>spent $17b on homelessness

>oakland has 40 shelter beds

Where is the money going, I wonder? The article alludes to it, but I wish they would have gone farther in following the money; I suspect a lot of the spending goes to overtime for police on enforcement actions, as opposed to any long term solutions.
I knew all this time that I was procrastinating for a good reason.
In the 80's, Embrapa (same research agency) discovered a way to grow Soy in the Midwest/cerrado... And that's how today Brazil is the largest soy exporter in the world.
Before the 80's, soy was only grown in the South of Brazil (and Brazil imported soy at the time as I recall).

Currently, wheat is also only grown in the South as well.

Now, things are not simple. The wheat prices will need to be competitive to make farmers plant wheat instead of only soy. Soy currently totally dominates Brazilian farming. Everywhere you look you only see soy.

PS: Embrapa is also developing several varieties of grapes for Cerrado/Midwest region. Currently it's basically only grown in the South as well.
>The stock market was crashing.
>He had no idea why. No one did

That's because some of the largest hedge funds had invested at capacity and retail investors had huge call volume. The market always has a contrarian approach.

Currently the SPX is on a ripping bull market that's because most of the retail is short. It started with the one word tweet by Michael Burry "sell" which caused retail to pile on shorts. The current market is awfully bearish and SPX bull market is roaring even if inflation came in higher than expected and NFP was twice the consensus.

The bull market beatings will continue till the short sellers morale improves.

Markets will remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
You have provided no evidence either and your claims are vague and not derived from any named study. In any case, PIT as operated by SF HSH can be found here, which certainly you could have reached with a simple Google search of the terms I used: https://hsh.sfgov.org/about/research-and-reports/pit-hic/.

In addition, people who are not legible to PIT methodology are certainly not rolled up into state level statistics upon which this claim of failure and the article rest, so in many ways their existence is not relevant to my point or this discussion.

Public key authentication isn’t just providing more entropy than passwords.

Passwords (as used in SSH) are bearer tokens – send yours to the wrong server, once, and you‘re compromised, for this and future sessions. That’s not the case with public key authentication.
But Nuremberg was very successful in de-Nazifying the country.

Denazification was an entirely different process. The Nuremberg trials were for the very top leaders (and only a handful). The apparatus of the Nazi government never went to trial, they went through a Denazification process that was abandoned pretty quickly.

There are numerous examples of relatively high level Nazi's being a part of the new German government. The best example is Reinhard Gehlen who led the build up of West Germanys entire intelligence agency. Numerous Nazi officers ended up in high ranking positions in the Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces) and in high ranking political positions.

I’m not saying it’s impossible to house the homeless. The OC was saying that the homeless is not housed because building houses for the homeless would lower real estate prices. I was just pointing out that it’s likely the opposite would happen: real estate prices would go up. That doesn’t mean it isn’t worth doing.

Think about it like this: housing the homeless is a subsidy. Subsidies increase demand.

> we could demand and verify good testing and analysis for foundational bits of code, but we don't.

Who would you take these demands to? Most foss software is written and managed by volunteer maintainers, if you start demanding things from them they will rightfully tell you to jog on.

Even when they are not volunteers, they are likely employees of companies that fund this development largely because they require and rely on the software. In which case, they likely have priorities set that are aligned with that company and the needs of other users are low priority at best, but more likely largely irreverent.

It's pretty easy to say what people back in the 90s should have been working on in retrospect. The zeitgeist around privacy only really changed in the late 2000s if I recall. Shortly afterward DNSCurve appeared and since it's arguably easier to deploy than DNSSEC it's noteworthy how little impact it has had.
> abusing the logging

The log4j attack was code injection[1] exploit resulting from interpreting unsanitized data from untrusted parties. In that respect it falls roughly in the same umbrella as SQL injection. There are many tools or libraries that define some kind of little language to allow for scripting or executing some action.

The judiciary has other essential roles, including adapting laws to new circumstances, justice, fairness, and mercy. The judiciary fails when it hurts people or causes injustice simply because Congress didn't anticipate some circumstance (and obviously Congress can't anticipate every circumtance).

They pull out the claim above when it suits them, and then are expansive about US tradition, Congress's 'real' intent, etc. when it suits them.
> Your private keys shouldn't even be accessible to you, they should be on a secure enclave like a yubikey

That’s not the only reason or way to use SSH keys. Even when stored on disk (in plaintext or encrypted) they offer advantages over password authentication, e.g. making it impossible for an MITM to steal credentials or impersonate an authenticated client even without validating host keys.
No, there are 2 solutions for Brazil's problems: Guarulhos and Galeão.

I took Guarulhos, 10 years ago. Couldn't be happier.
Whenever I have to solve a really hard problem, I always have at least two mediocre solutions before I come up with a really good one.

That doesn't work well in interviews, especially with how terrible most interviewers at time management. I sometimes get 10 minutes for a system design problem because the interviewer was expected to get signals on my non-technical competencies as well as system design.

This is never enough time to ask clarifying questions, diagram things, and get a good solution out unless it's similar to a problem I've already solved.

It's often OK to not solve the problem as long as you give an interviewer insight into how you think, but some interviewers expect a miracle.

You can use a single injector at the intake—Throttle Body Injection (TBI)—to replace the carburation metering with a fuel injector. A lot of domestic manufacturers did this for a time when they were struggling to convert to EFI.

For the MegaSquirt (at least) the default metering is speed-density which sounds like what your Renix is, and this is the minimum needed to run the MS, unless alternatively you go for Alpha-N fuel mapping.

> My contention is that if we took a step back and re-evaluated the platform and added a real standard library, I posit we could cut a lot of this out. You could take everything that's good and make it better.

Many have tried over the years, including in the early years before we had a neutron star's worth of code built on top of it over the decades that followed.

To be pedantic, browser APIs are already a standard library. The behavior of the HTML parser is 100% defined even in the case of imperfect (to say the least) input. Things like classlist, dataset, history, tab index, event handling... they're all there. If you don't LIKE the standard library or you think it is insufficiently elegant, that's your prerogative, but it's a standard library (emphasis on published standard) with multiple implementations.

As a counterpoint, Qt, GTK+, Tk, Swing, Godot, Kivy, FLTK, etc. are not standards nor are they faster for development, more secure, or easier to start working with. Sure, after you get past the (much larger) barriers to entry and actually get something working on one platform like Ubuntu Desktop, you have to refactor/rewrite for MacOS, Windows, and... other flavors of Linux. And no cheating! A Qt app running on MacOS needs to look like a Mac app, not a Linux app that happens to run on MacOS. Every UI toolkit out there with a "better" API just has one implementation (aka not a standard) and does not handle all of the use cases the web has grown into. And the toolkits that approach all of the browser's use cases is inevitably not a cleaner API.

This problem is deceptively hard and hasn't been solved over and over again as folks stepped back.

As for fragments, shadow DOM, unnecessary renders, efficient ways to find nodes, etc., I strongly encourage you to try Svelte, especially as a PWA. You might be pleasantly surprised how many of these issues are addressed and surprisingly cleanly.

I loved this article. Thanks OP and poster for providing.

I might supply my own anecdotes on low balling software talent and the subtle, pervasive ill-effects it comes with and the management structure that shapes it, but it wouldn't add much.

I see this same cost cutting (greedy shorterism) in other ways too:

- off shoring support. One of my colleagues is dealing with more and more far east workers. The result? Not pretty. Poor US/UK ppl are having to work early/late (or vice versa) for the time difference.

- manufacturing that moved too much core stuff to China. Thankfully that's shifting back.

- I'm always disheartened when I see corporations fail to own (besides good employee hiring and retention) other facets of their business farming out to third parties:

- harassment training

- cost cutting recommendations and other restructuring

- various facets of QA data collection and reporting

It tells me these companies don't really think they know what they're doing or they are driven by fear/politics. It's never a good sign in my book
Intelligence isn't a factor of just speed, but open-mindedness. A willingness to look at something from every angle and solve with a unique solution. This is my big gripe with the intellectual crowd - because they want to be smart solely for being smart's sake, so they'll sacrifice the due diligence it takes to correctly solve a problem in order to "get further" and appear smarter, and it misleads a lot of people on what true intelligence is.

You say $1mil+ house and most people think we are putting up a select one or two homeless guys in mansions.

1 million dollars in San Francisco real estate is a one room (maybe two room if it's in extra bad shape) hovel.

And that's the real problem. San Francisco is not a place for the poor to try to raise their lives to middle class. It's a place for middle class to struggle to stay above water. The homeless in sf need to be given decent places to live in a place where land costs something normal. That place does not currently exist in or near San Francisco, but can be reached by an hour or two bus ride.

Traffic engineers the world over would disagree that decreasing space between cars makes anyone safer.

What makes more sense is leaning on the raison d'etre of multi-lane highways: slower traffic keep right. Designed systems work best when used as designed.
Right. They’re also in the “manufacture consent” business - and UAPs mean “possible enemy tech we need to race to beat,” when needed as a reason.

The military is not into scientific rigor as much as it is into blowing things up and supporting contractors while chasing/developing tech.

We are conveniently in arms races with: China, Russia, etc.. and starting a most likely terrible election cycle with lots of new tech to be used.

It follows that UAP concerns can easily pivot into “enemy tech” arms races, when necessary.

with a MarTech focus ...

He was a prosecutor for the “American Trials at Nuremberg” which is a different thing.

The Nuremberg trials were international. Judges came from all occupying powers.

When they were done, America rented out the courthouse and used it for America-only trials.

The initial trials were for top-tier Nazis. The subsequent trials were for mid-tier Nazis who committed especially heinous crimes.

Not shocking.
There's nothing surprising here, although it's important to call this out. As I've traveled around SEA a lot over the past few years, I've found that many sites are commonly blocked and surprising how little it seems to be discussed. In particular, medium.com and BBC.com seem to be blocked in at least Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Probably Singapore too. Those are the ones I noticed, I'm sure there are many more blocked that I've not seen.

There's no "great firewall" level blocking going on and the blocks are easily circumvented using a proxy or alternative DNS.

But blocking media sites when they publish anything critical of the government is unfortunately standard in this part of the world.

when tackling a large problem, in the beginning I find it hard to concentrate because I dont know "the best way", but even from the beginning I can understand that you could handle it about 99 different ways. I want to chase down nearly all of them so I can decide the best one, but sometimes its better to just get something crappy done 100%, then you can go back and iterate. otherwise you might get stuck on side quests forever:

Trade isn’t the problem. War is.
It’s not, 70% of unhoused people in SF started out housed in SF (source: every homeless count for the last decade, and my tenure as editor-in-chief of SF’s Street Sheet). People are unhoused here because housing is unaffordable. This is not complicated.

We already have a (very successful, uncontroversial) program that provides free bus tickets to unhoused people who came from elsewhere and have a support system wherever they came from. That leaves the other 70%.

Nope. Most languages have strong leadership and zero chance of taking anything from C/C++. And it will takes a very long time for Rust to get even 5% of the C/C++ market. There are more than 6 million C++ programmers out there. And new C++ projects are started every day.
I'm not sure what group specifically you're referring to derisively as the "intellectual crowd." I'm guessing that this is different from the "intelligent crowd," but I certainly regard the college professors and such I know as an intellectual crowd, and they are absolutely open-minded, would take their time solving problems, and would consider other opinions.

(Not all of them, of course, but in general they are at least as intellectually-curious and open as anyone else I know.)
The Australian government’s offical cybersecurity guidelines recommend - but do not require - Australian government agencies to implement DNSSEC, “where possible” and especially on their “principal domains”. In a competitive procurement, if another vendor says “you want DNSSEC? No problem!”, while you are saying “we don’t support that” or trying to argue against the recommendation - that is unlikely to help in winning the deal. If your product is miles ahead of the competition, it might not matter; if it is close, this might be the thing that loses it.
