I think I likely know more about urban poverty than you do. It is incredibly hard to get a section 8 apartment, especially if you aren't a family, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to do that in urban cores as section 8 contracts are being shifted towards outlying areas.

Nonetheless, there are lots of people in urban areas living in section 8 housing and it is a substantial part of the story around urban poverty and how people still afford to live in urban cores.
We should measure a police department response to reporting a stolen mobile device with active localization. How eager is the police to fight a real crime.

I have a personal hypothesis that that some small locations depend too much on traffic fines and pay for productivity pluses. Most of those fines will be from outsiders. Probably it all started with an unexpected income, a proud politician announcing tax reductions and traffic fines become a real need for this location

Hiding Instagram ads selenium IDE
instagram ads annoy me, really. and they are endless. i wish there were a way to stop them but seems there is no way. but thanks to them i am not scrolling on instagram as i used to, nevertheless i use instagram almost everyday.

i have been hiding ads manually for a long while, and even blocking the advertiser account but that's not an effective way. so i give a try to selenium ide which i had no idea how it works

after an hour or so googling and some testing i have a working selenium ide test which hides ads for me. i run it 3 times with 100 each and blocked roughly 30 ads in each run, and including the trial-and-error runs, i guess it hid me over 100 ads already

Oh wow, memories!

Had an Amstrad CPC6128 in the mid-80s and for the life of me I just could not 'get' BASIC. "Syntax error" in everything, even those multi-page type-in games that Amstrad Action would print each month.

Then I discovered the MAXAM ROM - along with Protext. That, a copy of the CPC Firmware Guide, and I was away.

BASIC stumped me but the Z80 language just clicked.

Loved writing code, learnt the importance of backups, learned how to find cheats in games and so much more. Good times.

> children were an inexpensive asset ... Raising children nowadays is outrageously expensive,

not only that but earlier, your kids mainly benefited yourself as your social safety net when your grew old. Now, your kids generally benefit the whole society. So the cost of kids has gone up and is privatized, while the benefits are socialized. No wonder people are opting out of having kids.
> Have you ever had a friend return from a vacation and gush about how great it was to walk in the place they’d visited? “You can walk everywhere! To a café, to the store. It was amazing!” Immediately after saying that, your friend hops in their car and drives across the parking lot to the Starbucks to which they could easily have walked.

> Why does walking feel so intuitive when we’re in a city built before cars, yet as soon as we return home, walking feels like an unpleasant chore that immediately drives us into a car?

Because when they are on vacation they are a tourist. They are interested in exploring the area and discovering things that are new or different to them. They are taking a break from their normal busy routine and are free to relax.

Walking is a wonderful way to explore a new area and see what shops and attractions and sights are there.

When they get back home they are no longer a tourist. They already know where everything is in their area and what it has to offer. They are back to their normal life with too many responsibilities and not enough time. When they go somewhere in their area traveling there is not a delightful opportunity for exploration and discovery. It is a bothersome chore that is getting in the way of what they want to do.
> The most important question we can ask of historians is “Why are some periods and places so astonishingly more productive than the rest?”

These are primarily pretext stops, not revenue generating ones. They profile based on their perceived likelihood of escalating to a more severe crime - that is, the crimes they're interested in pursuing with the people they're interested in.

(If they actually prioritized crime severity, they would prioritize visibly rich business owners over the poverty-stricken or marginalized populations given that wage theft is by far the largest category of theft)

Have you seen https://github.com/RosettaCommons/binder ?

python aside, having gone down this rabbithole, and still not infrequently revisiting said rabbithole, I don't believe using *clang like this is a winning strategy. Because of the number of corner cases there are in eg C++17, you will end reimplementing effectively all of the "middle-end" (the parts that lower to llvm) for your target language. At that point you're not building bindings anymore but a whole-ass transpiler. Binder fails to be complete in this way.

My current theory is to try "synthesize" bindings from the llvm ir (a much smaller representational surface). Problems abound here too (ABI).

Stop using autistic as a perjorative.
Agree. She was a polarizing figure in the UK, but the newly-installed Conservative government of the early 80s certainly moved fast to respond to both the threat and the opportunity of the coming information revolution. In partnership with the BBC, they instituted the Computer Literacy Project which comprised education, television programs, subsidized computers for schools, and of course the BBC Microcomputer.

For those who want to read more, there's a great archive site here: https://clp.bbcrewind.co.uk/history and an interesting book from MIT Press (https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262034036/now-the-chips-are-dow...) which covers this period.
I am not a chemist, I may have this completely wrong, but:

Steel does not rust without cause.

It needs something like a drip on to a part of it to wash away the layer of oxide and create more. Electrical effects then spread the decay.

There are a lot of steel reinforced structures around from the 1920s that are doing very well with no visible signs of structural decay.

Here is one close to me form the nineteenth century. Everything else decayed. It burnt at least once. And it stands, still.

Any evidence for your implication that sexual abuse is more common in religious organizations than secular organizations that deal with children? There’s about 15,000 sexual abuse complaints every year in schools: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/15/sexual-violence-rep.... Every year CPS agencies receive 4.4 million referrals for child mistreatment, about 10% of which relate to sexual abuse: https://www.childwelfare.gov/pubpdfs/canstats.pdf. About 1 in 6 of the referrals overall are substantiated, suggesting 50,000+ child substantiated sexual abuse complaints annually.

For comparison the John Jay report found about 11,000 sexual abuse allegations against catholic priests over a 50+ year period: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jay_Report. There are estimated to be about 12,500 victims in the Boy Scouts in total: https://abcnews.go.com/US/12000-boy-scout-members-victims-se....

That is not to say religious organizations should be off the hook for failing to deal with the pedophiles in their ranks. But estimates suggest 1-5% of the male population is pedophiles. The evidence suggests that abuse is actually a cross-cutting problem. It arises whenever you put adults in proximity to children. Why focus only on the religious organizations?
A minor correction:

> Let's say we want to display the emoji for a brown man, “<brown man>”. There isn't a code point for that. Instead we use “<man> ZWJ <brown>”.

(with the emoji replaced, as I expect HN would strip them).

That's inaccurate: skin tone modifiers are used directly after a base emoji character, without a zero-width joiner in between.
In my opinion you weren't at fault here. Production systems should be designed so that one person can't inadvertently destroy things.
> When people want to live somewhere dense, and that's illegal to build

It's not illegal to build everywhere. That should be obvious since there are lots of dense urban areas.

I could just as easily ask why I'm not allowed to build a new single family home in Manhattan. The obvious answer is that Manhattan is not a suburb. The equally obvious answer to why you can't build dense urban housing in a suburb is that it's not a city. Unless you are arguing that everywhere should be a dense urban area, there are going to be different areas with different densities and different kinds of housing. That's just a fact of life that everyone has to deal with.

A lot of emphasis on neuromamcer was on punk, you know, from cyber punk. 70s punk, dirty, scraggy, poor, filth. This part is omitted in a lot of later Cyberpunk. The cyber part, the internet, was very different envisioned than it turned out to be. Today, cyberpunk is not a vision of a future, but an alternative reality for today. The parts where megacorps are running the world, including militech, resonates, but of course the implementation differences are numerous.

The data is specifically referring to officer initiated traffic stops. Noise complaints are often reported by neighbors and then responded to.

> …telling a mod to go outside is one of the most low hanging fruit insults on the internet.

That’s funny, because that interpretation wasn’t anywhere on my mental horizon. It’s another example of something that has struck me going back to my days as a philosophy double major. Philosophers of language like to play up the power of referentiality and intentionality for communication. What always struck me as more impressive is just how much space there is in any given human communicative act for misunderstanding and how that seems more common, and vastly more undertheorized, than successful communication.
Fascinating article. Website is awful though. Here's the article without auto-playing video, missing ads, page crashing, and paragraphs of text randomly jumping around the page: https://archive.ph/HkeMn
Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, just someone who read the bill a couple of months ago because I was checking to see whether the idea I have in the back of my head for a social media platform was still viable. Heather Burns[0] is an actual lawyer who's a leading authority on this.

The basic principle is that what people do online can have negative consequences in the real world, and the bill basically holds online service operators (such as yourself) at least partially responsible for those negative consequences. Operators need to demonstrate that they're mitigating those consequences risk assessments and policies.

Judging by your profile, you're offering e2ee to family groups, so your intended users are low-risk for sending harmful content. However, your service is freely available to anyone with the app, so it could potentially be used by terrorist organisations, gangs or CSAM sharing groups. e2ee services like this are pretty much the only service that is outright incompatible with the requirements of the bill, so I think you'll be in trouble as soon as Ofcom comes knocking, if they do so. I think the chance of them doing so is small, but that's just my personal opinion, and you will have to make your own decisions.

The family tree and calendar features look like they're low risk, and could be adequately covered by risk assessments, but the file and photo sharing features are also problematic, because (I think) they're encrypted.

You're very unfortunate to be at the intersection of the three factors that could make Ofcom care about you:

* service freely available to the public;
* arbitrary user-to-user communication; and
* no means of checking for harmful conduct on your service.

The only way forward that I can see for you is to make the backend a selfhost-only affair, which would make your UK-based users responsible under the bill.

That’s really cool. There has always been a connection between LA/entertainment and science/research/aerospace. Burbank airport used to be a Lockheed facility, JPL is nearby, etc.

In “Hail, Caesar” it actually makes sense for Josh Brolin’s character, as a studio head, is considering a job offer from Lockheed.
I don't follow, is the issue that Google is lying about trying to standardize something (what you claimed before, and which clearly isn't true), or that they're implementing things that aren't standardized[1] and which you dislike (true, but, like, fine. You can use other browsers)?

If chrome implements WEI and it isn't standardized, you're not going to be knocked off the internet if you use firefox. That's extremely silly.

[1]: Keep in mind that things that aren't standardized include third party cookie behavior, so the behavior that FF and Safari have, that you support, isn't standardized either. If you're fully against browsers implementing nonstandard apis or features, you can't be in support of third party cookie sandboxing at all.

Virtual libraries also lack the ease of keeping several books open in front of you at the same time. This is very important in fields like linguistics, history, or archaeology.

It does contain ideological flamebait but the details around high school debating are interesting and uncorrelated with any common topic here. That makes it a good candidate for an HN thread. As many commenters have been adding their own interesting experience with high school debates, I think HN is 'winning' this one so far (i.e. there are more thoughtful comments than flamewars).
> fruitless traffic stops than responses to service calls

As a counterargument, I read somewhere that the number one way that serious criminals are caught is due to motor vehicle violations. The theory being that someone who doesn't care about laws against serious acts cares even less about traffic laws.

Timothy McVeigh was caught because he was stopped for driving without a license plate on his car. Law enforcement perhaps would never have solved one of the biggest crimes in U.S. history if the police had not made a minor traffic stop.
It is offensive in the sense that most people don't like being called bastards, and it doesn't "[help] lots of people to understand the inherent problems with policing" because it is just a heightened way of saying "I think cops are bad". There's no information in it, just opinion. The idea that making a strong emotive statement and assuming your interlocutor is going to fill in all the reasoned arguments behind it is somehow brave or worthwhile is, I think, a problem with a lot of modern discussion.

Yeah, I fully agree. They should just admit the mistake rather than try to justify it. I was just trying to explain the incentive structure around them that encourages this behavior. Unfortunately no one gives you points for admitting your mistakes (in fact, you risk losing points) and you are unlikely to lose points for doubling down on an error.

> There is no way they could be at the stage they claim to be in their program (having just defended their thesis) and think the excuses they gave on GitHub are reasonable.

Unfortunately it is a very noisy process. I know people from top 3 universities that have good publication records and don't know probabilities from likelihoods. I know students and professors at these universities that think autocasting your model to fp16 reduces your memory by half (from fp32) and are confused when you explain that that's a theoretical (and not practical) lower bound. Just the other day I had someone open an issue on my github (who has a PhD from one of these universities and is currently a professor!) who was expecting me to teach them how to load a pretrained model. This is not uncommon.
