You objected to the city of Boise talking about crime related to these encampments. Now you’ve accepted the crime happens, but you’re moving the goalposts to say the crime isn’t any worse. The crime is happening. A lot of the crime that occurs is against homeless people. It often goes unreported. It won’t affect crime rates. For a variety of other reasons it is not, in the general sense, a simple thing to measure. In no case are you going to convince the people with actual experiences that their experiences didn’t happen by waving a study at them.

I am wondering what this means in broader terms, IBM no longer have their weight behind Swift? ( Focusing more on Java which would make more sense from IBM perspective )

Or is this just not working on Web Framework ?

The thing is I am indeed voting with my dollar, I vote for few dollars cheaper and get it in two days instead of a week.
Interesting. I tried this years ago, and it never worked. Maybe that's changed in recent versions? Arity versions are still more feasible at least, and many languages are willing to pay the cost for them.
In fact there is something like a dozen groups working on prototypes to do fusion cheaper than ITER. Obviously, the people running ITER don't think that it can be done cheaper. The race is on!

What I don't understand is why the WX-7 looks nothing like ITER. The people putting together WX-7 evidently thought that these convolutions were required, yet the ITER group does not. The race is not simple!
A Reminder About Privacy
Generally, most people who are "pro-homeless" or talk about treating them with respect don't actually live near or otherwise interact with the homeless on a regular or even occasional basis, which lets them feel superior and cast moral judgments on those of us who do live near the homeless and try to do something to contain the problem.
Amazon has done a fantastic job of making people think the choice is between them or managing your own infrastructure. Your concerns make no sense in the context that your parent presented: a managed DC.

And, frankly, your parent was being generous. Even if you only look at elastic workloads, the workload has to be a) extremely elastic and b) not fall into some pretty common patterns for cloud to make any kind of sense.
That logic immediately justifies any number of absurd or horrific acts.

Trouble is, rising acidity at alarming rates is still only a 0.21 decline in pH over a 100 year period. Whilst that might be more than enough to upset no end of shelled animals and other issues. A de-acidifcation plant faces the same issue as carbon capture and storage away from the huge emitters -- you're going to have to process a colossal volume to capture enough of the pollutant you're removing.

While we're at it, how much overhead do we add to global power requirements for all these de-acidification plants, desalination plants and CCS contraptions? How about we stop pouring it in the top and just fucking decarbonise, and leave all those tar sands alone... :)

The app ecosystem is just a matter of time, once there exists a solid foundation. We need the breakthrough device that will make it possible to get started.

Consider Linux on the desktop. For about a decade after it became popular (late 90s) ie till late 2000s, the user experience was crappy, and the app ecosystem was sparse. But they developed so well over the next ten years that in many ways Linux today is more user-friendly than Windows/OS-X.

Enough people want it, and it will happen. And as it happens, more and more people will want it... especially since popular mobile platforms provide less freedom than the desktop ones.
Most of the tax payer population, but not most of the gains available for taxation. Small increases in taxes to the very wealthy would far outweigh large increases in taxes to the middle class in terms of government revenue.

On top of that, you say "unless you added 20%" as if that's something that's beyond the pale when in fact the wealthiest people pay far less in taxes that at any point in our country's history.
I agree that the type checker isn't that useful but I still use TypeScript for two reasons:

Why did cletus' post cause you to write a 40 word rant?

I thought it was a valid point. 1000 books I should read? If I devoted all my free time, for the rest of my life, I might make it. But that leaves me exactly zero time left for the next person who's got some fine-sounding "should" for me, or the next, or the one after that. It's all my time for the rest of my life - for one person's "should".

I don't think it changes the problem to say "should" instead of "must". It's just an opinion. It doesn't create any more of a "should" for me than it does of a "must".

I am not from the states. both of the comments below indicate that Boeing is a strategic asset. Other comments also express similar sentiments.

What is the logic for this? why is this the case?

“They are a strategic asset to the United States far beyond their market value.”

His fluffily meaningless takeaways which apparently bind the three books and are a common theme:

How can I be better at solving hard problems? Take a bigger view!

How can I work better with those around me? Trust them to share their knowledge and use that knowledge differently.

How can I bring new things into the world? Hold the innovation and the delivery in equal regard, give each what it needs, and think hard about what your organization rewards.

* Rent of shelter 33.1%

* Medical care services 7.1%

* Medical care commodities 1.7%

* Tuition, other school fees, and childcare 2.9%

* Educational books and supplies 0.1%

Rent is the biggest item in the entire report. The healthcare number seems about right. And remember that education is averaged over an entire lifetime.

It's objectively true that people are choosing to spend more on better/faster phones. That doesn't necessarily mean inflation; it means that phones have become more useful and capable and therefore worth a larger relative expense to people. If people started buying $100k self-driving cars, you can't claim that inflation did that.
Perhaps I could use some clarity on this matter too, and hopefully with a bit of gentleness. As I understand it, some Lisps do have an explicit compile phase and there is discussion among the language users over the runtime cost of macro abstractions.

https://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/stx-phases.html

I understand there may be some philosophical or theoretical interest in framing Lisp the way you do, but does that invalidate the close-to-the-app thinking about the costs of macros and where those costs are distributed?
What many people may not realize is just how long-lived a lot of farm equipment is. There will be tractors out there still working that are 75 years old and just keep getting repaired.

Obviously the manufacturers would like to sell those farmers tractors more often than that or, in the very least, generate a revenue stream from existing hardware and honestly that's what I see a lot of computing in vehicles as being: nothing more than guaranteeing a revenue stream. It'll get marketed and sold as "efficiency" but the manufacturers are capturing those (alleged) efficiency gains by charging farmers to repair them.

This is also the case with GM crops too. For years, farmers cultivated seeds and replanted them for the next year's harvest. GM crops are typically constructed so they're not fertile beyond the current generation. Why? So the farmer has to re-buy the seed stock from the manufacturer.
Lot of the homeless services do offer job training. Goodwill is all about job training and Salvation Army also offers job experience for people recovering from addictions. Issue with homeless is a lot more complicated than access to jobs.
Yes, This is essentially the only model in Pharma and bio-med.
LA tried it too.

There are several thousand shelter beds that go empty each night in LA County, include nearly a thousand in Skid Row, because the shelters have sobriety requirements and most of the homeless would rather be high than housed, especially in the summer.

In the winter, it's usually easier to convince the homeless to knock off the contraband and use the shelters, especially after the first dozen or so weather-related exposure deaths.
QE is a market distortion because it consists of orders intended primarily to manipulate prices.
Not to be rude, but don't you guys have security to just take them off ? It's a public disorder no ?

I do feel for the homeless, and of course its a refuge etc, but its a public service and so can be removed from the tram/service.

Its not a difficult solution to have to just grab a free ticket which could take you to the end of the line. In which case, no ticket (even free) no pass.

I have a high opinion of Seattle in my mind, not that I've been, but to not think of ways around the problem and just throw it in the bin.. I dare say, it might not have been just the homeless problem.

> not to collect fares from anyone that declines to pay

How is that possible by the way ? Get on without paying ? Why would any driver do that anyway ?

I think people chronically devalue their time. Many schemes exploit this: free lunch to sit through a sales pitch is one. Another is the $0.05 "bag tax." Most rational humans would just pay because it's a hassle to carry around enough reusable bags in your car and remember to bring one in the store with you. But the policy drastically reduces plastic bag use, way more than can be explained by rational behavior.
Community Memory [1], a counter-cultural timesharing system in the Bay Area in the early 1970s, was perhaps a step toward something like what this article discusses. Also the PLATO [2] system might have evolved into something like that. But microprocessors became available in the mid- and late-1970s and the focus shifted away from time-sharing to personal computers.

Not in this case. You can pull that trick when the object is general, and it applies to more than just bodies of water. In this case, we’re talking about the Pacific Ocean, which is California’s ocean (of which there is only one ;) ).
> What's the indexing/performance like?

A key goal has been to avoid ingestion bottlenecks that are otherwise typical when indexing late-arriving temporal data. This is partly achieved by having a very simple EAV index structure over fast local KV stores like RocksDB and LMDB (as opposed to a complex distributed storage architecture with vastly more moving pieces).

As for query performance, the indexes have been designed so that graph traversals are efficient regardless of how much transaction time or valid time history is stored for the entire database of entities. One trick to this is the use of "Morton space filling curves": https://github.com/juxt/crux/blob/master/crux-core/src/crux/...

I can't manage to read this. At one time, I likely would have taken the euthanasia option if it had been available to me.

My life remains a living hell in some ways, but mostly for financial/social reasons. My physical suffering is substantially less.

I can't begin to express both how very much I am for the right to die and how very much I know that, given an easy out, most people won't do the hard stuff. So something like this can easily go very bad places.

There was an American, I think also nicknamed Dr. Death, who was providing euthanasia (illegally). A lot of his patients/clients were chronically ill women who didn't want to be a burden on their family.

One woman in particular seemed like she wanted to die primarily because she had a shitty, unsupportive family, not because her medical issue was really so serious that suicide seemed like a reasonable choice.

Chronically ill or disabled men are much more likely to marry someone and let her physically take care of him, especially if they were able bodied at one time and have a decent income still. It doesn't even have to be a great income.

I read an article once about a study of children in some less developed country where boys were valued more than girls. Boys were fed slightly better. Boys were taken to the doctor slightly sooner -- like in the evening versus "Oh, let's give it a few hours and see how she feels come morning."

Although this was not a case of girls being horribly abused, it was just a case of boys being a little bit pampered, the difference in outcomes could be measured in mortality.

In a world where racism, classism, sexism, etc are still rampant, a death machine has all kinds of potential for horrifying unintended consequences. And those consequences are a sort that are hard to talk about without sounding like a loon or conspiracy theory nutter because the forces at play are fairly subtle and human psychology innately tends to handwave them off as not important.
Regulation gets interesting too. What devices does this apply to? Does it apply to smart tvs, thermostats, printers, anything with software? (which will soon be everything). Components?

Can I import a device? What vetting / certification process will be applied? Who does that? What happens when devices are manufactured by subsidiaries which get folded after 3 years? What if "updates" are provided that don't actually fix any vulnerabilities? What counts as a vulnerability for the purpose of the law?
Is it fair to say IBM threw their weight behind Swift?
Highly skilled industrial work often requires highly skilled and educated workers, who are more likely to unionize or might already have unions in place. By building facilities that require assembly using less skilled means, you are selecting for a different type of worker and different manufacturing processes. Basically, Boeing tried to turn aircraft manufacturing into something closer to an Amazon fulfillment center. Which certainly helps the bottom line, but maybe not the quality line.

The implication about the headquarters is factories closer to the HQ can be easily controlled and execs can fly down and sort out problems. Chicago to Charlotte is < 2 hour flight, Chicago to Seattle is 5ish hours. Also, moving manufacturing out and away from Seattle means the existing unions have a harder time recruiting or setting up sister unions.

All of this can be seen within the wider context of the "financialization" of Boeing, with the company moving more towards a business focus and less of an engineering led company.

Apologies for the long post, lots going on here.

I used to play a lot of second life when I was younger. It was interesting to see what happened to everyone I used to play with.

Everyone became a programmer,or a 3d modeler. Something about having a programming language and the ability to make things strapped to what was essentially a chatroom.

I wonder if your comparisons to Facebook are really fair. I always assumed Secondlife was trying to be something closer to IRC or Discord today then something like Facebook. It's not just a series of events to read but something active to engage with.

Show HN: A collaborative map of public pianos
The reasons are:

1. Public transit is very slow relative to cars. This is because the U.S. was mostly built after the invention of the car, which means road capacity is higher, parking is easier, and distances are farther. Even in places with decent public transit, it takes 2-3x as long to get somewhere on public transit as driving a car.

2. The U.S. is a rich country and more people can afford their own car or to take a taxi/rideshare.

3. Public transit is less comfortable and convenient. It involves walking and waiting outside, possibly in bad weather, and possibly crowding. If you are carrying things with you or bringing small children, the hassle is magnified trying to maneuver through small spaces with large items quickly.

Macros are fully expanded before the rest of the code is executed. Trying to argue that Lisp doesn't have a distinction between compile time and run time because you usually have the compiler (or at least interpreter) available at runtime strikes me as just playing semantics games.
Outside of iOS, is there really any traction for Swift development? It certainly feels like it is settling into an also-ran position. And really, mobile apps are turning out to be a dead-end, and people don't seem to be actually investing in native clients anymore, they just slap their website in a browser control.
yes..

There are two attitudes to tax - one it is a service fee for government services, something short term to be haggled down, or it is a long term investment in this depp water wealth.

Threat of force is technically what underpins all this but that needs to be a credible threat - just having force without knowing where and when to apply it leads to applying it in wrong place or as "encourage les autres". And knowing when to apply it is likely the job of civil servente.

The mules are never in posession of "all of the money" - they handle a couple payments, after that they get the next ones. Sure, some of them might "keep" the money (they can't keep it, the victims have claim on that money and the mules aren't anonymous or protected) and not forward it, so the scammers need to recruit new mules.
