#392I am very spoiled by living in one of the European capitals. It's super safe here, and it's normal thing to see young females taking a dog out for a walk in 22-02h. I visit SF at least once a year, and default to my learned habit of walking alone, and later at night. No more.

A small point about language, in case you or anyone else didn't know: In English, it sounds weird to use "female" as a noun to refer to people. If, in that sentence, you would replace "female"/"females" with a word like "man"/"men," then you probably want to be using "woman"/"women" instead of "females." Using "f…

#393I have commented on SF threads before regarding the violent crime. I don't think we have figured out if this was premeditated or not, but either way, SF is becoming incredibly dangerous. Progressive DA's and a neutered police force are to blame for the rise in violent crime. Many of my friends have taken their remote gigs and left SF in the last 3 years. What's the point in rolling the dice every time you walk outsid…
Have deaths as a result of police violence decreased?

This doesn't get into any context or whether anyone died as a result, but from the available data, the highest number of incidents where someone was shot by police in SF was 11 in 2010, the lowest number was 2 in 2021.

#394Turns out defunding the police actually has consequences. Who knew?!

I live in "one of the European capitals". It is super safe here, but there are still stabbings. The crime-rate is also enormously variable between European cities. > No more. Changing your habits based on a single event isn't particularly rational. If this were a comparative articles on SF crime-rates you might have a good point, but it isn't. And I say this having had a shooting happen on the street outside my hotel…
> Changing your habits based on a single event isn't particularly rational.
I would say it is quite prudent and rational, because you cannot be killed more than once

Somatic Marker Hypothesis
The somatic marker hypothesis (Bechara and Damasio, 2005; Damasio et al., 1991) highlights the importance of emotions in decision making. The hypothesis postulates that reasoned decision making is influenced by biasing signals (somatic markers) arising from changes in the body periphery.
First triggered as a reaction to experienced feedback (e.g., increased heart rate or visceral responses), the somatic reactions are assumed to be reactivated in similar decision situations.
It is argued that there are primary and secondary inductions of emotional responses.
The primary induction can be understood as innate or learned affective responses arising from a confrontation with pleasurable or aversive stimuli.
Secondary inducers comprise affective responses induced by the recall of past events or anticipation of future states.

Thanks, I guess, for diverting the discussion into something unimportant.
Re: Bob Lee, former CTO of Square, has died after being stabbed in San Francisco
#399Small question: does anyone have any actual numbers about crime in SF and whether or not it is actually more dangerous than other comparable cities (population, wealth, density)? I want to believe the claims of people who’ve been there that is quite dangerous but very few of them are actually giving out numbers to justify this position.

Obviously we have no idea about motive or the situation, but I think it's at least ironic that this guy helped start up CashApp which was recently exposed as being a platform heavily utilized by criminals with their tacit consent.
