We do steam clean the streets in Downtown Seattle (and have been doing that for decades), its part of why Seattle is so much cleaner than other cities. Our new Park Ambassadors are here to help make the parks more…
Downvoting (from what I gather) is supposed to be used not as a disagree button, but rather as a tool when a comment doesn't add value to a conversation, hence why downvotes are so restricted on HN.
The timing is just so interesting though! Two of my comments saw 3 downvotes in the span of a minute, the latter of which was much further down than this comment.
You were ratelimited by @dang for acting poorly, not surprisingly your continuing to act against the sites policy for downvoting.
The severe wealth stratification that has occurred over the last few decades has left the majority of Americans facing a grim future of low earnings and unstable employment. Its easy to see how that would make many…
Arizona's attempt at this worked poorly: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2017/aug/21/arizona-phoen...
We have real issues in Seattle, but having frank conversations about it has been quite troublesome, too many people want to talk about feels rather than facts, leading to local satire like this:…
Microsoft advocated for a tax on very large companies to fund social services to break the cycle of poverty leading to lack of opportunity for our youth: https://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/news/2019/07/21/amazon-m...
Taking a picture of a tent is not doxing. They could've even used the tent platform in the playground at gasworks with their own tent but they could not be bothered to lift a finger :c
Its significantly safer than San Diego & Irvine IMO, both of which still criminalize homelessness and have had Hepatitis outbreaks due to these ineffective policies. Google, Apple, Expedia and Facebook are each building…
They produce some great articles :3
Please cite how Seattle's policy of not locking people up to rot in prison is extremist. You had a viable argument right up until that point! Edit: Thanks for the bot downvotes! Going from +2 to -1 in the span of a…
Yet "Moms for Seattle" can't be bothered to take a real photo of homelessness affecting Seattle's parks :c Those advocating for harsher handling of homelessness in Seattle have repeatedly shown themselves to be…
They don't have statistics to back their position, this attitude of not working from the data we have is such an issue that it has become local satire in Seattle:…
We don't have sufficent funding of social services to provide navigation teams and counselors to all of the visibly homeless (those you see on the street), never mind the thousands living in their cars in Seattle (the…
Washington State is one of the heaviest users of legal marijuana: https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nation-and-world/sewage-t... I doubt we will ever reach Portugal's low levels of use, but people can lead happy &…
As much as the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and the local Sinclair affiliates might scream that Seattle is wrecked, people and businesses are still moving here, our economy is growing, and massive redevelopment is…
Perhaps the addressable market on their own was too small (or so the team at SignalFx felt), thus now is a good time to sell. Splunk already has Enterprise and B2B sales down cold, adding a supporting product is an easy…
How does output compare to Mozilla TTS or Google's new customizable TTS: https://sample-efficient-adaptive-tts.github.io/demo/ The latter requires a few minutes of audio to tune it to clone a voice.
Better yet, an RFID tag or BTLE beacon can be embedded cheaply. Some pallets already have these types of chips embedded, and it has ensured these pallets are returned in most cases (and prevented pallet resale).
Sounds like the perfect place for a bribe transparency website to name and shame officals that take bribes.
This title is disingenuous, the part open sourced is a client for the Google Speech API, not the actual speech engine (eg: the interesting bits that Mozilla is trying to build with Mozilla Deepspeech).
Time and resources to make and support babies is a big constraint. Most parents want to provide a standard of living to their kids that is better than what they grew up in, which costs significantly more to provide.…
They suspsended the rider's account, the very least they could do is suspend the driver's account till the matter is resolved (Seattle Police Dept lists cases online FYI). Without suspensions, your letting two people…
Yeah, OfferUp and Facebook Marketplace have taken many of the flaky people off Craigslist, improving CL's reliability.
