Just want to say that Ridley Scott only directed the opening episode. I was hoping he'd have done more, but a great introduction nevertheless.
>before someone mentions "mental illness" and "drugs" and other contributors to homelessness

And to build off this, recent counts[1] have found that 26% of Los Angeles's homeless population has mental health issues and 32% has "difficulties with drug or alcohol use". Even if there is zero overlap in those two groups and those issues all originated before the person became homeless (both of those are clearly not true) that would still leave 42% of people who are homeless and don't have either of those issues.

It isn't complicated. A majority of the homeless population is homeless because they simply can't afford a home.

I think you would still be surprised at how many things emacs can still do better like undo in region or even simple macros that find use even during simple text edits.

Though ultimately feature per feature, I don't think emacs looks all that great, but the difference is that you can actually use a lot of what it has to offer whereas it's difficult to do so in more modern editors (with fuzzy matching and all).
This sounds good on paper, but you just have to look at how Walmart destroyed brick and mortar shops. They would build a single giant shop for an entire region and folks would drive to it in droves.

That is to say, I want to agree. I just can't square that with how I've seen small towns destroyed by shopping centers that require cars for the residents to drive to. (Ironically, this is different from the situation that requires companies to drive to the customers. Though, there, reverse pressure exists such that the more reliant on the company driving, the less pleasant the shopping experience.)
Wait, it is ok to hire based on race, gender identity, and sexual orientation?
It'll take a lot more than $5000 to get my permission to tunnel under my house. I'm not sure what the number would be but $5k isn't even in the ballpark. I would be concerned about things such as vibration, structural integrity, ventilation, and potential noise through the ventilation. Probably more things if gave it much thought. Depends on how deep the tunnel is, also.
No we’ve had the backdoor discussion on and off for the last 30 years at least, during which people have been able to communicate privately over long distances.

I’m interested in reports that human trafficking is on the rise. I wasn't aware this was becoming more of an issue. Is there correlation between the introduction of mobile phones and an increase in human trafficking that would suggest new technology is an enabling factor?
Climate resiliency was a primary factor in our decision to move last year to western New York. Farmland, fresh water, and not too hot. Check out Figure 10 in the linked report...

> We have an economy that can't provide enough jobs.

Bullshit. There is plenty of work that needs to be done.

People are just paid to not do it. In urban areas, they become political slaves, and in rural areas, it destroys any chance they might have of building a local economy.
Disney World (Florida) was built on what's basically the top floor of a parking garage, so that all infrastructure and access could be "underground" and out of sight.

Which is an interesting enough topic on its own, but one thing this allowed was for trash cans to "bottomless": the trash dropped through to conveyor belts below.

No one has to see trash carts or be grossed out watching a trash can be emptied. It also prevented stinky trash drippings from falling on the hardscapes.

Along came the recycling movement, and Disney was quick to implement single stream trash collection and recycling, sorting all trash for recycling after it was collected.

But people were angry that Disney didn't have visible recycling bins next to garbage cans. They would interrupt employees and give them their recyclables. Employees, knowing it all got sorted anyway, would throw it away. Which made people angrier, even if they were told that everything would be sorted for recycling.

So angry, that Disney had to spend a huge amount of money installing "dummy" recycling cans next to the existing trash cans. Cutting holes through reinforced concrete slabs. Major construction.

These also emptied onto the same single stream garbage collection system, but visitors were pacified.
You are the perfect person I want to have a conversation with. Assuming we are operating under a similar definition of homelessness which people find to be a problem, IE dispersed living on public property within city limits.

How did this happen? What became a barrier for work mainly? Skills, network ? Did you find groups of other homeless similar to yourself or did you isolate yourself.
If you really need them, then pay them more. Otherwise you dont need them do you.

People dont want to pay a business enough so they can hire people? Then you dont get the business.

Even government run public housing charges rent. Making housing free will mean even larger subsidies are required for construction, which means fewer units built overall.
Strictly, I want those without the wifi. :D

That said, they do fit my bill really well and I'm almost certainly going to switch to them eventually.

Even the current version of Emacs doesn't do fuzzy completion for M-x commands, just start-of-token completion; out of the box the completion is a little basic. I know there are packages which make this a lot better, but you have to know about the packages. :)

Even so, the "sort lines" example works well with even the out-of-the-box completion. But, Emacs sometimes has its own language for things. If I didn't know the keyboard commands for "make region uppercase" and "make region lowercase" (which in fact I'd forgotten, although they're pretty trivial), then as far as I could tell the best way I could find them would be: Google. Inside Emacs, I could type "M-x up" and get the correct "upcase-region", but if I'd typed "M-x upp", I'd be out of luck. And Emacs-ese for "lowercase" is "downcase"; I wouldn't have guessed that at all!

So I'm not sure the flow looks nigh identical for that many cases like this. The way I remember learning Emacs basics many years ago was actually through menus. Looking at Emacs's menus now, in v27.2, they're...kind of eclectic? The basics are there, but a lot, well, isn't. BBEdit is admittedly somewhat at the other extreme, with possibly just too damn much in its menus, but that does make a lot of its functionality very easily discoverable.

At any rate, I should be clear that I think this is a mild knock against Emacs; I bounce off it in part because of this relative lack of discoverability, and also because it just seems like it takes a lot of effort relative to most other editors to set up comfortably. The flip side of that is that, as the "Lock-In Effect" article notes, once you do have it set up the way you like it, you are probably never going to have any motivation to switch. That is absolutely not a knock -- it's configurable and extensible in a way nothing else is.
Even if the library doesn’t change, doesn’t the possibility of the list of “bad” hashes changing exist? I.e., in your example, a new hash is added to by Apple to the list at 11:30am, and then checked against your unchanged library.
You are right, haven't tried many alternatives. I suppose I've built a site for someone in squarespace, also backseat helped someone out with their wix based site. I want something really intuitive which would take no learning curve which is perhaps unrealistic. One person I know has used bubble and was satisfied with it, but to me it seemed like a bespoke type of language / gui based framework that had to be managed with a lot of dials and knobs, not eliminating the complexity just reformatting it in what is to me a foreign language. Also, I was not impressed by the quality of the site that was created with bubble but maybe that varies per user.
Being specific with the arguments and addressing the nuance matters imo.

Most of the HN responses are dumb, get the details wrong, and don’t take the trade offs seriously. That kind of thing causes me to dismiss them entirely.

There are legitimate arguments and risks which I’d concede, but they’re not what most people in the comments are talking about.
First of all, that statistic is not about household emissions, but emissions in total (production only perhaps). On the other hand, it doesn't include all types of household emissions either, because it doesn't account for the entire life cycle of emissions tied to products that has been produced in other countries, and which US citizens consume to a much higher degree than the global average. Household consumption is the main driver of emissions, and high-consuming societies bears much of the blame for the emissions generated by production which has been outsourced to other countries.
New Zealand is the most popular destination for ultra wealthy people who are trying to flee the possible coming collapse of society. The plan i think is that once the earth is pillaged sufficiently that systems start breaking down they’re going to f** off to New Zealand and sip martinis in their bunkers while we kill each other off. Then they will become lords- a ”cognitive elite”- of a sort of corporate-feudal city-state system.

I think it’s kind of silly, but evidently they don’t, which is worrisome.

> As in "Sell meth here, and we will literally chuck you out the door like yesterday's garbage. Lawsuits don't mean shit to us."

Public and public-subsidized housing already has that kind of policy (and much broader than that since it extends beyond “sell”, “meth”, and “here”) in the US by federal mandate; its a driver of homelessness, not a solution.
Only thing that drove me crazy was the finale. Everything before that was great. Definitely dark.

Some action has happened on that front that's promising - but IMO the most promising thing about these new laws isn't how effective they will be (mildly) but the attitudinal changes they represent.

The RHNA rules are riddled with loopholes, and cities are already finding creative ways to jumping through them. Most notably it does not strictly require that zoned capacity be likely (or even possible) to develop.

You'll find examples where cities have proposed rezoning mountain-side lots on steep ravines in order to fulfill state RHNA mandates, knowing full-well that any actual project would be unbuildable. Time will tell if state regulators will have the teeth to go after cities for this kind of blatant bad faith NIMBYism.
It's not a math problem, it's a human problem.

suppose you have a partner who is a 'petite' woman of 34. She enjoys posting nudies on a website, but without her face in that picture. Someone who collects child porn downloads it, because he enjoys that picture. A year later he gets caught by the police and all his pictures get marked as 'verified child porn'. Suddenly you get marked as owning child porn.
That is what I meant. The point is that everyone talking about how this policy introduces a backdoor which can be exploited by totalitarian states are wrong.

There's no need. Apple willfully obliges local laws.
Because the govt. has not let the market solve it. In what free market are NIMBYs given this much free reign?
I don't know what to say to you if you consider someone voicing opposition to this move by Apple as a "useless platitude" if they don't also believe that we have a constitutional right to post CP on the internet.

I'm kind of curious how they've tackled the multi-armed bandits and early stopping problems inherent to A/B testing but so far I've only found that they use some form of Bayesian statistics using unknown priors and likelihoods (except when you pick binomial I suppose, though the prior is still unknown).

They seem to allow filtering drilling down by various categories, which would make statistical significance even more of a concern.

Only if that configuration continues to be profitable. It may later become more profitable to increase the box size, or like they mentioned in the article, to standardize box sizes.

The costs of cereals vary widely, which leads to fragmentation, which leads to logistical and operational inefficiency. They may even prefer to take a loss on this cereal to increase size if it affords them efficiencies across their whole product line.

Thanks. I’ve lived homeless and borrowed a lot from VanLife for 3 years in SF. Here’s my work on the subject; still in progress:

Https://Harlanji.com/urban-camping-pro

One of my projects is analyzing my data during various housing periods in the past 3-10 years like receipts, as a basis for the Physics concept art at the end. It’s open source and writing is not my primary vocation but I have the distilled experience there and am working on editing and the data.

Thanks for addressing drugs and mental illness as you did, as well. I’d add that those things likely increase as people are stuck on the street and face adversity and lose hope. I manage to evade detection as homeless for the most part, got tough in lockdown without showers and with reduced bathroom access. Hard to stay employed without a shower, hence housing is critical to the bootstrap process of “get a job, bum!”
> Even government run public housing charges rent.

IIRC, the norm is sliding-scale income contingent with a minimum of zero, so, it only sometimes charges rent, and has costs associated with identifying whether to charge and, if so, the rent to charge, charging, tracking, and collecting it.

> If each side waits for the other, neither gets done.

But for it to get done, we essentially have to junk all current IC vehicles, and build replacements. My question was whether or not that actually puts us ahead CO2/climate-wise.
I don't quite understand the contradiction. If you're talking about small rural areas, sure, but that's a tiny fraction of our population. And rural areas don't typically vigorously block apartment and walkable development.

And I haven't seen every rural town, but all of the ones that I know of have plenty of housing near a walkable core too. I know lots of rural people that have no trouble getting in 20,000 steps daily because of that walkability of homes neat the downtown.

But suburbia, the vast majority of our new housing over the past 50-60 years, is not rural, and is of a very different character.

Strong Towns has been reporting on this for years, from the fiscally conservative side. Though I don't call myself any sort of fiscal conservative, the data and analysis is very good, IMHO:

Malthus thesis was that populations grow exponentially, whereas resources grow linearly, thus population will relatively soon overshoot the available resources. Malthus was also an optimist. We are in a situation where we have a hard limit on the amount of (fossil fuel energy) resources we can globally expend. At least according to the Paris agreement. Take your time to internalize the consequences of this hard limit. Hint: TotalEmissions(fixed) = Population * PerCapitaEmissions.

Your document doesn't really support your claim.

>at least 2.5 to 3.5 million Americans sleep in shelters, transitional housing, and public places not meant for human habitation [...] At least an additional 7.4 million have lost their own homes and are doubled-up with others due to economic necessity

In other words, if we expand the definition of homeless to include people who are living with others "due to economic necessity", then most of the "homeless" are homeless for economic reasons. That's not exactly the same as "most people who are conventionally homeless (for a lack of a better term) are homeless for economic reasons". When you say "homeless", most people think of "sleeping on the streets", not "crashing at a friends house".
Fortunately (?) people are dumb and the rush will happen at the last minute.
The most probable use of artificial wombs would not be for some extinction event, but rather to gradually make up for the population decline that is happening as the world develops. Technological, economic, and retirement factors require a certain level of population growth, and so does meaningful space exploration.
In this scenario, the world would be covered in easily accessible metal scrap.
> Few want to upend their lives for a job that is of unknown duration though

This is one of the problems.

The question about moving somewhere is "What happens when my job evaporates?" If you're sitting in the Midwest, the answer is "Congratulations, you get to move again.".

Another problem with leaving a high cost of living area for a low cost of living area is that moving back to the high cost of living area can be almost impossible. Once you slip off the housing pyramid scheme in a high cost of living area, you can't get back onto it.

It's better to stay in the high cost of living area until you've banked enough money that you can leave permanently.

> There are foundries and factories dotting the Midwest, where they struggle to get enough people to show up sober.

Add an extra zero to the hourly wage and people will show up sober. This isn't a hard problem to solve.

I get soooo tired of this.

My anecdote along the lines of this was sitting at an injection molding conference while they sat and whined that they couldn't hold on to workers. And need more people in the pipeline. Etc. ... I'm somewhat sympathetic--I was a hiring manager during the DotBomb so I understand getting poached quite intimately. It doesn't help that working on an injection molding line is a tough job and pretty physically demanding--molds are basically a 40-100 cubic feet of steel and changing them out is rough.

So, they finally name the poachers ...

Amazon and Foxconn.

Holy hell!

I simply couldn't keep my mouth shut and went non-linear. I said loudly and in no uncertain terms that if they're losing people to two of the worst employers on the planet that they simply need to shut the hell down. Otherwise, shut the fuck up about poaching and pipelines until your salaries don't suck donkey balls.

I didn't make many friends that day. But the couple I did had their heads screwed on straight.

Just because the employer is in the Midwest doesn't make them competent.
> However, it does mean that parking will become harder

In the city I'm near, using public parking lots means a 20 minute walk to your destination, with a $10 fee from all the time walking (or uber), with private parking costing around $15, and no meters in sight. This creates an isolated area that people never go to for a bite to eat, coffee, window shopping, or anything really, since it's a > $10 fee just to step on the sidewalk. Not surprisingly, there's incredible churn for the businesses down there (pre Coronavirus). The only people they have to service are the other businesses in the area and the few that live there. With coronavirus, it was all wiped out.
I lived in the Junction in West Seattle for 7 years. Highly walkable, lots of highrises in the core, but still lots of (very expensive!) single family homes. Now I live on Alki and it is much less walkable. I can get around but have to climb Admiral to get to a grocery store. Several of our bus routes were permanently closed.

Queen Anne benefits from being in Seattle and the economic benefits that has to businesses that make a neighborhood walkable. It’s also just very old and was built when walkability was a necessity. Unfortunately it is prohibitively expensive because higher density development is difficult or impossible.
Unfortunately any time a National Security Letter comes along, whatever it asks for will get implemented and the company will be unable to communicate anything for the gag period. It may already have happened.
