You presented yourself as an authority (native speaker) and provided a translation + opinion of her statement. You omitted the part about her crying, etc. Why? And why do you refuse to you update us on your opinion now that the omission has been pointed out?

Again, the question: does your opinion of her statement change when considering the panicked crying (that you casually omitted) which was pointed out by another user?

>To be perfectly clear, if that wasn't already so, I am against any kind of sexual assault and I support an investigation into corrupt officials.

Another dodge. The question isn't about generalities. It isn't about "different opinions about China". The question is about this very specific instance.

I got my booster shot scheduled in one of the Walgreens about a week before it closed (300 gough st), this is anecdotal but it's what it felt like there.

I live in dogpatch and like SF (the area I live is nice).

The shelves were 90% empty (likely because they were closing shortly), what remained on the shelves was entirely locked down. They had one security guard. Behind the counter in the pharmacy was a sign that said "we will get through this together" that looked like it had been put up by the employees (it wasn't some corporate poster, but something that looked printed). The lighting was harsh, the employees seemed stressed out.

The tiny room they took us into for the shot was dirty, and the entire place was in generally pretty poor shape. This was one of the ones that got hit a lot by people with garbage bags emptying shelves repeatedly.

Relatedly the raids in Union Square also looked pretty extreme and there are lots of pictures of boarded up retail to try and prevent future raids. There's also a ton of car smash and grabs and you see a lot of window glass on the street walking around. I think London Breed's response is the right one, hopefully she's able to do what she says.

This is controversial off topic politics for HN, but lots of police presence in the tenderloin, a strong crack down on dealers, and giving addicts on the street an option of treatment or prison seems like the way forward (in addition to building a lot more housing to increase supply/lower costs generally).
They report everything missing that wasn't sold when they do inventory at least once a week so they can get reimbursed from their insurance and so they can be restocked. It's no additional work for a store.

These are "shrink" numbers not police reports.

Comments like these are indicative of nothing more than the fact that many people have been able to live very sheltered, vacuum sealed lives in gentrified areas of cities for a while now. It is psychologically understandable, your shock, I would just urge you to realize that economic austerity and the crime that follows from it is not new, and is in fact more normal than otherwise.
As far as the left is concerned, the GOP has a 52-48 advantage in the senate. They’re pushing bills like this to say “vote the DINOs out of the party.”
I'm not trying to justify not acting on climate change. That original comment is really just a snippet of some internal thought trains I've had with myself after we decided to grow some of our own food- where the price of deciding to be a meat-eater is not hidden behind some shrink wrapped plastic. Specifically the argument that eating meat is natural- well where do you draw the line between rationalizing our behaviors as being natural for some actions and trying to elevate ourselves above our primitive selves for others.

I'm not a philosopher or anything. of course slavery is bad- if slavery is natural and I'm against slavery, does that eventually lead to me having to be vegan in order to be internally consistent? Maybe, but I'm still not ready to give up meat.
Uhh, delta and omicron are contagious to doubly vaxxed. And spreadable by these people as well. You’re gambling to some degree that you won’t have a problem or you won’t be around those who are at higher risk. I hope it’s a good gamble with omicron as this will greatly facilitate switching to endemic but nobody’s sure yet.
Can you explain the approach a bit? Looks like you’re finding the window holding the dot and moving it offscreen?
The point is that the supposed wave of retail crime sweeping the nation is probably bullshit, or in the very least there is no data to support it, which I would expect would be important to people reading HN.

> The right call her for Apple is to allow users to give permission to specific apps to disable this but let's not start with the idea that pros are outputting directly from their computers without the right hardware.

The unfortunate case with a preference is that as soon as you enable such a permission folks can force users to enable that permission to use their invasive software. The orange dot exists because applications have been abusing privacy by invasively using audio and visual recording to spy on people. The solution to this problem isn't very simple and while the orange dot is causing headaches the lack of an orange dot also causes headaches.
12 years of learning. Not of failing!
I used Elementary 5.1 for over 2 years and then switched to Elementary 6. It was very buggy and slow on Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 9 with very good hardware. I switched to Ubuntu 21.04 and everything worked really well. I dont think I will hop distro again.
It is always embarrassing, even for a young child, to be asking for what he feels to be handouts. But, in your personal experience, was there enough assistance, and did it make a meaningful difference at the right time in your life? Was being better-informed about assistance the biggest challenge by far?
What's changed in 10 years? My personal feeling is from watching the remaking of the executive and judicial branches over the last decade is that the law is meaningless and merely a tool of political whims. Sadly I think people on the opposite end of the political spectrum from me would say much the same. It seems that nihilism, unlike money, does indeed trickle down.

Looks like it would add a single digit percentage to our global greenhouse gas emissions.

For the most widely produced plastics we have: [2]

Plastic Production (2015)

01 PET (C10H8O4)n 63% C 33 Mt plastic 21 Mt C
02 PE-HD (C2H4)n 86% C 52 Mt plastic 45 Mt C
03 PVC (C2H3Cl)n 38% C 38 Mt plastic 14 Mt C
04 PE-LD (C2H4)n 86% C 64 Mt plastic 55 Mt C
05 PP (C3H6)n 86% C 68 Mt plastic 58 Mt C
06 PS (C8H8)n 92% C 25 Mt plastic 23 Mt C

For greenhouse gas we have: [3]

Greenhouse gas Emission (2019)

Carbon dioxide CO2 27% C 57,000 Mt gas 15,000 Mt C

Altogether we have about 200 Mt C in plastics vs. 15,000 Mt C in greenhouse gas emissions.

I wouldn't disagree with your experience complaint, but Costco exists precisely because it doesn't care about the "shopping experience". If you go to Costco, you forgo the right to complain about the "shopping experience" because you are explicitly choosing something with a bad one in exchange for very cheap goods.

Walmart and Target: slightly better experience, slightly more expensive.

Supermarkets and Malls: better experience, more expensive

So I guess, you aren't the only person in America, but people make the choice to accept the burden for the price savings.
True but if that were the case here it would also likely affect the ground.

It only makes sense to fine the corporations if they have high margins/highly overpaid higher-ups. A blanket law like this would just punish all the businesses that are barely getting by with huge labor cost increases.
Notches.
> If only 80%, does the Progressive Caucus think that everyone's going to be thrilled at having to take a 20% pay cut?

In general, when the supply of something (labor) falls, the price per unit goes up.

There's a whole lot of non-exempt employees working 50 hour weeks now; the employer pays overtime for 25% of their hours. If this changes to paying the overtime rate for 36%, this really increases the pressure to train up more people into these occupations to reduce the overtime overrages.

> If the employers have to pay the same for less work (= less stuff produced), is there any realistic scenario where that won't be inflationary?

It's certainly a little inflationary, but it does more to affect how much of the share of productivity goes to labor vs. to capital and brings it closer to historic balances.
Not just the large chains here -- my local bodega has had, for years now, teenagers rushing in, stealing a bunch of merchandise, and leaving. This was happening pre-pandemic. The shopowner said then that he doesn't bother filing police reports anymore, they won't go after kids anyway.
Doesn't really change much afaik. GDP was already banned on mainstream sites. Niche sites still have some of them but I reckon they don't care about DMCAs etc anyway.

The videos themselves will live eternally though, they're very popular on torrent sites and collections TBs in size are well seeded (and very sought after, looking at my download:upload ratio).
Why not make it mandatory (otherwise it will be a factor of competition to not have one) to install airlock-like gates in stores that sell expensive stuff, like they do in banks? These can also detect weapons.

I don't think that these smash-and-grab thieves will dare to upgrade themselves to armed robberies or hostage taking in this case, because that easily carries a death penalty which, given how many cameras are everywhere, will be nearly impossible to avoid.
Redis vs. Cassandra for high volume database query
I have a scenario - a shop runs hundreds and thousands of queries every hour. Each transaction has values like merchant id client id, purchase id, item name, item type, price, time of purchase, etc.

Potentially, the database can have millions of such records, and that can pretty much scale upto billions as well. The web front end will support queries like "find the records of transactions by that customer id brought on this date within the price range this to that", etc. The response must be near real time, say not slower than what time Google typically takes to return a search result.

Keeping in mind cost, and most importantly, performance, which is preferable - Redis, or a NoSQL DB like MondoDB or Cassandra? Will Redis offer significantly more performance benefits because it is in-memory, or will the difference be negligible in this situation?
It is very clear to me that listening at 3x works after some training. (Not surprising, since almost everyone already reads way faster than normal speech)

The proof for this is e.g. blind people. Listen to what their screen readers sound like! I bet it will be hard to know even what language it is.
Probably not many, because prosecuting a case in court is expensive, resources are finite, and doing a trial or grand-jury for $500 is difficult to justify.

Maybe companies would then be forced to eliminate what is commonly called "bullshit jobs" and invest in process optimization. There is so much potential for trimming fat in processes, it's incredible - for example in large companies, sometimes five to six people are involved in reimbursing a 5$ expense: the employee who bought a thing, the team lead, department VP, the data entry person in accounting, the accounting team lead and the person responsible for paying out money/cutting checks. Altogether, that simple 5$ expense burned half an hour of time (or, depending how horrid the processes and tools are, anything to two hours).

If the labor cost of all these people would make such processual time waste inexplicably expensive, maybe companies would be forced to give the team leads a budget for small scale expenses and implement a fully digital process.

Or your average "daily scrum meeting": no matter the company, everyone sans the boss who wants "progress reports" to show to superiors (again, see my take above on "bullshit jobs"...) loathes it, even if it's "only" fifteen minutes. No I don't care what the fuck you are working on, if you want help for a problem or are stuck somewhere post it in the Teams channel, now leave me the fuck alone to drink my coffee in peace. A team of eight people wasting 15 min each work day is 10 working hours a week.

Or inadequate equipment: thankfully I have been at places that issued top notch equipment for the majority of my career, but I began in the public sector in sysops - and my private laptop had double or thrice the CPU and RAM power that the ages old desktop office machine. The amount of time wasted waiting for compiles or even loading Office... jesus.

Or inadequate tooling: just how many corporate processes are built on slow, complex Excel datasheetsm slow 1970s-ish mainframe UIs or require manual copying of data between applications is mind-boggling.

The other set of questions we need to ask for this extension:

> Also, it's not instantly clear things actually get better because while your heap space is larger, so is your object graph and the rate at which your objects are getting created is larger.

In practice, the amount of RAM that any application uses is constant. Front-end, back-end, doesn't matter.

If this were not true, all of our apps would "crash" with out-of-memory errors all the time. In effect, our programs are written in such a way that MUST use (at worst) O(1) memory usage.

This is especially true of long-running programs. A memory-leak (ie: using more-and-more live data at any given time) will kill any long-running program given enough time, as all of our computers have a constant amount of RAM in them.

----------

Garbage collection, especially generational garbage collection that Java uses, scales with respect to this live-data. If you only have 10MB of live data, it doesn't matter if your heap size is 300MB. The GC-phase will only analyze (at worst) the 10MB of live data and ignore the other 290MB.

In practice, that 10MB will be maybe 5MB of "old" data (generational), and therefore assumed to be part of a data-set that won't need to be collected, so maybe only 5MB will get actively scanned by the garbage collector in that collect.
He did explain how he got the 3D coords (in principle), 5 minutes in the original video.
If you switch the word "disruptive" for "likely to have negative externalities", this seems less like two descriptions of opposing philosophies than a single way to lionize the people who support the thing you want to do while caricaturing the people who don't support the thing you want to do.

1) There's nobody who supports the idea of letting any idea be vetoed by anyone. It's not a belief that people have. People have a variety of ideas about how a variety of things should be organized, and who should have standing to keep other people from doing things. This is the entire purpose of political philosophy.

2) It's entirely self-serving and situational; the real distinction is who the negative externalities will affect. "Bulldozers" immediately become "vetoers" when somebody is proposing something that might as a consequence keep them from driving their bulldozers wherever they want.

You might as well classify the world as "players" and "haters." Players are people who let me do what I want, and haters are the people who hate on that.

I occasionally have the chance to clear out attics etc. I do find old newspapers yellowed and more brittle, but old plastic bags also seem thinner and degraded. If they have been in the sun they literally turn to dust.

The issue is whether crimes are being prosecuted and criminals are actually prevented simply stealing some more the next day.

I make no assumption of correlation between productivity and hours worked in my writing. I just say that increased productivity leaves room for this change.

If productivity is sublinear, that's an even better argument for shortening the week. If you reduce hours worked by x% and production is reduced by much less than x%, that's great for society too. I mean, what's our objective-- chaining people to the workplace or getting things done?

Many jobs requiring coverage / a person to be present will still make the "reduced supply" argument true.
Before I found a great car mechanic, I took my car to a couple of unethical and incompetent shops that would do things like spray-paint an old part and charge the customer for a replacement. I didn't trust auto mechanics for years.

I suppose psychotherapy is a skill that can be done well or done poorly. If done poorly it could cause great damage to people personally. Same could be said for any discipline that deals with intimate relationships.
Yes, exactly. I'm sure there are more elegant answers — plus watching events so that it can hide the window right away instead of running in a loop — but I haven't used the accessibility APIs much lately and this is the first working approach I found.
> Knowing which school is the good school is hardly the problem. It's the one in the good neighborhood where the poor kids can't afford to live.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. Not only are poorer people less likely to have the time in the morning to get their children to schools farther away, they're also less likely to even have vehicles to do some in some cases.

That's why maybe opening up schools to any student, ignoring criteria such as geography or testing, and providing free bussing to a certain range/degree might be a market approach way to allow those resources to be more evenly spread across children (if the poorer schools have 25% less children each but the richer schools have 50% more children, that might even out some of the funding issues and allow for other reform to take place, such as not using property taxes).

Then again, maybe we'll just see an explosion of high-end private schools 20 miles outside of cities.

As for testing to get into wealthier schools, to some degree that might be a chicken and egg problem. What if many people that would qualify don't because they've not had the resources to excel outside of that environment? Also, what if the testing is subtly biased towards one group over another? You could heavily regulate the testing, but I think heavy regulation often leads to people finding and abusing the loopholes. I think I favor lighter regulation (but not the lack of any, for sure), and incentives and disincentives towards desired behavior what are viewed less as a sacrosanct set of rules that must be preserved and more as an ever changing set of nudges to move us towards the outcomes we want.
I agree now, fully, but that's not what their marketing would say. It's literally called "Elementary OS"!
Yeah, I'm sure somebody is already doing good work on whatever the photographic equivalent of Synthetic Aperture Radar is. They should call it Synthetic Lens Aperture Photography, so they could use SLAP as the acronym (the most important property of a research topic is of course the ability to come up with good titles).

For example:

I had some upper division math classes that were offered for both undergrad and grad credits. I enjoyed the classes, but one thing I noticed was that the teacher seemed to be under some pressure to ensure the grad students passed. They didn't seem to care about the classes and performed horribly, I would do OK, and at the end of term all the undergrads like me would exit with an almost-guaranteed A.

Really helped to shape my perception that grades are meaningless and ultimately political.

Yes, I have had a bit of entrepreneurial success. I started off contracting, but looked at the needs of my contracting customers and also their customers.
