Can you provide a link to any of those stories from before the election? I can't find anything about the bank account earlier than Oct 12th.

I don't see how that could have been "suppressed" if it only came out very recently.

> Homelessness is an American (West Coast liberal) problem.

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

Also, considering the deep-rooted socio-economic problems in the Appalachia region, I wouldn't claim that the root cause of this problem is a "West coast liberal" problem, unless you don't find families living in third-world conditions without any possibility of escape as not being a problem as they are out of sight.

Posting that on imgur.com has to be one of the most unintentionally ironic Web things I've seen.

That URL redirected me to one without the .png extension, which then proceeded to do a bunch of JS things and loading third-party resources, until about 5-10 seconds later I was presented with an empty page other than a "Log in with Google account?" overlay in the top right. :D

I wish I could share my screen recording, but even though I removed my cookies, it still somehow knew my account details.

Then, when I clicked your link a second time, it just loaded the image.

That's some next-level gaslighting.

I never suggested profit motive was good for public interest. Your argument in fact suggests that profit motive is never good for public interest without suggesting any good alternatives either. It’s easy to make an argument that everything should be produced locally… what happens when there are no trucks or truckers to ship it from one state to another ? Should each state be responsible to produce everything locally….should each county be then responsible to produce everything locally ….at what point does it stop ?
The point about “let’s just consume fewer goods” sounds pretty utopian to me. That’s not a plan it’s a hope and hope is not a plan.

A someone who enjoy the cuisine but isn’t deeply steeped in the methods, I would say it aims for balance in individual dishes in a way the some cuisines do not.

There are certainly other culinary traditions that look for balance but they may approach it across a multi course meal, and think of it in different terms. The balance of salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and fattiness in some Thai dishes is quite remarkable though.
In this telling, there's also a huge increase in supply since then- 1980s biker meth was relatively artisinal, but the current situation involves large and professional factories in Mexico.

Going on a tangent, one thing that surprises me is how much software has failed to take the place of humans as teachers.

I feel like the creator economy is going to be a rather short-lived event.

I don't imagine AI overlords will be appearing in the next century, but I do imagine primitive brains capable of simple tasks will appear and with it, replace whole swaths of the economy, including teaching positions.
Yeah, it's been pretty pathetic.

I thought apps would make things better or just wide adoption of web players but apparently not.. reminds me of the cablecard fiasco and having to buy new STBs or pay a monthly fee to rent one.. back to plex it is

Ah, yes. Fair enough. I agree that there are many other cases of legal but unconscionable lobbying that also need to be criminalized and prosecuted (but won't be).

Why do you think, that this policy is well intended? Honestly, a lot funds end in private pockets right away. Even recent homeless relocation to hotels benefited hotels mostly. They would be sitting idle otherwise, and even all the damage caused to the hotels is covered by the city. There is a whole economy around it in San Francisco and Los Angeles that many feed on. I think the intention is keep it going.

But there are plenty of other resources to help you get started. The target audience for that website is people already familiar with Astrophotography that want a software suite to control your equipment, i.e. that are ready to use N.I.N.A. And honestly, if you are just starting out in astrophotography you probably want to start simpler than the setup that you would need something like N.I.N.A. for. For example star trails, where you just need a camera that can take long exposures, and a tripod, images of the moon and the bright planets where you just need a single short exposure, or even just wide-angle images of the sky. Unless you are committed enough that you are willing to sink a lot of money into a new hobby.

I think the problem here is that on HN it's just a link with no context, so the site gets a lot of views from people that aren't really its intended audience.
I understand the differences betwen flu and Covid. My analogy was limited to the (widely accepted) routine of vaccination.

We don't yet know whether protection from hospitalization will wane, but waning protection from infection[1] is still a problem.

An infection can take time away from work or family, spread to others, and have long-term effects that we can't yet understand. Again, not unlike flu: we try to prevent infections with vaccines, not just hospitalizations.

Public health orgs have to weigh the benefit of boosters over the risk of lower supply where it's needed, but given unlimited vaccine supply, I would be surprised if we don't get a new Covid vaccine every year.

So beyond the investors, Theranos injured quite a lot of real people. They were actually doing blood tests, which largely did not work. With different regulation, some of this might have been averted (in particular, if the FDA was responsible for diagnostic labs, that might have helped).

Frankly, dodgy companies screw over the people unwise enough to invest in them every day. Theranos was unusual in that it also directly screwed over members of the public.

You can see here that the trend line for imports is consistent for the past 4 years: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/imports

So you could say that it’s the deficit (e.g. the big tax cut from 4 years ago) that precipitated to this.

My point is that “stimulus equals problems at the ports” is likely an overly simplistic answer.
Random story about Goodnight Moon:

My wife bought it for me too read to our kids. I didn't recognize it, but as soon as I started reading it, I could say the words from the next page before turning the page. It was a rather surreal feeling.

So I called up my mom, and she said it was my favorite book in preschool and that I read the cover off of it.
Double that, and you have the Andrew Yang version of UBI. People seem to overestimate the number of people willing to be poor. Everyone I know would choose to work even if they were getting an extra $6K to $12K per work. The people that would choose not to work and would rather spend time with their family need that kind of resource far more than me. (But, with something like UBI, I would expect to get it too!)
I was wondering how this shell would manage output backwards compatibility (lots of programs take advantage of the simple to parse Unix data), but it seems they even have constructs for that.

Nice detail.
> 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.

Seriously? Did you not read at all. I see this as a non-solution of the real problem. I see this as opportunity to be used as a cover story for public consent towards "hate cars" and "love bikes". I see this as creating a narrative which will serve well WEF agendas. And I know for a fact how media works and who is the real beneficiary.
Al this are facts, all of my view-point about WEF is well embraced even from leftist people with common sense.
The legitimate concerns are turned to conspiracy theory in a whim. This is the real danger.

As I mentioned this is very "useful" story, already running as an "example":
https://www.npr.org/2021/10/22/1047341052/barcelona-bicibus-...

And here you can read about "the conspiracy" angle.
https://theintercept.com/2020/12/08/great-reset-conspiracy/

Note: I don't agree with Klein's view on dangers of communism. She is on the spot for the logic behind - halfway solutions for a systemic crisis far beyond WEF agenda. And yes, I have a bias. I have lived in communistic regime and have suffered over "refusing the party line and established common good practices".

That is the root cause of my reaction. I see people trying to convince themselves that this "biking" thing is a solution of a problem. In actuality this creates one.

> No it's not a disingenuous take. I read the article. You have a politician who actually goes and talks to a group of homeless (...)

Sorry, it actually is.

You have a guy who decided to live in a tent for a week as a publicity stunt, and that is supposed to make him an insightful expert on the nature and causes of the problem, in total contrast with the observations and experience of every single person that ever did any serious work on homelessness?

The "goes and talks to a group of homeless" take sounds an awful lot like an attempt to go on the confirmation bias path, intended to fabricate a justification to continue to not address the root causes, than an honest and objective approach to understand issues.
Did you mean this https://youtu.be/WrJs0pZtKBU ?

It's a quite effortful dish to make. Ducks here are not easy to find and not fresh, usually frozen. After defrosting, they will have to properly roast it while in Thailand, you can source good roasted ducks from somewhere else. I also suspect that they use canned red curry instead of making it themselves.

If you have some expat Thai friends, they would sometimes make it. Befriend these people! Some good food would drop from time to time.
> Trump supposedly says shithole and it's a national emergency... Biden supposedly gets a cut from his son's business dealings in China/Russia/etc and it's nothing.

The WSJ investigated that story at the time and said that there wasn't sufficient evidence. If you have issues, you should blame the WSJ. https://www.wsj.com/articles/hunter-bidens-ex-business-partn...

Note the following quote "corporate records reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show no role for Joe Biden"

If the right leaning WSJ isn't willing to support a story like this, why do you think it's true?
I don't have a response, but I do want to +1 the posters extremely well-formulated question (and answer).
What specifically? I read that statement as saying that this isn’t accidental, not that Covid-19 literally doesn’t exist.

I disagree with that conspiracy theory, but you can hardly call it medical misinformation in my judgment.
Please make a follow up post. I’d love to learn from your experience.
>"Perhaps the best defense against epidemics like this one lies in choosing to look more closely and more sympathetically at the people in those hoods—to put a higher priority on community than we’ve done in recent years. America has made itself more vulnerable to scourges, even as those scourges grow more potent. But scourges are also an opportunity: They call on us to reexamine how we live. Until we begin to look out for the most vulnerable among us, there’s no reason to expect them to abate."

That's a great quote. When I worked at a harm reduction site (pre pandemic), I also noticed the meth users seemed to be deteriorating more rapidly than usual, and this was in Canada.

Whatever the solution to this problem is, I worry something has become broken in our societies. You can even see it in this thread, with people quoting a goddamned podcaster (Joe Rogan) and spreading a ton of misinformation about addiction (eg. disputing that addiction is strongly linked to socio-economic status).

Google scholar exists and this crowd is supposed to be educated. This quote from the article says it better than I could:

>"Crystal meth is in some ways a metaphor for our times—times of anomie and isolation, of paranoia and delusion, of communities coming apart. Meth is not responsible for these much wider social problems, of course. But the meth epidemic is symptomatic of them, and also contributes to them."
That's not a sound argument though. It applies no matter how much you spend. The "real cost" of solving homelessness could be much less, and that could just be a particularly expensive and ineffective solution. Structural, endemic problems likely require structural, foundational solutions.
More advocacy of censorship by the press while they decry it in countries like Russia and China.
>Again, I pose the question, what is a reasonable alternative?

Again, this inverts the burden of proof. There is no obligation to provide any alternative, and no obligation to defer to a consensus in the absence of one.

>Scientific consensus is the result of the majority of experts in a field using the scientific process to agree on the "least wrong" information possible given the data available at that time. If you claim not to see the bearing on this process, you're being dishonestly obtuse.

I see no evidence that this narrative is generally true, and it is a very weak argument for taking consensus as a metric of truthfulness.

>If you have a better way of obtaining "the truth", I would be very glad to learn about it.

One does not require a better way of obtaining the truth in order to avoid committing oneself to accepting unjustified claims. Again, such a requirement inverts the burden of proof.
The whole central claim that started this was the allegations that Joe Biden pressured Ukraine to fire the prosecutor investigating the company that was paying Hunter for his "services". If it's true that foreign interests were bribing the vice president of the USA though payments to his son in order to change American policy then that is indeed a staggering level of corruption. For comparison the president of South Korea was sentenced to 20 years in prison for a comparable scheme.
Wind, earthquakes, or accidents knocking the stacks over is a concern, I don't know how real it is though.

> Why is it then that housing supply is a major issue in San Francisco, but not in these other cities that are growing so much faster?

There's the actual rate of growth vs demand- and the demand for h I using in SF was quite high in the 2010s compared to other metros.
I thought so too, at least in EU? I remember social media influencers getting in hot water for not labeling sponsored content as such.
VS Code is not a replacement for an IDE. While I only know IntelliJ, I assume VS must be similar. In short, VS Code is a replacement for Notepad, and not for an IDE. It's not as well integrated, not as thought-out and capable. The only thing that saves it IMO is the remote server mode.
The frozen items are restocked daily in the afternoons so it would be a waste of time to reorganize unless they know there’s a shortage for a specific item. Usually they do if that’s the case.
I think you're spot-on here. Authoritarian-made realities seem to be the historical norm. Just look at the Roman Catholic Church at the height of its power. If anything, we were under a Dunning-Kruger effect before. We have more opportunity to realize now that truth is actually very difficult to pin down.
That wasn't the point as I read it. They were talking about performance. Zen 3 is a small, simple design compared to the braniac Fire Storm. There is little savings from ARM, Apple is simply using far more transistors to build a massive core.
A large number of homeless in San Francisco were previous SF residents.

When folks live paycheck to paycheck almost anything can lead to them becoming homeless.

That said, there are more then enough homes for everyone, in the form of vacant homes. https://sf.curbed.com/2019/12/3/20993251/san-francisco-bay-a...
It's also hilarious to act like there is one authorative version of a Chinese dish.

China is 1 billion people over a large geographic area that has culturally exchanged for hundreds and in some cases thousands of years; at this point, the same dish can have many regional variations in preparation. The mapo tofu or kung pao chicken you find in its homeland of Chongqing is going to be very different from the versions of the dish served to locals in Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou. In that sense, American preparations of the same dish are adjusted to local taste and ingredient availability.
Fauci's own agency, NIH threw him under the bus last week when they admitted he lied in front of Congress (under multiple occasions) about funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab.

I think anyone with a half of a braincell can understand he is 100% responsible for Covid.

Now this?

We all deserve to take a shovel to his head, after removing his vocal cords just like he did to these poor puppies.

FUCK FAUCI and if you support him I hope you get ran over by a car.
They don’t have proper sanitation or garbage services. There are basically no public restrooms in SF.
The vast majority are drug abusers that need money to pay for their addictions. They don’t have jobs, but they still get that money. How they get that money is the problem.
That's similar to "Science is true whether or not you believe in it", which is attributed to Neil deGrasse Tyson. Both are probably based on some far older remark.
Everything in my comment except the shared bank account was reported before the election, with much of the specific content being suppressed or outright banned from multiple social media networks as part of coordinated enforcement action. The New York Post, a centuries-old newspaper that broke the story, was suspended from Twitter for multiple weeks due specifically to this reporting. Twitter could be forgiven for acting according to its “hacked materials policy” meant to protect innocent doxing victims like Hunter Biden, except for the fact that just weeks earlier they featured tweets from the New York Times that published illegally obtained private tax documents of the president (who was also later banned from Twitter).

I’m skeptical of the argument that recent vindication of a suppressed story somehow justifies its original suppression.
I don't know your background, but if you're interested hacking on an open source, locally run RSS client, I built a reader that should be able to support this fairly easily.

A friend of mine last week had their Instagram "hacked" and the "hacker" was able to modify their email and phone number so now they have no way to even attempt recovery. There of course is no way to contact any human at Instagram. The account is now spamming crypto related spam to all followers. It would be immediately obvious to any human that this account was compromised.

Most interesting is that the Instagram help docs are not even accurate when followed. One specific example is that they mention in part "If you don’t receive a security code, tap I can’t access this email or phone number below Send Security Code, then follow the on-screen instructions." It turns out there is no text or mention of "I can't access this email or phone number" at all that shows up. The docs are just plain wrong.
If they don't want people to play their games, who am I to argue? The article taught me people actually need Nintendo's permission to host a tournament. They might get C&D'd otherwise. What an insane world we live in. I can't fathom why anyone would ever C&D an event involving their own game and its enthusiastic fans.

Intellectual property shouldn't even exist in the first place, let alone be used to extort $50k from fans who are basically advertising their game for free, making it popular and driving a lot of sales. They're the ones who owe Nintendo nothing, yet they remained loyal despite this mistreatment.
