After decades of inaction, states are finally stepping up on housing
  • In my opinion, if Newsom is anything worth his salt, he would invest public funds into tiny homes and basically guaranteed jobs for the homeless, rather than being cool with things like:

    • living in the BART facilities
    • living in tents on the street
    • being rounded up into random buildings/facilities because Xi is coming
    • $20 minimum wage for everyone but Panera Bread since the CEO is my friend

    Newsom, literally with the stoke of a pen, could invest public funds into helping the homeless in a provable way, yet he does not. The only conclusion I can come to is that he does not want to.

    Please, convince me otherwise, but the state of, at least, SF under Newsom (and big tech, admittedly) has greatly deteriorated

  • Black Kansas City teen Ralph Yarl sues white man who shot him for ringing the doorbell
  • sparked a national conversation [sparked] around gun violence as well as “stand your ground” and "castle doctrine," both self-defense laws."

    this. This, is the headline.

    The whole "black man killed by white man" is just race baity.

    You're hired

  • After decades of inaction, states are finally stepping up on housing
  • Feel free to explain why Newsom has been campaigning on solving homelessness in California for ~10 years but only made progress when Xi Jinping visited recently, and also why he hadn't taken the exact same actions sooner. It's the same reason, after all.

  • Know-your-customer executive order facing stiff opposition from cloud industry
  • Delete hosted cloud. Move back to hosting your own. When every cloud is different (since it's built and configured by some random IT and DevOps people for that company) it becomes much harder to find an exploit than it is in the big 3 cloud providers. Security by obscurity.

    Cloud services targeting governments are just a giant scam (e.g. FedRamp). They are just as vulnerable as everything else, the only difference is some slick salesperson was able to land a contract by talking about how much money it would save by not having to hire "expensive engineers" directly. This is exactly where it leads, and it's not a surprise, it's a known known in big tech.

  • What animated film or tv show is this?
  • I feel this same way about most the Disney live action remakes. I thought they were enjoyable blasts from the past (for me) but the internet and critics absolutely hated them which was puzzling. I guess I also have felt the same way about remakes where the actor is a different race than the original lore... Who cares?

    "Oh noes, Snow White is no longer a 'damsel in distress' being kissed by a random dude while she is... checks notes... Unconscious!?!? AND the actress is Hispanic???? This ruins my life" - literally conservatives so much so that Disney cancelled it.

    Some people's kids smhmh

  • After decades of inaction, states are finally stepping up on housing
  • If Newsom wanted to he could probably solve the crisis over night, just like he did when Xi Jinping visited.

    In Utah they have been constructing "tiny homes" instead of more "shelters". I think it's a pretty good idea and, if I remember correctly, the only requirements to qualify are have the need and be drug free. Seems like a much better solution than shared spaces which often turn out to be quite dangerous for many reasons.

  • I lost mine
  • Been doing it for ~5 years with 0 scratches.... If you have an iPhone maybe they are too delicate, but I also feel like iPhones (in the US at least) don't have SIM cards since Apple has that G.I. Joe - Kung-Fu grip

  • Black Kansas City teen Ralph Yarl sues white man who shot him for ringing the doorbell
  • If a man ~50 years younger than me that I don't recognize/know knocks on my door at night, regardless of his race, I would be concerned. Would I just shoot him? No. Would an 80 year old man just shoot him? apparently, I guess... But equating it to racism, without any evidence, is simple race baiting...

    The old man is clearly in the wrong, that doesn't mean he is racist just because the kid was black

  • Thoughts on Hong Kong urbanism?
  • no green spaces

    Did you look at the picture or read the post?

    There is literally green space taking up ~70% of the promenade pictured and OP says botanical garden on the roof....

    It's not a forest, but it's also not simply concrete
