i dont understand you at all - chesa boudin is in favor of letting all the "non violent" criminals you mention , to avoid jail time and prosecution.

He's more of the same SF lawyer we had for decades , but on steroids? What is expected to change exactly?
And how about religious freedoms, reproductive rights and the feelings about LGBTQ folks?

To add a little bit of context to the folks bellow:
I actually am from Eastern Europe and consider myself rather lucky to have escaped it to Canada and the US. If you’re a good an American straight white male, with a lot of dollars then yea of course you’re going to have a pretty good time. But let’s not trivialize the issues here. For some people the trade-off for freedoms might very well be worth, but it isn’t for me and for quite a bit of folks that I know personally. For all it’s warts, San Francisco still continues to attract people, and a part of it is it’s tolerance to all kinds of behaviors. In conclusion, I don’t like it when people only talk about the the few good things about a country / city / state and ignore all the other, less talked about things. Let’s not pretend Poland is some kind of paradise.
Sure, though it may depend on how you define "entire program".

https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/a-short-history-of-the-fai... has a few, including Sony Computer Entm’t, Inc. v. Connectix Corp., where the entirety of the BIOS for the PlayStation was copied. I think that counts as an entire, copyright-protected, unlicensed piece of software.

I suppose one could argue the BIOS were not necessarily "redistributed", depending on how you define that term, but I think it counts. There are some other examples in there as well.
I think the scenario you've described assumes that the branches have diverged -- that each branch has a commit not on the other. But if you always rebase your branch onto `develop` before merging, your branch definitively has no conflicts. If you then use `--no-ff` to merge, it will create a merge commit anyway.

This article shows what I mean: https://euroquis.nl/blabla/2019/08/09/git-alligator.html . (The only thing missing is the rebase before merge, since the example image shows a case where a merge could have hidden some changes.)
It's going to be interesting to see earnest social welfare advocates and earnest open borders advocates realize that their beliefs are totally incompatible. Of course, right now, most of the politicians successfully selling those policies don't really care about either at a deep level.
Plastic is a polymer, like cellulose. It's well known that microbes have evolved some enzymes to breakdown biopolymers - cellulase, which is present in rumen fluid. It is also known that pseudomonas has enzymes that are capable of breaking down hydrocarbon chains in oil - since that is the precursor for plastic polymers it should be no surprise that there are pseudomonas strains capable of breaking down plastic polymers. This paper claims that there is such a strain that is dominant in this rumen fluid that does so through a hydrolysis reaction (likely using an enzyme produced in that strain as a catalyst). Hydrolysis cleaves terephthalic acid in this process - a monomer that contains an aromatic ring. So essentially the final size of the polymers depends on the placement of that unit in that particular polymer. You need several enzymes working in sequence to degrade a complex polymer fully, but it is possible.

The same as with vancouver, San Francisco and Los Angeles are both some of the rare large cities in the USA where a homeless person can live a fully outdoor lifestyle year-round and not risk freezing to death.
These comics (and the ones suggesting "defunding police" will lead to school funding) are essentially a trick because 1. reducing police funding won't lead to money going to those other places 2. half those things are done under the police department 3. the other half are much more expensive than police funding.

Affordable housing is a notable case of the last one, it's very very expensive to build in SF and nobody actually wants it. The reason people dislike "luxury housing" is that it actually exists, so they want "affordable housing" because they know it won't happen. When it actually shows up, they oppose it too.

It does demonstrate that anything presented in cartoon form is probably false, because the people drawing cartoons are not specialists in whatever the topic is. Basically Gell-Mann Amnesia.
Anything else happen that year?
It isn't worth it.

I wouldn't intervene if my stuff isn't like 1M USD or something.

Spending time going to court justifying whether you use the exact appropriate amount of force to stop the incident (who would have time to think that through??) is just really wasteful and psychologically damaging.
It's not an issue in Warsaw and most other major cities.
> I wonder what percentage of residents support the tax increases necessary to provide such services.

Straw man fallacy. Why do you jump to the conclusion that the problem is financial. SF is among the top 5 richest cities in US.

You really have to prove that the problem is financing, before you make the argument you made.
My thoughts on grey posts: these are messages that need further examination.

If the author is making their point in a civil way, then we should be up-voting it. Whether we agree or disagree with their point should not matter since the aim is to maintain civil discourse rather than to create an echo chamber.

If the author is taking away from civil discourse we should be down-voting grey posts. Whether we agree or disagree with their perspective should not play a role since it is far more important to create an environment where everyone is comfortable with expressing themselves.

We will only be able to maintain the freedom of speech if civility is at the core of our discourse. Once civility is dropped, we run the risk of speech being used as a tool to suppress speech.
By that logic, re: outlawing speeding: "imagine making driving a crime."
Is it only one feature that is missing in safari ? “ atto can't run in this browser :(

Unfortunately, your browser doesn't support the features that are required to run atto. If you're on mobile, try using atto on a desktop computer. Otherwise, please use the latest version of Chrome or Firefox, which are known to work with atto.

If you're using Safari, then it's doubtful that Apple will ever implement the required features due to their constant reluctance to modernise their browser. If you work for Apple/are on the WebKit dev team, please implement lookbehind in regex so we can make atto work for everyone!”
I've never seen anyone call Chesa Boudin "neoliberal" before. Actually I haven't even seen anyone call "neoliberal" policies not right-wing enough. Very innovative post.
Yea, which is why trains costs are so sensitive to distance- it's massive up front cost is a function of that distance. It's not the stations, it's the rails and right-of-way.

The problem most people ignore is that train marginal-increases max-out at some number of trains per day, before you need an additional set of tracks.

And that happens at a much lower number than most people assume, especially if you're planning on sharing that track with other routes. And even worse if you have to use or cross a freight track.

So not only does efficiency have a min bounds, but also a local-max bounds, where you need a large enough marginal increase to justify the additional rails.

Whereas the airline equivalent is whether to schedule an additional flight. Which is easier to commit to than whether a new track is justified.
Hmm. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-22/polish-to...
Exactly this. The city's budget was $6.4B in 2010, and $12.6B for 2021-2022, which is down from $13.7B for 2020-2021 (only because of Corona). That's a _doubling_ in a decade, and speaking somewhat subjectively as someone who's been here the entire time, all public services and the state of the streets have continued getting worse. Even if you don't buy that, it's absolutely certain that nothing has gotten better.

It's not clear how SF can escape the situation, but there are a few things that are absolutely certain, and one of them is that more money is not going to fix the problem. We need a different approach.
True, but a person barging into a business with their bike, emptying several shelves into a garbage bag, then barging out, forcefully shoving everyone out of their way - that crosses into a borderline violent crime.

I would feel very unsafe if I was at the Wallgreens when that happened. The people in the video certainly felt unsafe as well.
Fascinating. I wonder if it'll someday be possible to clone an animal from just their genome, without needing to store physical samples.
Those are no doubt important, but isn’t that potentially the issue? Have those concerns distracted from basic livability efforts?

But everything is a cost center , even product development and sales. A salesperson is a cost center except for the singular moments when they sign a deal.
very loud sounds can panic/shock animals and if it's too much for them, they die.
Yeah. Like all white collar crimes. Madoff had many victims, but the fraud was nevertheless a non-violent crime.
Then they should say "reform the police" not "defund the police". If you "defund the police", they will cease to exist, since nobody will be paying them. It might or might not be what the "defund" people are actually want, but it is what they are saying, so it isn't really a strawman argument.

Personally, I assume people actually mean what they say, so I think it's more likely they just want to be "radical" and haven't thought things through at all (as OP pointed out).
Everyone knows that software engineer is not an "engineer in the traditional sense". There is no substantial chance of confusing HR or manager hiring for software development when you say to them "I'm software engineer".
Coop gives an update on their homepage. It does not sound especially optimistic. They write that shopping online is open, and that stores in a few specific regions are open, and that they "hope to open more stores as soon as possible".

(Swedish:https://www.coop.se/Globala-sidor/stangda-butiker/)

It is hard to imagine what this means for their supply chain and groceries currently in warehouses and on order. If they cannot open at least on Monday, what will happen? Will their compatitors be able to swallow the demand?
The need of groceries will stay they same. The size of this problem is not to underestimate. Coop has approximately 20% market share in Sweden.
Are you implying his parents are innocent from the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981_Brink%27s_robbery ?
Yeah but different stages require different attitudes.

10y ago, this wasn't an issue, so it was okay.

Now it is an issue.. but we double down on this same approach, which makes it even worse.

Sociological problem like this is tricky to solve. SF residents believe that restorative justice will eventually win in the end, so we should cheer for them to follow through with this experiment.

Whether it will work or not, we will all get to learn. For an outsider, we will get to learn without investing much.

I don't think it will work, but I'm not an expert here, and I would love to know the result of the experiment.
> Equating police reform with being anti-police plays right into propaganda.

The people who started "defund the police" literally do not want there to be police. Sometimes they want to become the police, except they want to be called community violence activists, or therapists, or something.

That was fine as a fringe position, but then a lot of other people took up the slogan and just declared that no, actually, it means totally different thing X but we're going to keep saying it.

…Anyway, nobody is actually trying to do this, except Republicans in congress when they tried to block state funding in the CARES Act, so it doesn't matter.
You didn’t supply any for me to look at. Is this a child’s imagination game?

Guessing at some 9th grade economics theory aside, what does the actual data say?

Ignoring data like this is the only reason I can think of why people are willing to pay 10x more for a house of half the size that I paid.
It should be mentioned that Warsaw is not at all representative for the country or even the local region. It's a status which the city had for many decades.

How much of a decrease on average?
Excellent museum indeed. The kids love it too. And there's so much to see you can go several times to cover everything.
I'm really confused as to what point you're trying to make with this comment.

In order to secure religious freedoms, religious rights, and LGBTQ inclusion, we need to have a filthy city, filled with homelessness, drug addiction, and absurd policies?
That's not my logic.

My logic is 'crossing the road is completely reasonable, doesn't harm anyone, people should be allowed to get to the other side of the road'. That logic doesn't follow to speeding, which is dangerous and selfish.

Do you realise it's not a crime in other countries? It's not in the UK and yet we have a lower road-death rate than the US. What are jaywalking laws for anyway?
App looks great! great work guys!
Few questions:

- Are you guys deploying a separate project in vercel for every user or using shared project among all?

- What's the security mechanism for storing environment variables? is it in vercel itself?

- Any plans for typescript support?

- Intellisense was not working for an installed package. It'll be great if it can!
Thats not true… in Lean you can restrict yourself to constructive math if you want to for some reason. Just that most actual mathematicians don’t.
Generally unit testing is faster than formal verification, so you're out less work if requirements change.
You're right, he's a communist from a terrorist family, but I didn't want to get too analytical on the politics. I'm comparing the SF policies of over 20 years ago to now. A lot has changed.

Isn’t this changing the subject? Or are you implying a connection? There are many major cities in the US that are socially fairly liberal and nowhere near as dysfunctional as SF.

Actually most urban areas in the US are pretty accepting even in areas like the Midwest and the South. If you are in a city you are generally fine.

Poland could become much more tolerant and accepting of differences without becoming an open air psychiatric ward with absurdly unaffordable housing and feces on the steeet.
I really like this quote, from 39:50 in the talk:

> This is not separate groups of two or three mathematicians each belaboring on a paper on their own. It's not like that. This is not anymore the medieval mathematician's guild--which is how mathematics is still organized today. This is a post-industrial division of labor. It is completely new. It's a math hive. It's exciting, and we haven't seen this sort of thing before, and I think it's going to change mathematics.
All are achievable with out caving to the lowest common denominator of tweakers and those that refuse to help themselves take precedence over everything else.

That is the west coast of the US. Regardless of crime, mental situation, etc, every major city is catering to patch work policies instead of addressing crime and mental / drug related illnesses.

Commit a crime with a drug addiction, there should be camps with rehab options where you serve your time on the books or engage with rehab options.

Most every sheriffs office in coastal CA instead does not incarcerate drug/mental health related issues and instead just releases them again.

Interesting, so your argument is not about parroting but specifically about the novel code Copilot generates. My sense is that it would be fine for all licenses except for AGPL as this is an online service and is not "distributed" per say. That is if you don't buy the argument that machine learning is a transformative work so it doesn't matter what the license is, which is the position of current US caselaw.
Not at all, merely that every locale has its skeletons.
I don't think there are actually any studies cited for any of those. In fact, it's well known that local gun laws are nearly useless. NYC makes it nearly impossible to buy a gun but they are easily bought in bulk an hour or two drive in any direction.

Immigrant policy is mostly based on humanitarian grounds. But I'd still be surprised if it's actually a major driver of crime. Violent crime in higher nationwide than every developed nation by a huge margin. Our lack of healthcare, for-profit opioid sales and the endless flow of firearms are the things I'd point to.
The problem here is that when, P&L in IT/Security is L, the answer is always "reduce costs", not "get more credit for enabling and protecting the revenue of other cost centers". IT undercharges for the value they are expected to provide. Often times (hello GDPR and ad tech /spyware) skimping on IT is way to cover up the fact that the business is fundamentally not sustainable or sustained only by breaking the law or negative externalies.
It is a modern basic with a ‘80 feel to it.

I think autonomous vehicles will help here eventually too. A lot of road maintenance is due to large semi-trucks. If those vehicles are operated autonomously, they can be programmed to drive more efficiently in regards to wear on the roads. Slower braking, slower speeds (since you don’t need stops for drivers to sleep to reach your destination in the same amount of time).

We’d also see a closure of many roadside stops since there are no longer people around to use those facilities.
I don't see any note on the article confirming the leak being stopped or not. Is this crazy footage diverting attention away from the fact of the leak or causing more attention to be attracted to it?
For anyone who thinks this is even remotely okay, answer me this. Imagine that Copilot is actually just a gigantic PR campaign, and when you send a completion request, they do this:

They send the request off to a sweatshop in Bangladesh where a bunch of mechanical turk workers scroll through licensed codebases, find an appropriate snippet of code, agree on the best one, strip all of the licenses and attributions out, and send it back to you. (turns out they're very quick at their job)

How is this any different than what Copilot does with the purely technical difference that you're pushing code through an artifical neural net instead of a bunch of human ones. Why is that supposed to matter
Yes. I don’t think people realize police are expensive. You shouldn’t use them to “solve” problems unless you have no other means available. Police also aren’t terribly interested in the demoralizing work that gets put on their shoulders by a lack of investment in social infrastructure. Nobody becomes a cop to rip down a tent city.

There’s a sick irony that the very same people who are fighting “for” the police against the defund crowd also demand police officers perform tons of unnecessary grueling work the police themselves willingly admit they aren’t trained to handle.

I think for many people “Support the Police” really means only support their budget; not support them as human beings or public servants.

His/her comment was clearly in regards to Poland taking a pretty stark curve to the right. Which also has absolutely nothing to do with the benefits the person above mentioned, just as it isn't a "distraction" in San Francisco (what a ridiculous canard that should be pounded down into transparency).

Loads of places have all of those freedoms and inclusions, but also have little to no homelessness, crime, or police brutality. It is a complete non-sequitur.

San Francisco has loads of problems. A serious housing problem. A wealth disparity problem. An "activist" police force that is basically fundamentally incompetent and incapable of doing even a modicum of their job, intentionally trying to burn the city to the ground to make some right wing point. Mental health issues.

It isn't because they are inclusive or considerate.
Only because the ruled class allows to ruling class to think that life is cheap.
