Here is the crucial quote from the article that is left out of the summary:
The programs work by giving one-time cash quantities to people on the brink of homelessness who can demonstrate that they will be able to pay rent by themselves in the future, but who have been afflicted by some nonrecurring crisis, such as a medical bill. Recipients need to be able to demonstrate consistent future income, and the amount given needs to actually cover their housing expenses for the month.
The primary difficulty (as the article mentions) is recognizing people who are about to become homeless who could be helped by this.
That's what I was wondering too when I saw the headline. Looks like they managed to pivot to a company that provides high-performance computing to the same company-set that uses Oracle and SAP. (In other words, probably only certain departments at fortune 500 companies).
I have a friend who is definitely not a "brown-skinned person of Arabic or Iranian origins" as you so subtly call it (which aren't races either, there's some serious ethnic diversity over there), who has for some reason decided to become Muslim. When she wears her hijab, she gets negative looks and comments, even though she doesn't fit your stereotype of a middle-easterner.
you'll forgive me for thinking that the comparison between Trump and Hitler is a bit closer than "remotely close to real."
Oh, here's another one: Hitler and Trump both breathe.
I don't forgive you, I think you're a complete moron who can't remember history even as far as the previous election. There are always comparisons between Hitler and the president, at least back to Carter. You are like those idiots who look at the similarities between the Lincoln assassination and the Kennedy assassination, and think it must be related somehow (because Lincoln was shot in the Ford theater, and Kennedy was shot in a Lincoln, made by Ford! I swear that is 100% true!!).
I will also add that you are an ignoramus for thinking that "Muslim" is a race, or that of all the plenty of leaders in Europe that ostracized Jews for hundreds of years before Hitler, none of them turned out to be Hitler. That is why Hitler was a scapegoat, because Germans already hated the Jews going back as far as Martin Luther......they weren't somehow 'tricked' by Hitler's propaganda into hating Jews.
You are the problem with this country: people who can't learn from history, even if it was history from their lifetime.
The only reason Trump isn't Hitler is that he's way dumber than Hitler.
Hitler was really dumb, man. He got lucky that a populist surge lifted him, but any time he tried to take control (for example, telling the military what to do), he messed things up.
Truth, I remember back when elections used to be kind of boring. Doonsbury had a fake look-back from the future something like "Given this context, president Perot's subsequent invasion of Canada almost makes sense."
This election is surreal. On the one hand, we have Hitler. On the other hand, we have a murderer who takes orders from satan himself.
Neither of these things is remotely close to real. Donald Trump is a dork, and Hillary Clinton is an awkward idealist who's been jaded somewhat by bumping into life. Neither one will destroy the country. Neither one will be Hitler.
After muddling through another 4-8 years, the country will have another election where we hear that it's again Hitler against the antichrist, and somehow people will believe again that it might actually be true.
No, the hardware is really nice, too. Form-factor, shape, size, construction materials......a lot of people get a mac for these reasons and install Linux.
Maybe the lawyers should have argued that in court. The judge isn't going to do their work for them, if they don't present a reason, they're probably not going to get it.
I'll bet you could.....for example, if you were stranded in the desert looking for water, I'll bet you'd care even less about function keys than you do now.
The mini computer size has really taken off recently with stuff like this. Apple was once ahead of the game with the Mac Mini, but now there's no reason to get it anymore unless you really need OSX for some reason.
Other laptop manufacturers are catching up on the laptops too......for a long time, Apple construction was clearly superior, but it's not so clear anymore.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Hitler led the people where they wanted to go. They were viciously anti-Semitic for centuries before Hitler.

Tolls are super annoying, and I hate them. The new RFID toll roads are less annoying, though.

I also find it interesting how many people don't believe women who wear hijabs do so voluntarily
An interesting thing about that........here is a picture of a woman in a hijab and a woman in a bikini playing volleyball. The woman wearing the hijab chose to, the woman wearing the bikini was required to as it was the uniform chosen by her country.
The Democratic Party in America is not what everyone thought it was. They are racist, elitist, election-fixing, democracy-shitting-on assholes.
No, that's more or less what I considered them to be. The racism is deeper and more widespread than I expected, though tbh.
Thank God we now have pretty - at the expense of everything else - browser based software like Slack to collaborate over.
Do you think Slack is pretty? Or nice-looking?

They should call it "steer-control" or something so people equate it with "cruise control"
Maybe the lawyers should have argued that in court. The judge isn't going to do their work for them, if they don't present a reason, they're probably not going to get it.
I couldn't care less about function keys.

Indeed, as the Angry Video Game Nerd points out, they could get really bad sometimes.
I know what you did last summer.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Hitler led the people where they wanted to go. They were viciously anti-Semitic for centuries before Hitler.
There's his mistake! He should have consulted with Slashdot before making decisions like that.
Knowledge is its own reason.
Also, the pictures are really pretty.
Ah yes, there I see him, on page 694, image 16.319, K'breel, walking somewhere.
Yeah, the old gatekeeper was bad and you didn't have a choice.
The new gatekeeper is bad, but now you have a choice.
IF you're ignorant, it's your own stupid fault, and "democracy gives you the government you deserve."
University study demonstrates that America functions as an oligarchy. [washingtontimes.com]
It's not a particularly convincing study, tbh
Eventually win back your £10 cinema ticket, travel costs and court fees.
That's kind of great, I don't think we have court fees awards for small claims in the US.
