While it's true that you're not guaranteed a shelter bed in most cities, in practice shelters run far below capacity. You can get detailed data on population and shelter capacity here: https://endhomelessness.org/homelessness-in-america/homeless...

For example, it appears California is maintaining around 20% capacity utilization in shelters statewide on average.

Talk to the workers, and they'll tell you the main struggle is not running out of space, but getting homeless people in the door, because as you point out, shelter life sucks. You're absolutely right, one doesn't "live" in a shelter in any meaningful sense. They're not a permanent solution, and hardly even a temporary one.
I mean, you might have, it was just out of date.

A full commitment eh? That’s a pretty big thing - are there any circumstance where you’d be willing to break that commitment and give up?
100% agree, people can be very, very stupid.

But people can also be very smart. I'm sure the people blatantly ignoring signs are the minority. There's so many people in the world that even a minority can cause issues (e.g. defecating in the woods), but it's still a minority.

It's different people, and moreover, different situations involving the same person. There are so many things considered "common sense" that basically everyone will miss at least one thing considered common sense.

So yes, you have to accommodate and prepare for the stupid people. You have to patrol the national parks to yell at people for doing things the signs right in front of them say not to. But you also have to accommodate and prepare for the smart people, and realize that you'll sometimes be stupid.

In Facebook's case, they think they're smarter than everyone else by choosing what content everyone can see. Flagging "vaccines are 5G microchips" was fine. But flagging official CDC guidelines implies Facebook is smarter than the CDC, which is probably not true.
I think we should not underestimate this part:

Disconnect by Privacy Pro
EFF, others? Are you aware Disconnect has changed their configuration to be a Actual VPN on iOS and no longer as Virtual VPN making AVG VPN and other actual VPNs fail to work alongside? Disconnect is now in need of competition bc their star rating down to 3.1. Here’s the thing: as long as you have your iPhone backed up, and can configure your new iPhone from that backup -> you are grandfathered in. If not This is the second time this has happened. The first I thot a fluke bc pet improvement per iOS Senior Dev. This I did not anticipate and I did have back ups but if cc prob and a late pay Apple delete delete delete all over 50gb
If their is an equal to Disconnect let me know

>>"Duolingo's valuation is more a reflection of people's desire to learn a language rather than people actually learning a language"

Duolingo is a game 1st and then a learning app. It's very engaging at first but it failed for me since I started to play it without learning much even though I was advancing (which I equated as learning, wrong..). I think it's certainly better than nothing but ultimately it's just a game.

I think it could be a great part of a structured language program. I hope that they use some of the IPO money to create such a program where you need to learn the language to advance in it.

I believe that games can be used to learn. In nature, playing is a way to learn so we should be able to use games for learning.

I never played it, but a friend used to play EverQuest and he told me how he had friends that had become Leather Craftsmen as a result of playing it. I wonder if Duolingo could be that inspiring to language learners in the future?
I'm not the same person you were talking to but no where does it say he recommends others take it. He is just saying he takes it. You're completely changing his words to suit your narrative that he said something when he never did. This is exactly why people are up in arms over Facebooks censorship. They let people skew other peoples words and present them as fact when they are libel at best.

I don't disagree with you. In fact, I don't know what the correct policy should be. But we have focused heavily on preventing infection, and the vaccines have been amazing at this so far. Because now of variants and decreasing immunity, we know boosters will be needed, and for how long? Also some people are having bad side effects, like blood clots, heart problems, exhaustion, and even death, making others skeptical. No doubt it is safer than covid though. But this makes me wonder if we should have more comprehensive policy. Ivermectin seems great at treatment at various stages of covid once infected without those side effects, and also seems to hold up better against the variants. But it also looks less effective overall.

What sorts of honeypots are available these days? In 2018 I wandered into honeypots again and windows was the primary host OS for most of them. That's not necessarily and issue, but the rest seemed abandoned or unfinished.

On our subnet I was seeing a couple thousand cve exploits a month, and about the same in "unknown probes" that may or may not have been 0-days. I don't have (or want) access to the entire flows through the main gateway, but setting up a few honeypots with public IP is fine by me.

"Censoring" is a fairly hyperbolic way of describing marking a post as misinformation.

As far as the business analysis, I'm sure there are some number-crunchers at Facebook who looked at lockdown usage of the platform, the lockdown's effect on ad revenue, declining use due to deaths, how much marking misinformation changed a poster's beliefs, how much marking misinformation changes a poster's usage, and figured out whether marking misinformation made financial sense. I don't think they care at all about what you might think is freedom or what someone else might think is moral, and the idea that some other commenters have put forth that marking misinformation would affect antitrust litigation seems just as wacky as some of the Facebook posts I've seen about vaccines and 5g.

> hasn't had a significant original release in 10+ years.

Let's talk about Heroes of the Storm. Not as a counter to your argument, but as a perfect illustration of your points.

First thing to know is that HotS started out as a Starcraft II arcade game. It uses the Starcraft II engine. Nothing new there.

Next, for those who don't know, HotS is a MOBA. Just like DotA (and DOTA 2), and League of Legends. DotA was a mod of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, created by the community. League of Legends is a standalone game inspired by DotA.

In HotS, all the player heroes are Warcraft, StarCraft and Diablo heroes. It's free-to-play. After a brief legal spat with Valve over rights to the name DotA and Blizzard trademarks, the two companies settled.

It's a decent game, but it's just repackaging Blizzard assets for a type of game that emerged out of Blizzard in the first place. To me, HotS is exactly the sort of thing a company coasting on its franchise would release.

Epitaph: AB completely abandoned the game three years after release, to the complete surprise of the small esports community that had grown up.

> Why do I need to be interested when you’re advocating that people don’t take the Covid-19 vaccine?

What are you talking about? I am super happy for people to take their vaccines, the more the merrier. If there's anything I am advocating for it is for them to do so willingly with the full understanding of risks and benefits rather than be forced to do so under duress from the state.

> What is the risk? What are the numbers? Explain exactly what the risk is and explain exactly what the risk numbers are.

I am not sure I understand what you are asking for here. Nor am I sure that you quite understand it either. If you are asking for the official position on the risks, you can easily look it up yourself on the CDC web site [0]. If, on the other hand, you are asking me to review all available data on adverse events associated with the vaccines, then I am sure you realize that this is a monumental task for a full-time job, and not for a conversation in an online forum.

> And that was at an over abundance of caution. But you can just… take the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine?

There is a paper, submitted in April 2021, which estimates that the risk of thrombotic events for Pfizer recipients is even greater than for those who received AstraZeneca [1]. So if those over-cautious agencies suspended AstraZeneca over concerns about thrombosis, what would they have done to Pfizer, and what are we, the public, to think of it all?

> Yet you draw the line at vaccines? That’s irrational. You know the danger.

It probably is, yes. As for knowing the danger though, I would submit that typically you don't. Or try not to. Knowing the danger would leave some (or many) of us paralyzed.

The only solution is to censor everything.
Considering that IE was sunset in Nov 2019 and officially becomes abandonware next June this shouldn't be a shock. Microsoft still considers IE to be an operating system component, which suggests that they may arbitrarily remove it from user devices in forth coming security patches following June 2022.

No… because that would imply I’m attempting to police what people wear. I am not. My complaint is with Naomi putting words into Google’s mouth and jumping to the extremes, which is completely disingenuous. It has to be, because she’s smart enough to know why content from someone who’s built their personal brand as @SexyCyborg could sometimes be a little too sexy. This isn’t a women in stem issue, it’s a “I wanna sell risqué content to Google and Google won’t buy it” issue.

Sorry, but you seem to have very little notion of Heinlein's works, except for a burning desire to be offended by them, despite your unfamiliarity.
Orders of magnitude more expensive. Similarly difficult to remove and manipulate. Nanocellulose aerogel could be a candidate, as most of the processing chemicals can be recovered and reused, and cellulose is abundant, but significant work is needed to give it the same strength and durability to replace styrofoam. In landscaping, it'll also need more treatment against fungus and other things that can eat cellulose.

Rammed earth and other more integrative materials should be more popular, imo. Having crap like this geofoam should be considered completely unacceptable, like using baby blood to mix cement.
IDK about a warning on private messages. But I do know there are political links and websites you can not send over PM/DM on the big players. So, IDK, is that worse?

My hope is that this case goes to SCOTUS and they will decide that in the event of a participation in a ritual all paid and unpaid services must be done willfully instead of an equal standard clause.

Baking a cake is fine. Baking a wedding cake means participating in the wedding. And therefore should not be compelled even when done commercially.

Rituals have a certain standard. Birth, marriage, and death are the most standard rituals. quincenera and sweet 16 and bar mitzvah are also standard rituals. Anyone doing anything in these kinds of events is taking part in the event.
They used to do that, but the "problem" they ran into is that the people the average person knows in real life don't produce enough Facebook updates to keep users glued to Facebook all day. Time spent on Facebook = money for Facebook (more ads can be shown) so it's more profitable for them to push "recommendations" for more "engagement."

> The truth is that no one is forcing you to work a union job.

That's pretty disingenuous. Try working for government at any level without also working for a union. I could turn your argument around and say, "if you want a union job just go find one!"

Regardless, that choice you speak of represents a profound injustice according to union leaders. The ultimate goal of mainstream political labor movements is universal unionization. They would very much like to make it so that everyone is forced to pay union dues, no matter where they work.

That's an interesting point - if indeed Facebook is providing a service, then using that logic they can't discriminate on providing that service for a protected class engaging in speech if they provide the same service to the public.

If we are going to be consistent on what a service is, and what speech is allowed on a service, this could get really interesting.
The internet will kill most every institution that predated it. Citizen journalism killed media. Netflix/YouTube killed Hollywood. Blockchains will replace 51% democracy with 100% democracy.

Dying inherited institutions are grasping to stay relevant with appeals to authoritarianism. Free speech is now a hinderance and a liability to their existence. As their relevance dwindles, tyranny becomes their only tool.
Agreed. So if you go off truthful websites like the CDC for example… oh wait, some of those links you won’t see because someone chose that for you.
Patches annoy end users. A lot.

Anecdote: latest set of windows patches did something to Bluetooth, such that when I switch my mouse between machines there's up to a 3 second lag before the cursor is responsive. Big deal, minor nuisance, right? Except if I'm in a Fullscreen application, it causes a blue screen because the os waiting for the mouse to handshake pauses the GPU for some reason, and the GPU-Windows framework panics and blue screens to prevent hardware damage. This has the side effect of corrupting the application that was running during the blue screen, sometimes forcing a reinstall.

I have no idea what patch it was that caused this, nor can I really expect anyone to fix it, how often are most(98%?) users connecting and disconnecting their mouse every day? I'm switching it dozens of times an hour.
It looks really good! Gravity, drag and temporal blend make nice visual effects.
I use a similar trick but with aliases.

I work at Hasura (disclaimer, not to self-promote) and of the user questions I've seen being fielded recently, this has been maybe one of the fastest-growing.

It's typically something like "My org $BIGCO has data in multiple places/databases, and teams have fragmented services they've set up for access with no consistent API or central hub for all of this."

And they are interested in a sort of data-aggregator/central-access point for the data stored in databases of varying dialects + merging their API's into a unified service. Sometimes they also want to (transparently) join/map data across sources too.

I think this space is likely going to become more prevalent just by the nature of both organizational growth and inevitable tech debt.

It's an interesting domain and problem, that's for sure.
What institutions and who's the establishment? Facebook is the censor but also the disruptor of those institutions, so it can't be them.

The world isn't necessarily controlled by some illuminati-like organization. That belief comes from a cognitive bias called "Agent-detection bias" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_detection

It may simply be that free information created a bit of a power vacuum (perhaps the same as with the printing press?) so there's a scramble for power by all the people engaged in the culture war, not just existing powerful people but anyone who sees an opportunity.

>> My explanation will not be popular here on HN How is this better than ’bring on the downvotes’?

I totally missed the non-wrapped question.

Because I don't give a crap about down-votes/up-votes. I just know from experience my views on copyright do not gel with the majority views on HN. I was just acknowledging that fact. Conversations can be had regardless of votes. My views on Napster/MP3 trading are in the same realm (and somewhat related with copyright issues). I was a co-owner of a small music site when Napster was in its heyday, and we saw direct repurcussions of people not buy music because they got it from mp3 trading. Group think here is all "things for free when I want it, how i want it", yet I still have conversations. I'm not afraid of a measly -4 points because my thoughts are contrary to group think.

At the same time, if something like this gets your goad, how is asking how something is better being better in and of itself?
My guess is that fact checking falls on low paid workers with high "performance metrics" they're expected to meet to keep their job-- not managers. At least, that seems to be the model used when the curtain has been pulled back on social media QA.
