Actually...my friend went to an organized rave in north Beijing, the authorities stopped the bus on the way back to the city, all Chinese were drug tested, the foreigners were just ignored for some reason.

I'm not saying that it doesn't happen, but I've never heard of anyone getting even deported for drugs, let alone jailed. But remember Chinese laws are enforced selectively, so it is playing with fire.
So, same as the previous govt?
> It would be very easy to regulate the hell out of Uber and turn the unicorn into a donkey. However, that wouldn't improve the conditions that those in the economic class of drivers are subject to

It's a bit of a strawman to use the hyperbole; plenty of industries are regulated, not regulated "the hell out of", and very profitable too. Also, I disagree with the second statement; labor regulations have a long history of helping workers and still do. They enjoy a 40 hour workweek, overtime, safe working conditions, protection for collective bargaining and much more.

It's the places where these things are absent, such as Uber and their non-employees, where people suffer more. Of course, anything can be taken too far, but unless workers have real power and leverage, they will be taken advantage of.

It may sound like economics, but it's not coincidence that everything the right wing promote strengthens business and/or weakens labor. The economic rationalizations are post-hoc talking points.
Thank you for the reference. I didn't know of it and will certainly have a look.
Did they know of specific instances of fraud or just more generally that it was going on?

I find this interesting because I just saw a story in my local news about Western Union getting flack because they were making it difficult for certain customers to send money to known terrorist countries. They were called 'bigoted' and 'racist'.

They really can't win here. If they allow anyone to send money anywhere, they get fined by the government for supporting criminals. If they try to make a judgment call, the public gets up-in-arms about it and thinks they are bigoted (and potentially lose customers or get involved in other lawsuits).
Everything you mentioned can be accomplished in text chat and I would say those kind of interactions are more likely to happen on something like Slack.

Text chat allows people to "overhear" conversations in an unobtrusive way to both the person doing the eavesdropping and the person(s) talking.

In-person requires more active engagement to do the same thing -- you have to go and interrupt that conversation, or awkwardly put yourself into the conversation and "listen." If your entire company is in the #general channel, you will naturally discover things passively eavesdropping that you wouldn't see or hear otherwise in a physical office.

Someone born in 1924 would be 15 in 1939 and ~93 today. So, not everyone that got it in the 30's would be dead.

However, "A hysterectomy is the second most common surgery among women in the United States. The most common surgery in women is childbirth by cesarean delivery (C-section). Each year in the United States, nearly 500,000 women get hysterectomies" so it really is common.

Over 50 years that would be around 25 million women. Total female population is ~160 million or around 16%. But you only really care about adult women which would have higher rates. So, a baseline of 20% with some sub populations being 2x higher seems completely believable.

How about an inter-state compact where states can willingly join a group and adopt common set of laws/regulations. If California, New York, Illinois and Massachusetts join this group, you already have 75-80M population with more liberal states to follow. This group can also be used to advance other liberal agenda on issues pertaining to energy, climate or agriculture.

Of course, conservative states can do the same to advance conservative agenda to bypass gridlock in DC. But nothing wrong with that either. We will have some sort of real world A/B testing between the two groups and see which policies work better for a given problem.

The advantage of a compact of states is that it enables significant weight behind a proposal, which would be hard to ignore for the companies (eg. fuel efficiency standards might be ignored for MA alone, but will be hard to ignore for market controlling 30-40% of the population).

The White House's press room is actually a rather small room, and there are only 49 chairs in the room. You can see some of the pictures at Wikipedia and from links thereof (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_S._Brady_Press_Briefing_...).

One thing that is worth pointing out is that the chairs are all assigned seating to specific news organizations. This assignment is NOT done by the White House but the White House Correspondents' Association. So the Trump administration can't decide to, say, replace the Christian Science Monitor's or Al Jazeera's seat with Breitbart News.

The linked article doesn't discuss who is going to be allocating these virtual seats--and I rather suspect that it's going to be decided by the White House and not the White House Correspondents' Association. It's disappointing that the article doesn't mention this, since knowing the answer to this question is what really sets the purpose of the move. If it is to be given to the White House Correspondents' Association, then it is likely an attempt to give voice to a wider range of media... but if it's White House-controlled, then it's more likely an attempt to guide press briefings to only considering questions from more compliant news organizations.

Edit: There are 49 seats, not the 42 that I originally stated.

> increase Uber's already sizable losses, causing the business to fail

Or they will need to adjust and find another way, like all businesses do. Or they will fail and someone else will find a better way. That's what the free market is about.

It's an old trope that if you increase costs on a business, it's passed along to customers or someone else. That's not how economics works; businesses have many options, they aren't locked into their way of doing things (again, that 'free market').

One question I always have is, why should I care if Uber succeeds or fails? They openly disdain caring about anyone else, including their drivers and the laws of the communities where they operate. I care about their workers, but what does Uber itself matter to me?
People shouldn't vape in offices for the same reason they shouldn't pass gas. It smells and it's rude.
I don't know about the rest of it, I suspect you might well be right, but having been born in Mexico, lived in the US for 5 years and traveled to China for 2 weeks, I can tell you that "lack of food delicacies" is a much bigger issue in the USA than in China from my point of view ;)

In Dickens' time kids were chained to the machines and beds were rented per shift, so they were always kept warm.

I've never inadvertently run into the head of marketing in Slack. I have in an elevator on the way back from lunch.

I don't randomly run into colleagues while eating lunch on Slack. I do in the cafeteria.

If I need to casually run something by someone else without raising hackles, I can arrange to bump into them in person. I can't do that in email/Slack.

Text chat is a useful tool, but is not a full replacement for the human experience of walking around other people in 4D.
You can vape with no nicotine at all, or you can vape from 0.1mg/ml all the way past 50mg/ml if you wanted to. "Vaping is much more addictive" is like saying sugar is more addicting from a glass of chocolate milk than than it is from a bag of gummy worms.

And I'd say 95% healthier is a pretty good margin.

There are tons of companies that provide this service, and while it is likely that Google has worked on improving this since I last cared, back when Voice launched and for at least a couple years after aome of them had better quality transcriptions than Google (which were comically bad).

Here is a great post from Bobby Johnson (ex-Facebooker and CTO of Interana) with his opinion on "in-memory" data stores: https://community.interania.com/t5/Blogs/The-Myth-of-In-Memo....

This was the reasoning behind a very key architectural decision at Interana that makes it different than Scuba - instead of developing an in memory system, Interana created a custom data store that is heavily optimized around using spinning disk and CPU cache. This makes it incredibly fast and less expensive to operative massive clusters at scale.
"You're taking for granted that's it's possible and that we'll eventually make it (as does the Fermi paradox)."

No, I do not. Just the Fermi paradox. I know that I am not because I lean Rare Earth myself, and generally believe FTL travel (and while we're at it, time travel) are simply impossible. But if you want to disprove the Fermi paradox with the specific claim that all civilizations kill themselves off, then you must be able to produce a reason why all civilizations kill themselves off. Not "a lot" of them. Not "most" of them. All of them. It only takes one to colonize the galaxy.

Plenty of people question the "initial statements" of the paradox, which is why I have a snappy two word "rare Earth" phrase to explain my position.

They have the same IP address, not necessarily the same DNS hostname, which is what the certificates are tied to. The user would just be told to connect to the hostname (possibly printed in the sticker) rather than to the IP.

It's quite a big leap from a single isolated electron to a system with hundreds of them (not to mention QCD interactions).

While you are right that there is no a priori reason to dismiss that, it's not quite a bagged thing. Especially considering that we are missing some things for sure (neutrino mass, ...)
His point was that he didn't want to.
Per my other reply, if you accept the original terms of the Fermi paradox, which is that there should be a lot of alien civilizations, then merely killing off "nearly all" of them is insufficient. It only takes one species to colonize the galaxy. Life is probably nearly impossible, but it only takes one cell to colonize a planet.
Well.. Darpa designed arpanet (the precursor) to the internet to persist in the event of a nuclear holocaust. All of those bunkers probably have ham radios (thanks Jon Conner) and redundant internet connections.
I'm living in the bay area right now and I find it one of the most ugly and boring places I've ever seen. Can't wait till I'm out of here. San Fransisco is less boring and ugly, but at night it's crawling with homeless junks and the weather sucks. Silicon Valley is also this endless chain store thing you describe and there's almost no nightlife.

Hey, so I understand PyCharm is an editor, but what other functionality does it have that Sublime Text doesn't?

I guess what I am asking is... what does everyone use for their DevOps stack (if that makes sense?)

Right now I am using:

CMD/bash

vitualenv

Sublime text

Ruby

Django

I haven't installed a database yet, but was going to use Postgres.

The way I understand Pycharm, I could use it to replace Sublime text and CMD/Bash right?

> Corporations are amoral, always have been, always will be.

That's not true; all corporations make moral choices, probably even Uber.

What's wrong with legislation? It's knee-jerk to reject it, but I like the democratic way of solving problems.

> The way to force morality upon corporations is for the CONSUMERS to be moral

Why is millions of individuals all making a moral choice more likely than one company doing it? How often does this work? The 'free market' assumes people will act in their own interests; where that invisible hand fails to deliver, such as situations like this one, we use laws and regulations to correct the situation.

If you want to "bribe" someone, you don't hand them cash. You fly them to that industry conference in Hawaii in February. You give their spouse a non-job. You give them great interest rates on loans.

Lyft is more upfront about tipping too, which is why I prefer to use them now. I have issues with both, but Lyft seems to actually try to give the idea that they care about their "employees" whereas Uber seems to be on a literal crash course to making something work before self-driving cars can take over and they can fire all the humans.
> It seems to me that if Uber is unable to pay its drivers a living wage, they don't actually have a sustainable business model.

Why does everything need to pay a living wage? Uber driving is so easy that there must be a sizeable population of people that are willing to do it for less than a 'living wage' (retirees, students, housewives who want to get out of the house once, unemployed people between jobhunting).

I do it myself a few times a week just because I like driving, even though it pays literally 8x less than my day job.
> Work (good or bad) is a crutch many people rely on to feel as though they're accomplishing something.

That seems unfair, since "crutch" in that context usually refers to something used to overcome an injury or disorder. But wanting regular structured work isn't a bad thing, just like your exercise/reading/TV/relaxation isn't a "crutch." Different people like different stuff.
I second this. My advisor and I recently visited Cisco to present some embedded security work we've been doing. From what I could gather, they were very interested in ensuring that their customers' applications and devices were secure. They were also looking for ways to provide their customers with ways to check for government backdoors.
