You’ll at least have to prove negligence if you want to sue for libel (assuming you count as a private figure).

Now, I’m not going to actually say that you’re wrong to claim that Google runs Safe Browsing in a negligent manner. But I will say that, if you’re going to go with that, then you’re going to have to say what they neglected to do. Have a human review all their entries? Apple does that, and they get just as many complaints. Get rid of Safe Browsing entirely? It was created to solve real problems, and those problems aren’t just going to go away.
There's a positive expected value to such positions, specifically espoused on a place like Hacker News. Among venture backed businesses there's affirmative action for that kind of right leaning thinking.

For people who don't read or, apparently, Google for five seconds, verisimilitude and truth are the same thing. To be fair, that's true of everyone who doesn't read, not just libertarians.
I worked in Mountain View and lived in Palm Springs for a while and used to commute back and forth through SFO/PSP.

Im convinced you could take damn near anything through SFO tech wise, cause they've seen it all. Meanwhile explaining to the TSA people in Palm Springs why I've got 3 laptops, let alone 4 dozen cell phones was always a hassle and a half.
> They have done the same thing time and again during similar transitions or new designs.

Yeah, they usually do this without saying anything. What's crazy is that they confirmed. With MacRumors of all sites.
Ironically, their move to their own ARM chips probably killed a lot of music production workflows. Given how slow the music software industry moves, I bet most will stay with their Intel Macs or move to a PC.

> There isn't a scalability issue from a technical perspective. Block size limits were originally just to protect against spam.

> Ethereum and bitcoin cash already have more transaction throughput than bitcoin.

Sure, but consider the size of the blockchain of Ethereum. Right now, it is around 6.5 terabytes. It is a 'scalability problem' if you take the premise that everyone should be able to verify the blockchain with a normal residential computer. If you don't think that that is important, then there is indeed no issue.

> That is a mining method, transaction throughput is a matter of blocksize * block generation time.

I guess you are right. The mining method is orthogonal to the total transaction that can be validated.

> Like what?

I used the Lightning Network as an example. You can use for instant payments, but it can be hindered by liquidity shortages on the network and less clearance certainty. If you are okay with that, you can then proceed to use this network. If not, then another option may come up that satisfies your risk assessment.

> With any decentralized cryptocurrency you sign your transaction and wait for it to be included in a block. It is simple and there is no risk.

Sure, and that is indeed how bitcoin works. I think you are criticizing the fact that bitcoin does it very slowly, but then consider again that doing it quicker would increase the total blockchain size and possibly jeopardize the decentralization.

> What framework and what features are you talking about?

The idea that Bitcoin (as a network) will be composed of building blocks on top of the blockchain.

Yes, the subtle shift to "net" population change is again hiding the story.

change in population = migration from rest of word - californians leaving the state + births - deaths

In California, that means existing residents are moving out, people from the rest of the world are moving in. That has led to record low growth rates in 2019 (https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/05/california-populati...) and an estimated population decline in 2020 (https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/California-s-pop...)

In some sense, it doesn't matter whether population goes up or down, we should not have a policy that population must always go up. But for CA the problem is that wealthier people are leaving while poorer people are moving in. This is exarcebated by a policy of high income taxes and low real estate taxes -- real estate is much less mobile than people. And this is further exarcerbated by a policy of very progressive income taxes, which makes the state budget sensitive to a small number of wealthier households leaving.

You’re uninformed about the situation in Texas. Electricity is regulated in Texas more of less the same way as its regulated everywhere else: regulated monopolies control the distribution grid, and power is generated in regulated markets and fed into the grid. That basic mechanism is used not only in the US, but Europe too: https://fsr.eui.eu/electricity-markets-in-the-eu/ (“Please note that while in the EU electricity markets have been deregulated, other regulatory models can be in place in other parts of the world.”). The problem in Texas wasn’t free market for energy specifically, but failure on the part of ERCOT (a quasi-regulatory body that oversees the grid) to impose appropriate reliability requirements in the face of unpredictable climate events.

Very true, ownership is what it's all about. In the real world there can be 100 exact copies of a Picasso but the only one that has enduring value is the original. NFTs become the place holders for originals in digital. It's what people will value and will pay for over time. As an NFT owner you own a portfolio of rights to the work. What are they? One very important one is resale. But we don't know all of them, yet .They will be defined as people start to use them and the courts/laws decides what they will enforce. But without place holders there's no way to apply the rules.

A real world example is the idea of owning a copyright. What do you own there? The right to monetize it, yes. Bragging rights, yes. The right to resell it, yes. And others I can't think of. If someone decides to encroach on any of the rights then you can go to court and seek retribution.

I don't understand the framing of the article when they say

> The number of people leaving California typically tracks with the amount entering the state. But the findings show that wasn’t the case in the fourth quarter of 2020, when 267,000 people left the state and only 128,000 entered.

So that's 130k people leaving for one year (not a quarter like the way it's phrased, I've looked up the statistics and 130k a year makes more sense). And the negative growth of the state's population began before the pandemic. I'm failing to see how losing 0.3% of your population is not the beginning of an exodus?

"severely underbuilt for decades "

First - there is no such thing as 'under built'.

A community can house as many people as it houses - and that's that.

There can be an 'amount of new development relative to other places' - but not without a massive dose of 'housing ideology' can you say how much is over or under.

Second, the notion that 'there was less building for decades and then a lot of building, but not enough to catch up' doesn't really make sense, because even with an ideological view of 'how much is correct' there can be no such thing as 'pent up unfulfilled demand from previous building'. There are not a bunch of people living in Calgary or Seattle 'waiting' for the opportunity if only affordability was there.

Plenty of places in the world are 'more expensive' than neighbouring regions and yet don't 'build out quickly'.

Lastly, and most importantly, Vancouver has built up quite dramatically over the last two decades, and even as it has done this, affordability has plummeted.

The problem with 'NIMBYism and Housing' is the degree to which that position is ideological and that people don't recognize it as such.

There is no such thing as 'over/under' building for any specific community, there is only such a thing relative to net demand in nation for example that is either growing or shrinking for natural reasons or migration.
Incompletely processed is more like it. The deadline for receipt of information from employers, etc. is Jan 31 with scaling penalties for tardiness.
> It is a lot easier to avoid homelessness when you have essentially endless space to build housing.

This is hyperbole and dramatically wrong. It's one of those statistics that's repeated in Bay Area circles but has no bearing on reality.

Houston metro is almost the same size as the entire 9-county Bay Area metro: 7M population, 10K sq mi.

Bay Area 9 county: 7.4M population, 7K sq mi.

Houston metro pop density = 0.7K people / sq mi.
Bay Area 9 county = 1.05K people / sq mi.

So, the Bay Area 9 county is only 1.5 times as dense as Houston, largely because Houston allows many more high rises.
Volunteerism is much rarer than paid work, and paid work prefers proprietary too get the money to pay.

If anything under 950 is a misdemeanor and San Francisco isn't pressing charges on anything that isn't a felony, it's effectively legalized theft. You don't need to rob anyone if you can walk into any store and take whatever you want and the police do nothing about it.

Watch some recent episodes of Soft White Underbelly with homeless people in SF. It will really open your eyes to how much the problem is the cities disinterest in doing anything at all to fix things. All of their 'fixes' are really just enablement.
You got downvoted for some reason, but that's a totally legit thing to say in my opinion.

However, the problem of Jewish assimilation in Europe was much more complicated than you might imagine. Prior to the United States, not many places in history really let Jews assimilate. A notable example is China, where Jews moved over the last few thousand years only to always vanish due to assimilation. Non-religious Jews (ie. those willing to assimilate) are vanishing in the United States, too, because the local population is not particularly intolerant of assimilation.

In Europe, however, assimilation was largely not an option, even for Jews willing to assimilate, and even after WWII. This very topic is what spurred Theodore Herzl to become a Zionist, after initially rejecting it for many years. There's a whole book about it: Theodor Herzl: From Assimilation to Zionism [1], but if you search the web you can find plenty of information about it.

To a certain extent, housing is a statewide problem (prop 13) which the city has limited power to address. To another extent, the lack of a National affordable healthcare program and support for people in duress amplifies the problem even further.

The city has also taken a more humane approach to dealing with the homeless rather than incarcerating or throwing them elsewhere. Most of the homeless suffer from drug/alcohol related issues and the city has tried different approaches to solving this problem.

Overall, it’s a confluence of many problems that makes it very difficult to “solve” the homelessness problem. Comparing to another city with different circumstances isn’t really helpful; they’re not facing the same situation.
> First - there is no such thing as 'under built'.

Yes, there is. In a regime of rapidly increasing life expectancy, there is a demographic certainty of future housing needs.

Sure, in a manner of speaking. You can set different profiles to automatically run a console application, so setting one to "ssh user@host" gives you a profile that starts a given SSH instantly in its own tab.

I've been doing that for over two years now and I wouldn't go back to PUTTY for anything. Especially since the latest OpenSSH for Windows supports Yubikeys; the version Microsoft provides officially is a bit too old for that but if you use Chocolatey or download from the OpenSSH for Windows Github area you get a version that absolutely does work well.
The paper was submitted late. Because of this, and probably previous actions, there was a special go/no-go review instead of a weeks-long back and forth.

Of course that's not true. It creates a separation of concerns where the user chooses the trade-off which is most appropriate for them between centralization and decentralization, and can easily move to a different solution if their needs change.

The coffee was not merely "hotter than you anticipated" (although that's at least sort of right), it was near boiling: McDonald's required franchisees to hold coffee at 180–190 °F, much closer to actual boiling than what other establishments hold coffee at, which is typically twenty degrees below that in that area. She had third degree burns on six percent of her body, six rather sensitive percent. She needed an eight day hospital stay just for skin grafts. I once dug up the photos, by the way, they're rather unpleasant, and I say that as someone who has attended autopsies.

Of course, the temperature differences may not seem like much, but a ten degree drop at that point changes the time from "skin graft city" from three seconds to perhaps four or five times that.

Final verdict, before settlement, was $640,000, not "millions." The parties settled out of court for an undisclosed final amount less than $600,000.
This is a little sad. Announcing it discontinued partly confirms iMac Pro as a product category wont exist in their next line up. i.e There wont be any iMac Style All in one design with Apple Silicon, ECC memory and 10Gbps Ethernet. If you want that you will need to go Mac Pro.

While we have always known iMac Pro was a stopgap solution. Seeing an All in One design capable of dissipating ~600W TDP Max is quite amazing. And I have always wished Apple moved that design to its consumer iMac range with powerful CPU and GPU hardware.

Hopefully there will still be a place for 32 Core Apple Silicon within the upcoming iMac lineup.

I left SF 8 months ago after renting a small room for 5 years at ~$2k/month with housemates. By moving ~150 miles away I was able to buy my first house, ~2100 sqft on 4 acres (!) for ~$600,000. Any thoughts on what to do when the pandemic ends and employers make us come back to the Bay Area office?

I really do love San Francisco, it's so naturally beautiful, the hills give perspectives of communities, so many neighborhoods and main streets, so much stimulation, I learned about deep learning from housemates there in 2015 and was able to make a living out of it that I probably wouldn't have been able to elsewhere. Wish I listened to my other housemates espousing bitcoin and the original ethereum ico...

I made $200k salary last year and yet have no prospect for ownership of a nice home anywhere in the Bay Area, let alone San Francisco, and I'm one of the lucky ones. Even the shitty houses where I grew up near Compton, CA are asking more than half a mil now. Not sure how this all ends...
