It seems to me a huge bank like Bank of America is well-capitalized to start a huge investment project into a troubled area of a city that will:

1. provide wealth to it's residents
2. fix crime and blight
3. help alleviate housing affordability crisis

Right now, a troubled area might have housing wealth be 1/4 of a nearby affluent area. But generally, this is simply because of crime and bad schools due to the cycle of poverty. If you're able to quickly alleviate the crime and poverty, suddenly that troubled area is basically as desirable for housing as the rest of the area.

Now, usually, this "gentrification" process has happened slower, over decades, and without the corresponding wealth accrual of its current residents. So it doesn't work out for the current residents and the clash between people is much harsher.

But what if all the wealth that was created when a $300k East Oakland home becomes $1m, was equally shared between investment and residents? Could you pay people (give them some type of community job) and/or make sure everyone has housing equity, to break that cycle, stop the crime, so that everyone wins?

It feels doable if tackled on a large scale, what am I missing?
`Of or relating to pharmacy or pharmacists.`

You probably aren't getting marijuana from a pharmacy and no pharmaceutical company has a patent on marijuana, which I think both technically and colloquially puts it well outside of the realm of pharmaceuticals.

Gee, Weird how a little realism is somehow making a downward mobility.

The fact is that a good deal of workers are struggling to get by while the folks at the top get bonuses equal to more than a few weeks pay. Being realistic, even when hidden under a layer of sarcasm, is preferable lest things not change.

> This model can be used to disrupt any marketplace from AirBNB to UberEats: building tech for home renters and restaurants and later, leveraging that to build a competing marketplace.

Because the value in a marketplace is the people, not the tech. Here's a thought experiment: if Amazon were to open-source their entire marketplace tomorrow, what would change? My answer is: close to nothing.

What makes marketplaces so hard is that you need people - on both the demand and supply sides.

You seem to have a good handle on the tech and the way that businesses use it, so keep talking to people and I'm confident that you'll find a valuable niche! People will find the quality of your work very compelling.
They gave me opiods after an invasive surgery that had me on crutches for a month. That stuff was strong enough that I could not safely crutch to the bathroom, I was too dizzy. Switched to low dose edibles and had no problem falling asleep, they didn't make it impossible to get to the bathroom safely, and I didn't have to worry about addiction.

There were plenty of pre-mortems! :D

Obviously we all knew of things like Star Fox 64 which is still really just a 2D game in many ways (following a fixed route), the idea was to not be on a fixed route and be free roaming.

We tried putting the player and all NPCs on a height-map - so effectively your vertical movement was based on a height map, which meant everything was vertically aligned - it was the closest it got to being decent (not sure why it didn't make it to the demo). It did allow rapid movement, less concern about targeting, and avoidance of low buildings, etc. (which allowed some of the Defender pace). However watching your bullets going up n down along a height map was weird.

But even then the free roaming nature of the levels meant that there wasn't ever an urgency to get to a place and do a thing. Each level would have targets to get to within a certain time, but then it was going away from shoot-'em up into capture-the-flag. Really it was misguided from the start.

By the time we'd tried lots of different options we'd run out of cash. I was 21 at the time, and it was pretty much my first software engineering job (I did do some educational software before that, but nothing at this level). So I wasn't perhaps as reflective then as I am now - and I left the company not long after.

Having a distinct boolean type prevents this error (fortunately detectable with linters, so pay attention to your linter output):

if(n = 5) { ... }

When the author probably meant:

if(n == 5) { ... }

In languages where the assignment statement can also be used in expressions (as it evaluates to the value being assigned) the above can create very subtle errors in a program. Having a distinct boolean means that the type system will reject that. Of course, it wouldn't reject this:

if(b = true) { ... }

But that's something you generally shouldn't write anyways (and, again, your linter will probably catch).

From the standpoint of someone who did not agree with that legislation or the subsequent follow on changes that pulled on even more… and several less internationally noticed little legal things… We squawked, as loudly as we could, but it made no difference, because they went and did it anyway. So it wasn’t even a strangled squawk, but a completely ignored squawk.

A substantial perk would be subsidized housing. A modern fab can cost ~$20B (maybe more in the US) and obviously the planning and permit process is likely also a couple order of magnitudes more difficult than normal real estate development.

Spending ~$100M on employee housing would make the compensation a lot more competitive since software salaries are high but tend to be located in HCOL areas. Spend another ~$100M on training and education facilities and I think you could attract a lot of Americans right of of high school. Even if it still a bit less competitive than software it could still be the second best career industry.

I think the industry already partly does this but doing it on a larger scale and marketing it as an alternative to college would make it more compelling. I think the industry is still like many other large industries that really want a degree in some engineering despite it not necessarily being very applicable to fab work.

unfortunately yes - I was in charge of this decision as a previous employer and I went with Macs+JAMF even though I'm a die hard Linux user. My work around was to run a fullscreen Linux VM but that does defeat the purpose somewhat.

Views like the ones you are expressing are dangerous and bad for the world, and I hope you grow to understand that.

The ability that you have to equate affinity/addiction to "good/quality" is downright creepy, and sadly symptomatic of literally the worst bits of all of technology.

It's not producing enough power, so it's not "enough".

I was just discussing this sort of thing with some colleagues. Because the stack frame for main contains a bunch of other stuff - environment variables, cli args, etc - it makes it unreliable to try to instrument Linux systems and collect that information. A process can change its name, args, env, at any time. That sort of information is really helpful for forensics.

Currently your only option is to pull data directly from kernel structures, which is fine, but most people aren't doing that.

And then of course there's other cool stuff like being able to 'lock' system calls to the system provided libc, which openbsd can do since they already only support their provided libc.

Unfortunately none of this is likely to get to Linux at any point because:

a) I bet some insane userland processes fuck with their stacks

b) Linux doesn't mandate any libc

edit: Seems like there's some "what is this" being asked. Here's my loose understand!

For starters, libc is the interface to the kernel. Very few programs make syscalls directly (except go programs i guess? lol) on Linux, but on openbsd it's just flat out not allowed. OpenBSD doesn't have the "GNU/Linux" dichotomy - it's all one package deal. As such, they get to mandate how userland calls into the kernel.

Of course, you don't have to listen to openbsd today, because you can just... make those system calls directly. Easy. And this is relevant for security because attackers will do something called ROP, which effectively "reuses" bits of your already-executable code to issue system calls (you can google "return to libc" or "ret2libc").

So, first thing's first, have the kernel actually ensure that the sycall is issued from the memory that libc is mapped into. Cool, solved sort of.

But what if the attacker overwrites that libc? Now you've verified that the call is coming from libc but you don't have integrity.

With immutability the kernel will now enforce that system calls come from libc and that the code can't be overwritten.

Of course, this can extend beyond libc, but I'm assuming that's the main point. This would presumably be a general system call that programs can use themselves to do all sorts of fun things.

edit: Can't respond to replies, HN rate limited me :) sorry. Sounds like I need to read up a bit more, this doesn't address the use case I'd had in mind sadly, but still very cool nonetheless.

Completely agree. I see others are not liking this comment. I suspect they have an interest in young people continuing to slave themselves for less and less. The cold truth is that young people can cause a hell of a lot of trouble if they do it en mass. I encourage them to not only enjoy their lives but to be ready to buck the system hard when the time comes. This world can't continue this way and the ones pushing for it are not going to stop and cut the youth a fair deal until they feel their backs against the wall and the real fear sets in. They are a thick bunch, you have to get through to them this way.
The story that links to:

> The varying ‘effectiveness’ rates miss the most important point: The vaccines were all 100 per cent effective in the vaccine trials in stopping hospitalisations and death.

Only mention of that "100 percent" in it.

Is that wrong? Were there hospitalizations or deaths among the vaccinated in the vaccine trials?

Agreed the headline sucks, but reporting in general is terrible so that's no surprise.

[EDIT] Oh there's also:

> The numbers Americans should be emphasising are that all three vaccines have proven 100 per cent effective at preventing deaths. The risk of hospitalisation also plummets to virtually zero for people who receive the vaccine.

But the article's so chopped-up and shitty that it's hard to tell what the context of this was. Probably similar to the other quote above.

Samsung Recent Security Incident
Yes, it's prohibited at the federal level, but the state laws on that vary, and the states are generally the ones doing the enforcement. An example, in Mississippi (http://billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/documents/2022/pdf/SB/2001-...):

> A registered qualifying patient or registered designated
caregiver shall not be denied the right to own, purchase or
possess a firearm, firearm accessory or ammunition based solely on his or her status as a registered qualifying patient or registered designated caregiver. No state or local agency, municipal or county governing authority shall restrict, revoke, suspend or otherwise infringe upon the right of a person to own, purchase or possess a firearm, firearm accessory or ammunition or any related firearms license or certification based solely on his or her status as a registered qualifying patient or registered designated caregiver.

Edit: By enforcement, I mean that it's not going to be the FBI or the ATF that knocks on your door if it's discovered you have purchased a firearm with a medical marijuana card but the state, county, or municipal police. The feds might go after the store, though.
Saying that you're building an open source Amazon to complete with Amazon is like saying that you're working on an audio player skin to compete with Winamp.

Is my understanding correct that: The leverage comes from lowering the seller’s switching cost to go to/add another market place by intermediating the seller/market place relationship with open-ship. That way when you release the open marketplace open-front you can get easy discoverability and a very low switching/adding cost from an existing set of sellers?
Yes! apparently the only reason why this thing was discovered and talked about was because a trailer taking contaminated rebar to the US passed near a military airbase that had reactive material detector and detected the contaminated material. Then the US blew the whistle and pushed Mexico to do a proper investigation.

Otherwise, Mexico (my country) being Mexico, I am sure nobody would have known anything about it. Specially during that time when we had a "soft dictatorship" that buried all bad things under the ground (not that nowadays is that much different...)

Anyway, thanks for the read, I have always found very interesting to know the extent of the contamination.
