Homelessness would never be "solved" completely, by market or government, as there are always going to be people who transition into homelessness for unexpected/emergency reasons. Would a market prevent tenuous financial situations, broken family ties, substance use disorders, schizophrenia, PTSD, domestic violence, intimate partner violence? The causes of homelessness are too multi-factorial and hard to prevent, I think the best we can do is a dramatic reduction, not a complete solution.

In my opinion, to solve all of these predisposing/causative factors, we'd need a much much stronger healthcare system, and probably UBI or a strong welfare system, to cover all the above scenarios. Even so, good healthcare and welfare won't matter that much in acute emergency scenarios, for that we need vigilance and persistence and unrelenting altruism.

You will never be able to know the future, you can only make decisions based on information available now.
You realize that it is possible to pay for water infrastructure from taxes, without directly charging for water usage, right? The reason this is a problem (as stated in the article you linked) is because the federal government has slashed funding, not because the government is bad at setting prices; the only reason to interpret it in that way is if you are looking to privatize the water infrastructure.
Gives them valuable insight on user priority & needs. One who has it controls the web. This is what Google has and Apple wants it too.

Only difference is Apple won’t sell it, just use it to refine its product service mix. Google/FB do both besides preempting/ buying emerging competitors.
Do we have no way of handling people being complete ass-hats without involving the legal system? I agree that this guy's behavior is repugnant, but criminal? This feels less like a judicial ruling than a Penal Downvote.
> Sidenote - 6k monitor is beautiful but $5000? The live stream I'm following jokingly mentioned the stand is $1000 extra (is that true?). Have we truly moved into $1/ pixel territory?

To be fair that's 6kx3k. So $1 buys 3000 pixels (more if you use the cheaper VESA stand option). The sound in the auditorium when $1000 for the stand was announced was priceless.
Ive doesn't have a smooth British accent. He sounds more like he's mentally challenged.
When I tried to make a little class for programming, my go to option was scratch.mit.edu , a little hub for coding with blocks. But since this is 5th graders, I recommend code.org , which is "coding" AKA using blocks to get steve from minecraft from point A to B.
This exactly. Many seasteaders are anarchists but many just want to be able to experiment with governance.
I suspect the estimates Wikipedia lists are quite off. I think they may be good enough to give you "an idea" regarding homelessness, but I think those are very rough numbers in many cases.
Aye, El Faro.

Remember few months ago when the Norwegian Cruise ship lost power and 1,300 passengers had to be evacuated by helicopter? That wasn't the only disabled ship in the area due to the storm. Once NTSB releases a report, you might see this as a cause, fuel sloshing. Large ships are just not designed or meant to be in waves and it's not economical to design them to be. So you check weather far in advance and steer clear of it.

El Faro's master looked at an old weather report regularly delayed by 12-18 hours or some such due to additional processing from BVS (his preferred software for checking weather) and didn't cross-check it with another source like NWS throughout the days, despite being challenged by the crew. He ended up steering the ship right into the eye of a hurricane.
There's some study that's popular to post around here (maybe someone has the link, I don't have it) but the gist of it is that in the past few years they identified the dangerous intersections and changed them up to make them less dangerous.
On the consumer side there's also the various "Family Sharing" systems that are only now in their youth. I think that's a "digital asset rights" fight waiting in the wings that some sort of "family sharing" should probably be guaranteed (by laws, probably), including to answer questions of proper transferal of "ownership" (right now "family sharing" in most cases isn't something that you can gift in a will/estate; most digital asset accounts aren't considered survivable after the death of their original user).

There are so many interesting legal questions about digital assets that we're all afraid to ask, but probably should be solving today (if not yesterday).

I kinda like that :). Now I have to go think about what that means for me personally!

If you have a family, wife/kid(s), etc, and you're looking for "balance", maybe the compensation isn't worth it. But maybe you have a mortgage and having the income is very important regardless of how hard you're working. Doesn't sound like you have the above pressure, because you'd probably would have never taken a job in a startup in the first place.

You're single (maybe not) but renting an apartment, saving a little money while you work... get the hell out. 70 hours a week is only worth it if you have equity or are well compensated, which you said you are neither. Also doesn't sound like you're working on something you personally believe in, otherwise you wouldn't lodge your question in the first place.

You know what to do. Good luck.
They do not. iPad could have had a graphing calculator app at this point, given the surface area, but apple has yet to do so.
Neither would be the only sane choice. Multinational corporations will always screw individual customers for profit.

And the issue with trusting any entity with data isn't really what it will do with it today. The bigger problem is what the entity will do with it tomorrow - under new leadership.

It might also be interesting to know that Apple is also in the business of selling "relevant adds". Its a tiny amount if compared to Google, but gives them the same incentives if the platform ever became the most used one around the globe.
That danger is basically nonexistent considering the pricing of Apple devices but makes most claims of apples trustworthiness pretty hollow.

Some of Apple's services use end-to-end encryption. That makes them better from a privacy angle than Google for example... But still... Don't trust multinational corporations. That can never end well

So it has an insane resolution for an insane amount of money. The original monitor also had an insane resolution for the time, but did not cost 5k. 1k is pricey for a monitor, but understandable. If they had segmented and offered a lower resolution monitor for a lower price (basically, an updated Cinema/Thunderbolt display), that would have been enough. The greedy beancounters have fully taken over.

Subjective, but that's also the ugliest piece of hardware Apple has ever created.

>>And indeed we used to, before Ronald Reagan began defunding mental health programs in the US:

Social welfare spending has massively increased in the US since 1970. I would be willing to put money on taxpayer-funded spending on mental health seeing a similar increase.

Blaming de-institutionalization on a federal bill passed in the 1980s is a misleading simplification of the issue that ignores the larger trends in place.

Like I said, social spending has been steadily increasing in both inflation-adjusted terms, and in terms of percentage of the GDP expended on it. What changed is an opposition to institutionalization led by sociologists, who by way, are the most left-wing group of academics in the US according to surveys.

The article you linked to points out that the first law against institutionalization was passed by Califorinia, which is usually at the forefront of left-wing reforms. The move toward "community care", where drug addicts can optionally avail themselves to mental health resources, and are otherwise allowed to wander the city un-supervised, has allowed the most vulnerable segment of the population to be mercilessly preyed upon by drug dealers.

>>Personally, I vote to maintain the separation of church and state in the US, which means that the government shouldn't have a say in what appropriate personal behavior is. Which means as a culture, we have a responsibility to pay into a system which is concerned with the care of people who need it.

This assumes we as a culture has a say in how much people contribute to supporting those who are incapable of taking care of themselves, but no say in whether people actually take care of themselves, and do things like show up to their job and avoid substance-abuse. So you're not removing the government's role in saying what appropriate personal behaviour is at all. Taxation is enforcing a particular type of behaviour, and you're all for that. You just don't want to restrict self-destructive behaviour that encourages dependency on programs provided at the taxpayer's expense.

My point is some of the information available now is that historically, companies that respect your privacy today might not tomorrow. And might only be respecting your privacy to get a monopoly on your data so they can exploit it later.
From the web page, I cannot tell what pricing is going to be - looks like you go out of your way to not scare off potential users. I can't find pricing information at all via Google searches, either.

I've only been biking here the last 6 years so it's hard to speculate, but I would guess that the number of people biking have forced cars to adjust.

It's pretty rare for me to feel like I'm at risk of being hit by a car and anytime they don't notice me it's because I'm in their blind spot, which I now know to be aware of.

Pedestrians are another story. They will cross streets and watch out for cars but not cyclists. I almost killed a small child when her mother directed her into the bike lane (without looking) in order to get around some obstacle on the side walk. Pedestrians do not pay attention and are frequently on their phones.

Isn't this sort of media manipulation? How is it philosophically different from censorship?

> We're developing a very similar system here where people online and other instant message systems, they can forward a suspicious disinformation to a bot. Currently the most popular bot for that is called CoFact, for collaborative fact, but very soon, in June, LINE will build that as its core functionality so all you have to do is to press a message, or a long tap, and then you can flag it as disinformation.

Is it making the whole system more vulnerable to manipulation? Trolls only need to click twice now instead of drafting a comment. In the end, it would be a race of who has the biggest troll farm.

Forcing Facebook to give up competitor platforms seems reasonable, but doesn't really solve the problem of the Facebook platform. We need to tackle Facebook at a cultural level or come up with laws that will protect privacy from all technology companies, not just Facebook.

PO boxes?
33mail is cool but the domain being the same & unique for each user removes the privacy element, and it asks users to make up their own addresses (and remember them), which can be dangerous. For example you might create facebook@dave.33mail.com, so it’s very easy to guess what Dave’s twitter login is or other target.

With Idbloc (and apple sign in) the address is completely random and untraceable, and it’s impossible to tell which addresses belong to which users.
I think the drainage was a lot worse on the Nazi side. The Nazis took their country's resources and started a big war, invading Poland and much of Europe, and then (what ultimately destroyed them) Russia.

The USSR never committed so many resources to war; they engaged in the "cold war", but that was really about it. Germany was fighting an active war on two fronts and got crushed in the middle. The Soviets just built a bunch of bombs and walls (after the action in WWII).
It needs to compete on ugliness with the new Mac Pro. The design and the price, did the inmates really take over?

Apple has been pushing Metal for some time now, and I think the reasoning is that Apple historically likes maintaining a tight coupling between proprietary hardware and their software. CUDA has been around a long time, but Metal does provide a lot in terms of general purpose GPU work, performance shaders for machine learning applications, etc.

The problem with SaaS alternatives to Excel business processes is the difficulty of linking data between apps. Let’s say you want to answer some topical question, like “are code reviews for women and men written with a different tone?” You have a HR system that has people’s gender, and a code review system, and some Google API that measures tone. Good luck stitching this together between vendors. But dump it to Excel and make the API call from VBA and it’s easy.

The problem of course is that this becomes an important business metric, making the spreadsheet a critical business application, but without any of the tooling used for successful software development (version control, code review, test automation)

Perceived? You don't see why I would find someone responding to a bad faith link with another link to a $15 pamphlet about their religion offensive? Why should I treat that as anything else like how I'd treat a mormon operating in such a way.

Come on man. At least I put my money where my mouth is and showed my real and inoffensive (albeit highly aesthetic and nerdy) attachment to these symbols and why such generalizations are pretty unfair to perpetuate.

Of course, someone immediately ignored the point and judged me by the skin. But wouldn't have posted if it were unexpected. The quality of passionate social discourse on HN remains ass, world goes on.
