Why don't the states there organize into a southern United States? It feels silly to talk about self-sufficiency and all when the analog at country level is the USA states. Nobody would expect e.g. Rhode Island to feed itself, but thankfully there is the Midwest. Maybe Bolivar's dream could come true one day.
Axios’s bullet pointed style has never worked well for me. I’ve never been able to absorb any information from any article of theirs I’ve ever looked at. Total ux abomination.
Thanks,

We're working on it.

We have some units out with test users, but we're conscious of creating something great here, and not rushing out with a product nobody will be happy with.

We're also making sure we have the right GTM that the business can last. We've seen lots of failure in this space in the past.

I wish I could give you a date, but at this point I can't confidently say when we'll go into production.

Can I ask why you are looking for an EEG sleep device? We're less focused on just building an EEG, and more focused on solving a need in the market.

Prop 13 distorts incentives. It's why we have private country clubs in the middle of Los Angeles, dilapidated shacks on Google's global HQ, and surface parking lots in San Francisco proper.

It's also why California has the highest impact fees in the nation by a wide margin.

We should end Prop 13 and make it budget neutral by ending our other taxes. But even if we repealed Prop 13 and then set the money on fire it'd be a win for housing.
> Dr. Howard did not apply for any kind of permit, despite Georgetown’s historic status and the fact that the sidewalk is public space.

Public land, the end. Should not have done it.

Moving past that, these places go for millions and are safer and have better schools because of the "historic status", but everyone wants those benefits but don't think the rules apply to them. Personally I like confronting sculptures, a graphic Jesus on the cross or Hitler. Do I get to do that, while everyone else has to be historic to keep my land value up?

The national average is stupidly low. Major banks still charge 0.01 and even my credit union pays basically nothing.

But if you’re opening an account online specifically for savings, why choose one that isn’t the best.

Also, for comparison the vanguard money market fund is paying 5% right now, and Bask pays 4.75% on a $0 minimum balance, so there’s no reason to open this account and put $10K into it unless you really love Apple, or for some reason are blocked from opening accounts with higher yielding banks.

Singapore is an exercise in contradictions. In many ways, it’s extremely liberal. In others, it’s quite dictatorial.

I don't think the program failed. It did get a significant number of people off the streets, and most were able to exit to long term housing, according to the city.

Do you have a different source that refutes or denies the claim that at least some people in the SIP hotel system were in an extended quarantine? I actually think it's understandable in context that they would be concerned about people coming and going early in the pandemic, when the whole point of the program was to reduce spread. However, I also think it's understandable that this would exacerbate mental health outcomes. But perhaps then the SIP hotels are not a good indicator of how actual housing first policies would play out.

Also, I've seen some numbers quoted about the dollar cost of property damage at some hotels. I had not seen any claim about the proportion of rooms that had property damage, or how the extent of damage was verified. You're portraying it as if all the rooms were wrecked and I wonder whether hotel owners are perhaps also rounding up.
There is plenty of literature describing why this methodology isn’t great:

> 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.

OK, I agree that PIT just counts what it counts. But then that means any homeless that aren’t counted by PIT aren’t relevant. It’s just bad data that we can’t really work with.

Right. Price to rent ratios in California means that when you buy the only thing you get is a bet on real estate. New landlords are cash flow negative by wide margins.

What all, and I mean all of those measures miss, often even intentionally, is that homelessness is a symptom, not the problem.

People like throwing money at homelessness because it is a subconscious absolution for their own guilt in causing it by being part of a machine that defrauds the mass of humans through money printing, i.e., fraud, that sees the value of someone’s labor diluted in order to provide ever more worthless currency to the decadent neo-aristocratic class that is also heavily represented in this forum, including myself.

Want to end homelessness? I know you don’t, but if you did, because that would mean you wouldn’t have all the money you have that was pilfered from others through deception and fraud. But if you did, then we would stop the massing theft through fraud that is money printing, aka inflation, aka fraud; selling one thing, delivering something of lesser value, dilution, theft by deception.

Then our benevolent government wouldn’t have to spend any money, because the value of labor for the homeless would allow them to have dignity that our class steals and robs them of, regardless of the government alms we throw them. Even the government money is not even our own money, but overwhelmingly also yet more of other peoples money that was stolen and defrauded through debt, taxes, and money printing.

We are all no different than Escobar that was relatively generous with his money to keep the vile enterprise going on the backs of people’s suffering.

Yes, I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder about people who do not actually want to solve a problem, they just want to feel good about themselves.
> Those are the homeless you can see.

Those are the homeless that attack the elderly. Those are the homeless that shit on the street. Those are the homeless that lie naked sprawled across the sidewalk or at the end of a BART escalator.

Whatever the cause, these homeless do have mental health and substance abuse issues, often are voluntarily homeless (and will resist help.) They're not all of the homeless problem, but they are a major part of it.

Getting rid of hard drug dealers would solve a large part of the issue. Making it illegal to be on hard drugs (and enforcing it) would be as well.
> You disperse them into regular neighborhoods like any other renter.

Nobody wants to live by a potential meth lab. This is how NIMBY get credibility.

Not before they become homeless, sure. Also, white collar drugs tend to be a lot more survivable than fent.
The Asia Sentinel article that kicked this off (now headed by a paragraph stating the Singapore Government's objections and position of 'facts') is:

https://www.asiasentinel.com/p/singapore-kills-chicken-scare...

The three points of contention are that the Singapore Government asserts:

* The Singapore Government did not threaten to end the business operations of Nikkei Inc. in Singapore;

* M Ravi was not suspended from practising law for criticising the Government; and

* Lee Hsien Yang and Lee Suet Fern were not threatened with Government action for warring with Lee Hsien Loong.

and the blocking is due to the Asia Sentinel's refusal to masthead the 'correction' for thirty days and alter(?) the original article to comply.

Right or wrong I side with the paper - it's relevant that they report that the Singapore Government disputes asserted factoids, it's fair that perhaps some form of this dispute goes to arbitration | court to independantly prove | disprove assertations .. but being forced to masthead a 'correction' to thirty days on pain of blocking prior to any (that I know of) independant review is extreme.
Because 'Geopolitical Risk' is a thing.

Its nice when you can buy $60/bushel wheat. Its not so nice when your dealer cuts you off.

The extra $40/bushel you pay to produce in-house, thats your insurance policy against having your supplies cut off. In a world where geopolitical lines are shifting, it's a matter of national security and optionality to have your own food production capacity. Risk management.
What if free will leads to wars, crimes, deaths? Surely the world would be safer if we sacrificed our humanity for security!

It's a hybrid regime/illiberal democracy like Russia (before Russia became a full on dictatorship in 2022).

While they technically have opposition parties, they've de facto always been a one party state.

There is an extreme level of censorship in the state as well and Media, ISPs, and Telecom Providers are almost entirely owned by the Government.

The difference from countries like Russia is the Singaporean govt doesn't shoot their opponents - they just bankrupt them via litigation instead.

P.S. Singapore's model of Illiberal Democracy is the template used across developing countries in Asia - from Thailand to China pre-Xi to India. Singaporean advisors were critical to developing China in the 1980s and 90s, as well as Gujarat in the 2000s.
Your Face Is Ours: The Dangers Of Facial Recognition Software
Linear algebra was one of my favourite series of subjects during my mathematics degrees. It has always been fun.

There was only one rocky moment I can recollect, in first year after a three lecture proof which the lecturer finished with words along the lines of: "I won't go through this again because you wouldn't understand it the second time either." Quite possibly true, although I understood the steps of the proof the theorem itself wasn't at all obvious. In later years it became so.
You think it's reasonable to think they imprisoned people in hotel rooms? You are also willing to take some "advocates" word for it? How about you provide evidence it did happen. It certainly did not. And what does that mean the majority were able to exit into long term housing? Having a bunched of wrecked property and then moving people to new property to destroy is not a success.
So is the corollary to this "less intelligent brains take less time to come up with solutions that don't work?"

>Canada has a more comprehensive welfare state than the US and a higher percentage of the population are immigrants than in the US

Canada is a joke of a country and basically a vassal state of the United States, they couldn't even shoot down a balloon over their own territory without US F-22's from Alaska.

Talking about them and how they spend their money/the outcomes they get is like discussing the "rich" 35 year old who has a nice car and big TV living with his parents (no rent, food, healthcare costs etc)

You can't ignore these realities and then pretend that the current state of Canada is replicable in other places, as if it was solely the result of policy.

I was married 20+ years. Don’t recommend it. Instead find a partner who has his/her own life and share the good times between you. Adjust time spent together up/down as needed to not get bored/complacent. Do not get involved with a person who aren’t mature enough to have their own life without you.

"State lawmakers also approved SB107, a bill designed to protect out-of-state transgender children and their families from civil and criminal penalties when seeking gender-affirming care."[0] The bill passed the assembly with 60 ayes and 19 nays. It passed the senate with 30 ayes and 9 nays.[1]

They also passed anti-firearm legislation to allow private citizens to sue gunmakers.[0] It passed with 52 ayes/21 nays in the assembly and 26 ayes/9 nays in the senate.

So California democrats toe the party line and vote with progressives on wedge issues. In what sense are they conservative?

Because of CS programs, and legacy software written in java.

The finance systems I’m familiar with generally don’t rely on DNS for security and, more commonly, don’t rely on it at all. For systems operating over the open Internet, the most common security mechanisms involve pre-shared key pairs. For systems not on Internet, IP (v4) addresses are generally used directly.

I’m actually generally disappointed that TLS in the context of web browsers essentially only uses the CA system for identification and security. It’s wrong at both ends of the spectrum. There are systems where manual key distribution would be fine, and avoiding the CAs as a weak point would be beneficial. And there are systems where the CA system flat out does not work (e.g. anything where the servers are not connected to the Internet and do not even have every-few-days Internet access). Neither of these use cases are handled well by web browsers. (DNSSEC doesn’t help either, of course.)
It makes total sense why Amy Chozick, if she’s a struggling and desperate journalist would accept a PR-planted softball story. Holmes probably farmed it to others first who turned it down.

> This policy and societal failure of squeezing every bit of wealth out of the new generation and not giving them anything will eventually drain cities of young people and those cities will be left behind as times change with the newer generations. The cities will miss out on culture, societal change, modernity, eventually of sheer people. See San Francisco, New York, Seoul, etc. It doesn't seem like countries are treating this as the problem it is and I fear for the future of all these currently-popular cities.

This is an issue for clever people on the LSAT, where there is a technique to solving the problems that takes practice, and when you do a course on it, the thing STEM people tend to have to unlearn is solving the problem as a class of problem instead of just recognizing which question form it is and grinding through it fastest. The other trick is to recognize which ones are designed as a time suck.
