I live in San Jose. I used to love going to SF with my kids - Cal Academy of Sciences, Fisherman’s Wharf, Botanic Garden, etc.

I don’t go there anymore - too many drug addicts using drugs openly on the streets, people assaulted by mentally ill people.

Also, I will never/ever drive there in my car unless my destination has a gated/closed parking. Otherwise the car’s windows will be smashed.

Another anecdotal point: my sister just escaped a war in Ukraine. She is too afraid to go visit SF because it seems way too unsafe.
How many months ago was it that they were predicting a 1920s style gilded age?
I agree with this approach. I once had a CEO try to get me to quit by changing my responsibilities in a way that appeared to be a demotion. Instead of getting angry, I said "sounds great". I didn't quit until I found a job that I like a lot better.
> This quote from the article could be the motto of progressive cities everywhere, it certainly applies to the ones near me:

> "...making the citizens of our city miserable in service of an ideology that made sense everywhere but in reality"

It should be the motto of more than just those cities. I think people often get blinkered by ideologies that are "satisfyingly simple" and fall into a kind of "ideology-X realism" trap, where they confuse the ideological formulations for reality, and so stop paying attention to actual reality.

You see the same thing lot with "econ 101" style thinking that omits the rough edges and complexity of reality to make a "free market" ideological program feel silky-smooth and perfect.
I am not a lawyer - you need to speak to one - a really good one, specializing in employment law in your state and probably also in California/Texas or whatever state your management/'official site is located. Things get complicated in a hurry and you'll want to preserve your options.

In general, as others have advised, do not quit voluntarily as that basically gives away the store — Tesla will have no obligation whatsoever for severance, unemployment comp, etc. It appears that this is also why Elon tweeted something like "if you don't show up we will assume you quit" - that's a classic employer's line to evade any responsibility for terminating your employment, and put you at best in a situation of arguing about 'constructive termination' before even arguing about for cause, etc.

I also second the advice to keep doing your job to the fullest, attempt to work around any obstacles such as system access removed, etc., and *document everything* (on non-company property and paper).

Do not try to cheap out on this, do some research, get some good recommendations for a real expert focused on that area of law. It'll be worth every penny.

Maybe Umbrel could sell that as an extra -- you have an Umbrel box, it automatically sends an encrypted copy of your data to its servers.
One thing that FreeBSD really was great at was setting up traffic shaping for a large network. I set up per-user shaping of all DSL users for a rural ISP in maybe a couple commands and it worked very reliably. Meanwhile in Linux I've tried several times to set up shaping, and anything more than just the most basic setup I've never really gotten working reliably.

I'm not familiar with Workflow Builder. Does it have a separate data retention scheme? Slack seems to have a big problem in that information quickly ages out, the search is pretty bad, and, in some cases, the data is actually ephemeral and will just disappear. Incident response is one of the categories that I want to preserve. Does Rootly address any of these problems?

OK, I see at the end of the demo that there is a chat transcript, so that's useful. Does it differentiate between incidents if there are multiple active incidents? Where is that archived stored?

Finding lawyers is surprisingly hard. I had to find one for a land dispute in California and this was my starting point: https://www.courts.ca.gov/selfhelp-findlawyer.htm?rdeLocaleA...

Ymmv, but it’s got some good general recommendations (eg contact the bar assoc) along with California specific ones. Good luck!
There is no combined J1772/CCS1 adapter. There are separate passive J1772 and CCS1 adapters, though. The J1772 adapter is obviously really small and easy to use.

I was referring to the CCS adapter that is currently available in South Korea. Its a little heavier, but its also fairly easy to use (well, as easy as CCS usually is). It has become really easy to import them too, thanks to Harumio and other importers. The speeds are 150+kw, and close to 200kw on the newer Model S/X[1]. I expect that official availability will happen sometime this year, but if it doesn't, then presumably a third party will make a suitable passive adapter. Its a ridiculously simple device.

[1] I know officially S/X isn't even supported, but it has been demonstrated to work. Higher speeds are because of the newer 450V battery pack.

If you can get a referral that's probably best, but if you can't, Google "employment lawyer" and look for someone with good reviews. You want someone in the state your employment agreement is governed by. It should say in the agreement. That failing I'd start with someone where they are based. When you call to setup an appointment they will ask if there are any deadlines and try to fit you in if they can.
Add anti-spam to the places where they need to do better, but generally agreed.

By simply playing the game (even without paying), we are helping to support the whaling. After all, not even whales want to play a game that has no players in it. Nobody to show off to; nobody to beat into the ground with the equipment they've purchased.
I would have been more surprised to find out there was. Simple is rarely goes along with ML / AI libraries.

Any abstraction layer will add overhead and probably present a lowest common denominator interface. The audience willing to accept those costs is small.
Strong disagree. The usability hit is not worth the added security. Having a cutoff for PIN entry requirement and the card issuer taking responsibility for fraud means customers are quite safe (as long as they look at their charges).

That's my gut instinct as well.
I think there is a very direct link to energy independence & control of supply chains and freedom.

As much as I also hate political slogans, at least I'm not seeing a problem with this one given the context.

Europe is just now seeing the effect of being less free than it's population thought it was.
The Government don't seem to care and they oil companies seem happy to milk the cash cow while they can. I can imagine many environmental conscious politicians will say "good" that driving is becoming unaffordable and jump into their limousine to go to the airport to catch a plane from London to Wales (or whatever). Meanwhile people need to get places.
Severance is a company specific policy unless you are talking about unemployment. Only Tesla has answer this question and a lawyer will ask you the same questions
“to have your car window broken overnight or to see people shoplifting openly at the pharmacy or grocery store. In certain parts of the city there’s fairly open drug dealing & use. And the homelessness is heartbreaking.”

- Well, no, this is NOT normal. these are the points of a failed city.
From the top of the webpage, "CircuitPython is a programming language designed to simplify experimenting and learning to code on low-cost microcontroller boards." It targets beginner hobbyists and the lower grade education market. The changes from MicroPython are designed to make getting code on to the board and executing easier for those users.

When a microcontroller board with CircuitPython is connected to a computer it appears as a USB drive. To install your code and any supporting files on the board you just drag and drop them on the drive vs having to upload them using something like Thonny with MicroPython. Also when you drop your code on the drive the board automatically resets and begins executing the code. It also has some changes to make code more portable across the different microcontroller boards it supports.

CodeMirror 6 is an awesome piece of software and very flexible — I was even able to build a notebook UI with it — https://bqnpad.mechanize.systems/notebook — this is a notebook (WIP) for BQN[1].

The nice thing is that the whole notebook is a single CodeMirror editor with cells stored as ranges in CodeMirror state. This way intercell actions like selection/copy/paste are possible and still you can control execution per cell.

Shortcuts at https://bqnpad.mechanize.systems/notebook

* Shift+Enter to eval cell

* Cmd-Enter to create new cell

* Cmd-Option-Enter to split cell at cursor

* Cmd-Backspace to join cell with the previous one

I'll also note the state bar can refer you to one, but they probably charge a fee, and can be relatively slow.

> In which case you specify service dependencies and systemd will start them one after another, you know, you have the After= option in your units just for that.

First off, After= specifies order, not functional dependency. This doesn't do what you want which, I think, kind of proves my point. The complaint in the original article (and mine) isn't that it's impossible to specify order between two services, which, yes, you can do just fine. The complaint is that doing so repeatably across boot times is impossible (because systemd literally and explicitly does not support it) and that debugging the "weak" version of it is really difficult.

It's really difficult because Aftter= is, literally, one twelfth of the story, possibly less. Order and dependency ae specified not just though After=, but also Before=, Wants=, Requires=, WantedBy=, RequiedBy=, Requisite=, RequisiteOf=, Triggers=, TriggeredBy=, PartOf= and ConsistsOf=.

Ordering and dependency are treated separately by systemd. I think that's a good design trade-off but it's not without consequences.
We could actually do a lot without gun restrictions by simply limiting supply. 13 million a year domestic gun production is simply too much, and not all of those guns are being smuggled into Mexico and Latin America.
I believe that to be true, but it's a fact that it's impossible to tell the real lawyers apart from the 12 year old armchair ones. It's probably safer to avoid that place.
Because it implies a cut and dried solution, which does not exist. It's implies sf wants to care, but is too busy virtue signaling to do anything about it. Like as if the city doesn't want to put it's money where it's mouth is.

Instead, sf has one of the most well funded social networks in the country. And they tried to take an innovative approach on policing, one that would not disportionately target poor people or people of a certain race.

The remaining solutions are essentially to forcibly remove people from the streets, and revert to the standard American policing playbook. At least, those are the tools traditionally used to clean up these problems in other parts of the country.

So, it's a comment that sounds nice but isn't actually true. Sf was taking actions. And now, as of last night, the citizenry are also taking action (by recalling the DA)
Way to throw out the baby with the water. Inequality did not happen because of socialism for the rich. It happened because the winner takes it all, and the government did not do more about it. Without intervention it is natural for winners to gain access to more, and eventually all opportunities. The goal is to create opportunities for others too, if you want a healthy, sustainable system.

The government is meant to promote opportunities for all, promoting the rich is not socialism. Not to mention that socialism originally meant social ownership, that's also not something people want. People just want opportunities.

Your data is stored locally in IndexedDB and backed up to a database on the server. We do not share it with anyone.
There are pros to the current system.

That said, part of the issue you flag is just perception. It's like going with a financial services firm that has a Wall Street or "Fifth Avenue" address in New York City versus a firm that has an address in Hoboken, New Jersey.

Both might be fine but we often attach significance to an address (even if its just a mailbox).

To your last point, I think its ultimately good that (many) Country restricted TLDs have geographic restrictions.
> Plenty of SFPD folks would love to do arrests, but when called made it clear that was no point because the DA would refuse to prosecute. At least that’s what they said on scene.

Assuming that there are legitimate grounds for arrest, this is what it means for police not to do their jobs. AFAIK, there is no "aw, what's the use, anyway?" exception.
I have a modicum of sympathy, but this is such incredibly first world problems. The tech isn't interesting so you dread going to work? And have abandoned an incredibly lucrative profession forever? 99% of my stress comes from people not systems. And 99% of my satisfaction comes from delivering a valuable product and getting recognition for it. I mostly do management these days, but the times I get to write code it's mostly a codebase that is over 10 years old and held together with duct tape and chewing gum, but it's used for a valuable public service so I love it.

I remember the "Handy Board" [1], a 68HC11-based micro-board (that came out of MIT?) that had an amazing "Interactive-C" language. C code was compiled to a byte-code that was interpreted in real-time on the Handy Board.

So cool to type code on the C/L and have it execute on the microcontroller and return a result back to your terminal.

I suspect Python on a microcontroller gives a similar experience/thrill.

I mostly agree (except for the weird MMT stuff). OTOH, I believe governments and schools at least in my country have made a good faith effort to try to educate kids widely about these matters.

But most kids and adults alike probably find textbook economics and statistics as appealing as unsweetened oatmeal, and strongly prefer to consume sensationalized headlines and conspiracy theories. There's some tension between free choice and paternalistically nudging/forcing the population towards healthier stuff, that I wouldn't know how to resolve.
That first paragraph is what you call “not that bad”? It sounds dire.
I’ve seen Violent crime happen at a much higher rate. Same goes for car theft. Covid caused a huge surge.

SF will likely have tax rev shortfalls this year, and their reserves were already tapped into. The surrounding communities however are much more fiscally conservative with large reserves still in tact.
>> A couple of years ago, one of my friends saw a man staggering down the street, bleeding. She recognized him as someone who regularly slept outside in the neighborhood, and called 911. Paramedics and police arrived and began treating him, but members of a homeless advocacy group noticed and intervened. They told the man that he didn’t have to get into the ambulance, that he had the right to refuse treatment. So that’s what he did. The paramedics left; the activists left. The man sat on the sidewalk alone, still bleeding. A few months later, he died about a block away.

This is appalling. What kind of morons are in this advocacy group? If you're going to talk him out of getting 'official' help the least you can do is help him yourself.
I've been saying for years that we need an "American competence party" that takes a centrist position on culture war issues and focuses on actually fixing things in the real world.

A big part of why our politics is so broken is the culture war. It's a godsend to incompetent and corrupt politicians since it allows them to pay lip service or toss low-cost political bones to their "base" while freeing them from the need to do anything hard or get any real results. With the culture war politicians don't have to be competent or earn your vote.

Works for both "red" and "blue" sides. There are terribly run places with all-Republican single party rule.

Unfortunately the trend has been toward hyper-polarization on culture war issues, making it even harder to select for competence over "correct" cultural alignment with the base. The right likes to bash political correctness but they have their own form of it as well as their own "safe spaces" where only their speech is tolerated. It's definitely a both-sides problem.

I can offer some local perspective but not as a San Francisco dweller. My grandmother's family lived in San Francisco and they moved across the Bay, before WWII. Later I did research and a relative of hers was actually the real Mayor of San Francisco from her large Catholic German family. When I was small I heard that San Francisco "had problems with disease" and that was part of why they moved away, apparently. Nothing said about money but that family was not rich.

So forward to more modern times, Gay-everything in your face at every corner, obvious hard core drug abuse on the sidewalks, yet world-class views, architecture, food and steady tourism made the city go.. No overview is complete without mentioning that the quiet side of San Francisco is the Chinese-American community. The highest density of ethnic chinese population in the USA. Aside from Mayor Ed Lee dying of a heart attack in office, you just don't see many obvious attention-getting events with the SF chinese population overall.

The cost of living, the excess of all kinds, the reliable income, all came to a grinding car-crash result with covid-19. The balance on the street of healthy daily people versus dying-in-front-of-you, was lost. The ability of individuals of lots of non-dot-com people, to cope with expenses, was lost. Tourism dollars ceased. Restaurants closed. Of course it is a train-wreck. It really is a train-wreck, with nowhere to hide. Yet "billionaire-in-training" dot-com'ers and Bloomberg employees and 23andMe people and whatnow, glide through on a levitation walkway made of money. As others have said, some people are so well insulated from the consequences of these changes that there is no incentive.. in fact a badge of membership to overlook and ignore it seems.. no "community" .. the literally-insane people at Mozilla have indeed changed the world, and they can step over the bodies to get to their electric BMWs in the secure parking lot to move through it.
Having just used it to interactively play around with PWM settings controlling some motors and solenoids for a music project, I found it much more useful than compiling a new firmware and flashing the microcontroller for every tweak I'm making. I don't have a very compelling reason to port it to anything else at this point, for doing control-rate (in other words: slow) updates to PWM outputs on a microcontroller, it works perfectly.
Data collection is more expensive, more time consuming, and usually more tedious than data analysis and paper writing. The people good at collection are not necessarily good at analysis and vice versa. More people enjoy analysis than collection. The results of the analysis are what is useful to the rest of society. Also, the people doing the analysis need to have very detailed input to its collection.

I was hoping stating it all together like that would make a solution more obvious, but I don't think it did. Having researchers commission data collection and every user having to pay would create barriers to entry we don't want.

To wildly speculate, NYC is much more walkable and has better public transit than SF. This puts the people more in touch with each other and increases the feeling of community, and also makes it harder to smash a car window when no one is looking.

Or maybe NYC is just bigger and the crime happens further away from where you personally live? The feeling of safety is so subjective.
The 30 pin adapter was better than all of the alternatives at the time. It took Apple 8 months to go from idea to shipping product. How much longer would it have taken if they had to wait for the government?

You really think consumers care more about replacing ten dollar cords for their phones than having to replace their phones because Android manufactures don’t provide support for their phones more than a year?

30 years ago, my computer had SCSI (which was a cross platform standard), ADB, and Nubus ports - all better than the industry standard. That would have never happened with government mandating standards. I used my own free will and voted with my dollars to choose to be incompatible- just like Apple users today.
Customer satisfaction is more trust-able.

The incentive for retaliation is simply customer unhappiness. Patients don't just sue doctors because doctors are sitting on a pile of money, people don't behave this way. Most People sue because they are pissed.

However if you caused someones death and don't want to go to jail... well that can be swept under the rug, people actually do behave this way.
