How on earth do you get to that conclusion? I get that uber is a toxic environment but it's not because they go to an escort bar and they don't go to an escort bar because the environment is toxic.

Plenty of people do that and they work in great companies. They mostly do it because they are men and some men like to do that.

It sounds more like the a priori acceptance of some feminist branding of sex for money as turning women into objects to be paid for.

Everyone who takes money to do something for others are assets for them. That's why they pay the money. Whether thats working in an escort bar or working 100 hours a week in a startup, the only difference is that one job is paid much much better.
My understanding of why this is all so tricky.. the Constitution specially gives only the federal govetnment the right to regulate interstate commerce. So Michigan could not force the records from Amazon, the federal government would need to.
This guy drank the 2014 sharing economy Kool Aid.

The end-result of these services is that we'll be renting from Uber/whatever, not the other way around.
They probably feel like they are doing it the hard way, because their shortcuts keep backfiring.

Publicly: "We've built a truly innovate/revolutionary/life changing app/product/technology."

Privately: "Product XYZ isn't really innovative/revolutionary/going to change the world. It's just a mundane bit of tech, that might be slightly useful to someone. And of course it's ridiculously oversold and overhyped."

You said it! Political hit piece. Full of glaring, what ifs.
It is far better than it has any right to be, considering the work they have to do in the background to get it to live happily in NTFS. It still has a way to go, but you can get real work done.

My Linux-of-choice remains Ubuntu on a VM on my Surface, but having the subsystem installed as well is nice. If they keep at it, I can see ditching the VM in a few more revs. X doesn't officially work yet, although you can hack around and get it kinda-sorta going.
The real stopper is the unix-like environment. With MacOS you have (or used to have) a very good UI environment, but could just open a terminal and have all the unix goodness.

I know windows have a terminal too, but apart from being black, they are completely different. PowerShell was promising but cannot (IMHO) replace the old fashioned Bourne Again Shell.

All this makes sad, because my MBP is quite old and the prospect of having to deal with windows again just makes me cry.

I maintain positivity because it's not vaporware, just in feature hell. There's no silver bullet for that, just metric crap-tonnes of lead bullets, as they say.

And expectations are everything. I had endless hours of fun with Privateer as a kid, and had a blast with Freelancer when I was older. That covers a large chunk of my life, so my patience is tempered, a bit. Eve fills the niche while I wait, and I'm very excited to see my old memories come back in HD in a new universe. What's another 5 years out of 25? (And I'm serious - I had fun with Privateer, and in retrospect it was kinda terrible! Pushing past the uncanny valley of VR sim is effort worth waiting for!)

Honestly? Expectations are screwy. Eve has a sophisticated character creation system, and it's essentially to take a 200x200 pixel picture. Just fantastic, and almost as useless. But it really makes the game feel bigger and more real. Eve's taken more than 15 years to get to where it is, and that's sort of where I hold my standard. Time ain't the barrier to me.

It's notable that they are there of their own free will.
How come? Is that illegal?
The NYTimes has some of the world's best journalists writing fantastic original content that can't be found anywhere else. People will, and do, subscribe to that.

Medium is just another place for people too lazy to setup a blog to post their crap. Most of the content stinks and is just self-promoting vanity posting. People won't pay for that. They could throw some ads up there and make a few bucks but again that's how a 5 person company (which Medium should be) is viable and makes people some money... not the bloated entity they are now.
Could you give examples of this. Of the slave revolts I can remember in recent history none of them wanted to replace their masters. They just wanted out.

But pondering further. If you have a successful revolt what do you believe the punishment for the perpetrators should be. Would death be a just punishment? What if the empowered slaves offered enslavement of their former masters as an alternative?

If you have to "port" your code from one C++ compiler to a new C++ compiler, then they are not both true C++ compilers per standards, or your code is not pure standard C++.
Why is that? Because you have heard bad things about Bannon? What bad things have you heard that make you believe that? Facts, not opinions.
The argument should be whether autonomous cars from Uber can drive better than humans.

Because if the answer is yes we should get the dangerous technology off the roads ASAP -- namely humans.

It's a good question whether society is ready to accept this, though.
A 2D library is important, back in the day all C++ compilers on home computers had one.

The goal is not to replace SDL, rather provide a portable way of doing basic 2D graphics.

The C culture of leaving the libraries to the OS was one of the reasons why C++ got a chaos of interoperability issues, letting other languages that understood how that is relevant to gain mindshare in the late 90's.

C++ needs its batteries.
You're making an assumption that they want any of that. They don't. There's no money in those ideas you just talked about.

Also, doing what publishing houses used to do but a bit better, and helping failing newspapers host their content are opposite of "disruptive". Those are obvious ideas that someone from that industry would just come up with if they wanted to make a few bucks.

I'm being harsh to make a point that anyone can criticize about someone else's idea easily, but it's a completely different story if you're actually working on it.
It's funny how the author attributes this to 'capitalism', where as the worst offender I've ever seen was Soviet Union. In the turmoil that followed the liberation of Russia in the 90s, many and many people lost their jobs - but mostly these were exactly the bullshit jobs that author talked about, while new jobs being created by the capitalist system were driven by direct demand from the society.

It never ceases to amaze me, how american leftists continue to ignore the soviet legacy as a learning opportunity.

I'm a 10,000 BC chieftain. My village of Hutsville is within raiding distance of the northern village of Teepeetown. Teepeetown just a my neighbor of mine. I've never really liked or disliked Teepeetown, as I don't really know them. But I am sure thinking about them now. I'm going to raid Teepeetown before they raid my Hutsville. Whether I like raiding or not, if I don't do the raiding, I'm gonna get raided. Civilization is too hard right now, and someone bigger and stronger than myself will have to figure out how to make that happen.

Fast forward to 500-ish BC. My city state of Rome is within raiding distance of...

I've read a lot of the same slowing entrepreneurship statistics. Ben Casselman[0] over at FiveThirtyEight has written some good pieces about it.

It seems to be directly linked to personal debt. Most individuals are more risk averse because they have to work to pay off their debts. New college graduates are a great example: they have huge college loans, so a chunk of the potential entrepreneurs have to take jobs instead of starting a business.

I'd call that a big negative externality to the accessibility of loans for higher education. If it was me, I'd rather have a few more blue collar entrepreneurs and a few less white collar employees who'd rather be running their own business.

Comparing modern combat sports to slavery and animal torture is ludicrous.

The contestants are there of their own free will and the sports are actually pretty safe.

You might as well claim that all physical sports are in the same camp as slavery, because its physical competition and people get hurt sometimes.
I agree with you, but there's also another level that I saw mentioned here, namely that, back then, nobody seemed to mind it. Today, at least some people do.

No, they're not. You show ads to everyone who doesn't pay. Simple.

>We already have things like taxis, Uber and Lyft and people still get drunk and drive under the influence of alcohol and kill people.

Many reasons for that, from being cheap (I already own a car, I won't pay some random guy money!) to mere convenience. But such incidences are bound to get fewer once self-driving cars make up the majority of cars on the road and can take over from drunk drivers.

>The target for self driving cars is ride services not individuals.

In the short-term for Uber maybe, but not in the long-term for everybody else. I doubt that traditional car manufacturers, like BMW, Audi, Honda, Jaguar or Mercedes-Benz are pursuing self driving cars merely to offer ride sharing services, after all these companies are in the business of selling cars to individuals.

To be clear, this is not an argument that the 'hand on wheel' rule should be dropped for existing systems. It is an argument that the 'hand on wheel' rule should not be used as a justification for allowing the general public to operate semi-autonomous vehicles.
It lets a lot of pretentious, self-absorbed people pretend they're being published in some high end magazine.
Your definition of illusion still begs the question, either by assuming a subject or assuming a reduction to further experience is needed. Like I said, illusion only requires that perception differ from truth.

> Any attempt to eliminate qualia or self or intentionality, etc. as being fundamental realities runs into the problem that all these things are more fundamental to my understanding than any proposed alternative.

1. Perception is fundamental to understanding. Whether experience is fundamental is very questionable.

2. Being fundamental doesn't entail something is irreducible. Being in a car is fundamental to driving on a road, that doesn't entail cars are irreducible.
I'd rather have the power spread out, than have it all in one country.
I agree that there are a lot of bullshit jobs but I would note that these bullshit jobs tend to be concentrated in protected industries. For instance, finance has a lot of bullshit jobs and I personally know many people who work at banks and their sole responsibility is to create inconsequential reports and spreadsheets. Every once in a while there will be a round of layoffs to trim the workforce but overall these jobs persist. The incentive on managers is to hire people and build their team to exert more power and justify higher title/salary. There is little shareholder power to trim the workforce of these bullshit jobs and political pressure to not lay people off. Competition is not really an issue due to the existing regulatory barriers to entry.

Take an industry that is more competitive such as restaurants in a large city. The manager there would never hire someone for a bullshit job. In fact, that manager often performs menial tasks that are normally above his pay-grade.

Of course there are transaction costs to anything. It's a lot easier to hire/fire a busboy than an office employee. This keeps some employees around in bullshit jobs to serve as a flexible workforce. But I still believe that this does not account for the majority of bullshit jobs in these protected industries.
I can't find any details of the accident. Every headline is the same - Uber self-driving vehicle involved in Arizona crash. You read the article - and no details whatsoever. So why bother reporting it? The news isn't that the accident happen, but why it happened.
What I'd love though is an option to manage tabs by filter.

- Enter `hackern` (or ny or something similar) to filter the list down to hacker news tabs.

- Click Close Selected (you could also do "move to new window").

I've had very mixed results with videogames on kickstarter. One took hundreds of thousands of dollars and used it on an unrelated game then went belly up. One is looking great and produced an awesome beta, but it's been years beyond the target date.

Board games are a totally different story. Kickstarter started the the golden age of board games. Some of the best board games ever made come from there. They're almost always successful projects (not always good games, but they deliver at least). And that's not counting all the cool tabletop stuff like wyrmwood accessories.

So now I only back board games. And I'm super happy with what I'm getting.
My favorite is "all-night pizza deliverymen". It's not pointless. They have this work because someone buy pizza at odd times.

If someday in the future drone delivery is allowed, and it's cheaper to use drones than humans, then they will get unemployed an no one in the evil elite will drop a tear.

[It's more complicated, because the delivery guy sometimes help with the other activities in the pizza shop while not driving, like cleaning or moving the sacks of flour. So the dismissal will not be immediate.]

I don't trust Uber, but I trust statistics.

If Uber is statistically safer without human drivers, then pushing it out 10 months early with bugs could save lives.

Humans aren't predisposed to trust science over their gut though.
Wouldn't self-driving cars available to all mean they're out of luck and lost the the advantage they were hoping to exclusively obtain?

It would be easy for locally owned competitors / taxi companies to be competitive with the added bonus of tayloring the service to suit the clients.

Why would you assume Uber would have exclusive rights to use people's vehicles, IMO it will just start price wars to the bottom right ?

Why would stop others from building booking software and leasing it ?

How do you ensure the third party vehicles are clean and up to standard etc?

Sorry, but I don't see it.

"Why deal with these issues when there are great Windows 10 options from many vendors?"

Because the Win10 environment is pretty shoddy, in general. And it's not a secret, so your question is surprising.

The OP talks about random bits and pieces of non-functional software and hardware, and all I could think of was Win10 on a "nice" laptop. It's pretty regularly an awful, hair-pulling experience, on any average day.
My uncle loved to give people his card. Just like any business man from the time, he would reach into his pocket during a lengthy conversation, saying "here, let me give you my card."

Out would come this plain white business card, with 2 words printed: "My Card".

He would perform this satire with the most grace and seriousness he could muster.

If this is a bug, it's a bug in the array cloning logic. It's easy to publish a reference to an incomplete data structure without a memory barrier before the assignment that publishes it - though x86/x64 platforms will save you by retiring writes in order [1]. You don't need to use the JDK to replicate this logic; you could write this code yourself. If it crashes the JVM, it's probably a violation of memory safety - it's not inconceivable that there's an exploit here, but at the very least it's a DoS vector for untrusted bytecode.

[1] See https://bartoszmilewski.com/2008/11/05/who-ordered-memory-fe... for a readable discussion about what x86/x64 does and doesn't do.

Personally I don't need all night pizza delivery because I'm working too much, it's because I'll be having fun with friends until 4am and we tend to get hungry.
This article seems to take the position that the worst possible explanation is the correct one.
A solid 3,000-word article with enough CSS to make the page look nice will fit comfortably in 20-30KB gzipped. A Raspberry Pi could handle on the order of tens of requests per second (tens of thousands per hour).

A fluffy 500-word Medium-style article with 1-2MB of JavaScript serving no apparent purpose and 5-10MB of animated GIFs would be another story.
Medium is a playground for social justice warriors, shitty wannabe motivational speakers, and most importantly, people who just want attention to profit from.

It's good that nowadays there's a social network for anything, that's the beauty of the Internet and I have no problem with that, but haha why would I PAY to read that? It's like paying people to come in front of my house and protest all day every day.
Math notation isn't inherently bad. Even in this example, it could be justified. If it was accompanied by any sort of explanation of what it meant.

No matter how familiar with the notation, it's always going to be less clear and take time to unravel it. "OK, I see the author is multiplying a bunch of numbers together? Why are they doing this? [Reads over it 10 more times]... Oh... it's to tell if it's even or odd. Why on Earth couldn't they just say that.."

And literally every use of notation in this paper is like that. I was incredibly fortunate they decided to stop at some point, and just say they then draw a line with those parameters. They could have kept going and defined a procedure for drawing lines. I would not be remotely surprised.

I believe it's entirely about signalling. Math notation looks professional and academic. Just like describing yourself as "we". There's also something called the illusion of transparency. It's a bias where people believe they are much more understandable than they actually are. Like if you explain an idea to someone, you will expect them to have a much higher chance of understanding it then they actually do. I believe people that write papers are incredibly guilty of that.

And every freaking academic paper is like this. So many papers pointlessly give exact equations for a neural network. Instead of just saying "and we created a 3 layer neural net with a softmax output trained withstochastic gradient descent." But figuring out that's what the equations describe is going to take 15 minutes and lots of confusion.

Really, imagine a programmer that explained his ideas entirely in code without any comments. With one letter, undescriptive variable names. Who used as much premature optimization as possible to obscure it further. I doubt such a post would make it to the top of HN. But this crap regularly does.

You have a lot more flexibility in general with desktop OSs, especially when you consider VMs and the like. And even with Windows it's not that straightforward. A couple of weeks ago I spent some time getting old games and mods running on a new Windows 10 system. It involved a lot of patches and otherwise fiddling around--and these were popular games with a large community still involved with them.
