Eh, even if we use encryption it'll still be a problem in a couple decades thanks to quantum computers

They're not doing that. No city is doing that. Your way of thinking leads to punishing people for being poor.

Very true, but that's a frontend problem, not a rails problem.

Idk, that feels like an accounting trick to me. Sure, it's technically profitable now, but only because they get to reap the benefit of a network effect without paying for it. I agree with you though, profitability is an impossible goa

The shinkansen is not equivalent to business class travel. Flights between Tokyo and Osaka cost roughly half of a shinkansen ticket, but that doesn't include transport to and from the airport. It also takes way more time to fly, includ

That's leaving out the part where they were privatized and the government ate the entire cost of building the infrastructure up to that point

But wait, that means there 8 unemployed people without money to spend on our business... Oh I know! Get the government to give everyone money! Just not so much money that they can compete with us!

You can just look it up if you're interested

Yes it was. You can't see it because the original post was flagged.

What's your point? What are you even arguing here? You started at questioning if wealth inequality lead to the current situation, and now you abandoned that point and moved on to claiming SF is unique (it's not), and going off on

There's no leap, but we don't even need to have that conversation. Poverty exists, which leads to homelessness. This is not because of "local SF and California" policies. Homelessness is a problem in nearly every North A

I'm sure you can see how after your first justification fell through, you just came up with another one that supports your point of view. This is called post hoc reasoning, or, in tech, decision-based data-making.

Rent control regulation is great for tenants, which means it's great for keeping people housed. If that means being a landlord isn't lucrative enough, that's fine, the government can absorb that capacity and build social hous

You're right that it's nothing inherent to tech, it's about the money coming in and displacing the existing communities. It just so happens that that money came from tech. People are talking as if this is the city's prob

The "market" doesn't dictate that. Policy has kept housing expensive in SF by not building enough supply, by not regulating rents, but not building better public transit infrastructure. And it's the rich advocating again

As the other comment pointed out, you got your cities mixed up. I hope this serves as a wake up call to you that your biases are preventing you from seeing the whole picture.

Nobody is turning to drugs because they're left destitute on the streets in Singapore

Yes. Wealth inequality => poverty => homelessness => despair => substance abuse => "havoc" It really doesn't seem that complicated to me. Countries that have affordable housing and jobs don't have this pro

Are city officials handing out money to them? Because that's what was claimed. Not that there are people asking for money.

by amrocha 4y ago
In well run cities and countries this doesn't happen in the first place. Stop criminalizing poverty and try actually solving the problem.

Mate, they're not literally handing out money.

It's possible to tolerate the cause without tolerating the consequences?

Singapore has social housing and minimal unemployment so maybe once SF gets there we can have this conversation.

lol Way to absolve tech of any blame and blame those dirty poor homeless addicts. Clearly there's absolutely no reason for these people to exist! They just do!

Arresting people doesn't address the reason they committing crimes in the first place. The issue is poverty and wealth inequality. The truth is tech ruined the city. SF used to be a city of misfits, who don't usually have high inc

When I lived in Canada I worked 35 hours per week as a full time employee. It wasn't kept track of though, and as long as you're getting your work done you're good. Now I live in Japan and work 40 hours per week, and all empl

Salt changes how things cook. It's not a matter of just adding the right amount at the end.

Stop strawmanning. I already acknowledged Canada's system needs to be better. Waitlists can be solved. A system that is fundamentally discriminatory can't. I'm glad you got the care you needed, but in order for you to get tha

The engineering doesn't depend on the prompt. If you can't build without the LLM you're not an engineer.
