We got rid of institutionalization for very good reason. Many of them outright abused the people under their care. Cleaning up the system is hard. Many of the homeless have mental issues such that they cannot figure out how to report abuse even if it would be listened to, and of course institutions have easy means to ensure you can't report things. (or you can report, but the person doing the abuse investigates and finds nothing wrong)
I have the same problem as you, but I just tell everyone that all official requests have to go through email because my memory is bad. Then it's a lot easier for me to track. Wayyyyy too many people tried to manage me by just walking by and spitting out some random tasker they needed done.
I won't engage any further. I see that I won't be able to convince you in the opposite, so there's no reason for me to try to "defend" my argument :-) And your "command" is kinda rude, regardless.

>I believe the given reason for a capital gains tax is to promote investment.

Right. That's the regressive nature of it. Benefitting the investor class at the expense of social programs.

Let's reverse that for a second. I could do a whole hell of a lot of investing in myself with the extra 20 grand a year in my pocket that being taxed at a capital gains rate and not paying FICA would leave me with.
Implying that if you don't want to live in rule based housing you should be institutionalized ?
Needs less rhetoric and more numbers
It’s not strictly necessary for the government to provide everything that might interest more than a single person, so the premise of your rebuttal is already flawed.

I have no clue how people are ok with the government squandering away hard earned money. If people would like to donate to the government they are free to do so. Otherwise demand effective use of the tax or minimize collection.

To put it another way, should all of your income be taxed and you simply receive some sort of stipend from the government? Why or why not? Low efficiency is a problem because the alternative is population driven allocation which is definitionally superior in such a scenario.
To my mind this is an example of a failing in the federation system in the USA.
First off, I hope we can agree that the homelessness problem in the US is not normal and not something a developed wealthy country should have (just so we are all on the same page).

The problem I see is that no state can unilaterally fix the housing problem because if they do, the unhoused from the other states are incentivized to move to the "fixed" state, overwhelming their resources and efforts. And yet, homelessness seems to be left to the states to solve.

Well the post you are commenting on is the original developer of both the game and SCUMM, so it is not really a decompilation. That said it would be cool to get a commented version of the original code if that exist.

Also the tasvideos forum is nice to lean about games on though they are not much for point and click games.
It's probably worth noting in this context that while I believe Allstate is publicly traded and for-profit, State Farm is neither. It's a mutual - it's owned by its customers and its excess rates go back to them as dividends. There could still certainly be shenanigans, but not quite the same kind.

Sure, I think a lot of people would think about it this way - but that just means they don’t have any real expertise.

Kaspersky says:

“We believe that the main reason for this incident is the proprietary nature of iOS.”

If the proprietary nature is the main reason for the incident, then Android should have been overwhelmingly more secure all along, and they should know this.

If they are only just figuring this out now, then they have been ludicrously ignorant for people who claim to be experts.

Occam’s razor says they really aren’t as expert as their marketing claims and they are trying to save face by blaming Apple.

Given that the Kremlin is blaming Apple and the NSA, perhaps Kaspersky is trying to deflect blame for not having warned Russian diplomats about the issue.
It's a ridiculous phrase especially when you're talking about taxes. It's just meant to rile up proletariat so they can be mad at those big bad billionaires over something else (or more accurately, the same thing again).

It's just nonsense propaganda.

There are always more homeless people in the city than in tiny rural towns, because the homeless people in the tiny rural towns move toward the city or get chased out.

It's also true that there are numbers of people in those far rural communities that would end up quite homeless if you forced them into the city. Imagine someone on social security living in a dilapidated trailer on some worthless piece of land.

And also homeless people, even the mentally ill and drug addicted are not stupid. They will go where they get the least hassle and the most benefit. And it's widely known that California is the place to be.
I have always been disgusted by this sort of low, mediocre, pseudo-moral argument. "Why build these grand churches? You could feed people with that money!" "Why put all this effort into beautiful buildings? You could build more low-income housing for the same cash!" It sickens me.

We can do both. Man does not live by bread alone. Utilitarian mediocrity is satisfied with a full stomach and keeping warm.
Could you mention one of them?
I have to admit that I extended the filters to include email sent to selected distribution groups and from one or two specific colleagues. Also any email that was cc'ed to me from certain other colleagues - the ones who cc loads of people. Got more done that way.

(In a large educational establishment, not IT).
Two issues.

First, homeless people tend to be much less likely to have the wherewithal to prove residency, either due to substance problems, difficulty navigating bureaucracy, or just not having the money to chase down paperwork or a safe place to store it. So hurdles like "being local", essentially whatever it means, could prove to be a huge barrier to uptake of your programs.

Second, "solving homelessness" for just one subset of homeless people may not actually provide the benefit you hope for. You might still have tent cities, RV encampments, people using drugs outdoors, etc. Now the people doing that are from just past city limits and entitled to no support.
Your rationale is that Russia is an evil empire trying to expand its borders to its former glory, and that's why it attacked Ukraine... a primary school level of simplification.

Disagree. Replace "evil empire" with "Old-school imperialist power" and you have a 90 percent approximation to the essential truth about that country (or its current leadership, in any case). For all its banality.

Though "evil" of course is not a misplaced word to use either, in regard to its actions.
Ok but the fact of there being some construction going on is somewhat ancillary to the whole point being made of the various factors observed and at play here that come together and raise some questions. I could have easily left the “what is the rate” part out, and the points made would have been just as strong or stronger.

And yes there was some sort of maintenance/construction going on, and if that played a role in the fire one would think at some point in the intervening years between then and now someone would have shown how it played a role.

Your argument is that an immigrant would rather be homeless in the US than housed in their home country?

Almost no data backs that up.
For some people lack of GPIO, increased power usage with the need for active cooling, and a 40% price bump will be offset by the advantages of faster CPU, x86, and the storage. It feels more like something that will live adjacent to the Pi 4 rather than killing it, to be honest.

> If you want just the board, the case is easy to strip off.

On the contrary, I think I'd be worried running it without the case and cooling.
Inadequate reporting is not a partisan or ideological issue.
My family and I were having a chaotic political argument about the policies of a school district 2,000 miles away when I realized we need to focus. We either need to talk about a specific event or general ideas about what should happen. It's very easy to alternate back and forth. If we're talking about specifics, let's look up and read the actual policy of the school district. If we're talking in general, then stop referring to one school district 2,000 miles away as evidence that it's a wide spread trend, and let's see if we can agree, in general, on the way things should be in the abstract.

Which brings me to my point, and my advice. Focus on feelings and abstract beliefs first. Don't talk about (e.g.) the specific spending bill, talk about whether military defense or caring for the poor is more important from a personal and moral perspective. Make it a small conversation, leave the paid-for "facts" out of it. What do you and I believe? Can we find common ground? After we find some common ground on a small scale, maybe we can talk about a larger scale. Maybe then we can look at the facts.
But it would have been ugly.
No, because definitionally the money was better spent by the rich people. Note: I am not saying that this is the case, but the constructed scenario already supposes that.
"Write your entire app in SQL" is a perfectly sensible thing to say and do. I've done it. PostgREST and related projects make it real easy, and then you don't have to wish you could have sum types in SQL like TFA does.

In terms of hardware, RDX cartridges are just bog-standard SATA hard drives in proprietary enclosures, so no more or less reliable than SATA hard drives in equivalently rugged USB enclosures.

I'd actually argue that RDX carts are a bit worse than ordinary USB external hard drives in long-term archival applications, due to an unusual design decision: the SATA hard drives internal to RDX cartridges are locked with factory-preset ATA passwords that serve no apparent purpose other than to make them non-interoperable with standard SATA ports and enclosures, which are more common than RDX drives by several orders of magnitude.
I agree with the article, LangChain is both fun and good technology (I am biased, my latest book is on LangChain - you can read it free at https://leanpub.com/langchain using the Free to Read Online link).

LlamaIndex is another library that facilitates building applications using OpenAI and Hugging Face APIs (and running local models). LlamaIndex and LangChain are useful together.

It is one thing to play with the ChatGPT web app (or mobile apps), but I think it is a better thing to write your own code to use your own text documents (and Google Docs, etc.).

Not sure why you were downvoted. Using taxes as a form of punishment thrown around all over the place. Taxes should be for funding the government not for punishing the people.

Non-uniform income taxes are banned by the state constitution. A flat tax on all income, regardless of amount, would have been legal.

L.A.H.S.A.’s 2019 homeless count found that 64 percent of the 58,936 Los Angeles County residents experiencing homelessness had lived in the city for more than 10 years. Less than a fifth (18 percent) said they had lived out of state before becoming homeless.
There are. And they're vastly undercounted. Au contraire, the HI govt often deports the homeless off the island
I like how this article is based on a numerical claim + therefore it includes the actual number and explains how they calculated it
A fixed allocation to a one-size-fits-all tail risk fund doesn't work. It won't have positive returns over the long run. And its diversification benefit will not be enough to overcome the drag on performance.

A tail risk strategy that is tailored to the portfolio, point in time, in an opportunistic way (e.g., when vol is cheap) can potentially work. But you need a strat like that to be part of the portfolio construction process.

I dont believe that is what they are doing.

William Gibson's Visionary 2003 Director's Guild Speech
That's not necessarily true, it depends how inefficient the government is. for example, in my city the city controls trash pickup and tried to social engineer more composting/recycling by cutting trash pickup days to once every two weeks instead of every week. A private enterprise has sprung up offering the second pickup for the same price the city charges. They are able to provide that in the vastly less efficient setup of only a few people on each block using them, the city being dicks and not letting them collect from the city provided trash cans, etc. That tells you for this service the correct thing for the city to do is fire all the inefficient people they are employing and support private enterprise in gaining the efficiencies from automation and a bigger market and providing an even lower cost service. I suspect there are tons of services the city provides that are extremely inefficient as above.
It's more than this though. Families can't stay together, belongings get stolen, safety can be an issue, you can't bring your pets, etc. There are a lot of reasons those kinds of shelter can't work for some people.
> more input still leads to more output.

Not when people are involved
How the government spends it is a massively less important consideration than preventing the rich from having it.

Money is power, and too much power in too few hands is a real threat to national security and the integrity of a republic.

If the big banks can say "bail me out or else" or any of these billionaires can say "If you try to hold me accountable I will make it hurt," how much freedom from tyranny do we really have?

Rationally, yes.

There are a lot of irrational people on the Internet very quick to lump anything into an incoherent conspiracy and start flooding you with hate; for example, nearly every song on Youtube has a comment saying the song has Satanic or Illuminati references, or whatever flavor of conspiracy you like.

I can't imagine wanting to run this in the summer. Unless I really needed to see output in realtime, better to use it in a remote data center.
Tell me a language where a string isnt an ordered sequence of elements of some atomic text-like data type. Those may have different types - like utf8 bytes, bytes, unicode code points, grapheme clusters etc. But these are all some sort of representation of text at some level. Which one a programming language uses depends on the language, and should be checked in the documentation. Its not like some obscure “check page 2000” of the doc type small print, implying that you need to read 18 tomes of language doc before u can work with the language —- no, but if u want to work with strings in any programming language, u should know what type the elements consist of.

Btw, python my try to overload the meaning of the words array and list, but the word “array” has a generic meaning in this branch of math called computer science (an ordered sequence of elements indexible in O(1)), which is how I used it here.
That brings me back. Strang probably saved my computer science degree. That professor I had in linear algebra and me really couldn't communicate and without Strangs lectures (to his credit, my professor recommended them) I wouldn't have stood a chance.

Thanks, professor. And enjoy your well-earned retirement.

I live in a midsize city outside of California that has 3 shelters downtown. 1 shelter dropped the sober requirement trying to house those people. They had to reinstate the rules within 24h because 2 employees had been assaulted, and a serious fight had broken out that required hospital care for both people involved. It is sad state of affairs.
> The obvious thought that occurs to me is UI - how are users going to access this hypothetical application? If it's via the web, then you'll need a whole setup for generating HTML, and doing that in SQL sounds extremely painful. If it's a native app, then you've got to interact with the OS somehow to do things like draw to the screen, and I've never even heard of trying to do that from SQL.

Generating HTML?? No, generate UI declarations from the SQL schema (enriched with extra metadata) then interpret those in JS in minimal static pages that use JS to talk to PostgREST.

PG has a `COMMENT` statement that can be used to attach commentary to every single schema element -- tables, columns, views, indices, etc., all can have free-form commentary. Use JSON COMMENTs and then extract the whole schema using the pg_catalog as one big JSON blob, then post-process to generate UIs. See below for links.

I'm Tanul Christian, a versatile full-stack Django developer with 4 years of experience in Python.

Currently, I'm focused on developing and maintaining a custom ERP system using Django, while also exploring machine learning and home automation projects.

I acquired a strong command of the entire stack required for full-stack development, including Docker, Git, Linux, and JavaScript frameworks.

Additionally, I actively contribute to open-source projects, and I'm always eager to learn new technologies and explore
opportunities for growth.

I thrive in startup environments or small teams that appreciate innovation and autonomy, and I bring a personal and hands-on
approach to my work, aiming to create well-structured projects with best practices.
It really seems like we ought to be forcibly funneling everyone either into a shelter or into a jail[0]/rehab-diversion. Persons incompatible with housing should be arrested, tried, and sent to jail or diverted to a rehab-type program for violating the laws that make them incompatible. Not so much a "housing first" policy as a 'housing mandatory' policy, coupled with enforcement of laws against things like property damage and illegal drug use.

[0]For illegally camping, if nothing else. This of course would require adequate production of shelter beds for legal and ethical reasons.
If that’s the concern there’s no need for tax, simply have a wealth limit. Agree or disagree?
They certainly exist. https://www.hmismn.org/point-in-time-count-information

But you have to have some form of shelter to survive -40, which means that nature itself forces something (or you just die).

(Note the homeless veterans, that's just an absolute embarrassment to the country as a whole; something major should be done like just re-activating them and providing housing).
I hope you never end up on the other side of the situation and have to see people on the Internet write about you in such contempt like this.
