Stop, you have no idea about my personal life. I can assure you nothing of what remains in my brain was shaped by society[0]. Also I don't agree that using biology is an argument, or then I have more penguin genes than average :)

There are some human bonds that I consider emotionally harmful, fruitless, subpar, sad.. and most of free fun sexuality ends up there. I don't hear the words I care about when people talk about sex these days. Now as others said, people do what they want and if it's not harmful to any parties involved so be it.

[0] I lack the words to stress how much this is intimate and personal. Now to each his own brain, some people might have very few emotional attachment, I'm not like this.

Seattle and San Francisco got so rich while forgetting that a greater society outside their bubble exists.

The class difference in these areas is staggering. The taxation method is regressive (at least in Seattle and Washington). And there's very little public service outside of neo-liberal solutions provided to the greater city.
It is curious that traffic-specific law enforcement is rare outside of the major cities.
That’s weird; I had that before but for this one it just immediately worked on my phone.

I don't really like the OBD boxes. They have to use GPS to be effective. Even then, it's mostly about speed and misses other things. There could be scenarios where rapid speed changes are prudent. I don't want to be penalized for slamming on the brakes if a deer jumps our in front of me just because the sensor registers a rapid deceleration.
The lack of prosecution means that they continue to do that. Having a low stock on things at the store for known shoplifting sends a signal to the people at the store that there are 2 prices for their goods: Pay nothing or pay the price on it.

The store has to be able to recuperate the loss there. That means either:

1. Higher prices (and for a region that isn't doing well.. they can't afford it and are pushed futher to steal more to survive)

or

2. The store can't survive in that region (Good bye Target on the south side of chicago.. hello food desert once again..also job losses of people trying to make it legitmately) https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-target-closin...

When you punish someone for shoplifting sufficently enough: That means for the time that they're now occupied they can't shoplift, and others do not see continued shoplifting for them. (This is also how violent crimes work as well..)
Thanks! Will write a review as free reading as well.
How, then, would you define "homeless"? And does it have a different meaning from "does not have a home"?

edit: Perhaps clarifying, are you using the term "homeless" to define a _state_ or a _trait_ of the person to whom you're applying it?
> People in these countries are scared of World War III. I understand the fear—but don’t you understand that World War III may have already arrived?

> Ukraine’s Defense Secretary Olexiy Danilov has said it might be Lithuania, a NATO member. Will NATO act only after Lithuania is invaded?

Ukraine's defense secretary can say whatever he wants. There is zero evidence that Russia plans or wants to invade a NATO member.

I feel very bad for the people of Ukraine, but these appeal-to-emotions zero-substance-full-of-idiocy opinion pieces make me double down in my isolationist attitude. Having NATO confront Russia over Ukraine is a line that simply can not be crossed.
If your engineering patterns can support isolated customer instances in different data centers around the world then there is absolutely no reason to go for the centralized approach. Regardless of data laws, it is beneficial for so many other reasons - better performance for international customers, easier scaling, more redundancy.

Also remember that GDPR isn't the only law of its kind out there. Different countries, industry sectors, regulators and even companies themselves have their own laws and policies around data storage and processing, and as a service provider it is going to be impossible to stay on top of all of them. So, if a potential customer asks you for this feature the ideal response isn't "well actually GDPR doesn't require us to do that", but "yes we will accommodate you in whatever way you want".
Well, most developers I work with benefit from a task runner. Now, we use different runners for different repos. I’d prefer being able to go into a repo and do «make test» and have it work, regardless of language, framework, purpose of the repo.
Note that this is not (only) about the physical location, but also on the legal side who can access the data.

Even if the US company runs the servers in Europe it doesn't matter. U.S. government can request compliance with the CLOUD Act.

Larger companies try to Dona little legal firewalling, by having European customers being customers of an Irish company, not the American HQ. However there are doubts whether such a setup is enough.

On the extreme there are attempts like the Microsoft-T-Systems cooperation, where Deutsche Telekom / T-Systems was running a Azure Cloud Region in Germany, however too few customers where willing to pay the premium and accept the restrictions of being bound to a single region.

Everybody is playing the waiting game, how privacy agencies, courts, ... are going to deal with that and whether there will be a new attempt of a privacy agreement between EU and US.
But Space Invaders is a classic!
It's ridiculous that phone companies allow this. Anyone wanting to set caller ID via voip should be forced to provide some sort of verification that the number is theirs and the phone company should not route it if it fails verification.

We only have 3 major cell carriers here is Switzerland, it should be trivial for the 3 to verify each other's numbers to see if those customers even exist. Unlike the US each cell provider has his own number prefix. Numbers are portable but only between certain providers.

Why do they keep using the euphemism "flipped" in place of "stolen". It's stolen merchandise they're selling. Stolen.
>I'm not sure what would solve things for Andre now, but what would have helped him in childhood was having a home and not being driven to sell stolen property to make ends meet. Some of the deepest solutions to societal problems take a long time to really see the results of.

This is one of the most difficult things to get across with solutions like this. The GP is a prime example of this kind of thinking; it's a refusal to look at systemic problems and apply systemic solutions and only focusing on the individual. The implication that if you gave someone a house they would turn around and stop stealing the next day is mindboggling for everyone. No one (should) advocate for housing as a magic wand to undo 20 years of rot.

Andre's "problem" isn't going to be fixed by anything other than likely expensive therapy and/or apprenticeships. The system has already failed him and it will be very expensive to fix. A cheaper solution is to not create "Andre" in the first place - a homeless 14 year old cannot possibly be expected to get an education or even begin integrating into society.

>"what society is actually losing is a person truly partaking in the rest of society in a productive or positive way."

I must beg the question, if nothing is being done to address this person's asocial behavior, how on Earth will they become a productive and positive member of society? Many of these people have learned they can get more of what they want by breaking the law than by living within it.

People like me who are gainfully employed, pay taxes, and don't steal look at the lawlessness and genuinely start to wonder why we even bother upholding the social contract when there seems to be no interest in applying it anymore.
That’s why, not how. And you can cross-compile from Linux for some stacks.
Does that addition in the UK spec add any extra protection? I've never had a spam call with a spoofed number in the UK as far as I'm aware, and definitely never seen that thing that happens in the states where a call comes in showing the name or company name of the caller, even if they're not in the receiver's address book.
I sometime shift my day a bit to adjust to their time zone, mostly for long calls with people west coast (8h of time difference). It hasn’t been an issue so far, we have enough overlap and async communication works well for software development.
Most people use their online banking credentials to prove their identity online. The system has been around since the late 90s, and it works well enough in practice. There have been some attempts at creating a national electronic id (like in Estonia), but they have never become popular.
Just to chime in, the lackadaisical efforts by India in supporting Ukraine is also due to the NIMBY effect. Compared to a war in a distant land, poverty & hunger are more pressing issues for them. They don't have an incentive to bend over the back for extra $60Bn in energy import, especially when Ukraine hasn't stood as a all-weather friend for them

The whole situation is confusing for me. We set up a few project with kubernetes clusters for local governments in the Netherlands. They denied DigitalOcean because even though they have servers in Amsterdam, the company is in the US, so we went with a much higher priced custom K8s cluster from a local provider.

So not really sure if they were right, but according to them even just having your servers run by a US company is a potential legal risk with GDPR.

But at the same time other departments in the same organization run on Azure.
Personally I moved out of the Valley and into NYC. SF was pretty bad in terms of homeless encampments but this seems to be getting worse, as well as all the other reasons of not having as much walkability as other cities (who doesn't love those hills) and not as much public transport. There's also not nearly as much to do in SF or the Valley as NYC in my opinion.
WSL made running a linux VM less hassle.
This effect should also be noticeable across states in the USA. Is it?
No idea for contracts, but in the technical field we have systems like Rational DOORS, called "requirement management tools". These allow you to set up forward and back links for different elements and across documents so that a change triggers a review of all potentially impacted elements.

These aren't terribly popular, but I like DOORS as a concept (that is, I like what I got from it, I did not care for DOORS itself and was glad to not be the administrator managing it). It greatly reduced missed checks for complex systems with multiple levels of documentation and materials. In my industry (aviation & defense) it's pretty much the tool that anyone uses, if they don't do it manually with Excel and Word documents, so I can't offer any advice on alternative tools that cover the same tasks.
> So… a minimum viable product?

For most companies a MVP is planting a fast growing seed of technical debt. It's rushed, not polished, full of bugs and used to see if you have any traction because your Product Owners and Sales teams usually have a significant disconnect and development is thought of as an after thought. If you can do a MVP in 1 month, but a minimal polished product in 2, I think that extra month will pay for itself if the product is worth anything.

The worse thing a company can do is have your customers fund your products with a JIT development process.

Sure some companies can get it right doing a true MVP, but most cant and it shows.

> is the only solution

But is it a solution?

If Andre gets out of prison and goes back to stealing, then that process may well have wasted more money than many social programs for the exact same outcome. Imprisoning people is really expensive.

If Andre never gets out of prison at all, then we're committing to indefinitely spending a ton of money on him for the rest of his life, which also is not an amazing outcome. And that's only a theoretical possibility anyway, selling stolen goods (even habitually) is probably not going to get you a life-sentence in prison.

I think people have this perspective on incarceration that it's the final catch-all solution, and the reason we avoid it is purely compassion. And compassion is part of it, sure, but also if prison sentences don't reduce recidivism, then they're not a working solution. You should look at prison recidivism rates and apply the same level of skepticism and hold prison spending to the same standards that you apply to social programs and public housing. You should have the same expectations for both public housing and for what is essentially a much more expensive form of "coerced housing".

Asking how far we should go to reform someone before we give up and incarcerate is kind of begging the question -- it assumes that incarceration is always solution that just blanketly works and the only reason we avoid it is out of compassion and morality. In reality, incarceration is just another tool in the toolbox, and sometimes it might solve a problem, and sometimes it won't -- sometimes it's a complete waste of time and money.
It's true enough, but it never really felt like teams solicited feedback on their APIs or portal UX. Azure really only made this jump to using all public products internally recently; even the CI systems used by internal teams were proprietary until recent pushes to move to an ADO-centric model.

I'm also not certain that Azure really has the right internal pressures to produce great UX results. In my experience Azure's culture internally is very lackadaisical with only a few teams really pushing the platform forward.
fair. but a lot simpler than moving across the ocean.
Pretty thin experiment to be making conclusions on though.

That's exactly what a lot of users that do development on a beefy remote machine from a light machine they use as a terminal want. Ssh+vim+tmux is a pretty common setup. That network request might add 20ms of lag, but means that anything that requires CPU power will be an order of magnitude faster. The unhappy path (a bad or absent connection) is bad, but the happy path is pretty damn happy.
I think you're being affected by survivorship bias here. As the insulae clustered in urban environments, they were much more likely to be replaced than rural buildings since the value of the land they're on is so much higher.

And depending on what you mean, "modern-city like" development is a concept that re-arrived in the early renaissance having disappeared after the fall of Rome. Rome itself had a population of over a million during the heydays of the empire, and some interpretations of that number have it as a million citizens, as the empire didn't really care to keep track of non-citizens except in the vaguest of terms.

The security logic was just as you say, but it never seemed very compatible with the facts of history (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_Wars), as there have been plenty of wars started _because_ of global trade. But regardless, current events ought to put the final nail in the coffin of this wishful-thinking (but commonly held) piece of logic. Regardless of whether or not it _should_ make countries less likely to go to war, it doesn't in fact actually seem to.

> Andre is evidence that simply giving people what they need is not enough to stop criminal behavior.

But who is to know what Andre's life would have been like if he had been given what he needed when he was 14? You can't expect someone to spend some of their most formative years on the street and then bounce back just because they suddenly have a roof over their head.

Providing housing certainly is not always sufficient to solve everyone's problems. Plenty of people who've never been homeless commit crimes, develop drug habbits and find other ways to destroy their lives.

Housing is however, necessary, if you want to have any luck helping people. Fixing economic, psychological, substance, or emotional problems becomes many times harder. When people are desperate and are treated liked outcasts regularly, deterring criminal behavior also becomes several times harder.

So yes, housing does not fix everything. It is however a necessary first step in any plan to deal with the homelessness and its comorbidities. Any approach that doesn't start with housing is doomed to fail.

I agree that enforcement needs to change. We should be trying for universal/consistent enforcement. Ticketing 1 person our of 100 violators can easily lead to bias in application of the law.

We can call them collisions and then wait for an investigation (ha ha ha) to categorize it. Of course they only perform investigations for fatal accidents most of the time. You can't even get police to write an accident report in some major cities, like Philly.
