34.8% of children in London live in poverty, and a large part of it is due to housing costs. We’re doing society such a disservice by optimizing for the wealthy obtaining assets rather then quality of life for the population
Some refuse to accept that Londoners include people enduring great poverty as well as others who make big money and have great wealth. In fact, there's quite a lot of them: www.onlondon.co.uk/londons-high... #london
London's high poverty rates revealed in new report - OnLondon
London has the second highest rate of poverty of any English region, with 2.2 million of its nine million people meeting the criteria, according to a new report from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. On...

These scathing paragraphs do a good job at describing the lack luster vibe around wwdc this year. Previous attempts around VR and AI have stalled out and they’ve gone out of their way to make things worse for developers

I love/hate the new vibe coding: If there’s anything developers hate, it’s having to maintain someone else’s code, and AI will only amplify this
So you end up with something that has the lifespan of a sand castle. It’s great for prototypes, but completely unusable as a foundation of a real product

This is so clever, putting this right in the path of least resistance rather then depending on an action, visiting branding pages, that almost no one does
OK, that's a lovely detail that should be a standard - if you right-click the logo on the lovable site you get a menu that offers the logo as black or white SVG and the whole brand guide as a zip.

What really stands out to me is how the filling is arranged so it looks great on the shelf while the back of the sandwich contains nothing but broken promises and empty dreams
Back in the Twitter glory days I had a long-running thread where I was attempting to taste and rate every single sandwich available on the Tesco meal deal. Sadly Elon had to come along and ruin that, so I'm left with no other choice: I'm starting again. On here. Let's go ...

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Aside for the historical import of the moment, I have to also appreciate the power of a good orator
Obama was a shining example of how to use rhythm and pacing to grab the moment and make it momentous. Carney is also a master at delivering this

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

Classical Latin didn't have any definite (or indefinite) articles, but modern Romance languages do. So when did they emerge?

This can’t be overstated enough:
It is cheaper to help homeless with housing and counseling then it is to accept homelessness as a thing
It’s a deliberate and cruel choice driven by the idea they deserve eternal punishment

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.
