This is a pilot project for the next year.

Details of the deal are coming out slowly:

- Cap of 50000 hours a week for Uber operation (under special circumstances such as big events, this can be increased)

- Perception of TPS + TVQ taxes for each run (14.5%)

- Perception of additional tax of $0.90 for each run to be invested in a special fund to help the taxi industry
"modernize" itself ($1.10 for 50000-100000 hours per week and $1.26 for 100000+ hrs)

- Uber drivers are considered taxi drivers

- Requirement for Uber drivers to get a taxi permit (class 4c) and possibly a training

- Regular inspection of Uber cars and drivers abilities

- Uber drivers are required to provide income report and charge taxes, even if they are below the usual $30000 income cap for freelancers

- Uber is required to provide a income reports for all of its drivers earnings every 3 months

The special investment fund is to modernize the current taxi industry in quebec where each driver is required to obtain a license (much controlled in the market) which costs in average $200k. I've heard licenses cost up to $800k in the past.
I agree that what Norvig demonstrates here and in all of his notebooks is an ideal of how we use programming to explore (nevermind implement) concepts. But how do we get there without teaching people how to program, including syntax? I think everyone agrees that kids should be able to understand the themes of "A Modest Proposal" and perhaps even write with such depth, but they have to learn their ABCs and be compelled to write about what they ate for breakfast and other insignificant topics before they get to an adequate level.

I wish I could say that in my time of teaching, I've met people who could just get these things without actually writing code. But I think for most non-geniuses, including myself, it's all too abstract until you know how to concretely write code yourself.

> Assange has repeatedly said that they do not filter or edit in any way the contents of their leaks. That means that they don't remove credit card information, social security numbers, or malware.

This is not true. They redacted all but the last 4 digits of the credit card numbers.

> They could release an edited version and achieve transparency, but...

They _do_ edit. They removed all but the last 4 digits on credit card numbers. So, they edit in the ways they deem appropriate. I think the consensus is that generally, their extremely limited (and IMO, irresponsible) redaction policy does pose a threat to innocent people. The argument against responsible redaction seems to be: "Well, who knows where that social security number may lead!" Under this line of reasoning, _everything_ is fair game, and I find that abhorrent. If an innocent photo were discovered in those emails of a naked child, say the son or daughter of someone working for the campaign, you're telling me that it should be included in the archive simply to protect the sanctity of the dump? Puh-lease. Transparency is important, but not at the risk of our own humanity.

>But its not legal to use a brokering service to arrange the rental if you discriminate, so there goes AirBnB for that use.

Well, since Airbnb has been around for 8 years and no states' attorney generals nor courts have ruled Airbnb to definitively be a "broker", _why_ would a homeowner think she's breaking any anti-discrimination laws when screening prospective renters for her spare bedroom?

I don't know about Airbnb's status in other countries but as far as the USA goes, that's the current situation. (There's one lawsuit filed by a property management in NYC to reclassify Airbnb as a "broker" but that's working its way through the court system and unresolved.)

Also, let's do a thought experiment. Let's say Airbnb changes some things to avoid the "broker" label -- or -- the states definitively rule that they don't meet the definition of "broker". If so, this outcome still wouldn't be realistic: "Well, Ms Smith's loft discriminates against black people but we're all ok with it now because Airbnb got a favorable ruling that they are not a broker."

Attacking the "broker" angle is a red herring. Even if Airbnb loses the broker reclassification, another service that let people discriminate on exactly who stays in their spare bedroom would fill the void. The underlying discrimination remains.

It's funny, I was given this as a lab assignment around when the article came out. In fact, we were shown the article. We had an hour, maybe two, for the lab and had to re-implement it in C++. At this point I already had 3-4 years of experience with C++ but found the task ABSOLUTELY daunting. Looking at it now it seems simple, but I'll never forget trying to figure out how this works for the first time with the two hours I was given. Even if a solution is simple, understanding it can be hard, especially if it seems like it should be hard.

Nice tool.

Another poor (paranoid) man solution is 1/ to rely on Tor to expose your local SSH server through NAT/firewalls, 2/ to use ephemeral classic SSH keys to allow the guest to login on the host 3/ to share the session with screen -x.

Much more secure IMHO, but probably slower and also a bit more complex to setup as the host and the guest must have Tor installed.
> That's why the need for assertions to check that invariants hold.

No, you need proof.

So you're saying humans are fundamentally incapable of establishing the logical validity of what they assert by themselves? This contradicts historical evidence that people have done this for well over 2 millennia, using various methods and tools.

> A correct program is a spectrum, not a binary option.

Some errors might be easier to fix or have less disastrous consequences than others, but a correct program is one that has no errors, so I don't see where the spectrum is.

But, you see, the assertion is no less false just because the process was aborted. The fact remains that there exists a reachable state for which the assert fails. So apparently what I meant is no more obvious to you than it was for JonnieCache.

There is a lot of evidence that the human body can survive for much, much longer than 72 hours without food:

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-long-can-a-per...

http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-17095605

The first article mentions someone going for 73 days without food, the second 66 days, and many others for shorter periods (but still on the order of multiple tens of days).

Some examples:

"In the 1940s, Mahatma Gandhi survived
21 days on sips of water during a display of civil disobedience."

"Dr Mike Stroud, senior lecturer of Medicine and Nutrition at Southampton University ... who accompanied veteran British adventurer Sir Ranulph Fiennes across the Antarctic, said it was possible to survive 60 days without food."

"In 1981, Republican prisoner Bobby Sands
died in Northern Ireland's Maze prison after a hunger strike lasting 66 days."

Of course many factors may influence how long you can go without food, such as the amount of physical activity you engage in. If you're running marathons every day, you're naturally not going to be able to go without food as long as someone who's immobile the whole time, etc.
That looks really useful. If you have time, please chime in on the proposal!
I tried single day (don't eat anything in a single waking period, not strict 24-hours—over 24 hours, in fact) fasting a few times a couple years back. I don't usually eat breakfast anyway (rarely feel hungry in the morning), but ~1hr after I usually eat lunch I'd feel fairly bad, and by 3pm or so I'd feel quite weak and mentally sluggish.

I still plan to try a 72 hour fast at some point, but I'm expecting it to be very unpleasant based on those experiences.

I had read about Greg Gianforte's startup RightNow Technologies (IIRC the name). Think he started it somewhere in Montana, maybe Billings or Bozeman. The interesting part of the story was that he did it the lean way - before creating any product, he asked some people whether they would buy what he was going to make. Some did, so he built it. Not sure but I think some time later he sold it for a good sum (maybe to Oracle?). First read about it on Sramana Mitra's blog, www.sramanamitra.com .

I don't think those are the same argument at all.

If everybody is open about everything, the result is not that all spying/invasion ends. In fact, it doesn't really prevent anything (it makes those who were spying more powerful in fact - you've done their job for them.)

On the other hand, if nobody bought the products a company is selling, that company eventually goes out of business. Or finds that their products don't have a market fit, and adjust them accordingly.

But the point was to illustrate that Nintendo is in fact a quite conservative company - they've held on to what they started doing well over a century ago, despite having switched focus to video games 35 years ago, after spending 25 years researching and developing new businesses to find the right new direction.

I'd argue that assuming their play card sales are now a tiny proportion of revenue, that just underscores this point - I can't imagine they need it, but it's part of their legacy.
The thing is that the way all of these are taught is very inefficient. Also you Hagee very little choice in what you can learn.
I wonder about the practicality of essentially "boondocking", on a permanent basis. You'd need to run a generator for electricity (solar power would work, but I didn't see any panels), and you'd need to go somewhere occasionally to fill up your water tanks, and dump your sewage.

But I suppose, if you're only home a couple nights a week, you're not using tons of electricity, water or sewage capacity in any case.

I wonder how laundry works? Maybe they take care of that at hotels when they're overnighting on the road?

EDIT: From reading responses here[1], it looks like the average is about 4-weeks for a single person, obviously reduced by half for every person you add.

If you're just a single person, only there 20% of the time, it seems like you might really only be dumping and filling your tanks every 4-5 months.

The lambda calculus is incredibly value-oriented. Consider that it is impossible to write a formula that injects another formula into a blank cell: all values flow from other values. To overcome this, you need to write a side-effecting Excel macro. This is why some people have integrated Python into Excel. It's a shame that the CLR (and more functional languages like Clojure) is not better integrated into Excel.

Story time (MS rant):

When Microsoft pulled Access (the best relational DB UI) to avoid competition with SQL Server, stopped adding features to IIS (still no wildcard domains!) and did not fix the botched Visual Studio deployment story (publish 10MB binaries for 1-line changes when you control the web server and the OS?), they ceded the "IDE" wars. Excel is sort of a business IDE, except sharing spreadsheets is a nightmare, which is what Google Sheets is really good at. I reluctantly started switching to other "IDEs" like IntelliJ (still worse than VS) and the Google Apps suite. However, SQL Server Management Studio is still the best SQL writing interface for me.
