“This year's "counts reflect a considerable lessening of the impact the COVID-19 pandemic on shelter use," the department's report said.
Pandemic-era social safety net programs expired throughout the year, such as income protections and eviction moratoria.”
Pretty terrible reporting tbh. The above seems to be the executive summary. Also worth noting it’s the highest count since 2007, which is interesting on its own. Why was 2007 so high?
Trust is simple. If you can’t trust your own family, who can you trust? Families, that is the answer. Oddly, the trend is in the opposite direction; trust media, trust government, trust apple, OpenAI, etc…. Things will get better when that trend reverses.
Is it really useful to think in black and white teleological terms? “Post-trust” just sounds a bit sophomoric/marxist. Like “late stage capitalism” or something similarly presumptuous.
Freud’s thinking was dynamic and dialectical. I think you’re acknowledging that when you say he has to be taken as a whole. There are parts of that whole that are inconsistent, parts that were added and removed, a ship of Theseus grand theory of personality. His seduction theory is a good example of the dialectical aspect of his theorizing, but there are many others. So I agree, it is the process that describes the Freudian “analytic” approach, moreso than a specific construct or summation of his theory (theories?) as it (they) existed at any particular point during or after his lifetime.
My argument is that perceptions matter more than reality. Disagreeing on the grounds that my argument is not reality is not a dismissal, but I certainly understand that you do not perceive things as such. You are only one anecdote out of many.
They’ve been talking about this stuff for decades now. I recall the trailer park suing the hotel over their view being obstructed. And then there’s the CCC, who I imagine will get engaged when a 12 story luxury high rise gets planted at the south end of pacific avenue. It’s the perfect solution if you want to ensure nothing actually happens.
Perhaps not billion dollar, but shouldn’t it give some participation trophies? How else to entice innovation in certain areas, especially when the interest rates are killing small tech outfits.
I don’t think moves like this, where the government acts in an adversarial capacity to successful businesses that it previously supported, will do a lot to attract new capital or technologists. If anything, I’d worry such capriciousness discourages investment in the area. If Musk can’t make it work, what odds do the rest of us face. At least that would be my concern, about how this is received by the wider tech community.
Nobody really makes any choices if you think about people biologically. I like to think people have some freedom and therefore some responsibility. Not too much. But some.
Ok, that’s a fair point. Imagine you’re Bjarne Stroustrup, sure he doesn’t consider himself a c++ programmer, and he isn’t worried about his employment prospects, but he still has a vested interest in this issue.
Ok fine, then to quote the parent to whom I was responding, “Rust advocates.”
I am willing to bet that most of those “Rust advocates” are programmers who code in Rust but I’m fine with not calling them that. I agree that good programmers should be able to work in different languages, operating systems, countries.
But, on the other hand it’s not. The government is a virtual monopsony. One customer has unappealing requirements and you can choose not to serve them. The federal government saying don’t hire c devs will hurt c devs. C devs will be understandably dismayed by this.
My point stands. These are not uncommon cases. The justice system has obvious flaws and frequently goes awry. Mistaken identity, false testimony, wrongful convictions should be common knowledge.
“ true that potatoes are high in starch or carbohydrates, the nutrients that cause spikes in blood sugar. But pairing them with foods high in protein, fiber and unsaturated fats can slow digestion and lead to a steadier release of glucose into the bloodstream.”
Which suggests you should add toppings or else potatoes are not very healthy if eaten on their own. (I think they’re fairly high up on the glycemic index).
I disagree with some of this. I think if you work with international teams, half of the time of day stuff is in play no matter what. But in general I sort of agree that we should all try to work slower/work fewer hours, for the good of society. But we shouldn’t harass those who have more time and interest in the work they’re doing and want to work more, or those who might need more breaks or work most optimally at a slower pace. We should care about workers collectively and individually, I think.
Money laundering/pork claims coming from the usual suspects not withstanding, I’m hopeful that the technology that gets developed under this helps boost California’s miserable failure in connecting Fresno to Visalia or wherever it’s located currently.
Biden has gotten a lot of bad press but you can’t deny the economy is doing much better than most people were predicting a year ago. Even perma bull Jamie Dimon said “a storm was coming” (sic) but here we are with unemployment at 3.7%. The best time for American workers since last decade.
My sensitivity appeared to change after living in a moldy apartment. I originally scoffed that mold was an overhyped problem, but it caused problems for me that persist years later. I am now very sensitive to damp/moldy air and have to take an allergy pill everyday for indoor allergies.
