Of course size matters. Finland’s homelessness likely coalesces around its largest urban areas, as they provide the most foot traffic and anonymity (and homeless services) with the least annoyed population. Like in every country.

So most likely Helsinki.

If your pool of possible homeless is 5M and they gather in a city the size of 600k it is a hugely different situation than say San Francisco, which is 800k and draws from 330M possible homeless

Sorry, not a native speaker and in a hurry. Edited it. Thanks

I think both are valid points: Finland has less inhabitants than London and besides maybe from Swedes, Russians and Lapps no large minority groups, of which the aforementioned most likely don’t instill ambiguity about how they obtained their citizenship and why. Studies show that homogenous countries have less objections to social welfare programs aka income redistribution [0].

Amen.

I would always choose my 2020 lowest specced M1-MBA over my highend specced Intel-MBP from 2017.

Not only are they hot, they are also loud. You notice when intel users join a video conference because of the constant fan-noise [1].

Not to mention that the constant heat comes with rediculous malfunctions over time.

I considered leaving the platform until the Apple Silicon CPUs arrived. I currently run a kubernetes cluster on my new MBP with 13 pods plus 2 dev servers for some Java BE and another for a web-FE - no fan-noise!

Exactly. He’s proving my point w/o even noticing it

and why has it been so confusing?

For the same reason, that this post will quickly vanish from the HN front page, be shadow banned or outright flagged - a huge proportion of the well to do E-Mail class can’t stand a debate.

It’s “follow the science” (ie STFU)- even though science inevitably has debate at its footing.

Not obscure by itself, but gifted with obscurity due to its language‘s success: JavaScript‘s Map type.

Just because of the Type being introduced very late to the language, and another very successful method named identically makes it almost impossible to google your way out of any situation.

You have to rely on core documentation and link lists. Just by using “new Map()” in JS, you’re suddenly ehem mapped 30 years back in time!

We need a new word for de-unicorned startups.

I‘m visualizing a unicorn that after a second look turned out to be a mule with litter stuck on his head…

Says the EU: All the more reasons to have all traffic preemptively scanned and filtered (for thee) ;-)

I understand how users register and login on a device - but it gets complicated when wanting to allow users to couple multiple devices to an account.

Anyone here with recommendations?

Say you registered via smartphone and now want to login on the desktop - do you tell the desktop user to grab his mobile safari, login and pull up some PIN-No which then to type into the desktop client?

And how would people recover accounts if their devices are lost?

I guess technically one can always come up with some solution - but while FIDO gives a unified, cross-device way for users to login and register – it’s the complete opposite when it comes to the aforementioned issues
