They just evicted a homeless guy who was living under a bridge near me, kind of sad, he'd been there a couple years, kept the sidewalk clear and didn't cause anyone problems as far as I could tell.

This will probably be an unpopular opinion but I think the reality is that the choice whether to be a landlord has no effect on the supply of housing and so is almost totally irrelevant to this essentially systemic issue. The only kind of stuff that matters here:

• Supply of housing influencing its cost
• Relative wealth of the poorest influencing their ability to pay for housing
• Other factors (the credit system etc) limiting people's access to housing
• Legal ability to use housing as a speculative investment and store of wealth (ie. low property taxes even if you own multiple properties)

The idea that people would buy property and then provide housing on a charitable basis in defiance of the market isn't realistic and isn't a viable solution to the problem. The only solution is to build the right incentives into the system. Someone can support the latter without trying to do the former.

Since the topic of the movie seems to be the acceptability of someone actually abusing a minor, doesn't seem like it should really matter the specifics of their pathology or internal feelings. The word 'molester' would be a more relevant catch-all term here.

Yes, since not liking or disagreeing with someone isn't the same thing as likelihood they are pushing malicious code. If something is open source that's a really good sign, because they could also push closed source code and be more likely to get away with it that way. More points if it clearly has other eyes on it; even if I am not checking over the code myself, someone probably is for a lot of projects.

It's like "separate art from artist" except even more so because software tends to be even more quantifiable as its own independent thing than art is.

I guess that makes sense. It just frustrates me that the scope of the discussion is all solutions that would not help directly with any problems potentially murderously suicidal teens have in their lives, the growth of those problems which you might imagine is the reason this has become a trend, but instead basically just preventing them from responding destructively.

The biggest thing I feel that I should have bought sooner is the full set of materials needed to do caulking correctly: caulk gun, 100% silicone caulk (infinitely better for stopping leaks, don't try the other stuff on your roof it's useless), wire brush, microfiber cloth, alcohol (cleaning the surface turns out to be not optional and it also can't be wet, alcohol cleans well and dries fast), applicator.

Well yeah. Lots of professions that used to exist just don't anymore because of that stuff, or at least only exist as a small niche where before they employed tons of people. Like "computer" used to be a job people had doing math by hand.

If "progress" here means drugging students to tolerate their circumstances, or holding the threat of pepper spray drones over them (doubt this will stay limited to active shooter scenarios), I think it might be progress in the wrong direction.

I often do the opposite, pick a bright color that is not the color of the base material, to make the repair stand out more.

It would maybe be safer on a custom OS because less malware would target it, but exploits can still exist, at this point I'd say you also should really be using a dedicated device for crypto wallet stuff if you have more than small amounts, whether that's a purpose built hardware wallet, an old phone you reset and have only the wallet app on, etc.

That's just the remote control part.

promises of a free TradingView Premium app for Android. Instead of delivering legitimate software, the ads drop a highly advanced crypto-stealing trojan — an evolved version of the Brokewell malware.

From another source, that works in part by exploiting "accessibility service permissions":

Like other recent Android malware families of its kind, Brokewell is capable of getting around restrictions imposed by Google that prevent sideloaded apps from requesting accessibility service permissions.

This includes displaying overlay screens on top of targeted apps to pilfer user credentials. It can also steal cookies by launching a WebView and loading the legitimate website, after which the session cookies are intercepted and transmitted to an actor-controlled server.

You could go with a more strict gun regulations. Coupled with more help for vulnerable people. And free mental healthcare.

I'm skeptical any of this would be more than a bandaid solution, a large part of the problem has got to be how highschool in the US is just inherently a miserably dehumanizing experience.
