Is Uber the real problem?

I mean, how is it that, in one of the richest countries in the world(1), in the more abundant period of human history, there are people that have to accept those conditions?

Yeah it scrolls off to the left. So you came an hour after my comment and it was gone. Heck it was almost gone by my second comment.
You are right that this is often the reality of things. Some systems also will just never be patched because the software running on them stops working if you do and the vendor cannot or will not provide an update that addresses this.

However, in such cases it becomes crucial to have e.g. proper network segmentation in place to help mitigate the risk.

Unfortunately, at this time, there are seldom perfect solutions when it comes to security and a patching scenario can only do so much. In this case, patches are available, but the day a ransomware starts using proper 0-day we'll see a different scenario play out.

It therefore remains important to also keep focus on the reduction of attack surface, and the reduction of software complexity, besides resolving individual technical vulnerabilities.
While I agree open source is the answer, linux as it stands isn't -- which we can see from the mess which is abandonded and un-upgradable Android phones. I'm not saying it's Linux's fault, but it certainly hasn't proved to be a magic solution either.
That's very true. Such attacks are predicated on an ignorant and/or lazy target demographic, I guess.

Incidentally, when I copied the link out of Chrome (57) it pasted the punycode link even though it showed "apple.com" in the omnibox. So then I carefully copy-pasted just the domain and TLD to work around Chrome's link-copying magic, submitted, and... discovered that Arc punycode-ifies Unicode domains.

So that was interesting, but it kind of killed the impact of the point I was making.
Free-at-point-of use process tend to be ones that require integration with a billing service, namely, to send information about the performed procedures to whatever system is paying for them, no matter if it's some state agency, private insurance, or whatever else - that's what I meant by non-medical companies that would need to be on the network.

A private practice where everything is paid by the patient in full by cash or CC could do without any integration with external systems (just run a standard cash register), but as soon as someone else is paying for it, you generally need to link the doctor's office systems to that in some way.

What about tipping in Sweden? Do you tip the couriers that deliver food to your home (and what would be an average tip)?
>>Everyone who tried to decide over which version of a distribution to run should know this

I have used Linux as my primary operating system for more than 15 years, I have been using Arch as my primary distribution for more than 5 years. I do not know this.

So which is it, I am fine if I want to run the newest, or if a do not need the newest? Your statement is a contradiction

No, not really... I install things all the time outside the Package manager, of course I know what I am doing so...

How so? App stores to not solve the Lockin problem the OP is talking about, if anything it makes it worse
Ok. Then it is not plugged to a network. Or uses a separate network
That's less than half a dollar per kilometre.

I kind of wonder if modern malware would even run on Windows 95/98/ME.
Upgrading from XP gives no benefits (for me), the PC would only work slower (and will get telemetry spyware). I wish Microsoft stopped developing new OS with useless (for me) features and instead fixed bugs in older systems.

The only good thing that was added in Windows 7 was a search field in start menu. And builtin firewall became able to filter outgoing connections. But it is not worth bothering with upgrading the system.
"The universal icon for "play", as in to play a movie, is a right facing arrow. It is not a visual analog of anything"

Of course it is.

The very reason it's called an "arrow" is because it is fundamentally a visual analog of a physical arrow, which moves linearly through space.

Note that the icon to go backward is an arrow pointing the other way.

Now, the stop button is more of an abstraction, to be sure.

"one that looks like a "+" and the other that looks like a "-"

+ and - are text, not icons. Written mathematics is a form of text.
And most economists agree with the grandfather comment..
Many of them are immigrants and are looking for a better future. I meet very few who can speak Swedish.

Only a massive supply of labour via immigration makes it possible to pay people $4/hr and have any takers.
That's some solid advice, but for some people, that's simply not an option.

If you can't find work elsewhere, you'd rather work for pennies than for nothing.

Yes, a floppy disk. The physical thing that you save data on. More correctly, the physical thing that you used to save data on when the icon was created.

In cities that are not entirely built around cars (i.e. most European cities) you are much faster on a bicycle, esp. when you know the area.

Last but not least, esp in dense traffic: With a good bike you can accelerate much faster than you can economically on a scooter.

The problem is people will prefer Uber Eats over competitors because they are able to deliver food for such a low price. The employees of Uber Eats are the ones paying for this not Uber.
Uber takes advantage of a lack of (or poor quality) social safety nets. Like Walmart. Its exploitative.
Great work! :)
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO DEVELOP a MOBILE APP
Alternatively, Microsoft should continue to support Windows XP as long as there are a large number of critical systems that rely on it. They are unable to upgrade because it would break a lot of legacy software. I believe Windows XP should have been supported for at least 50 years, considering how many people still depend on it. IMO, Microsoft has acted irresponsibly, and the decision was only driven by money. Sure, 2001 was a long time ago, but so what? What's wrong with a PC that runs the same OS for 100 years? Sometimes things work fine just the way they are. For all intents and purposes, most machines running Windows XP are fast enough. Office workers aren't running some insane virtual reality system, they're responding to emails and entering data into some Visual Basic application.

I understand that newer versions of Windows do have stronger security, so it is better if people can upgrade to a more secure version of Windows. But it would have been better if those security features were somehow back-ported. But seriously, can the current version of Windows please be considered "finished"? Why not spend the next 50 years just maintaining Windows 10, just the way it is? Imagine if they devoted all of their resources to finding and fixing all of the possible security issues until it's virtually bulletproof, and the price of a zero-day gets to a billion dollars. I think it's a shame that Microsoft constantly releases unnecessary upgrades and tried to get people to keep buying new licenses.
While there is a bug filed in glibc against this behavior, after reading the thread in that bug tracker I absolutely agree with the developers there that this is not a bug in glibc... it is at best a feature request.
I'd like to see the set of sysadmins that belong to both the group that is running a distro from 2001 and are willing to manually update the kernel on those systems to a later one.

Yes, the Linux kernel being what it is makes for good/great backwards compatibility.

But that's so far from the point it's not even funny. This is about update policies and internet security at the organisations involved.
Iran has a market for kidneys, actually. And it's the only country in the world without a long queue for donations.
In this case the guy drove 25 km/shift for Uber Eats and 37 km/shift for Foodora.

My ebike with a Bosch drive unit and a 400 Wh battery gets me a range of about 35-40 km on the maximum assist mode ("Turbo").

Also, the batteries are easily swappable. Just place some chargers with extra batteries in a few of the restaurants...
Microsoft Announced the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update
Uber doesn't make that clear up front though. I imagine new drivers do the math a few times before figuring it out.

This is sweden; a country with a fine social safety net and no significant unemployment issues.

I have no idea if capitalism will self-regulate, but I'm not sure this is indicative either way.

The problem here appears to be that Uber is just plain lying about how much you actually earn. As the article seems to indicate, this results in the delivery crew calling it quits after a month.

I assume, if you had told uber eats 'employees' what's actually going to happen _before_ they go in for the interview, they wouldn't even go for it. Journalism like this will spread the word. More to the point, uber eats is one of the first such companies, so presumably people looking for a job in Sweden simply do not even consider they can be swindled out of a fair wage like this.

A few more uber eats and presumably word gets out and people will go online and do a little bit of research prior to taking these jobs. Between the vast numbers who won't even go for the interview and the fact that the few that do tend to wash out after a month, uber eats will soon find themselves with no drivers at all. At which point they have to pack up shop and probably end the adventure in the red (it does cost money to set up, advertise, etc), or start marketing that they NOW _DO_ pay a nice wage.

TL;DR: Uber is a shitty company that lies, but Swedes still need to learn they have to check what they're told for such freelance-based jobs, which is why they can currently get away with the scam.
It doesn't, but you do have to do a manual check and remember to do that.
It sounds (from the article) that Uber is "flexible" about immigration rules.
A minimum wage forbids companies from hiring workers..

What you are arguing for is a welfare state.

As an example, modern Germany had a long tradition of welfare state combined with no minimum wage.

It's complicated. There's a fixed amount of design overhead in supporting all the various x86 modes but compared to designing a top-end processor those aren't too big. And being able to decode 4 x86 instruction at once is hard compared to doing that with ARM but compared to the size of a 192 entry reorder buffer for deep out of order execution the cost isn't huge. Both x86 and ARM want to convert their ISA operations to a different format for use internally. ARM's is closer to their ISA instructions but it's not clear that that makes a big difference. The biggest issue in practice at the high end might memory ordering constraints with x86 being very tight and ARM being very loose. But I can't actually say for sure.

But this is probably why Intel's efforts to extend x86 down to lower power processors haven't been huge successes.
If you deliver with a scooter you get a little more for every delivery and can access more delivery zones, but you pay for gas.
In the article he implies that Uber Eats has a poor retention rate compared to the local competitor.

Regarding why people apply in the first place. Uber is basically a household name around the world, so they can attract a lot of applicants. There's also little insight into the working conditions and comparisons to competitors. And the sales pitch is very misleading; you're told you receive weekly payments and how much you can expect based on weekly hours, except they don't mention you're quoted a monthly figure unless you clarify.
You make it sound like this is a bug that someone should have fixed, but this is documented and even sensible behavior: doing something different is at best a feature request. The question is whether there is an implementation that they would accept and integrate. If not (and maybe that's the case, as Debian apparently has such a patch and they don't like the concept), I "agree" that they shouof close the issue as "not a bug" or "won't fix" or somethiby.
Windows has had exploits where preview features (eg Explorer thumbnails) were running malicious code.
The VC dimension of neural networks is at least O(E), if not O(E^2) or worse. E is the number of edge parameters. With billion parameter networks trained on billion item datasets, there is no theoretical reason why deep learning should generalize. This means deep learning is just memorizing the training data. Evidence of this is the ease with which deep learning models are fooled.

We need to side step the need for wage regulation by giving the employees the ability to negotiate wages. This can be done with a universal basic income. We should also reform the tax systems to ensure that the tax plus social security system is smoothly and monotonically progressive to avoid the problem that increasing your gross income can reduce your net income as often happens in the UK.
Ha thanks. I searched for "energy" to make sure I hadn't missed it, but forgot to check for "power" :-D
What I've read in the German newspapers suggests they're not really any better than Deliveroo. I still use them sometimes, but tip generously.
Coincidentally, you will find that most libertarians also seem to end up on one side of the power dynamic when this actually plays out in the real world...

Electric bike might help you go faster, though. And charging those is cheap.

(But the extra speed might not matter in start-stop traffic of cities.)
> Windows 8.1 Update is supported until 2023 AFAIK.

Talking about 8, not 8.1

> Purely out of interest what kind of hardware is incompatible between the two versions?

Many drivers tend to break as windows goes through changes. When I tried a preview of the windows 10 creators update I had a driver stop working right. There were also serious nVidia problems that broke the old driver versions; imagine that happening with your typical company that stops providing drivers after a year.

Though the driver comment wasn't specifically about 8. Good luck upgrading XP to not-XP, even if your hardware can perform better than a modern Surface.
Note that Chebyshev polynomials have an intimate relationship to trigonometric functions:

cos(n x) can be expressed as a polynomial of cos(x), namely T_n(cos(x)). In other words, T_n(x) = cos(n acos(x)).
Only for the short term. Once enough people have died, prices will reach a new equilibrium.

And you can't keep everybody alive. Population will grow exponentially until something bounds it. The ultimate bound is the amount of resources we can extract per person.

There's going to have to be competition for resources, and those who lose out will die. We may as well get used to that now.
I wonder if that would be legal by Swedish law. Probably not.
But is that the fault of Uber (or Walmart)? Isn't them having a crap job better than no job? Yea it's not awesome that the pay is low, but at least they are employing some people. If the pay was higher they probably couldn't​ create the same service at a sustainable price point?
Some source patches include significant elements of what they apply to.

Some don't.
The problem is, in remote job there are still other people, but they are in remote time zones and your bandwidth to them is frustratingly limited (most communications occur via chat, sometimes a hangout). It does not make the communication less important though - for example, some code nazi on your team will post lots of remarks to your patches in code review and now, instead of going to him and explaining your perspective, you need to painstakingly type it into boxes on Github... My experience was that the review process with such people (when done remotely) takes at least as many calendar days as the work itself. Granted, it's not all useless pedantism - they often want me to rewrite the code so that it's more similar to the rest of the codebase (we were doing Scala+Play, where you often have many ways to approach a problem) - but it would be so much less painful to go over it in person.
You mean this?

"If a consideration in employing someone at the ticket counter is that they have well-founded opinions or suggestions to offer on films, then, by way of their expert status, you've cause to believe them."

I'm disregarding it because it's observably not true.

People are employed at theatre ticket offices because they are teens who are willing to work nights and weekends for minimum wage, not because they're film experts.

Expecting a ticket booth employee to be Roger Ebert is about as reasonable as expecting a Radio Shack employee to be a qualified electrical engineer.

Just for the record,

'sentir' is related with outer. You use it to explain that you perceive something that is out of you (like in I feel the wind)

'sentirse' (and other form verbs that fit in "something-something" + se) is related with inner. You use it to explain something about you (i.e your mood). Perceive something inside the limits of your body (like in I feel ill). Is not an exact rule (I feel pain uses sentir for example) but is useful.
Thanks for answering that!

So it looks like those higher paying jobs are not actually available for a large part of the Uber Eats workforce? How would those people benefit from being forbidden from working (= minimum wage)?
> Cuba, North Korea, Australia and Russia all have populations well over 10 million but are entirely dependent on trade to obtain advanced technology such as computers, aircraft, container ships, engines, cars, and so on.

Sorry, but it's hard to take this author seriously when he thinks Russia doesn't manufacture "advanced technologies" such as "aircraft, container ships, engines, cars".

Are you referring to a previous article that says Uber Eats is just to juice up Uber's revenue numbers for their investors?

I recall that Uber ride-share accounting doesn't use top line as revenue (only the cut), but for Uber Eats, they are allowed to use the whole order as revenue.
Several things the article does not mention:

- Some workers are pressured to rent a scooter or an e-bike. Having bike carriers is cool, but they prefer faster and long ranges. They rent from companies that have a deal with the parent company. This makes it even more difficult to earn a profit.

- On some countries, you must register as self-employed or freelance. Taxes and you also pay for social security.

- This highlights something interesting. These companies have a pool of riders at zero risk

- The part about few orders really depends on the city and the part of the day you work. Busiest hours can give you a solid 7 - 10 deliveries on a 3 hour period.
Not sure what country your from but here is Aussie we have many price floors in place for basic goods. Phone and internet being one of those goods.

Price floors on many products are considered here in order to maintain certain industries. Not to mention import taxes which also set price floors in a way.
Equally bad experience trying to read articles on vice. Scrolling is terrible, jarring, slow, find myself in the middle of a newly loaded article without realising.
