Are we talking fediveese hackers? You know, the socialist-furries-with-UNIX-socks hackers?

Those folks hate cars, not trains. I don't think we need to worry.

Yeah it's missing the text, "...then the Planck X would be..." for the first two.

I don't think this is the black and white issue that the headline suggests.

Homeless advocates appear to be on board with this, at any rate: https://www.kqed.org/news/12047353/heres-why-sf-homeless-advocates-are-glad-lurie-ditched-push-for-1500-shelter-beds

It sounds like the "more beds" campaign promise was somewhat misguided, as slapping a bandaid on homelessness isn't a fix; more beds is, to an extent, just for show. Hopefully we'll be able to get actual, research-based solutions to homelessness here.

I'm not super optimistic, but changing course on a campaign promise because the experts and advocates say your current plan is bad shouldn't be criticized out of hand IMHO.

You're not just "sticking it to the man" when you do this though


you're being a dick to your city, its residents, and employees.

Move ‘em 2 millimeters in the wrong direction and you’ll have a bad time

Are you referring to getting, I dunno, yogurt in places outside the digestive tract?

My understanding was that gut bacteria play a pretty crucial (beneficial) role in overall health, not to mention the whole gut-brain stuff.

Pretty sure those "horrible little scalawags" play some pretty crucial roles in the human microbiome...

Or just a San Francisco resident


these ads are everywhere on BART (+Muni I guess) right now. (As far as ads go, they're pretty good I guess


and no, I don't even use them, much less work for them.)

For back-of-the-envelope or mental calculations, pi is often 3 or 10^(1/2).

The latter is better than 1% accurate, and has nice properties when doing order-of-magnitude/log space calculations in base 10.
