Maiming one's self in woodworking only happens through incredible stupidity or carelessness. If you keep focused on what you're doing and make sure that you're following basic safety rules, you'll probably be fine. Accidents do happen of course, but as with programming, there are safeguards that can prevent them (for instance, the guards and backstops on a table saw prevent your work piece from getting rocketed back into your torso).
There seem to be various definitions around. Even though a Psychology professor is cited, already at the beginning self-esteem and self-confidence are treated similarly. I really like the following definition of self-esteem: the feeling of (a) being in control of your basic needs and (b) deserving to feel good. This also solves the paradox stated, it just means that you should maintain a certain self-worth.

If your self-worth is too low, you may be used by other people. If it's over the top, you may act arrogant. So yeah...

Self-confidence is more like the

Not quite what the article talks about, but Accelerationism in communist/anarchist thought is the notion that you either permit capitalism to go off the rails without hindering it or even encourage it actively. The goal is to "show it for what it really is" and make things so unpalatable that a worker uprising is inevitable (or at least more likely).

So in that view, an accelerationist could be a socialist who opposes things like minimum wage, universal health care, privacy rights legislation, etc.
2 - 6 hours a week but that's going to go up as I turn it into a real business. Eventually I will quit my full time job but for some amount of time it will be like having two jobs.

I pretty much make my wife mad at me every Saturday by locking myself in the office while she watches our daughter.

But I hope that if I can make something of it then it will help my daughter and our family long term more than my current job can.

I also try to dedicate at least as much time (usually double) bonding with my daughter (she is a year and a half). They are only this young once.
The Soviet union had almost entirely state owned enterprises, so it's an exceedingly poor example to point to as a counter to worker owner corporations. Lenin did open up for some private enterprise with New Economic Policy from ca. 1920, after the end of the civil war, but Stalin promptly reversed those reforms and tightened the noose much tighter right after Lenins death.

Indeed - to take their conclusions to an extreme, they seem to be saying women's rejected pull requests are due to bias, whereas men's rejected pull requests are indicative of competence (or lack of it), and that women's accepted pull requests are due to competence, whereas men's accepted pull requests are due to bias. Definitely seems to be attempting to make the facts fit the argument rather than the other way round.
Super helpful, especially the "social relevance" limitation. Thanks!
It's not really the same thing as saying as "an American". America is much more homogeneous than Europe.

Even though US states have laws that differ they operate using same legal system, culturally they are very similar and the majority of people speak english.

This is not the case within the European Union, for example German and Italian law uses a different legal system to Ireland. Their is no common European language and culturally their are massive differences from place to place.

I've had awful taxi experiences in many European countries (Italy, France, Belgium to name a few) in the years before Uber. Maybe I'm missing something, could you provide some examples of European countries where getting a taxi was a pleasant experience prior to Uber?
I think that we need religion here.

No, I don't mean this corrupted book-cult that religion has become. I mean real religion. The kind where we have an expert who goes and sees gods, heavens, afterlife stuff etc using special technology like mushrooms and meditation; and then tells us about it, and helps us deal with it.

We could really use that so we can handle death better.

I was wondering if you could expand on this. It seems like a comment someone would make if they are either entirely unfamiliar with accelerationism, or if they have a deep understanding of it - I'm curious if you fall into either of those camps :)

The reason I say that is that Land claims to be utterly opposed to communism - his favorite suggestion is that communists should be dropped out of helicopters into the ocean (cf Pinochet).

On the other hand, I'm not entirely convinced that he's not a "deep cover" agent of socialism/communism - after all, that's where his sympathies initially were before his "conversion". For example it's possible he thinks accelerationism is the path to the predicted end-stage or utopia version of communism - a classless society with free access to the articles of consumption.
This is how totalitarianism looks. Don't try to brush it aside, hand wave it away or become an apologist.

People have been horrified by stories of the secret police in infamous regimes ruffling through people's diaries to find out what they wrote. You can't express moral disgust at that and live with this.

This is the exact same thing. No one has any business with your phone or your personal life.

I posted this before, but it's worth repeating:

I knew a guy who worked at one of the national labs that had its own Cray supercomputer, in a computer room with a big observation window that visitors could admire it through.

Just before a tour group came by, he hid inside the Cray, and waited for them to arrive. Then he casually strolled out from the Cray, pulling up the zipper of his jeans, with a relieved expression on his face.
I have a lot more personal data points (anecdotes) with taxis than with Uber, so that's not really a fair comparison.

But, some of my recent experiences with taxi have been (both in New York):

- Asking at the airport for a Taxi where we could pay with card, since we had no cash. Finding out at the hotel that the driver had it disconnected and refusing to put it on since "it wasn't working". It ended up with him driving me to an ATM to get cash to pay him.

- Going from the center to LaGuardia, checking the route on Google Maps it's clear that the driving is taking us for a ride. When confronted he asks us cheekily if we are from around there (no, but we can read a map).

Note that both occurrences cannot possibly happen with Uber (since you are given the fee at the start and payment is transparent).

It's possible I'll have bad experiences with Uber/Lyft, but no, I wouldn't go back to a world without it, I wish they would be given fair legal status, and made to follow these laws like other services.

I work in London, so Uber is not really much use to me. I live on the outskirts of London (technically London but a few miles out and TfL cease to exist. It's bordering on rural) and the local cab companies/public transport work just fine for everything I need. I grew up in a not small, but not giant town and Uber is no more useful or cost efficient than the local taxis (public transport os horrible though).

So sure. If Uber vanish tomorrow it'll make zero impact on my life beyond not having that particular train crash to watch in the media. In fact, I'd prefer Uber die unless they start being lawful/stop being asshats and stop this crappy "but the rules are in our waaaaay!" attitude.
There's something poetic about watching the play unfold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-pxMm_UdY4

You can learn a few things from this play that I think would help you in life. First is planning for the unexpected and knowing how to respond in a situation where you're about to panic. Given the context of the situation you win almost 100% of the time if you just fall down and do nothing after securing the ball. Great players recognize how to maximize their odds of winning, this rings true in many facets of life.

Second the whole sequence of events is simply incredibly funny, and this quote gives an answer to what everyone would ask after witnessing the play. "What was that guy thinking?"

> You realize that it's literally impossible to become profitable if they don't have self driving cars, right?

I think the burden of proof is significantly on your side for this claim.

I'm confused as to why you think that partnering with a car company won't work.

I mean, if your statement is true then Uber is worth zero if you believe they won't be able to manufacture their own self driving car, and I don't see anyone credible who believes they will. All the analysts I see point to htem partnering with someone, which is what I suggested:)

I don't know about where you live, but where I live (London) the black cabs face competition from dozens of minicab companies everywhere, and most of them have apps, and there are aggregatd services. The only thing the black cabs have a monopoly on is picking up people off the street without a booking or from taxi stands; but given that in most cities here a minicab company is a few minutes walk away, and usually having one come to you will take minutes, I use minicabs more often than I use black cabs.

That said, the service I get from black taxis is routinely better.

As for other incentives: They get dictated improvements and failing to make the required changes will cost them their license.
I wonder how well the learned policy generalizes to other environments. Places like an art gallery, outside, or a cave. Could the network have learned something fundamental about monocular vision?

It would also be interesting to see if the learned policy corrects for perturbations. If we tilt the drone by hitting it, will the policy stabilize it again?

While this is a really cool result, I suspect that this approach might not be the best way to control UAVs. Dragon flies are ready to fly, avoid obstacles, perch on stuff, hunt down prey right after warming up their wings for the first time. This implies that a good amount of the flight behavior is 'hard-coded.'

Although I really can't wait until someone expands upon this approach. So instead of outputting left or right, the network could output 'stick vectors,' which translate to control stick commands. Maybe even have the network take in some sensor data and a 'move in this direction' vector. Add in a pinch of sufficiently fast video processing and we could probably learn how to do fly through an FPV course or do aggressive maneuvers to fly through someone's windows[0]

In terms of the prior commenters assertion about source protection, that was not a factor as the source alerted various of the original parties directly that their material was in public view (as we mention in the story).

In terms of the (admittedly) small volume of original documents we published, all I feel comfortable saying at this point is that we were interested in publishing more, but there were significant legal concerns.
Why would they not use a general purpose classifier [1] instead ?

Sure, the tagging of objects in the field of view in this model may be unnecessary but you leverage an existing model that should allow the drone to 'think' beyond the current limited "obstruction here". It could at-least have been used as a base model to build upon.

This title is misleading. It is still up to the client to decide.

This is a win for all parties involved. Less time wasted for clients and freelancers when an applicant isn't a fit for the needs of the position.

> Quote:

> Here’s how it’ll work:

> New clients who prefer the flexibility of hiring freelancers in any location will have the option to set their hiring preference accordingly, and it will work for them just like it does today.

> New clients who prefer to hire within their country will have the option of setting their freelancer search and job post visibility to freelancers in the U.S. only, with the ability to refine their search further by time zone or state. And, only freelancers with a U.S. location in their profile settings (verified by bank account or other means) will see these job posts and be able to submit proposals. Keep in mind if a client changes their mind or chooses to invite a freelancer outside of the U.S., they can do so at any time.

This sort of selection was already happening on the platform but as a manual process by the person hiring. UpWork just added support to prevent non-US users from applying to jobs specified as US only.

It's really too bad the specifics of the machine weren't shared. I'm not speaking from a national security perspective, where it should be mentioned that other nations most likely already obtained this information, but rather from an academic perspective.

I think you can ask about the team's demographics and diversity, not from the viewpoint of color or gender, but rather from the sense of "How does the team ensure that all viewpoints are included?"

I've spoken with plenty of women who look at a team of mostly/all men and wonder why they see no other women. Sometimes it's just because "That's who applied for these jobs" (which is fine) but it can also be a sign that the environment is not good for a woman's career. How do you find out which it is, when you're interviewing at the company?

(And you could say the same for other diversity categories. I just pick on the gender issue because I'm a techie grrrrl myself.)

A fair point about the homogeneity, though existence of EU slowly improves things here.

> could you provide some examples of European countries where getting a taxi was a pleasant experience prior to Uber?

Probably everywhere. The problem is still lack of consistency.

Just look at this whole thread. I never had a bad experience with taxis in Poland, pre- or post-Uber - but I have a friend who had, and he hates taxi companies because of it. 'yoodenvranx doesn't like taxis in Germany, but 'burgreblast presumably doesn't mind. 'user15672 and 'phillc73 are ok with taxis in London, but hating on London taxis is so common I don't even need to look for examples.

So taxis in Europe aren't uniformly bad or uniformly good; they seem to be a mixed bag, with a lot depending on city, company or even the driver you get. Something that definitely could be improved, but then again, people report bad rides with Uber too, and all of that doesn't free Uber from the requirement of following local laws.
