I think 'we' (as in high-intelligence individual technical people) need to be more vocal on social media. Look at the effect that small vocal minorities have on politicians and the media...

The problem is that technical people are usually too busy working or raising a family to frequent those channels. Unemployed or childless activists however have plenty of time for their causes. The 'vocal minority'.

> I'm fully vaccinated but am not sold on getting a booster because I'm not in a high-risk group and understand the current science to indicate that the initial series I received continues to significantly reduce my risk of illness, hospitalization and death.

One thing that I think is getting lost in all of these discussions is that it's okay for there to be a range of comfort levels. But a range implies there are boundaries, somewhere.

I got a booster shot of Moderna a little over a month ago, by lying to the clinic and telling them it was actually my first dose. (This is why I'm on a throwaway account, btw.) I'm aware this was kind of risky, because third doses haven't been well studied in my age cohort. And I also got really ill for a day!

I wouldn't recommend that anyone else jump ahead of the FDA guidelines like this—but it was something I wanted to do. I'm being very bad about masking and social distancing right now, and I'm in close contact with a lot of children, so I really wanted to do something extra to protect them.

At the other end of the spectrum, I think it's totally okay for anyone who is vaccine-skeptical, for whatever reason, to take a wait and see approach. But there eventually comes a point when a majority of the public has actually gone ahead and been guinea pigs for you, and you're just needlessly endangering people.
This is mostly a BS article that picks up a few facts to come to a conclusion while ignoring other facts like the gentrification of a very small area that triggers a lot of those problems. San Francisco has a lot of problems but it seems the article was written with the conclusion then went out hunting for facts to match that conclusion.
The "overrun ICUs" thing is a canard, and to the extent it's true is mostly the fault of our having slashed the number of hospital beds over the past decades under the imperatives of for-profit healthcare. Prior to 2020 you can find all kinds of examples of hospitals being overwhelmed by bad flu outbreaks. It's been 20 months and hundreds of billions spent on pandemic response -- where is the added hospital capacity?

Not sure if this applies to you, but I also just can't take seriously anyone who professes great concern about ICU capacity while also supporting the mass termination of any nurses who won't take the vaccine.

The bootloader would still support SD, but the kernel would come up just fine without supporting it, as by the time the kernel is booting it's already in memory. You just wouldn't be able to mount any filesystems from that kernel, so you'd be stuck with whatever userland you packed into your initramfs
My admittedly layman understanding of 47 USC §1001 is that no actual harm needs to be demonstrated for it to be an instance of fraud:

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully—

(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact;

(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or

(3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry;

So if Tesla is knowingly taking pre-orders for FSD without being certain on when they could deliver it _and_ they don't make it clear that they don't know when or if FSD could be delivered, that would likely qualify as fraud.
I feel my company has had a greater number of departures this year than in past years. But I don’t know if it’s because a competitor is offering higher wages, or if I’m noticing a higher number because everyone decided to stay out last year.

It says quite clearly that Alec Baldwin and Joel Souza are following up with a second production together, filming a script written by Baldwin -- ironically about an accidental shooting -- financed by some other group and likely executed by others.

So the speculation that "it sounds like he may have just been an actor who was given a producing credit as partial payment for taking a lower salary" that I commented on is clearly not correct.

As to the "decisions", I'm sure he didn't sit down and sweat the operational details ("decisions"), where to get film, etc. But for decisions such as "who'll be the DP?", "we'll shoot in Santa Fe because it allows for non-union crew", or minimally chiming in on the production crisis and crew accommodations issue, are you seriously claiming Alec Baldwin was just hanging out chit chatting with the crew and was not involved at all? He's not some airhead pretty face, he's a business man as well and he is making a film with partners.
Exactly. Once you have market control it doesn't matter what people think, c.f. Comcast.
Sure, totally! But taking this vaccine lowers the risk measurably. If everyone takes the vaccine, the risk is even smaller! What is the downside?

I appear to hold an unusual in-between opinion on COVID restrictions, because I'm actually against continuing mask mandates. IMO, masks have a very clear downside: in terms of psychological well-being, the ability to see faces and reading expressions is actually incredibly important! So even if there's a public health benefit to universal masking, it's not worth the trade-off except in extremely exceptional circumstances.

But vaccines? Just get vaccinated!
> Sooner or later there won't be many unvaccinated left to spread the disease

Ah yes, their ranks might be thinned by up to 0.2% if they all catch COVID!

Part of the challenge is that virtually anyone can call themselves a coach. I can’t tell you how many “life coach” business cards there are on the boards in nice coffee shops and Whole Foods around me. How do you know that the coach is actually an expert in the subject AND a good teacher/coach to boot? If they’re so good, why are they coaching instead of doing and succeeding at it themselves? Obviously there are folks that were successful and are now retired and seemingly just want to pass their experience on, but I think those require some work to find. I do think there’s virtue in finding a mentor or coach but it can be challenging to do that. In the meantime finding a group of peers at the same level who are equally ambitious and willing to help each other - a mastermind group - can be a great substitute or stopgap until you can find such a coach or mentor.
I have some bad news for "housing advocates": More housing will never be the solution to the homeless problem. You want to see a lot of drug users and homeless people? You'll find them in areas of dense housing.

Secondly, there is no "housing shortage". You're just looking in the wrong place. That's like saying there is a shortage of air in outer space.
Agree on both. Thanks for help clarifying.
Yea, I skipped that part of your comment as meaningless. RO excludes vaccinations and prior infections by definition.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_reproduction_number

In epidemiology, the basic reproduction number, or basic reproductive number (sometimes called basic reproduction ratio or basic reproductive rate), denoted
R
0
R_{0} (pronounced R nought or R zero),[1] of an infection is the expected number of cases directly generated by one case in a population where all individuals are susceptible to infection.[2] The definition assumes that no other individuals are infected or immunized (naturally or through vaccination). Some definitions, such as that of the Australian Department of Health, add the absence of "any deliberate intervention in disease transmission".

I assume your concerned about transmission, but that’s not a constant when you include vaccinations reducing infection severity.
> with their well-intentioned policies they’ve reinforced what they most wanted to destroy: a society of the haves and have-nots.

This is what keeps me on Visual Studio. It's free for personal and open-source use, so I use it at home.

Since I know it and am familiar with it, I make my employer pay for a commercial license at work. In the grand scheme of things, it is not that expensive in a commercial setting.

VS Code is great, but I do not think it is a comprehensive replacement for Visual Studio proper when doing full stack .NET development.
> There's indisputable evidence that the vaccination is impacting R

> Ofcourse we can't tell anything with certainty in this domain

Which one is it?

I'm sorry - there are issues with nearly all the links and data you've provided, but I don't have the time to go through them with you.

I agree with you that the vaccine is very likely impacting R. I don't agree that it is enough to matter yet - we could vaccinate everyone and covid would still spread. The vaccines will keep people from dying. Any more benefit than that is still unclear.
Much better when the have-nots are out of sight
San Diego does have quite a lot of homeless, but it isn't as concentrated geographically.

I'd argue that part of the issue with San Francisco is the concentration of the homeless into a small area. You don't see homeless in Atherton, for example. The wealthy enclaves in the Bay Area have zero problem with pushing the homeless out of their areas into somewhere else. In the Bay Area, there aren't that many "somewhere else" left so the ones that remain get overloaded.
Spain has one of the lowest fertility rates in Europe, 1.24 children per woman:

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.TFRT.IN?location...

Small apartments, no cars, high taxes to fund a generous welfare and pension system just results in society eating itself.

We should be looking at what's going on in Spain generally as a failure. Without cars, these cities are giant glorified dormitories.

This bike thing is cute, but the reality is that several sections of the city will be shut down for 10s of minutes during morning peak hour, and the chance of a kid getting lost is fairly high. Several kids just walking together in a dedicated bike lane would be easier to control.

I intentionally claimed "faster travel times", not more capacity for people. Low to mid density cities in the US have fast travel times for drivers. They are a significantly better option in terms of travel time than even the best public transit in the world, simply because you are going directly from point to point, at relatively high speed, with no stops, no wait times, and so on. The time savings alone are a big benefit but it also means you can live to fit your own schedule (not needing to plan too much), transport cargo/other people at will, use that car to go to places away from what public transit covers, etc.

Awesome. Thanks for the fast response! I love your work and am looking forward to what else you can disrupt in the future from an open computing and repairability perspective (smartphones please!).
Actually they did not. They've tried that line but we saw they were saying the exact opposite just recently. They could not link wikileaks to russia so were throwing the idea around of assassinating Assange instead. While declaring other journalists non-journalists if they didn't just reproduce this kind of nonsense propaganda. Recall Assange had just released and commented on the Afghanistan papers showing what a debacle that war was, about which, 10 years later and 20 after it started we cannot really have any serious doubt.

It's insane! I would not have believed any of this a decade ago and yet here we are.

Flat out false.

> He blames San Francisco’s woes on a culture of permissive lawlessness and a mistaken view of what constitutes moral policymaking.

A frequent critique of those that want to solve the homeless problem by sending in the police to crack heads and send everyone to prison. The main goal here of course being to ensure that the homeless "go away" somewhere out of view.

In reality most of the "crimes" that people are wringing their hands about are things like petty theft, drug use (a medical issue) and loitering which are so incredibly and hilariously minor that any judge will laugh in your face at the notion of sending one to prison for such abuses as this would obviously be a cruel and unusual punishment and not at all reasonable. The legal system will never send such offenders to prison.

It never occurs to those venturing mass imprisonment of the homeless that um, simply building housing for the homeless is a dramatically more affordable solution.

Therein lies the answer to the posed question:

> How can a place brimming with resources and good intentions fail so flagrantly to meet the basic needs of the population?

Despite our incredible wealth we simply do not provide in any way reasonable incomes and housing for those that are (for many reasons) unable to work, and so of course the problem festers. Why would we expect any change to magically happen?

In my home town of Vancouver BC, which has very similar chronic homelessness problems as SF, our minimum income assistance is $935 a month. Of this sum, the shelter allowance is $375. There is of course virtually nowhere in Vancouver where one can rent anything for $375 a month, thus ensuring systemic, state sponsored homelessness, poverty and misery and people camping outside in parks.

Why is there such poverty and homelessness? Well with $375 a month for housing good grief why wouldn't there be?
There are a lot of things that China does that other countries don't do, some of these things are bad, and personally I wouldn't want them to be implemented where I live (social credit score, censorship etc.). I don't see how engaging in a race to the bottom with China here is a particularly useful line of thought.
Everybody ignores small risks, and people are also remarkably inconsistent in what is a small risk, depending on context and cultural assumptions.

Is drinking alcohol an acceptable risk? Drinking and driving? Drinking and boating? Riding a motorcycle? Riding a bicycle? Skydiving? Riding in a small plane? Not getting a yearly flu shot? Going for a walk in the woods where Lyme disease is endemic? Drinking unpasteurized juice or milk? Eating raw eggs? Raw fish? Not wearing a seatbelt?

As far as vaccines go, I was happy to get mine when I was allowed to. I wouldn't have liked to be the first, but I wasn't permitted to, and I didn't want to look stupid by getting ill before being vaccinated, so it worked out fine.

But if it becomes a thing that everybody is encouraged to get boosters, the fact that I went right out and got the vaccine in the first place doesn't mean I'm necessarily going to automatically get another shot.

If there is another big wave, if there is another variant, if half the country has gotten a booster, maybe then. But I'm not taking people seriously who egregiously exaggerate their certainty about uncertain things.

I got vaccinated because I was comfortable with the information I had on the risks and benefits, not because I consider it unreasonable to question any recommended medical treatment.
Chai tea would also have a lot on cinnamon in it. I think it's the main spice.
Sidenote... I think this might be the first time I've personally heard "There's an app for that" to essentially indicate "this is a solved problem" - even if in this case it does kind of mean "software exists to solve this problem" in a literal sense.
We're only a decade or so out from when "there's an app for that" represented this cool new novel idea that you could install an app on your fancy new smartphone to do something useful.
Now it's trivial and commonplace but I could see this slogan sticking around in our vernacular outside of its original context kinda like the save icon. Neat.
it's not an article. It's a book review.
The data does not support GP's assertion:

70% from San Francisco

22% from rest of California

8% from out of state

Also, the data disagrees with the general sentiment of "Mental Health" issues amongst Homeless people. Only 5% were homeless because of mental health problems. Most of them, almost a quarter are homeless because they lost their job.

Basically, many things in this report goes against the general opinion of people of the Bay Area. Misinformed public leads to misinformed decision making and policies.

Responding to GP:

> I don't think the mess in San Francisco is entirely due to local policies. I think the nation as a whole needs substantially more affordable housing.

This is wrong. It is precisely due to the policies of SF city. The sooner people realize and accept the faults of San Francisco city's governance, the better it will be for the city. Same lessons can be applied to Portland (used to be ranked 3rd in the nation according to Oregonian, now it is ranked a whopping 66th out of 80), Seattle, and Los Angeles.

To OP - thank you for the link, it's illuminating.
> You'll find them in areas of dense housing.

Correlation is not causation. Perhaps homelessness is discouraged in low-density areas. Try putting up a tent up in front of nice homes in a single family neighborhood and the cops will quickly tell the camper to move on. But setting up camp under a downtown highway? One can probably last at least a few weeks before public works sweeps out the camp.
At the point he started wearing masks, there was absolutely no significant knowledge of how SARS-CoV2 spread. In fact, I saw a well-constructed paper a few folks were passing around in February noting that surgical masks were no less effective at protecting health care workers in actual clinical settings than N95s during recent respiratory disease outbreaks. We now know that such is not true for this one, but to claim that your sole ability to power through the haters and champion the truth was the reason you took that path, rather than just having taken a bet, is bizarre.
Elsewhere someone mentioned it’s cheaper to build a new container in China than to ship and empty one over from the US. Even if you are already sending the boat.

This sort of implies that it’s incredibly cheap to make the container, and/or it’s expensive to add that weight to the ship, and/or our ports are incredibly slow at loading empty containers onto ships.
That sounds like an unpleasant experience. (And honestly, you'd probably be happy if everyone here just responded with sympathy for your unpleasant experience.)

But if you really sincerely want to explore this, then you should at least consider the other scenario: that you go back and buy flowers, and they're taken aback. They know they were rude to you, and they also know that you came back and gave them a second chance anyways. Theoretically, that could also be a humbling experience for them that also teaches them a lesson...

I just think about that old saying that everyone you meet is in the middle of fighting a battle. (Off the top of my head: someone they know may have just died. Or they may know that their business is doomed, and this is their last week before they have to pack up...) Er, this is assuming that the person selling the flowers is the same person who owns the business.

Another option is sort of the "anger management" technique. You go back later, at a nice neutral time when you're in a good place and hopefully they are too, and you try to have a friendly, non-confrontational conversation about it. "Hey, I wanted to talk to you. Not jumping on you, but I was in here the other day and you seemed really upset with me. Maybe we could talk about it a little...?"

But I guess the real truth is, this situation will probably take care of itself. I just remember two different people at a company where I worked who started being snippy to people out of the blue -- and it turns out they were in the midst of leaving the company. People tend to be rude when they're mentally already halfway out the door (so they know that it doesn't matter)...
Going by this twitter poster's logic, the reason OP started seeing ads for traveling to Tokyo, is because the ad networks saw OP and his friend had a long conversation, and that OP and his friend had both previously traveled to Tokyo previously, and was betting on that subject coming up in conversation, triggering nostalgia, and figured that it might be able to convince one of these guys to buy a ticket based off of that :D
