> I'm failing to see how losing 0.3% of your population is not the beginning of an exodus?

It could be the beginning of an exodus, but it is not strong evidence that an exodus will follow. If done for affordability reasons, it reduces demand a bit to create a new equilibrium with supply.

Anyways, I’m not clear why anyone with a background in tech would be confident that a 0.3% drop was evidence that a huge drop was just right around the corner.

The incarceration rate of SF county is higher than any country or major city in Europe. Persecution ain’t the issue. Lack of housing, healthcare and honourable work is.
On ramping cash is the most difficult as regulations are tighter. If your money is clear and you can obtain crypto with a paper trail then there are possibilities to break the paper train once on chain. NFTs don't help here but investing in an anonymous smart contact that gets "hacked", buying a token that is rug pulled, betting in a casino, or some other way to lose money to yourself. From there a mixer with a good anonymity set should be good enough.

If, as you suggested you can obtain crypto without a paper trail then your plan might work. Since there's no paper trail you could even setup multiple sock puppets.

Then it would be more sensible for your CleanWallet to be owned by an NFT Art producing company. The become popular "over time" using your sock puppets and may even garner real attention (commissions per sale isn't uncommon and is a free bonus for the fees you've spent).

Alternatively you could run the NFT platform and take X% commission. With your sock puppets you mint and buy NFTs left and right. Maybe you'll even get some real business.

Both of these ideas shouldn't be difficult to off It's not uncommon for a crypto company to invest in other crypto companies which could add another layer of in direction.

This is all quite speculative and the ideas require a decent amount of effort. For the most part I agree that the use of crypto and NFTs to launder money is a bit overblown.

Tangentially related, I've been thinking about how it is somewhat difficult to describe state machines in regular textual code, and it would be nice to have a drag-and-drop visual interface for mapping out the states and transitions, then tie regular code to the transition events.

Is there anything like that out there? Or a good open source diagramming library that might lend itself to prototyping this?

I suppose if, as has been my experience, “feature complete” actually means “whatever features ship with Exchange” then you’re right. But isn’t that the tautology of enterprise software? Vendors build a moat of features which end up in enterprise RFPs and ultimately lock out other vendors - not because the features are necessary or even useful, but just because they exist and, perhaps, some department head thinks it might be useful one day - or, more likely in my experience, the consulting firm involved in procurement gets a cut of the action. Having been on both sides of this process, I know exactly how it works in practice.

So I’m sure that for some huge enterprises, the complete feature set from Exchange is actually necessary, or at least desirable. But for everyone else - including many companies I’ve worked in at a senior level, and almost certainly many of the victims of this vulnerability - I’d call shenanigans right back at you.

It’s an untenable situation to have tens of thousands of people shooting up heroin, defecating openly on city streets and accosting the public — sometimes violently — while local residents foot the bill. This is a federal issue. West coasters deserve to live in cities with reasonable standards of public health and safety, and local governments are unable to solve the problem through social programs without attracting even more homelessness.

West coast lawlessness demands federal funding. Tent city occupants are for all intents and purposes refugees, and we basically need a UN-style refugee camp for them to live in.

I would say 500 if you are lucky.

I tried to read as many books as possible for a period of time between getting an ereader and huge book dumps. I found I could read a book every 3 days on average. Keeping that pace you could read 100 books a year. People can't keep up that pace. Of the people who read if they finish more than 5 books it would be amazing.

You have periods where you read more like in school. Most people will not have read 50 books by the time they have finished school. Books on tape could increase the numbers.

Most people will have read 5 or less books. Those who do read will probably average 54. To get to 500 would be amazing.

To get to 5,000 would take you 50 years of reading every second you could outside of work.
I tend to agree that's a somewhat safe bet and it gave me pause making this comment.

Huh, how long ago was that? I've been recently using the Python plugin in IDEA while fixing up a rather important script, and it's very good at a) telling me when I'm doing bad PEP8 things, and then adding PEP8 compliant formatting when I tell it to autoformat and b) highlighting type hint mismatches.

But this may be a recent improvement, I only work on Python sporadically. My next wish for IDEA's Python plugin is Poetry support.

Oh yes, those sites are infuriating. Every first answer is a copied and pasted generic response asking to run "sfc /scannow" or some other borderline useless incantation.

I also skip right past it and usually find better results on Serverfault, Spiceworks, or even Reddit. The gold standard seems to be blog posts by some random dude where they actually spend a couple of paragraphs describing how the fault occurs, and how the fix works, instead of just providing a command prompt one-liner and sending you on your way.

> you cannot lose access to your basic bank account and money in that account unless a judge says otherwise.

"Losing access to the money in that account" is blatantly stealing from you. It's should be obvious that no company should be able to do this under any circumstances, but that is a separate issue from the question of adequate competition.

You still need competition because a monopoly can find an unlimited number of ways to abuse their customers and regulators can only address the ones they foresee ahead of time.

> The solution to the problem of "every citizen needs a bank account to function" wasn't "let the free market sort it out".

Which allows banks to remain an uncompetitive yet inherently necessary market. But how is that better than having enough competition between banks that anyone can find one willing to provide service?
Shoplifting is tough because it can often be cheaper for the store to write it off than to sufficiently improve security. I think a misdemeanor for theft is fine, but I agree that these laws should be enforced.

Art NFTs are a great way to launder money, but they're not unique in that aspect. There are plenty of ways to launder money with smart contacts and art NFTs aren't special.

Not all NFTs are art NFTs either, it is becuase it is art and has "intangible value" that gives sales plausible deniability. Trading card NFTs, in game item NFTs and other NFTs that have tangible value don't suffer the same issue.

Critical role is itself a pun on critical roll, a common tabletop mechanic. They didn't invent the term and don't have a monopoly on it
Just to add some colour to this:

This. I moved outside of Portland a few months ago
after three serious incidents on my property involving
violent vagrants. In all three cases the police took
over an hour to show up and did absolutely nothing.

I had a man trying to break in to my backdoor. When
I confronted him and demanded that he leave, he began
swinging punches and pulled out a knife. I managed to
restrain him and the 13 year old girl next door called
911 (in hysterics). After keeping this guy pinned
for 30 mins while waiting for the cops, I gave up and
released him. He then attempted to assault me again. So
I pinned him for another 15 mins, the neighbors called
911 again. Still no cops. So I let him go and kept
kicking the guy in the ass (literally) until he left
my property.

The cops show up about 75 minutes after the first
call and said "Our hands are tied. We can't do
anything." They didn't even bother to look for the
guy. They just wanted to leave.

I've seen this happen first hand in developing
countries. You know what happens when law enforcement
doesn't do its job? Violence escalates due to rise of
vigilantism - as communities are left with no choice
other than to employ street justice.

After three incidents (none as bad as the first) I found
myself concluding "The next time one of these guys tries
to break into my property or threaten my family I am
simply going to kick the shit out of them... There is
no point calling the police."

I am a peaceful person that has never even been
in a fight. That's when I knew it was time to leave
Portland. Who wants to live like this? I don't want to
assault anyone, but I also want to live in peace and
feel assured my family is safe.

I don't know all the stats, but I know Waco, TX has a large homeless population since I helped out a bit there when I was younger. A quick search shows that Waco spends $39,000/yr per homeless individual[0], and the famous Church Under the Bridge[1] (an open-air gathering under the I-35 overpass) has been unable to meet normally but is making sure that people still get fed [2]. (They are mention feeding 80 people--there were hundreds when I attended, but there are a number of kitchens around so it sounds like most attendees are getting their food elsewhere).

I don't know why anyone would assume that homeless people are starving in Texas. What do you think all the shelters and kitchens are for?

Dune is such a great book.

For real though. I’ve had anxiety attacks and tried to put myself outside the situation like an observer. Just let the emotion wash over you but don’t react to it. It’ll pass and you’ll feel better and come to terms with the issue that induced the fear.
Extremely so.

I also hear emerging possibilities for machine learning techniques in this dynamic space.
The service looks great, but one pet peeve I have with 50% of landing pages, including yours: you mention that there is a free tier and a subscriber tier with no indication of what features fall where.

I have no way of telling whether a) everything I've seen on the rest of the landing page is free, and there's some hidden content that would be a killer feature for me; or b) I'll sign up only to find that I get a gimped experience compared to what I've seen.

This info is only present in a tiny site directory link in the footer, please either add that link prominently to the body, or better yet move all the content of that page to your free/sub section.

A majority of your potential users will never make it past the landing page if it isn't clear what they're actually getting.
Yes. And I think that the glue also is a security feature against manipulation of the parts.
Yeah, if you buy into their ecosystem, and then you're locked into their stuff. How many online photo archive systems have gone and went in the last 10 to 15 years? Or how many end up fucking with photo quality at some point? Or lock your account with no recourse? Etc. The cloud is just someone else's computer. I'd rather vendors like Apple gave us the ability to build our own private clouds instead of locking us into theirs.
I feel like it's better to embed the tool in a language, or many community supported languages than embed a programming language in the tool.

I work in European adtech and the GDPR regulations have meant that a loooot of players had to scramble to remove all the information that was stored in datalakes that could be used to identify you.

I enjoy Pride and Prejudice, Count of Monte Cristo, the Figaro trilogy, and the parts of Les Mis that I didn't skip (finding the gems in the long side notes is tough).

Translator is important because I've tried to push through some other works with whatever was free online and it was rough.

I got an HP48G in high school for UIL[1] competitions at the direction of a math teacher, and once I got the hang of it, it's been hard to use anything else. The competitions were a mix of math and seeing how many problems you could go through in 30 mins using a calculator. Pretty fun once you get the hang of it, and the HP48G/RPN did give me more time on non-numerical problems. The IrDA is finicky, but the programming and builtin features are great. The feature set is a bit much for a high school student maybe, but I used it through all of college too. I probably played a bit more minesweeper on it than I should have.

The HP prime and Droid48 apps are nice, but I just don't need calculators as much anymore.

I imagine he could do a fair amount of cool stuff with a mill, but his shtick (as far as I can tell) is to push 3d printing as far as he can to implement interesting stuff.
Yes. It is.

One difference is you see all intermediate results. That's huge for avoiding mistakes. In-fix, if you type (5+5)*(9+9), you only see the end result. Post-fix 5 5 + 9 9 + *, you see 10 and 18 along the way.

Another is the stack lets you easily reuse subresults. If you've computed the total energy and want to use it three places, you pick it off of the stack. All your work is there. It's very common that this happens.

It's an incredible productivity boost once you get used to it.
