via Web-based APIs, and submitting readings of sensors to MQ, etc.

Having a "real computer", like a PI, or a blue-pill is nice, but suddenly there is a lot more to think about.
As opposed to giving it to defense contractors or farm subsidies. It's funny how conservatives only focus on tax dollars going to the poor.
Or maybe, try to keep these things out of the court system.

If people have less than say 5k in assets just block any sort of wage garnishing, etc.. and dismiss the case. Forbid collection of debt, etc. And put the burden of proof onto the collector.

We shouldn't allow debt collectors to take the clothes of peoples back, why should we allow debt collectors to take the last dollar.

I'm not saying this is the only solution, just one of many. The point keep poor people out of the court system, they can't pay anyways, what's the point?
But if a would be problem solver is not psychologically optimistic...what happens to the odds that the problem will be solved?
On the flip side, I have never experienced poverty, and don't have the motivation of "looking into oblivion" to push me into another dead-end job.

But does that mean I deserve that experience? Should I be put in a situation where I have to fight to survive? I think that is unreasonable.

There exist better motivations. I am capable of work that is much more attractive to me than entry-level labor jobs. The idea that I am less valuable as a person because I am dependent; or that I ought to be compelled by my social situation to do stressful unfulfilling work does not sit well with me. That is where I strongly disagree with Sen. Hatch.

We are capable as a society of helping more than the most destitute. We should promote individual liberty, so that people can do work they are passionate about. I don't believe that those living on welfare should be compelled to do work that they have no desire to do. We should instead work to provide them opportunity and counsel so that they can find their passion and follow it.

Taxation is theft, but the current Republican party (including Sen. Hatch) has used that as an excuse to push an agenda that works against those who are barely getting by, while working for those who have inherited obscene amounts of wealth. That, in my opinion, is worse than the theft itself.

That's a blanket statement rooted in more than 3 years of researching where in hell I could move to get myself off the street. It is also rooted in formal education and other research because I wanted to be an urban planner before life got in the way.

In the 1950s, the average new home was about 1200 sqft and held about 3.5 people. Today, it is over 2400 sqft and contains about 2.5 people. Meanwhile, we tore down something like 80 percent of our Single Room Occupancy units over the course of a couple of decades.

The lack of affordable housing has been severe and growing worse for decades. This is why waiting lists for Section 8 housing is routinely measured in multiple years or even more than a decade in some cases.

I will add that these comments about "It is just big cities that have expensive housing" are a red herring. That's where the jobs are. If you have no job, you can't afford a place to live. Jobs in small towns typically pay less. Moving someplace cheaper works for the privileged few with portable income and/or passive income. People who still need to work for a living cannot magically solve their problems by moving someplace cheaper.
> I've written before about how you can sometimes infer the size of a password in a HTML form submitted over an otherwise fully secure, correctly implemented SSL (HTTPS) connection.

Good catch. Interesting, but obvious once you think about it. Not really a danger for properly chose passwords/passphrases (the search space would still be too large for brute forcing) but it would highlight where a brute force attempt is worth trying.

I might have to add an extra (hidden) input to all our authentication pages programatically filled with random characters up to a length of 1024 minute the length of the entered password.
If we go by anecdotes, I knew only two persons who switched careers at mid life successfully: one was a woman and the other a man and both had a spouse who brought decent money to the household and was supportive.

Definitely, this said I won't call basic income charity. The difference is that charity is not a right but BI is. The same way when big corporations receive millions and millions of dollars in government subsidies they don't "feel" it as charity.

That's great for material that's public domain or out of copyright, but the Authors Guild settlement could have digitized and made accessible orphan works that are still under copyright. It would have complemented the public domain projects, not supplanted them.

But instead academic opponents of the deal seriously thought they would have better luck pursuing copyright reform in Congress (!), and helped kill the settlement. Of course, in reality Congress did no such thing, and so the chance to rescue orphan works was lost.
Humanity lived through mane wars. The ones you are talking about happened more than one hundred and more than seventy years ago. That's generations.
except that most of those trips are pooled; the grocery picker (I use amazon fresh, but have used the Safeway delivery in the past, but the same idea applies to both... the insticart model may be different, but I haven't used them.) makes a bunch of deliveries in one trip. That should be lots more efficient than me driving to the store and back for just my groceries.

Same with taking one of the pool mode rideshares to or from work; they often pick up a few other people going the same direction (which, I hope, offsets the "drive to pick me up" issue

I mean, clearly if I'm not using the pool mode, (and I often don't in the mornings, when I'm late) then yeah, I'm creating more traffic (but using less parking) because they need to drive to pick me up... but in high density areas, the pickups are pretty fast; there's usually someone fairly nearby when I want them where I am.
> The people who publicly offer assistance usually wind up really pissed off at me if I rudely try to take them up on it.

And goodness forbid you need more than the bare essentials, like a car, home, etc.
Seattle is especially bad in newer areas like SLU, where they could have made it pedestrian/bike friendly. Instead, they put in wide/American-style roads, car-focussed traffic lights (with short pedestrian crossing times that only trigger when you press a button, even on the busiest streets), and barely any new public transport. That, and every shitty construction site is happy to block the sidewalk, so good luck walking two blocks without having to cross over.

Anyway, transport-wise it looks and feels like any other American city, which is a shame. (I mean it's not LA-levels of bad, but that's not an achievement.)
Probably because it’s a ridiculously trivial problem in the context of the full seriousness of climate change.
That's undefined behaviour then, right? Even if it's not the sane behaviour.

I imagine that might be reason enough for them to treat it as a low-priority.
If just 10,000 more minimal housing units ( think a barebones efficiency suitable for a single adult ) had been built in the Bay Area in each of the past ten year there would be no housing crisis as such.

This would have been easily doable. Hell if the political will were there building that many units in a year would be feasible.

But you can't zone that, you can't mandate it. You can't grant easements; you can't even used condemned public property.

Because our political system has been captured by greedy bastards like Vhinod Khosla and Donald Trump.

Similarly, I find it "funny" (tragicomical) when poor Americans lists expenses and then complain about how much income tax they pay.

To be fair, the poor have a high tax burden in the US compared to other industrialized countries. And they get fairly little for their taxes... Still an Uber driver who complains about taxes being high is sad, because lower taxes will only hurt him.

The economically disadvantaged are the easiest to help as they cling to every opportunity to get their life back in shape.

But then you have the mentally ill, mentally disturbed, drug addicts and the criminals to abet them. A coordinator for a local charity in Santa Ana had a post on a local NextDoor mentioning that their charity was running below capacity. Few reasons people would refuse any help and continue tenting by the river included:

* general requirement by the charities to have drug- (which includes alcohol-) free zones

* people didn't want to be "in the system" whatever that meant, many did not want to be tracked by government or agency of any sort

* some homeless objected to the religious nature of some charities

* for some easy access to drugs was paramount (and concentrated encampments enable this to great degree)

* other mental issues

Not sure these can all be solved by more money.

Not really in actual, regular, uninterrupted practice. There are so many problems with the US healthcare system at every level of it when you have excellent health insurance, especially in terms of regular maintenence medication for something as garden variety as asthma, that when you get down to the level of real emergency help absolutely medically required, it is usually a severely delayed and often interrupted swampy mess. I've been at both ends of this spectrum of care. Both are unreliable, but obviously, it is far worse-- a nightmare of indifference really, at the bottom. And many meds (like inhalers even) require ridiculously expensive, regular tests. The homeless and impoverished are often given less effective medication or ineffective medication to treat serious ongoing conditions.
Someone else could've said that having a roof over one's head, a computer and a fast internet connection are laughable suggestions - why would you care about them, when you can spend money on traveling around the world and the internet connection is usually all over the places for free?

I actually worry about not having enough vacation, because experiencing other people's cultures and mindsets are the most important things to me. What else would I really need?

To each his own. Some people care about looking good or commuting comfortably. Most people exaggerate these costs - that's another matter.
And to do that, they would need immediate stable income, or enough capital to live on until they found it. Probably both.

That is the whole point: no one in this situation has either of these things. That is the group of people Sen. Hatch thinks does not deserve financial help.

I don't understand how you can hold this view in light of what you said before that paragraph. How do you suppose we come up with creative solutions to social problems, and of helping the destitute and others, without any wealth or income? Our taxes are what fund those programs.
Why did you start with such an expensive bed? I've bought 5 beds so far in my life and I've never spent that much. I probably have spent 500$ (mattress+frame+comforter+...) for my last bed and that was the most expensive one I ever bought.
I'm of the opinion that all of life on Earth evolved over a long period of time to match the more or less steady state environment.

When you go and disturb that steady state by say releasing a million years worth of carbon sequestration over a century, you destabilize the whole thing.

Like a top spinning it all of a sudden collapses. And then humans realize that we were really just along for the ride & do not have a chance to re-stabilize.
