I'm assuming/hoping there'll be a button to click to undo that. Typical California regulations.... All flash and no substance.

The support person said it was due to "Standby power". It seems extremely bogus to me TBH.

We should figure out who McDonalds' ice cream machine maker is and ask them why their product keeps breaking down.

As someone who had the pleasure of working with dang for several years, HN and its moderation team are some of the calmest and most considerate people I've ever met. The CCP has zero say in how HN operates. For the most part the users

Indeed true, if you are on one of those big providers and they're failing you there's not much to lose aside from your own time/money by DIY'ing it. The ESP business is basically all about volume and if you need special

Its weird they didn't test with ZFS, UFS/FFS or ReiserFS.

This doesn't sound like a good deal for the average business with zero experiencing managing their mail. One spam block and you're done, you'll spend at least a week dealing with that.

I'm with you on that. It feels like these things are being written by academics who've never bothered to understand the world around them.

Is this why they're trying to stop teaching algebra in 7th grade? I saw very little about teaching math and more about "you should do this instead" or "these students won't understand your examples because of [some

I used to do this with csh to annoy a certain friend, awk would've been pretty good too TBH.

I like this, curious if the interpretations are legally survivable but still very cool.

AFAIK "Skid Row" is a generic term, and I did reference SF's specific area. This is basically what you'll see every few feet in San Francisco's Tenderloin district: https://twitter.com/DTenderloine&#

Housing has very little to do with it. SF has always been an expensive city to live in and its surrounded with suburbs with affordable housing. There are almost no homeless people in the surrounding areas because they come to SF for drugs a

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/26/us/san-francisco-drug-cri... Here's a current article written by a local advocate, its unfortunately paywalled but you're probably aware of ways around that.

No, the ACLU sued and its now the law of the land, its probably impossible to undue. Uninformed people blame Reagan for "closing the institutions" but you can't have an institution and nobody to put in it...

That number came from an expert. They also asserted that if our local DA actually did something about dealing on the streets we'd lose that same number of homeless people and they'd return to wherever they came from before SF, or

Its not an incredibly small number of people exploiting the system, its 95% of people in this system.

Yes, speaking with experts makes one informed. Even the Mayor of SF has talked about how SF has drug tourists and how they need to be prevented from receiving services. You don't seem to be very informed about SF.

I'm from SF, I know exactly where "skid row" was, and I also worked there for about a decade. Nobody was shipped in from other parts of the city either unless you count people moving from other counties to where meth/her

SF always had a "skid row" area that was mostly alcoholics, but it was a fraction of the size it is now (it was basically a block or two). Now we have an entire neighborhood besieged with people openly using drugs, needles in thei

Because its illegal to commit someone to an institution who hasn't comitted a crime. San Francisco is trying a new approach but has only managed to get ONE person into conservatorship in the last 2 years because of all the roadblocks p

I've spoken with several people working directly with the homeless, 95% of the people on the street are not from SF, most of them are told to say they're from SF so they can get services. There are tons of fake/stilted report

Unclear. From what I can tell people seem to think that letting people languish/die on the street by choice is the right thing to do. I'd prefer that we look at addiction as a disease and a public health risk and that we get those

Its not caused by lack of housing, the people on the street are incapable of supporting themselves much less maintaining a dwelling - have you ever been here? Our homeless are mostly drug-seeking tourists who are from elsewhere. The Reagan

In SF our homelessness is driven by drug abuse and the lack of ability to put addicts and the mentally ill into conservatorship, its well documented. > If we're on the subject of compassion, millions who are no longer able to acquir
