After the murder, I had to read scores of comments like this ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35456168 ) about the homeless, need for more law enforcement (although the US already incarcerates more of its population than any industrialized country) etc. I had to read scores of tech bros in the professional-managerial class whinge about the poor, about black lives matter and how this was due to "progressivism".…

What percentage are entrepreneurs and what percentage are people with mental health problems and or drug addiction?

Never really met anyone that described themselves as an 'entrepreneur' that actually was one though. Lots of people that wanted to desperately identify as one and they'd spend all their time telling anyone who'd listen that's what they were.

In contrast, the actual entrepreneurs are too busy actually going out there and building things. I think it's a label that only makes sense when it's applied by someone else.

Is it common for police to release so much personal information on a suspect? The linked article contains the full name, age, and city of residency.

I thought the same thing. Seems out of place how they mention such details about his address. He is obviously being doxxed.

I've seen an article about this suspect that includes their address, what they paid for the house, other places they've lived, etc. Different to police releasing information though.

It did strike me as really odd a 43 year-old man would be out walking around at 2:30 AM... It'll be interesting when more details come out. All the "SF is going downhill!" stuff that came out... seems pretty irrelevant given this wasn't a random act of violence.

Bars close at 2 am

The comments on that tweet are sickening. And people will say with a straight face that there are no more race problems in this country except wokeism.

Yes, there are a lot of people who will say that. They provide a living, walking straw man, and there are enough of them that I can't say you're cherry picking. As for the tweet, I can't see any reason I'd start reading twitter now, I've been long disgusted with the quality of discourse on twitter. But if you decide to dismiss the concerns about the excesses of the far left by pointing to racist responses to a tweet…

What are "the excesses of the far left"? What is the "far left" even?

Strange, because despite the extra paragraph that you spent dancing up to the subject, I have no idea what you're referring to. Or rather, I do, but I know why you wouldn't (try to) spell it out here.

Am I the only one who does NOT feel unsafe in SF at all ? I mean, I choose not to walk in TL and SOMA at night. But why would anyone feel unsafe in North Beach, Marina, Russian Hill, Richmond, Sunset, GG park, Lower Haight, Valencia etc. I have spent many nights walking in Valencia and took Uber home at 2am. Doesn't feel remotely unsafe.

Welcome to our world in Chicago, where we have been living in a hellhole for about a decade. There is a lot more violent crime here than SF but it is almost all in small pockets of the city.

This is simply a narrative that certain people are trying to portray to prove that certain policy doesn’t work. It’s nonsense.

I know in the last thread everyone said he was a hero. But I looked at his bio and his last job was a token selling scam. Maybe he made some enemies

I've always thought Marc Antony's speech was bullshit - "The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interrèd with their bones." It's way more common to ignore/forget/never mention again anything bad someone who died did. Also the crypto world seems to be getting a bit stabby in various ways, as things come crashing down there may be repercussions. Unlikely in this case, probably. Much more likely to be do…

And the way he said he came to bury Caesar instead of praise him? But he didn't even bring a shovel...

It's BuzzFeed, what do you expect?

And no, BuzzFeed News is as trash as BuzzFeed.

Umm. Lots of entrepreneurs have both mental health problems and use drugs. Especially use drugs.
