Let's face it, some clothes that women wear are distracting for men, including a tank top. It is an animal instinct to look at beautiful women and be attracted to them. It is like putting a chocolate infront of you and saying you cannot eat it. Of course, you will resist but it will make focusing harder for you.

There's a line between 'unprofessional' and 'illegal'.

I think you think I said something different than what I think I said. :) I'm not talking about "evil" or "hate". I do understand needing to pick the least-worst option. And I'm not judging anyone else's situation/choices, as a customer.
It may or may not be illegal depending on where they are in the org chart, but you should still not do it.

Health "insurance" in general is a ridiculous concept. Insurance is supposed to flatten the cost of undertaking risky endeavors. Maybe there should be injury insurance for athletes, and STD insurance for sex workers. But the average human who jacks into the matrix for 18 hours/day is not taking any undue risk and should not need health insurance to get treatment for their cancer any more than they need murder insurance to pay for the investigation of their own death.

Capitalism is as faulty an ideology as any. Some things should not be for-profit. Healthcare is one of them.

I'm European and German. I feel well supported by politicians like Merkel and Schulz. Both are among the most popular politicians in Germany and there is a reason Merkel is chancellor: people have voted for her politics. After the next election either Merkel or Schulz will be chancellor.
IANAL either, but there's a difference between not falling into a trap and deceiving the authorities. To continue the analogy, it would be more akin to telling the officer that you're willing to offer services if he meets you at a different street corner with the intention of fleeing later.

First, there's a huge difference to blocking access to everyone, and perhaps just allowing access to selected few vs allowing access for everyone and blocking access to few that could penalize you for doing it.

Second, privacy has nothing to do with it, this is not an information we talking about, but a service. A bit like dealing weed/prostitution/etc and actively looking if there isn't any cop around.

It's the kind of stuff the boring, slow-moving, TCG group were talking about long ago for improved DRM and security. Then they advertised their backdoors publicly as vPro while people here argued why Intel rand was trustworthy (lol). They sold that as management benefit for enterprises. Eventually those gradual changes got to the current point.

Although I recommend switching off x86, I don't buy the claim that we cant do another x86 without backdoors. For one, Intel or AMD might do a "semi-custom" design without one for a price. Second, Centaur has long been the 3rd player in x86 for low power stuff sold by VIA. They'd probably do a high-performance design if incentivized. Third, many x86 players showed up over time that simply failed in market or were acquired. Nothing stopping another unless there's a legal restriction Im unaware of.
While you can't be responsible for everything people around you do, some actions have pretty predictable consequences. One should get blamed for them.

Unless your counterparty goes ahead and deposits it in their bank at the end of the day.

If five of the twenty bills you withdrew at 9 am were deposited by Seven-Eleven at 7 pm, I can guess that you went shopping at Seven-Eleven... And more likely then not, I'll be right.

A particular bill does not change hands very frequently between ending up at a bank. If anything, a bill that you withdrew not ending up back in circulation is suspicious.

Insurance laws and employee laws, for starters. And even medallion laws in some places, because they offset the costs cabs incur for being a part of city transportation infrastructure - costs like adapting cars to service elderly and disabled.
I'm very sorry. I hope you are coping as best you can. Good advice, though.

I might add (as I'm going through it right now for the first time at 44 with my hetero domestic partner) to consider writing a last will and testament. Some lawyers' fees attached to it, but a sound thing to have as a contingency. It also forces you to think about your values.
Yes, the ethics at the level of "should I sell a device that lets (usually) minor law breakers avoid surprise enforcement."

Uber here seems to be in the same league as radar detector manufacturers, Waze's "Police" alerts, police scanner apps, etc.

Totally agree on the comparison to Trump. Thought this for a while and never said it. Interesting see the same. Listen to an earnings call.

But the biggest was when TC went on CNBC Cramer and insisted China was going great to find out China was a disaster.

The other was during quiet time he ended up taking a tour of the trading floor right next to were CNBC was broadcasting live. They were like Tim why are here? He said he was talking a tour with his nephew.

Uber is clearly circling the bowl. I think it's questionable whether the company will exist in a year. If they do, I think it will be at a significantly reduced headcount. That brings up the question of what they will do with the new office in Oakland designed for 3000 employees that they won't need. Will they consolidate in Oakland and sublease their expensive real estate in SF? Or will they try to unload the expansion property and stay where they are?
I used to work at Uber, and there would always be bad press. Negative spins on just about everything we did.

It didn't deter me at the time simply because 90% was totally bogus and completely blown out of proportion. Just like this article is.

I left the company because it grew too big and the culture began to suffer for it, but all these doom and gloom stories about Uber breaking the law are just silly. Existing taxi regulations are terrible, and none of it makes any sense. None of it even benefits taxi drivers. They are designed to benefit companies who hold medallions, companies who are deep in bed with local governments.

Cities would never have had the incentive to get with the times if it wasn't for Uber, Period.
Oh, it's clever, just not particularly evil.
Unfortunately, the US Government does not accept tax payments in turnips, emeralds, pirate treasure, moonshine, or Eth. Until that changes, you will need to interface with the USD economy.

The US government also expects your tax payment on an annual basis.

SaaStr Podcast #100: Aaron Levie, Founder and CEO  Box: Scaling in Enterprise
I'm aware of the limitations on SPEC editing.

However,

"If someone managed to make an optimization that could suddenly make GCC 2x faster without humans editing GCC's source, that would be a major CS breakthrough :)
"

No, it really wouldn't.
For example, if you optimize the line-ending and tokenization finding in GCC's parser to use SIMD, you would become significantly faster.
Not 2x, but significantly. These are entirely doable by compilers.
" But you don't ever get to re-write the benchmark itself, you can't replace a 2^N path with an N^3 path or anything like that."

Except, you can, by hoisting calls out of loops, etc.
There are also dynamic memoization optimziations that can be applied, etc.

"If someone managed to make an optimization "
This is a common fallacy that it's ever really one optimization. It's usually combinations of optimizations, each buying you N%.

I will state outright, having worked on pretty much all of the slow parts of gcc (according to spec profiles), and having a team of 80+ people working on compilers, 2x on gcc through compiler optimization is more than within the realm of possibility.
Wow! I had no idea the state actually piped water down like that, over mountain ranges no less.

or even that the dam served that purpose. thanks for sharing.
Nah, that wasn't the purpose unless Im misremembering. It came later as a selling point. It started in initiatives such as Trusted Computing Group where these companies agreed on technologies to control what runs on the PC for security and DRM purposes. Featured regular, secret meetings on top of the public ones.They took lots of flak when DRM goals got press attention. That they're just helping companies manage stuff or users fix computers sounds much more pleasant. They also made sure it was true by adding those features. ;)

Personally I consider civil disobedience of unjust laws to be acceptable, for either a single person or for an organized group of people (such as Uber).
Here in Seattle absolutely everyone would give you dirty looks. I don't trust anyone in a suit, and I don't think they make a man look anything other than sleazy.

Different cultures, different perceptions. Tech culture as a whole does not share the NYC mentality that suits are a reasonable norm. Dress codes just don't jive with a need for authenticity. Give me the weird guy wearing a kilt over the slick sales guy in a suit any day.
And what if the tool doesn't actually track police officers ? Tracking bad customers by credit card, and making it difficult for them to inconvenience other drivers after doing it a few times would seem to be a quite normal thing for any credit card payment receiver to do.

I mean this thing would probably be looking for jokers (think ordering pizza to your neighbour's house), people with invalid credit cards, people who abuse drivers, and so on and so forth.

So what happened is probably more like this: officers order cars, have the Uber drivers drive up to them, cancel the ride and ticket the driver. The Uber app then proceeds to ask the drivers to "rate the passenger". Needless to say, the police accounts get very bad scores. After doing this 2 or 3 times, the app still shows the police officers the normal interface, but doesn't actually calls cars, knowing the rides will be canceled. The tool now has 2 or 3 separate pieces of information indicating these are not good-faith customers and stops acting in good faith towards them. So it don't tell the bad users it's ignoring them, because they'll just get a new account and start harassing more drivers again. And there you have it: "greyballing".

So it could very well be this isn't designed to catch law enforcement. It just happens to.
Just because you say it's "socially untenable forced immigration" does not make it so. You have no evidence that it is, indeed, untenable. Rants from your "expat friends" are not evidence, they are anecdotes.

Germany has been accepting much more immigrant refugees than other European countries, out of moral duty but also out of economic interest. Germany has had pro-immigration programs for years before that, especially after the great recession, because the country has a deficit of young working-age people to contribute to their economy.

Some refugees have committed crimes and offenses, as it is likely to happen from any large group of people. I have yet to see any evidence that they do it in higher proportion that european-born population.

You can take any anecdote and turn it into fear-mongering. Before we had refugees, romani people were the target of choice, before that, south-europeans. Nationalists have always found a convenient scapegoat.

And by the way, there is no evidence that immigration, even mass choc-wave immigration, has adverse effects on the economy of a country.

I work at a big company in Silicon Valley. Our "happy hours" take place during work hours, usually from 3-5pm. However most people use it as an excuse to leave work early to beat traffic on 101/280 (but let's face it, no one beats traffic here). I'm 26 while most of my coworkers are in their 40's and 50's. I don't think anyone cares if I go or not.

> Those tactics don't work unless the dirt exists

Dirt exists, this is obvious and well documented, and Uber does not even denies it. Now the tactics you are talking about are purely hypothetical. There is no need for a Machiavellian plan to exist for all downfalls and catastrophies (although sometime there is one.)

So what exactly is "corporate politics by insurgent means"?
Do you still work at Fedex in Memphis? If so, we're in same vicinity. Maybe we have lunch some time and Ill tell you all about the various subversions going on. :)
> Does that also hold when the state allows the vast majority of the transactions within the state to be mediated by banks and payment processors who charge a proportional "processing fee" on every single transaction which becomes essentially indistinguishable from a tax?

The existence of other necessary service providers who also.demans payment in the government's preferred currency is an additional source of support for currency value, not a countervailing force.

And it's often largely a secondary product of the government requiring the use of the currnecy, anyway, especially when they are heavily regulated creatures of law, like banking corporations.

Magically your Uber cars never arrive and the system LIES to you about it. At the very least shouldn't this qualify as false advertising?

How does this not disturb people here greatly? Are you really so sure that you will never magically be in a group that is considered "undesirable"?

If you want to defend Uber on the axis that they are a "proper" taxi replacement who is "just" sweeping away old, stupid regulations, this just lost you the argument.

In addition, lying to people is how you get MORE regulation piled on you, not less.
It seems reasonable to say switching cost is higher when it comes to citizenship than it is with which company you choose to get a taxi from.
Looks like oasisbob answered, thanks!
The system has extremely obvious use cases in abuse mitigation - it's basically HN shadow banning for car service. Only a few needed to know about the spot-the-officials aspect, and the rest is legitimate. And support don't need to know anything - if someone is reporting fake cars, they're an undesirable customer anyway so from Uber's standpoint, it's fine if support get confused and do a bad job.

a) Yeah, I would say that it is highly likely that the incredibly dramatic demographic change the past three years has been quite relevant for the 70% increase in sex crime victimization during the same three years.

Do you mind explaining that? I'm not sure I follow. It's obvious that a lot of dirt is coming out, but it seems to all be sourced internally.

I don't think there needs to be an explanation for why there's a lot of stories beyond it hitting the tipping point for many employees, but that doesn't mean there isn't one.
