No, it's a pilot that ticks boxes, not to say it won't work, but you can't tell if it is a working system.

How do you clean them? How do you have security? What happens when people depend on them but they are broken.

I like the fact they can hold two people, that's humane. But will society accept the prostitution it will bring. Will the 'box' change the psychology and cause lethal attacks.

The solutions needed here are processes over things. Sometimes things can allow a process change. But you'd need to see a non fluff report to see if this does that. It's hard to see it working when people have tried to do similar with tents and they don't seem to work.
Generally concrete slabs form the rough shape of it, on top of a framework of steel. At least from what I see in the UK. I know NY & London do have, at very least historically but I assume now too, quite different heights and construction methods, due to differences in the geology.

Because we are going to eat the rich, right?
I'm skeptical about tariffs and I'm not necessarily opposed to subsidies (although I do kind of question whether they are actually an efficient way to help income-challenged Americans) -- but we could still distribute those subsidies differently in order to cheapen healthier food that's in our better interest to encourage. We could also, if we're getting rid of subsidies, consider giving income-challenged people money directly, which may or may not be comparatively cost-effective to working directly with the industry.

So there's a lot of avenues that we could take, and yeah, eliminating food subsidies entirely and not giving any other kinds of aid would probably be a mistake. I'm not disagreeing with you. It's just... there's a lot of things we could change or try that wouldn't leave people to starve. Recognizing that meat is subsidized opens up doors for us to talk about whether our current system is efficient, about what behaviors our current system incentivizes. If nothing else it at least acknowledges that we are currently messing with the market, that meat prices aren't naturally low, and that we if we're comfortable with that kind of intervention, then we could at least mess with the market in different ways to promote more diverse foods.

Right now, we are artificially boosting a few segments of the food industry to frankly unhealthy levels of consumption (at least in most of the US) in order to help people afford food. It is worth considering if it is possible to help those people without propping up industries that are at least indirectly responsible for a nontrivial number of health risks and environmental challenges in the US. I don't think most people here are saying we should leave income-strapped Americans to starve (or at least I'm not), but like you said, the current status quo isn't really working, and it has some some pretty big downsides.

Even if you don't want to touch subsidies at all, at the least we could talk about stuff like checkoff programs. I find it much harder to argue that government intervention into how food is advertised is for the benefit of low-income Americans, and I think the advertising that comes from that forced tax on food is responsible for some increase in consumption.
> Although recently men are starting to become more vain and I hear a lot of marketing crap like “men should take more care looking after their skin/appearance” - the metrosexual thing - which I think is going down a bad path. We need less social pressures for young people...but of course there is a huge monetary incentive to get men hooked on skin care etc.

I'm worried about this trend too. I saw an ad the other day that started with talking about how much time and effort women need to spend on beauty etc. My thought while watching this part was "This is horrible, we should encourage less of this."

But instead of this conclusion, the ad concluded with "If women have to put this much effort in, men should step up and start putting in more effort. Here's a product we make so men can put in more effort." I found it absurd!

"More than 100,000 people die annually from Paracetamol overdoses."

The fact is we seem to be damned if we do or damned if we don't. We desperately need a reasonably effective and safe painkiller. If 100,000 actually die from paracetamol per year then there's a reasonable excuse for banning it. But what do we replace it with given that many cannot take NSAIDs for various reasons?

- Pharmacists and doctors repeatedly say paracetamol/acetaminophen is very safe if taken according to directions, the trouble is, that in excess, it shuts the liver down and it cannot recover/clear the drug in time before real trouble sets in. Moreover, it's not very effective as a painkiller.

- NSAIDs, ibuprofen and aspirin, cause bleeding of the stomach and other major issues, even hearing loss in high doses.

- The newer COX-2 selective NSAID Rofecoxib, aka Vioxx, was very effective at certain forms of pain relief but was banned by the FDA after it was found to cause cardiac effects in susceptible people including heard attacks. (Another criticism I have of the FDA is the inordinate length of time it took for the FDA to remove Vioxx from the market after its cardiac effects became known—this was around three years. (I recall reading a paper in the AAAS journal Science that outlined Vioxx's cardiac effects and thinking to myself that the drug would have to be banned. That was some three years before the FDA actually banned it).

- Celecoxib, also a newer COX-2 selective NSAID that is in the same class as Vioxx, hasn’t yet been banned but it still has the potential to cause cardiac effects. Moreover, it is not as effective a painkiller as Vioxx was.

- Then there's the dangerously addictive opioids.

- Once we had another rather effective painkiller but it too has been long banned. APC was a mixture of aspirin, phenacetin and caffeine and it was rather effective except for the fact that it rotted one's kidneys, many instances of kidney disease were attributed to its use

Alas, there's precious little else, especially anything that's safe.

It's a pathetically inadequate a list, isn't it?

I'd hoped that aarch64 (ARM) would now be a tier 1 architecture in 13 but that's not to be the case (https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/) and the FreeBSD wiki page on what's required to make aarch64 a Tier 1 architecture was flagged as being out of date ~18 months ago (https://wiki.freebsd.org/ARMTier1).

For info, a key thing about Tier 1 architectures is that "Binary updates and source patches for Security Advisories and Errata Notices will be provided for supported releases" (https://docs.freebsd.org/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers...), which would make maintaining ARM-based SBCs much easier (no need for setting up cross-compilation toolchains or for very slow compilation on the SBCs) and could make FreeBSD an even better OS for IoT stuff.
Top left corner, the box with the address of the place you're looking at. Its bottom line is a clock icon and "Street View". Click on it and you get a slider with the available pictures. Place the slide on a date and click the thumbnail image to update the main view.

If there is no clock icon, there is no history for that location.
You could probably solve most use cases by just pulling the first line from the readme in that folder.

It would encourage people to write folder-level readmes if nothing else.
Aren't we talking mainly about meat subsidise and not food in general?

So the consequences would be poorer people would eat less meat, while the rich continue to eat unchanged.

That is the case with anything you want more expensive. The poor people would be the ones having less of it.
I've worked with and lived around both poor and relatively rich people, but I can't say that the rich stand out as lacking empathy or compassion specifically. From my experience I would say the opposite is true, creating "anti network-effects" for many poor people.

There seems to be growing resentment of "the rich" recently, but I believe that's misplaced. Things will get worse for "the poor" until the cause is diagnosed correctly.

I can't see any strategic gain for the people who disbelieve in COVID-19.

For climate change denial, which the managing editor of this blog practices, I can see how you can make enough money from it to give yourself a good life and leave others to pay the cost.

But with COVID it's like that element of weaponised science skepticism has gone rogue and started killing it's host (sometimes literally).

Is there some secret plan I can't see to make money from this or are we really just letting these people drive us towards a cliff with their insanity?

I would strangely feel better if I felt someone was going to profit from all the misery and death.
"... the disaster that was Healthcare.gov"

OMG you worked on that? The blame for this one (and Universal Credit) sits with GDS. Their approach at the time was agile or die, and then try to develop an enterprise system like they did the Guardian's CMS (GDS was staffed initally by ex-Guardian devs).

I had the misfortune of reviewing their Government Gateway replacement, which at the time focused singularly on identity federation. GDS was hugely anti-Microsoft, who built the Govrernment Gateway. And so they chose the SAML protocol over the incumbent ADFS, breaking every dependency.

GDS was way out of its league. An inexperienced 25y/o will draft exactly the kind of architecture document you describe.

Electric cars - I get it... but who would in their right mind let their Ford drive itself?! Why is the self-driving a thing mostly in America? Don't people here enjoy driving? If they don't, why not focus on the more economical and environmentally-friendly mass transit instead? In Europe, people get a car and get behind the wheel, because they enjoy the experience, not because it gets them in the most efficient way from point A to point B. Or maybe in the last 20+ years I've been living in the States things have changed back in Europe?

Because they're based on the real level geometry.

If you ever need heart surgery, do you want the surgeon who has done 10 years of heart surgery (or better yet, 30 years)?

Or do you want the surgeon who has jumped from area to area and has no more than a year or two of experience in each area? The experience doing knee replacements will be invaluable in your heart surgery. Right?

It is so weird that this meme of "10 times one year of experience" is somehow become a negative.
From a "well what did you expect" perspective - delaying drugs and asking for more safety data is occasionally going to result in scary drugs getting caught and kept off the market.

The problem is the flip side - when wonder drugs are delayed causing unnecessary pain and suffering - generates no human interest stories. The damage of increasing cost of drugs and delaying the rate of improvement because of delays in the approval process is also an unknown.

The FDA is a process - every time something goes wrong, bureaucrats take heat and then tighten the standards. This process is going to be more conservative about approving drugs than is rational.

> I'm discovering that a portion of HN is salty about what is "slave labor". You were paid a pittance, it's not slave labor. Were you chained to a pole and couldn't leave? No? Well clearly not slave labor. Oh, they left you a hacksaw, so you could have left if you wanted. Not slavery. Soon, "slave wages" will not be a thing because clearly slaves are never paid. Figurative language is not a thing, apparently.

It's the FAANG Silicon Valley cult way of thinking and it's why its so fucking gross; everything amounts to exploitation of 'low skilled' work force to make unprofitable things palatable for Seed rounds and then VC money in order to buyout your competition or suffocate it in the cradle and ensure a monopoly and massive 'growth' and then attach it to surveillance based business model(s) and call it 'optimized marketing' and now you have a billion dollar valuation and a frothy IPO exit scam for the VCs, which translates to bloated compensations and meaningless titles (they call themselves 'engineers' when it suits them but reduce themselves to mere 'coders' when shit blows up in their faces) for those with little to no morals and a narrow skill set--yes, I can code, too, and I also worked for a Megacorp at one point and I still maintain its a very narrow skill set.

Not to mention how soul-sucking it is to just sit at a desk all day and stare at a screen while editing or debugging some BS platform that optimizes how to make people hate each other more online and call it optimizing 'engagement' while using casino style addiction behavior models. So, I'm afraid it becomes inevitable since empathy is something that I fear erodes with time, and is lost altogether in the wrong environment--insular echo chambers with no room for dissent and stigmatization and cancel culture at arms length if you ever step out of line.

Ultimately, it's a reminder that people who benefit from the system are the first and most adamant to refute these claim, and we're on HN.

I just wonder how shallow their collective lives must be to be so willing to exploit another person and make light of their situation and still follow the 'making the World a better place' BS narrative that's become emblematic with all that is wrong with Silicon Valley and big tech in general these days.

I mean it's almost like people here forget that debtors prisons were a form of imprisonment with slavery at its core and were a thing in the US not that long ago, some still exist today [0], and dates back to the inception of Western Society (Greece) where it was common practice after succumbing to large amounts of debts which had to be paid off.

In the end its like creating a culture where everyone wants to be Jeff Bezos with an almost ambivalent of not outright misanthropic view of the World. It's pathetic but also why I'm glad we're seeing an exodus of them out of CA in masse, I mean how else could they see that amount of homelessness and poverty and be ok with buying endless amounts of distractions and toys to serve their infantile appetites to see the misery the helped create: CA now houses 50% of the US' homeless.

Well, one thing that this solution misses is virtual dispatch - HexadecimalEvaluator won't work for Addition(Literal(1),Literal(2)) for example, because ExtendedStringEvaluator doesn't know to call HexadecimalEvaluator back.

Still, this is easily fixable by transforming the static functions into virtual methods on a class:

//keeping all of the definitions so far the same

class ExtendedStringEvaluator : BuiltInEvaluators.StringEvaluator {
public override string visit(Expression expression) {

switch(expression) {
case Multiply multiply: return $"{ExtendedStringEvaluator(multiply.x)} * {ExtendedStringEvaluator(multiply.y)}";
default : return super(expression);
}
}
}

class HexadecimalEvaluator : ExtendedStringEvaluator {
public override string visit(Expression expression) {

switch(expression) {
case Literal literal: return return l.n.ToString("x");
default : return super(expression);
}
}
}

Still, this switch on the class type is essentially exactly a virtual call on the type of Expression, just controlled by someone other than the original class. That is, the Expression doesn't "know" any more that it is being visited, so you couldn't create a LoggingExpression let's say. On the other hand, the Visitor now has more control over the way it interprets expression subtypes. So even here we are doing double dispatch: we are dispatching manually based on the runtime type of `expression`, and then allowing the language to dispatch based on the runtime type of `this`.
Well, this proves the historical materialists right.
“I do support mask wearing in public. It certainly doesn’t do any harm and I think it encourages good habits and makes people think about what they do and why.”

Very simplistic statement. What is “in public”? How is touching a mask (and therefore your face) constantly a guaranteed win? Why has the virus not raged incredibly in locations with fewer mask mandates? Would it make more sense to require masks “in private” where people are in closer contact? Requiring them outside “in public” where people are spaced out is symbolic and authoritarian; it makes people like you feel better. Hardly a reason for a policy.
If anything, that shows those labels are completely unnecessary - with a bit of due diligence you can get the info on your own.

I may be wrong, but one of the benefits of NOT allowing hyphens in names in languages like JavScript is code can be minified (you can remove spaces and use operators as delimiters, which only works if “-“ only stands for subtraction).
