Get new footwear :). Get some flavour from somewhere like outdoorgearlab.com, then find a proper outdoor store that'll fit you properly. You'll find that you probably won't end up in whatever reviews best, but you can use the knowledge of what to look for in those reviews to make sure your choice is right.

Basically, everyone's feet (and walking style) are different. I discovered this when I started skiing last year; I got myself a cheap pair of boots when I started and absolutely hated it. After everyone told me I'd been an idiot -- that while you can cheap out on skis, pants, gloves, poles, whatever, and that boots are the only thing worth spending money on for beginners -- I went to a boot fitters and spent a few hours getting sized properly. Suddenly, skiing became one of my favourite pastimes.

Walking's similar. If you're walking in top of the line boots that don't fit your feet or your gait, you're going to end up injured pretty quickly. If you're walking in cheap boots, it's even worse. Find a shop with a wide variety of brands and decent staff who know how to fit you up properly (they'll often squeeze in orthotics to adapt for your gait too). Since doing that this summer, I've had a much more comfortable time hiking :).
With so much proximity between worlds and seemingly easier access to nearby space and it's resources, I feel that any sentient life in a system like this will have had a massive evolutionary advantage over us.
The attack vector DNSSEC would protect against is DNS spoofing by an active MitM.

That sort of attack might only be possible for nation state adversaries (or maybe it's not that hard to intercept LE's DNS requests) but I suppose that for many nation states it would be cheaper just to force a CA operating in their country to issue them a fraudulent certificate if they wanted to spoof a specific domain.
It is indeed a high bar, but not every top-tier company has a role open for someone with her skill set at the same time. I can't speak to specifics on who else she talked to, but she is damn good at what she does.

>This article also explains Uber's tendency to just ignore laws and see what they can get away with.

In many jurisdictions it was - maybe still is - much worse than just ignoring laws, but actively conspiring to break the law.

For example in Miami-Dade County where being an Uber was illegal in both the criminal and civil context, during that period Uber sent emails to drivers in Miami-Dade with instructions/training on how to actively avoid getting caught, including, but not limited to: removing the Uber phones from windshields and having passengers sit in the front seat.

There is another of Uber's dirty little secrets here in Miami-Dade and that is that Uber is used by drivers to exploit undocumented immigrants, which as far as I can tell Uber is aware of and encourages/facilitates. Moreover, undocumented immigrants can't get a drivers license in Florida; therefore, can't register as Uber drivers. It happens all the time in Miami that the actual driver does not match the Uber driver profile, from my talks with those drivers they are clearly getting exploited.

Quoting from a 2014 Bloomberg column:

Stories about the leadership’s dubious ethics -- or the ones about subprime autoloans or deceiving the press or sharing private user data for fun and games at a party --haven't really hurt Uber at all. Even reports of incidents that might make one think twice about using the service -- sexual assaults, a hammer attack -- haven’t gained much attention outside the close world of tech blogs. There’s only a slim chance that most consumers will ever know about this stuff and decide that they’d rather use, say, Lyft, an almost-identical service. So long as people continue to download the app there’s an even slimmer chance that the stories will hurt the company’s ability to raise money.

I think 2017 is time to start finding out the degeneration of this uber-capitalist model. A portfolio of on-call collaborations paying peanuts without any workers right does not make a job and is not safe for customers. Please stop defending the undefendable, bare naked social costs are too high.

Good article, but just to nitpick a 0.3% hemoglobin A1c change over only 2 tests doesn't necessarily mean anything. Normal people can vary by that much from week to week due to a variety of factors. We would have to see multiple tests over a longer period of time to tell whether there was a real reduction.
Enron was noted for their management philosophy of promoting the top X%, and firing the bottom X%, with the idea that they'll "naturally select" for good employees.

Instead, they selected for people willing to do anything, including sabotage, betrayal, and lying, to get ahead. This worked out famously.

I have done a great deal of armchair research in this area. It seems like if we can figure out a way to get the salt out of the cells, Salicornia protein would be an excellent, sustainable way to offer humans a plant based protein for which the inputs are literally sun and sea water and the output is a high quality vegan protein source that can be grown in the dessert. Getting the salt out of the cells was above my head biochem wise but I hope this goes the Tesla route of disruption, starting as a garnish on fancy hipster salads and ending up the standard in staple meal cooking greens. The biggest advantage is the lack of reliable on fresh water and ability to grow on saline land. If we can create the demand the business case for a business whose main inputs are sunlight and seawater is pretty strong.
Interesting, I wonder how far this can go? I'd guess that if you're not making a mint, or likely to, then your motivation to stick around must be fading by the day.
For sure they enable it. Developers enable Uber doing anything. If the developers decided they would not work at a company that did these unethical things, then Uber wouldn't exist.

The buck only ever stops at you. You never pass off your moral responsibility or obligations, regardless of what organizational models you're in or where you fit in them. It doesn't matter if you're just following orders or just taking the highest paycheck and just doing development.

So yes, there is malfeasance here that is due specifically to the developers. Are you going to trot out the Nuremburg defense or do you agree?

Yes, but in SF there are Uber drivers who are undocumented but registered using fake SSNs. You can get this taken care of in the mission I'm told.
I don't really understand why one would actually want to work at Uber. If you're a good engineer, there are better and far more interesting and impactful companies to work at than an app whose primary purpose is to call a ride. I know Uber has much larger ambitions, and transportation is a large portion of the economy, and thus very lucrative, but really...are you willing to sacrifice your ethics and morals just to create the world's best taxi service in the near term? To work in such a high stress, backstabbing and political environment, and for what? The vague promise of some RSU's? Because there are interesting engineering challenges in planning a route?

Culture is clearly set at the top. The only way for Uber to move forward at this point is to make changes with this in mind. At this point, if I was on the board of directors, the only way to move forward is to get rid of Travis Kalanick. That will be the only message loud enough to signal to the rest of the world that Uber is going to change, and at this point, do they really even need him? It would be better to just fire him and replace him with someone else to just get him out of the picture. He's an embarrassment to the company and they can easily find someone just as capable from a business and technical leadership perspective, probably someone a lot better than him in fact who they can trust won't be making these rookie mistakes.

One of the main roles of a CEO is to set the culture and to prevent PR disasters like what is currently going on. What else of value has he recently contributed that is worth keeping him on despite all these numerous scandals?

If Uber does not do what is necessary to change their toxic environment, and to fix the now perception of toxicity, they will be eclipsed by one of their competitors in short order. You can go fast in a cut throat, winner takes all asshole culture, but you can go much farther with a happy team that enjoy working with one another.

I think the studies on corporate culture have shown that it's critically important to have a culture (Built to Last has a chapter on "cult-like cultures"), but it doesn't matter (much) what that culture is. The idea is that culture is a unifying principle for the organization; it's a way for the company to clearly delineate what it stands for, attract people who believe in that too, and repel people who don't. The world is an awfully big place; for basically every repugnant belief you can think of, there is somebody, somewhere, who believes that it's common-sense.

If you don't like it, work for or patronize a different organization. Lyft's entire differentiator is "We're not as evil as Uber."

Well, if software is eating the world, the people writing the software get to decide how it's digested. If we do that, that is. We could do what the physicists did and just pass off mass destructive power to the politicians, that worked out great.

Or we could take some responsibility for ourselves and the consequences of our actions.

Ask HN: Navigating DAFT – any recommended lawyers or legal firms?
Hi HN! I'm thinking of establishing residency in the Netherlands by way of DAFT, but I don't think I want to navigate the process by myself, so I'd like to enlist the aid of a legal agency with experience in this area. I've found the following so far but haven't called for a consultation yet:

* Expatlaw (expatlaw.nl)

* Everaert Advocaten (everaert.nl)

* Adam & Wolf (dutch-americanfriendshiptreaty.com)

Does anyone have experience with these or any other firms, especially pertaining to DAFT? Thank you!

One wonders both what motivations and possible evolution bases# there are for both corporate and social media respectively to shape, amplify and reinforce moral panic memes like "terrorists posing as immigrants," "software criminals," "evil corporation [when portrayed as a monolithic, malevolent being]," InfoWars conspiracy theories, etc.

Brainstorming quickly: there's obviously profit-motive (in for-profit media: clicks), agenda (where not minimized by editorial review), influence brownie-points (ie likes, shares, other metrics), envy of unattainable status (ie lottery winners, high-paid engineers, caste, etc.), in-group values-reinforcement tribalism (ie hating on changes) and ongoing infatuation with topics that don't have a conclusive resolution (ie MH370, etc.). But what are some other motivations?

(#All your "basis" (plural) are belong...)

EDIT: There's also spinning up unsubstantiated tall-tales to reinforce prejudices. Gotta love social Darwinian pressures to eliminate potential "rivals" / competition for "limited" resources.
Why do you talk about 'engineers' as if they were a single mind? They've also been working on nuclear weapons for generations.
Right, so for example, if you work in one of the big places that has their finger in almost every pie, it's tough. What could you work on that's not conceptually related to something Microsoft or Google are doing? You couldn't even make video games.

the way tesla _could_ surpass toyota is branching out into adjacent industries. they are already showing a willingness to do that with battery-manufacture, powerwall, solar installations etc. this potential for increasing ambitiousness likely increases the multiple of TSLA stock.

The main blocker on using pixels has been getting them from the emulator. I doubt pixels would give a big advantage over RAM features, especially after projectile and stage info is added (there's a PR pending). Captain Falcon (the main character used) doesn't have projectiles anyways.

In fact, RAM features are likely to be much more useful for model-based approaches, which may be important for solving the action-delay problems.

As for multiple characters, the character ID is available to the network. I doubt pixels will be help there either.
Yes! Sorry, we were agreeing but I well-actuallied you.

I don't understand why capital expenditure is viewed as a loss. You spend $1mil on infrastructure, afterwards you have $1mil of infrastructure (which now should start earning you money) instead of $1mil of cash. H ow is that a loss?
Wouldn't it only be required if you wanted to mount the UEFI system partition? (Which is formatted in a variant of the FAT FS, IIRC.) If you don't want to mount the system partition, you shouldn't need the module. (Although, my system puts kernel images there. IDK if this is typical of UEFI systems. IIRC, Grub is capable of loading from ext FSs, so this shouldn't be a hard-and-fast requirement.)

I do not want to defend Uber but all these things happened in all companies I worked for.

They were bigger and in these companies "aggressiveness" is just fucking backstabbing everywhere. At least they went to Las Vegas.

That is why... many others are the same but not successful to be in the news.
That's funny, I thought I had added email to my HN profile. My name is Tashi Daniels and I have a Gmail account under my name.

First session would be talking generally about how much you want to learn and figuring out what your definition of "success" would be, possibly with a timeline, and quizzing you with a ton of simple problems to see how much you know now and what confuses you. Ideally we'd find out in the first session if there's one concept or procedure you have the most trouble with and we can start hacking away at it.
I'm also not sure that companies sponsor people 100% of the time when they are a fit for a role - do you know? Honestly curious.

> how many people, riders, pedestrians and drivers does Uber have to kill

I don't think you can really pin accidents on Uber.

Then again their drivers are constantly fucking up traffic, so maybe.

I agree with you though. But people worship the founder, the guy who built the company. They just see him as a maverick, a guy standing up for corruption and breaking taxi monopolies.

Sure they actively flout regulations put in place for good reasons and seem like a pretty scummy company, but that valuation!
FYI VSCode has always been an electron app, and thus always worked on all platforms.

Visual Studio on the other hand is a gigantic IDE that only runs on Windows.
I could say the same thing about Facebook and Zuckerberg.

The non-shitty companies are dwarfed in numbers by the teeming masses of shitty companies. Uber is not special here.
I think those specific incidents were carried out by the drivers (independent contractors) and they weren't formal employees. Not that I'm excusing uber of liability/responsibility.

So I am presuming you are male. I am presuming you did not get her explicit permission to post that here. I see you also do not really give her credit by name, supporting link, whatever -- probably because you do not have her permission.

Maybe you should wonder a bit more about why your experience at the company is "great" when all I hear seems to be about how completely poisonous the company is. Because it looks like you may be part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Edit: I say that because you are using some woman's words out of context to further your agenda in a predominantly male discussion forum. This is suspicious behavior, at best. It fits completely with what I have read Susan Fowler say about how women got treated there while she was working there.

I wish more people readily recognized the pattern and how very ugly it is.
> And while the FCC currently supports some regulation, it still allows zero-rating, which many critics believe violates net neutrality.

> Eliminating regulations essentially means ISPs can continue charging consumers for access to the internet while simultaneously charging institutions for prioritized access to those customers. This means any organization without deep enough pockets to pay an ISP’s ransom will load much slower than those with ties to ISPs.

Zero-rating may actually lead to a much more dire but subtle future: it's impossible to start a new service because you can't afford to have your content zero-rated (let alone do it at every ISP). If zero-rating increases, data caps can be lowered without a lot of consumer complaint. The lower the caps get, the more necessary it is to be zero-rated if you want consumers to use your service.

The really bad part of this is there isn't any need to have fair pricing. Companies like Netflix, Amazon, and Google can all negotiate lower rates than a new startup because of their volume. Worse, the ISP's own zero-rated services automatically get a pricing advantage because they don't have to pay to be zero-rated.
When it comes to physics, it does in fact mean you can use the principle you discovered in engineering technology. That's kind of the whole point.

Really naive question, can't they just train the net to react instantaneously on a $d$-delayed screen? I don't see conceptually why this approach would succeed with d=0 but fail for (say) d=25ms. (I am too busy/lazy to read the papers and understand what breaks down.)
