> Homelessness != Substance Use Disorder

True. But the Venn diagram overlaps a _lot_. If we magically solved homelessness for everyone with a substance-abuse problem, the people still left homeless would be the ones cities are already able to help.
I think you’re probably right, but even these people seem to be driven by efficiency or complacency. I’m not sure how else we end up with so many of these cases of negligence or misconduct and it never seems to be the system itself correcting these injustices, it’s always media attention, lawyer or organizations. I do understand there is probably a large confirmation bias on my part, but the lack of transparency in these organizations leave external sources as the only information available.

So, I'm looking at this image, and a handful of details strike me about the geography...

https://static01.nyt.com/images/2008/11/19/nyregion/18metroc...

The case was founded on claims by a witness:

The witness, who has not been identified, said
Corey Jones was arguing with the man and accused
him of being a “snitch.” A short time later, the
witness said, Corey handed Jason a gun, and Jason
fired shots, killing the man. A call to 911 was
made at 12:21 a.m., records show.

Based on the map, any of these data points have a yawning gulf of time between them. maybe an hour each.

None of those data points is really an hour from the other, as the crow flies. These a bike ride-able distances, within the time stamps given.

Not knowing any of the names involved, or having a substantial axe to grind, I can just look at those point on the map and say that it would be trivial to hand someone a metrocard and have them swipe it somewhere else, to construct an alibi, and then get it back to me after I'm done with a premeditated crime.

The MTA didn't show a video frame capture of any specific person in a particular place.

The check-cashing branch had the video still. But look at the time stamps. There was nearly a solid hour to displace, and have someone else fabricate the metrocard swipe. You know, maybe the kind of favor a girlfriend might carry out?

Really, there's only one crucial detail that forges the integrity of the evidence: The accused did not warily supply his own evidence. Someone else fished it out and asked questions.

The only thing that really lends credence to the extra facts is that the individual might not have opted to seal the alibi air tight of his own volition. The detail might have sat there unused, but for external, and (most-likely) objective advocacy. The trustworthy face of the former detective offering assistance.

But really, those metrocard swipes have all the integrity of a wi-fi IP address. Theoretically, a motivated individual could make a metrocard that contradicts real events.

It's really not more substantial than a thermal paper receipt.

Perhaps interesting on it's own. But only if incidental and used to support stronger facts.
This $40K doesn't include emergency medical services, private programs, federal & state programs. It's just the city budget for the homeless.

Any project should have metrics to judge its success and a reasonable budget to accomplish the goal. If you were given a budget of nearly $300M for 7,500 homeless, how would you decrease the number of homeless?
If you really think outliers take up the majority of the cost, how many homeless could you house with what budget?

I've worked for temp agencies. That is absolutely not the case. They don't care if you're over-qualified. If they think you're going to leave they're just not going to give you any temp to hire or long term roles. They'll still call you up when the convention center calls them up asking for bodies to serve food and sweep floors. If you are over-qualified then working for a temp can give you access to potential employers who (after you've shown them you're not a deadbeat while working as a temp) you can then approach about a direct hire position in something you're qualified for if they happen to have one available.
I think it was a "cost saving" proposal because the technical interviewer had already gone through the database nitty gritty.
nobody cares - they're not entitled to use your data the way they do
1. Blizzard uses torrents where people downloading the patch also act like P2P seeders (you can control the download/upload speeds).

2. Assets are bundled via the zip like mechanism, and individual "zone maps" are separated by hard loading screens. If you travel from 1 continent to another in WoW you get a had loading screen as assets are unloaded, and reloaded.

3. Which continent you log into is the only one you _need_ data for, so as you log in the client can prioritize certain assets higher then others.

4. Blizzard/Activision have a lot of experience with this. In 2008 blizzard had 10mil + players downloading 4GiB+ patches within 24hours so they've had a while to tune and make adjustments as this is part of their core customer experience.

5. Large publishers don't general optimize for this, because the people who whine about it largely already gave you their money and aren't likely to refund/return (in some avenues it is impossible).

Many large tech companies (like FAANG) have infrastructure/platform teams that are separate from whatever the business of the company happens to be (selling ads, streaming movies etc).

These numbers, in my opinion, are still reductionist and keep you away from a solution. A more telling statistic would be the purpose for which the oil is used in these countries. My guess is usage of palm oil in cosmetic products is much higher in western countries. These products would be so much easier to boycott and regulate than cooking oil.

That being said, it seems like India is working on adding duties to palm oil leading to an increase in domestic price. [0]

That article was pretty helpful. Now I am entering the rabbit hole of reading about 23andme data sharing.

What strikes me as interesting is their current business model: customers are paying them and answering their survey questions. That is quite brilliant, they get specifics about the people in their existing dataset, and once a critical statistical mass has been reached, they can find correlations between traits and genomic data.

I would be happy to voluntarily provide my time, effort and data towards medical research. While I don't have ethical problems right now (I don't expect a lot of privacy anyways), there is a small nagging fear that these things could bite me 20 years down the line when these genomic tests are much more sophisticated and I have already given them my genome. Small benign hypothetical example: I start seeing ads about cilantro on Facebook.

That fear was overpowered by my curiosity to learn about my genome. That's on me.

Bethesda has never released games that were complete. This is the worst of the lot, but Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 4 were all basically unplayable at launch. Some were unplayable after being fully patched years later and require fan-made patches. At this point, I don't get it.
Anecdotally, a couple of weeks ago I made a "budget" spreadsheet in google sheets and since then I've been getting the same youtube ad for a money management app, over and over again.

What are some examples of massive changes that started at the individual level?
I need help convincing people to make better consumer decisions (i.e. buying less meat, supporting ethical companies etc.) and often in my network I get the skeptical response of my personal decisions won't make that much of a difference, the companies/governments/institutions need to change. I can easily rip apart this argument on a intellectual level but wondering if anyone has any super cool/inspiring examples of massive world changes that started on the individual level, like a specific company that went out of business or a harmful activity that went out of common practice.

The article doesn't say anything about _why_ and _who_ made the order to sterilize the indigenous.

Hi,
this is an interesting project. It seems to be targeted for outdoor measurements. Do you know if this also suitable for indoor measurements (meaning if you want something for indoor air quality, would you measure the same things?)

I recently watched a video from dhh (https://youtu.be/MRqh8oLY7Ik) about air quality at home and was thinking if there was a nice diy solution for measuring it.
Figuring out if it's a crime, and which crime, is usually not splitting hairs.

I was thinking the same thing. Within all of the time frames, you could ride a bike from the check cashing spot, shoot the guy, get back on your bike or hop the turnstile at 4 train, ride it back up near 205th st, leave and immediately swipe back in, then go to 185th and hang out with your girlfriend.

Now, I'm inclined to believe this guy didn't do that, because he probably would have pushed a lot harder on it if this was his pre-planned alibi, but I was hoping for a story of complete vindication because of this kind of evidence - maybe more like the guy who was acquitted of murder because he was filmed in a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode.

You have a location in Denver and one in Boulder. Buy a billboard outside of each town, but outside of Denver put up a PSA and outside of Boulder put a real ad. Look at revenue growth between stores 1 year later and you can see the impact of a billboard.

Oversimplified of course, and this doesn't work with 2 locations, but with 200 you can start to make more solid conclusions.

Bethesda just makes buggy software, but as for comparing RDR2 with BOTW, I think the bugs in RDR2 would stem from it actually having stuff in it.

The thing is we aren't talking about writing "I can cook" on a tinder profile type cooking, we are talking about being able to replace a majority of that take out with cooking at home.

And I'm not talking about it being expensive in how everyone needs a Sous Vide. Cooking properly requires some things a lot of people don't have like access to a stove. If you take the bare necessities - which I would argue are a chefs knife for chopping, sauce pan, frying pan, a single burner hot plate, and probably you really want some form of oven, even if its just a convection.

Just those alone is several hundred dollars for even the most scrapyard worthy picks. Maybe you can get lucky and happen in to some deals. But probably the greatest premium is space - a lot of kids growing into the "don't ever cook" mentality are sacrificing having kitchen space whatsoever in their multi-tenant living arrangements and thus have no where to go with all this stuff.

And operating with such limiting tooling in my experience makes cooking feel hugely restrictive. Its already bad enough to be endeavoring to put in the work to make something yourself, but to consider it flawed from the outset because you don't have a pizza stone for your homemade pizza where your oven can't even reach a consistent 200c you easily deflate ones interest in learning it.

And saying its easy is also bad for anyone trying it out. It makes them feel worthless when they do struggle to dice vegetables the first hundred times until you develop the knack for it, or can't flip an omelette properly and end up with scrambled eggs. Because people on the Internet kept saying it was so easy.

Theres putting ham on bread and calling it a meal and theres the ability to take the bounty of nature and create a sensation that nothing else can produce out of it. If you tell people its satisfactory to just do the former and thats good enough you shouldn't be surprised when they stop trying and go out to eat all the time because they want the later. And there is no shortcut there - I constantly strive to cook new things because I want to get better at it and have for a decade now, and I like to push myself in making complicated dishes to experience new things, but I'd never ever risk someones intrigue in the culinary arts by saying its easy.

Have you ever spent any money on something that would make you feel less awkward that you could've donated to help feed the hungry?

Have you ever spent money eating out when you could've saved money by cooking and donated the difference to feed the hungry?

Hi, I'm not sure where you get that "All previous states do need to be kept if you aim to audit the chain..." but you are wrong.

We only need to keep the blocks with the transactions which are replayed every time you sync a new node and all (edit: intermediate) state transitions are re-created from the genesis file until today.

For most cases, the cryptographic guarantees you can get synching only the block headers as a SPV node are strong enough.

Think of it this way, let's say you are obligated to carry 1 valid photo ID with you. Would you carry only the latest and valid version or would you carry every single issue of, let's say, your passport?

Speaking of perspective, Visa exists since the late 50s and Ethereum for about 5 years. The next iteration of the network will be focused on scalability and privacy technologies and we will surpass the 1000 tps on-chain and have the off-chain capability for millions of tps.
