I don't think you've learned about Prop 13 yet. Ignorance is bliss here. Yes there are answers to your questions, but California is more enjoyable when you're just confused about these things.
It can cause population centralization, which can actually make the problem harder to solve. Other parts of the country are more than willing to help
I'm not sure factories closing down in the Bay Area is a big issue as there aren't a lot. The bigger issue is upper middle class and upper class people and their taxes leaving. On the other hand, the area generally (if not necessarily just SF proper) has a lot of attractions that Detroit never had. So it's reasonable to assume that housing prices could drop to a more sustainable level. Of course, one implication is that municipalities would probably have to operate on lower budgets than they do today.

In general, SF and Bay Area are not necessarily the same story. Plenty may choose to live in South Bay especially if prices drop but not in the city.
Wow, somehow looks similar to another site that I discovered few weeks ago: https://cables.gl/

I googled and found this: https://nodes.io/story/#background

Yes, San Francisco is lagging cities in Texas in providing social services, which is why its homelesssness/street-disorder/drug-abuse problem is so much worse.

There is a point at which you have to realize/admit that your ideological narrative, and the public sector interests who popularize it, are wrong. The left coast cities, from San Fran to Vancouver, have prioritized decriminalization of drugs, social services, and hands off policing for 'minor' crimes like theft, and have been overtaken by deliquency and squalor as a result.
Studies have consistently shown the homeless in SF are from the city and neighboring regions. It’s not attracting homeless from elsewhere. The homelessness problem is a housing problem, plain and simple. No socialism necessary to explain it.
Dickens and Jane Austen seem to be mutually exclusive. I adore Jane Austen's work, but have only made it through Dickens with struggle. I have heard similar things to your position and mine from many people, but rarely heard someone say, "Oh, yeah, I love Jane Austen and Charles Dickens!"
2^128 is ~10^38. For frame of reference, there are ~10^22 atoms in a penny and ~10^50 atoms in the entire planet.

Alternatively, 585 years is "only" ~2^64 nanoseconds. 2^128 nanoseconds is on the order of 10^22 years, while the estimated current age of the universe comes in at a mere 10^10 years.

What sort of enumeration could you possibly do in practice on such a scale? (Allocation, on the other hand, is an entirely separate problem.)
Question: What exactly makes it so hard to interface with the actual motor nerves directly? The tech to stimulate nerves seems to be regularly used in e.g. cochlear implants. We also can sense neuron activity e g. through EEG. So why are even the most advanced prosthetics still relying on kludges like the "flex to cycle through settings" routine described in the article?
The laws are enforced.

I haven't seen any conclusive evidence that shows Prop 47 has led to higher crime rates. In fact there are many studies which show there isn't any, while at the same time the state is saving tons of money not incarcerating non-violent offenders.

I haven't seen any conclusive evidence that Chesa Boudin has led to higher crime rates, though I'm not sure how controlled the comparison is of pandemic-city levels vs normal crime levels.

Crime happened before prop 47, crime happened after prop 47. Crime happened before Chesa was elected DA, crime happened after he was elected DA.

I wish there were no crime, but to point out an example of one crime being committed and then jumping to broad conclusions, while also misrepresenting the supposed rationale for the increase in crime, it's a bit of a red flag for me.
My understanding is that only reason Tesla makes money is by selling carbon offsets. Basically, everything is negative ROI for them.
> I'm excited to see it get weirder ... personally, I like [it]

I think the problem is that the 'weirdness' is more like 'human suffering'. People treat it like a charming part of the experience for their benefit... but like it's real people suffering.
That's actually the big issue — but if you can meet with the person, and do the whole process IRL, it's much less risky.
You don't need the whole thing, just a cliff notes so you can get through Paradise Lost, and you're generally good.
More likely it's low interest rates and everyone dumping cash into real estate because of inflation scares

I'm always surprised at how often macOS is misprinted, especially in technical publications. I suppose Apple hasn't made it easy to keep up (Mac OS, Mac OS X, OS X[1]), but macOS has been the official name since Sierra[2]. Perhaps it shouldn't, but it does make me wonder about the accuracy of other details a publication might offer.

CoFounder Opportunity
I am the founder of Lumacart a solid YC prospect for YC Summer 2021. Application is in process with YC and I was contacted to update with cofounder information if I found one. So it appears the idea and progress so far interests YC but the lack of a cofounder may not sit well. So if you are looking for a ticket to get into YC as a technical (full stack developer) cofounder this is a great opportunity for you. I am full time so you don't have to be. You can test to see while you still have your day job to see if this is something you want to do and I believe you will like it. If we click and you are not already in Clubhouse I have an invite for you :). Feel free to follow me and message me on Twitter @davepoku
From the CLIP article:

> While CLIP’s zero-shot OCR performance is mixed, its semantic OCR representation is quite useful. When evaluated on the SST-2 NLP dataset rendered as images, a linear classifer on CLIP’s representation matches a CBoW model with direct access to the text.

CLIP matches other models in text sentiment analysis when presented with image renderings of the text while the other model had direct access to the text. It also does MNIST.

It might not be the best OCR software ever, but that's besides the point. It's huge advancement in generality on visual tasks and part of that generalization is some reading capability.
The people who knee-jerk complain here are not the users though. They are the people who say "I wouldn't use this, therefore it's useless".
This incident happened, however the initial post is highly misleading. "McDonald's" (a corporation) did not burn anything. An elderly woman was served a cup of coffee -- the same coffee their restaurants serve to millions of people every day, without incident -- and in this woman's case, she spilled it on herself which caused severe burns. Not claiming McDonald's is faultless, probably the coffee was in fact dangerously hot, however the OP makes it sound like the woman was assaulted with a blowtorch or something where an employee intended to harm the victim.
"Critical" is a key part of anyone's gaming vocabulary. Not just D&D, but almost every RPG with combat implements crits in some ways. That's not a word that belongs to any one person.

I know someone already responded to you, and I don't mean to pile on, but commonly used words like "Critical" should never be privately owned. Not now. Not ever.
Read this thread to say this. ffmpeg is one of the most unbelievable FOSS efforts I have ever used. I am in almost constant daily awe of imagemagick and this.
Area is priced highly, jobs can be done from anywhere else in the world, so it is natural regardless of politics and all the other crap that people migrate to cheaper areas where they feel they can live out of. The SF/SV bubble is leaking out and pressure is being let out to the rest of the world mostly US. Obviously, SF isn't the only high priced area in the world that is leaking out.

With lowered rent prices, this should help alleviate economics on lower paid people. Who's to say these areas won't go sky high again though.
There are plenty of quirks when you aren't coloring in the lines in Jetbrains, though. Formatting with Rubocop on save in Rubymine is nearly impossible to do successfully in my attempts.

Could someone explains in layman's terms what's going on here?
I know this isn't in academia but I had an abusive team lead that projected his own insecurities and personal life problems on me and the team. He would gaslight us and accuse of stuff based on what previous people had done. Also my supervisor was a right wing loon that would allow sexual harassment to take place and participate in it. We would force his political agendas on people. Thank god I got let go for budget reasons.
I agree I was confused by the name, as I thought this was something formally related to Ruby, not some sort of Rubocop alternative.

I’ve not lived here for too long but I agree with your sentiment. It’s a wonderful city and I’ve met wonderful people and have had great experiences so far. No city is perfect and to the contrary of what most people complain about, I am happy that this city has a big homeless budget and that my tax dollars are being used to provide them some kind of relief, that the city Government is not prosecuting an already unfortunate class of people for doing exactly what any one of us put in such terrible circumstances would be coerced into doing.
We left the Bay Area to be closer to family. It was going to happen at some point, but the pandemic just accelerated the move. The Bay Area is still my favorite place though, so ironically I’m able to save up faster to buy a house there (for retirement) by not living there currently, assuming remote incomes don’t drop drastically after the pandemic.

Anecdotally, at our apartment complex in Asheville, there are three cars with California license plates right next to mine, so at least some people had the same idea as us with regard to where to move.

That’s an exemption from the ban on “circumvent[ing] a technological measure”, not an exemption from copyright law as a whole. AFAIK the Internet Archive still has to ensure that its use of copyrighted software is covered by “fair use”.
SF’s bust now is $1m+ condos in Western Edition, not really a bust.

SF was built on gold mining and capitalism. There was a counter culture period but it’s a money making town.
Socialism is the reason they don’t raise taxes on homeowners (frozen to the 1970s level)

“Environmentalism” is the reason they don’t have nuclear power and have to import expensive coal power.

Socialism is why there are some insane policies around PG&E, leading to expensive and poor power quality. They can’t upgrade the grid.

Corruption is why they can’t build new housing around SF.

The lack of a two party system has largely led to these issues (as I attempted to allude to). The government is completely unaccountable. People are realizing and leaving.
I took a course in college called "European Political Thought" and one of the texts we had to read was the bible. Reading it cover to cover revealed a number of surprises to me. I had to go to church as a kid so I knew the basics but I was never very religious. The best moments in class were the uncomfortable reactions of a few of the students who were clearly quite religious.

A "massive over-investment of time", indeed, unless you are doing it for college credit ;)

When I ran into this, it came down to if I wanted to splice two videos together, or re-encode them.

Due to how keyframes work, cutting on keyframe boundaries is a lot faster and easier and doesn't require re-encoding in many cases. This is the default for the segment muxer.

Cutting between keyframes is a fair bit more effort, and requires re-encoding, which is why I guess it's not the default.
Minor correction: in 2014, the people of CA passed Prop 47, which reclassified most non-violent property theft crimes as misdemeanors [0]. This change is largely credited with the dramatic increase in shoplifting in SF.

What’s interesting is why SF appears to be the most affected county. It might be because it continues to elect soft-on-crime City Attorneys or that it fails to investigate organized crime rings that then operate with impunity. My favorite example of this is Fremont PD doing SFPD’s job and busting an international auto theft ring mostly operating in SF[1].

NFT art pieces have an associated file that can be copied but the (nft token, public key) pair on the blockchain is unique, where the NFT token is created with a public key associated with the artist.

Your copy of the associated file is just a copy of the file. You cannot associate another public key with the nft token.

As far as we know this is the only reasonable and foolproof way to define digital ownership, digitally.

If you’re imagining crime and homelessness, that’s not exactly what I mean by “weirdness” – those are problems that San Francisco needs to fix... and will probably always need to fix.
As someone whos nowhere near liberal enough to want to live in San Francisco, isn't there some kind of diminishing return effect where the better you're homeless services are, the more homeless come to take advantage, and the worse the problem becomes? Especially with the fantastic weather so less exposure deaths? If Texas spends no money on homeless people who don't help themselves they have to leave or die. What's the ratio of Texas homeless that have been in Texas their whole lives vs San Francisco homeless who have been in California their whole lives?
The corollary to that is to understand that when you soothe a negative feeling with a short-term coping mechanism (distraction, drugs...), you prime yourself to feel more of the same in the future. Exposure to the negative feeling and learning to deal with it gradually is far more beneficial as the body learns that it is not so effective.

This is particularly applicable to anxiety-based issues such as OCD but it can help for a variety of problems
There could be ecosystems like this deep underground on Mars, Europa, Ganymede, Titan, Ceres, or many other places in the solar system. I would not be at all surprised if we find such a place by the end of the 21st century. I hope to live to see it.

The way San Francisco is managed finally made sense to me (in a bad way) once I learned about the Second Great Migration and the fact that there was basically no black population here until World War 2. Making the cost of living as expensive as possible is a wonderfully deniable way to drive out people who have been repeatedly denied the ability to build generational wealth: https://www.forbes.com/sites/priceonomics/2016/05/11/the-afr...
Is AT&T Fiber worth it?
That’s right on the origin of the term. Similary one can say that a face book is a kind of student registery with photos. It is still a bad idea to call a social network which is not related to Facebook face-something. It is an already estabilished and recognizeable brand your new thing might get confused with. If you did it unintentionally then you just caused unintentional confusion to your users. If you did it intentionally because you want to ride on the popularity of the already existing thing then you are a shyster.

Again, this is not a legal analysis. This is a decency analysis.

I might be more simpathetic with their naming choice if it would have been an accidental thing. It could be that the makers of critical-notes never heard of the brand Critical Role, they just settled on the same word because of the game term. This is unlikely to be the case. Critical notes mention on their frontpage that they support the Exandrian calendar for note taking. Exandria, and thus the exandrian calendar, is the invention of Critical Role’s Dungeon Master. The chance that they heard about Exandria but haven’t heard about Critical Role is basically zero.
The things this situation posed in the article illuminate are that proper government oversight and distribution of concerns are a necessary part of balancing power. The tensions designed into a system help address its edge cases to varying degrees. And the article points out how to manage one of these situations generally--it's an excellent list of insights. Automation should be balanced with humans in the loop, automated systems are imperfect, humans are too. Balanced systems with separations of concerns yield good results. Discretion can be exercised and applied appropriately and the relationships with their respective concerns can sort out these edge cases and share that info when and where it furthers common interest.
Cities are more efficient and sustainable. Most importantly, cities bring people together to enable cooperation, therefore acting as a multiplier on what is produced and generally making humanity better off.

What’s needed are better run cities.
Yes, it's easy to trick human drivers with visual illusions and even cause a collision [1]. One example is the "invisible rope prank" where two people pretend to stretch a rope across a street, causing drivers to stop. I don't understand why it's a big deal that a machine learning system can be tricked by adversarial data but nobody cares that human drivers can also trivially be tricked.

> Yes for various periods of time there were various efforts to construct such an identity, to serve various ends of the people doing so.

No, I'm not talking about some vague various-periods-of-time generality.

Every concrete identity current in American society, including “White”, is a product of White supremacy, and currently reflects identification with shared experience under White supremacy, which, for those the White, is being on the side of prejudiced institutional power.

Whiteness as a racial identity (not as an ancestry, not as description of skin color, but as a racial identity) is, entirely, about prej5 plus institutional power.
What do they do in the conservative cities that's more successful?

SF is over 5x denser than Dallas, which is the densest major city in Texas. The problem with homelessness is people can't afford to live in homes. It is a lot easier to avoid homelessness when you have essentially endless space to build housing.
Nice. Might be interesting to try ctx.scale(0.9,1) or whatever ratio approximates the pixel shape on the Amiga in that video mode...would square up the shape of the floppy.
The filter, exactly. You will probably only read ~5000 books in your lifetime so targeting the best of the best will maximise your enjoyment. Of course you should pursue an author/series/subject that you particularly enjoy. It's also nice to read books that friends recommend so that you can share the experience with them.
SF’s homeless problem is out of control in a way that it isn’t in most large cities. You can’t say “that’s just life”.
Where are you seeing this multi-master feature? As far as I can tell, it uses standby nodes, not multiple active coordinators.
But did that sound correct that they’d allow any robbery? Using that logic, Texas allows any robbery under $2500:

Texas Penal Code § 31.03

(3) a Class A misdemeanor if the value of the property stolen is $750 or more but less than $2,500;

(4) a state jail felony if:

(A) the value of the property stolen is $2,500 or more but less than $30,000, or the property is less than 10 head of sheep, swine, or goats or any part thereof under the value of $30,000;
The intelligence community has been known to direct and cultivate media assets. [0]

Less directly, much of news reporting is dependent upon access to exclusive and sometimes anonymous sources. There's little to prevent some of those sources from being honeypots meant to indirectly manipulate reporters into parroting a given narrative.

Even so, I doubt that antipathy towards China's being driven by any centralized authority. We're entering an era of great power competition with the country, its (ostensible) ideology has historically existed in opposition to the US, and many still see it as the poster-boogyman for the hollowing out of American industries.

There's always been tension, and ever since the Trump administration began imposing tariffs and clamping down against Chinese IP and technology theft, it's incidentally become more present in the public's consciousness.
