Where have bail laws caused any issue in NY? As a resident I haven't encountered any such issues. I wouldn't call "abandoning a neighborhood" a minor change either. It seems clear to me it's very much a calculated p

This is incredible stretching + straw man to frame this as a political boogey-man (socialism). Do you consider EMT's socialist? They are non-police first responders. Why not make more departments like this to address the massive over-j

Remember back when people had such issue with the language and phrasing of "Black Lives Matter" until people (over 50%, according to recent polls) finally came around after George Floyd? "Abolish the police" is going to

I think you're falling for the straw man here. A quick Google of the phrase yields many nuanced results with plans that sound very much in line with your prescriptions: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2020&

I'm all for killing capitalism, but that doesn't magically solve the inheritance problem. If they would put it all in trusts, then make laws to prohibit that. You need to close all the loopholes of inherited wealth, which goes far

I haven't dug in recently to the CPI, but I wouldn't be surprised to find underlying flaws in the CPI's representation of different groups of people such as people who live in urban areas, people who are in a specific income

When everyone at every point in the pipeline throws their hands up and points the finger in front of them, no one takes action and we end up in the same place. As another reply said, change your recruiting practices to account for this diff

I didn't realize how much I used this or other forms of boolean expression simplification/translation until this comment tbh. Really goes to show that while much of formal CS won't be used in industry, some of it in random pl

You seem to be confusing any exposure with constant exposure, and also type of gross/messed up. Nothing you listed compares to content moderation in severity and volume. Fixing a sewer is gross. Extermination is gross, not traumatic, u

For anyone that's curious, if you put enough money in to buy every single possible ticket (81B), you would get about an APY of 0.00125% per week for an annual APY of 0.06% Not very useful but I guess if you have 81B in cash laying arou

For what its worth, NYC had large protests through all of June and saw no spike. Mask usage was also high through them + regular use of hand sanitizer (handed out by organizers in some cases). It would appear that spikes are a function of e

This feels like another grasp at straws, and one that may backfire quicker than expected based on my experience on the ground. In NYC I've recently noticed that the pandemic has created a much larger focus on delivery and takeout margi

There's a lot that would need to be solved for in the "Culture of Use" section, but true props to the author for thinking outside the box of normalcy. As far as I can see, the only way we can get these types of things impleme

You assume here that NYC's numbers went down via some property of the disease, not a lockdown being observed by the whole city along with high mask usage. Letting this "run its course" would spike NYC and the whole US far abo

That very specific qualm doesn't mean that increased police presence helps though in the higher crime neighborhood. See my previous response, but basically all things can be true. It can (and evidence supports that) at ac basic level:
