I think we are coming at this from 2 separate sets of foundational assumptions. I’m of the camp that companies are free to make devices and we are free to buy or not buy them. If we don’t like how they operate, we buy a competitor who does what we want. Hopefully enough people agree with us that a competitor will cater to us, or we can start our own. I know that some people start from a different set of assumptions that assumes we can just force the seller to sell us what we want. I don’t know that we can bridge that divide easily, but I wish you well. Thanks for the back and forth.

Sort by theft and that's just the reported number. We experienced theft about once a year. Never bothered to report.
Have you been to Detroit? The blight and violent crime are are far beyond San Francisco. Less feces and needles though.
Many cases are dropped by Boudin's office for insufficient proof, so police has to release suspects.
All Boudin needs to do is to not drop that one case involving him.
> The issue with San Francisco is that, like this author reported, you see so much brazen property crime [...] in otherwise upscale and/or touristy areas.

This is, in fact, the problem: that crime in SF isn’t as concentrated on the disenfranchised underclass as the elites prefer it to be.
Some of the Prime content (my point of view is as a consumer in India), seems to bank on portraying sex / sexuality in a more open manner (depictions of sexual acts, topless scenes, etc). Feels like there is a certain degree of planning to "exploit" this type of media, considering Indian society and media itself is fairly conservative.
What about using a HashSet<Rc<str>>. And returning a type that implements Drop. The drop method can remove the string from the cache when the last reference is dropped. Since the cache must be accessed by the interning function and drop, I used interior mutability. By putting the cache behind a Rc<RefCell<>>.

https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

With the same principle, we can use a static, arc and mutex to use a the cache as a global variable. And implement thread-safe string interning. Here, locking the cache at the wrong time during the drop can lead to a race condition.

https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

To make the InternedStr behaves a bit more like &str or an immutable String, I implemented Clone, Display, Pointer, conversion from &Interned to &str. Ideally it should probably resemble how String de-references to &str for everything (Deref<Target = str>).
Some of the male to female trans gender converts have even stated it themselves that they couldn't cut it in men's sports but they can make a living in women's sports.
If you don't propose to destroy the US justice system, you seem to have an enormous confidence in your ability to determine when exactly it should be just ignored. Maybe there are courts and legislative bodies in a democratic system, who are supposed to rule on such things?

Oh yes, sure Snowden could refuse. And the Russian intelligence services will, out of the goodness of their hearts, just stop asking.

Any connections between Russia and Snowden may have been investigated, but the results would not have been made public. That can wait until a trial, at the very least. But again, Snowden didn't stand trial, he defected to Russia...
A google search says in 2019 there were 41 murders in sf and 99 in brooklyn. though idk where to find crime by neighborhood. seems pretty equal when you account for population

Daddy Google need to keep them alive to avoid a lawsuit, so free money is guaranteed to keep coming.
Crime has exploded across the US since the start of COVID, not just SF. So I'm not convinced Chesa is to blame. Which isn't too say I'm a big fan of his either.

Homelessness is indeed a problem, but according to the biannual survey, most of the unhoused are from the bay area. This suggested the crisis is the result of skyrocketing rents and the steady disappearance of SROs. Yet another thing we can thank Nimbys for.

Shoplifting does appear to be a real issue, although it's unclear why it's so much worse in SF. Proposition 47 is statewide after all.

I was born and raised in SF. Crime was much much worse in the 80s and 90s. Not saying we don't need changes, but it isn't a post apocalyptic hellhole... Yet.
Hey everybody,

My name is Patrick and I'm the part of the ResearchHub team. Thank you for taking a look at our site and sharing your thoughts/feedback!

To give a little background - I'm a former PhD student who dropped out and went to medical school after seeing how difficult it was to achieve success as an early-career academic.

We built ResearchHub as a potential solution to what we perceive as the core problem within academia - the bibliometric-based incentive structure.

Job security and research funding flows to the scientists who are the most successful at maximizing their citations. Following Goodhart's law - citations no longer serve their original purpose as a measure for academic quality because they are now a target for behavior. Academia's reliance on bibliometrics unintentionally encourages behaviors that detract from the scientific ecosystem as a whole.

We included a cryptocurrency and corresponding DAO because we believe crypto is an elegant solution which allows a community to democratically manage a malleable incentive structure. To see how this could work in practice, check out Ethereum improvement proposals (https://eips.ethereum.org/). Ethereum is a dynamic incentive structure that aligns the interests of many parties to accomplish a goal. Via EIPs, the Ethereum community is able to improve the protocol overtime in a decentralized fashion.

Today's ResearchHub is a v1 designed to test a few hypotheses and bootstrap a community of early adopters who believe in our mission of open scientific communication.We are still in very early days and have not yet found product market fit - so we are actively seeking feedback from academics and citizen scientists alike to help us refine our feature set.

Once again, we very much appreciate your time and attention. Thank you for digging into our project and sharing your thoughts on what we hope to accomplish with ResearchHub!

If you have any questions about the project, please feel free to comment here or reach out via email to hello@researchHub.com
This right here. It's such an incredibly simple fix. Require open access by law and "the market will sort the rest out".

How much do publishers really need to do their job well? Just pass that law and you'll quickly find out by way of the fees charged to publish.
FYI this type of stuff was happening in SF well before Chesa Boudin. An SF local news crew was robbed (and shot) while reporting in Oakland (https://deadline.com/2019/02/san-francisco-news-crew-robbed-...). More recently an SF news crew was robbed while reporting on car breakins, granted this was during Boudin's tenure.

Maybe Chesa Boudin's policies aren't helping, but whatever we had before wasn't working either, and with the pandemic happening at the same time I think it's unfair to solely put the blame on him due to confounding variables.

I lived in SF for almost 10 years and it seemed like property crime crime was gradually ticking up well before Chesa Boudin. The easy culprit to blame is honestly just massive and growing income inequality. If you really want a solution to the problem, close off SF from the rest of the poor United States, or lower the income inequality.
Back in the early days of Chrome, I definitely feel that a lot of people switched and continued using it because it looked and felt better.
It needs to be a decentralized protest effort where the risk is shared. 100 individual actors stealing $899 of stuff from his garden over the course of a year and disappearing into the night until he gets the message. Would air to great effect on Fox news.

Unfortunately the political right is unbelievably bad at protest efforts.
I decided to stop going there back in 2015. It was embarrassing to bring a friend from Argentina to the city and have her regard it in the same light as the worst parts of Buenos Aires (that she had seen, anyway). It doesn't sound to me like things have improved...
I think it's hard to argue that the SF government is not comprised of people on the forefront of the progressive agenda. Am I wrong about this? Take a look at Chesa Boudin, for example [1]. All their policies are progressive (their voters would certainly hope so). Are you saying that San Francisco's progressive policies are not the right progressive policies? Which place has the right policies then? Chicago? Their crime rate does not seem much better. Or Chicago also implements wrong progressive ideas?

>What makes you think you have any say in the situation?

He doesn't have a say, but that doesn't mean he can't have valid opinions as an outsider with a more unbiased perspective.

To be clear I've lived in SF Bay Area for 10+ years and I've also traveled extensively/lived in other world class cities.

SF really is a more expensive shithole. It doesn't mean there aren't any charms but anyone who doesn't acknowledge SF's shortfalls vs. other top cities is in complete denial.
Even if they weren't, people would elect a Mayor on a progressive no-prosecuting-crime platform who'd then hire an awful DA…

The problem isn't with the position of DA, it's with "progressive" voters.
I think there’s a lot of Californians voting in bad policy to curtail gentrification.

I’ve seen the logic used by many in SF.
For sure, but are there caves below the oceans?
half US homeless are in California with migrants arriving daily

crime in SF has absolutely exploded

These don't seem to be reflected in easily googleable stats

Those spacers on both sides of the address bar made absolutely no sense, I agree.

But there's some logic to the growth of empty space everywhere. Even laptops have touchscreens these days. Click targets need to be bigger because fingers are fatter than mouse pointers. I just wish they'd keep around a compact option for non-touch devices, but unfortunately another recent trend is to get rid of user-configurable options.
I'd rather avoid terms that immediately identify the user as part of a particular political group, whether intentionally or otherwise. Naming things is a tricky enough topic without additionally chumming the waters for all-but-guaranteed ad hominem attacks.
Because we walk around our own cities for YEARS and see less of this then we do on a random walk on a single day.
I've always thought that an honestly useful product would be some kind of theft deterrent device that you either attach to your car, or attach to your camera equipment, and it detects the car window getting smashed or the tripod getting moved out of range of a beacon in the owner's pocket.

If triggered it should spray a combination of fart spray, glitter, pepper spray, honey, flour, feathers, ink, in all directions. [EDIT: let's take out the pepper spray, see comments]

As a bonus it would also be useful against towing people who try to tow without contacting the owner, but the primary use case would be thieves.

I've seen so many companies making dash cams and things of the like, but considering SF does nothing even given evidence, it's time to actually spray the perpetrator with something nasty and embarrassing.
This is what I always ask in these threads. Most homeowners and car insurance policies cover losses from theft in your home or car, minus maybe a deductible. Isn't this exactly the kind of thing insurance is for?
That’s true but the Digital Millennium Copyright Act is a US law and this is an Indian court. So it’s similar in that what has to be reported is the act of a user sharing the content, but the reaction the platform has to take is different.
Look no further than Baltimore. We have a free bus system called Circulator. It's not perfect, of course, but a good start.
Anecdata: I recently shared a private FB event link with a friend over WhatsApp (DM, not group chat) while we were in the same room. She saw and opened it. Some hours later it was gone from both of our chat histories on all devices, with no notice of deleted messages. Earlier and later messages were intact.

I don't see how this could happen if that claim was true.

I'm amazed by the number of people who live in San Francisco and think "I'm qualified to shit on this sidewalk".
> FYI this type of stuff was happening in SF well before Chesa Boudin. An SF local news crew was robbed (and shot) while reporting in Oakland

That’s...not an example on anything happening in SF. It’s an example of things happening outside of SF to people working out of SF.

> Since then crime in SF has absolutely exploded.

This is sort of misleading. Burglaries, motor vehicle thefts, and homicides went up, but all other crimes went down. Specifically in the case of homicides, there were 7 more compared to 2019.

> I have never seen it this bad.

Crime is still at an all time low in SF. The rate of crimes has roughly remained static for the better part of two decades. The increased number of homeless just makes it more visible.
>That implicitly assumes that poor people are worse off than they used to be.

No it doesn't.

Poor people can be better off (debatable but could be true), while still not getting nearly their fair share of the profits from much increased productivity.
George Gascon,the DA at the time, was also a so-called "progressive DA".
Can someone who lives in SF chime in and tell us why you voted for Mr. Boudin?

Knowing what I know about bay area politics, I bet half the people who voted for him will say that crime in San Francisco is not the district attorney's fault and blame Regan for closing down the mental hospitals in the 70s.

I live just outside San Francisco city limits and everything is peaceful, because the criminals know that the laws are enforced here. It's that simple. Encountering homeless people shitting in front of me, or screaming bloody murder at the top of their lungs at 2 a.m or whatever was a regular occurrence in S.F. I thought about homeless people every day in S.F. I don't think about homeless people at all where I live now.

The homeless budget in S.F is $300 million dollars a year. That employs a lot of people! Where I live now it's not a whole lot and yet there is no homeless problem.
It's the Q character. That usually happens to me when I mistype a semicolon rather than colon when trying to quit.
What's the max punishment if he does pursue it?
It's funny how SF has turned into a daylight sociological experiment.

Remove enforcement of several crimes and see it have areas reminiscent of 3rd world countries in a matter of years.

(But don't expect this to be in any sociological studies, scholars will still blame "lack of education", "lack of opportunities", etc, while those have a role to play, the major factor that changed here is pretty obvious)
The alternative would be that they believe it is good policy and they're willing to accept some increase in crime. Not saying I necessarily agree or accept that the policies are necessarily causing an increase in crime, but I do think it's worth pointing out that this is a possibility. (that imo is not unlikely)

For some people it's indeed a better choice to "rot the rest of their life in prison" rather than defect to an enemy country, help them with their propaganda and intelligence gathering, and be at their mercy for the rest of their - probably not that long - life...

And no, for me it is no legitimate choice to selectively ignore laws if they don't suit someone. In a democracy there are well defined systems, which are of course imperfect, to adjudicate and modify those laws. Manning went through that system, and despite all the outrage at her treatment, she got out quite well. Much better than what Snowden might face if he irks Putin...
Debit cards given to homeless people with auto deposits every month courtesy of the city, I guess would be one. I think it sounds like a kind, humane policy btw, even though I answered the question. But one that as you can imagine comes with some built in problems.

Edit: I do get that homeless does not equal criminal. But, see broken windows effect.
Good luck actually getting enough time for all this healthy living though. There is a reason a particular look is considered "hot" right now: it's a signal that the person is actually wealthy. The rest of us may be cash rich but are incredibly time poor.
Ya the violence and sex on some of the Amazon original content like Mirzapur is shocking!
Yes, private school. Because public schools around here aren't so great. That's the cheapest private school in the area, everything else is way more expensive.

The irony is that if I could afford a 3Ksqft home (forget 6Ksqft, I can't imagine anyone other than a few CEOs could afford that) I could live in an upscale area where the public schools are great.
All the result of capitalism. You don't get to write that shit off and say, "Well technically that's not MY capitalism."
> Burglaries, motor vehicle thefts, and homicides went up, but all other crimes went down.

...but other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?
Nobody comes to live in SF because of those things you experienced. They come for the sweet VC money, jobs at Facebook and Google. And likewise, criminals come because that money exists there too.
Traps to defend property are very illegal.
I would imagine they are from all over the US.
"The homeless are way more aggressive than they are in Chicago or Texan cities. The feces. The crime."

So where do homeless people go to the bathroom in Chicago and Texas?

In SF most businesses won't let homeless people (ie. obviously poor people and/or people with severe mental issues) use their bathrooms, and even if they did, most of the city closes down at night, so there's nowhere to go.

SF has some public bathrooms, but they're very few and far between, and if you're homeless, possibly suffering from mental issues and/or on drugs or drunk you're not going to be going on long treks through the city just to use a bathroom.. not to mention that sometimes you just have to go immediately (and the need can be exacerbated by being sick or drunk or on drugs).

So, again, where are these people supposed to go?

My personal Blog
I'm also a non resident, but with connections in SF. Thus I've been there maybe a month of my life. It's the strangest place I've ever been to:

- I would reliably meet someone who was talking to themselves, out loud, every day. Not an exaggeration. I think my combined count of seeing this in my other 40 years is something like 5.

- A guy pooped in front of me. Just pulled his pants down, revealing more pants, pulled those down, then pooped. Didn't seem to care.

- I bought too much to eat at a Mexican place. As I was paying at the till, a barefoot lady walked in shouting something incoherent, went to my leftovers, and poured them into a plastic bag she was carrying. Then she left.

- Parks that are full of homeless people. Tent cities right in the middle of town.

- All this is mixed in with stunning views, beautiful homes, and normal looking parks.

It's not normal, something needs to be done about the awfulness.
This was bizarre. Neither the announcement or the video really said what has changed.

I’d rather they focus on performance. It’s third in the list behind Chrome and Safari on my MacBook. I use it only for Jira and Gitlab at work with about 10 tabs and it regularly consumes more CPU than Chrome with about 50 tabs open.

I really don't understand how it helps research, can you please elaborate.

Do you mean researchers get paid in a coin, which they can sell, which will fund further research? If the coins became super valuable wouldn't this simply do the opposite: incentivize cheap/easy papers about popular/meme subjects in order to get upvotes?

Ask HN: Need help deciding between job offers
I am trying to decide between two job offers as a new grad with little to no experience. First, I have an offer from [redacted] (Commercial side in the US) to be a security consulting analyst where I believe I could choose what I specialize in and I am pretty sure I would go with Cloud Security. Though I hear mixed things about the company, I see that quite a few employees on the security team exit to FAANG or credit card companies after a year or two which I wouldn't mind.

The second offer is to be a site reliability engineer at [redacted] where I would be working with cloud technologies such as Kubernetes/AWS, defining SLAs, SLOs, and scripting with languages like Python/GO/shell scripting. What appeals to me about this position is that it is an actual job where I don't have to worry about dealing with any random client and seems like a pretty stable gig too. Not many complaints found online for the SRE team there (I checked glassdoor and all already).

Either way, I know I want to try to move to a big tech company (Mozilla, Salesforce, Crowdstrike etc) after a couple of years working.

The compensation for both is about the same but [redacted] gives stock options.

Would appreciate any advice as this is a hard decision for me. Which one do you think gives me a better edge for my long term career?

The biannual survey point in time counts of homeless across California are so wildly inaccurate and skewed there have been grand jury investigations and findings in counties such as California. There is a giant 'homeless industrial complex' that essentially operates on a model of the ore homeless to 'serve' the more money they ingest, buying motels at way over market rate as 'homes' for the seriously mentally ill and substance abuse casualties as if this will magically solve their issues. Bus therapy and general migration to where the grass is greenest is fueling this, along with very lenient drug law.
What if you don't have a family? In Brave New World there are no families. Technology plus social indoctrination have eliminated the need and desire for them.
