This gets to one of the core issues. The homelessness issue, as well as mental health issues, are all left to counties in the US. This leads to bussing the homeless and it's not even clear if the cause for the homelessness is in the area the homelessness is felt. I might become homeless in New York and get on a bus to San Francisco because the weather is nicer and I hear they are nicer to homeless there. This would be much more effectively tackled at a state or better federal level. At least handling this on a state level is a hard requirement to do what you propose and create the housing where it's cheap, not where it's costly because it's nice or there are lots of jobs there for high-earners.

All that said, the federal government in the US of course would also face all kind of pushback and obstacles in part due to the way it's set up.
I'd be cautious about stuff like this - if you annoy the wrong person that could paint a target on your back.
We've tested housing first programs in SF. https://twitter.com/garrytan/status/1659972231328583680?s=20

25% died (overdose on drugs), and 21% returned to the streets. We need to recognize that drug addicts don't make rational decisions for themselves. We shouldn't leave them on the streets to do drugs, we shouldn't give them free housing to do drugs, we should put them in rehab. If they don't want to go to rehab, charge them with possession of illegal substances and put them in a prison rehab system. This type of life crippling drug addiction shouldn't be tolerated.

I recognize that not all homeless are drug addicts, they should be supported in a much different way than we support drug addicts.
$17B could have built a lot of affordable subsidized, or free, housing.
I want this person off of the streets for completely selfish reasons to myself.

Recovery program or not, they are going to have to live somewhere. If it's not a publicly funded home then it's going to be a tent in a public park that I am paying taxes for.

I actually had to write a letter for something today, I wrote some steam of conciousness and then tried to get gpt to coerce it into a passable letter. It captured everything I wrote and turned it into a high school essay, with cliche metaphors and adjectives people pick to sound literary. I asked it to rewrite and played around a bit, then eventually edited my steam of conciousness into something actually coherent and (to me) authentic.

I have made good use of chatgpt, but it's definitely not there on writing, and I agree that bullet points are way more preferable than the aspiring english major prose chatgpt seems to favor.

You’re both sort of right.

The visible homeless—the vagrants you see in tent cities under the freeway or harassing pedestrians—are more likely to have drug addictions or other mental illnesses. And the more mentally ill they are, the more visible they become since they end up committing crimes and making a nuisance of themselves. If you’re mainly concerned about the externalities of homelessness—e.g. needles and human feces on the street, crime, harassment, etc—then you’d be well served addressing this problem in particular.

If you define “homeless” by people not having consistent housing, there is a much larger population of those people. Maybe they’re sleeping on a buddy’s couch, or they find a kind stranger to take them in, or they get by via stealth camping. On the margin, expanding public housing or making housing more affordable would help these people. But it wouldn’t do much about the more visible and troublesome ones.
LA resident since 2015. I have a proposed solution that no one ever seems to bring up on here but I would love to know the HN response to this:

If a big essential part of the American Dream is home ownership, and we are short on homes, why do we allow corporations to own them all? How about we have a middle ground or cap on size of corporate entity and # of units or something?

Some of the argument seems to be stuck on free housing for everyone, and everyone else seems fine allowing faceless corporations to own everything and turn us all into renters.

I know I’m leaving out plenty of specifics of how this would work. But the basic concept is same - people (not companies) should own housing. Let me know your thoughts.

My first ever HN comment so hopefully this is seen.
I don't see the point of fail2ban on a server without password login, except to keep the log file tidy. That isn't worth risk of locking out legitimate users due to misconfiguration or user error. CMV.
Data which is

1) based on self-reported status

2) fails to distinguish between temporary hardship homelessness and that resulting of addiction/illness

Should not be relied upon. For the first, there is an obvious incentive towards exaggerating one's stay in state, and no counter-incentive whatsoever. For the latter, these are two separate problems which need drastically different solutions.
On a national level, Housing First will help a lot.

If California tried this, it would probably attract too many people to the state and run out of money.

I know nothing about networking, so pardon the ignorance:

Why isn't there (or is there) some kind of service you can use to map some crazy URL to your personalip:port, like...

http://obscuremyshit.com/393nnasjhf83u98723401 = personalip:port

And only when a connection is referred from that source, does the RDP server even expose itself? And for all other traffic that hits personalip:port, it does absolutely nothing?
We should have separate programs for each, one with more resources. It is much easier to help someone without a substance abuse problem get back on their feet, so let’s pick the lowest fruit first? It also provides some incentive to not get addicted to drugs, knowing that society is going to not try as hard to save you (this is already true, it just isn’t codified anywhere).

But ya, most people won’t notice, since they didn’t notice these people before.
I don't know, the article mentions people who work two jobs having to live in an RV because they can't afford rent. As an external observer, it seems to me that in some parts of the US, inequality is so bad that homelessness is eating the working class. In Europe or Australia[1], the lady working two jobs or the war veteran taking $1200/month in social security would definitely not be homeless. Would they live in government housing, in a sketchy part of town? Sure. But how can you even compare that to being homeless...

[1] Australia, though, is currently in the middle of a rental crisis and becoming much worse.
It can conserve server resources to just stop responding to brute force attacks
Can you elaborate? I don't follow how the amount of money spent "makes it effectively illegal" to audit.
They don't get it for free in Finland - your link says it is important that they are tenants, have a contract, and pay rent(possibly with housing assistance).

Homelessness can be caused by a variety and combination of factors. Plain bad luck, drug addiction, mental illness, etc, and Finland may have a different distribution of causes of homelessness than, say, San Francisco. It's possible that housing first works for the plain bad luck types, but will just enable the drug addiction types.
The problem isn't necessarily that it is boring but rather that we don't understand the impact of boring software.

Unless you think your software is actively harmful, there is no reason to think that the work you are doing is pointless. The problem is that some guy in a corner focusing on just the assigned work at hand is more productive than someone who constantly gets feedback how useful his software is. This then leads to a feeling of meaningless because you are just sitting in front of the screen with a never ending pile of work but never seeing the outcome of that work.
That's kinda what's happened in some pilot programs in SF.

"Of the 515 residents the city tracked in permanent housing since 2016, 25% died, while 21% returned to the streets.”

https://twitter.com/garrytan/status/1659972231328583680?s=20

Not sure why someone would return to the streets but the 25% death rate is insane.
A lot of homeless people, perhaps the majority, use drugs as a consequence of not having a place to live.

Think about it, it's obviously much easier to use escapist drugs when you live on the streets. Not only do you want to escape, you are also surrounded by drugs and other misery.

You are thinking about it the opposite way. In reality, you can't get people to stop using drugs while keeping them on the streets.
I was too.. I then disabled DNS over https (which was pointing at nextdns) and it started working. Not sure if that was coincidence or an actual fix
The government should help people and make their lives better. People should expect this, both as citizens and as tax payers. The government doesn’t just get free money from the people without being expected to offer something in return.
+1 to everything you say. Actual scrutiny will probably yield more optimized results that costs less.

Some of the variable factors that will make the actual scrutiny extremely hard are human emotions such as desire, ambitions, ego, time, impact to morale [employee, shareholder, customers]
Honestly, I can't think of any. The features that I use and value are ones that I saw the usefulness of when I first saw them. The ones that irritate me are also the ones I disliked when I first saw them.

Mines in the US are frequently delayed or prevented from opening entirely due to environmental lobbying pushback. We've got plenty of resources we could be tapping into, but cheap overseas competition plus strict pollution controls and environmental lobbying red tape on top of that makes it a very long, expensive investment to see a return on.

For example, the Interior Department instated a 20-year moratorium on renewing any leases for mining operations near the boundary waters in northern Minnesota. Understandably, the consequences of copper sulfide ore polluting the waters is severe, but the 20 year ban is nonsensical. The dangers won't be any less in 20 years. We aren't exactly 20 years away from magical technology that will make it safe. It's a purely arbitrary number meant to appease environmental groups without having to pay out to buy the land and permanently ban resource extraction.

For what it's worth, I'm not really in favor of the mines, per se, just irked that we keep playing games. Either do environmental reviews and let miners mine when they have leases to do so and appropriate safeguards in place, or don't. A 20 year moratorium just sets up political groups (mining and environmental lobbies) to suck up more cash donations and sets up another political fight down the road.
Right now these problems are being left to counties to figure out, just like mental health
> but if you ask these people hoarding vacant homes if they'd be willing to house a homeless person on their property,

I fail to see that "ask" is the correct approach

If you own a vacant property where there is homelessness, where does "ask" come in?

The appropriate verbs are "tell" or "compell"

Private property is not an absolute right
It's not selfish to want the public to be able to enjoy public spaces.

> However, it relies on the false assumption that accurate task estimation is possible.

Scrum-as-designed does not do this nearly as much as “Scrum”-in-common-practice, the big problem in practice in neglecting the concept of a Sprint Goal and its central role as a guidepost in reactively deciding what how to adapt the list of individual items being done in a sprint (in either direction) as you learn more about how much time the tasks being worked are taking. Well, that and attempts at overly precise estimates, demands for 100% utilization when planning a sprint around task estimates, and demands to treat the tasks pulled into a sprint as a rigid commitment, all of which amount to neglect of the rule “Scope may be clarified and renegotiated with the Product Owner as more is learned.”

I’m not saying Scrum-per-the-Scrum-Guide is ideal, it has lots of issues and I think flow-based Kanban is better than sprint-based Scrum in general. But a lot of the problems of Scrum-in-practice have nothing to do with Scrum-as-designed, and everything to do with the fact that the best design cannot be eliminate the problem of managers rewrite the design to fit their own mental myths about the way projects should work and ignoring the design of the nominal system in use and the agency of the team.

Most homeless people are just normal people who dont have a home. They can pick up garbage or dig ditches or plant trees at the very least. Plenty of menial labor that needs to be done.
>The problem is that if you alleviate homelessness, the money goes away

That actually isn't what happens at all though. When we handle this at the state level, spending on homelessness just makes that state more attractive to the homeless in other states and exacerbates the problem.
Better: just ban password logins, and use cryptographic keys instead.

> some countries were having 10% mortality

Huh? Like 1 in 10 people that caught the virus died? Where do you think this happened?

This may have been true for very tiny portions of the pouplation, like people over the age of 90 (who had a 20% ifr according to https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...) but otherwise the country with the highest ifr seems to be portugal at 2%, and even that would have been heavily concentrated in those who were at risk of death from just about anything due to age and comorbidities.
I agree this is the wrong way of going about it, but their response is ultimately a retreat, which will cause users to look elsewhere for their news headlines, and that will pretty much be it, cause I don't see the gov pulling back on that - in the final analysis I'm pretty sure they would like to have less people on there for their news, for obvious bloody reasons.

Part of the problem is that their estimate for the number of computers was off by many orders of magnitude. In a decade or two, with all of the generative tools, they might be much more wrong on the compute side of things, but more right on the direct-staffing side.

I would guess it would be something like "X% of minerals must go to battery manufacturing locally" and the target would be to produce at least enough batteries to support any electrification needed in Brazil.

If I were in charge, I would want to keep nearly all of that manufacturing and minerals in-country and export battery cells initially, and later full systems that integrate the battery cells, and as the manufacturing capabilities expand I would start to add tarriffs to battery cell exports but ensure the systems that integrate the cells are able to be exported pretty easily. I would ensure to define the "system" as something more than a few battery cells wired together, it would have to be a fully integrated battery pack for a home or commercial building or a car maybe, or some other product that is similar. I would want to focus on vehicular and grid based energy systems, not consumer products because those batteries should eventually get replaced with supercapacitors and battery tech that is less unstable. I would never export minerals for batteries, though, I would just force companies to invest in manufacturing in Brazil.

Sticking to an old kernel and libraries is a pain id your hardware is not purpose-specific. Newer downstream dependencies change and become incompatible: e.g. Tensorflow 2 (IIRC) was incompatible with the ROCm versions that work with the 580. New models on places like HuggingFace tend to work with recent libraries, so not changing to a new toolchain locks you in to SoTA a few years in the past. In my case, thr benchmarking I did for my workloads showed comparable perf between my RX580 and Google Colab. So I chose to upgrade my kerbel and break ROCm
