Fun fact: Michael Healy in the second photo lives in Larry Ellison’s old house in Oakland. He also has a book on Amazon.
The homeless and those issues pretty much only exist in the tourist areas near downtown, the tenderloin, soma, etc. The tourists come and see all of that and get the idea SF is some horrible dystopia, but unless you live in those areas, it's not a problem. I lived in Noe Valley for 3 years and never ran into a single problem from your list. SF is so much more than downtown.
If you want evidence of widespread upheaval, just look at California's weather data over the past few decades. It's consistently gotten hotter and dryer, causing more and more fires that are killing hundreds of people per year and destroying entire towns. It's not about believing in climate change, it's about *understanding* it. It's very real.

What advantage does this provide over Apple's CoreML?

Seriously, I take BART daily and it would benefit greatly from the biggest gates they can find. So many of BART's problems are caused by fare evasion.

I did the exact same thing. Used Scoot for years in SF and just bought a Sprint 150. It's nice being able to go up hills full speed now.

Where does this leave Storyboards? I can't see complex UI being built in SwiftUI
They also own the client so it'd be trivial to send the data back to Facebook after it's decrypted on the client. It'd be really stupid to do that, but it's Facebook.
they will use blockchain analysis

Tumbling the coins would help with this, right?

The reason the WiFi and Bluetooth controls now work the way they do is to leave Apple's accessories (Watch, Pencil, etc.) connected and working while disconnecting you from other networks and devices.

What? Venmo doesn't show you the payment amount for others' transactions.

Wouldn't different people want different things on their whitelist/blacklist? AFAIK Pi-hole doesn't offer a way to do that.
Re:Etsy slashes almost a quarter of its staff on Wednesday June 21, 2017 @03:08PM (#14606965)
I also sell 3D printed items and they did the exact same thing to my account. I just emailed them and they had me send pictures of my workspace and process to prove my items are "handmade" and my account was restored within 48 hours.
