Did you read the whole article? They already had trapped the mouse and then deliberately led the cat to slowly torture the mouse to death.

It's one thing if the cat finds the mouse, but to go out of one's way to trap an animal yourself and then present the helpless trapped animal to another animal so they can be tortured for hours is extremely sadistic and psychopathic, in my opinion.
"Welcome to BBC News, America's most trusted news source".

A low quality hodgepodge of words, masquerading as an article promoting the BBC's Panorama's Are you Scared Yet, Human?

A few low quality choice of quotes:

Speaking to BBC's Panorama, Brad Smith said it will be "difficult to catch up” with the rapidly advancing technology.

Eric Schmidt, former Google chief executive who is now chair of the US National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, has warned that beating China in AI is imperative.

Seth Moulton, chair of the US Future of Defence Task Force is urging tech companies to support the Department of Defence. "Because we're in a race, because we are in this competition, that’s really what it comes down to,” he said. “Are you going to help us win this race or are you going to essentially be against us?"

Are we sure this Ministry of Truth style doublespeak isn't already here?

Russ Cox's articles on regex engine remain the gold standard: https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/

I remember having built my own regex engine (for educational purposes only) following his articles almost a decade ago. Great fun.

Another fun thing you can do (and I have done) is that given a regex, construct strings that fully match the regex. It's not hard at all, but it's quite subtle if you want good results. For example given the regex "a+b+" the code can simply create strings like "ab", "aab", "aaab"... (with one "b" always), but it is slightly more challenging to have it output "aab", "abb", "aabb", etc, which involves forming the Cartesian product of infinite streams in a smart way.

Problems with homeless is deeper than finding a place to sleep. For example, some homeless people voluntarily choose to sleep on the street even when they have homes (like one man I knew who refused to go home after his wife death after many years of struggling with cancer). Some people would destroy that property that would be given to them, and will be thrown out by the building administration. Homelessness is partially mental health problem, it cannot be solved just by handing out free apartments.
"fell into homelessness in L.A. "

Nope. Been there. Done that. Got the scars.

Thank you for sourcing your data!

That carbonbrief article links to the underlying paper at :
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-20011-8

The paper reports on an update of previous studies, and the results are reported mainly as changes from the previous material to reflect the impact that changes in the modelling decisions.

I can't tell where the 2.1 cm to 5 cm numbers come from (searching the paper for "2.1" is interesting).

Here is a table from the paper reported as total sea level impact estimates and 1 stddev range, rather than deltas :
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-20011-8/tables/1

It reports the expected 2100 see level rise from Greenland ice melt of 6 different scenarios, in two methodologies. The low, low stddev at 3.7 cm, and the high, high stddev at 25.6 cm.

And of course sea level may also be rising from other sources, that just isn't covered in the paper you mention.

You get to pick your personal items to worry about based on your individual assumptions and interests, but if your opinion is based in part on that specific paper you might want to reread it.

It seems to be more that in cold climates governments are compelled to provide shelter for homeless people so they don't die on the street, whereas in warmer climates governments are okay with leaving them on the street.

Both San Francisco and New York have similar proportions of homeless people, but New York has shelter beds for almost all of them whereas San Francisco has shelter beds for only 40%.
I have read that the use of the “meaningless it” with an impersonal verb like this in English is due to an influence from the Celtic languages that were extant across Britain prior to the Anglo-Saxon invasion.
It's probably the same park. Pay money, dig through dirt, keep what you find. Pretty rare to actually find one I've heard, and normally small. The 2.2-carat one there wouldn't normally be used for jewelry because it's pretty yellow. But it's a good story for the kids.

What is that app they are using in the screenshot?
Ah yes, off-by-one errors when filling a PCM buffer can be loud. Speaking from experience, it’s similarly loud when you accidentally fill an integer PCM buffer with floating point data.

My story: I physically broke an indoor bike trainer by writing a mobile app.

I was fed up with the rent-seeking subscription-based app that the vendor provided for the machine, and wanted to write a simple app to be able to change the training parameters over Bluetooth. It worked via a standard BLE fitness machine protocol, so I’ve spent a few hours creating a prototype iOS app for interacting with it via the CoreBluetooth framework, based on the free docs from Bluetooth.org.

Everything worked wonderfully, up until the point of adding a slider to the UI for changing the “hardness” parameter of the current session. You see, changing the hardness parameter adjusted an electromagnetic braking mechanism inside the machine, and the slider I’ve put on the UI was set to its “continuous” mode, which meant that it was generating a steady stream of change events while dragging, basically at the framerate of the phone (60 fps). The designers of the machine probably didn’t anticipate that someone would be flooding it with 60 “set hardness” commands per second, and the actuator doing the adjustment simply broke from the overload after a few seconds of me dragging the slider…

I’m not sure exactly which part broke, but there was a loud crack from inside, and the braking power could no longer be adjusted at all. I could have disassembled the machine, but it wasn’t even mine (it was lent to me by my brother-in-law to try it out), and was still under warranty, so I gave it back and told that it spontaneously broke :^)
Opinions and attitudes can change a lot in ten years.
That is well and all, but seems like a bit of a distraction from the OP. While 2/3 of homeless may be transient homeless, it seems incredibly unlikely that most of the people living in tents fall into that category rather than into the chronically homeless camp.
I'll say it again: The common denominator to all these attacks in tens of countries is that it only affects government employees.

I put that down to these being workplace injuries. There is something that is being done to these government employees or there is something that they do as part of their job that is causing the 'attacks'.

It's an advantage for the government to blame 'adversaries' instead of having to cough up millions or more for Workers' Compensation claims.

San Francisco has some of the best services available out of all California cities. And yet 70% of homeless people lived in SF for at least a year before becoming homeless while 55% lived in SF for a decade or more. Another 14% lived in the Bay Area. Only 8% came from out of state.

While this practice is certainly bad, it seems like an inevitable consequence of rating professional development based on publication in specific journals. Perhaps if they were evaluated based on the feedback of their manager and coworkers, as in other fields, this would be less of an issue.

> one big way to prevent this downward trend in quality of life is to build more cheap housing

One pedantic quibble. It's not necessary to build cheap housing specifically. It's perfectly fine simply to build more housing of any type. Today's new expensive housing will indirectly create more cheap housing in the pre-existing housing stock, by pulling demand out of the market.

Throughout all of American history, new housing has almost exclusively been relatively expensive housing. The rich prefer to live in new housing stock, and the poor prefer to get discounts on old housing stock. The same way that a robust new car market creates a secondary market for cheap used cars.

A lot of people with good intentions will try to block any type of development that doesn't specifically include affordable housing. But this is the exact opposite of what's needed. The best way to lower the cost of housing is to increase the supply of housing. And the best way to do that is to unleash developers whatever is most profitable whenever and whoever they want without government regulation and NIMBY activists getting in their way.

Reddit died when they added post locking to moderator powers. And it only got worse (more authoritarian) from there.

A brief history of reddit:

>We want to democratize the traditional model by giving editorial control to the people who use the site, not those who run it.

>— Reddit FAQ 2005

>We've always benefited from a policy of not censoring content

>A bastion of free speech on the World Wide Web? I bet they would like it," he replies. [reddit]'s the digital form of political pamplets.

>— u/kn0thing 2012

>We will tirelessly defend the right to freely share information on reddit in any way we can, even if it is offensive or discusses something that may be illegal.

>— u/reddit 2012

>We stand for free speech. This means we are not going to ban distasteful subreddits. We will not ban legal content even if we find it odious or if we personally condemn it. Not because that's the law in the United States - because as many people have pointed out, privately-owned forums are under no obligation to uphold it - but because we believe in that ideal independently, and that's what we want to promote on our platform. We are clarifying that now because in the past it wasn't clear, and (to be honest) in the past we were not completely independent and there were other pressures acting on reddit. Now it's just reddit, and we serve the community, we serve the ideals of free speech, and we hope to ultimately be a universal platform for human discourse (cat pictures are a form of discourse).

Utter bait & switch.
The mental hospitals were bad. When something is known to be bad in California, it is made illegal, thus solving the problem completely (/s).

There was a similar thing with the foster care system; I'm not sure if it was state-wide or just my county, but they banned foster care group homes (which had worse outcomes than typical foster families[1]). Of course everyeone already knew that it was better to place these kids in a typical foster family, but there was nowhere else to place them. Now there are plenty of "Theraputic residential treatment centers" which seem to be roughly the same thing, just with a different name.

(Side note: if you can, become a foster family; there aren't enough)

1: Even the whole "outcomes are worse" is a bit dubious since usually kids don't end up in group homes until they've been kicked out of one or more foster families, so these kids were already being failed by the system before ending up in group homes.
And likely they are only spending it because of a court order.
I don't know if you'd call the UC (University of California) system satellites, but they seem to work well.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe a USB-C cable connected to a USB-C charger is cold by default until something is connected. Don't try this at home either, but it should also be perfectly safe to plug a USB-C cable into two different wall chargers.

Well let's say that something is happening at a certain pace. Then it starts slowing down. The reason we can say it is "slowing down" is because we have the notion of time that exists regardless of how fast things are changing, or not.

So if nothing is happening I would think it means that things are happening at zero speed. Again we can say the speed is zero, because we have the notion of time that doesn't change juts because things slow down.
If C lets you shoot yourself in the foot, it doesn't mean that you should do it! If you cast something then you need to take a moment to think about it first and check if it makes sense and whether it is really needed.

Thanks, that's helpful. I have no love for the Koch brothers or libertarians in general, but TBH I think this is a "broken clock is right twice a day" scenario. After reading the case PDF, I'd have to agree with the decision that "engineer" is such a vague term that it shouldn't be restricted like that. It's like trying to limit calling yourself a "thinker" or something. I can see how the radical anti-government folks picked up on that case. FWIW, if he had tried claiming he was a "licensed professional engineer", I would definitely see that as a false/fraudulent claim that the state absolutely has the right to disallow.

Regardless, thanks for actually listing names of who's involved. No offense intended to the GP, it just annoys me when people use terms like "heavily suspect people", as that casts aspersions without actually saying who or what. Your links were much more helpful.
Careful resistance monitoring could probably make 5 Amps sufficiently safe to avoid fires. But that's about the limit of it without the cable starting to get very bulky (due to needing thicker copper to keep heating down).

If you want a cable spec which is never the limiting factor for whatever new gizmo you're trying to design, and therefore want a high power limit, then it's really the voltage that needs to increase, since it can go a lot higher before engineering the insulation gets hard.
I suspect that you're excluding a nontrivial proportion of homeless people who simply do not wish to live with the burden of employment and responsibilities of rent/mortgage when they can live outdoors in perpetually nice weather.
