I've heard this before, I wonder how much of this a simple 1-2 month vacancy between tenets and how much is actually people owning buildings and not renting them out. It seems like a large portion is short term vacancies. Owning an empty building seems like a bad investment when you could rent it out and make much more money.
I was trying to find an article as a quick summary of some approaches but couldn’t after a bit of searching. Googling some different keywords suggested https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/140879 as starting points more generally though.
> if you're not rooting for innovative companies

> root for others sometime.

I'll root for those companies when they start rooting for me, and for the rest of us. My objection to those firms, and to the obscene individual wealth of the people who own them, isn't about innovation, it's about them as "companies", as immortal legal persons whose fundamental purpose is the enrichment of their owners. That they make rockets or hastily-made electric cars is incidental, and so is the fact that we're allowed the great privilege of working in them until we're laid off. They don't exist for us; they exist for the owner. The nanosecond that making space toys or vroom-vrooms or employing you and me works against those people's interests, well, poof, there will go the rockets and cars and you and me.

> that are creating the future

I'd laugh if this weren't so terribly sad. What future, exactly? Firms like these have been "innovating" and "building the future" for a good century now, and doing so in that exact Harvard Business Review jargon for at least my own lifetime. You're right that they have the future in their hands -- collectively, they have the most power and wealth of (nearly) any entity on the planet -- but what future have they delivered? A dying planet, endless war, no real wage increase in half a century -- that future? Millions homeless in the wealthiest polity in world history -- maybe that one? The unhoused, or maybe the ones driven into penury by healthcare "costs"?

The implication that we should be somehow thankful for these people and their legal structures is like ... I don't know. Where's your self-respect? Where are your standards?

How bout this, I'll make you a deal: I'll work on getting "beyond my own ego" if you ask yourself sincerely why you believe what you wrote.
You seems to insist on that a lot, but can't seem to show it.
>> The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (2003) estimates, 38% of homeless people were dependent on alcohol and 26% abused other drugs.

Actually, more recent data[0] shows that 36% of chronically homeless people have drug dependency/mental health issues. And since only ~20% of the homeless are chronically homeless, that's less than ten percent of the homeless population.

Except that doesn’t happen on Quora. So what happens on Quora?

You ask a question - when did Titanic sink? And usually the answers would be someone talking about how (in)accurate the film is. They’d talk about where they went to college. They’d talk about their exes and how they missed the last bus home after they watched the film with their ex. If they’re in the mood you’ll also get to learn about mangoes and furniture. Things like what’s the chemical formula of water and then that of ice after enacting a cliffhanger. Or secret knowledge such as ice is kinda harder than water. And some lamenting thoughts such as it was all the fault of ice. They were at the wrong time in the wrong waters. They might have forgotten about mentioning the day when Titanic sank. Good part is by now you would have forgotten that as well.

I grew up on the south side of Indianapolis perhaps one of the worst walkable places there is. There are major streets there still named for street car service “Stop 11/Stop 12/etc”.

The wild thing is that it was direct public policy that lead to the death of extensive public transit there.
There's also a not insignificant number of employers that use their status as one of a very few employers in town to abuse employees, either in salary or otherwise, because the barrier to quitting is "do I want to uproot my entire family and have to move?" This definitely factors into people not wanting to move to places where there aren't not only jobs, but enough variety in employers to hedge against the worst of the worst.
This. If a proposed building meets the zoning requirements, it should be able to be built, full stop. To build anything you have to kowtow to the local building commission and the extortion of local groups[0]. Simply decreeing that it is a property owner's right to 'build a 5 story apartment building on a lot zoned for 5 story apartment buildings[1]' would do so much to alleviate housing pressure.

It almost seems like the law was created with the full intent of tearing down local zoning privileges en masse. I won't get my hopes up, but I would love to see that.
>Apart from the fact that most people there have to do a big shop once a week at the nearest supermarket

The nearest supermarket is often directly in the village area. And if you not, it just takes 1-2 trips per month to go there.

And people live and work there, they don't commute to "urban workplaces". These are rural villages, not suburbs.
It's because some people think the way Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. build web pages is considered "best practice" and try to emulate them.

It's actually worst practice for all but the largest companies and teams. We as an industry need to start doing a much, much better job communicating to all relevant parties that the best way to build most web sites/apps most of the time will look radically different from how Big Tech does it, and that's actually expected and reasonable.
If you talk to me about "the homeless" if you have something interesting to say I'll listen.

If you talk to me about "people experiencing homelessness" my eyes glaze over and I stop listening.
Is this true? The message triggers try to identify nudity within the accounts of minors. Is the notification only going to the parent? Is it stored for possible later use? Are those photos ever reviewed?
A possibility would be catering to local minorities and their creators in various places around the world, but that sounds like a lot of work. And here in Australia for example you'd be situated against SBS/ABC which do a lot of ethnic and minority content.

I'd also be worried anything big with wide appeal would be snapped up by Netflix et al. Here in Australia Cosby, Family Matters, Fresh Prince etc were all very popular. But this was in a mainstream way, African-American issues and experiences were largely irrelevant to us as viewers.
>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".

That seems to be a distinction without a difference, IMHO.

If you have friends who will let you crash on their couch, does that make you less homeless than if you don't have any friends? Or at least none that will let you crash on their couch?

The vast majority of homeless people wouldn't be homeless if they could afford to rent/buy housing.

That sounds like economic reasons to me. Or am I missing something?
While I’m at it, short story:

There was an on-base McDonalds which I believe I was probably the only customer of. They shut that down to become the ‘Lunar Science Institute’ and moved all the moon rocks there. That was when we requested the moon dust and they sent simulant from Goddard instead. The McDonald’s was right next to the old Navy bachelor officer’s quarters, which we opened up to house the intern program. I had a few interns and a big empty lab so they used to hang out in my space. Well anyway, this is where my personal knowledge of the situation ends and the folklore begins, but, one of these kids had a crush on some girl who rebuffed his advances, but at some point acquiesced some form of willingness if they were on the moon to save mankind, something like that. Well, security was not great in that place, and I guess it hadn’t been upgraded since the days of serving Big Macs. He got the moon dust and laid it down on a bed for this girl. I forget how it ended for those two, but, we made do with the simulant.
> Economics works itself out if you let it.

It's not just the businesses that are lost. Entire towns are at risk. We're facing the same problem in a lot of small mountain towns here in Colorado. Businesses can't hire because workers can't afford to leave anywhere near. The poor business environment and rising prices destroys the quality of life for locals, and the feedback can drain the population.

I feel like this is an experiment that hasn't been fully conducted on a large scale anywhere, but I fear it will be soon.

I've been to a few cities in the US (I'm a foreigner), like Denver and Atlanta, and they are very pedestrian hostile. Almost no sidewalks, every street looks like a roadway (large) and every shop seems to belong to these islands where you can park your car and do your stuff. Not saying this is good or bad, but it's very different from every other country that I've came across. An exception in the US would be Las Vegas.
Correct. Functionally there is no difference to what Google does with their own cloud photo service. The only difference is where the processing occurs.

Turning off cloud photo syncing will disable the scan on both Android and iOS.

I think a lot of the industrial scale remediation for mosquitos also impacted the bird population. I have a Mosquito "pond" in the back yard and there is no noticeable increase in Mosquitos, for the most part they all get consumed by birds.

The problem is that there isn't. A metastudy found that virtually the entire positive affect attributed to ivermectin derived from the Elgazzar study, which was fraudulent. Ivermectin doesn't work on COVID.
>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.

Not GP, but the biggest barrier to work I had was not having a regular place to shower or keep clean clothes.

For some strange reason, employers don't like it if you're unbathed and in dirty clothes. I was never able to figure out why. Perhaps you could opine on that?

Sorry, let me clarify: the SF _Bay Area_ has a lot more housing theoretically allowed within existing zoning.

But I’ll admit, in the case of the Bay Area, it’s such a desirable place to live that if they build a million homes tomorrow I’m not sure it would satisfy demand, though I do think that would be enough to move us down the price curve a bit.

NewPipe also has an audio-only option. Unlike YouTube Vanced (a mod of the original YouTube app), NewPipe is open source and supports video downloading. I think the main advantages of Vanced over NewPipe are the SponsorBlock integration and the ability to log in to a Google account (if that's what you're looking for).
I believe you're looking for something like Outseta (https://www.outseta.com/)

- Notifications

Pretty amazing if you ask me. I have no affiliation with Outseta, but I do follow the founder on Twitter.

As a long time HNer who quit caring about the points long ago, the overall comment quality on HN tanked a while ago.

As a mathematician, I’m often dismayed by the fantasy and fallacy the tech crowd buys into.

Tech hype isn’t high quality content, since most software is math that was already figured out years ago.

And finding yet another math object that abides the well known order of operations is a bit quaint at this point.

None of this is bending laws of physics.

Being accurately meta about reality is redundant and repetitive.

Edit: pretty great when a FB employee complains about the state of online discourse, btw. When a paycheck depends on ones obliviousness and all that.

Housing is actually more expensive outside of San Francisco, at least suburbs close to the city.

I’d say there is more demand for a house with a yard in the suburbs than a 2 bedroom apartment in the city.

Especially in a post-Covid world where people are working from home, who wants to be stuck in an apartment during the next lockdown?
>The same checking when you synced things to iCloud. As has been repeated over and over again, this check happens for iCloud Photos. It's not running arbitrarily.

Who said it's running "arbitrarily"? Who said it's not about iCloud Photos?

>Your photos were compared before and they're being compared now... if you're using iCloud Photos.

They weren't always compared, they started being compared a few years ago, and they moved to comparing them with a new scheme now.

Both are bad, and not the responsibility of a company selling phones - and also a bad precedent (now it's "think of the children", tomorrow "think of the country", then "think of those with wrong ideas", then "think how much money insurance companies can save" and what have you).

As for your suggestions to just "stop using iCloud Photos", how about we get to enjoy the features we bought our devices for, without stuff we didn't ask for and don't want?

> It is illegal to build new dense walkable neighborhoods in almost all of north america

Yes.. because of the people's representatives. Why is that do you think?

> The older east coat cities built walkable neighbourhoods before they became illegal.

Technically, they were built before the modern automobile era when there was really no alternative. Additionally, geography played a part. Manhattan is land-constrained. So is San Francisco. LA, Chicago and Atlanta are not.

By any quantitative measure, Americans have clearly chosen a car-dependent lifestyle. Since WW2, houses have gotten larger while families have gotten smaller. When given the choice between less space is a downtown neighbourhood or more space in the suburbs the vast majority of people choose the latter.

People will even choose more space and pay exorbitant private school fees rather than live with less space but get a "free" excellent public school system, even though the latter is almost always more economically sensible, even more so the more children a family has.
Yes but my understanding is that the hashes are perceptual, as opposed to cryptographic.

If the system was matching against known cryptographic hashes the collision / false positive rate would be small, but the fuzzy matching involved with perceptual hashing necessarily has a greater false positive rate.

And that doesn’t even begin to address the detection of sent and received “explicit images” which are detected on device and don’t have a set of known hashes.
The way I see it is as:

> The DRY principle is stated as "Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system".

I don't avoid copy-pasting as a rule, but would deduplicate a block of code if they represent different occurrences of the same "knowledge" of a shared procedure, but create separate functions or duplicate code if each one encodes "knowledge" of a different process to be followed. Of course it's hard to define and codify "knowledge" in an objective form that different people can use the same way, but in my experience, I still feel this rule (and the rest of my gut feeling for refactoring) hasn't provided bad guidance in the situations I've encountered so far (though it's not always applicable, takes domain understanding and experience to identify "knowledge", and it's sometimes difficult nonetheless).
I'm not someone who uses that framing. I'm just telling you why it gets used.

I typically talk about "the homeless population" or "homeless individuals." I spent years homeless. I have had a college class on Homelessness and Public Policy. I'm a blogger and freelance writer and I think language matters but I also generally agree that people sometimes get too hung up on language to the point where it's counterproductive. I try to not get too hung about it or be too nitpicky, personally.
It's been on my list of things to explore for a while... the relationship between defunctionalization, continuations, and "Algebraic Effects".

The reason... I like seeing how different languages handle asynchronous code vs synchronous code. F# has their way, C# has theirs, JavaScript async/await, colored functions, Project Loom, co-routines, React Fibers, etc. I'm intrigued that a language that has built-in algebraic effects can do async wihtout any other changes to the language (as if async and sync were the same).

Is there any relation to defunctionalization for this kind of stuff?
If you actually think there is going to be a fully automated system dispatching police SWAT teams throughout the US without a manual (or judicial) review then.... I really don't know what to tell you.
I don't have the data but given the salaries I assume FAANG software eng is now the target of people that used to go for ibanking/MBB consulting, basically high achievers motivated by achievement in the eyes of others. If that's true, it's going to be a massive demographic shift from the CS folks I went to school with in the late 90s. Based on some of the discussions I see, I think this has already happened in places.
Totally. Facebook and their subsidiaries are the gold-standard for privacy.
I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. I've read so many horror stories about bad experiences with non-Tesla fast charging.

One of the YouTubers I follow (Out of Spec Motoring) frequently takes road trips in non-Tesla EVs and vlogs about them. As a Tesla owner, I frequently watch his vlogs and feel a huge amount of schadenfreude. His trips are much more "interesting" than my own experiences road tripping using the Tesla network. He frequently encounters slow charge rates, failed chargers, and even entire stations being offline. In fact, he talks about how Electrify America shut down its entire network in the I95 corridor for upgrades, leaving non-Teslas stranded.

I've got about 36K on my Model X, about 50% of which came from road trips on the east coast. I've encountered 2 failed chargers, and had to wait to charge once.
You are commenting on a thread about a Cochrane meta-review of the available studies that concludes that there is no conclusive evidence that ivermectin works. They know about the studies; that's the point. They don't show what you want them to.
For most long trips are rare so if 90% of your miles are charged from home (for much less than the cost of gas) you’d prefer charging outside of home to be more easily available even if it comes out more expensive than gas for that particular trip.

I see the 'one in one trillion' but it's a bit vague; I read it as '1 in trillion chance' per image.

So when we have a billion iPhones in the wild taking 10 images a day...1 in a trillion chances happen every few months. Now, if that triggers some further review, maybe that's an acceptable false positive. If it triggers a SWAT team, I don't think it is.
