They don't give out free heroin in SF. There are needle exchange programs, and a small number of safe usage sites. Also, you're assuming most of the addicts are heroin addicts. Quite a few of them are meth addicts, who are harder to reach, partially because the type of meth they're getting causes severe psychosis.

Giving meth addicts forms of meth that are produced more cleanly would reduce the level of psychosis and would further reduce the price of meth to a point where it may not be profitable to produce (it's already cheap to the point where it's nearly unprofitable - it requires massive volume).

Giving addicts access to clean drugs provides you an opportunity to help them, a place to keep them away from others while they're using, a way to ensure they don't die while using, reduces funding to organized crime, and removes their need to commit crimes to fund their habits.

You may see it as treating them poorly, but ultimately, you're doing them and the rest of society a benefit.

I'd flip that around: there's a huge undersupply of medicine graduates, because the medical establishment very deliberately limits the number of students who are accepted. And while that does ensure that it's very easy for a doctor to find work, there are huge costs - huge competition for admissions, excessive working hours (with correspondingly high rates of burnout and suicide), routine interpersonal toxicity, spiralling prices for medical care that damage the rest of society.
USCC offloaded a bunch of spectrum and customers to Sprint awhile back but they're still independent.

Funny enough, US Cellular divested their Chicago holdings back in 2012 to Sprint but never moved their HQ. None of their HQ employees have cell service through them.

You definitely do. Take a look at this Tankie community on Lemmygrad [1]. You'll also find a lot of denial about Uigyuhr genocide on behalf of China and a lot of revisionism about the atrocities of both the Soviet Union's military interventions and its pogroms.

They filed for bankruptcy because they couldn't make their lease payments. That doesn't mean they were not viable and needed to liquidate everything, it just means they couldn't pay on time and needed (or wanted) some more time to arrange things. Filing chapter 11 gives you some more time to make payments and come up with a plan to return to operations and pay back debt. Shareholders and creditors agreed to the plan, and it's back to business (well, business continues during Chapter 11 anyway).

I didn't see any details on the purchase deal, but maybe they'll come out later. There's probably provisions to change the amounts, and certainly these vehicles will be financed in some form, whether that's Tesla financing or otherwise.
Not OP, but I think it can be done. You will have to seed the place with some of the best commenters and very slowly let in new folks to avoid the problem Slate Star Codex mentioned. You will also have to moderate heavily, more so than you did before.

I think moderation, by a human being, is key. HN wouldn't be HN if it didn't have Dang.

Dopesick is a good show on Hulu on this subject right now.
In the US, it is common to carry renter's insurance. It covers liability you as a renter might have for damages to the landlord's property such as water, fire, or other kinds of damage. It also usually covers your belongings as well. That coverage usually applies to your belongings regardless of where they are and covers things like theft. Bike get stolen from a bike rack? Backpack get stolen from a car? Usually covered, with deductibles, of course.

A lot of people I know who carry renter's insurance were unaware it covered their stuff like that. YMMV on what is and is not covered though.

A bug that doesn’t exist on x86: Exploiting an ARM-only race condition
As a Swiss person who spent a few years in the 90s going to primary school on Langstrasse, watching junkies shoot up, and having to be careful in city parks to not step on the mountains of used needles… that is about the WORST idea I have ever heard.

The Swiss experiment in the 80s and 90s was a complete disaster, and it wasn't until the 2010s that that part of Zurich was finally cleaned up. It attracted the worst junkies from all around Europe, it created a crime wave in a country that was crime-free. It didn't work, either, it just led to more addiction, death, and despair.

Jaywalking isn’t super black and white, though.

Someone jaywalking at night directly in front of a car is not the same as someone jaywalking in an empty town and getting hit by a speeding drunk driver.

It also involves another party causing the death.

The two seem extremely unrelated.

Edit: that said I do agree in most cases drug addiction is self-inflicted and a personal responsibility issue. Unfortunately it has societal externalities.
Domesticated cats live, on average, twice as long as wild cats.
You describing "normal case" - when there is harm to poor pets or even (only sometimes) humans there is natural need for action. And probably it is most usual case.

But we living in modern or /post+/ modern times. When there is knowledge about natural reactions then someone can do meta-action - abuse knowledge for some purpose. Like ad-business do all the time. Like politicans do. Or like seduction manuals describe. Heck, what sects do, there is even term "conventional brainwashing" !

And that "fake" activism have scale too - from personal to goverment and intelligence services doings.

So with humans knowledge and intelligence progression everyone should be caution for "mixed signals". Or just common scams like "Nigerian prince want your help" or "grandson in troubles".

Or "Green Party care for ecology" - actually brings anarchy to your country and such "activists" just look for easy living from "donations". Or even actively supporting some businesses, like described in that sub-thread...

But yes, there was a better times when captured soldiers give a word that they do not escape and they hold to it. Sometimes even they was allowed to keep theirs saber while being captured. But that natural honesty ended with communism in Russia and spreaded almost everywhere else.

Also there is strange following of ways of looser that as idol had other murderous idol (looser too), Machiavelli...

Edit:

And here are my gripes with psychology - useless like reading/writing before common education. People fall to sects where there are well know mechanism how they work and psychologians are straight guilty of neglecting to protect very often most volnerable parts of our societes, like kids. Big words but psychology basics should be learned in basic schools, IMO. Sadly psychologians are too busy with pushing bullshit on all fronts... Or making money from wasting time on listening or straight "improving" sport performances... Or deeppening movie scenarios.

O, btw: you hear about that "Maslow Pyramid" ? Someone even wrote how to apply it to software projects ! Looks damn usefull to explain eg. how poor peoples behave and how to help or self-help in such situations. But you know what ? I talked once to psychologian about Maslow pyramid and imagine my surprise when she look strangely on me and say: but, but modular programming is outdated ! Yep, exactly like this just insert Maslow Pyramid there... And modularity comes from 60's, predates very outdated "structural programming"... And such is psychologians lag in helping others.
1. Instancing doesn't reduce the complexity of rendering a scene in terms of light transport, it only reduces the memory storage and Accel structure complexity.

Actually, a forest with occluding foliage geometry is a quite difficult light transport situation: it's very difficult for next event estimation to work efficiently, so therefore most of the lighting is indirect and therefore is quite noisy, as it's difficult to find the environment / IBL light for the sun.

Portal guiding and NEE guiding can help a bit, but it can still be quite slow.
I work with youth that are addicted to heroin, meth, alcohol. There isn’t one who hasn’t witnessed or been subject to trauma, violence or substance abuse in their childhood. Compassion comes from understanding that the majority of addicts were born into a family they did not choose. These are children who weren’t loved or fed or clothed adequately, who had dangerous people move in and out of their lives without safety or stability, who witnessed people using intravenous drugs, fighting, and having sex. Unfortunately more often than not they’re more than just witnesses.
Well yeah, isn't that what the GP was saying? Palmer had the initial idea and cobbled together a very basic proof-of-concept, Carmack then did the heavy lifting.

How to use Apple One to bundle all your Apple subscriptions together
The most harmful forms of drug use (other than alcohol) are not due to someone trying out a drug at a party just for fun, but being addicted to drugs legally prescribed by their doctor for pain due to injury or illness:

But I guess it's just one's personal choice, yeah?
Pretty common on the west coast to hear about people taking suboxone to quell their heroin addiction but doing meth now to get high because its so cheap and available in this part of the country due to the industrialized processes in mexico that came online over the past 10 years.
Yes! I've been wondering what was up with that since forever! Weird that they say the power adapter doesn't have a ground pin though because the one of my 2019 MBP does in Switzerland.
Consider what a lot of people are getting here through — prescriptions. Consider a Grandmother who had hip surgery. She was given opiates as pain killers. She was still in massive pain, and kept taking the pain killers. She became dependent. Is the addiction personal choice? Where is the lack of personal responsibility there?

Another: someone with anxiety is prescribed Valium. Over time, it starts to work less well. They go to a doctor, who ups the dose a bit. Repeat, again and again. At no point was the patient ever not prescribed the dose, but addiction happened nonetheless. And when their insurance stops (say, after losing their job), then they need to keep up, and get Valium any way they can.

These are not uncommon. At all. Addiction from other means is typically a result of mental health: someone is desperately trying to fix something, which leads to drinking, which leads… The same is true for any other drug. If you actually interact with addicts, it is very very obvious. There is a reason that AA is the way it is. I really recommend going to a meeting, just to visit. It will absolutely change your mind, if you are open to it.

But there was no intended support for Linux, he's 15... like he finds it fun to build things, and I'm doing the best I can to limit the tedious "edge cases" so he stays motivated to be a dev later in life.

Ludicrously difficult. I thought there would be a library for it or something.

Right, because bringing it back empty means the car is out of commission for ~12h.

The last three times I've rented a car it's been turned and burned and I've had to wait a few minutes for a clean/wash to be complete from the last renter.
Jaywalking was instituted as a crime after lobbying by car companies in order to shift the legal liability and moral culpability for pedestrian accidents away from drivers and onto the ordinary people going about their business who were being killed by cars.

Your viewpoint with regards to jaywalking is the successful outcome of a propaganda campaign first instituted by people who have probably been dead now for nearly one hundred years.
They don't need 4bn, and it's very normal for them to enter some big long-term contracts for more cars, and the upfront and first-year spending for this won't get anywhere near 1.65bn. So no, not fishy.

what do they provide in 2022 that is worth ~10-20k?
If certain negative outcomes can be prevented or reduced, then whether or not someone chose to jaywalk or not made no difference.

Society does not get to wash their hands off their problems because of the excuse of "free will", because human brains are like any other systems. They can be studied, fixed, nfluenced or modified. It may be difficult, even seemly insurmountable given our limited mastery, but in theory it can be done.

Also, jaywalking is an example you don't want to use. Jaywalking is dangerous because engineers designed roads to be dangerous and unfriendly to pedestrians and fast and easy for cars. Again, traffic are just systems like any other, much like human brains that interact with it.

So we have a choice. We can use "free will" as an excuse to not fix or do anything at all, or try to steer society toward a beneficial outcome for all of us.
Depending on what trees are grown, and the specific ecology and geology, it can and does. However this typically occurs over several generations of planting, each of which are 2--4, or more, human generations.

James C. Scott's Seeing Like a State opens with a description of how "rationalised" scientific forestry in Germany lead to a precipitous decline in the health of the soil and ultimately yields of timber, but over the course of 150--200 years. He's largely citing Richard Plochmann, Forestry in the Federal Republic of Germany (1968), and Chris Maser, The Redesigned Forest (1988).
I didn't mean to imply that instancing would reduce the light transport costs, but rather just reduce the overall render time cost. E.g it's complex in a way that is great for benchmarking things, but not necessarily in a way to be representative of production scenes in a feature film.
Yeah this is not really going to be a problem. Cars spend a lot of time waiting, so rows of 120V outlets will do plenty. Level 2 chargers can keep busy cars topped up. They could have superchargers for fast turnaround, but as a renter I frankly don’t really care. If there’s a supercharger near the airport (and, newsflash, there is) then all I really need is to take the car and return it at half charge or better. Having it be fully charged at pickup is nice, but not necessary.
How on earth did I miss this. It overlaps all my hobbies AND everything I do for work. Thanks for posting that.

Their lots really aren't "always full of cars". A lot of rental companies, especially franchises, have sold a lot of their cars due to reduced demand and insane used car prices.

I had open heart surgery in the US and the doctors refused to give me opiates to take home in the few days after. They gave me opiates while I was in the hospital, quite generously, which was for four or five days, but they would not let me take any home. I even asked for just five pills in case the pain was unbearable (they literally had just broke my ribs and sternum and sawed my chest open).

I don’t respond much to opiates anyways, but I still find it completely ridiculous.

I think that humans (all of us) are significantly less rational than we like to believe. We all make bad decisions and act irrationally from time to time.

For people with resources, good support networks, etc. the occasional screw will (hopefully) be something easy to recover from. But for someone without those things it can be the start of a long downward spiral of compounding problems.

Everyone is responsible for their bad choices but not everyone suffers the same consequences from them.
Mao's government compelled addicts into rehab and summarily executed drug dealers [0][1]. Drug trafficking is still a capital crime in the PRC. In 2017, 13 traffickers were sentenced to death at a public trial in front of 10,000 spectators [2].

What you experienced is obviously the pendulum swinging too far (in the right direction). Then again, it should just be accepted that major surgery will always involve some discomfort.

There's a big distance between "5 days worth of low dose Tramadol" (+ max dose of Paracetamol) and "2 months worth of Oxycodone". It's really not a hard problem to solve for the medical establishment.
I am sure Hertz can afford a 50KW charger at their locations => 1-2h for full charge.

I'd argue that in a lawless country people have no faith in the brands either. Look at the fake Apple stores in China, or at parents importing identically-branded baby formula from abroad because they (justifiably) didn't trust the locally produced version.

"30 minutes to 80%" assumes every Hertz dealership is going to have multiple latest-gen superchargers. I think that's ... optimistic. Especially for franchise operations, some of which are quite run down.

Other than that, you're going to have multiple hours of downtime where that car is not making you money.

The cost of gas isn't $7.50/ga either, especially for a corporate account the size of Hertz. Doesn't mean they won't charge you that, though.
My MBP 16" used to be so throttled sometimes that Google Meet would freeze up and disconnect me when it was the only thing I had open. This was after I tried cleaning the fans out by blowing some compressed air in the vents.

Hertz has probably done the math on this.
