Letting Go of the Wheel: 10 Steps to Trustworthy Automation
Using name (from window.name) should be an offense
The win 10 experience for me has been such a disappointment between the privacy concerns and the overall UI I'd much rather not bother. To each their own, though.
I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet, but no, we can't talk. We literally cannot have an adult conversation about this topic. Not, at least, in the US.

The ACA (Obamacare) tried to add a provision allowing Medicare to cover voluntary counseling on living wills, end of life care, etc., to encourage more seniors to get educated on the topic. Conservatives made up the blatant and absurd lie that the ACA would require seniors to "stand in front of death panels and convince them that they deserved healthcare." The lie stuck, and stuck hard. At one point polls showed that 30% of the public (and 47% of Republicans) believed the lie, and it persists to this day.
1) Varies per city and per country, but over the years in Uber threads I've seen enough people on HN from various parts of Europe who told wrote about their local systems to be convinced that pretty much every country in Europe has such a business. So I believe I can generalize safely over at least the whole EU.

2) Where I live - Kraków, Poland - we had iCar for years (they've expanded to several cities in the region now). Their app could use a facelift, true, but otherwise works fine, and in pre-app times, their phone dispatch worked well too.

I remember them first showing up when I was a teenager, 10 or so years ago. They had a conflict with regular taxi companies over their business model - a conflict which over the years got resolved in courts, and regulations were appropriately adjusted. I can point to that as an example of how to handle the issue in a civilized way.

There are also at least two companies that attempt to bridge different services in different cities under one app - Taxi.eu and myTaxi. They also work together with the regular taxi services (the evil "taxi mafias") too.
Maybe public transit only runs certain hours or that high quality taxi is too expensive. The billions of trips on Uber and similar platforms indicate that this is often the case.

If in fact there is "little actual need" for Uber, then nobody will use it. That's the beauty of allowing consumers the choice. It uncovers whether assumptions like this are actually true. It is like constantly running an experiment.
Slightly off topic but this may be the only time that it's semi relevant to get this onto HN:

Since everything and everyone is collecting user data, it would be fair to leave the starter/home/"cloud" editions as it is.

But damn, if I'm going to pay for my OS I want ZERO data collection and the option to never use stuff like Cortana (opt-in). And if that's too much to ask, why don't they release a more expensive Windows 10 Tinfoil Edition? You would still have to trust MS but at least you would have the legal right to dispute it (if they decide to do something shady).

You're taking risks to advance your own economic power by serving the interests of a system that is an aspect of the very thing that keeps you poor int he first place. Liberation is something that begins in the mind, not the pocketbook; economics is a useful theory but it's far from being a totalizing philosophy.

I've been trying this intro competition a while ago now, but I seem to remember that it was relatively easy to obtain a score of ~0.78 or ~0.79 with about 5 lines of Python or R (using your favorite lib/algo of course). That said, am I the only one thinking that the pursuit of a few extra % points over what seems like a "natural baseline" (which admittedly might translate into a few dozens of correctly classified people in this particular case) is a somewhat strange use of one's time and skills (if we don't take into account the data processing and programming skills one can gain in the process, I'll admit though). My point is that there seems to be nothing remotely "scientific" (or even insightful) to be gathered from such an exhaustive search process (which characterizes a lot of those data science competitions IMO), when you have squeezed to death all the possible ways in which you can transform a given dataset, in order to maximize a very precise metric. This to me appears like a degenerate form of statistical science, which doesn't have much to do with reality anymore.
I agree in part. The real trick of it here is that those former employees will also be wearing their own lenses of bias. There's a good chance they don't have full information on the company.

Then the challenge becomes a game of synthesizing contradicting perspectives. That's what makes this exercise of distilling causes into "bitesized pieces" so difficult.
I agree that it's all in the settings, but I also had to turn off Cortana making suggestions in 3 different spots.

You are applying binary "all or nothing" logic to the real world, which contains many more shades of grey.

It is true that technology (both social and digital) continues to progress, and that the genie can't be put back in the bottle once it escapes. However, you don't have to put it back in the bottle. Speed limits don't stop speeding, and laws against murder don't stop homicide. The legal and regulatory system exists not to fully prevent understand behavior, but rather to reduce it to a manageable level.

In short: I agree with one part of your premise. Technology will continue to evolve and will continue to challenge human society in this area. Unlike you, however, I don't believe that we have to roll over and accept the implications and consequences of unregulated privacy invasions, neuromarketing and whatnot.
I don't do keto but I do a similarly "limits social activities" sort of dieting.

I just don't follow a diet "strictly at all times". If you're (truly) following your diet 95% of the time and go out every-other Friday (or hell, even if it is every Friday) for a social dinner, 1 meal of 21 or 42 meals isn't going to completely ruin your dieting any more than forgetting to brush and floss after lunch on Thursdays is going to completely ruin your teeth.

If you go out for social dinners every single day it might be a problem - but that is pretty atypical.

I feel most people could benefit from "following a strict diet 95% of the time" over "not dieting at all because I like pizza during my weekly Saturday D&D nights".
As-is, I don't think it's a big deal. This is a slippery slope though. Look at what cable television has become. You pay for the product and they shove advertisements down your throat. Satellite radio is doing the same thing.
Robert Pirsig's recent death reminded me to read, much-belatedly, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. One of its central tenets is that the highest good, or highest Quality, in technology, results from an integrative approach where the worker doesn't separate from the work, but rather identifies with it and becomes one with it. (A prerequisite for this is an awareness of Quality that is largely precluded/prevented by the usual rational/analytic view of reality that we normally associate with technology, but anyway...)

So here you have Uber, which has always been in the business of ferrying people around, but tries hard to separate itself from the business of ferrying people around. "We're not a transportation company, we're an app." "They're not employees of Uber, they're contractors." "They're not taxis, it's ride-sharing." "Uber's not liable for this tax, the driver is." It's not us, we're not the ones, we're not doing it, we're not involved, we're not responsible. The ultimate schism between the doer and the act. They're not exactly rushing forward to integrate the whole system under a unifying banner of Quality, are they?

If anything they're the epitome of the rationalist/analytic view of reality complete with all its schisms, all of which results in the kind of drab ugliness (on the human end mostly) that makes people want to shoot themselves in the face. Ugliness (poor quality) papered over with cheap stylistic embellishments that make it "not just depressingly dull, [but] also phony."

I realize this doesn't fit everyone's use case, but wanted to offer an additional perspective.

Ah gotcha. He wasn't a medical student then, most likely a resident. Residents are doctors though, if they perform a service such as anesthesia or other procedure they will likely bill.

For example, an Anesthesia resident will perform all of the procedures and monitor the patient's vital signs and response to the general anesthetics or other drugs. The Attending physician only intermittently checks on the case if the resident needs help or the case becomes too complicated.

If the resident doesn't bill for services performed, such as central line, placement, peripheral line placement, intubation, arterial lines, etc. I'm not sure who would do the billing.
Blackbird combines both a law firm and intellectual property rights holder into a single entity. In doing so, they remove legal fees from their cost structure and can bring lawsuits of potentially dubious merit without having to bear any meaningful cost.

If there is a place where government regulation can do some good, this might be it. The combination of these two kinds of company represents a moral hazard. There is a precedent for this kind of regulation, which mandates the separation of certain kinds of companies:

EDIT:

increasingly in the world of software or tech patents, the trolls rely on the broadest possible interpretation of vague or generalized patents to sow as much uncertainty as possible.

I've run across people involved with patent law here and on reddit, and they seem to get triggered by laypeople ridiculing the vague and abstruse nature of patents. (Really, go and read some! Try searches for video on the Internet!) I find that also weird, in the same way that a lot of legal stuff is weird.

And about 70% of all patent infringement claims are filed by patent trolls, a share that has more than doubled in recent years. It is estimated that litigation initiated by patent trolls in U.S. courts cost companies as much as $30 billion in direct costs, a number that has increased more than four-fold over the last ten years.

Interesting statistic. If the preponderance of patent claims run counter to the original intent of the mechanism, then something is clearly wrong.

If true it makes them terrible investments, because their future income streams can't be estimated with any accuracy, so they cannot be valued.

But in reality it's not totally true. SnapChat and (probably) Instagram have huge installed bases, but haven't yet figured out how to monetize them. They aren't businesses or investments, they have no strategy other than just pure speculation.

But Uber provides a service connecting riders with drivers that costs pennies per ride to deliver and earns dollars per ride in revenues. If you know how much Uber is spending to build out markets, and on unneeded distractions like UberEats and self driving cars, you can estimate the value of their core business. Uber's strategy has never changed, they've just obfuscated it.

> That's the beauty of allowing consumers the choice. It uncovers whether assumptions like this are actually true. It is like constantly running an experiment.

From hundreds of years of running market economies in the world we already have a clear experimental result: consumers prefer cheaper goods/services to more expensive ones of equivalent quality.

If you can make your service cheaper by subsidizing it with VC money and then even more by ignoring regulation, then there's no surprise consumers will use it - even if long term, the service is unsustainable and socially destructive.

We're still extremely primitive as a species, by and large.

I managed to run it under cmder, and from there it all went nicely; installed fish and other stuff no issues.
I want Uber to operate within and respect the laws as a business policy and practice. While we all, I think, recognize that in many US cities the taxi and transit services were simply terrible, and many things need to be changed, we also need to demand that companies operate lawfully, barring grotesque violations of human rights entailed by the law.

I'm not German, and obviously not familiar with German law, but it sounds to me like this sentence is not itself enumerating any particular limits, but rather serving as a reminder of the kind of philosophy they want the law to obey: that property is not a fundamental and absolute right like the right to life (as it is in the Lockean conception which influenced British and American law), but rather a conditional one, whose precise definition should be tuned to whatever is best for society as a whole.

What I mean is, I think history has shown that the "best" definition of property (as in, which one has the best outcomes for society) is one that's "mostly private". Full Communism clearly doesn't work very well, but an absolutely inviolate right to private property carries all kinds of problems too, so instead most countries have settled on a flexible definition where there is private property with an enumerated set of restrictions and limitations (which a hardcore Lockean can't do, because to them property is absolute). The sentence in the constitution seems like a reminder of this when it comes time for a constitutional judge to evaluate a particular law, which I think is right - a constitution can't cover every possible situation, it should be a set of guidelines for entering unfamiliar territory.

That may be your experience, but it's not mine. I've been using Ubuntu since 2006 or so and I have never had to do the things you mentioned or had any issues. I don't even know how to mess with kernel modules or window managers.

My experience with Apple has been far from "Getting things done". Just to name a few issues:

* I had a screen saver (one of the stock ones) turned on and it would cause my fan to go crazy

* It still doesn't always sleep, I sometimes find it running low on battery in the morning because an application woke it up

* I have had to use the Apple store which requires a phone number, credit card, etc to just get XCode

* Maximize doesn't seem to always work

* I can't keep a window always on the top

* Changing the password for wifi sucks

* If I change my system password, for some reason I always get these annoying and constant popups saying that so-and-so wants access to something, which only works on the old password

* Copying and pasting does weird stuff, adds in a bunch of crap that I don't want often

* Updating my OS takes forever and does whatever it wants without giving me much insight into what is going on

* Unlocking my computer takes a long time
Didn't think of that this way. You make an interesting observation; I need to think more about it because I still feel like there might be big market failures in such a system. I'm worried about ways people could be coerced into dying "before their time".

Personally, I hope genetics will soon advance to the point the organs can be grown, thus rendering the whole issue moot.
I recently did a fresh install of creators update on my laptop. Not only does it have crapware bundled that I had to uninstall, it has placeholders for apps from store which is literally advertisement. I also got edge ads when I was downloading other browser. I preemptively disabled all other "suggestions", but saying that windows 10 doesn't have ads is a blatant lie.

If companies can't provide their service without flouting employment law they shouldn't exist. It might make my life a bit more inconvenient but I'd rather that than a lot of people getting exploited. Employment laws exist for a reason - to protect people.
