Yep. And I’m still on the fence about how to tackle that, but I’ve got some ideas.

My favored approach is to use what I’m calling a “this goes here, that goes there” syntax.

The idea is to give designers a conceptual framework that mimics how they understand layout, and allows them to describe positioning using a syntax that feels as close to natural language as possible.

Much easier said than done, of course. And there are good arguments for allowing the platform dialects to handle those more complex features (in addition to things like scrolling and animation).
Yes. Everything is guaranteed issue unless you go with one of those weird Christian health insurance things. Insurance companies can't deny coverage now because of a pre-existing condition, and they can't go back and deny claims because of something someone put on an application. No one gets their insurance dropped because they get bone cancer and THEN a claims adjuster went and poured over their original application.

https://www.kff.org/health-reform/issue-brief/pre-existing-c...

"Before private insurance market rules in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) took effect in 2014, health insurance sold in the individual market in most states was medically underwritten.1 That means insurers evaluated the health status, health history, and other risk factors of applicants to determine whether and under what terms to issue coverage."

"Prior to the ACA’s coverage expansions, we estimated that 18% of individual market applications were denied. This is an underestimate of the impact of medical underwriting because many people with health conditions did not apply because they knew or were informed by an agent that they would not be accepted. Denial rates ranged from 0% in a handful of states with guaranteed issue to 33% in Kentucky, North Carolina, and Ohio. According to 2008 data from America’s Health Insurance Plans, denial rates ranged from about 5% for children to 29% for adults age 60-64 (again, not accounting for those who did not apply)."
> They should plaster the neighborhood in warning notices a month before the event

I grew up in Seattle but lived in Philly for 2 years and this was one of the strangest things to me. In many cases they don't post _any notices at all._

I knew enough people who got "courtesy" towed with no records that I added a GPS tracker to our car to make sure I could find it.

Keep in mind that bigger models are coming. And to use all features of even the current SD version, you need a lot of VRAM - 12GB for textual inversion (making it learn your own style), 30GB+ for Dreambooth (sort of micro-finetuning that doesn't need a GPU farm and a huge tagged dataset), a lot for img2img on a high-res picture. It also massively benefits from the large amount of compute cores.

Right now, the bigger and faster, the better. And there's really no limit of the computing power you can throw at various tasks to make them run better. It almost looks like 90s again.

OTOH, having a poorly paid job in a rich country can be better than being rich in a poor country..

Read one of the Reddit threads about "What did you notice most when you moved from a poor country to a rich country?" It's pretty eye opening. Some stuff that I remember:

- Stuff that breaks (vending machines, bathrooms, etc.) usually gets repaired instead of just being broken from then on

- Government officials don't demand bribes everywhere you go

- You have rights, you can't just be jailed or worse for no reason, even if you criticize the government

- Buildings are well constructed and aren't in danger of collapse / burning down due to electrical faults / gas explosions

- Police, fire and ambulance come reasonably quickly and do their jobs reasonably well

- No matter how poor you are, you're not just left to fend for yourself, there are some safety nets

The best life hack is to live in places off the beaten path in a rich country, e.g. the Rust Belt in the US. Bonus points if you can work remotely for a company that pays big-city wages.
It doesn't need to be turn based, though it does need relatively self contained actions and avoiding unfortunate race conditions could be tricky.

After reading the article but before reading the comments, I thought to myself, people will defend all manner of awful things, even when they’re this clear cut. Sure wish I’d been wrong.

Being forcibly detained is traumatic. Especially when you know you’re being detained wrongly. I’m speaking from experience here, and as someone who has received a settlement in a wrongful arrest suit.

There’s nothing reasonable about armed officers of the state putting someone in handcuffs without any prior effort to ascertain the appropriateness of that person being in handcuffs. Asking for license and registration is routine. If anything after that suggests they have actually stopped a car thief, the next appropriate action might be to forcibly detain them. It might also be more appropriate to question them further without force.

Putting a car’s rightful owner in handcuffs because their car had been towed without their knowledge, and they understandably reported it stolen when it wasn’t where they’d left it, and then they had the temerity to drive their own car after it had been recovered, is cruel. All of the prior facts would already be unbelievably stressful for most people. And of course no random cop is gonna know all of those prior facts, but that’s why they should ask questions before acting.

Let me reiterate: being forced into constraints by armed agents of the state who have broad authority, and get broad allowance, to use their monopoly on violence is terrifying. It’s even more terrifying when you know you’ve done nothing to warrant it, and especially when you’re being treated that way because of other wrongs done to you.
I think leaving it was the morally right thing to do, and in light of the way the world was before and the way it changed for the better away from colonialism, it was the only right thing to do.

The "posted signs" thing is an unimpressive solution in 2022 imho and they should really email you or text you "hey move your car please" etc.

As a thought experiment, imagine that the city government was motivated to find a car's owner for some reason, perhaps as a suspect or witness of a serious crime etc. Meaning if they have your plate number and think you're a murderer, they will definitely find you and communicate with you (the message that they communicate will be "come to the police station").

I claim this is a proof by construction that they could communicate with you by some method other than posted signs, if they actually wanted to. And they just choose to do the laziest possible "post signs" solution because of basically incompetence/laziness, not because there's no other way for them to identify and communicate with a car's owner.

Most of the similar scams I've seen don't involve entering and showing the property, or being even anywhere near it. A common style is to post a duplicated listing on Craigslist (it may be a house currently on the market, but often is an inactive listing on Zillow - they just need an address and matching photos) with a story written in a style that would be familiar to scam aficionados. The owner is a god-fearing good person who just wants their house to be safe while they are overseas on missionary work or in the military, and they're willing to rent it to the right people for a generous below market rate. Kindly do this-or-that, god bless you, etc. They request a sum of money, making it enticing by naming a rate 3/4 of what would be going rent for the property, and say they'll mail the key.

> That’s the Philly euphemism for what is formally known as “relocation towing” — when the police department, Philadelphia Parking Authority, or a private towing company moves vehicles from legal parking spots for special events, construction or emergencies.

> Problem is, the city doesn’t have a modern, reliable way to track the vehicles’ new locations, leaving owners wandering the streets for days or weeks, looking for their cars.

This would normally be the part where I (and probably half the other people reading HN) would say that building a modern, reliable way to track this is not hard. We'd go on to outline something involving a database, probably a mobile app for the tow truck drivers, and probably a web site for car owners. We'd probably say this is a small project that could be done by a handful of developers in a few weeks and would be fairly inexpensive.

Others would then tell us that we are vastly underestimating the difficulties of dealing with the mess that city IT tends to be, and that "fairly inexpensive" would still be expensive enough that there would have to be budget meetings and studies, and maybe the web site would need to support multiple languages, and a ton of other things we've overlooked.

So I'm not going to suggest that a modern, reliable way to track this would be easy.

But why does it have to be modern? What would be wrong with an old-fashioned approach?

Require the tow truck drivers to report the license plate numbers and drop off locations and drop off date/time to the police or perhaps some other government entity which can add the information to a list.

When an owner finds their car missing and contacts the police, the police can check the list and tell the owner where the car is and remove it from that list, and add it to a log of past courtesy tows along with a timestamp.

If the owner finds that their car got ticketed at the new location before they could reasonably retrieve it the log of past courtesy tows could be used to prove that the owner did not park at the new location.

This requires:

1. Tow truck drivers have a way to report the information. Voice or text from their cell phone to a phone number maintained by the police specifically for this would cover that.

2. The police need to maintain a list of these reports. This can be handled by having them copy the information to an index card and file the card alphabetically by license number in a card file.

3. Car owners or police called by car owners need a way to check the list. They can call the same number from #1, and the people that file incoming reports can also handle checking the card file.

4. The police needs to maintain the log. That's another, bigger, card file.

So basically we need a phone line, someone who will answer that phone, a file clerk with enough time to handle these, enough card files to hold the recent records, probably a shelf or two in an office to hold those card files, and a bigger card storage system for the historical log.
You're saying the answer to:

> This passage does something by preventing them from being so classified. Right?

Is no, the passage doesn't do anything (anymore)?

[EDIT] I think you think I think some stuff I don't. I don't even know what you're talking about when you claim it doesn't mean "what I think it means". You claimed the passage doesn't mean what another poster thinks it means, I asked what it does in fact mean, i.e. what would happen if the passage were absent, and then you told me that question was irrelevant (why?), and then this post, which also seems to be addressing some other person or something... but maybe is addressing what I actually asked? I can't tell.

[EDIT AGAIN] Hell, the wikipedia article you cited even seems to back up the (other poster's) interpretation you were claiming was wrong. I am so confused.

If you look at the German one (it's the one I know best) it took in learnings from a) failures of previous iterations in German, but also b) from constitutions like the American as the Allies consulted and had to agree on it.

Maybe the American survived for so long as for one it changed quite a bit over time, via amendments and via interpretation.

And mind: America had a civil war ... but then found a way to reunite under the constitution (with three amendments) that could also have torn it apart easily.

Interesting project but I've always half-consciously avoided self-hosted affiliate programs because of one simple reason: trust.

My (possibly misguided) thought is that when dealing with self-hosted referral tracking the affiliate needs to trust that their commission is being tracked properly. But when the SaaS controls the database themselves the affiliate is putting a huge amount of trust in them that tracking is working. And if it isn't working, it seems suspicious at best and fraudulent at worst.

With third party tracking you have external "proof" if presented with compliance or legal needs.

With that said, I see they do offer a hosted option, which is interesting too.
