This. I grew up in a medium sized town in Michigan. Haven't lived in MI for 20 years and haven't visited my hometown much since then since my parents now spend most of the year elsewhere. I spent almost a week there this Xmas and came to see how a community with strong union labor ties could vote for a candidate like Trump. Almost nothing had changed there in 20 years and what little had changed was almost exclusively for the worse.

This is crazy. I use Uber all the time and I think it's a great company. (Of course, I don't approve of harassment/discrimination - but the people directly involved are now gone, and people really should just calm down.)

Don't quit now - good jobs can be hard to get!
I have fried one or two, but it was my own fault each time. (Do not connect the +5v from the barrel connector to the GPIO pins!)

I use a BB Black in an outdoor location and it runs 24/7 with no hitches, and has been for months. It's in San Francisco and it's inside a control box, so not the most extreme conditions, but it has survived all the recent wet weather and hot days last summer with aplomb.

edit: I have flashed the firmware numerous times on several boards and have never had an issue.
Using the example of the car, you should be able to pay off the car after the 5-years. If you can't, then it's too much car.

Oddly, debt is supposed to help with seeing that. It breaks down the lump sum payment into monthly payments where you can compare to your monthly income.

Same experience with FreeNAS 9.x and AD.

But... I just upgraded to FreeNAS 10/Corral and the AD integration just worked!

Previously there was a `generate_smb4_conf.py` script that translated the UI selections into a `smb4.conf` file, but our AD had some weird schema issues that required a custom config. I ended up hacking parts of the generator script to get it to produce the right thing. In FreeNAS 10 it seems they switched to samba's Registry Configuration [1].

Is it though? The public sector in Denmark has been and will continue to use JAVA and C#. This is where a lot of the programming jobs are, mind you, yet if you look at who's switching to what and what languages are "trending" you'd see things like Go here as well.

Node as an example has been trending in my area for long enough for there to be job listings. Yet if I look at the job listings 90% of them are for JAVA, C# and .NET or PHP. In fact in a region of 1,5 million people where node has been trending for a while, there are 0 Node related job openings this morning.
Yeah I do, and of course they claim everyone should give them more money. Since I frequently heard that the new standard is 20% I've reduced my tips to 10%, pretax. If a bill helpfully prints calculations and the lowest option is greater than 15% I will leave less than 10%.

Taxi drivers get $1 no matter the fare. The gall of that industry to even ask...

And even the slightest infraction of protocol and I leave 0.

I used to overtip all the time. I got absolutely nothing of value for doing it, so forget it.

Nexus 9 tablet here. While in portrait the content takes up what I'd estimate to be 40% of the horizontal space, with the remainder used for ads and whitespace. The code samples are basically unreadable (requiring horizontal scrolling inside the div).

I force myself to get inside my car and start my app. There are no people who want a ride next to my house right now. I may be waiting for some time before I get a request that takes me to San Jose or another populated center. Or at least next to a hotel or something.

I drive around, worrying that I don't get dragged into Los Altos (nobody wants rides OUT of Los Altos late at night - they're all coming home). Sometimes I will drive for a few minutes picking someone up before they cancel. If I didn't get far enough to pick them up I get no money for this. I finally pick up the person and try to make conversation with them. They're not always willing to talk, but I understand.

After driving for a while it gets too late to get too many requests. I start late because driving in traffic is a horrible hourly rate.

I had to deal with app crashes, the maps app being wrong due to changes, people putting the wrong address, people not finding my car and calling me in a noisy place etc. Some people don't like this because they think I'm a full time driver and I'm supposed to know how to deal with these situations. I'm not a professional. I never received any training by Uber. I don't know every single street in your neighborhood. I don't even have enough experience doing it to know how to deal with every situation.

So I would use the odometer to see how much I actually drove (Uber doesn't count picking up as distance - a hold-over from taxi companies). I calculate my profit using the amount of miles, and minutes (I time when I start, not when I make my first pick-up). When I see a single digit number it makes me disappointed yet again. Even when I'm driving at football games it's still more like $12 an hour because of the damn traffic. It's 3x more expensive, but it takes very long to get out of the parking lot and to get into it.

Don't even let me get started on star ratings... giving an Uber driver 4 stars basically says "this person shouldn't be driving with Uber" since the minimum rating is like 4.3
> Why would you wait long? It's not like the system doesn't know where you are.

Because while there ARE people that are driving south, other Uber drivers are closer than me to them.

> Just start driving back, and if someone is around that needs a ride that direction, deliver it to someone already heading back to home territory in the same direction.

I tried that. Every single time I did it, I ended up home before Uber found anyone. The only time the feature was useful is getting closer to the freeway that I was going to take.

Sad they had to call out these specifically. When I moved back to the US and landed in San Jose (South Bay Area), I thought I was smart and would live "downtown." I only lasted 3 years before meeting a European woman and moving to a very culturally different part of the US.
It should just be "miles around my home address" when you start driving from home.
> First off, never, ever use complementary colors as the foundation for your design. A red green color scheme (for example) will produce a result that "vibrates."

That's an interesting effect, but I don't see it in the final website layout produced by the tutorial, because neutral colours are introduced between the two complementary colours.

So, I don't see how this example supports your assertion against using complementary colours as a starting point.
On what basis do you claim that "the people directly involved are now gone"? They fired an executive hired after most of the allegations took place, and in one story the worst offending supervisor has left. There's no evidence that the culture has changed, and the people that put that culture in place are still there.
I agree, screw common meat. Let's get interesting and take the bottom out of things like poaching by doing rare game meats, or creating entirely new engineered meats that are tastier and healthier than nature.

I do worry though on the impact this will ultimately have on the farming industry and jobs. It is a slightly subtler form of job automation.

>Things become black holes by being dense, not by having large mass.

not really. The larger the mass the less dense it has to be when it fits into its Schwarzschild radius. For example, our visible Universe - 46B ly radius - has Schwarzschild radius of 13.7B ly (that number sounds strangely familiar, isn't it? and may give rise to various speculations :), ie. it would have to be just 64 times denser that it is now, ie. like 64 atoms/m3 instead of the current 1 atom/m3.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_radius :

"The Schwarzschild radius of an object is proportional to the mass. "

Thus we can see that given the same density mass grows as a cube of the radius of containing sphere, and thus Schwarzschild radius of such a mass would grow as a cube of that sphere radius too. So if a mass grows it is possible for it to lose density pretty fast, like the sphere's radius square fast, and still fit into its Schwarzschild radius.
I'm not sure I see any interest in that tbh: what's the point of porting a memory-safe (with GC and runtime) on a VM especially dedicated to remove the costly memory safety part of JavaScript.

Plus, the concurrent model of Go doesn't really shine if you run it in a single threaded configuration (which is most likely to be the case in wasm).

I might be missing something but to me it sounds like pure hype to put go and wasm together.
So if I'm reading this patch correctly it's now writing things in blocks instead of as single bytes? Is that it?

And, well, yes. Ofcourse that does wonder's for throughput. And I would certainly hope that someone who writes a file-system knows that.

Edit: Re-reading the patch it seems like what's being done here is taking a (failed) at attempt at writing in blocks and actually making it write in proper block-sizes. Yay C, I guess.
Ask HN: Is there a bug in the HN comment upvoting system?
I apologize if this has been asked before (I did do a bit of searching before), but why does it always seem to be the case that the highest level comment in a thread always has the highest upvotes in said thread? Granted, I'm relatively new to Hacker News (and programming in general) but I've never seen a comment replying to a comment that garners more upvotes than the parent comment. This can't be just chance–is there some bug with how the comment system currently displays upvotes on comments?

Unfortunately it doesn't seem like the code for the upvoting system is publicly available (for obvious reasons) but this seems like a pretty strange occurrence to be merely coincidental. Or maybe I'm just crazy and someone could demystify this for me?
Most Americans are using debt to buy consumer goods. So the question most should ask themselves is, "As a citizen of a first world country, with a good job and a super high standard of living, why is it that I need to consume some of tomorrow's dollars to get myself even more stuff right now?"
The Schwarzschild radius of the Earth is something like 8mm. If the "moon" were to be visible to the naked eye, it would be more accurate to say that the planet orbits its moon.

Wow, somehow you managed to read the patch without reading the commit message that explains what actually changed.

No, you didn't read it correctly.

It should be noted that the premise dictates this eigenvector is limited in scope. It seems to apply mostly to people who both wish to create products (usually for some commercial venture) and have a habit of saying things like "Well this looks hard. Let's try reinventing this wheel with different tools and see what happens."
I moved coasts and city sizes, riding uberX a lot in both. East coast big city was strictly back seat. Continued the practice west coast smaller town and had a couple drivers mention it was unusual when I asked.
In that situation I still tip, just less, since my "load" on the restaurant staff is much less, no one had to take me to a table, take my order, bring my order, and clean my table. The tip is for the kitchen and for boxing/bagging up my order in that case, essentially.

I hate that even that is required, though. I would gladly pay an extra 15-20% for the food itself if I didn't have to leave a tip & the staff was paid the "normal" minimum wage, or more.

Here, it is legally mandated that cab drivers use the company-provided credit card machine to process all credit card transactions. The company takes 7% of all such transactions. Yes that percentage is ridiculously high, but it is mandatory per regulation. It is unacceptable for drivers to personally process credit card transactions, whereby they retain access to the credit card number. Forget the underhanded fraud to the taxi company for a moment - the driver personally has your credit card number. The risk of unauthorized credit card charges shoots through the roof.

Yes, this is racist: I don't trust an immigrant of a third-world country, whose primary interest is apparently to earn as much money as possible through illegal means, to retain my credit card information on their personal Stripe account. It doesn't just scream "shady", it is shady - and no native citizen would get away with this kind of crap.
You can't be unaware that Uber is flaunting taxi legislation. That's impossible to miss.
Yeah. Sciter's ideas would be awesome :(
Yea, I always figured tipping was paying for table service, but who knows. Ambiguity around what it's for and how much is "normal" is just one of the many, many reasons tipping is so idiotic.
Well yes actually. The fault is completely on me.

But in my defence, the code and diff is all colourful and highlighted... While the patch description is "hiding" very subtly in plain sight at the top.

When someone is new to any kind of system, their eyes will follow what attracts their attention. I didn't even notice there was a commit message there until you told me. Some minor UI tweaks could probably improve that page greatly :)
i read the article but with a skeptical frame of mind (ie, "if she knows her stuff, why does she need to be so 'flashy'?") plus the title just made me cringe. A 180 change after reading it (plus a quick peek at a few of the S/C vids on youtube): the person behind 'SexyCyborg' seems to be bright, pragmatic, and honest (indeed, well beyond their years). As the the father of a six-year old girl, If this person has somehow become a role model "[t]o inspire young women to go into technology", seems to me they've earned it.
Robot takes the stage in British play Spillikin
I've met a few people who moved across continents in their youth, sometimes multiple times. Almost without a fault, they are somewhat obsessed with the concept of 'home'.

My longest time abroad was a year in Chicago, and the place where I grew up is far too boring to ever be considered 'home', so I really have no idea where 'home' would be for me. But I'm largely just indifferent to the idea.

FWIW: I have many American friends living here in Berlin, and none of them are really struggling with their identity. But it may be different if you never had the experience of being part of the 'native' population... It's probably a similar fate to what members of other minorities (religion/race/disability) experience.
The road out front of your house costs $100,000 to build. You just using that, gets you back all the taxes you spend. Now multiple that by 10 million things, and you are still better off.
You could say charities are better in the sense that:

- You at least have more than one choice. If the charity you give to performs poorly by whatever metrics you value, you can give to another one next time.

- It is voluntary. Nobody with guns will put you in a cage if you don't donate to a charity, as is the case if you don't pay your taxes.

This is an over-simplification. It is actually hard for a foreigner who has no tipping experience coming in.
It's not what to tip, It's when/where that is the problem.

So sure the general rule is this percentage is for service, but what constitutes service as opposed to the job I'm paying for in the given price?

Full table service restaurant, ok I can handle that.

Taxis... apparently, sure... but again why is there a service component separate to the fare?

Fast food joint. No they don't really do much that constitutes service. Ok fine

Restaurant where you order and pay at the counter but they deliver to table... umm I'm not sure now, plus if its service shouldn't that be judged after, not before?

Bellhops/Luggage people at Hotels.. Apparently yes, but I've had many just out right refuse to take it. Or better yet, I don't have a huge amount of bags, I don't actually want your service of bag carrying (separate from the money thing), but you're insisting and now I'm in the corner on this one.

Massages or beauty therapies.. Fuck knows. Apparently yes. but if I'm tipping you for a fantastic massage service, what I'm I paying for strictly speaking?

YumCha places (Many servers) Hah... good luck working that one out.

There's more I've encountered in my time where I just didn't know and it wasn't readily apparent how/if it worked that way.

It isn't clear cut and definitely for foreigners coming in, its completely impenetrable whether you should or shouldn't.
I've lived here my entire life and I can tell you it's definitely not this simple. I can think of a dozen examples where it was ambiguous what to do: the first taxi I took, the guy who came to repair our washing machine when I was home alone as a kid, the guy upthread here claiming that 20% is the "widely-accepted minimum", someone else on this thread talking about how a waitress complained that he never tipped on his takeout orders (you're supposed to tip on takeout orders??). It's a fundamentally idiotic system and I don't have trouble understanding at all why people like GP would find it unpleasant as a traveler.

Yes, but the competition at the time was HTML (slowly getting interactive with time, and mostly ugly, but fast and dependable), and Flash -- and Flash was way faster, way more compact, and way more prevalent than Java.

So, Java wasn't ahead of its time, and it was much much worse than Flash (which, despite numerous efforts to kill it, is still alive, unlike Java Applets which have essentially been dead for years).

I've been using for Uber for almost...six years now? And Lyft since 2012 or '13 or something. I'll occasionally switch from one app to the other and there are definite waves in driver quality, pricing, routes (for pool/line). For the last several months in my local market Uber seems to have gotten a wave of new drivers, and they generally tend not to know what they're doing.
