I have to assume the money men in the business know what they're doing, at least in the short term, but it seems like many of the moves they made to cut costs reduced or eliminated their core competency as a business.

When I pick up a copy of the NYT I want to see hard news, not "lifestyle" crap about the hot new cocktails in New York bars or a piece weighing the advantages of a sous-vide machine. That kind of stuff I can get in more detail for free from blogs.
Right Lyft already do this but there is no pressure because you don't have to tip right away. You get off and think about it.

I was a Lyft driver for one summer. Also Lyft supposely paid more.

Uber never encourage tipping and they didn't care about their driver at all. Their CEO was on the record for this.

I chose Lyft because they were more friendly and they didn't treat their worker like dirt.

I wouldn't ride an Uber or work for uber unless I really really have to. Most of the time I use Lyft for rides.

It's a crap managed company, threat their female co worker like Donald's locker room talk.

They threat their worker like crap. They did some really unfair things against Lyft. Including massive call on Lyft rides and then canceling it. They spy on their rival Lyft drivers. And they tried to steal Google's autonomous car tech.

They got greedy with their expansion too.
I swear, philosophy is just throwing arbitrary labels on things without truly testing them. What the fuck is a "substance"
Remember that sinister is the Latin word for left-handed..

Historically, the left side, and subsequently left-handedness, was considered negative in many cultures. The Latin word sinistra originally meant "left" but took on meanings of "evil" or "unlucky" by the Classical Latin era, and this double meaning survives in European derivatives of Latin, and in the English word "sinister".

Meanings gradually developed from use of these terms in the ancient languages. In many modern European languages, including English, the word for the direction "right" also means "correct" or "proper", and also stands for authority and justice. In most Slavic languages the root prav is used in words carrying meanings of correctness or justice.

Wikipedia also has a fun article here:

I remember trying to do this on a 286 and it would take the better part of a day to do an EGA quality image. A friend at the time had a 386 and it seemed blazing fast, it would take only a few hours to do a 640x480 VGA image.

Many, many people have a very different amount of time spent doing each that what you imagine. There's a lot of scripting code that is written once and then never maintained.
Interesting. I'm a member of a Broad Institute lab that recently evaluated Julia. We reached the conclusion that Julia, while promising, lacked the flexibility and performance of our existing tools. I suppose this is a problem that investment could address!

The Julia core is MIT and thus not an issue. The issue with making a bigger GPL-free package is in libraries and dependencies (which I assume are either turned off, swapped out for non-GPL versions or have dual-license deals of their own for the gpl-free package)

Back in the day, the one-click patent was claimed to be defensive, too.

These decisions tend to be opportunistic. Or maybe a holder honestly convinces themselves that this particular offensive use is really a "defensive" move.

I give these sorts of declarations the same value I give crime-law proposals where someone pushing it declares that it would never be used in that way.

I came across this video trying to understand what are quantum computers about... After all, Feynman himself said: "If you think you understand quantum mechanics then you don't understand quantum mechanics." and "If you cannot build it, you do not understand it."

I wonder if anyone could link to something that makes the stuff clear.

"If your productivity warrants $10/hr but the minimum wage is $15/hr, you're simply unemployed"

That assumes that your productivity is absolute and not relative. And productivity is always relative. In other words, what makes a company viable is the cost structure of its competitors. If competitors are local than a minimum wage rise has little effect on employment. If competitors are international than a local minimum wage rise has a major effect.

The vast majority of minimum wage jobs in the States are in service industries with local competitors.
Self-driving cars don't really need to talk to "the cloud" much, if at all. They need some map data, and they might contribute to map data. They can use some traffic data, and can contribute to traffic data, which needs about as much data as Waze. None of this is real-time; it can be seconds or minutes behind.

Transmitting all the car's imagery to servers is an R&D activity. Google downloads all that from their vehicles to train their machine learning systems, but training is an offline process. Production vehicles might occasionally upload "interesting" imagery they didn't recognize, or data from situations where there was trouble, but there's no need to upload it all.
> People go with 3rd parties nowadays for the slick web interface

No, they go with 3rd parties nowadays because most home users don't have bandwidth to host their own images.

One of the current top posts on reddit/r/funny has had over 1 million views after being posted to imgur 8 hours ago. The image file is 1.7 megabytes. That means imgur has transferred 1.7 TERAbytes in 8 hours of just that one image. That's an average of about 59 megabytes PER SECOND of bandwidth, or nearly half a gigabit per second.

Less than 1% of home users have that kind of bandwidth, and that's only to host a single image.

If you REALLY think "Oh, people only use image hosts because of the interface", you're not living in reality.
I work for Duo Security, which this year launched the first major commercial implementation of BeyondCorp as a part of our product offering. Using it to jump on to the wiki, for diff reviews, and other internal resources has been excellent.

In addition to simple primary and second factor, you can design policies for MDM-controlled devices only (i.e. designing endpoints that are trusted for remote access), geolocation, and software versions on a per-application basis, for example.

I think save for a few use cases (SSH into your datacenter, e.g.), VPNs will be dead before we know it.
It's a neat concept and useful especially for heavy internet users.

Tipping culture needs to die. It's gross and unfair to put the burden of payment on the customer. It does not improve service, only lets business owners skate by with paying their employees like dirt.

Restaurant workers, drivers, doormen, valets, whatever - they are doing real work and should paid as such. If they have a bad attitude then they should be fired. It should be not up to the customer to 'reward' good behavior.

Uber was already dead in my eyes. I don't love that Lyft even has a tipping option, but at least it's optional. Why not cut the salaries of the execs (who, as it's been proven, are worse than useless) and compensate the workers better?

Uh... don't you have to rate the driver?

You don't have to tip the driver in the car dude.

You can just step out go home and rate and leave tip or not.

I was a lyft driver. You don't even need to tip cause I made a decent amount during the hours I work for. It's a nice gesture but I didn't care.

If you work around club hours and I forgot what they call it, in demand time, you're making decent money.

> Decide what to tip the cab

>___> dude it have preset option of 10% or something on there. Just click no.

You can do it outside of the car too jeez.
Very true... the "ditch your VPN" sure is a nice soundbite, but in reality it's the last thing you should be doing. I mean that literally... as in it's the last step. Better know what you're doing before getting there.

The first couple BeyondCorp papers talk a lot about how Google deployed this architecture side-by-side their traditional LAN, and slowly migrated applications over, only after closely inspecting and understanding the traffic.

But the real point they make is that Internet != safe = very much worry about security.
It is not clear from article, there no word published, " All scientific papers should be freely available by 2020" and "The means are still somewhat vague but the determination to reach the goal of having all scientific articles freely accessible by 2020 is welcome,"

I can decrypt it a little bit :it would be great if European leaders cared about access to articles, but there are other possibilities for example this burocratique organization need some more finances or of we consider that magazines should be recompensed so financial group controlling some publisher is lobbing it in order to make more money, in your opinion does it make sense?
Why wouldn't they have the authority to do this? They were delegated their authority by Congress with the Communications Act.

You can take issue with the fact that Congress is even allowed to delegate their authority, but given that, their rules seem to be no less law than what is passed by Congress.

No, the most revolutionary thing is the freedom from police harassment it will lead to. Self driving cars will obey all local traffic laws to reach certification and deny the police a power the abuse which is the right to use a traffic stop pretextually. As in, stop you for speeding or running a light to regardless if that was his real intent.

See https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/201... for a better explanation than I can ever make. Think about it, the abuse that can happen to minorities and poorer elements of society will be much more difficult to execute. Even stealing from people under forfeiture laws will be much more difficult if the officer cannot find a valid reason to stop you for his otherwise invalid purpose

Older fathers correlate with an increased risk of autism.

Seems etymologically plausible at the least. Left-handedness used to be frowned upon up to the point of children being forced to write with their right hands in school (often under physical threat of a ruler or reed slapped across your left hand if you did dare to use it). Glad that was over when I grew up in the eighties.

Even today some people react with surprise when they see me writing with my left hand. We're a sizeable minority (of ten percent) — it's far from rare — but amongst older generations it sometimes just comes across as weird (I'm in my thirties myself).
Julia frustrates me. I was in a mathematical modelling sphere, so I learned the language basics years ago and immediately fell in love (multiple dispatch, optional types, broadcasting, ...). But I couldn't get approvals at work to push it, because it was immature. Then a month later, all my code broke. I rewrote it using new APIs. It broke again. I know they reserved the right to make breaking changes up until 1.0, but they are hindering adoption because of all this. Sorry, guys, but I'll have to stick to Python, Go and (sigh) Fortran.

That being said, I applaud getting good funding for a project that's actually more than beyond MVP, it has happy users/customers and it serves a purpose. That's not all that common these days. Good luck, guys.
Full-time remote work? If you're going to reach an agreement on where you will live and work it's better to do it as early in the process as possible. I'd say WELL before onboarding and interview. Like conversation #1 with the recruiter/internal contact. It's about mutual understanding and respect, and making sure your physical position would provide value.

The smaller the team, the better, but it's 100% on you to explain when there are 70,000 counter-examples in play. Same would go for discussing why a certain regional office (like Seattle) would maybe work vs. Mountain View. You have to be where you will give your best work to your self and team. I got really tired of flying back and forth and holding meetings being the one remote person out of ~12-20 got really ridiculous, so a move was inevitable for me.
All is not necessary for statistical correlations.
>complexity theory wiki

Wait, there's a wiki on complexity theory? Computational complexity or the complex systems kind?

I don't find the term as obscure as a I find it offensive: it just sounds wrong. But yeah, there are plenty of terms like that in any field, whether they be obscure or just irksome.
Yes, it's quite cool. The specification is a literate Julia program and the specification document is built from it. Simultaneously, they run large scale simulations to make sure that the specification behaves as the theory says it should. There was some discussion with them about deployment, and they funded us for a proof of concept Julia-to-C compiler, but the continuation of that discussion is probably still a number of years off. It's a very long term project.
Thank you. As I can see it was a great experience for you. Your pitch is very clear : )
Sounded like it may have been drawn from a good piece of satire critical of something like PC/free speech or climate change or some controversial thing. I was imagining a funny characterization of a crowd berating some perceived antisocial individual who doesn't truly hate the world but just won't conform to ideas he does not agree with or is not convinced by whatever they may be. Either way works as great quote for a dissenting opiner to play.
I was pointing out the repeated use of "guy" by the parent. It implies that only men work at the BigCo.
Certainly the use of guy is cultural, but it derives from a male dominated work culture.

From your statement is a great parallel to Uber, which ignores local laws and has never made a profit. Yet, Uber is thought of by many as a successful company. Many times companies grow in order to continue to be able to grow.
At the American Federation of Labor's 1913 convention, organizers proposed that all states should pass laws that barred white women from working or patronizing Chinese or Japanese restaurants for both moral and economic reasons, Chin says. (A similar law had been enacted in Saskatchewan, Canada, and upheld by Canada's Supreme Court.)

States including Montana, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Washington and Oregon saw versions of the bill, which were ultimately unsuccessful. In Massachusetts, for example, the state Supreme Judicial Court struck down the law on the grounds that it was discriminatory.

Anyone have a source on the part in parentheses? It's hard for me to imagine Canada being more backwards than the US.
That's fair enough. My actual main issue with this is that TS was hostile towards any external JS libraries, especially before 1.8, but still sporadically in 1.8+, and that affected polyfills too. I also had serious issues importing external libraries that provided their own polyfills.

It was sort of a catch-22 that it didn't like JS yet expected JS polyfills. This has been greatly improved but it took far too long for a project that purports to be a part of the JS ecosystem, which raises questions and I must admit, makes me cynical about whether this was a business tactic.

I've now written many replies with elaborations and clarifications of my criticisms, so it may seem like I'm excessively negative about TS. I actually really like the language itself, especially the static type checking, which is the one main selling point. The OO language features are great because they're optional. I just think everything around the language is rough, and if you're unlucky with it, it can ruin the whole experience.

I remember that at one point, people would declare `require` and use `import whatever = require('whatever')` for npm libraries. This thing was for the longest time absolutely hostile towards JS, and some remnants of that philosophy remain to this day.

I have not forgotten being told to write what amounts to C header files, for JavaScript, in order to allow TSC to play nice with the ecosystem! That was definitely hubris.

On first glance his offer seems reasonable. He seems to believe in the potential of your technology as he's happy with

Your decision basically boils down to time. How many people are on your team already? If you spent time doing the BD yourself, what would the opportunity cost be? Could your time be spent better on the product or tech? Do you see him bringing value proportional to his cost? (x% equity)

In the real world, VPN are mostly used to download copyrighted material. They have a pretty much perfect track record in that regard. Running a cloud VPS, on the other hand, is no more secure than your ISP: they have records, and will share them when ordered to do so.
Sounds like a less shady version of Freenet.
Websites like Imgur are able to detect whether the browser is requesting the image as a part of an <img> tag or a separate document by sniffing the Accept header.

So when a direct Imgur image link is opened in its own tab, Imgur can redirect to a webpage if it feels like it.
In Firefox, by changing about:config value "image.http.accept" to

it's possible to avoid this behavior and it will load exactly what you asked for.

I never quite understood why do browsers let a webserver know the context you're loading the requested resource in, for privacy's sake.

I'd pay for a VPN with integrated tracker / ad blocking. I currently have a low cost VPS with a VPN where I set the hosts with a couple of block lists, but I think it could be good to have a proper VPN service with that option.

The reason is using it on mobile unlocked devices, rather than desktop.
I'm not sure I understand the argument you're making here. A VPN offers you direct access to all the servers within your internal network. The BeyondCorp model offers you proxied access to only particular applications that have been opened up based on a wide variety of checks on the user and device accessing the application.

How is the latter going to be less secure than opening up your entire LAN to everyone who needs to access a single resource?
