Stripe sends 402 errors on failed payments (though their docs currently don't really label the error code correctly)

I've seen a lot of takes on the GPL but this is a new one to me. As another comment points out, you only have to make changes available to others if you make the software itself available to others; either by distributing a binary or by using it to provide a web service.

But this is, fundamentally, the point of "Free" software: someone who uses a piece of software should be entitled to change that software as they desire. This obviously implies that if you make your own modified software available to others, they too must be able to make their own changes.

There's a pretty big difference between notarization on macOS and what's being described here.

I appreciate the response, thanks.

Anti-trust concerns

Good one. People making half a million dollars every year are just a few steps away from slavery because they're paying 50% in taxes.

Define "us" in this question.

"OpenAI is close to becoming a necessity and a human right" is the wildest claim I have heard yet about AI. (Though it's possible that maybe someday I will agree with this).

Or maybe it's because forcibly moving people to the middle of nowhere isn't something most people would consider acceptable.

Do you know how effective rehab is for people who don’t go voluntarily?

The unfortunate reality of drug addiction is that even for people who want out it’s very hard. For people who don’t, it’s quite a lot harder. If there was a magic pill that cured addiction I think we might make different policy choices, but given that there isn’t I don’t see how your plan can really work.

You seem really intent in your comments on this post to conflate drug addiction and homelessness, which are overlapping but definitely separate issues.

Also, there are housing assistance programs for everyone who makes less than a certain amount of money, and I think everyone who advocates for more housing for the homeless would agree with more affordable housing in general. Mostly people who work in this space agree that housing costs are the primary driver of homelessness.

I don’t know how relevant this story is to the question of whether people who are homeless in California are from California.

In any case, the claim was made that the LAHSA data showed something which I found no evidence of, and in fact found that it showed something quite different. Lots of other data also suggest that a large majority of homeless do not come from other places.

If someone wants to share other data about this issue I’m happy to read it.

L.A.H.S.A.’s 2019 homeless count found that 64 percent of the 58,936 Los Angeles County residents experiencing homelessness had lived in the city for more than 10 years. Less than a fifth (18 percent) said they had lived out of state before becoming homeless.

This is an often repeated and false claim.
