> there could be some public space where it is legal to be homeless.

Of course! And that's precisely what this case is about. It's not saying that city governments should never remove people from public spaces. It's saying if you don't have a space where it is legal to be homeless, only then can you not legally remove homeless people from public spaces.
> Yet, still obscurity increases security.

I disagree and think obscurity decreases security. It just gives the false belief of security.

The point is that there are no programmers that can simulate machines in their heads. These elite engineers only exist in theory. Because if they did exist, they would appear so alien and freakish to you that they would never be able to communicate their form of software development paradigms and patterns. These rare type of programmers only exist in the future, assuming we're on a timeline toward such a singularity. And we're not, except for some exceptions that cultivate a colony away from what is commonly called the tech industry.

EDIT: Unless you're saying that SOLID, VIPER, TDD, etc. are already alien invaders from a perfect world and only good and skilled humans can adhere to the rules with uncanny accuracy?
I'd guess that, before the US ever does anything about its Microsoft Achilles heel, other countries will realize that they face even more threats from depending on Microsoft.

(This applies to a number of reckless tech companies upon which countries and other companies create dependencies. But MS is one of the most concerning to me.)

The issue in front of the SCOTUS is “Whether the enforcement of generally applicable laws regulating camping on public property constitutes “cruel and unusual punishment” prohibited by the Eighth Amendment.”

For a detailed analysis of what both sides are arguing, see the SCOTUS blog: https://www.scotusblog.com/2024/04/supreme-court-to-hear-cas...

Note that the 8th amendment bars excessive fines (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighth_Amendment_to_the_Unit...) so one can argue that tent encampment dwellers should be fined, just not at the current high amount.

Yes, per the case itself: cities are responsible for creating public spaces that where homelessness is allow. It can be shelters or spaces where tent cities are legally allowed.

The case is not arguing that homeless people should be able to sleep anywhere, it's saying that if you don't provide a legal space for them to live, then you can't remove them from public spaces.

Again if you don't believe homeless should have a place to exist, then you do believe they should be in prison? Can you just clarify this is what you mean.

> MITRE formed in 1958 as a military think tank, spun out from the radar and computer research at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Over the years, MITRE's field of study had greatly diversified. In the 1990s, with the winding down of the cold war, private companies complained that MITRE had an unfair advantage competing for civilian contracts; in 1996 this led to the civilian projects being spun off to a new company, Mitretek. Mitretek was renamed Noblis in 2007.
> Nuclear states have a form of “super-sovereignty” that effectively makes them a different kind of state. No one’s chucking rockets or missiles at you anymore

> sometimes the design/software is the secret

Decreasingly the case, and we might be at the point I can say "poorly architected" if that's the case. A random 19 year old developer in the military with access to the secrets would be a big security hole too.

That's what we should be comparing with regards to open-source vs not open-source - in either case access to weaponry would of course be heavily gated.

Some of the other arguments you make here are no different than conventional arguments against open-source:

> the real code would still be private

Precisely the point, get the crowd to optimize the low-risk parts, build communities around those libraries and frameworks and recruit from it

> opponents might catch up

To remain an industry leader it's actually better to get everyone playing your game rather than trying to compete and stay ahead in a wild west scenario. You want to capture it really, so you can control it and be the leader in it. Open-source is one great way to do that (browser vendors come to mind).

See Slab City for an example of what a controlled and sustained homeless camps look like.
No. I’m more aware of my own cognitive biases. “Smart people full of doubt” and all that.
I wonder if anyone has asked any homeless people this question, in a serious manner.
> Finally, getting back to the topic of this thread, it seems highly unlikely that insects do have this self-observational/awareness aspect of consciousness, simply because they don't have an advanced enough nervous system/brain to support it. You can't think about something if you don't have anything (cortex) to think with. Animals as simple as inspects are really closer to what we think of as machines (although it seems this metaphor/distinction is rapidly going to become useless).

I'm glad that after your "rebuke", you concluded the same thing but called it "self-observational/awareness aspect of consciousness". Only a conscious animal could do that.
I don't mind homeless people sleeping under a bridge, but they shouldn't be allowed to camp everywhere. If you aren't even allowed to park for 3 hours in a location, why should a homeless person be allowed to camp there indefinitely and throw needles that are difficult to prove are yours?

If you switch nicotine out for a different socially acceptable drug – alcohol – and suddenly that's not so unreasonable. It's long been argued that the US model of "no alcohol until you're 21" followed by full (and largely unsupervised) access to as much alcohol as you can afford leads to more young adult problems with alcohol than something more akin to various western European cultures where some small degree of supervised alcohol consumption before being legally allowed to buy and consume unlimited amounts.

I see this a lot where "${thing} is bad" leads to people saying "we should stop letting people have ${thing}" and trying to raise kids as if ${thing} doesn't exist or as if they can choose to not be addicted / influenced by ${thing}, regardless of how realistic that is. Pick your vice, sex, drugs, guns, rock and roll, pop music, movies, TV, the internet at large, social media, communism, capitalism, socialism, fascism, power tools, knives, etc. And it seems to me, more often than not, heavily "abstinence only" treatment of ${thing} results in far more harm than in trying to model ways to healthily deal with the fact that ${thing} exists and may vary well be something you have to deal with.

I think of it like an immune system response. Your body needs to encounter pathogens in order to learn how to deal with them. Sure it would be ideal if you never ever got sick at all. But since that's basically impossible, and we know that trying to do that often results in unintended side effects, it's better instead to teach people (and their immune systems) how to deal with things. People get taught to wash their hands, cover their mouths, and immune systems get vaccines, and exposure to pathogens by not keeping our kids in hermetically sealed environments. Should you go out an intentionally get your kid sick? No, generally speaking you shouldn't. But that's exactly the goal of a vaccine. Get your body a little sick, so that it's better prepared to deal with the real thing when it gets there. Or see also chicken pox parties (though I don't know if that's still a thing or even recommended anymore)

What I describe could be understood as extreme since I didn't give enough details, what you describe is opposite extreme and I understand your opinion, would probably have the same.

The golden middle path, as usually, works the best for many after certain point in life. To be more concrete - smaller villages surrounded by vineyards and wild forests, 3 min by car from highway, 20 mins from a million-sized conglomeration with tons of work, 25 min from another bigger city, 5 minutes from beautiful crystal clear 100km wide lake. Village with well-equipped kindergarten, primary and secondary school, few shops and restaurants, in middle of wineyards, on foothills of beautiful mountains, looking at the alps few tens of kms away.

Paradise to many. Expensive one of course. London can be great compared to many places (and its ranked very high on greenery lists), but sorry it doesn't even compare unless you are properly die hard city type.

Some of those metrics were already well within normal forecasts, meaning that they would have been hit simply by overall economic growth not specific to Tesla.

> I think you would agree that Fermat's last theorem isn't true by virtue of its utility for counting sheep or anything like that. Similarly, I don't think that the fact the physical world exists in the manner suggested by sense-data is true by virtue of its utility for preventing us from dying.

I actually would not agree with either of those.

> Are you saying that if there were no humans (or anything capable of encoding propositions) to conceive of it, the proposition "the earth is round" wouldn't be true---in other words, it would not be true that the earth is round? That seems to defy common sense.

Yes, I get that. This is not an easy concept to wrap your brain around, and I totally understand if you think it sounds like I'm absolutely crazy. But nonetheless, it is the case that if there were no humans (or anything capable of encoding propositions) to conceive of it, the proposition "the earth is round" would not be true. The reason is that if there were nothing capable of encoding that proposition, that proposition could not exist. A non-existent thing cannot have any properties, and so a non-existent proposition cannot be true.

Two important things to note: first, the proposition "the earth is round" would not be true in a world where there is nothing capable of encoding propositions, but neither would it be false. It would simply be non-existent. And second, despite the fact that the proposition "the earth is round" would be neither true nor false, the earth would still be round. But we can only make that observation because we live in a world where there are things capable of encoding propositions. It's really hard to imagine a world where that is not the case because we would not exist in such a world.

Here is a thought experiment that might help: consider some proposition P that has never been conceived of and will never be conceived of by anything capable of encoding propositions. Such propositions must exist because there are an infinite number of propositions but we live in a finite universe, and so only a finite number of propositions can ever be encoded. In fact, there must be an infinite number of such propositions. Are those propositions true or are they false?

This might help too:

People with homes also have the option of not whining about homeless people, will they rise to the occasion and seize that opportunity? As is usually the case there's lots of blame to go around, and most everyone expects peak performance from others, but not of themselves and their ingroup.

IMO a large part of the problem, as always, is NIMBYism amplified with lack of proper law enforcement. If you try to build a shelter everyone around it will do everything they can to prevent it. Which I understand because a large part of the homeless population and for sure the most visible one, now just meth and fentanyl and need money to support that habit. Open drug use and catch and release policing is a bad combination and nothing anyone wants near their home. At the same time I hear nothing but terrible things about being inside a shelter which also seems to be a anarcho nightmare of theft and frequent sexual abuse and violence. All these things need to be fixed and some of it is a chicken/egg problem.
From hn guidelines, have you read them?

> Please don't comment on whether someone read an article

And no, it's not exactly the issue being debated. The issue debated is whether people can camp if there is no shelter space.

In my post, I mention the scenario that there is shelter space, but the people who are camping cannot use it based on their behavior.
