Because many methods of making money are cruel, a lot of stupid people develop an intuition that the best business decision no matter what is the one the people beneath you least want you to do. They see a world where they're trying to get all they can out of lazy employees that are constantly trying to get one over on them. Those employees' tricks are what is standing between them and retiring on passive income. This is like 85% of small business owners.

If you like working from home, working from home is bad for the business.

It's a bit protestant. Like the idea that food is unhealthy exactly to the degree of how good it tastes.
i agree that this is delusional and i see it repeated a lot -- homelessness isn't just a byproduct of a lack of housing or a lack of affordable housing.

i remember having a conversation with a LICSW who did a tremendous amount of work with drug addicted and homeless populations; she explained that when she really needed to, she could "beg, borrow, or steal" a way to find better housing for someone, but that really wasn't the crux of solving the individual's problems, it's only one facet.

even if someone who has untreated mental illness or drug addiction suddenly has a great new place to live, they're not going to stay at that address long if their other needs aren't treated.

i'm not saying there shouldn't be more affordable housing ASAP, or that it wouldn't radically improve some lives, but i get the impression that a lot of folks think homelessness is mainly a housing problem when it's really not so simple, and i think that needs to change if the problems have any chance at getting improved.

I would say what the main issue here is what PayPal allowed them to establish a business account (June 7th) and happily took money from their customers. Now both the company AND it's customers are fuc^W scammed out of their money.

Seems like Stripe doesn't have a problem with them (because they are incorporated in Delaware, not in Russia?)
Can you elaborate a bit on what you mean here? Possibly some examples?
It's even more bizarre when you consider that all of Tolkien's works are based on an incredibly Anglo Saxon/European centric view of the world.

I find it extremely ironic that people are so bent out of shape about a couple characters cast with darker skin. These must be the same people that have no clue that every character in their favorite book (The Bible, King James version) was non-white. These are most likely the same people with the historically inaccurate pictures of Jesus Christ as a caucasian man.

The two largest fantasy franchises in the world are Euro-centric white fantasy (Middle Earth and GoT). It isn't enough that our fantasy canon dominates the world, we need to have every actor be caucasian as well?
From that PR it seems partial compliance is what got them burned. They obviously knew what ads were political because they put some information about them up, but not all.

If they had simply not complied at all and tried to blame their customers for not classifying the ads correctly, it might have gone a bit better in their favor.

Related, it's still insane that companies can basically argue "this ad that thousands upon thousands will see cannot be reviewed by hand even once because that would be too hard".
Really interesting that Salt Lake is at the top, and that's the only city I know of that (at least reportedly) had an innovative solution to tackling homelessness. I just tried to search for their solution, but was overwhelmed by links from the past few months talking about how homelessness is swelling in that city. Perhaps every city is just dying of homelessness right now. Makes me wonder if those numbers for downtown recovery are manipulated or accurate. How to tell?
So the commercial real estate problem is real, but this article also is concerned with the impacts to the municipal government. How important are those really?

> The city’s budget office expects property tax revenues to continue to grow. But Howard Chernick, an economics professor at Hunter College and co-author of the report that forecast an up to 43% decline in SF’s property values, paints a much worse picture: His team sees a decline of up to 15% in property tax collections amounting to a roughly 4% drop in total revenues.

This data is several years old, but in a ranking of large American cities by budget per citizen, SF was at #2 only behind DC which is a kind of special case. At that time, the SF budget was 7.9B, whereas now it's 14B, which put it near $15.8K per person. I have to believe that our problem isn't actually fluctuations in property tax revenue but how we spend.

> So how did he make it to +3 position against #4 player in the world if he is so terrible?

There are two answers to this question. One is obvious and is the subject of the article we're all responding to: Cheating. Some people think he's cheating.

The other is that nobody actually thinks Hans is terrible. Even if he cheated he's still at least a 2500-level player and perfectly capable of taking the odd game off of super GMs. Being very good and cheating aren't mutually exclusive possibilities.

The word you want is conclusive. The interviews are certainly indicative, but they're very far from conclusive.

Yes, but there are still "greedy capitalist building owners" willing to sign up for the deal. So the taxes seems to be following supply and demand. At some point as the article claims, that may change. If/when it does, then both parties will change.

Yes, actually. It is.

Personally, I've been reading for 25 years about how "why are people wasting their time on $NICHE instead of contributing to $MAJORPROJECT" -specifically in the open source world. It becomes more and more grating and offensive every year.

If you have the ability to choose what you want to work on, then that is what you ought to work on. If you (generic "you") don't have a choice, then you have to do what you have to do and your limitations ought to not limit those who aren't limited or aren't in your situation.
Ending prohibition would, at best, depress prices and increase use. You don't need to legalize the use or sale of methamphetamine or fentanyl or crack to offer more mental health and preventative services.

How is it that on HN, people are complaining about being given a link to the git repo for the project source?!?

Not only that, but Oh no!!, there's no `README.md` or `INSTALL.md` yet in this 4-day old, 2-commit repository to tell users how to build it? How will they ever figure it out, and find the 25-line `Makefile` out of the... 6 files in the repo?

Seriously?
Part of this is tying property taxes to real property values (yes I know SF's hands are bound by CA law and prop 13 in particular).

These days I live in NZ here rates (the local name for our property tax equivalent) are determined by relative property values. Effectively the City decides it needs to raise $N this year - your property tax will be the fraction of this determined by the value of your land divided by the value of all the land in the city - times that $N.

What this means is that if all property values double (or halve) your property tax doesn't change.

If you're worried that cities will raise property tax too much - limit increases in that $N (you'll have to allow for simple inflation).

Sure, but if the choice is this in the immediate term vs "a government that enforces a high quality of life" in the maybe-but-not-for-certain long term, I'd much rather take steps in that direction instead of waiting for some mythical perfect situation to present itself.
Take a look at Vivaldi and see if it's what you're looking for. Broadly, Brave is pro-privacy and pro-crypto while Vivaldi is pro-privacy and anti-crypto.

Vivaldi is forked from Chromium directly rather than from Brave, but the similar pro-privacy stances mean that they remove or mitigate many of the same features. E.g. both disable FLOC, both have built-in ad-blockers, and both have committed to maintaining compatibility with ad-block extensions broken by Manifest V3. For what it's worth, Vivaldi is closed-source.

I suspect this will inevitably be blamed on greedy capitalist building
owners, but the crazy tax assessors have some blame here, too. They value
these buildings in the hundreds of millions of dollars and asses taxes
based on that valuation - and that was "ok" because the building owners
could extract that kind of value from the buildings by raising the rents.
Now they can't - but the valuation and the taxes owed stay the same. If
they hadn't tried to squeeze every last tax dollar out of the real estate
market in the first place, the buildings wouldn't have become so expensive
to begin with.

What?

Prop 13 ensures that most of these office buildings are not being taxed on the market value of the property. Prop 8 ensures that tax assessments go down when the market value of the property declines. Property tax is not the primary reason rent is so expensive in San Francisco.
While I agree prohibition certainly does more harm than good, spending time in parts of SF where crack/meth/heroin/fentanyl are effectively legal has convinced me a firm hand is also needed to contain the externalities. It destroys a place and makes it unlivable. You can't just allow it wherever.

I don't even think it's necessarily the taste of meat, but rather having something that is as widely compatible with recipes as what it is intended to replace.

For instance, some of these replacement items can't be boiled as one might in making a soup. It makes it difficult to complete a meal without refactoring the whole thing in some cases.

Plain meat is pretty... From what I recall typically doesn't have much taste without several additives like salt, butter, herbs typically marinated... You can do all that with the replacements, typically.
How? By letting them sleep inside? I don't understand.
Meth gives people lots of energy and prolonged use causes psychosis. Heroin makes people feel content and sleepy.

I don't think it's due for upstream until next year. You can pull it and mess with it now though if you're willing to buy the GPU from eBay or China. I haven't seen any US/Europe retail postings yet. For most it's fair to say it's not actually available yet though.

I'm sad they got rid of GVT-g with the change though. SR-IOV is definitely a nice add but it has downsides on the resource sharing. Undoubtedly GVT-g was just considered too unsafe and too niche to keep though.
That data is 3 years old, and only accounts for reported crime. If you look at the numbers for 2021, it doesn't look so good - and that doesn't account for all of the non-reported crime, or incidents where the cops just don't show up.

Had to deal with this same issue when I had a program supporting plugins, DLLs compiled with Delphi would turn on all the floating point traps. Took a while to track down what was causing FP faults in comctl32.dll. It got so bad that I had to put in a popup dialog that would name and shame the offending DLL so the authors would fix their broken plugins. It's an ABI violation in Windows since the ABI specifically defines FPU exceptions as masked, so this was more egregious than just turning on FTZ/DAZ (which Intel-compiled DLLs did).

Many of these same DLLs would also hijack SetUnhandledExceptionFilter() for their custom exception support, which would also result in hard fastfail crashes when they failed to unhook properly. Ended up having to hotpatch SetUnhandledExceptionFilter() Detours-style to prevent my crash reporting filter from being overridden. Years later, Microsoft revealed that Office had done the same thing for the same reasons.

The new version of this problem is DLLs that use AVX instructions and then don't execute a VZEROALL/VZEROUPPER instruction before returning. This is more sinister as it doesn't cause a failure, it just causes SSE2 code to run up to four times slower in the thread.

Say we are weighing the probability of the lab leak hypothesis being correct. Incoming evidence suggests a lab leak is hurtful to a wider array of institutions and individuals than assumed originally. We use this new evidence, along with previous beliefs on how likely lab leak would be in the first place based on priors like biosafety violation and spillover history and statements made by the above-mentioned individuals and institutions (considered authoritative, but now found possibly in conflict of interest), to form a new belief which we then use as a new prior when assessing how likely it is that the lab leak hypothesis is correct. End result: lab leak hypothesis being correct is assigned a lower prior likelihood and will require stronger evidence. Do we disagree on substance?
PayPal doesn't care. A lot of artists use it for commissions, since it's really the easiest way to send money from person to person, and I've heard so many horror stories of artists getting their accounts locked for no apparent reason.

It's great to see parts of the US government embracing RISC-V and SiFive.

Perhaps there was some selective pressure, where the owners, who could accurately use this new form of poovayance, had a higher chance of survival, especially in northern climates where it can be more difficult to find North. These owners went on to survive, along with their gifted dogs. Maybe your dog is of southern descent.

Or, perhaps an insightful breeder realized that their dog was throwing directional lots [1], after looking for their bag of bone lots that had be eaten in secret, and capitalized on it.

This data is several years old, but in a ranking of large American cities by budget per citizen

That is an incredibly disingenuous metric and it's not surprising at all that DC and SF are at the top of the list. Washington DC is a quasi-state masquerading as a city and San Francisco is a consolidated city and county. The budgets of those two cities encompass things that are externalized in other cities.
You'll be subsidizing their drug habit, and increasing the number of homeless, mentally ill, and drug addicted people that reside in your city that taxes will have to pay for (simply to exist in the houses you gave them, and keep abusing drugs). Of course it won't be cost effective because it's not accomplishing anything except paying them to ruin whatever building you give them, which they likely won't stay in anyways. They're out there because they want to be out there doing drugs. At the very least, the drug addiction would have to be stopped, which isn't likely in any case, but certainly not by just giving them a house.

There's an entire thriving economy in SF with jobs these people could be doing. What aren't they doing them? If cost of living is too expensive there, why not go to a cheaper city and do work there? If they have skills to be a white collar worker, SF is a great place to do that work and easily afford housing. Why aren't they doing it? Mental illness and drugs dominate the problem by such an order of magnitude that anything else save for harsh imprisonment to get off streets....especially subsidization of their lifestyle, will accomplish less than nothing.
