>but not unconditionally. Housing should be offered to everyone, but continued housing should be dependent on ongoing participation in drug rehab and mental health programs.

The problem with this is it attempt to fix too many problems at once. The US does not have robust drug rehab programs, and if you make this a stipulation for housing, then those people will end up on the streets again and tax payers will eviscerate you for building housing and still having homeless. Secondly, various interest groups will use your arbitrary lines to impose their brand of morality. The christians will come in and say no weed and alcohol, and now no one wants to live there, and you've effectively replicated 70% of the problems that cause the homeless to not live in homeless shelters.

I think a better question to ask is why you want to impose this drug law. Are you letting your morals get in the way of public policy or do you actually believe that the people who live on the street today will just unilaterally decide to stop living on the street and give up heroin? Refer back to my list. Once they have failed the drug test you have (1), (3), and (4). You can go with (3), but prisons, in the US today, do not rehabilitate people and are more expensive than just housing them.
In our current climate, being blocked and ostracized has lost all meaning. Look at the Lt. Governor race in Virginia last night. Black woman, ex-marine, homeless shelter operator ran as GOP and won. Twitter mob and media blames it on "racism" as usual.

> Chrome is worse, and the ways are much more intrusive. They aren't even predictable. If people keep attacking Firefox like that, there won't be any choice but Chromium/Google, and then it will get even worse.

I understand where they're coming from: With Chrome I don't see those ads. They are probably exploiting my data, but I don't see ads that come from the browser. Firefox on the other hand shoves the ads right under my nose.
I find this part hilarious "Durr said he entered the race after being denied a concealed carry permit despite having a clean record."

So the state with one of the most strict gun laws burns someone, and now he's probably going to win. I wonder if he's going to start turning screws to get their permit issue laws changed. Did you know in NJ you can not posses hollow point bullets? You can go to jail. 18 months in prison. You need to be extremely careful when driving through that state so you don't forget if you have some in the car.

This is the reason politicians get salaries.
I feel like your (3) isn't discussed openly enough. As an antidote, I have a family member that was an addict living on the street. He was arrested for multiple petty crimes, and through prison was able to sober up and get the help he needed. He's now a productive member of society and we couldn't be more proud.

Now obviously we shouldn't just throw addicts into prison, and there is a laundry list of other hurdles to solve. Primarily I think the punishment after the punishment from having a criminal record (which I think we've quietly made progress on, see Fair Chance Odinances by SF). But it's a process we already have in place, and could be expanded in a humanitarian manner with less red tape than some of the other radical solutions. At the very least I'd love to see it in the running of options discussed, but all I hear is prisons=pure evil
Michael Shellenberger in his book San Fransicko offers a solution he is calling CalPsych. I recommend his interview on JRE (https://open.spotify.com/episode/5NxzDE5TmviUV8te2eZjMP)

His analysis and solution centers on treating this as a mental health issue, consolidating the efforts to deal with the problem, and generally modeling CalPsych after what the Dutch and several other European cities did to deal with their similar situations in previous decades.

In my experience, there's no substitute for putting in the hours of painstaking research: scouring job boards and sites like levels.fyi for companies you haven't heard of yet, exploring their websites, looking at the professional profiles and blogs of the employees, etc. Every once in a long while, you find something really legit - places like Brilliant, McMaster-Carr, Bitwise Alchemy. IMO the better the place the more likely it is to be somewhat under the radar

The purpose of a permissive license is to encourage proprietary derivatives that come with intellectual property restrictions, EULAs, SaaS with vendor lock-in, etc.
The purpose of a copyleft license is to encourage derivatives that don't come with such restrictions.
Copyleft therefore helps reach a local maximum of freedom for everyone as a function of restrictions on redistribution.

This is the fundamental idea behind copyleft that so many people seem to misunderstand whenever they say that MIT/ISC licenses are "more free" because they come with fewer obligations: copyleft licenses like the AGPL force a vendor to give up some power to improve freedoms for the wider community. Compliance is only hard if you want to control others' computing; the whole point of copyleft licenses is to oppose that.
I just recently read this article in The Atlantic[0] that, to an extent, tied the wave of homelessness to a new version of meth that's taken over.

the subheadline is Different chemically than it was a decade ago, the drug is creating a wave of severe mental illness and worsening America’s homelessness problem.

It was worth a read for some context

Mostly academic sources, i.e. Taylor Fravel who specializes in PRC territorial disputes from back in the day had a detailed timeline iirc. Excerpt from report by asistant secretary of defense from 2015. Note date range to 2014 to conveniently overlook fact that PRC began reclaimation in Dec 2013. And emphasis that PRC and Brunai did not have airstrips / serious military projection capabilities which sparked reclaimation race.

>Over the past two decades, all of the territorial claimants, other than Brunei, have developed outposts in the South China Sea, which they use to project civilian or maritime presence into surrounding waters, assert their sovereignty claims to land features, and monitor the activities of other claimants. In the Spratly islands, Vietnam has 48 outposts; the Philippines, 8; China, 8; Malaysia, 5, and Taiwan, 1. All of these same claimants have also engaged in construction
activity of differing scope and degree. The types of outpost upgrades vary across claimants but broadly are comprised of land reclamation, building construction and extension, and defense emplacements. Between 2009 and 2014, Vietnam was the most active claimant in terms of both outpost upgrades and land reclamation, reclaiming approximately 60 acres. All territorial claimants, with the exception of China and Brunei, have also already built airstrips of varying sizes and functionality on disputed features in the Spratlys. These efforts by claimants have resulted in a tit-for-tat dynamic which continues to date.

Ask HN: HTML5 video with EME – is it possible to detect CDM blackout?
A project I'm working on uses Video.js with Encrypted Media Extensions (DRM). We know that if someone plays video via an interface that isn't HDCP compliant or look like it may be used to capture the output, the video plays but is blacked out.

I'm trying to find information about whether it is possible to detect this state, so I can display a message to help users who encounter it.

Anyone know about this stuff?

Quote from Moonrise Kindgdom, "I love you, but you don't know what you are talking about."

1. By the time a person is homeless, there is a very small percentage whom ever get off the streets.

2. Yes, there are a percentage of homeless that enrages the public, but most are just trying to make it through the night. (It's housed gangs that are doing most of the shoplifting. Plus--I believe stores are using theft as an excuse to close low revenue stores. And Employees theft is never talked about.)

3. San Francisco could put porta potties where the homeless congregate. When they move, move the outhouses.

4. I've given up on a solution, other than letting them camp on federal land. Provide out houses, a place to cook, and Portable showers too. Don't just give money to a crooked 501c3 that doesn't do much.

5. Every homeless person I have known does not want a lot.

They want to hold on to a bit of degrading ego they lose every day.

Meaning they don't need 50 rules made up by someone who doesn't have a clue to what they are going through.

Yes--a room with a lock.

6. The city could hire traveling doctors, and provide meds to those that want it.

7. The small percentage that are rehabilitatable should be given more focused help.

Homeless I gave know gave a saying, "Homeless for a year, homeless for life". Meaning the brain just changes.

8. Homelessness is my biggest concern, and I have been angered over how we have dealt with it for decades. That whole Broken Window Pane is not what America should succum to.

So in summary, give them a place to chit.

Oh yea, I have know more than a few once fully employed Programmers who ended up on the street.

Jim Fox spend twenty years climbing into Scothch Broom in order to sleep. Spent his last years wearing a Penguin Outfit begging for change.

Jim Fox was very instrumental in the programming of Wordstar, but Semore only gave him a bit of credit.

Those of us not from wealthy loving families know we are up just a few clicks from homeless.

Seattle has always been a socially liberal, bend-over-backwards for business town. It's how it can legalize marijuana and magic mushrooms, while having 11,000 people living in tents and homeless shelters.

Unsurprisingly, since nobody likes seeing tents in city parks, and by the I-5 on-ramps, the city voted for a slate of politicians that will... Maintain the status quo. There's no plan for getting ~5,500 people housed.

Four years from now, we'll be exactly where we are today.

Real talk, I think there is a certain level of education we should desire for politicians, since generally speaking, it denotes a certain dedication to understanding many facets of society. That said, career politicians are completely bogus all the way through.
The game uses ray casting, not ray tracing. Ray casting is when you send a ray once for every column of pixels to get a distance to a wall. Also, if the walls are only horizontal or vertical the calculations get simpler.

Also I wonder how you can achieve clock frequency like 300 MHz without a cache. Shouldn't CPU stumble on fetching every command?

There is a minor way in which this situation can become a predicament. Outsiders who become governors don’t tend to have a network or know how the mechanisms work, so tend to either get nothing done or end up having little input into things being done by those who do know those things.

But having an outsider as a legislative member is generally a good thing.

In California we have term limits, so no member of the legislature (or any other position) can have the time to develop expertise. This gives lobbyists a lot more power.
I wouldn't say that being the most morally bankrupt (actively working on the attack on journalists, critics and minorities) automatically qualifies someone as a "most prized mind", it's not like they are developing all of those zero days inhouse, they buy them for the most part.

It seems to me like you are overestimating the skills of people that just don't have any moral barrier while underestimating the skills of many proper security researchers. Companies like NSO are most of the time able to do what they do because they shake the right hands and get the right support (or the right people to look the other way), not because they have some special people that you can't find anywhere else.

b) some things (violence) seem to have become accepted.

There was a recent article on HN rebutting this hypothesis [1][2]. (Convincingly, in my opinion.)

According to this[0] New Jersey State Senate District 3 has an eligible population of around 176,344 (74.9% of total) in 2010. So roughly a 35.7% turnout (with a lot of assumptions and bad data).

I wish turnout was higher just so candidates were more representative no matter who ultimately won. But realistically when a single person represents over 150K citizens, it is hard to call it very representative regardless.

I loved every minute of my time working at Netflix. Great, talented coworkers who I could constantly learn from, management chain from bottom to top of former engineers, so they understood when you would say, "I worked on this for a week but have no results because it didn't work". Plenty of resources to do what you needed to do, and lots of autonomy to do what you thought was right. Very little process and upper management actively moved to eliminate what little process there was. Unlimited vacation time that was real -- management took long vacations to set an example and would actively encourage everyone to do the same. And of course a great paycheck which included 10%+ raises because they made sure that new people didn't make more than veterans.

I'll be the first to admit it's not for everyone. As they say, they are a sports team, not a family. Perform well and be rewarded handsomely, perform poorly and get cut with a big check. I personally thrived in that kind of environment, where you always have to keep proving your value. But not everyone wants to work that way.
GPUs don’t have a single start, at least it depends on how you define them, but arguibly the first generally available one came in the late 1990s, compared to the various X server implementations that were around before that as well.

About its current role, there is a famous talk by an ex-Xorg developer that explains it well. Very crudely, a wayland compositor relays events to applications, which signals when it’s ready. Xorg on the other hand does these as well, but sits between the compositor and the clients, relaying their messages with some delay (and not having a concept of every frame is perfect)

Xorg doesn’t have support for mixed-DPI monitors, as it renders to all screens simultaneously with a single DPI setting. This is pretty much unfixable, it is so inside the core of the whole thing.

And finally, Xwayland exists and it is backwards compatible to the most part (other than manipulating wayland clients as if they were x ones, but that is also a wanted “functionality”). These are pretty much just nested x servers, so I don’t see how is it false?
Many NJ residents work(ed) in NY. Of which, many are high earners who could be contributing significant amounts to the state tax rolls but NY claims income tax from anyone who commutes there. To make up the difference towns have to jack up property taxes. Things should hopefully change with remote work not happening in NY anymore.
> The most recent ACS stats said there were >40k vacant units in the city.

It’s critical to note that “vacant” can mean a lot of things when the census starts throwing the term around. For example, in San Francisco it could mean any of the following:

* 6,694 of those vacancies were units currently listed for rent that hadn’t yet found tenants. Another 1,031 were homes for sale that didn’t yet have buyers.

* 6,294 were homes with either current owners or renters that were just not living there. This can happen for any number of reasons: hospital stays, long trips out of town, delayed move-ins, even cases of homeowners who have died but are still technically counted as the resident.

* 8,523 were “occasional use” homes—i.e., these were second homes, vacation homes, some types of short-term rentals, or just any unit that was accounted for but not lived in most of the year.

*Finally, the census designated 11,760 homes in the catch-all category of “other vacant,” which primarily means vacancies without an obviously stated cause.

For a city with 800K residents, 8k 'occasional use' homes and 10k 'potentially vacant' homes is not a lot. And it's not as though this crisis was caused by those numbers going up faster than residents.

So yeah, more housing is 100% the answer.
