Vagrant on Qubes-OS

Vagrant on Qubes-OS

(Vagrant)[https://www.vagrantup.com] "Development Environments Made Easy"

(Qubes-OS)[https://www.qubes-os.org] "A Reasonably Secure Operating System."

This is a guide on to using vagrant on qubes-os with qemu using the libvirt provider. Because qubes-os does not support nested virtualization, you'r stuck with emulation. If you want performance, use a system with a proper vagrant setup.

Police issued a lot of spurious tickets in Chicago neighborhoods with higher populations of low-income and people of color.

I downloaded the CSV from Freddy Martinez. See all the data, and the FOIA request, on their repo. This data dump should show the same data the Chicago Tribune used in its analysis of where Chicago police officers issue tickets to people bicycling.

The CSV started with 15,971 total records.

I performed the following corrections of the data:

  • Removed 71 records on Unknown street
  • Coalesced all records on KING DR to use the same spelling
  • Removed the following ambiguous ones (sorry, I should have recorded the unique record ID along with these):
    • 850 67TH
    • 2050 71 STREET
