As I understand it, there are multiple factors:

1. Places like San Francisco have temperate climates, and cops not under orders to actively chase homeless people out. A good place to move if you're homeless, right? But San Francisco also has ruinously expensive housing, so the money one can make in an entry-level job won't go very far.

(American cities have a long tradition of "solving" homelessness by putting homeless people on buses to other cities. Officially, this is to "help them reunite with their families" but we all know what's really going on)

2. A bunch of things when you're poor are self-compounding. Lost your access to a stove and a fridge? You're going to be spending more on food. When you lost your home, probably you fucked up your credit rating too. Now the landlord wants a bigger deposit, and the electricity company wants you on their prepaid tariff which happens to be the most expensive one - and so on.

3. I've heard it said you don't become a rough sleeper when you spend your last dollar; you become a rough sleeper when you exhaust your last social connection. If you've lost your home but you still have sympathetic friends and family members you can become part of the 'hidden homeless' sleeping on a couch.

If factors like drug addiction or untreated mental illness, have exhausted the hospitality of friends and family, those same factors will also make employers reluctant to hire you.
Snapcraft Packages Come with Extra Baggage
It boils down to the number of dependencies you have and the uptime of those dependencies. For instance, you'll need to write to some form of temporary or permanent storage like SQS, S3 or PG. What happens when this is down, or you've busted your connection limit? With webhooks, you have no control over the throughput, and enormous bursts of traffic are frequent.

You can build reliable ingestion, and we aren't reinventing the wheel on that front. The difference is that we've taken the time, and many teams prefer to invest that time elsewhere.

We can also take some extra steps (and will), such as having multiple $Provider as fail-over.

[EDIT]

To add to this, Hookdeck ingestion reliability is only part of the value proposition. What customers really appreciate is the visibility and error recovery. They don't have to build a robust asynchronous processing system. They can just deploy an HTTP endpoint and call it a day.
They shouldn't be that tired working only 30 hours per week. Lots of people work 50-60 hours a week. I would even say, if you could only get 30 hours that frees you up for a second job, assuming the commute is reasonable (which I'm aware it might not be, except it seems these jobs are everywhere.)

You do need to be a person who views working productively to better themselves, as net positive quality of life.

And to be fair, they need a place to shower and wash clothes. Those services should be provided, and certainly in LA and SF plenty of money has been set aside to provide that.

If I'm interpreting this page (https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/COV...) correctly, children less than 5 provide 2.4% of cases of COVID in California; they are 5.8% of the population so they seem to have a lower infection rate (although those 75-79 provide 1.6% of cases from 2.7% of the population). Children between 5 and 17 provide 10.7% of cases from 16.7% of the population.

Children have a very non-zero infection rate while they do have effectively a zero death rate (no actual information on "complications").

Nobody wants to admit this, but probably more so here on HN and specially those who will downvote this reply to oblivion and have 10k+ karma points. They will find any excuse to sidestep this as a legitimate issue, here are some to watch out for: a. other countries have a worse homeless problem b. it's because we closed mental health institutions in the 80s c. I was homeless you don't know what you're talking about d. war on drugs is the cause e. you shouldn't judge others maybe they chose this... the list goes on and on and I'm not going to respond to any of them here, just something to be on the look out for when this topic comes up.
In the US people don't find the same solidarity with their fellow citizens unless you belong to the same club or same sociopolitical spectrum you basically think you're better than everyone else and there is a deep rooted superiority complex among people here. This is in stark contrast to countries even in Europe including Italy and others where there is a strong sense of community and for example Italianess that supersedes petty political and idealogical beliefs that many in the US cling to almost religiously.

I don't think Americans want to admit this specially the closer to the coastal cities you get the less sense of solidarity with fellow citizens and belongingness prevails rather than more community driven even religious South.

The more people it infects (even if it is young healthy people), the greater chance of more deadly strain. COVID-19 isn't that deadly, but is highly infectious. What happens if it mutates into something like this (another form of the coronavirus):

(34% chance of death).
But "seldom" isn't really true either. The subway being cleaner probably has more to do with much higher levels of investment in keeping it clean than with the superior character of their homeless people.
How long would you expect someone in a high volatility profession to be out of work for? The logic would really only be flawed if someone became long term unemployed or didn't have enough cash reserve to cover a few months of temporary unemployment and hence was risking selling equities from savings at a time of unemployment (which could well correlate with low equity valuations)

>Failure to have the switch disconnected could lead to a vehicle fire at any time, whether or not the key is in the ignition, and whether or not owners use the cruise control system. The safety agency said the fire danger is present regardless of the age of the vehicle, and could even occur while the vehicle is parked and unattended. Several dwelling fires have been attributed to the problem.

It can happen. That one was particularly bone headed design, but yeah. (I am in no way arguing that an old recall could have been responsible for the GP's claim of 250/day, just that spontaneous ICE vehicle fires have and do happen)
That still leaves the same question, though. In the US, many municipalities designate certain areas as government-sanctioned camping grounds where "economic refugees" can stay while they don't have a permanent place to live. Does that count as "temporary housing" and can we exclude them from the homeless numbers as well?

Massaging the numbers seems silly to me. At it's core, we're talking about how to solve the issue of unhoused people that require government assistance. Syrian refugees were/are an unhoused population that required government assistance. US tent-livers are unhoused populations that require government assistance. It's perfectly acceptable to include them in the same conversation. If the strategies that were applied to helping Syrian refugees find housing can somehow be helpful when helping LA tent-livers find housing, then it should be part of the same conversation.

Indeed, I fully understand why a startup goes for the cloud: Either it scales fast enough that the dynamic scaling of cloud is key, or it fails and assets become pointless anyways. But even then, once a startup hits a certain level of stability, it makes sense to invest in your own infrastructure to minimize expense.

They do, and this is sometimes why homeless people avoid the shelters. You cannot hold someone in a shelter against their will.
Can you not read? I am comparing wearing a mask to NOT driving drunk.

I am saying that wearing a mask is being considerate of others just like not driving drunk. It is also like wearing a seatbelt in that it can protect you!

Masks help in protecting you from COVID-19 and from you spreading it. If unvaccinated people wear masks what is your problem?!

There's actually a really robust-looking study just out in the UK sampling the population to find how much less likely vaccinated people are to be positive for Covid than non-vaccinated people: https://www.ipsos.com/ipsos-mori/en-uk/latest-react-1-study-...

Apparently the answer is that they're a third as likely to have it as the unvaccinated. Which certainly isn't nothing, and it's definitely better than the flu vaccine managed, but it does suggest that there's probably no way we're going to stop the spread of the Delta variant through any level of vaccination no matter what the US media claims. It also means that any hope of avoiding selective pressure for vaccine escape by just vaccinating people quickly enough is likely to prove futile. We also don't really have any special exemptions or privileges for vaccinated people yet outside of laxer requirements for international travel, so that wouldn't explain why the gap is so small.

(Incidentally, the "quick peak and decline in countries with high levels of vaccination" like the UK almost certainly isn't simply a result of vaccines working, despite the CJR article's attempt to spin it that way. All our experts over here seem to be in agreement that not only are the vaccines not effective enough to explain that, it just doesn't make sense to have such a sudden peak and decline as a result of our vaccination program - which has actually been slowing down as it runs out of willing recipients - or from natural immunity in combination with it. They reckon it must be caused in part by people's behaviour, and if we return to normal or autumn hits cases will go up again.)
You are using vague ill defined words that just end up confounding topics in a meaningless way. For one, Schrodinger's cat premise has absolutely nothing to do with superpositions of multiple cats. There is no such thing as superpositions of multiple objects, especially if they are distinguishable like cats. Superposition are over different possible states of a single system not over multiple copies of a system. You can not interfere two cats together. The most charitable interpretation of what you are saying is some abuse of the language used to describe indistinguishable particles or some statement in second quantization, but that also has nothing to do with Schrödinger's cat.

It used to be a much cleaner division. You got your Rolex and you moved to Florida. (OK I exaggerate.)

But for many professional people in tech, it can mean doing some consulting/teaching/writing/whatever on the side. In fact, for me, one of my questions is what are some of the specific things it makes sense for me to do when I retire that are materially different/better than what I do today?
I think this is probably correct. The last time I've even seen an obviously homeless person was in SF, and I haven't been there in 2 years.
> We've now administered billions of doses of Covid-19 vaccines. The idea that we're somehow missing side effects is quite frankly ridiculous at this point.

I truly hope that we're right on this one.
Depends though. For example if you are say 30. Own a house with decent mortgage cheaper than rent. If you have let's say more invested than your total debt including mortgage not counting hopefully equity in the house. Plus 2-4 years invested in taxable account. Why not go 100 stock in retirement accounts.

Working in tech you can bank alot of money quickly. If you keep your lifestyle low. Then if something happens and everything blows up. If you have enough saved you can get by. Plus alot benefits in the united states are based on income not assets.

I have thought a lot about this. I have been extremely lucky to fall into a decent tech job that is way better than working for my local university a few years ago.

Our current spending for a year with so and I is around 60k a year.

The 4 percent rule says that is about 1.5 million or so. Not there yet plus I like working so far.

But if I have say 500k saved and something happens. I can withdraw around 20k a year. But if let's both of us got minimum wage jobs. So 30 an hour total we can cover that gap.
Delta-plus, Lambda, and other super infectious Covid variants, explained
I was on the west side. Yea, there were a few tents on 3rd street in Venice, but I used to play golf at Penmar for like the least 8 years, and there were never tents there, and in the past couple years it became about 1.5 miles of tents along holes 1 and 3. It has just grown leaps and bounds.
If you (and the cited wikipedia article a few comments up) mean i d/dt | psi > = H | psi > then sure, that might refer to a relativistic theory and in that sense my comment was imprecise. But showing that a given Hamiltonian is relativistic generally requires work, and I still think there is merit to my point that these theories seem to start 'at the wrong end'.
> you might be opposed to this policy if: { 1...2...3 }

You listed three reasons that people might be opposed to the vaccine itself, not merely the policy. None of these are applicable to my particular group, of which there are many:

4. You are pro-vaccine and anti-covid, but strictly opposed to insane and tyrannical government overreach by the very same people who literally murdered tens of thousands of elderly nursing home patients in 2020 by intentionally exposing them to COVID patients.

It's strange you didn't even consider this option, as if meek, bootlicking obedience to authority - specifically, authority that has already demonstrated that they don't care at all about preventing COVID deaths - is to you as water is to a fish.

> take your chances with coronavirus, which you will get sooner or later, and spread it.

This is patently ridiculous. I am fully vaccinated, but the research is clear - I can carry an infection just as effectively in my nasal cavity as my antivax cousin. Showing my card at the door does PRECISELY NOTHING to prevent spread. The Times, no friend to the antivax crew, grudgingly admitted this a few days ago:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/29/health/cdc-masks-vaccinat...

It's quite obvious at this point, that vaccination protects ME, and ME alone. Pretending that vaccination status confers magical sainthood and capital-P Purity amongst its devotees is old hat.

And enacting actual unconstitutional policy predicated on old science is even worse.

I'm still waiting, after a year and a half, for any governments, anywhere, to mandate the ONLY thing that the science is VERY CLEAR will ACTUALLY dramatically reduce COVID fatalities among everyone under 70: mandatory weight loss for the obese.

But something tells me you won't advocate for THAT particular policy position, will you?
> Homeless shelters can also help by making it hard for them to continue their drug addictions

Many homeless choose the street over the shelter for this reason
> I personally don't want to live in a world where I am asked to show my papers -- whatever those papers may be -- to participate in daily life.

Has that participation ever involved travel to another country? Standard passports exist for very good reasons... otherwise, there wouldn't be 100% of nations who depend on them (are there even any nations that don't ask for one?)
In Australia, despite a long abiding concept of ANZAC which means new Zealanders can live and work in Australia visa free for life, and can take citizenship but don't have to. But, if they dont: if you receive a custodial sentence, you're deported when it completes.

Kids raised entirely in Australia with no family connection to NZ (or Tonga, or PNG or a host of economies from which Australia sourced labour in times past) are just tossed out. Done.

It's inhumane. They've sent ethnic Bulgarians and Turks back to the homeland when people have no Bulgarian or Turkish language skills.

It used to be punishment ended when the sentence ended but now, retribution has no time limit.

It's entirely discretionary btw. They don't have to do it. They just chose to do it. (The current government)

Raise this in domestic forums and racism and nationalist "fuck you, I'm all that matters" emerges very quickly.

If you're entitled to citizenship of Australia don't wait. Your life here may depend on it.
Now it's online
What you're seeing in this thread about how is a person by themselves supposed to be clean for an interview, have an address for a check, get housing on minimum wage in San Francisco, etc. is missing the point. 70%+ of people who are homeless climb out it, proving that it is possible (despite the aforementioned resource challenges -- that's almost tautological to what being poor is). Those who don't and remain chronically homeless have some combination of reduced functional ability, reduced physical or mental health (including stress from poverty contributing to drug use and vice versa), or other more fundamental issues. These people also exist in other countries.

What's more unique to the U.S. is that for large swathes of people, their family has totally washed their hands of their responsibility. Compared to poor authoritarian countries that's probably because in those countries, families know their loved ones will die if they are left out on their own with no help. Compared to Europe, it's because large segments of the population have broken family units (e.g. 72% of black babies are born to unmarried mothers, who by nature have much more difficulty providing resources / shelter to an adult child who moved away to another city and is homeless there. And this is definitely impacted by historic racism, and even modern-day racism, but is independently now a self-perpetuating cycle of poverty and broken families and crime).

I'm going to be downvoted but I've worked in homeless shelters, for public outreach, for jobs programs, and the problem is incredibly challenging. The idea that society can replace family is inane. What you see on HN is some white liberal dude who grew up in an upper-middle-class family, makes $300K a year waving their fingers over a keyboard but thinks they're financially oppressed so votes for Bernie Sanders, and just repeats some stuff they read on reddit or some shitty NPR story, but who has never bothered to truly spend time doing public health outreach, has never truly interacted with the homeless for an entry-level job, has never really assessed their ability to complete even basic tasks. They think it should be an easy problem to solve with just a few more resources, which they vote for (obviously without getting themselves dirty in the process), and then see it as evidence of an unjust society while wondering why SF is getting shittier every year.

You can’t fix it.

You can possibly help them recover.

But clinical depression is a clinical diagnosis that warrants clinical intervention by a trained clinician. Your role is supportive over the long period of treatment.

You can’t fix it because you are so close to the person suffering. Their state will make you angry, sad, etc. because of that.

And in the end, if the person is not treating their mental illness there is not a lot you can do about it. In that sense, it’s a bit contagious…not clinically of course…but in the sense that the mental health of the people around you can stress you.

Good luck.
LED bulbs are a relatively recent invention, thus their manufacture, at industrial scales, was built on developments in manufacturing engineering that didn't exist when the incandescent bulb was developed. So here's a question for you: if we went back and re-tooled incandescent assembly lines for modern processes, would LEDs still beat them?
Adding to the thoughts before, letting the virus spread and mutate among the unvaccinated to create a new variant sounds like a reset on the progress we've made. With the Delta we got lucky, our vaccines still largely work. I'm not sure how long the luck will hold on with more variants.

I'm all for leaving people alone to their own decisions. But with this, their decisions greatly affect me and society at large.
