I live in SF and while I don't spent a lot of time in Atherton, but homeless is most definitely visible even in the wealthy enclaves. Even before covid there was a small but visible homeless population in downtown Palo Alto (univ ave) and more recently there are tents on the sidewalk in Cupertino just down the street from Apple's spaceship campus. I think it must have become less acceptable to "move them along" during COVID.
This is the only correct answer here.

I’d recommend that he just say “feedback” and skip the adjective.
What's scarier, that you saw an ad regarding very personal details of your life because your phone was listening, or even though your phone wasn't listening?

People see this happen and reach for an explanation they understand, "my phone must have been eavesdropping!" The truth is these ad and data companies know this about you without your phone having to listen.

To twist a quote from the Matrix: "So you're saying my phone listens to me? No, I'm saying these companies have such wide insights into your personal life and information that they don't have to listen."

Are you talking about having some global store that you're calling `set()` and `get()` against?

If yes, the reason you can't just do that is because if that is done naively then components using `get()` won't know that they need to re-render when a `set()` is called somewhere else.

Not done naively and you do have global stores built for this, like Redux or MobX, which handle this gracefully and (at this point) use hooks under the hood and in the dev-facing API to accomplish this.

Tbh this is also now built-in to React with the `useContext()` hook, which allows you to do the same. `useState()` should really only be used for local-to-a-component level state (though technically you can obviously pass down the state/setter to any child components, but given the above I find it's frequently better to `useContext()`).
6. Inflation is pushing everything up but pay rises in your current jobs and not following that price curve. Jumping to the next job generally gives you a pay bump but if you include inflation, the current bump looks higher than normal.

I've seen this from friends who have moved in the past few months where the pay increases are not insignificant.
> 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.

The same study also quotes (p. 28): "Seventy-four percent (74%) of respondents reported living with one or more health conditions, compared to 68% in 2017. These conditions included chronic physical illnesses, physical disabilities, chronic substance use, and severe mental health conditions. Sixty-nine percent (69%) of respondents reported their condition limited their ability to hold a job, live in stable housing, or take care of themselves, compared to 53% in 2017."

This points to the fact that regular, long-term medical care is the singular issue in the homeless. I had no idea that things were that bad. 15% have a traumatic brain injury? Holy hell.

roads are expensive infrastructure, I don't know about Barcelona but in Australia the roads are paid for by the drivers (at least atm the fossil fuel drivers), how will the maintain and pay for new roads if they take them over with cyclists?

>10 years later and 20 after it started we cannot really have any serious doubt.

It's exactly because I never had any serious doubt, that I identify anyone promoting a narrative about it being revealed by a hero as someone's propaganda.

There are lots of competing conspiracy theories. That might be because there are lots of competing conspiracies.

Nothing people say is true or reliable, but the act of saying it is a kind of truth that seeps through about the PR operation behind it.

All my life, people have been blaming the CIA for everything. Regardless of how much is true, that propaganda can't exist without a source. You know who likes to blame the CIA, and who likes to blame Russians and who likes to blame "Zionists" and so on. I mean, you can guess.

"The sky is blue in Moscow" might be true or might not be. But if someone says that to me, then it expresses some truth about them, that they want me to believe it is true, or they are using reverse psychology, or something. But it represents a truth that can be relied on no matter how dishonest the speaker.

That is essentially the novel legal theory behind Donald Trump's lawsuit against several social media companies. He claims that by following federal government censorship requests they are essentially acting as an arm of the government, and thus users should be entitled to 1st Amendment free speech protections. There is no case law to support Trump's claim so I expect he will lose, but I guess we'll see.

I didn’t really make many friends until junior year, and the majority of my “friends from college” I didn’t actually meet until after I graduated. So don’t let that deter you.

I lived at home and went to the local state university, so I missed many of the social things that brought people together freshman year. A couple things helped me.

I started hanging out at school a lot more. Some of the first people I really got to be friends with were all working on campus at the places I spent time at. Be friendly and say hello to these people, especially if they look bored.

I started using the gym more. Classes and clubs will help you find more like minded people. And when you keep coming after the first enrollment ends bonds are more likely since it’s not assumed you’ll stop going next quarter.

Finding work on campus really helped me a lot. I found a department that needed a lot of student help, then got to know someone on staff who could vouche for me. I made a ton of friends from that.

I started keeping an ear out for house parties. I’m asocial at best most of the time, but I somehow found I liked a good party. I also found that after a while you start running into a lot of the same people and can start to form bonds that way. Also note I didn’t drink in college so don’t worry too much about drinking culture, I found the only parties with extreme drinking pressure were ones I didn’t want to stay at anyways.

Mostly, I can say that I started making more friends when I started being more friendly. One other piece of advice, it’s much easier to be friendly with someone who is already smiling than someone who is not. This works both ways too, if you want to be approachable it’s best to have a slightly positive expression when you’re willing to expend social energy.
Ask HN: Trustworthy advertiser networks for small websites
Im after suggestions for a good advertising network who serves trustworthy ads, for websites that have low volume of traffic that dont have much content. The obvious answer here is Adsense, however they tend to be approving sites which have lots of content these days according to the adsense community forums (and thus my website which could be described as a free service offering gets rejected).

I have tried a few of the common alternative ad networks such as Adsterra, PropellerAds and generally end up with NSFW content or full page content on my site when all I’m after is a simple banner ad.
Windows 11 has a new composition swapchain API (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/comp_swapchai...) that's supposed to make it easier for apps to control frame timings. (I don't know enough and haven't dug in enough to evaluate it myself.)
Nope! None of that is relevant, even remotely, in determining what a publisher is. YouTube is a platform.
My personal experience with ex co-workers who have taken other positions is that the main reason for them going elsewhere is because market compensation is highly competitive and most jobs require fewer responsibilities. For one of them, his kid's school location was also a factor: his mother wanted him in a Montessori school and it was a 20 minute drive out of the way every morning.

A simpler way of putting it is this: employers are set on giving employees cost of living increases, but a 3% COL increase can't match the 8% annual increase of the local market. Jobs that were going at 95K a couple years ago are at 115K+ today.
The study is flawed in many ways. There is no control for any other measures in place. Also looking at the case rate is not the right metric since we don't know the base rate for the comparison, I would want to look at an estimate of R instead.

EDIT: "Notably, Israel with over 60% of their population fully vaccinated had the highest COVID-19 cases per 1 million people in the last 7 days. "

I follow Israel's Covid situations very closely because I have family there and this statement is misleading. The increase in cases in Israel was related to the delta variant arriving, the overall vaccine coverage being low (yeah, 60% isn't enough for Delta) and all restrictions being lifted. And yes, some waning of the effectiveness of the vaccines as well. With the reintroduction of some restrictions (such as vaccine passports e.g.), higher vaccine coverage, and some 3rd booster shots their cases have dropped significantly (by a factor of 8 over a month or so!).
I too would like to see some real numbers behind this. But I will say that I took greyhounds and amtrak in / out of CA a lot growing up in the bay area and I had numerous experiences talking to homeless folks who had been put on the train or bus by law enforcement in counties outside CA for destinations including SF and San Diego. I never experienced the inverse of homeless folks getting shipped out of CA. Always stuck with me for whatever a personal anecdote is worth.
The general advice is to write your hooks without dependency arrays first, and then only add dependency arrays once you know what your hook body looks like. I find that that generally makes them much easier to debug. Also, yes, the exhaustive-hooks ESlint rule is a life-saver.
The book's author was recently on Joe Rogan where they discussed the book and many of the policies in SF.

They discussed: de-criminalization, the "Portugal approach", progressive policies, policing, etc. Also the use of language such as "homeless camps" which envisages a camp of homeless people just trying to live. Versus the reality which when social workers and mayors (mayor of Denver) went into these camps undercover only found that everyone was a drug abuser and were being enabled to self-destruct.

Highly recommended, the author is a resident of "San Fransicko".

I've given up on affordable housing in California.

I feel we need to open up vacant federal, state, and local land to free camping.

(Neusome is doing some good work. Near Candlestick Park boat launch, there is a lot set aside for RV's, and car, to those that are homeless. Could you imagine parking overnight without getting a ticket? I've know two people who were living out of their cars. They both told me it as a nightmare of cops ticketing them, and whatnot.

Sausalito has a dedicated spot for homeless, but it's no model of success. The town decided they didn't want low income, or homeless individuals mored off shore. Anchorouts have been in Richardson Bay for over a 100 years. The town let a private harbormaster decide who stays, and who's boat is going to be crushed. People had knowhere to go, so they set up tents at Dunphy Park. The Liberal citizens didn't like looking at the homeless, so the town moved them.

So basically Sausalito crested their own homeless problem?

The new spot of dirt the homeless were given came with a bunch of rules. (Homeless have a lot of problems. A huge list of rules is not the answer. I happened to read a Section 8 lease awhile ago. It was 47 pages of rules.

Cops are handing out tickets for minor infractions. The one that got me were two $500 tickets. The cops said, they won't pay them, so the fine doesn't really matter.

As usual the cop missed a lot of legal training when going to the academy. You don't pay a ticket, and it eventually turns into a bench warrant. The homeless are housed eventually in jail. Brilliant!

Local rant over.)

As I said previously we need places they can camp.

We need outhouses, and hand washing stations, and maybe a place they can cook.

Their are some people who will never get off the streets.

I'm done waiting for housing.

Oh yea, don't like stepping in crap; provide porta potties.

I have a hard time finding free restrooms in SF, and I'm not homeless.

Watch the increase in Homelessness in CA in the next few months. It's going to be ugly.

I don't feel like debating anyone. The way homeless are treated has bothered me for years.
Jack up the daily ground rate for empty containers until the market solves the problem and clears them out.

Edit: e.g. chop them, pack the result into containers, and ship it to Asia to use as raw materials for new containers.
> It's very bicycle friendly, own parts of the roads, unobstructed by cars

Only in some streets. Many streets don't have cycle lanes. Or only in one direction, and it's not really clear where to find one in the direction you're going. It's a bit of maze trying to figure it out and in the end you just end up in between the cars..

The crossings aren't that safe either because turning traffic doesn't have their own green timeslot, they're supposed to turn when straight gets green but give way to crossing traffic. But drivers often don't check very well, I often see near misses.

Coming from the Netherlands the bicycle lanes there are really much better with their dedicated green lights, lanes everywhere (almost always in both directions) and separate crossings. They're also better marked and uninterrupted (in some barcelona streets they suddenly just stop or move to another side without clear indication). I definitely don't feel safe cycling in Barcelona. I mainly walk here and take the metro.

I hope the bicycle network will improve going forward as cars are excluded from the city more. They make a good effort so far but it's definitely not great :)

This isn't really about section 230, this is about the first amendment. You cannot, and will not, ever successfully pass an enforced law that requires private companies to maintain content they themselves did not produce on their website against their will.

You can repeal section 230, and the first amendment will still protect every company in the US from doing what you want them to do. There is no version of this where you win, and anti-vax or overtly hateful/conservative content sticks around on YouTube.
In the interest of making your argument stronger, it may be worth addressing that when folks discuss housing shortages, they mean "affordable housing shortages".

It's generally good policy to argue towards the strongest and most charitable interpretation of a counter argument if your goal is to persuade.

As a counter to your statement: I believe the crux of the issue is not just more housing, though having more housing available for low and middle class workers is important, but the fact that we (the US) as a country have a bit of a paradox in how we think about hosing:

1. We generally want everyone to be able to afford to have some kind of shelter.

2. We expect all real estate to increase in value over time.

We can't have both, but until we change how we think about real estate and it's role as an asset, we're unlikely to have a robust, long term solution to a lack of housing that's affordable to the average worker.
I’m trying but I don’t understand your comment. Are you saying inalienable rights are an American idea? The US imported that idea.

Or are you saying that it’s bad that they have to be spelled out in the Constitution? Many of the original founders agreed with this and were concerned that the Bill of Rights would create a negative space consisting of every unlisted right, in which the government could reduce rights with impunity. (It turns out that essentially happened due to the unfortunate wording of the inter-state commerce clause.)

If you mean it’s weird that the Constitution is federal, yes, that’s due to the unusual circumstances surrounding the formation of the United States. Each state also has its own constitution where variations of these rights, and others, is repeated.

The difference is that Chesa Boudin, SF's DA, won't prosecute those misdemeanors (and often won't even prosecute felonies).

> “We will not prosecute cases involving quality-of-life crimes,” the DA, Chesa Boudin, said in an interview while he was campaigning for office. “Crimes such as public camping, offering or soliciting sex, public urination, blocking a sidewalk, etc., should not and will not be prosecuted.” Despite that — or maybe because of it — he was elected. [1]

> The initiative set a threshold of $950 for shoplifting to be considered a misdemeanor, which doesn't prompt law enforcement to make an arrest, rather than a felony, which could incur harsh penalties like jail time. "Some people calculate, 'Hey, you know, I don't want to go over the $950, so let me steal $949 worth of property,'" Scott said. "If it's a felony, our officers can take action," he added. "But if it's a misdemeanor, that arrest has to be a private person's arrest. And that makes a difference because they have to be willing to do that." [2]

CA has 1/2 the population of homeless in the US but only 1/8 of total population. The eastern seaboard has close to half the US population but obviously cannot have nearly the same rate of homeless.

Something is at play, though it need not be anything too complicated. Good weather and significant resources dedicated to making the homeless comfortable make California the obvious destination.

There are possibly network effects within homeless communities that are hard for outsiders to understand as well.
