Normally I would think your point a strong one, and that the police should just do their job regardless. But it's difficult to exaggerate how radical are Boudin's policies.[1] It's so bad that I think the police are justified in this case in letting some problems openly fester so Boudin can take the heat now, rather than playing a game of musical chairs, complicate the story, and give Boudin plausible deniability. I mean, it's an inevitable consequence of his policies, so why bother trying to thwart the "will of the people"? This is especially true when the police could be using those resources to patrol residential neighborhoods in an effort to try to prevent some residential burglaries, which are also sky rocketing.

The interesting thing is that Boudin only won because of instant run-off voting. Both the moderate and conservative candidates won more votes, but not 50%, and Boudin had the name recognition to be many people's second choice.

[1] It's not just the policies of trying to avoid unnecessary and ineffective incarceration, it's that Boudin offers zero alternatives. For example, to justify failing to press felony charges for a violent burglary against a repeat violent offender who would a week later kill two people, Boudin explained that his office had forwarded the matter to the person's parole officer. But did they ever follow up to see if the parole officer had decided to revoke parole or attempt to reign in their parolee at all? AFAIK, no, the DA's office simple threw the matter over the fence. It just boggles the mind. Boudin's policies are simply a dereliction of his responsibilities, pure and simple. It's a real-life Batman movie where a corrupt or inept DA simply stops enforcing the law. Or like if the Joker was elected the DA. It really puts the cops in a bind. Why bother arresting someone when you know they're going to walk that same day, return to doing exactly the same thing, and with little chance the DA would prosecute? (Zero chance of prosecution for property crimes, mind you.) I mean, in this absurd context such an arrest could be argued to be a form of harassment. And, to reiterate, that's not an exaggerated or hyperbolic characterization of the situation. It's gotten so bad that the police are using Twitter to name and shame some of the more egregious cases (of which there are many), and AFAIK nobody else in city government nor the press is chastising the police for playing political games that in any other context would be unacceptable.
Note to HN. I know personally the attackers, and they send me proof of the attack before making it public. They are just two south america teens having fun cause they can't leave home. They were doing just for the lolz, there is no complex supply chain attack or state-actors involved. Just two kids pwning billions of VC money.
> you're not actually investing in capacity, the way you would be if you bought an IPO or even just a piece of equipment you could use to make something.

while you are not directly investing in capacity like you might in an IPO, purchasing stock does create the same outcome. It's just not _you_ who is doing the capacity investing directly, but someone else who does so, as a result of the chain of investments.
I'm a DD, my C packages (I'm also upstream) are built reproducibly. I have absolutely no idea how it's done.

To be clear, that means I have devoted zero effort to it, and certainly it didn't require discipline, I have absolutely no expertise in the process, and my knowledge of the dependency tree is "gcc -o x x.c" does the job.

The author is doing some powerful judging-of-books-by-covers without stepping back to look at the big picture. India's GDP is 15 years behind China's. On the scale of the countries, that is not much. India will catch up.

Also, China's powerful government isn't the thing making China wealthy, it is the seeds of growth that were laid back in the 1980s and 90s reforms. Like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenzhen . Can't spend the wealth until somebody makes it.

There are two factors. The tax code favors one form of compensation and low interest rate money means it is actually possible to execute this strategy. When companies borrow money to skip taxes you know that the central bank isn't doing its job properly.

> people also thought garbage collection was impossible in a systems language until Rust solved it

No, they didn't. Linear typing for systems languages had already been done in ats, cyclone, and clean, the latter two of which were a major inspiration for rust.

Venturing further into gc territory: long before rust was even a twinkle in graydon hoare's eye, smart pointers were happening in c++, and apple was experimenting with objective c for drivers.

The reason walmart's prices are stable is _because_ of the gambling of the market!

The financial engineering of modern day has managed to separate risk (which is what causes price fluctuations) from their underlying commodity/goods/etc, and sell that risk away to people who want to take it.

This allows those who want to not have risk (and thus stable prices) to have it - albeit yes, they pay a small premium for that. But ask any farmer and they prefer a lower, but stable price for many years, rather than the fluctuating price of produce.

So the gamblers, who by definition, want risk, take on all the risk. Thus, a functioning financial market is how this is all conducted.

Native JSON data type added to SQL and JDBC
The main thrust seems to be tooling in the db to give developers some idea of the performance impact of the code they write.

But most programmers are using frameworks and ORMs and things that hide away what is actually happening with the database. A normal developer can look at a chunk of code on their side and have no real idea of what is happening on the database behind them.

What webdevelopers need is backend profiling information e.g. actual SQL queries and timings, shown beside all the frontend profiling information (e.g. in webdeveloper tools in the browser).

This profiling introspection can come from tooling in front of the database(s).

I recall seeing a blog about how the Stackoverflow team have nice tooling that does this for them. (Impossible to google for words like "stackoverflow profiling" and things!)

If anyone can prove to me that this is an effect of Chesa Boudin being elected and not, say, a global pandemic causing social distress that led to increased crimes nationwide [1], I might see some justification for this. All I see now is correlation without causation.

As someone with mild social anxiety, the thought of doing something like that is utterly alien, even in my own country let alone somewhere else. I don't mean in a "i wouldn't do that" sort of way, but in an "i cannot even imagine/does not compute" sort of way.

Anyhow, good on you for living life :)

Not the OP, but my guess is that rust will do well for the sort of code that would be fast in c anyway: linear operations large, contiguous arrays. For pointer-chasing code, or code with lots of small objects, the little tricks you use in c aren't available (or at least, not as accessible), and the lack of gc and flexibility wrt references harms you.
Ah, so it's possible that they also used a water sprinkler system at SBG2. But still, I wonder how the fire protection system (water sprinkler, FM200, or otherwise) not save SBG2?

Depending on your nationality, a lot of countries have flexible tourist visas. For example, Americans can visit Armenia for 6 months, Albania for 12 months, Georgia for 12 months, India for 6 months at a time (up to 10 years), and so on.

In Europe, you also have many countries outside of the Schengen area, meaning that you can do three months in one then hop to another. E.g. spend 3 months in Berlin, then 3 months in Kyiv, then 3 months in Paris, then three months in Belgrade.
I am extraordinarily well informed on both Chesa Boudin and the broader movement to elect progressive DAs across the country. I am also very informed of San Francisco’s current and historic crime rates, as the former editor of 2 different local news outlets. San Francisco is not “going to shit” and crime has not increased to the degree Boudin’s critics imply it has. And to the extent that it has, nobody has made a convincing argument that it’s his fault.
> First, Rust prefers unique ownership and acyclic data structures. You can make cyclic structures work if you use RefCell and Rc and Weak, but you're giving up the static guarantees that the borrow checker gives you in favor of a bunch of dynamic checks for 'is this in use' and 'is this still alive',

One way to get around that is to instead of doing it like the very structureless async way actually impose lifetime restrictions on the lifetimes of async entities. For example, if you use the ideas of the structured concurrency movement ([x], for example but it has since been picked up by kotlin, swift and other projects), then the parent is guaranteed to live longer than any child thus solving most of the problem that way.

You're depending on being very lucky,

People go through three phases:
1. they are too scared to challenge authority
2. they are not scared of challenging authority
3. they realize they can just go somewhere else

Mature, intelligent Phase 3 people will only challenge authority if they know they're secure in doing so---if they trust you. But why should they trust you? They've never met you, you're just a job ad.
It was both JSON and the "pretty" URLs, which also don't have anything specific to do with REST but people immediately associate them with it, to the point some people call them "RESTful URLs".
A toast to that. Consumers generally dont care about how bad our code is as long as it solves their problem. If theres a price, all the better for it.
I haven't read the Chronicle article, but the linked KRON4 article (which I understand is unavailable in Europe) says that violent crime was down in 2020, but burglary[0], arson, and vehicle theft is up.

Also, it's hard to make comparisons between 2019 and 2020; the pandemic has changed a lot of things, including crime patterns. The petty crimes that are up are often crimes of opportunity[1], and people being locked up in their homes has provided a lot of added opportunity. But I feel like there's less opportunity for violent crime when people aren't out and about as much.

[0] Someone broke into my garage last summer and stole my bicycle; given where I live, it's not something I'd expect pre-pandemic when there was a lot more foot traffic and fewer people desperate for cash. Edit: to corroborate a sibling's comment, I didn't bother reporting the theft as I didn't expect anything useful to come of it. In hindsight, I probably should have, just to keep crime stats more accurate.

[1] On the flip side, muggings are also a crime of opportunity, but require people to be out and about, often late at night, which hasn't been the case so much over the last year, so I imagine muggings are down.
Hiding Content Responsibly
I think to truly get the interoperability you see in sci-fi you're gonna need to upend the large stack we currently build on and reconsider what we want to do with our software and computers. Adding APIs to everything is great for today's world, but all you're doing is gluing things together still. As we get less from physical chips, we'll have to get more efficient in computation, which means more standardized data formats from the start, less security concerns by using capabilities and a linked permissions system, remote computation rather than data retrieval, and things like that.

I think you have to take a several pronged approach, because even then you can't solve a problem like this with tech alone, you need other things like education, collaboration, freedom, and protection from maligned interests. That's really hard to do, I think maybe SpaceX did something on a similar level for space and soon internet connections, but they don't have free and open tech due to profit motives, so it's not advancing the state of space tech overall, just the tech at SpaceX.

Probably, you need a large nonprofit foundation with billions of dollars to just buy it's way into the market to get something grand like that adopted.

I might email you, not sure I have the motivation for API building and chatting about APIs that you seem to, but I do like generalizing problems into the simplest forms.

VLA81 – A ZX81 ULA Replacement
As long as you don't need to look for employment locally, it's relatively easy and inexpensive to get a long-term (12 months plus) visa. I enquired with immigration lawyers in three different EU countries where this was possible, and ended up obtaining a three-year visa in a fourth country. I would estimate this cost about 500 EUR.

If you have a lot of money (hundreds of thousands up to millions), you can effectively buy residency in most countries around the world.

Other countries allow border-running to renew your visa, some countries issue longer visa's on arrival, etc, etc.

Mostly, this all depends on your financial means, which country you choose to spend a longer time in, your levels of determination, and the skill of the immigration lawyer you choose.

What you are saying doesn't make sense. If engineers can earn $100k more then why wouldn't private companies build the fabs in the EU?
You can't conjure money out of nothing.

If anything, cheap engineers would make it easier to build the fabs and stay competitive internationally because that is how Taiwan is competing.

> The function color problem is a bit overblown, it hasn't broken nodejs yet either.

It didn't break Node because Node avoids function color problem altogether. Nobody writes blocking code in Node due to its single-threaded nature.

Function color problem is the difficulty of mixing blocking and async functions. It's especially annoying in Python, where you have to spawn a thread to call blocking functions from async functions, and welcome to mutithreading bugs.

In Node the problem doesn't exist, because you don't block in its blocking functions. You either do `await f()` or `f().then()`.

> We were forced to play by the rules and we bought 50 reviews to paint our wall.

Is dishonesty really the solution here? I would have thought the first port of call is get the employees that do like working you (you do have them?) to give their honest opinions on Google too, diluting the effect of one review.

Buying reviews (50 of them) to drown out a valid review from disgruntled employee doesn't seem ethical. This is where it gets grey: was it a valid review, or did the ex-employee make stuff up?

I'm shocked that Google would remove negative reviews if there were more positive ones. That is a very compelling reason to buy fake reviews, on Amazon, Google, or anywhere.
Of those, only Chernobyl can be reasonably compared to the loss of life of an airline crash.

Three Mile Island wasn't even a disaster, except for the wallets of the investors.

Working at Fukushima for 40 years was safer than your average construction job, even if you worked during the disaster.

And if you have to unfairly compare nuclear safety to airliners, also consider that airliner disasters have become 40 times less frequent than they were when Chernobyl happened.

Alsmost all of these happen here when a kid is jumping from behind an obstacle or running after something like a ball. The way you are taught to anticipate is to spot the children playing ~before~ they are even close to jumping in front of you car.

This is such a painful situation for Japan. When I visited a couple a years ago the preparations were still going full force. They were so proud and looking forward to hosting it. Really think they are between a rock and a hard place with any decision.

This together with all the sub-human conditions the workers in Qatar for the football world championship make it seem like organising events like this not something I would feel comfortable with hosting in my own country. It seems like it's a combination of hot potato and ego projects for specific people in governments.

hell, couple of years ago my country "won" the rights to host eurovision song festival. I'm not against investing money in a broad set of cultural activities. But looking at the amount of money it costed to host it felt not something that was worth the tax payers money. Rather we just payed the artists then all the pseudo glamour surrounding it.

It’s true that like in almost every city in America in 2020, some categories of crime went up in San Francisco in 2020, and I am still waiting for anyone to make a convincing argument that it’s because of the DA, or offer any proof that people stopped reporting crime because of the DA.

What’s interesting to me is that violent crime has indisputably not increased since Boudin was elected, yet his critics are constantly using the details of specific violent crimes as a rhetorical cudgel, insinuating that Boudin personally caused a wave of violent crime that simply is not happening.

The trend of the pandemic is that homicides are up, but property crimes are down. In SF, violent crimes are down, but property crimes are way up.

According to the original article:

> When looking closer, city police data shows that violent crimes like homicide, rape and robbery were down in 2020 compared to 2019. However, burglary, arson, and vehicle thefts rose.

This contrasts with the trend indicated in the article you posted:

> Rosenfeld says there has been some respite since property crimes took a nosedive as the pandemic began.

"Burglaries were down. Larcenies were down. You know quarantines kept people at home and burglaries tend to avoid occupied households," he explained. "When the shops are closed, there's no shoplifting, so larceny is reduced."

Boudin's controversial policies relate largely to property crimes, and some of the press coverage and outrage resulted from people who were released from custody for property crimes and went on to hurt/kill people soon thereafter.
