> It's a modernization of an already-proven business model. Chinese food and pizza was orderable by phone, and delivered for free or a small fee, 30 years ago.

Different business model.

Drivers went back and forth to a single location, and had a fixed delivery radius. A driver who wasn't delivering could also be helping out at the restaurant.

Orders could be batched up, go and deliver multiple pizzas in a row.

Uber Eats is super inefficient, drivers aren't based at a restaurant, the delivery radius is much larger, density isn't taken into account, and orders aren't batched up from a single location.

Or to put it another way, I live in a major suburb of Seattle. All the years prior to Uber Eats, my only delivery options were Pizza from a handful of places. That is it, they had the scale, and I was in their delivery radius, those small # of restaurants had determined it was profitable to deliver to me.

Uber Eats comes along, and now restaurants that, honestly, are far enough away that I wouldn't consider driving to pick up food from them, are available to deliver to me.

Of course none of that is economically feasible. As stated above, Uber Eats is already less efficient than directly dispatching from a restaurant. In super dense areas (e.g. NYC, SF) maybe couriers can be kept so busy that bouncing from place to place all night long to pick up and drop off food makes sense, but in the suburb of a third tier city? No way is that a good business model.
What I personally learned? Never trust any hardware manufacture for anything other than security theater.
Yeah, I'm not sure about any of this, I grew up with PC trackpads, used them on Linux all the time and other than a few annoyances with accidentally tripping the trackpad when typing, never had a problem with them. The Macbook actually took quite a bit of time to get used to and many settings had to be adjusted (looking at you backwards scrolling).

In fact, I think I like the trackpad on my cheap Logitech K400 just as much as the Macbook, I'd be hard pressed to point to a significant problem with either.

/me looks glumly at my Apple-ized Samsung Galaxy S6Edge, with no SD card or removable battery. (Both of which would make the S6/GearVR combo significantly more useful...)

With that approach, each call to ``make_window`` produces a distinct type, such that isinstance couldn't be used to compare two windows. That kind of breaks the idea of a "type", I think, as being a collection of values.
I've set up NixOS on a Linode, and I was surprised how fast and easy it was, that instantly after nearly instantly running that bash script, I had NixOS set up and was ready to upload my configuration, I didn't even need to have a preconfigured image. Setting it up as a mail server, however, wasn't so much fun.
The detail which was missing for me from Bill Hammack's wonderful videos was how one might change the phase angle of a Fourier component from zero. I believe it's possible, at least within a discrete gear-tooth (the smallest gear component having the coarsest phase adjustment), by manipulating the "pinion gear".

There's only so much one can stuff in a video; perhaps Bill has some mention of phase angles in his accompanying book.
agreed, this is basically a tag cloud with the addition of movement that serves little purpose. visualizing textual summaries is not a solved problem, the word cloud was the web 2.0 attempt but I don't believe anyone has really solved the at-a-glance textual visualization problem yet.
I wonder how much real value is actually generated from web bugs. A lot of interesting stuff can be generated from server logs; much more if you use analyzers.

I just wonder how much of the set of "analytics" that requires involving 3rd parties (web bugs and other referrer tricks) is actually useful and a value. The set that is a value "that everybody benefits from" is going to be even smaller.

I'm sure most people want this data, and see a lot of potential use. Usually, there is a big difference between "want" and "need", and I suspect a lot of the current attitude that throws analytics on everything is some experimentation, a limited amount of real value, and a whole lot of people joining in because they can (fad, bandwagon effect, it's what a tutorial said, etc).
> Also, why do they have "You also need to have a dedicated IP address" in the requirements?

Because a web server that hosts multiple secure websites needs a way to know which of the certificates to use to encrypt a new incoming connection. The way we disambiguate that is to give each website a different IP address. In short, it's about the way SSL works, not anything to do with validation.
Wow, that's new - there didn't seem to be any low volume pricing info at all until now.
> No need for an extension, in about:config you can toggle network.http.SendRefererHeader from the default value of '2' to '0', which will disable all referer headers.

Some websites require the referrer to work; RefControl allows you whitelist exceptions, and also configure a few different options.
I read about a study once where college students in the US were asked to provide their ethnicity on the front of their test papers. This had a notable negative effect on the scores of African-Americans due to unconscious bias, I believe it was presented as an example of priming
I edited my site and then its address changed... Is it normal?

You acknowledged that you were aware of these facts when you read the EULA (you did read it, right?) at some point in the past when installing or updating iTunes (or whatever other service). I know it's ridiculous but that's how it works, make sure to show a 50+ page 'you basically have no rights' notice that you have to 'agree', and you can strip whatever privileges you like from your paying customers.
very open.
there is government commission that publishes long reports every month or two including all possible side effects, and shorter reports from medical organization (there is 4 of them) are more frequent.

This reminds me of a discussion about NFTs recently. I caught myself having an opinion without really knowing how they work. So I googled it and only found vague descriptions. Then I looked for an actual ETH blockchain contract that implements NFTs on Github [1], read it, and it was all very simple and clear. (So for me it was "How to Learn complex Things Quickly by realizing they are not that complex at all.")

So in some cases I'd put "Read the Source Code" at the top.

Code is not quite mathematical notation, but it is a concise way to express something..

[1] I read this one: https://github.com/larvalabs/cryptopunks/blob/master/contrac...
Reverse phone books were a thing. They were harder to get but libraries had them.
I was going to say something similar: As long as they don't dump it all in one place and release it intelligently (accounting for ocean currents and mixing; basically hire meteorologists, oceanographers, and marine biologists) it should be quite safe.

It's not like they're dumping the uranium rods into the ocean; they're (mostly) just trying to find a way to get rid of all that radioactive water. When diluted across the entire ocean it shouldn't have any impact on ecosystems and it shouldn't accumulate in predators (that we eat) like other types hazardous waste.
I would prefer if the committee devoted their efforts to making C easier to use correctly - defining undefined or implementation defined behavior, requiring stronger diagnostics, and forbidding optimizations that regularly cause issues.
Not sure what you have in mind when you say guids, but the word guid doesn't confer any info here. Most people are referring to uuids when they say guid, and a v4 uuid has 122 bits of randomness. A random 122 bit number can certainly be sufficient for most applications like api keys over the network.
Sharding is not really scaling for many, and I think despite your good intentions you may be misleading others. I’m glad you like the setup but people flocking to SQLite scares me.
Seems to go against your past philosophy. If Wufoo is kicking ass (which they most definitely are) and their profits are healthy (how can they not be?), then why sell out?

Take money off the table? Investor pressure? With our powers combined?

Maybe I'm too critical, but it seems to contradict your past posts on acquisitions and I was really looking forward to some drama to read this afternoon. :)
What's the point of an e-reader without e-paper? I don't need my Kindle to play music or surf the web. I have a phone, computer, netbook, and tablet that can do all that. All I want to do with my Kindle is read books on e-paper.

Honestly, the nook seems like a cheap version of the iPad or Android tablets. I wouldn't compare it with the Kindle because if it doesn't have e-paper, it is not an e-reader.
I really like this idea, I'm a general fan of skill bartering.

You might want to consider capturing what camp folks are in when they sign up so you get a better sense of the distribution before releasing your beta. You might find that it's very lopsided.
The company I work at doesn't have that policy and neither has any other I've worked at.
How about not firing anybody and just get back to work?
Unfortunately, irreverence isn't a great asset until you have a fair amount of knowledge under your belt. Until then, it can be quite a hindrance to the process of learning.
Huh, that's interesting, although I like that sound of that,
I'm not sure how easy it would be to tax ICE vehicles

But, you bring up an interesting point. Why not give more tax deduction for business usage of EV vehicles, that to me is like an easier sell
There is no real reason why not. We frequently do this. Sure, you have to find someone who can read and understand the material and knows what good academic writing looks like, but professional copywriters are usually up to the task.

However, you iterate a lot on drafts so it usually happens only at a few stages, certainly not before uploading something to a preprint repository.

In addition, there's a cultural or institutional blindness. Many are bad writers, but are also blissfully unaware of the issue.

Without my advisor, who is an excellent writer and yet hires professional proofreaders, I think I simply would not have known that it is something you can or should do.
I have thought about using a VR headset. I'd be curious to see any reviews on this.

All of the legacy entrants to the EV market are meaningless sideshows for the simple fact that they don't make their own batteries. Building an EV is a trivial commodity. Manufacturing high energy density LiPo battery cells at a low enough price and high enough volume to build millions of cars is the actual barrier. And Tesla is currently the only manufacturer in the world with this level of vertical integration. Everyone else is just competing for supply from LG Chem and Panasonic, which is why no other manufacturer has come close to Tesla's volume or performance/price.
Apparently I misread the article. I thought the scammers were behind the crowdfunding campaign and the legitimate company was selling the product traditionally. I still stand by my advice, but it seems it isn't relevant to the article. My bad.

A database?
I honestly can't tell if you're trying to troll me or not. Is there any adult alive who hasn't at one point realized that being depressed might--just MIGHT--impact one's ability to be creative?
Made my evening, thankyou. :-)
It's different! Not being creative isn't the opposite of being cheery. The assumption is that the reader may not see any connection at all between happiness and creativity, and that the association might provide some insight. Though if you're like me and are only happy when you are able to create things, I can see why you would be irked.
>It's certainly not the case that the trace output "takes time."

That's what I figured, just wanted to throw out the possibility :) I'll happily keep reading, you've got me interested, at the very least. Want me to send you critiques if I come up with them? On blog / email?
Based on my experience, I think it is very difficult to build a product when doing client services work. It takes disproportionate effort to get and stay focused and you have a mountain of distractions. The services work becomes all-consuming.

I have had the same experience and strongly agree with your assessment. Furthermore, this seems to be true even if the customers are more or less directly funding the incremental development of the product. Somehow, their specific needs, slight customisations and tweaks, support thereof, etc. expand to fill up available time.
That is not an option. Fraudulent marriage is punishable by fine and imprisonment in the US. Your USCIS interviewer will go to GREAT length to check whether your marriage is legit. By GREAT length, I mean they will come to your home at 4 AM in the morning, knock on your door, just to see the 2 of you having sex.
It didn't teach us anything we didn't already know about the FBI, but it also does not excuse their actions any more than if we were to attack any of their networks.
I'm a long time Mac user. One thing I like about Linux is its package manager. Brew is a package manager OS X but it isn't as powerful as aptitude because it's not integrated into the system the way aptitude is.

All the things you mentioned are easily installable.

I would recommend that you get a second-hand machine; Macs ARE more expensive but I enjoy using them. They're not for everyone though so I would hedge your risk by getting a second-hand one. If you love it then the next time you're in the market for a new machine you'll know what to get. If you hate it then you can cut your losses.
Nice library.

The current implementation leads to a lot of garbage since you are allocating several typed arrays per tick for each tween.

Also looks like gimbal lock and Euler interpolation could be a problem for some 3D rotations. I guess fixing that would lead to extra complexity.
Are kids learning enough to maintain their finances, do their taxes, and vote in a way that integrates historical knowledge?

It's not my experience that the average 18 year old knows any of those things, and the article suggests that many people aren't coming away from school with basic literacy or numeracy.

This all goes back to a point I alluded to in my first post. When someone suggests that public education is badly broken and perhaps could use an overhaul, they are bombarded with arguments about the importance of education that seem to ignore the fact that a very disappointingly large number of people are not, in fact, receiving anywhere near that level of education.
Austin Taxi Co-op is owned by the drivers. They have a decent app and are (slowly) working their way up to competing with Uber/Lyft. They've got the booking side down well enough but haven't tackled payment.

It will be interesting to see how that shakes out in the next five years.
Its rude to downvote without explaining why, if it requires domain specific knowledge. I can't speak for the downvoters but I do know from my gentleman farmer relative (I guess they call them hobby farmers now...) that's a very old article and a couple years after that one of the omnibus farm bills completely eliminated the milk price support. So your justification is a .gov program that no longer exists as of roughly the 9/11 attack era.

Everything about .gov manipulation of farmers is controversial. Milk's been a free-er market than most for about 15 years now. Corn for example is still corrupt as all heck leading to everything from obesity to anti-biotic resistances. But milk is currently a free-er market than most.
the half-full glass analogy doesnt quite work here.

97/100 times your brakes will work.

3/100 times your brakes will fail.

this is two ways of saying there's something severely wrong. it's not a matter of perspective unless the situation itself is subjective. a half-full glass is not - in isolation - worse than one that is full without context.

I was about --| |-- this close to waiting in line last Friday for the EVO launch and moving away from my iPhone. Then I got to play with one for awhile and I was really shocked by the battery issue.

I kept thinking that reviewers were just overstating the point for the sake of traffic, that the HTC EVO didn't get good battery life but that it was a relative measure. Then I played with one and in half an hour of web browsing and using the menus (with Sense turned off, display reduced, task killer in action, in the Mission Bay district of SF where Sprint's signal is good) and we rampaged through 20% of the battery.

20% in half an hour. Guys, this is not cool.

For comparison, with my pre-4.0gm I used my iPhone 3GS for web work an average of an hour and a half per day with between 1-2 hours of talking and push email and nearly all-day iPod use on and I came home with 20-40% (mostly that depended on talk time), and I could still rely on it to be my iPod at the gym even if I was using Pandora. I go 8am-11pm with confidence. With the iOS 4.0GM, it's like I've got a 20% battery upgrade and I'm using the device more.

It's really frustrating that Apple keeps making hardware that fits my specs but not being on a carrier that does me right. Meanwhile other carriers—carriers that I know will drop far fewer calls and have far fewer problems at crowded events—simply cannot get a phone that doesn't have a tower of serious flaws. The closest stab in recent memory was the Nexus One (with its terribly flawed touchscreen) and the Droid (which by now appears like a doddering old slowpoke by comparison to the current crop of phones).
You can't deny the power of that collective wisdom though. Perhaps a startup in there somewhere? :)
I see this as a good thing for the web. Now websites (that are serving articles) have to compete with the layout/presentation of Reader, both in terms of having nice, readable typography and layout, and having appealing, non-obnoxious ads, like some of the higher end of print ads.
You write "Apple is a publisher with a platform". This is where things get interesting. In the past we had publishers, companies that were free to pick and choose the content that they wanted to invest in and distribute - and we had platform builders - companies who made things like printing presses and telephones. After you sell me a telephone switch or printing press, you don't get to dictate what gets printed on the press, the conversations that can take place on my phone or the kinds of programs that I watch on my tv. Apple wants to be both a publisher and the builder of the platform and that's why they deserve heightened scrutiny. I don't have a problem with the Disney web site rejecting adult or political content - as you point out that's their business to make those choices - but I get really uneasy when the company building the hardware starts dictating what it can be used for.
> It would be silly for spammers to use this. It would just increase the likelihood of them being marked as spam by people that already ignored their first try.

Not if the spammers use a botnet to change the email's source for each retry. Anyone who thinks spam originates from a fixed server name and IP is living in the past. More here:

Also, an easy way for a legitimate sender to be redefined as a spammer is for them to send copies of an e-mail until they get a reply.

> Your concern is definitely one we are keeping an eye out for but haven't seen it yet.

Like Bitcoin thefts, you won't see any sign of it until it's too late.

This idea violates the most basic civilized e-mail rule -- if you don't get a reply, don't badger the recipient. Spammers, of course, don't care about civilized behavior and will find this idea very appealing.
I've spoken to a former Googler that was on the search team, and he said the duplicate content isn't as big of a deal as one would expect. They realize when it is and isn't an issue. For example, blog reposts do not hurt you (in fact they may help you) even though they show up as duplicate content.

Just my 2 cents. I'm not a fan of WPEngine anyway.
Costco's Kirkland brand natural peanut butter (ingredients: peanuts, salt) takes some getting used to. The first time I bought it, I felt it was so bad that I thought about returning it. But after a while I got used to it, and now I love it and don't like regular peanut butter (with sugar+salt) any more because it tastes overly sweet and fake.

However, it is pretty annoying how much work it takes to stir it to incorporate the separated oil. Particularly because it comes in a big 28 ounce jar.
Buses are also stigmatized by many in the U.S. as being for poor people, aka losers who can't afford cars.
> All I want to contribute to this is that if you think CNN is any different/better than Fox News you're part of the problem. They're both insanely biased echo chambers. It's so blatantly obvious too. After finding some propaganda to bash Trump with every single day for the past five years, they'll never once in the next four years ever report a negative story about Biden or his administration. Please, go ahead and count how many times it happens. This is something you can verify yourself! Of course the bias rabbit hole goes so much deeper than just that, but they're so blatantly, demonstrably, biased that the fact that anyone considers them relatively impartial journalism, any better than Fox News, makes me lose so much hope.

What does this have to do with the storming of the capital?
It's very important to watch out for useless uses of echo/cat. What is cat, a few megabytes now? Fine for those of us on modern hardware, but you never know what PDP-11 user is going to copy paste your comment into their terminal.

I'd like to hear an explanation for what seems to be an awful take. Why do you think this?
If Facebook can successfully buy out every other significant social network, then they can maintain market leadership. And their stock will stay pretty high.
Yes! They absolutely have something to complain about!

You now have lowered the impression of price of the good to everyone who knows what you did. Now when your friend wants to buy a car, why would they buy one from Ford when they know they can just go down to the factory with the raw materials and a little cash and get the same car for less. Ford should be PISSED!
