Enforcing restrictions that are excessive in order to just keep cases down is in most case even more detrimental to the long-term quality of life of the majority of the population.
What so many of the restrictions enthusiasts don’t seem to understand, is the long term mental health impact this upending of society has had on all of us, and especially on the younger generations.
I say this as a fully vaccinated individual.

Regarding the specific case, to make my position even more nuanced, I don’t have a specific problem with having to prove vaccination or positive test for indoor dining. Here in Berlin that’s the rule they used when reopening last May, and it never went away. This way, nobody has ever really debated it.
Hard to see how the net impact of this lawsuit is going to be anything other than more state violence directed at homeless people.

> Maybe they would move elsewhere if people stop catering their food? I agree the city has a problem, but to me she exacerbates it (and OP on this thread seems to agree)

What is an appropriate response? As an individual who cares about the homeless, you can want, and seek to force, the city to address the problem, but the large-scale remedies that can be pursued by local government are not available to you personally. Do you really think one would occupy a moral high ground by doing nothing, compared to trying at least to alleviate the suffering of the people who are stuck in this position that they don't want either?

(To put it differently, do you think that the homeless are there because it's the best possible place?)

And it's somewhat-to-entirely unethical and logistically impossible to conduct even uncontrolled studies over a human's entire lifespan, which is really what we're talking about here. I don't think anybody is worried that eating eggs every day will cause health problems for an otherwise-healthy 25-year-old.

For macOS, if you like Vimium, you'll like Vimac https://vimacapp.com/ as well. It supersedes vimium but vimium is still better while working in the browser context.

I'm also actively trying to go mouseless and Vimium+Vimac and setting custom keybindings to move/click my mouse on my ZSA Moonlander keyboard are currently helping me excellently.

In many cases, moving your hand to the mouse, finding the cursor, moving it and clicking it is a lot slower than a keystroke combo like F-SD.

No more hardware maintenance, just throw away the whole thing (the dumb terminal) and replace it with a new one, we'll send it in for repair later.

That’s easily faked. To prove vaccination, a picture of a card is not sufficient. If that’s all that’s required as proof then this won’t accomplish anything meaningful.

Wow. You've got some opinions about homeless people, don't you?
You should look into this more because although you have some info, you're misinformed too. For example when you are severely mentally ill you often have 2 choices:

1. Take daily medication that makes you so lethargic or nauseated (or both) that you certainly can't work.

2. Don't take medication and deal with delusions or hallucinations, or both, which again prevents you from working. When you're talking out loud to voices only you can hear, no one wants to work with you.
Clearly the environment in KC:D is historically accurate because it's derived from extant historical records.
Closer to $280 once tax and social security is taken out.
There's a difference between chronic homelessness (which is probably caused by mental illness or drug abuse), and "typical" homelessness.

"Typical" people are homeless for only a few days before someone in their social circle rescues them (and its not a happy story either: it could be that they tried living on the streets but ultimately decided that living with their alcoholic and abusive husband is superior to living on the streets). A lot of effort should probably be made at helping these individuals and providing support here.

We shouldn't give up on Chronic homelessness either. Not everyone is mentally sick or a druggie. But a substantial number of them are clearly sick. And even if they are mentally sick, a pathway should be figured out to try to find a way to make them productive members of society.
>It may also be that you can get more than 400$/week panhandling. That's only 57$/day.

Are we comparing the upper end of what you can earn via pan-handling with the lower end of what you can earn via a minimum wage job here? That might be responsible for the apparent disparity. Apparently LA has around 65k homeless people. I'm skeptical that even half of that (32.5k) can all earn an average income of $400/week panhandling.

That's fair, my apologies for proclaiming that you don't understand. I should have known better especially on this forum.

I see where you're coming from and I don't entirely disagree with your conclusion. The post you linked, makes a strong case for not jumping to conclusions based on grey matter studies, which I think is sound advice.

That said, I maintain that given the option to get COVID or not get COVID, I would greatly prefer the later. You similarly won't find me gaming long hours, and I make sure to get plenty of sleep. In other words, taking precautions that avoid injury is generally a good idea. And FWIW, I don't find the controls in that study to be terrible? I'm not exactly an authority of statistical analysis though, so I'll trust that this is outside my scope of understanding.

Where it sounds like we disagree most is whether or not the risk of COVID causing injury is worth something as small (or large) as asking for proof of vaccination.

It just so happens that I think asking for proof of vaccination is a relatively minor thing given the possibilities of COVID.
Got anything more than hearsay to back that up?

The essence of the difference between keyboard and mouse interfaces is simply that the mouse introduces that extra mechanical layer between user’s intent and internal APIs, but offers the advantage of discoverability.

That advantage and disadvantage tradeoff heavily depends on the nature of core functionality, how it’s mapped to the UI by the developer/designer, and user’s overall experience and familiarity with software.

If you take the problem in good-faith. That is, that even if these people wanted to engage in pro-social behavior, it's essentially nihilist at this point to assume anyone in this position can achieve this without years of support. I think a lot of it comes from policies that have in America that have effectively destroyed the housing supply. This goes triple for California.

For folks living on the street, you absolutely cannot earn enough from a minimum wage to house yourself. At best, you could barely get by sharing housing with a few folks. Assuming you have addiction issues that lead to anti-social behavior, you will have difficulty maintaining relationships in share living spaces and maintaining your employment.

I think we would have a dramatically different situation with our homeless, if someone could reasonably afford a small one-bedroom or studio apartment at 25%-40% of the prevailing minimum wage. As it stands, in Los Angeles, median one-bedroom seems to be about $2,362/month, and a minimum wage job there, before taxes only pays $2,462 per month.

Thus, a minimum wage job, even if the person magically paid nothing in taxes cannot even come close to covering the median unit, by a factor of 2-4. In addition, that median unit likely requires further assets like a vehicle in order for a person to be able to access employment.

Because of this American development pattern, it is nearly impossible for people to even begin to earn enough money to maintain any sense of private living space.

The IP on the interface is different than the one that it was theoretically configured with. My suspicion is that perhaps the IP used was changed at some point and this is just an editing slip.

> Now that the interface has an IP, we have to add a static host route entry for it to communicate:

If both sides are configured with an appropriate netmask on the same subnet, there's no need for a specific host route.
> don't believe this will have much of a net effect on vaccination rate

People who are still opposed to getting vaccinated, versus simply apathetic, are probably never going to be convinced. These measures should encourage the apathetic. For the others, it's cutting losses and hoping it encourages quarantine--whether that be staying home or moving. (Being unvaccinated upstate or in Tennessee is less problematic than being unvaccinated in Manhattan.)

If we take the promise of mRNA platforms at face value, we are heading into an increasingly disease-free future with a strong minority self selecting affliction. I imagine we'll see more debates of this form if e.g. there is a population that is inoculated against Covid, most STDs, the flu, et cetera; and one that is not.

AFAIK the homeless problem exploded when the US shut down its institutional mental health system in the 1980s.

The shutdown wasn't just to cut costs. Many institutions had terrible records that included abusive treatment of patients. But we pulled the plug on that system with no replacement, so major cities became open air psychiatric wards.

I've almost been hit by cars in SF for the exact same reason. Cities need to designate places for encampments to stop them from blocking sidewalks or disrupting residential areas. And they need to rapidly remove any that do block public access or disrupt residences.

I think that is the reason for very few homeless cases. Drugs and mental illness are the big two. And that says nothing about society.

That is true, little as I like him. As of yesterday polling for the recall was 46% for-48% against, which is tight enough to make things very uncertain. Not sure why you're being downvoted for factual statements, Elder is the leading Republican candidate at present and only a plurality is required in the event that the recall vote passes. California coul din theory be governed by someone who only had the support of 20% of the voters.
How do you cash a paycheck if you are without an address or a bank account?

How do you establish that you are a citizen and are legally able to take a job if you are unable to safely store your documents?

How do you get health care, inclusive of mental health care, if you are unable to pay for it?

If you are without a secure residence, how do you know when to wake up, how do you clean up, put on fresh clothing, and get to work?

If you rely on public transit, how do you reliably get to work?

How do you establish residence if you have no reasonable credit or references?

How do you save your deposit, first month's rent, and last month's rent, if you are unable to even get a bank account?

For any complex problem there is an obvious, simple, and totally incorrect answer.

"The homeless should just get a job and get a place to live"
Yeah, all of these "long covid" symptoms overlap substantially with other, common things, or have otherwise been defined so liberally by these terrible, self-reported "studies" that anyone with a normal human immune system and a head cold would qualify. Just consider the three most common complaints (by far):

Cough & Shortness of breath: allergies, asthma, typical recovery process from any cold or flu

Fatigue: depression, anxiety, insomnia, recovery from most illness

Brain fog (whatever that is): depression, anxiety, insomnia, recovery from illness...

It's not that "long covid" isn't real...it's just that the scientific data for it at present are so vague that you can "have" it by being a normal person.

There isn’t a social safety net for men, by design.

If you’re not a custodial parent, you get food benefits and Medicaid potentially, but are effectively locked out of housing and long term benefits.

If you have a child, you’ll get a subsistence level of living. If not, you hang in for awhile until you get hurt, and eventually fall off the path.
All my experience is with the job market in Seattle. A decade ago I took a job at 80k (via craigslist), against competing offers around 95k, because it involved NLP and Hadoop. A year later I got a 40% raise to a Series E startup that ultimately flamed out, working on ML-adjacent big data stuff. I slowly bumped along until, with an average job tenure of ~2 years, until in the past four years I went from ~160k to slightly over 300k. Technologies have been Hadoop/Spark/Kubernetes ecosystems. First two job hops were via LinkedIn, next two were personal referrals.

The two books I think had the most impact were Mining Massive Datasets by Ullman et al, and Data-Intensive Text Processing by Lin & Dyer, but neither is very cutting-edge now.

I've never worked at a FAANG, but I've had a ~40% interview success rate with them.

My advice would be:

- If you're early in your career or want to switch subspecialties for higher potential remuneration, be willing to take a slight pay cut or work for a slightly shady/low-prestige company for the right experience.

- Actively maintain a detailed profile on LinkedIn. It's a shitty site/company, but that's where the recruiters are. Another tip I've used to get interviews is to do a search for recruiters at a company of interest, and just visit all their profiles. They'll get the notification, and if your profile has the right keyword bait, they'll reach out. Probably more effective than cold submitting a resume through their website.

- Be really lucky. There seems to be a huge amount of variability in terms of how well interview questions match your experience/competencies, as well as being lucky in picking sub-specialties in technologies that end up booming. Also I'd say my personal productivity across all my jobs had probably a 3x variation, so be lucky in that wherever you end up working happens to match your personal strengths and weaknesses. Productivity (and promotions/experience to showcase in interviews) is not just a function of the developer, it's a function of the developer plus the working environment.

A final comment I'll make is that I have a STEM BS, but it's not in CS. Instead I gave myself a virtual CS degree by working through textbooks over 3-4 years, covering the entire course curriculum of a CS undergrad. I'm probably lucky in being temperamentally suited to completing that sort of project.

Wages well below a living wage, untreated mental illness and substance addiction, and general villainization of the homeless. There's a good chance that homeless people couldn't even get many (or most) of those jobs if they tried because the owners/managers wouldn't give them the time of day.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Yes, they would have, but that doesn't mean the title does not conveniently omit that part to make it seem more outrageous than the first paragraph already makes it seem.
Good thing that many employers (typically the ones that employ minimum wage workers) allow you to take your paycheck on a prepaid debit card.

IMO your view of stress at FAANG vs elsewhere is off. Some of the least stressed engineers I know work for the big names.

I'm sure there are stressed engineers there as well, but I'd be surprised if it's actually a higher %.
Because those jobs don't pay enough for the people to afford housing and all the other necessities. And if the ONLY thing it affords you is housing, then you just sleep, wakeup, work, eat plain rice, sleep, repeat, without progressing anywhere. Whoops got sick for 3 days with some terrible shit, fired, lost apartment, car repoed, back to being homeless. Why spend the effort in moving nowhere?

And the hiring processes themselves are usually absolute shit. "Give us your resume, then type your entire resume into these boxes, then randomly 6 months later after you have done that to 100 different places you get a call to interview the next day on short notice, come in with a paper copy and looking clean and fresh, pass a drug test since you certainly wouldn't have dared smoke some weed while being poor or homeless, "Okay thanks we might call you but probably not because we are interviewing 60 people for this position", ect.
