I need to write that I was slightly mistaken, CA houses half of the “unsheltered” in the United States and only a quarter of the “homeless.” The unsheltered are highly visible and make up 70% of the total homeless in CA, the highest rate in the nation.

Maybe this depends on location, I am in Texas and much of the year jeans will stink after wearing 2 times, also college students walk a lot. Walking several miles in 100 degree heat will make changing them necessary.
I'd like to see evidence for a lot of these claims that come from reliable sources cause I don't think the majority of them are true.

> - anyone who has claimed election interference on the 2020 election has been threatened with lawsuits, lost jobs, etc

I feel this is an especially interesting claim because the only people i've seen get hit with law suits for this have continually defamed specific companies and not just someone shouting in the street that it was fraudulent.
> You don't know my company and you've ascribed practices to my company that we don't practice to create a straw man.

You've asked if I worked at small-to-medium company in the EU. I told you I did. My experiences are significantly different from yours. This only tells me that there's definitely something wrong you're doing, and blaming it on the law. Since you're not giving any details, it's pure speculation at this point.

> Whose actual fault is this?

I think no one could even predict the scale of the issue. No one could imagine that:

- even well-to-do commercial companies would include literally hundreds of trackers on their web pages

- almost literally everyone would decide to break the law instead of, you know, stopping wholesale data consumption

The ad industry played a nice trick: now everyone believes the EU with its GDPR is the bad guy, and not the motherf@ers who siphon your data to 500 advertisers on every page.

As for the teeth, GDPR can fine you for a significant chunk of your global turnover. So yes, it has teeth.

> Why are you continuing to state things as fact you don't have a clue of?

Are you the only one allowed to state things?
With no actual people or companies named, arrested, or indicted. It's all just fluff on an asset forfeiture case.

Wow.

The law against breaking into cars is often called a vehicle tampering law, but even when it's labelled an anti-burglary law, there is a much stronger connection between that act and burglary, than between the act of evading surveillance controls and money laundering.

The latter is tantamount to the argument that "you wouldn't worry about surveillance if you had nothing to hide". That is, equating the desire for privacy with the intent to commit crime. My 'anti-terrorist coordination law' analogy applies.
It's only surprising in that they have, to this point, largely shrugged off criticism. Jenn Psaki, for example, has been extremely dismissive of any criticism whatsoever. Now, I think they are realizing that the (white)house is on fire, and it appears that they feel like they have to respond and cannot dismiss/gaslight their way out of it.
Instead of shipping hydrocarbon fuel, they will have to ship solar/wind/geothermal power plants, or some other dense source of energy such as nuclear reactors.
When I notice this experience, it's usually because it's something I don't normally talk about. I don't believe that Facebook knows so much (about me and the people around me) that it knows about unlikely conversations I've just had based on (say) a conversation on a radio station I randomly heard while skimming through channels.

I'm willing to believe it's a coincidence combined with my brain happening to bring it to my attention; but I'd believe they're hacking my microphone before I'd believe in clairvoyance.

The economy of California is pretty good vs other states.

People from all over the USA travel to places like California for better economic opportunities.

Misfortunes happen and people become homeless.

Thus you end up with people from "out of state" that are homeless.
I listened to part of the podcast and if I remember correctly his proposed solution is to offer treatment and housing, but it you don’t follow that road: prison.

No idea if that’s a good idea, but living in SF I can definitely say that whatever the city, or even the US as a country, has been doing until now has been useless.

Disclaimer: I used to live in Chicago, and while not as bad as sf, the homeless situation was the worst I had seen in my life at that time. So that sorts of tells me that this might be a national issue, not just an sf issue although it is definitely much more noticable in SF.

> Nazis keep fighting with violence recently

Where? And if so, what relevance does that have to those that refrain from violence? If the United States government sanctions an attack by its forces does that make all United States citizens liable for retaliation? If some Muslims commit an act of terror does this mean that all Muslims must be held accountable for those acts?

Or do we, quite rightly, separate out those who commit violent acts from those who don't?

I think you'd be pretty hard pressed to argue that the Hunter Biden stories weren't suppressed until after the election. Those stories and corresponding evidence were around before the election. They were completely buried wherever possible, and dismissed as conspiracy theories by the mainstream media when they couldn't bury them. It was only after the election that they were forced to admit that the Hunter Biden stories were factual.

It didn't. Music companies effectively killed it because music visualization is a combination of derivative work and performance. So, copyright, licensing etc.

Lol, what facts and logic? Your original comment contains none of these, just your own personal assertions.

literally listen to yourself, this article was originally about children cycling to school, now you are connecting this to the WEF conspiracy.

And yes it is a conspiracy, it's the same as all others where people make these vague and imprecise statements, like you did in your original comment, then take some actual facts and try to weave it all together into something malicious. Actually, this is literally what you are doing right now by taking this story literally about children cycling and weaving it into the whole WEF conspiracy.

Frances Haugen: ‘I never wanted to be a whistleblower. But lives were in danger’
I have never seen a company operate at scale the way you're suggesting. Making business decisions is not engineering core competency.

The most common reporting line I've seen (working at tech companies that you would know and recognize immediately) is director -> { sdm, pm-t } where the director is typically promoted from one of those roles. There is an insulation layer between product and engineering, and as levels progress the line between pm-t and sdm blurs significantly.

VJ's tend to use multiple different apps and connect them using syphon (Mac) or spout (windows) to share textures. I've seen resolume (clip heavy content) and touchdesigner (node based "visual IDE" ) mentioned. Those are all big in the space and offer something unique.

I wanted to add https://www.synesthesia.live to that list. It has a ton of audio reactive content and the best audio reactivity in the space.

But the key really is in using other apps + syphon/spout to combine all the textures into unique content. Then manipulating that in something like touch designer.

Full disclosure: I'm one of the creators of synesthesia.live but use multiple apps, Touch Designer everyday.

You haven't steel manned anything - which part was the steel man? Was it this?

> Nazis are only willing to fight without violence (generally) now because they currently aren’t able to use violence without retaliation.

So what? That doesn't affect my argument in the slightest (as I've already pointed out[1]). I won't be taking up your offer of taking the strongest interpretation of my argument, thanks, because you're either creating a straw man (how ironic) or you've misunderstood the argument presented.

Further, I would suggest that if someone were really steel manning an argument they wouldn't be telling others about it, they'd have continued to respond to the challenges put to them. I don't see such a continuance. What could you be waiting for?

Author and journalist Sam Quinones hypotesizes in his book, The Least of Us, that a significant part of the increase in homelessness is due to a change in methamphetamine quality.

Prior to about 2010, meth was manufactured in Mexico using high quality precursors. The government cracked down on imports, and cartels started using a much more dirty P2P manufacturing methods, which is anecdotally associated with vastly higher levels of disruptive psychosis.

He talked about it in an episode of Econ Talk.

This article is insane. It basically claims that

1. In 2018 our phones were constantly snitching on our conversations

2. The author verified this experimentally

3. No one can prove it because "it's all encrypted" (since, as we all know, "encryption" makes all forensics impossible)

4. "It's not a big deal" because "it's just an extension of television advertising".

With journalists like these, who needs disinformation? They'll spontaneously fabricate a better story than you could possibly feed them, just to get attention.
The essay is in general pretty good and I enjoyed the style of it. It swerved way too far into Christianity for me though. I did enjoy the philosophical questions and takes after managing to swallow the religious rhetoric.

Having precognition-like situations has happened to a lot of people and I'll disagree with other commenters that this makes them close to schizophrenia. That's a strange thing to say IMO; most people I ever talked with had weird dreams with very specific details which they proceeded to see/hear years later randomly, long after they forgot the dream.

Is most of humanity suffering from schizophrenia then? Or maybe time as we have postulated it does not exist indeed? Who knows.

I wish that was 100% true. There's a whole generation of kids out there who never even played with material objects save for smartphones / tablets. I dread what's ahead of them after they grow up. But maybe I am a pessimist here; humans have the unique ability to "wing it" whenever push comes to shove. That's something I admire in the human race.

Padthai was newly developed in the past century as an internationalized quick dish and to unite people from different cultures: Chinese, Laotian, Indian, etc.

I did hear that the government in early 2000s did try to promote Thai cultures, but I highly doubt it's still being continued as it was ousted in 2006 while many people from the cabinet were branded as evils/enemies.

About the ingredients, that's so true. One notably example is most if not all Thai basil dishes aren't actually cooked with Thai basil leaves; they're cooked with holy basil leaves (in Thai, Thai basil leaves aren't even called basil). Holy basil leaves are in fact considered a rare item to be found in the states as most Asian markets don't carry them. Some Thai restaurants would sell them at a really high price like $8 for what you would buy $1 Thai basil leaves at an Asian market.

As for restaurants, it's kind of a trend, sometimes a social status, for a person to have graduated in a developed country. While studying, they usually work at these Thai restaurants to earn pocket money and also socialize with the local Thai community. I would attribute the growth of Thai restaurants in the US to the fact that these students find it easier to earn much more money than having to work in the field they have studied for their whole life, or to a Thai housewife who finds a business opportunity - the same food they cook in Thailand can be sold for 6+ times more in the US (a papaya salad is sold at around $1 and the companion sticky rice is around 30 cents). Most dishes sold here are also considered easy dishes, meaning can be cooked quickly or without much effort. A larb dish is a quicky, but compare that to layered pandan desert... that takes hours while sold for 50 cents on the street in Bangkok.

A tip from me, if you want cheap authentic Thai food, go to your local Thai temple on the weekend. The cooks usually bring their fresh cooked Thai food as offerings to the monks at lunch time. It's kinda Thai thing. Once the monks take parts of the offerings, the remaining food will be shared. You're expected to donate or participate during the prayer, but after that, we're talking about good Thai buffet here lol. $10 or $15 is already considered a lot for donation. If you're new, just tell you're interested in the rituals. Most of them are friendly and will try to guide you all the way through. You'll likely be fed as they want you to try their home dish.

The signs of a good coach will vary from capacity to capacity but some people do want to teach and have a knack for it, and they enjoy it more than being in the field. You see this a lot with tennis coaching, where former players stay in the game by becoming coaches(physical limitations/age obv. contribute here) but it isn’t so far fetched that someone in business/non-athletics would embark on a similar path.

>I'd like to see evidence for a lot of these claims that come from reliable sources cause I don't think the majority of them are true.

This is effectively a disingenuous argument when the evidence clearly suggests that so called "reliable sources" are colluding to suppress content that is inconvenient for their political leanings.

Incidentally it also ensures that all of wikipedia leans left, since any outlets which run counter to leftist politics are rejected as unreliable by definition. It's a dishonest, preemptive dismissal of any alternative perspective and it is absolutely toxic to national discourse. In practice you are relying on a circular argument, wherein the self proclaimed arbiters of truth have also defined themselves, and only themselves, as "reliable sources".

There's no technical reason they can't, but practically, a central, easily discernible destination appeals to those looking to monetize their content.
