No one said it was surprising, but the article's argument is that the subsidies to the outlying suburbs are so large that they are overwhelming the tax revenue generated by the core.

People find different things pleasing, and some people enjoy commuting so they can live quite far from their job, friends, and basic services. Others prefer to live closer to these things, close enough to walk, cycle, or take transit. Based on prices, it's clear that in many metro areas, there's a great demand for urban-style living that is going unfulfilled, mostly do to zoning restrictions.

Perhaps you should be looking for data that shows that traffic-aware cruise control increases or matches safety of human drivers then? Seems strange to just assume one side of the argument if there's no proof either way.
It's actually key to obtaining a supermassive audience. People will roll their eyes at me for this, but one of the major reasons that FarmVille was able to reach 80M monthly actives was due to aggressive performance optimization at the bottom end and progressively turning off graphics features based on frame rate.

Amazon also has crazy AWS profits to subsidize major investments. Uber lacks such a super profitable but tangential revenue stream.
The deadlift is by far the easiest part of what he said. In fact, it's almost trivial if all you're aiming for is 1 repetition.

I know 5 experienced weight lifters and most of them struggle to do 1 pull-up (yes, ONE). None of them run, so doing a 5k under 20 is definitely out of the question (also a factor of age and height).

Also those goals are definitely not for the majority of people, because they require a MAJOR lifestyle change (3x30min/week won't cut it here). It's achievable, but like he said, not easy.
I think Uber's business model relies on self-driving cars. They're paying subsidies now to build a brand -- the name "Uber" has become synonymous with "pull out your cell phone and call for a ride" -- that will be very valuable once self-driving taxis become a commodity (which will happen shortly after their introduction).

Uber is not a bet on who can build the most profitable taxi company now -- it's a bet on a brand in an industry that will rapidly commoditize. Given that literally everything else Uber does has been replicated by at least one team at every hackathon I've been to in the last decade, there is very little sustained advantage from technology.

The auto industry is at a crossroads: you have new upstarts like Tesla that are very obviously planning to convert to a transit-as-a-service model. The "old" auto industry (basically everyone that makes cars and is not Tesla) is still struggling to adapt to a more "continuous development" model like Tesla. Tesla's engineering process is far simpler -- an electric car replaces the complex internal combustion drivetrain (an engine block that requires separate air, water, oil and gasoline systems, plus the transmission) with a far simpler electric engine.

The electric system in a Tesla is actually far simpler than your average car: the sensor package in a modern internal combustion engine is an incredibly complex piece of engineering. This gives them a huge cost advantage over existing automakers -- if Tesla is providing transit as a service directly to customers AND making/maintaining the vehicles themselves, that displaces a lot of revenue (auto sales/maintenance to companies like Uber).

I think Uber will eventually merge with an auto manufacturer (and likely keep the Uber branding since it's likely to be the most valuable part of the company). They already have realized that Tesla is their biggest competition; and I think that the autonomous driving deal with Ford is simply testing the waters for a future acquisition.

15 years from now, most people will likely have 3 or 4 choices of how to get somewhere by car: Uber, Tesla, Lyft and likely a mix of local / regional companies. Brand value is powerful; and I guarantee you that at the end of this, the Uber brand will be worth more than what they've put into it.
Why I love clojure. Pt1
Maybe so, since it would include a lot of government-owned and government-controlled airlines whose fares were subsidized by tax money in the interest of the public good. In that sense, they're a bit like Uber, which is subsidized by its investors in the interest of...well, attracting even more investors and keeping the whole pyramid scheme going.
You are on the right path. Acknowledging it is 30%. Then, just try to focus on the present, one thing at a time. The past can't hurt and nobody knows the future... Good luck!

If you need to talk, feel free to reach out.
Which is exactly how you would want the analysis to be done.

Because of course there were no autopilot miles in the before bucket you would be skewing the analysis if you only looked at autopilot miles in the after bucket.

What we know is after installing the autopilot feature, accidents with airbag deployments reduced 40%. Not just during so-called "safe" autopilot miles, but over all miles driven.

Now it's plausible that autopilot makes you a better driver both while it's on and off, but I'd say it's just exceedingly common to rear-end people due to distracted driving.
What OP, and everyone in this thread don't seem to understand is that Uber has waaaay more up it's sleeve than a mere taxi app.

Uber has more data about traffic patterns in every major city they operate in, than any other entity, including the cities themselves. Uber can use that data as leverage in so many ways.

They have an API, they are a logistics platform in a sense. Uber's endgame will be allowing people to plug into that platform for a price.

If they can manage to become the defacto cab platform for all major US cities alone, they are close to being worth their current valuation as is. Expand this all over the globe.

Do not forget they have a 20% stake in Didi as well now, which will more than make up for their 2 billion loss while trying to capture the chinese market.

Is it possible to read these articles and stories somewhere? I remember years back when I first heard about Thiotimoline I tried to find the collections where they were published. It turned out they were all out of print and none of the local libraries had any copies.
I thought Zeronet used IPFS underneath?
I had an econ professor assert that as cars got safer there were more accidents because people trusted the car to protect them more.... Logically, to reduce accidents due to carelessness we should put a 12" sharpened spike right in the middle of the steering wheel pointing at the drivers chest. If all accidents were deadly wouldn't drivers then exercise the utmost care?
Note that I didn't downvote you. I actually consider the answer wrong too, and the professors agreed too. One of them said: "Obviously the student doesn't understand the problem."

I thought to myself: "You understand the problem because you know the answer." But I held my tongue.

But at the present state of the art, the student has no idea why the answer is wrong. That's where I think their high school math background failed them.
That's why these level 2 systems are supposed to verify that the driver maintains contact with the wheel. Not that you can't necessarily get around some of those restrictions, but the system is supposed to warn you if it detects you aren't paying attention and eventually it's supposed to pull the vehicle over safely so if you fall asleep it won't be dangerous.

In addition, not having to spend as much energy just keeping the car on the road may help to prevent getting tired. Then again, maybe it won't have any impact.
This reminded me of the film "Match Point" directed by Woody Allen. IMO his best film.
I didn't downvote, but: there are plenty of entrepreneurial people you could bring up with regards to this, but Ted Turner went to prep school & collage in an age when most people didn't go to college. His parents were well off business owners who presumably not only set him up as a good position in life, but more importantly - and this is to your point - was a safety net so he even COULD fail over and over again.

The vast majority of the population are not put in a position to be able to fail over and over again like Ted Turner was, so since you used him as your example the answer to your question should be obvious.
This is exactly what the article is talking about. You're not acknowledging how much of your success comes from luck, you see yourself working hard and you don't like being told you're lucky. You're not only lucky because you started your business at the correct time, you're also lucky because you had the resources and connections to be able to start a company in the first place. Most people never have that opportunity.

I have no doubt that you work hard and put in the hours. But part of the reason that you do that is because you've been lucky. I'm sure you know that most business ventures fail. Some of those businesses, maybe the people there didn't work hard enough, and that's why they failed. A lot of them did work really hard, though, and they failed anyway, for myriad other reasons. Many people work hard and fail anyway. That doesn't exactly encourage further hard work. You're lucky that your hard work is turning into success.

The position that "You are able to make your own luck to an extent" is one of extreme privilege that can't exist without having already had loads of luck that you didn't make yourself. You wouldn't tell people starving in Africa and India that they're just not working hard enough to make their own luck, would you?
>The commercial airline industry has lost money over the whole of its existence.

Wait, what? How can that be possible? Wouldn't the airlines cease to exist if they never generated profits?
Marketshare is really irrelevant. The only important measure of a company's performance is profit. If a company is making more profit now than last year, that's a success, regardless of everything else. The marketshare thing is really silly: if the market expands in size 10-fold, but your sales increase 2-fold (assuming pricing stays the same), meaning you're doubly profitable, and somehow that's a "loss" because marketshare is lower? That's just plain idiotic. Yes, MS is a loser in mobile devices; it doesn't matter because they were never very profitable there anyway. Desktop and server marketshare losses can be mitigated with higher pricing and other revenue opportunities (such as advertising).

I don't have the actual numbers handy, so I can't say whether MS is actually more or less profitable than before, but I suspect it's more. The point is, what are their actual profits? If they're making more money, then this focus on marketshare is pointless. Money is money.

>MS is literally giving away its OS. Nadella doesn't know what he's doing.

Giving away Win10 is the correct choice IF it makes them more money (through advertising, selling collected data, etc.).

Furthermore, the competition is giving away their OSes. Perhaps MS sees that it can make more money by getting consumers to switch to Win10 with data collection and advertising than by trying to charge them for it and getting less uptake.

>In any sane company he would have been fired by now.

Why? Do you have any proof that his actions have actually decreased profits? If not, then your assertions are meaningless.
I think that market is smaller than you may think. There are lots of factors that will drive people to own their own self-driving cars rather than rely exclusively on Uber/Lyft/Tesla Mobility, etc.

The reason you have a trademark is to enforce rights to the name and prevent confusion. If suddenly Python 2.8 would appear it would be easily confused for official release. If it had flaws they often would also land on the official release.

That's why if you want to make a fork you're free to do so, but you need to make a different name. If it's something people desire it will be used, you can't just ride on the popularity of the name. If your fork has different name and is not popular, it means that there was not much interest in it, period.

Some of successful forks:

openOffice -> LibreOffice

MySQL -> MariaDB

ZFS -> OpenZFS

It doesn't require instant attention, no. But it's hard envision a scenario where the car needs attention at some point in the future, not particularly soon, but can't drive itself. Maybe I'm drawing the line at the wrong point, though. If a car can drive itself but may occasionally need to pull over and ask the driver to tell it which way to go, at the driver's leisure, is that level 3 or level 4? I thought 4, but I'm having trouble finding a clear answer.

You forgot functools.lru_cache. I've found in some Python 2.7 projects you can speed things up with a hacky dictionary-cache, but the proper functools.lru_cache gives better results and is far more flexible.
First year aside, having personally been through the high education pipeline, I would say the post is still mostly wrong. The list of the most elite schools is much shorter and they often deal with law, management and politics. Some of those are expensive. The high price is paid for making connections, education is comparable to best public ones.

Likewise, best schools are clearly based in major cities and metropolises. Those are not cheap, though thanks to not as silly housing market as in the US, the difference is less than half order of magnitude for rental and cost of the living; decent system of tax funded boarding houses further evens it out some.

I've seen people barely pass all along, the 90% thing is a joke. Some even just cheat.

That said, even those barely making it are generally not half bad.

If you are so threatened that you feel the need to use a Tor hidden service to reach your email provider, you should know that email --- "encrypted or not" --- provides the worst protection of all possible encryption messaging options. Don't use email for sensitive communication, and certainly don't rely on the security features of any email provider for your own safety.
In my original comment, I said that there's no reason to be poor, with a couple of exceptions - including bad luck. With hard work and discipline, you don't need to have especially good luck to break out of poverty, but yes, any bad luck can wreak havoc on the life of anyone in almost any socioeconomic circumstance. This is why it's still important to have social safety nets, even if the general public doesn't like the fact that these nets will save both the very unlucky and irresponsible people/those that simply don't want to contribute to society.

Statistically there is a strong bias against woman still, wages are lower than men and they are less likely to be in positions of authority.

If we change the language around an occupation, and change the branding associated with it then we promote it as something safe for woman and people of transgender and start to subvert those biases that exist.

How trustworthy is Sidehelm in handling of the data? Do they ensure that the pipelined data does not come into contact with human eyes, or is not copied?

I cannot really think of many services off the top of my head that would be so willing to give significant chunks of data to another pipelining service.
I'm working on both too, and one point that I faced was the Node 1.5GB RAM limit per node process (at least on Heroku https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/node-concurrency - I know it can be worked around though, although not on Heroku), which can force you to run multiple processes (aka clustering) depending on your use cases (e.g. thousands of client websockets connections from the process, if you need to listen to a large number of e.g. Slack connections).

This can lead to a more complicated architecture than with Elixir, where a single Elixir process will be able to use more RAM & all the cores, too.

On the other hand, I love the dynamism of the Elixir ecosystem, but it's not yet as rich as Node's one, and it's still harder to find a proficient Elixir developer, than a Node one.

But personally yes: the fundations of Elixir are very, very strong, and I'm investing in it completely (in addition to Ruby & Node, which I already use).
>Uber doesn't want to compete with taxi services, which are a niche business to be disrupted en route to the real prize. It wants to compete with your car

...which is exactly what cabs are. In major cities cabs exist because it's cheaper and easier to hire a cab than to drive yourself. That cabs only really exist in densely populated urban areas should tell us something about the economics of this business model.
They do exist[1], and you can get braille stickers to add to normal qwerty keyboards[2].

The reason there's not a wider movement to make braille QWERTY keyboards easily available is that most people just don't want them.

Nice! Looks that was just added in December, prior to that they had a statement saying it would probably work in 3.3+ but wasn't tested.

I didn't mean the one literally called google-api-python-client though (forgot they had that, ha). The googleads-python-lib is the critical one for me. PyPI says it supports 3+, but do one search in the repo for "print" and you'll see that's clearly not true.

Looking through the history, seems like they've claimed support for it for a while. We've tried it twice and had issues both times, though I never tried it in Py2, so maybe it just has problems in general.
That might be true. I don't actually know how much more auditing of funds and brokerages than what goes on already would have to happen in order to prevent that sort of thing.

I don't think the problem is obviously insurmountable, though.
Thanks for replying Dominik and thanks for promising some articles on the subject, now I'm waiting for them!:)
I don't want to hijack an article about a different language so I'll try to keep this very short. Nim probably needs a killer app to get the attention it deserves. Building GUIs easily could be one way to make it easier, but I had very unpleasant experiences with gui packages for Nim. The only one I could get to work after fiddling with dependencies (sorry, can't recall the name) was extremely slow.
So here is a challenge: why not making something like what Tekui is for Lua?
http://tekui.neoscientists.org/
I've compiled it on a few SBCs and it always worked. Some problems here and there with the framebuffer on old boards but it always worked (even on the venerable Hackberry A10) and was reasonably fast although Lua based. I can only wonder what
could be done if it was ported to Nim!
