‘Is There a Man I Can Talk To?’: Stories of Sexism in the Workplace
It practically eliminates the opportunity-cost of leaving. Having seven years to be able to come up with the liquidity to pay the strike/taxes -- plus, critically, being able to wait several years to get a better understanding of whether the options have value before striking -- completely changes the calculus of whether to depart a company, whether because you're unhappy or because you've found something better elsewhere.

Agree this is good for Uber employees and I'm happy they have significantly less of an impediment to leaving than most other workers at pre-exit startups.

What is the state of languages for programming quantum computers?

I noticed you seem to be using assembly at the moment. Are there higher-level languages out there at the moment, or are those still a ways off?
All the different reports that Clubhouse uses to visualize productivity
Precisely. And then he was brought back, and in retrospect, many of his skills the second time around (charisma, design instinct, product focus) were the same that he had brought to Apple originally, but in the meantime, he had learned to temper his worst personal flaws (largely by learning to trust and listen to a small group of people who could counteract them).
I don't quite understand the last one. Can you explain?
The problem with monadic parsers is that they are too powerful. If you have two options

string "foo" <|> string "for"

It would be nice to automatically rewrite this as

string "fo" >> (char 'o' <|> char 'r')

But if we try to analyze monadic parsers like that we run into the halting problem.

Applicative parsers are less powerful so we can left factor them automatically. There were some attempts to combine applicative and monadic parsers which resulted in arrow syntax but that kind of feels like the worst of both worlds for many cases.
At least this part of the system makes sense. There is a two-step process: pleading and merits. The first stage is a filter for the second. At the pleading stage, there is a trade-off between getting the right answer and the expense to businesses of defending litigation. The pleading standard (the level of facts you have to allege to get to the merits) is a knob you can turn to trade-off between those two things. If you make the pleading standard liberal, as it is in the U.S., you'll get the right answer more often because you'll actually delve into the emails, witnesses interviews, etc. to see if the defendant actually did do what the plaintiff says he did. If you make the pleading standard more stringent, you reduce the expense of litigation for companies, but you also deny more meritorious claims. E.g. companies that discriminate don't exactly advertise that fact. If you require a high standard of proof to simply bring the claim (as distinguished from proving liability), then most people who have actually been discriminated against will not be able to recover.
Hi Noloblo,

Please drop me an email on rume.gbenedio@yahoo.com. I have a few ideas.

I honestly don't know how mixed ancestry and the difficulty of producing actuary tables actually affects whether a system can function. Statistically, over a population of that size, it is a wash and the worse that can happen, is that there would be a procentual change in the overall cost. Furthermore, the French have had a mixed populace for many decades [1] and their system still works (though it is different than that of the Czech Republic and Germany).

The Czech Republic places 33rd by life expectancy, behind the US by just half a year [2], so if the health care in Czechia is on the level of a 3rd world country than so is the US'.

Just for comparison os/2 v2.1 requires 386sx 4mb ram and 20-40mb disk space according to the box.
I agree with you about the complexity of a mvp. It indeed may vary. However a mvp is about testing an hypothesis, not building a simple version of a product.

Maybe an mvp for a complex product is just a landing page explaining features with a buy button, built in under 2 hours using optimizely.

Again, it depends on the hypothesis. So, in this way, I differ with you when you say getting out a mvp asap doesn't make sense. Because validating you hypothesis is what you want to make as fast as possible. But then, launching as fast as possible doesn't imply necessarily launching fast.

Why should the bar be any higher than the median actual human driver?

Adding vehicles operating at a higher skill level than the median to the pool of vehicles driving around should reduce incidents per mile driven.

And then if autonomous vehicles become prevalent, it becomes less punitive to raise the standards for licensing humans.
I've never heard of conglomerates being broken up, as long as they didn't have too much share of any single market.

Amazon may end up like Uber: forcing competitors to upgrade their technology, but not succeeding in stamping the competitors out entirely.
It's not mutation if it occurs before anyone can ever reference it. Then it's called construction.

Even languages with labeled effects allow for this sort of construction effect. If they can properly sequence and isolate it, they allow mutation as well!
Emotions aside, it's hard to deny facts:

"Walmart employs an astounding 2.1 million people. In the United States alone, the company employs 1.4 million people. This is a staggering 1% of the U.S.'s 140 million working population."
> That Wal-Mart is powerful enough to dictate the internal business practice and tech decisions of it's vendor.

Wal-Mart is pretty infamous for squeezing suppliers & vendors on price and operating procedures. Hard.
yes me too. Maybe too far ahead for most people. But the concept is unbelievable good.
> For somebody like me, and probably a lot of HN readers, its _actually_ a fairly low risk proposition because qualified, experienced software engineers are so sought after. Whatever you are doing, you will always be able to pick up a $1000-$1500 a day gig when you need to bootstrap your actual project.

What on Earth are you talking about? If it were possible for most experienced software engineers to simply snap their fingers and get "gigs" like this, everyone would be doing it. Leaving full-time employment is extremely risky--that's why most people are not entrepreneurs. It's why financial advisors recommend you keep 3-6 months of expenses in an emergency fund, because it can take that long to find a new job should you find yourself in need of one.

"A lot of them are obviously fakes"

Amazon is even worse, because sometimes there's no way to tell if items is original or fake and end up getting fake for same price as original. On eBay you can mostly safely assume it's fake, so at least you get what you pay for.
How does stuff like this get to the front page?
I very much doubt that. Tech people love it as a nice invention with a libertarian twist. But what is the incentive for my grand-mother to use it over regular cash?
it doesn't mention the power struggle because this article is PART of the power struggle. The journalist who wrote the article is basing the story based on the people who they have interviewed (who are the ones who are struggling for power) as well as the continuing narrative surrounding Uber (which is the story the people struggling for power are trying to create)

you should read this very interesting (but simplified) exploration of power talk for a general idea of why this article was written the way that it is:

Congratulations, it will be nice to have D as well as part of a GCC default install.
It sounds like the parent poster is saying that "pro-competition legislation" would prevent a new company (funded by VCs) from competing with an entrenched industry (taxis).

I think the confusion stems from saying pro-competition legislation will prevent competition.

So your business depends on me not uninstalling your app by a single click of a button, while you don't even offer anything unique?

And you have crazy valuation which is threatened by your company's culture?

Ah, the modern times!
On a Google-approved device, you can still use that device, and copy content to another, non-Google-approved device. Nothing is perfect, but at some point you trust your employees.
They have re-implemented entire network stack above IP layer. They start from raw IP (protocol 99), and then added "AES, SHA, RSA, and elliptic curve".

So you cannot use TCP/UDP/TLS/QUIC -- they are too insecure; instead let's have a bunch of code designed by unknown people, likely with not professional crypto experience, and not verified by anyone.

Riight....
Does this mean D-via-GCC will be supported on more platforms going forward than what is supported today?
I don't think Uber's valuation is based on autonomous cars. That would be a really stupid bet for investors.

Autonomous cars are a side bet. A few hundred millions in R&D that would also attract good talent and nice PR for Uber.

But I don't think investors were stupid enough to invest billions into Uber based on that bet. Specially considering the fact that anyone who gets that technology first can make it big and Google had a few years of head start.
I work in retailtech and this feeling is very common across retailers. Everyone feels like amazon is their biggest competitor and they don't want any of their money going (even indirectly) to amazon. Especially when the technology in question is supposed to help them compete better against amazon.

The various object-capability projects alive right now, like Tahoe-LAFS, Monte, Cap'n Proto, Sandstorm, and Genode, are all very much future technology. Imagine:

* No more confused deputies

* Fine-grained trust
"do you seriously believe that they are going to maintain the same level of control to limit pollution when making those bikes?"

I believe that the level of profit they make has no impact on the level of control to limit pollution. Their actions in regard to pollution will be driven by whatever (dis)incentives are put in place by government regulations.

"that is assuming the manufacturer is willing to give up _ALL_ profit to battle pollution caused during production"

That is assuming that the profit figure doesn't already reflect any costs for 'battling pollution'.

"let's focus on those mobike/ofo pollution outside the station"

You're using the word 'pollution' in a different sense than I was, and in a wider sense than the common usage. I was talking about air quality, and I guess you knew that. You're talking about space taken up on the pavement, a very different problem.
Personally I prefer a simple feedback system that kicks out bad drivers to confrontation and a need to call 911. Not to mention that there's quite a gap between good service and service that complied with the law. If a driver is rude, swears at me, drives dangerously, what can I do about that? Spend part of my day calling a hackney division that probably doesn't care?

A rating system is actually superior to getting the government involved.
Fair point. But it looks like the scope on that one is pretty limited:

> There are several issues in the extract_x509_extension() function in ssl_verify_openssl.c. This function is called if the user has used the ‘x509-username-field’ directive in their configuration.

That option, per [1], appears to exist in order to support odd TLS certificates that don't use the CN field as an identifier, and is also behind a configure #define that appears not to be enabled by default. So that, if I'm reading this right, is a pretty narrow attack surface in general - not inconsiderable, to be sure, but something of a corner case.

> to the US absolutely destroying EU

Of the Fortune Global 500, the US has 134, the EU single market has 110, and China 103. So ... good luck with that?
Yes! I will probably quit my pretty well-paid job at the end of the year to (slow) travel and work on some SaaS ideas. Basically the worst case is that I have to call it quits and get a another job (if I'm unlucky with less pay). So if you don't have a huge family and/or literally no savings the risk is super low.
My guess is that is also why. gcc wants to be assured there are sufficient maintainers. If a crew has been maintaining out-tree-support with a good track record, that demonstrates maintainability.
I don't agree. As a buyer I have never had a problem they did not settle to my satisfaction. I did make sure in each case to have my facts in order. I tend to buy mostly antiques, glass and china, and have had three bad purchases which were fraudulent in some manner. This out of nearly three hundred purchases.

I also purchase consumer items like batteries, dog toys, beef jerky, a DJI drone, and whatnot off the site.

Now as a seller I have no clue, but I have no clue what it is like to sell on Amazon either. I do find ebay easier to navigate by leaps and bounds over Amazon. amazon fills my pages with more trash than I ever want to see.
I had the same in Madrid. Tried to get a taxi for 15 minutes. After that time I had already walked to the next taxi rank and got in the first taxi there. Mytaxi always showed cabs close by but wasn't successful. Wasn't even a busy day, the taxi rank was more than full.

As much as I don't like uber, surge pricing can be a really helpful feature that I would like to have with cabs as well.
You committed fallacy of seeing fallacy. While I committed fallacy of pointing out to fallacy of seeing fallacy.

It just seems kind of petty to me. One senses a bit of bitterness on the part of Wal*Mart over this decision.
In Czechia, where there is no co-pay, for a while, a co-pay of $1 was instated, not to help pay for services, but to "prevent seniors from comming just to chat".
I think Amazon just stopped its collaboration with Coinstar, as it wasn't an option at the grocery store (HEB) machine I used last month.

We (as a society) really need to be pushing more efficient water appliances.

I looked up liters to gallons since I'm backwards and - in case anyone else is too - 10 liters is ~2.5 gallons. I replaced three toilest in my home that were flushing ~4 gallons with each flush with ones that flush with 1.28 gallons now. They are much more powerful than the previous ones I had, and use (liter-wise) less than half of the 10-liter mark.

Do your efficient toilets overseas not get down to the 4-6 liter range per flush?

The switch to more efficient toilets really made a big impact on my water bill for barely a dent to the wallet.

To be profitable the prices would need to go up for more than 30% on average, because 30% only get's them to break even if you assume zero changes in ridership.

There are a few costs like background checks that may go down when they stop expanding, but fewer than you might think.

You have examples? Every startup I've been with has been many years to profitability and the common names follow that pattern as well.

Some get traction, or maybe growth early on, but actual startups don't seem to "make money in a short amount of time"
Agreed and much needed.
That's the point. Their technology costs are pennies per ride, revenues dollars per ride. They are only spewing cash trying to grow faster by buying more drivers in more countries. They could hire organically for much less.
Anyone know of a good article/series dealing with this? Tooling is fine and well, but I just got bumped to a lead role, with no one more experienced than me around, and could desperately use some more guidance.
I haven't been to a doctor for a "check-up" since I was a kid. Probably been nearly four decades now.

I think for growing kids it's probably a good thing -- if nothing else to be sure you're on schedule for various vaccines.

As an adult, I have regular dental care but I do not see an MD unless I am sick or injured. And "sick" does not include colds/sore throat -- there are good OTC meds for that.

For most people, if you feel "normal", aren't gaining or losing weight unexpectedly, don't tire more easily than normal, your blood pressure is OK, etc. your health is likely fine.

As a linguist, I have to refute some of the claims made in this article. The understanding for the past few decades is more in line with ABSL than represented. The only hold-outs are hard and fast supporters of Universal Grammar in the face of contradictory evidence. The only genetic factor commonly recognized as important to language development is merely the ability to learn language. Even recursion within language is in doubt due to the language Pirahã. For the most part, UG is held up by die-hard defenders of Chomsky, or is given as introductory education in Linguistics despite not being the widely held view.
