my comment was made dead for backing up the claim that US funding to the Ukrainian government pays for Ukrainian government salaries. Hardly conspiriatorial and completely what you'd expect the money to be doing if you are trying to help a country not collapse. Nonetheless, I get downvoted and flagged because I didn't google it for people. Maybe they think that all the money sent goes to buying Eee PC's so the children of Ukraine can learn to read and write good.
of course it means military support, you are trying to stop a government from collapsing, part of that is paying the bills (which include salaries). I don't understand why you are taking issue with that? - doesn't the US government (federal) "shutdown" when debt extensions can't be agreed upon?
my original statement is 'its public knowledge that the US government is funding the Ukrainian government with its day to day expenses'. I think I've shown that. as for your douche comment, it's rather pathetic that when you get called out, you resort to calling me a douche and a 'crazy internet person'. The projection is strong I guess.
I just downloaded this to give it a trial and so far my exprience has been infuriating. I go to quick open a file - it takes 5 seconds to provide me a suggestion, I select my suggestion and hit enter, nothing, I double click, nothing, I hit the space bar, nothing.... Okay, let me maximise the window, I double click the window title, nothing, hmm, let me double click where the window controls are, nothing. It hardly feels 'Mac native'.
edit: after typing this out and letting it rest in the background, the quick open now actually opens a file.
I'm sorry it's working so poorly for you. 2.0 has some performance issues that do make it seem more like slow-open in a number of situations. We're working on it.
no and no. I'm getting mighty sick of this attitude 'pls respect artists! they are all crying right now'.
how come game devs / artists are the only ones that should never have their work seen before they deem it to be 'ready', how many devs in other industries have had to push work to the public before they deem it 'ready'. I personally like having the 'curtain pulled back' so to speak, it's interesting to see the amount of work that goes into making a game / movie / whatever.
If rumors are correct, the leaker has the source code also, but hasn't chosen to release that. I'm pretty sure that releasing the source code would be seen as more of a dick move than just showing a video of some dev tools. I'm pretty sure we've all `stolen` software at some stage in our lives (looking at you Adobe), are we meant to be pearl-clutching over that also?
the problem being that a large majority of the homeless in SF aren't "your people". They aren't SF locals, they move there for the benefits and the nice weather.
Yeah, I'm aware. In one of my comments here, I link to a piece I wrote with a title along the lines of "I believe California is the dumping ground for the nation's homeless."
We have a nationwide shortage of affordable housing. The fact that the homeless flock to someplace temperate and relatively dry with soup kitchens and such in no way changes my point: Money cannot buy what does not exist to be bought. Anywhere in the US.
We need to fix our housing supply issues. We need to fix it across the nation, not just in SF. SF is suffering disproportionately, but my point stands: Throwing money at the homeless won't fix this. The solutions they need aren't out there. They need to be built.
SF has spent over $3B on the homeless over the last 5 years, and the pop continues to skyrocket along with rampant crime and drug use. Money isn’t the issue, at least in this case
The point about closing institutions because of abuse is not wrong. The solution isn't to close them and push the mentally ill out on the street, it's fix the institutions!
^ 100% agree, some mentally ill people just need to be in an institution, where they can either get the care and treatment they need - and hopefully be cured and become a functional member of society - or at least where the amount of harm they are able to cause to themselves (and society) can be minimised.
