The Real Reason Uber's 'Tricks' Are Failing
Something similar happened to me with regular Facebook messages. Facebook, to combat spam, decided to introduce the concept of folders for messages. Besides the regular folder for messages from friends, there was ”Others“ into which all other messages were put.

The UI didn’t make it very prominent and I learned about the Others folder only when I read an article about how someone missed appointments for job applications, invitations and messages from acquaintances because Facebook sorted these messages into the Others folder. Back then this happened quietly, without notification of the user. I checked my Others folder and found years old messages. Insane. All the missed opportunities and trouble that was caused for millions of people because Facebook intervened in their communication.

I think Facebook now at least informs the user if they received a message from a non-friended person. Took them a long time.

The first plan is to get a 100% remote job in front-end development to save costs and time, and then use that to continue working on the side.

I've been working on the side to learn web development for the past year and a half, and I have only now been reaching out to job applications that I qualify for.

I at least want to pick up some higher paying part-time hours.

I plan on using the debt snowball to get out of debt faster and live within my means. If I follow that, the maximum time I will be in debt is 10 years, and that's with no income increase or extra income on the side.

I want to cut it down to 5 years or less.

What you're describing is Reverse Osmosis - pushing salt water through a water permeable, salt impermeable membrane. It requires very large pressures, on the order of 2-30 atmospheres of pressure. The membranes used are incredibly cheap, most of the cost of RO is the pumps and maintenance. IMO innovations on the membrane are pretty marginal to the cost of RO and are usually done for hype.
Yes millions lost their jobs, houses, and business. And yes it was a minor blip. If you think otherwise, you don't grasp how bad the Great Depression was. Think about 35% unemployment for years.

The majority of mainstream economists didn't see it coming. That's a totally valid criticism. But they did a much better job of handling it than in 1929, and the damage, while major, was still nothing like the Great Depression.

As per your comment that it could be indicative of his mental health, I would bet my bottom dollar that this is baseless speculation, with no basis in actual research of the behavioral patterns of the mentally ill.

In short, par for the TSA course: thrash blindly around in the dark, catching no one, inconveniencing everyone to remind us all of how important they are.
I’m pretty sure that whatever parent would come up with, I could shoot full of holes, yeah. Their statement was that some “opinions” (their scare quotes, not mine) are dangerous and should not be tolerated. This is far different than fighting words or other existing carve outs.

For example, antisemitism and homophobia are two concepts that the parent thinks should be banned. But that right away leads to contradictions. If I ask you a question, “Should orthodox rabbis marry gay couples?” your answer could be deemed as either antisemitic (“yes”), or homophobic(“no”). Your best bet is to stay silent on that question!

So, I do understand not wanting to allow directly threatening speech on a specific group. It’s just such a tricky thing to codify such a ban without inadvertently stifling freedom of thought and opinion. What you really do is hone the dog-whistling capabilities of those who would organize to commit violence.

the downside is it's in terms of "Credit". With dispute, it's as good as cash.

The difference between the two might be less than many would think.

Also with dispute, you are sending business a message: if they charge you for their mistakes (in scheduling), you'll look for disputing (which costs them around 25$/dispute, i believe?).

I'd question the 30-40 years figure. I suspect "it depends".

Check out the book "Skunk Works" sometime and marvel at what they managed to do on the frontiers with such small numbers of people and crappy computers (with relatively small budgets and tight deadlines to boot).

Peter Thiel riffs on this idea a lot. Despite our incredible advances in computing and networks, it seems like progress in everything else has slowed down. (Randomly found video with his basic stack of points: http://bigthink.com/embeds/video_idea/48434?width=512&height...)

Another example, consider how long it takes to build any skyscraper in the US. This isn't even new tech, it's well understood, but it still takes a long time from planning to legal stuff to the actual construction. And yet there's a guy in China who builds other kinds of skyscrapers at a rate of two floors per day. Slowness is not a fundamental thing.
This is why C++ (and maybe Rust, damn I need to learn Rust) will keep existing forever. If cloud deployments make sense, then optimizing by rewriting into C++ also makes a lot of sense, as it provides a continuous direct savings: your bill goes down by a directly quantifiable amount.

My value judgments are my own, yes. That's obvious (another value judgment). I'm not making any claim except that employees willingly submitting to having tracking devices implanted by their employer gives me the creeps. The potential for evil is just too great for me to want this to become mainstream.
For me it certainly isn't one person. These odd messages are coming from all over the English-speaking world.
I am a pilot, and we've had autonomous airplanes for decades. Even entry level Cessnas have auto-pilots. The auto-pilot is a great tool for reducing pilot workload and increasing safety, especially en route, but you are still expected to be the pilot in command, especially during a tricky maneuver like landing in a crosswind with not so good weather.

I think Ford, GM, etc are right in the long run. There are so many edge cases in driving a car (blown tire, hydroplaning, uncertain intention of an oncoming driver), I would not trust a fully driverless car. That said, there is a lot of room for innovation with automatic braking and collision avoidance that will reduce accident rates and severity, maybe dramatically.

Once most cars are networked and semi-autonomous, lots of things become possible. Example, cars that automatically observe speed limits (which can be dialed down during bad weather). No single measure like this will eliminate all accidents, but each will add to safety.

The problem with too much automation is people become dependent on it and lose skills. This was a critical factor in the Air France flight that stalled and crashed off the coast of Brazil. I'd rather see them focus on helping people be better drivers than taking humans completely out of the loop except on protected roadways.
If anyone's interested in trying Fedora I'd suggest checking out Korora, it bundles the Fedora base with nice themes and some essential packages/repositories that Fedora refuses to bundle based on their free software guidelines (like VLC) and some more sensible defaults (like Firefox as default browser instead of Epiphany).

Thank god it doesn't contain Redux, entirely optional and entirely complex.

Just recently someone was telling me about how hard ReactJs was to learn and from what I could glean, at least part of the learning challenge was because he felt he had to use Redux because many people perceive react and redux to go hand in hand.
This is much more than just money. If I understand correctly, we're talking about a felony here, so it's beyond just money. He could end up behind bars.
IOMMUs are important for external interfaces, but much less so for internal hardware. It's certainly possible that they're doing it here, but I wouldn't bet on it.

> This comment contains instructions on how to find the desired source of my original comment which was actually published and publicized in printed media.

Then why is it so hard to include it yourself? It's poor form to make statements from sources and omit those sources. Unless you typed that from memory, you had one of those sources handy when you made the comment, so you could have included it easily, rather than make every person that read it have to determine whether they believed it as even worth researching to see if it is real or something you made up.

> I don't understand the downvotes.

People aren't denying anything. Perhaps your attitude is the cause of the downvotes. Regardless of why you were originally downvoted, imagining it might be because they aren't acting in good faith or are incapable of assessing your comment on its merit isn't exactly a useful way to move forward.

It does, but it's also operating in a much more hostile environment. At least windows had regular updates though, that's not the case for most android phones.
This is a pretty interesting idea. I have never heard of debtors banding together to negotiate lower debts before.
Every day we're finding out about new details of crazy things this guy did. Everyone's focusing on the $120M, but can we talk about the fact that he was connected to two other startups while working at Google, never disclosed it, and later basically acquired both of those?
Receiving any sort of communications over wifi would require the radio to be powered on, and sucking down battery the whole time. There's no way Apple would have missed such an obvious way to extend battery life -- I'd be surprised if it's even powered on unless the phone is actively communicating on the wireless network.
Either way, profit. For those willing to accept risk, TSLA has been / is a great investment.

I think the author of that sentence agrees with you. It's saying you should think of a canary as something to do only after testing is complete, not as a means of testing.
On the other hand, I'd guess there's a "small" window of a couple of years for a real breakthrough+production outside of Tesla to affect them. Seeing the history of batteries and incremental improvements for the last 20? years, it'd be pretty rare for it to happen now.
Same here. I thought this was going to be an article about how the practice of Staging.

Economists are mostly to be considered historians and even as historians they have very little actual data about the things that make an economy.

This is most visible in the fact that they treat technology as an externality even though its probably the most important factor in understanding our current economy. These economists with their models still assume production as primarily an output of labour are advicing our politicians. Its going to be seen as an era of great ignorance to the factors that really matter to an economy today.

Sure, perhaps you could make a case for calling out the Android security team. GP didn't do that though, he called out Project Zero for not leaving Microsoft alone and instead fixing Android. I'm just saying, that isn't how things work.
Yes there are advantages. But a loss, too.

When I was young there was privacy. Believe it or not, you could start a new life somewhere else if you wished, and leave the old one behind, without any great effort. Move and get an unlisted number and you might as well have vanished from the face of the earth. Freedom as I knew it then required privacy, these were not concepts that could be separated.

I'm not sure what the West means by freedom now; since I'm no longer in a practical sense free to do so much that I was once free to do, without scrutiny. No doubt crime rates are down as a result; but reducing crime wasn't the purpose of freedom. Of course, it would take real effort to maintain privacy in a digital world. I think the time will come when we make that effort.
