He's looking at citywide data rather than "what is happening to the Spanish Mission down around 24th Street," which is where the "uptick of evictions" comes from and also where the protests are. There was a wave of evictions before around "Mission/Dolores" which is immediately west of Mission Street, but the new ones are east of that street. This is a somewhat run-down neighborhood (compared to Dolores) where everyone speaks spanish and all business is (or was) conducted in spanish. The evictions amount to an attack on one of the last really cheap places to live in SF.
I've only been living here since 2011 but even since then a lot of businesses have been replaced with hipster coffee houses and bars, and a lot of triple deckers have changed hands and then mysteriously burned down. If you lose your apartment in this part of the city you will pay thousands more to get another one just like it, or you won't make that kind of money and literally no longer be able to afford to live anywhere in the city you probably work in. As an example I took the cheapest place I could in 2011 at $1200/month for something about the size of the cube you work in, and I'm sure I am paying more than twice as much as my neighbor. The next cheapest place was $1650, and over by Dolores was about $2k. I look at apartment listings and there's nothing studio sized in the area for less than $2500 now. If our place changed hands and burned I'd be inconvenienced and maybe have to cut back on comic books, but my neighbors would literally have to leave the city. It seems to me they have a legitimate gripe over having their neighborhood ripped out from underneath them, though I don't know what they should do about it. They might start demanding the city intervene or build public housing, but the existing new apartment fees that go into a pool to build public housing either don't get paid or just don't get built.

Except that the rest of the city hasn't had this massive bump in prices. Where I live in the excelsior, prices have barely risen at all in the last decade. No one would need to leave the city - they would just need to leave the hipster hoods.

And find something affordable, until the hipsters find that neighborhood, and then shove over again to make room... I hope I'm misreading your statement, because that attitude is really distasteful. It's not the less-affluent person's fault for living in a neighborhood before it becomes cool.
Maybe the Excelsior has escaped this phenomenon, but the Mission, the Inner and Outer Sunset, the Richmond, the Castro, the Tenderloin, and even Oakland haven't. And those are just the places where I personally know people who are getting priced out. Just because the author can explain gentrification with microeconomics doesn't mean that it isn't real or that it isn't detrimental to the city and its inhabitants.
Having worked at one of these carriers I can tell you that everyone there trips over themselves to help out law enforcement. Everyone is constantly thinking up new ways to help, particularly if it's a service they can charge for or some data they can sell. You can be a part-time meter maid in Cracker Barrel, Arkansas and if you know which number to call you will get pretty much any data on any number you want. There was some bespoke software where the cell numbers of undercover law enforcement are not returned from searches but otherwise the data is voluntarily shared because really the government contracts for cellphones from every vendor are so big who would jeopardize them?
When they get a big public backlash about a thing like this the company's lawyers pop in and remind you of the policies, demand to see that you are following them, etc. but no change occurs.
Well if you feel like you're bored with mundane stuff you could do what I do and take contract work. Most people think it's terrible and occasionally you get some bad companies but most of the time I am hired for a specific project and it's only 3-6 months so I can get everything in place, if I like them maybe clean up a bit of their technical debt, and then find another contract before the boredom sets in.
Other than that I take a ton of wellbutrin instead of adderall. It's ostensibly for depression but the side effect of the extended release tabs is it acts like a mild upper for about 12 hours.
I've never been able to get past the part where I feel like meditation is wasting my time. Other people I know who have this issue mostly beat themselves up at the gym 4-5 times a week. I've spent some time trying that in the past and it helped a little if I took care of it in the morning before work.
You can't patent or copyright a film technique, this thing would never stand up in a court. Unless they had discovered a new kind of camera that was the only way to take the shot, it is not an invention.
It's for two factor auth. When I log into gmail it texts me a number to type in before it lets me in. That way I can use any computer and as long as I log out no one else can log in even if they stole my password. You should use two factor auth if it's available, especially if the email account has business or financial stuff in it.
They changed this in the newer machines, it takes your card and gives it back before the rest of the process now. Also emails you a receipt instead of printing one out.
Of course, I'd prefer they not print my email on the screen in giant bold letters.
I'm a contractor (by choice) so I always laugh when they remind me "the contract stipulates that we will not pay for more than 40 hours under any circumstances" because that just means I'm done with the week by Wednesday.
That isn't his response to the kid's post, it's his response to the original job posting, and it got a lot of points being posted on its own yesterday.
That's what I meant, should have been clearer sorry. I searched on this thread for a link to it. I should have searched the actual site - obviously a Marco post would be there...
