"Fix housing, provide housing for the mentally ill."

This sounds so simple. So how would that work in practice?

Step 1, every mentally ill homeless person in SF gets free housing (free, because they often have no income - if you make them pay even a small rent, many will drop out).

Steps 2 to N? Homeless people from the entire rest of the world will have incentive to get free housing in SF. Even in the US proper there is enough of them to swamp the system of one city, and the city which starts with the policy first will receive a stream of outsiders, given one-way bus tickets from their original locations.

At that moment, you cannot avoid introducing barriers for newcomers, because the system is too open to exploitation. And "newcomers" include both people from afar and locals who suddenly turn up at the office and say "well, I am mentally ill and I want a free apartment".
The less charitable name for this is called sociopathy
For me the real kicker was that Boeing convinced the FAA that the aircraft did not need redundant Angle of Attack sensors, even though they knew that this meant that there was a single point of failure in a system which had control authority (ie, MCAS).

Boeing did not disclose the existence of MCAS to pilots, and therefore did not train the pilots on how to recover from MCAS failure, and there was no redundancy in the key sensors that fed MCAS.

IIRC at least one of the crashes was caused by an AoA sensor failure.
Yeah, you could certainly make an older OS work quite nicely on such hardware. You can even cram Linux into such devices, but it's not going to give a smooth interface
lol, people and bands have been complaining about it for 30 years and it’s only gotten worse. Yes, you could skip concerts for the rest of your life, I suppose, to make a point. But it’s not going to fix anything.

Think of Systemd like GNU. They stick their name on all the software they make, even if it doesn't require only using their software. E.g. you can use GNU BASH without using GNU Sed. You can use Systemd-boot without using Systemd-journald.
> If this happened on an Airbus plane it wouldn't have ended up on the front page.

Because Airbus weren't shown, publicly, on multiple occasions, to be a bunch of incompetent fools failing to do basic manufacturing things well. Do you need a reminder that Boeing and their supplier Spirit failed at basics such as tracking who did what work, drilling holes, remembering to put back bolts they took out, tracking their work in the required systems, etc.

There is zero trust in Boeing doing the right thing, and every little detail of their operation needs to be under intense scrutiny to insure their incompetence and cost cutting do not kill any more people. Why did they change the adhesive on the oxygen masks? Did they test it enough?
The 'local' people were workers brought to the island by the British, and then forced to leave the island once the job ended.

Generally building UKIs is the intended output, but the only thing that tells systemd to pivot into an actual root is if it boots into the `initrd.target` unit, which by default it does when `/etc/initrd-release` exists. Other than that USIs and UKIs aren't very different.

To answer the question if its planned: yes. It is officially supported to build USIs, just its not an explicit output format since its just a slightly different UKI (from a systemd perspective).

> I don't see the point of providing a standalone exe version that does not work?

Which download did you use?

For windows there's really only an .msi which installs everything, and a .zip which needs to be unzipped and have the executable file run from inside the uncompressed directory.

The files it's complaining about missing should next to the .exe inside the unpacked directory. If you move the .exe elsewhere, or just extract it by itself, it's not going to work.

I was sceptical at first as I very much remember Windows 8 RT, but it seems pretty good. Now I'm curious if ARM can beat x86 in the high-performance desktop market as well. More efficiency is great for less power usage in laptops, but can it also mean more scalable performance in desktops?
It is one program. If P=NP then the body of the program consists of "print(P=NP)". And otherwise it consists of "print(P!=NP)". [1]

Similarly for every hash function there exists a program that outputs a hash collision in well under a second. Just hardcore any collision and print it to the screen. [2]

[1] If you want to be pedantic then there's a third option that prints some more complicated statement about the relationship between standard axioms and P?=NP.

[2] Please don't ruin my short argument by pointing out that someone can create a hash function with output size in the petabytes range :)
Null mean nothing but not zero. In Tamil language it is called as Paazh. Zero is called as Suzhiyam.
This is also another problem and a reason to strictly stick to string type unions, IMO.

There may be a really good use case for the enum type, but I think in most cases, string type unions are clearer, easier, and less prone to errors.

Not really the same thing or even comparable, AFAICS, no.

EtchaOS is for building a custom immutable distro, but it is a conventional distro with a root partition.

This is a distro which doesn't have a root partition. It doesn't just boot from the UEFI ESP: it fits entirely into it, with no other partitions.
Fortunately I was just doing a Masters so the fact that my thesis (in Material Science) ended up mostly just being some basic characterization of an alloy (grain growth, hardness, Xray crystallography) didn't really matter. It was sort of a dead-end and my thesis advisor shortly thereafter dropped research in the area to focus on his other interest where he was very successful (water ice). Things would probably have been a lot uglier had it been a PhD.

Alfalfa is used to feed farm animals like pigs and cows. But we export 70% of what we grow in California to Japan and China. The Japanese raise Kobe beef with it and send it back to us for $200 per pound. The Chinese use it to raise pigs to meet their rapidly expanding demand for pork as they become more affluent and eat more meat.

Why don’t they grow their own alfalfa? Because they are short of water and it is so much cheaper to buy ours. In fact, alfalfa has become an instrument for exporting subsidized water.

Digital tickets for anything that uses tickets, deeds for transfer of real property, execution of contracts, etc.

Any use case in which some blob of data corresponds to an individually specifiable concrete thing is a suitable use case for NFTs.

The problem with the speculative frenzy a few years ago was that the NFTs in question did not convey ownership over anything -- people were trading the NFTs themselves rather than using them as deeds/contracts/tickets corresponding to some other external asset. If the NFTs were used to convey copyright ownership or exclusive usage rights to the underlying artwork, they'd have made a lot more sense, but as it played out, people were paying huge sums of money for what amounted to tickets to nowhere.
I’ve never dealt much with TicketMaster, despite them being a monopoly. So my questions here may just be out of naiveté:

1) Why would TicketMaster pay event organizers ahead of time, if the event might be shit and attendees may demand their money back? Rather than having to deal with a lot of chargebacks and making it their own problem with the banks, they might prefer to make sure the event goes off without a hitch and refund people while they still can. Rather than subsidizing the refunds they make the event organizer have to get (and pay for) financing instead, backed by their payout. They might also offer such financing.

2) I get that they hold event organizers hostage by making contracts with the venues for years, that might be an antitrust issue but it’s separate from 1.

3) Why would TicketMaster make scalping easy? Middlemen would just buy up all the tickets and then pump and dump the price, much like early crypto investors in a meme token or altcoin do. So they don’t “deliver” the ticket to you until just before the event, exactly for that reason.

With ChatGPT it’s now easier than ever to impersonate thousands of people at scale, with credit cards and everything. But I will admit, showing up to an event at least once confirms there is a human behind the account. But a first-timer buyer? Shouldn’t be able to resell, no.
I’ve been doing this for years and have never had any problems with it. It is more likely that generic emails will be generated if you have a domain that is also present as a public website on the internet.
> How can you avoid reselling if you don't verify the original purchaser?

A ticket scalper cannot know the names of the people that will later purchase his tickets. So connecting each ticket to a name prevents scalpers.
I'm not sure. The only thing in there besides busy box and apj is the kernel and a bunch of text files.

In EtchaOS, the entire distro is contained within the initrd file. So I guess it's technically two files, kernel and initrd, but still similar.

UKIs and similar are nice but don't play well with secure boot (unless you setup your own signing) and BIOS boot.
One of the senior devs (Martin) spent a loooot of time optimising the CSV import process. Many different approaches using sample data sets (from rough memory) of between 800MB and a few GB I think.
Sending stock quotes, scores, weather, etc. reminds me of a service that Google used to offer via text message. I used that a ton before I got my first smartphone: text W[ZIP code] to 46645 (GOOGL) and it would text back the weather. Same for stock:[symbol] and many other things I've since forgotten. Of course Google killed it, but it was neat while it lasted!
> Marketing people write a lot more

European PhD programs generally assume you already have a Masters in the subject so they skip most of the grad level courses and they typically don't do things like rotations either. You have a lab and some project to start on day 1. It's still overall faster to finish in Europe but the difference isn't as extreme as it sounds, assuming you do go for the Masters first.
While this presentation is extremely interesting, it would have been far more useful if you would have exported this view into a downloadable PDF file, instead of giving access to just this ephemeral preview.
>Why don’t they grow their own alfalfa? Because they are short of water

In Japan's case it's because they are short on land owing to the fact they're on small islands, of which the inland areas are mostly mountains. They have limitless water.
Windows on ARM was already very decent on virtualized Apple Silicon, running x86 binaries without much fuzz, they sure have been working on it in the background ever since Windows RT.
It's an actual native app (Qt5). ;)
I've found this bias to be useful with two main exceptions:

1. It's nice if you can avoid using Postgres to store large files.
2. It's nice if you can avoid using Postgres for an event stream with massive volume (say billions of records per month that must be maintained and queried).

Postgres will work for either of these, but there are real advantages that come if you can keep your database lighter than these allow for.
Tbf, this does sound like a fairly efficient anti-scalper strategy, so I guess there's at least some upside to this mess.
I'm sure this isn't the intention of their regulation, but water rationing is a great way to encourage people to move to where the water already is.
Theoretical yes. But never had that. It is more likely that generic, non existant emails like info@domain.com, admin@domain.com, etc. will be generated if you have a domain with a public website.

?? Can you link to anywhere where they accept blame for their emissions?
Along the same lines, there are some programming contests that use a web based system for submitting solutions. They often restrict internet access to just the contest website, but a motivated user could use the same trick with the user profile fields to sneak information in/out.

As a bonus one of those contest systems allows users to upload a profile photo, which would greatly increase the bandwidth!
> If I have an ID in a cookie that links to these groupings, it is not necessarily the same as a GDPR breach.

I guess this may be unintuitive if you're used to "letter of the law" interpretations but the GDPR is very much a "spirit of the law" directive. You don't get around its requirements with technicalities, especially not in combination with the ePrivacy directive which further fleshes out some of the implementation specifics for cookies and such (e.g. your consent modal needs to give equal weight to "reject all" and "accept all" if it does not emphasize the former and the former must be a one-click option not hidden behind a second dialog step).

The type of data mentioned in the part you cited enjoys special protection in the GDPR so you better have a watertight justification for collecting and processing that data.

To be clear:

- Assigning a unique ID to a user across requests is GDPR-relevant (i.e. you likely require consent)

- Associating that ID with demographic segments like those mentioned in TFA is GDPR-relevant (i.e. you likely require consent for tracking that data even if you infer it)

It doesn't matter whether you explicitly collect demographic data or infer it based on behavioral data you collect. There's no way to "privacy-wash" this data. All the rights defined in the GDPR still apply to that data.

If you want "clean" demographic data, you need to generate it without using any data originating from the user and you can not tie it to the user in any way (such as with an ID). So your testing environment using `faker` to generate test customer data is safe. Any production environment is not.

I keep saying this but it's best to consider all forms of PII radioactive: you want to avoid it if possible, you need special containment procedures to handle it and you need to audit where any of it came from and where it went until you destroy it.

"several bytes per second"
Was thinking something similar in the Boeing thread. Force the company to issue a significant number of new common stock, and transfer them to a fund.
conflating them has been the official policy of both prc and taiwan since the prc was founded, as well as of the un, and it shows little sign of changing. in day-to-day life, there is an enormous flow of money, technical information, hardware, and skilled workers back and forth between taipei and shenzhen. taipei is a 20-minute flight away from fuzhou. the idea of maintaining a 'technology gap' between the prc and the roc is more wishful thinking, like the idea of maintaining a technology gap between california and washington, or between france and germany. i mean, at least france and germany speak different languages

In theory that sounds nice, but in practice percentage fines will just result in layoffs of people who are low on the totem pole.

Any danger that comes at a big enough company will just result in the company using workers as chaff. At least in the states.

Fines should be at minimum "all the money you made doing this / percentage of chance of getting caught", to keep the profit expectation at 0.
4 first author pubs? Maybe this is field dependent but that sounds like a pretty extreme requirement. The most I've seen formally required in my field is 1 first author peer reviewed pub, but many programs don't even set that as an official requirement anymore.
> It is not about food type, it is about how it's produced.

It absolutely is!

A single cow produces around 220 pounds of methane and around 200 pounds of ammonia per year. That's equivalent to 5ish gigatons of CO2, again per cow per year, so this really makes no sense.

Why not compare to how much food you can produce on the same land with some sustainable cereal?

I bet you, there's no less than 30 times more food at a fraction of the emissions.

Another anecdote for your collection: my father fell off a ladder last year - not far enough to sustain any injury, but far enough to catch his ring slightly in trying to regain his balance. Finger ended up swelling enough that the ring was a problem, ended up having to be cut off.

I wouldn’t have imagined that a fall off of the second step of a ladder could result in the destruction of a 40 year old wedding ring either, but here we are!
Industrial feed lots are the problem to be more specific. We can't lump together all ways animals can be raised and say cows are the problem when the real culprit is one method of raising cattle.

I raise cattle on pasture and 95% of the time they're drinking from our ponds that are filled by a combination of rainwater and natural springs.

Cows aren't the problem. Industrial cattle production based on feedlots and an insanely centralized infrastructure is.
Taking a decision to build a nuclear power plant on a fault line always is.

Better plan would probably be to build a nuclear plant in Arizona and export the power to California. Use some of it for desalination. Then export water to Arizona.
