Agreed. Nextdoor's whole model is built around fear-mongering. It is despicable. This is where the "see something, say something" can go too far. A guy driving a van through your neighborhood could be a plumber and not a pedophile trying to kidnap your kids. There seems to be no sense of "suspicious activity" before these people start spewing nonsense.

To be fair, this isn't unique to Nextdoor. My relative is a state police and they get calls for things you can't even imagine, like "my kid won't listen to me, can you scare them straight?" or "the neighbor mowed one strip over the line, make them stop!" It just sucks when companies set out to exploit this human characteristic for profit but hide behind the guise of "open platform". "We're just trying to help build stronger neighborhoods", yeah sure you are.
But the 'universal' part is the main thing people including policy makers have an issue with, and that's the bit not being tested.
+1 thanks for the great reply.
It seems very neighborhood / participant specific.

I was in one neighborhood where it as constant panic (mostly from a couple people) about seeing things / people. I don't think it was rooted in racism, just some folks who were jumpy about anything / everything.

Another neighborhood it is mostly banal neighborhood type discussion.

What happens if the house no longer appreciates?
That seems obviously true, except it is actually incorrect, at least as far as Python (3) goes.

The following are all interpreted as X in variable names: XⅩＸ𝐗𝑋𝑿𝓧𝔛𝕏𝖃𝖷𝗫𝘟𝙓𝚇

And these are all interpreted as x: xˣₓⅹｘ𝐱𝑥𝒙𝓍𝔁𝔵𝕩𝖝𝗑𝘅𝘹𝙭𝚡

I.e. 𝖃𝖝, 𝕏𝕩 and Xx all represent the same variable!

Edit: As a mathematician, this is actually kind of annoying. Sometimes I would love to have different variables named x and 𝐱, or whatever. Oh well, at least I can have θ, λ, φ, π, etc. Autohotkey macros make them easy to type.
I haven't said 'find a rich benefactor', but 'be the benefactor'.

There is no need to be rich. Spouses stay at home and are not worried if their partner has a regular job. It doesn't have to work for everybody. For starters, find somebody who can handle the risk of you losing your job.

Of course people are happier if they get rich. But that's not what UBI is about. The question is: do people need a monetary buffer to get on in life and become more profitable so that society benefits as a whole?

If that theory is true, then supporting one or two persons will lead to them making more money and being able to support one or two persons in return by themselves. That's a system that can grow, if UBI works.

So, whoever believes in UBI: start supporting one person, and see what will happen.

There are similar (but more basic) systems built into some retractable gear aircraft. They generally provide an audible alert if the plane appears about to land but the gear is still up.

Pilots still land gear up, even with the alarm sounding. There is (or at least was) even a public (YouTube) video of this happening from a passenger filming.

Landing a plane is not difficult (source: I’m a pilot) but there’s a lot going on. This is clearly a UI/UX issue but innovation is relatively slow in the certified market.
That comes from a position of privilege.

Round trip plane tickets across the ocean or hemispheres, and factoring cost of food lodging and travel while there, is plainly expensive. Travel by land has less of an upfront cost, but depending on how far you want go can take ample time. That's time spent not earning, burning through vacation days just to get somewhere, which from where I am, can scarcely be described as traveling the world.

Working abroad for say TESL (teaching english in the second language) is a contract, commonly up to a year, though shorter options exist. That's a complete displacement, it may be suitable for a young graduate but isn't short-term travel.

- Postgres 12
- PostGIS
- pgTAP
- pgAudit
- plv8 - Write in Javascript functions in Postgres.
- plpython3u - Python3 enabled by default. Write in Python functions in Postgres.

>> Nextdoor and the public agencies it works with say that close ties between the social media platform and the government can help them both do their jobs better.

The thing is, that's true. It's the way they're going about it and the fact that it's a messy public / private mix that raises ethical concerns. At some point we're going to need to rethink an official channel for government communications. Think about it: how dependent on social media have many of us been to find out the latest public health mandates? And how well do we feel like social media deals with fake news and fraud and privacy? The combination of those two is a big problem. There needs to be a better official communications platform.

The US Postal Service was seen as very fundamental to the forming of its government. Now, ignoring the financial woes and plundering by Congress, and ignoring the very lousy and incompetent service you can get from it in some places, it just has fundamental limitations in cost, speed, level of non-repudiation, etc. It's largely become a subsidized junk mail / litter distribution network. It's how I'm supposed to get official correspondence from the IRS, but it's harder than it should be to know it REALLY came from the IRS, and to prove that I REALLY replied on time, and to actually work towards a resolution. We can't use it for all our elections because of (real or not) fraud concerns so we use more inconvenient forms of voting. If you need to take someone to court you can't trust it, so you have to pay for expensive process service. It doesn't get used to notify me of changes in laws that affect me, like I might get fined if I go to the park with my kids tomorrow. It can't be used to tell me that I can't park my car where I usually do in 72 hours because of time-sensitive maintenance, we instead pay someone to put a note on my door and hope it doesn't blow away. It's not great. The de facto solution? Rely on NextDoor and Facebook. And we get ethical dilemmas like this article.

I really think at some point we need to declare some kind of Internet access a fundamental need as much as service by USPS (which is required to service every address) has been in the past, and not rely on private infrastructure for basic government services like this. As someone who tends to be libertarian and lives somewhat off-grid a lot of the time, I see the difficulties and fully expect that our government would screw up the execution of this. But at some point I think it's necessary and inevitable to at least try. The most basic functions of government could be done so much better.
Capsule hotel firm Bobobox bags $11.5m in Series A funding
In this market over the last two months, that's how I've made more money than I have in the entire last 3-4 years combined.

Crazy. ...but that opportunity is probably overish.

Also, "day" trading is usually bad - buying the dip and selling the excitement on a week/month basis takes much less time and is much safer.
I think you're right that it's the intersections/interactions. I commute ~50mi day across varied roads. The intersections on the "not a totally limited access highway but pretty close" seem to be where most of the stupid stuff happens. It's not any different than the normal stuff but now the speed differentials are higher so stupid has the potential to hurt more.

Most people drive around what's reasonable for the road. Some people drive insanely fast and some people drive whatever the speed limit is, reasonableness be damned. With normal traffic the latter group combined with the sheer volume of cars limit the ability of the two former groups to have large speed differentials with any of the other two groups.

Now with 'rona traffic volumes you've got the people that want to drive 100, weaving around the people who want to do 70-85 while the idiots who think it's acceptable to merge at 30mph less than traffic speed do just that. The net situation is just one unsignaled lane change away from a crash.

That said, I've seen a lot less aggressive passing because the roads are so empty that you get lots of chance to pass people so you don't need to take a crappy one.

Interesting offering, but truly needed?

> "you should not have control over your body"

That's not the part of the syllogism most people take issue with, you're being disingenuous. If fair and reasonable taxes are okay, then it seems like you aren't intrinsically entitled to all wealth that flows from your body, so then it seems like if the reasons for UBI are compelling enough, a taxation system to fund it would be justified.

It also seems unclear why you should be naturally entitled to all your wealth, because you don't produce wealth in a vacuum, but rather as part of a system of social cooperation - that is what determines what you are entitled to. Then, it seems like we should start with what the rules of a reasonable system of social cooperation ought to be, rather than starting from self-ownership. That's a sketch of a potential response to your syllogism.

It seems equally silly to me to structure society so that just because you happened to be born into poverty, your life choices are substantially constrained due to no choice of your own.
Word of warning on Ebay tho, and this comes from someone who's been flipping stuff there for 20 years: There's a hold on your funds for around 21 days, depending on how fast the item is shipped out, and registered as delivered (hint: Always use tracked shipping)

Second, there's a limit on how much you can list / sell as a beginner. So don't count on being able to liquidate collections or extra stuff in a flash.

And third, Ebay is incredibly biased towards buyers - so if you're looking to sell something very expensive, try local first - where you can get cash in hand. I've lost thousands of dollars on Ebay as a seller, even though I've followed every step to secure myself.

But other than that - it's a very hard place to beat if you're looking to sell something. I'm selling on a TON of channels, but it's really hard to beat Ebay for actually getting stuff sold.

Nextdoor is quickly becoming a detestable social network experience. I've noticed that over the last year or so, it's almost exclusively negativity or fear based in its content. Most posts are either people complaining or tattling on something that is a minor nuisance at best or fear mongering for larger issues. I've seen very, very limited positive benefit from the platform. It strikes me as something that had great potential, but is just turning in to a cesspool as it grows.
I got off of Nextdoor when I saw a 'neighbor' who took to taking photos of people driving(in his words) like an idiot. The way he would take the photos is to chase them down, pull out his phone while driving and take a photo of the car. Then he would post a meme like photo of the car calling the person some variation of a jackass/moron/etc. When I pointed out the irony of chasing someone down to take their picture, I got a bunch of ad hominem attacks and accusations that I was one of the people he had named and shamed. (I wasnt).

I suggested that maybe he leave traffic enforcement to the professionals, and if he noticed a rash of bad driving to maybe alert the police to step up patrol of the area. He doubled down on the character attacks and while I got a bunch of private messages saying thank you for saying something there was an equal amount of public posts from people thanking him for "keeping them safe".

The main app powering coinbase.com, the “monorail”, is a Rails app backed by MongoDB. It’s typically what’s being referred to when breaking out microservices.

Historically most other services were Rails/Sinatra with Postgres. These days there’s a lot more Golang being used for new services.

There’s also some services that are serverless, using Lambda and DynamoDB but these are a minority.

Working with a mainframe everyday, my experience is this. While IBM has enabled the mainframe to run modern software, many mainframe developers cling to the old development languages and techniques.

So, while the mainframe CAN be a modern platform, it may not be used as such.
As reported, it seems that Nextdoor has a non-disclosure agreement that – without determined legal pushback – all but guarantees a chilling effect on how gov't agencies respond to public records requests, including when Nextdoor data is used to tip police investigations:

> In the terms of Nextdoor’s NDA, advisory council members are not allowed to release public statements about the partnership without the consent of Nextdoor, nor are they able to follow a court order to disclose any information deemed confidential by Nextdoor without alerting the company first. The document is the same one it gives to all business partners, the company said, and is meant to protect confidential information like product ideas.

> ...Though there are few rules prohibiting them from signing such a document, the practice could help shroud government decisions from the public, says Guariglia from the Electronic Frontier Foundation. And the NDA’s “heads-up” clause could give agencies the leeway to alert the company before complying with freedom of information act requests.

> After CityLab requested public records from Husted’s department, he alerted Nextdoor spokesperson Edie Campbell-Urban, though he said that he wasn’t doing so because of any terms of the NDA. When CityLab requested similar records from Kagarise, the county’s Office of Risk Management services informed CityLab that it was delaying its answer, in part because they were busy dealing with Covid-19. They said they would also be informing Nextdoor Inc. of the public records request, pursuant to a state law protecting third parties from information “not in the public interest” that would “substantially and irreparably damage” the third party or the government.

While a person is in charge of their frequency, we do require at least once a month. Those people are usually more senior in their careers. In those cases, a lot of times the meetings are shorter and we just have a quick chat to make sure everything's okay with both them and their team.

My stance is simple, I want to turn off all telemetry, period. It's my computer, I should be able to do whatever I want on it. Anything less is unacceptable.

I understand why telemetry is valuable to developers and I can accept when it's active by default. But I _insist_ on being able to turn it off.

Hopefully Shutup10 will be updated to disable this telemetry too.
That can't be true. If you spent all of your time developing new skills you wouldn't have any time to capitalize on them. You are likely better off conquering a niche.

Tcl is one of the most underrated programming language that everybody probably has installed. It has existed for as long as ksh and even long before bash. It is simple and powerful enough that first version of Redis were written in it[1].

MacPorts is written in Tcl (including its ports DSL) and I enjoyed every moment working with it.
