The drivers will get removed from the "bring me from X to Y and leave me alone" equation, but drivers who can do slightly more complex things while driving around (pick up flowers here, then get my son from Judo practice, and practice his French with him in the car) will be a huge market, bigger than the current rideshare market, and a better moneymaker for drivers.

Uber just needs to think of themselves as a mobile staffing company and they'll be fine. Unfortunately, staffing is a market where "Move fast and be an asshole" isn't a great philosophy so they'll need a bit of a temperament change to survive.
Your blog post doesn't seem to discuss their response very much.

What leads you to believe that CloudFlare was impressively fast and transparent in this case? Especially since statements from Project Zero seem to imply that they were anything but.

>> [me] Yes, inheritance is fundamentally immoral. An obsession with one's genetic output is simply primitive tribalism.

> I assume you favor your own children over other people's children? If so, wouldn't that also be "immoral"?

Well, as I said, "My kid has had enough benefits already". Certainly he had the benefits and drawbacks of having the parents he did.

The dual problems arise from the social consequences of a "dynastic drive." One is the need to produce fully functional adults without the need of financial, social and other control over one's progeny. If children and their parents know they will grow and make their own way, it reduces, let's say, "parent" issues in adulthood. Both know there's no chance to "fix it" post moving out.

The second problem is the general "me" vs society issue. You were alive, you got to be a good and a bad person (all of us have been both), you had the lucky breaks you did. When you die, that's the end of it. If you are focused internally and on your genetic stem line (whatever that really is) you are less focused on your needs, and those of others, from society as a whole.
Could youtube-dl the video then redirect the browser to a locally-served (locally from the pi-hole device, that is) page embedding the video, provided you've got the disk space to cache it and don't mind waiting a bit for the video to download (admittedly a lot of caveats here, but could work for many people). That'd actually be a better experience for most sites youtube-dl supports, I'd think, not just Youtube.

To clarify: does a "grain" just run in one place, or is each "grain" a cluster of containers that can be spread-scheduled between disparate regions (i.e. "the Oasis service" and "your own machines" at the same time)? And, if the latter, do the cluster nodes have awareness of their locations, and can take advantage of that?

> My second statement was highlighting how ones own opinion of oneself is not objective.

And I retorted that ones own view of oneself can not be extrapolated onto the population at large if it is not objective.

But I should have been clear, when I mean "second statement" I mean so inside my own post. Ex:

1st Statement: "People," in this context, isn't defined either. If however we were to say that by "people" you mean millennials, then you would be wrong."

2nd Statement: "But if you meant "the population at large" you would be correct."

Which was in defense of the tech-literate and the young, but after researching some more my statements were based on old information.

The only people that come to mind who are easily susceptible to ads are the old and tech-illiterate, i.e those who don't have much experience with ads. Though this is just conjecture.
There really is a shortage of willing workers. There's all sorts of stories of companies in various industries not being able to find people willing to do actual hard work. And why should they? The public doesn't spend thousands of dollars to educate Americans to learn Calculus, ancient history, & Russian literature, only to end up picking strawberries like they're oxen? We'll have to figure out something else for this new class of citizens.

The perspective I'm coming from is "it's complicated". An example is about the Wal Mart here in the DC area, which tried to ban them a few years ago. You'd figure an wealthy liberal city like DC would forever ban them in favor of some fancy locally grown organic co-op farmers market or some crap like that. When the city council meetings came up to approve/disapprove them, the people that came up speak requesting approval were all the poor and the elderly, that relied on their low prices to make ends meet. Wal Mart in DC was approved.

And I would consider myself strong-union. At the very least every incorporated company that has any employee should have an employee representative on their board-of-directors.

They also introduce you to a lot of topics you may not have studied on your own, and give you the opportunity and resources to take them as far as you'd like. I spent a lot of years in universities and I never met a teacher who wasn't willing to spend at least some time with an interested student, or point them in the direction of materials for additional self-study.

Certain classes (particularly the calculus series and chemistry) were pretty exercise-laden but I don't remember anything else that wasn't somewhat obvious what the purpose was, or really many classes beyond science/math/foreign languages with much exercise-type homework. It's obvious with language classes why you're doing rote memorization. Calculus is pretty clearly an engineering weed-out gauntlet, and I have no idea why university chemistry is universally terrible. The context of humanities courses (kept separate from the occupational relevance) was usually obvious. Want to learn what different kinds of buildings are called? Take an architecture history course. Etc.

Mostly I remember undergrad classes as a bunch of 19 year olds who did about 2/3 of what they were assigned, and most of them took zero initiative. Sure, the first floor of the library was packed at night, but there aren't any books there. The stacks were basically ghost towns, and that is where the real learning goes down.

We'd love to claim this is some awesome growth strategy where we're renaming to juice the press. In reality, we switched from HyperDev to Gomix because the feedback we got was that the mention of 'dev' made people think it's a tool only for full-time developers, and we're trying to create something more accessible. And we're switching from Gomix to Glitch for the reasons hDeraj mentions, plus we just think it's a better name. Also each time we've introduced something new - with Gomix we had completely rewritten the backend with a writable filesystem. With Glitch we've greatly enhanced the community site.
AFAIK there is not enough publicly available data to answer this question. But total_corporate_revenue(1) / total_corporate_spend(2) is an almost nonsensical way to calculate that number.

(1) which is not the same thing, at all, as the total amount customers are paying for rides

(2) which is not the same thing, at all, as the cost of providing all uber rides
Yes, that is called a two-sided market/network effect.

Each driver increases value for riders, and each rider increases value for drivers. This two sides.

A 1 sided network is facebook. A two sided market is like the video game industry (more video games are good for gamers and more gamers are good for video game devs)

For taxi apps, imagine if there was only 1 driver in SF. That wouldn't be a good experience for consumers. Thus, network effect.
This seems to explain why the US dollar is good, not why bitcoin is.

Also zero storage costs is fairly misleading
>To be honest, I didn't find the extra "things" that my university taught outside of my Computer Science program to be of value. I took two public speaking classes, multiple business courses, and plenty of other general education courses.

I don't think you would get great values in those public speaking and business classes. I personally agree that people who want to do those things better just start doing it (although, the article tells a different story about the cook). Introductory science courses (which I would otherwise not being able to learn on my own) were certainly worth the price I paid for. I was in a public university and those 3-credit hours courses used to cost me about 800 USD per. There are not many other things that I could better spend my money - I think those are of great value (Although the MOOCs have shown that the price point for really good basic education could be set much lower, but with some trade-offs.)
Why did they encourage you to refer to it by different names? In what context?

Lessons from Dumas' Abbe Faria
Thank you for the specific references. I can understand the argument of specifically bulk SIGINT collection being problematic.

> I'm not saying that wiretapping someone with a warrant or monitoring someone within the law is a human rights violation.

As the communications of targets now mostly flow through the same "pipes" as the communications of normal citizens who are not of interest, I am curious how effective intelligence gathering could be conducted on actual targets without bulk collection. For example, the IC cannot quite get a warrant to secretly monitor non-state actors such as members of ISIS, al-Shabaab, AQAP, etc. Nor could the IC easily get a warrant to breach PLA computer systems to investigate the party responsible for breaching DoD networks.

It is very possible that I am not seeing this the right way, but I don't like the idea of the USA being the only country in the world who is suddenly in the dark with regards to intelligence. It puts us at a disadvantage with regards to our own defense as well as the defense of our close allies. I am genuinely curious if there is a counter-argument for this?

I wonder if there's any way to integrate this with OPNSense firewall. I already have that set up as my LAN's dns server so I can name my internal computers.
I'm sorry, but if you have an application dealing with time and you want to even think of defining a behavior independent of time zone, you should still be storing values in UTC.

Your example may work fine on a server that you control, but let's say your use case is a phone alarm program. You can't guarantee that your application will know when it's 7:30AM in the local time, but you can guarantee what the time is in UTC and not need network or the device's help to do it.

So now the time format you store depends on the architecture of your platform? What if you have to send this data between platforms now? Am I going to have to convert back and forth for each message? No thanks. I'll just store everything as UTC and stay sane.
I'm sorry if you got downvoted because of me. My cynism is probably the cause.

I'm not being specific about what the word "spy" means here, but just trying to make a general comment about what would appropriate for agencies like the CIA, NSA, FBI.

The parent comment seemed to imply that the goal/job of an intelligence agency ought to be to spy as much as possible on as many people as possible. I expressed doubt.
I don't know what it is about this type of comment, but whenever someone says something like this it really infuriates me.

Yes, freedom of speech and opinion and all, but my first thought is "How dare you criticize someone else for wasting time on something you don't feel is important. Unless you've never, once in your life, done a sub-optimal or unnecessary task. Go to a movie lately? Why didn't you send that money to a food bank? Why didn't you use that time to do some small piece of work to save the world?"

- Google's recently revised goal for their program is to license to existing manufacturers vs. building a car. (1)

- It's unlikely that whichever automotive company achieves autonomy first is going to immediately get into the ride sharing game, except perhaps Tesla but they don't have enough manufacturing capability (yet, or anytime soon) to be a global threat to Uber.

- Uber is never going to be a manufacturer but they have partnered with Volvo and Daimler (2) recently who seem very amenable to licensing / leveraging third party tech to continue to be competitive in selling automobiles.

- Why does Uber need to build autonomous tech vs license it? Are they concerned that the Google / Ford partnership is going to leave them out / decimated?

Mountable device tracking is very common to log. My company started implementing when we went from 20 to 30 employees. When things like this are at stakes, it's a small price to pay. In fact, it is so well known that this kind of tracking exists that very few people actually do try and actually do insert mountable devices in their computers, which makes the tracking even easier.
Let's look at it a different way. The MacBook battery is 55 watt-hours, the Tesla battery is 100 thousand watt hours. They both run their respective workloads for a similar amount of time. So, less than a tenth of a percent?
I was specifically asking what successful bets she made as CEO and I don't see anything in your answer pointing them out.

Saying her bets won because she found a buyer is like inferring you got some correct answers because you passed a test. It doesn't answer which questions (if any) were actually answered correctly.

It's entirely possible the market had no appetite for Yahoo prior to her becoming CEO, she mismanaged the company but not enough for it to implode under her watch, and the market changed its mind to it in 2016/2017.
No. It would definitely lead to a torrent of click-bait headlines though. So we have that to look forward to....

Also, that number must be Uber's total loss distributed per ride, rather than the profitability of each ride?

I'll second that unpopular opinion and claim I have experience with many other languages that I also enjoy.

The fun part about Mumps is that it's basically Lisp's ugly sibling, without meaningful scoping rules. You can easily do lots of terrible things in Mumps, but those things are usually more straightforward than the terrible things you do in other languages. You can also do elegant things, though a little less straightforwardly.

My single biggest complaint about Mumps codebases is that they're usually old, which means they have shitty documentation. Not that new ones are necessarily any better, but at least there's a chance new things are written in Orgmode or something :)
The most important lesson I learned in my first year is that if you want something, you're going to have to get it yourself. The world won't babysit you like it did before. Would be nice if I didn't have to pay $20k/yr for the opportunity to learn, though.

It's like hiring your own manager. Make it look like a weekly 1-1 meeting. Expose the project you're working on right now to see if he can get his hands dirty and understand your pain points, etc. See where he could be technically helpful to you.

Then, ask about his past experience working on career growth. Has he ever promoted anyone? What's his management style, hands-on/off? etc.

Honestly, algorithm questions are really out of the scope here (don't ask algo stuff... please :-)

That linked comment is pretty ridiculous. Unions only have that kind of hire/fire ability in some of the building trades. I've worked for 4-5 different employers that were unionized, and they had nothing like that kind of influence. You work for the company, who has hire/fire rights, under a contract negotiated by the union.

There's definitely a bias towards protecting useless people, for the simple reason that divide & conquer is a key tactic for disrupting the bargaining position of a union, and it's always a better play to defend the dopes.

WRT to harassment, unions almost always help. The company has an interest in not getting sued, the union has an interest to protect the employees. As with any relationship involving humans, things go off the rails sometimes, but you are protected against most types of arbritary and capricious retailiation.
Generally almost everything also has positive consequences, so you have to take both the positive and the negative sides into account.

Ads are not the only way to support free content, and in most cases free content is paid for with advertisement (at least not amounts you could see as a payment).

On the other hand ads lead to consumerism, overconsumption, poor spending habits, waste of resources for the adverts and the products they sell, and they reduce our attention to things that actually matter (like the traffic while we're driving cars).
Yeah I really enjoyed the technical details in Gary Brown's deposition: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3515476-Declaration-....

* That the Windows OS was re-installed

* Downloading and installing TortoiseSVN

* Transferring files from SVN

* When a card reader was plugged in

* When the OS was reformatted to Linux

* File downloads from Google drive
Among the circumstantial evidence, the self-funding aspect is what jumped out at me the most. This is the equivalent of a hedge fund manage buying something based on inside information, but only for his personal account. Why cut other people in on the wink-and-nod-guaranteed payday? Besides, Lewandowski couldn't realistically raise money through proper channels if his pitch amounted to, "I stole stuff from Waymo."
