traviswingo,

That is my concern that there might be some traces left behind. I agree with anyone that will suggest a clean wipe but at this time I don't have that time allocated as my wife is in the middle of a few cases.

However, once I will get laptop for a longer duration, my goal is to do a complete wipe and re-install.

Thank you for your response.
Yeah this amazed me too. Usually gas and electric companies make a yearly estimate based on last year's use, then divide that by 12 months. If the estimate overshot, you get money back, otherwise you have to pay a little extra at the end of a 12 month cycle.

Reading Taxify's side of the story alone reveals significant bias, and even that seems to suggest that what happened is that Taxify bought an existing company for its minicab license - which is practically bound to be a problem.

Why couldn't they find a customer to sell their product to without acquiring that customer?

The problem wasn't the app - it was the company bypassing the licensing process.

Interestingly, their link suggesting that hundreds of private hire operators are in the process of being reviewed does not say what they think it says, and does not in fact contain any statistics for private hire operators being reviewed.
why are you name dropping?
"Same reason they get the same amount of police and firefighters for free as you do I would think."

Not a good argument, neither of those things are "free" because they are paid for by property taxes, which scale to many things, among them, the amount of land you possess.

(There is no such thing as "free" anyhow.)

Unfortunately, there's no law I'm aware of that's going to help you here - although there /possibly/ should be a law governing ownership of someone else's private data, that's not currently the case, as far as I know (IANAL). It's also not immediately obvious to me how you'd construct such a law without causing problems for many other areas of the financial system.

OMG! This is genius!, how have i never thought of this before!

I bet the people removing caps lock, scroll lock, insert etc are doing it because of the "cleaning ladies"! Not because they accidentally hit the keys.

But because in most offices, keyboards are swiped clean daily by cleaning crews and when you arrive each morning you find an assortment of those keys toggled on or off.

(I have even locked my Windows account on occasion due to not noticing a combination of Caps Lock / Num Lock toggled on/off in the morning)
Not real. It's a "concept."

I agree with the top comment. This is a VW puff piece. Ya know, the same company that just got into a metric shit ton of trouble for being environmentally irresponsible. Their motivations in publishing this are pretty paper thin when you think about it.

Damn it, i have had a prominent FOSS DE guy basically claim that users are idiots after studying the results of a usability test of their DE.

For me, in the trenches, it is more that users find their own ways of doing things. And if it works for them it works for them, and we have no business correcting them.

I can't read the article, but is 'more herbicides' referring to a larger quantity of the existing herbicides or a greater variety of herbicides? If it's the latter, the author's sentence is fine. If it's the former, I agree that the redundancy is unhelpful.

Also, you should not bracket parenthetical statements with dissimilar punctuation marks.
Traditional:
1. Progressively get better and better roles at similar size companies(or same company)
Possibly Faster:
2. Get better roles at smaller company get to CTO(probably much faster) and then move to bigger and bigger companies.

Modern Train Kits
I'm looking at building a model train. Most of the stuff out there is very old fashioned, with big heavy transformers and low tech - plus its expensive.

Ideally I'd like a standard electrified track, but a motorized carriage that can be controlled with a raspberry pi or similar. I figured it would be common but haven't found anything.

Anyone have any tips?
Greater direct visibility or cognisibility always helps make a point.

People are worth more. Look the amount of profits/employee that Google, Apple or Facebook have. GM, Kodak or any other "old" company needed an order of magnitude more employees.

Sure, with the demise of Communism, the capitalists appropriate this increase in productivity.

Can anyone here make the following calculation? How much would be the wage of a Google engineer proportionally to the profit generated by a GM engineer in the 50's.
Pioneering Online College Found Ineligible for Federal Aid by Ed Dept Audit
Still paid wall, you only get the abstract.
Uber is such a contentious topic that a decision like this is ipso facto political.

There are [1] competitors (especially black cabs)that have a very strong interest to lobby against uber. [2] There are pro labour politicans that see Uber as workaround for labour laws, and the vanguard of a wider threat to labour norms. [3] Now, there are feminists and work culture interested people reacting to all the accusations about Uber's internal cultural issues.

Those aren't the quoted resons for the decisions, but they are a relevant political context.

The cabs were the first (and obviously self interested) objectors and Uber got used to fighting them and their politcal influence. This seems to have lead them down a cultural path. An agressive, ask-forgiveness-not-permission culture. A embattled rightous self image. "All the accusations against us are self serving incumbent bullshit!"

"Transport for London and the mayor have caved in to a small number of people who want to restrict consumer choice."

Disprupting taxis is/was the goal, so that antagonism was inevitable. On-demand labour is the method. Without that, they couldn't have grown like they did. The stuff they lost their liscence over,... that was an unforced error.

"reporting serious criminal offences, obtaining medical certificates and driver background checks." - also greyball

There's no good reason for Uber to lose a big market over that. Complying would not have disrupted their operations one bit.
It is often faster and less painful to learn from other people's experience than your own.

This should be an "and", unfortunately many GPS receivers consider it an "or".

That's what I meant, yeah. Ramps in web audio params don't go from the current value to the target value, they're treated as starting from whatever the previously scheduled value was. In this case there wasn't a previously scheduled value, so I guess behavior was undefined and the browsers differed in how they handled it.

I would under normal circumstances, but if you're alone/in a place you don't know/drunk/woman/at 2am, or even all of those, that's a tough decision on whether it's safer to get in or stay out, and we're socially conditioned to not question these sorts of situations as much as we probably should.
> Some unions are so hawkish that

That hypothetical problem is anecdotal, and assumes that a job seeker has no say in how he is represented.

Meanwhile, the whole world is packed with examples of how unions do in fact work for the interests of their associates. For instance, there are companies in Sweden that inform job seekers right at the start of the job application process that they should contact union representatives to help them during the hiring process. This offer is presented to anyone, whether they pay union quotas or not, and anyone decides if they even want to contact the union or not.

Do you believe this is a draconian measure imposed by unions on unsuspecting job seekers, or that this is remotely against the best interest of any worker?

A union is what you make it out to be. Right now, workers are getting screwed over to the point where HN receives a constant scream of posts on how workers should improve their negotiation skills. Hell, if that's so important then why isn't everyone doing the smart thing to do and delegate that activity to a dedicated third-party representing the worker's best interests and specialized in negotiating job offers and working conditions? It's simply stupid to assume that everyone can pick up an O'Reilly-type book on negotiating job offers and suddenly be able to go head-to-head with a professional negotiator paid to drive down your wage.

I don't think this post is suggesting that all agriculture should take place in food forests. That's obviously not going to suit some species and would not be a balanced approach.

Folks definitely get yields of more than a snack or 2 out of food forests. Growing food from perennials in a multi-layered food forest is very efficient (minimum inputs), resilient (diverse layers designed to support each other, plants that are of age and established, healthy soil) and has many outputs (food, timber etc). Bill Mollison explains the birth of the idea here [0].

I am convinced that they are a key piece of the future if we are to feed the 9 billion people you speak of. I am also becoming convinced that industrial agriculture's tendency to plant vast amounts of monocultures does not have a place in that future.

Food forests are promoted through permaculture. The entirety of a permaculture farm wouldn't usually be dedicated to a forest like this. Grains have a place. So does meat.

There are plenty of permaculture farms out there producing meat, and it's not uncommon for this to take place in woodland. Within a forest you may find pigs and poultry[1]. As a part of a permaculture farm's systems there may be pastured cattle, poultry[2][3] and so on. Within this sphere you find farms like Mastodon Valley[4], where cattle are a key part of their regenerative agriculture. Then you have ponds designed for fish[5].

>> The price of migration may far outweigh the license savings.

definitely. The cost of work is big compared to licensing. Now, PG has a "cool factor" so I bet some people would migrate to it off hours just for fun :-)
I agree. I was just pontificating on the pluses and minuses of each direction. What would it have looked like if our banking system was allowed to collapse, short term and long term?
In its initial (Ubuntu) release it would crash your desktop any time Firefox loaded a page that included flash content, which was a lot of pages back then. You had to choose between totally disabling Flash (again, kind of a big deal at the time) and attempting to excise PulseAudio and get Alsa's sanity back.

I chose the third way of dropping Desktop Linux. I just don't have time for that kind of crap anymore.
Not every argument is supposed to be double-sided.

Mix-mashing all societies just get them to lowest common denominator. Similar societies usually receive similar outsiders. Sometimes even outsiders from same place. Which just makes them even more similar. For example, north Germany and Bavaria are quite different places and have different culture. Yet same set of immigrants come to both. Local food is different, but kebabs are the same.

If each society can choose who they want to accept and who they don't want... Then we can agree that each society can judge for itself.
Nestle is incapable of drying out the Mecosta County aquifer, which is part of a groundwater source that is apparently enormous on a scale that dwarfs human commercial enterprise.

That's not to say that Nestle's operations don't have local impact; apparently, large-scale pumping can disrupt nearby residential-scale wells, which is something Nestle got sued over. But Nestle isn't jeopardizing the actual aquifer or drying the area out.
People likely would use it. It's a HN account, not a bank account.
These guitar hero style alternative notations are a major problem IMO. It's extra problematic to advertise it as "learn music" when really it's giving you a crutch to avoid learning music.

Wages aren't growing because people don't ask for more money. It's not any more complicated than that.

Go to a store - there is a price on the product. That is not the real price. You can negotiate a different deal, but almost nobody does.

So you have a society of price takers, not price makers.

In that society, the people who set the price are people with the money - business owners/managers and they will set the price as low as they can get.

People need to ask for more money. Then they will get more money. It's not much more complicated than that at the core.
To be fair, the snippets' chosen dates are from 1870s onward. Historians fuzzily date the start of the industrial revolution at around 1750. So that's about 100 years of industrialization and modernity. No wonder the art of conversation was considered dying by that point: it has been under assault from modernity for generations.
Supermarkets weren't 1) being made directly available within the Soviet Bloc and 2) weren't being utilised for propaganda or censorship against Soviet and Communist dissidents.

The existence of the WWW is known. The existence of sites such as Medium or Snap are known. If those exist, but are blocked either by the Saudi regime, or with very clear "this content has been censored at the request of your government" then the abject political control is revealed.

Power often is most effective where it can act covertly. Forcing the hand, or even showing it, can weaken it.

>Can they detect relative movement on the order of 1cm or less?

The short answer is no, largely due to localised ionospheric conditions. The longer answer is yes, GNSS systems can be enhanced in accuracy using RTK [0][1]. This allows for precision on the order of 1cm, but requires a (rather expensive) fixed position base station to provide corrections. Surveyors, precision ag, and other large machine control (think dozers, graders, etc) have used this technique for precision positioning for the past decade or so.

I do recall reading that upcoming GPS satellites add a second civilian frequency, which I believe will enable these sort of ionospheric corrections to be done more easily and inexpensively.

I poked around with writing a Go interpreter a while back. There are a number of issues that make it practically infeasible. You can get some hacked-up stuff off of GitHub, but those hacked up things are pretty much the best you can do right now.

But as per my other thread in this thread, if the scientific community becomes big enough I wouldn't be surprised they fork Go entirely, at which point that opens up a lot more options.

I see. Benefits for the individual and costs for the collective is a recipe for a tragedy of the commons.

But antibiotics have some individual costs too. They are bad for your gut flora, and I think you can't drink alcohol while you are on antibiotics.

Maybe these individual costs should be raised. Perhaps via a special tax on antibiotics for people who don't have a positive test for a specific bacteria.
Due to Microsoft SQL Server licensing, I would be highly surprised if any Linux distribution were to make it available by default in their repositories.
Least squares, gradient descent and linear regression separately? I get that he wants to point out the profundity and universality of the ideas encompassed in those techniques (& models; least squares and gradient descent are rightly thought of as (numerical) techniques, whereas the linear regression models is a, well, model) but that is like saying that arithmetic is fundamental to deep learning. Essentially, this "history" only takes you to 1947 and Minsky.

Sure, there wasn't a lot he could do right then, but Uber could have:

- Acknowledged the situation.

- Agreed that it was not right.

- Committed to not using that vehicle until the issue was rectified (not that I'd necessarily trust them on this, but it would be good to say).

- Could have refunded me or given me credit for the risk.

I think in a perfect world, the driver would have stopped at the nearest safe place, attempted to fix the belt, and failing that another car would have been dispatched to pick us up and finish the journey, but I realise that's unlikely to happen in a service that cheap.
For the longest time I wanted something that generates an offline copy of top-X articles with their best comments. For the no-data/wifi train, plane, etc. Article would be a bonus, but I often check the discussion first :-)

The only offline offering on that list does it for articles, but not for comments. So, right axis, wrong direction for me.
Not the same thing. Minor nitpick is that senescence care is not the same thing as free healthcare and side income from 65 and up when the life expectancy is nearly 80 years.

Major nitpic would be that Westernized peoples are barely replacing themselves, we're around 2.9 workers per retiree and falling, and it takes around a third of the annual federal budget--which roughly corresponds to the amount of debt we take on each year--to cover it.

When you set up a system to transfer wealth from young to old, it stops working so well when people stop having kids. Japan is already being crushed by this. They will not be the last.
I hope you're right. I genuinely believe if Uber was to go away from London, it would be a step backwards. They are the modern taxi, and I would bet they are more fuel and time efficient than black cabs driving round London in the hope of someone flagging them down.
I use Monzo and Starling. I'm very happy with both of these and prefer them to my old bank (Halifax).

I've been a happy Monzo user for at least a year, but recently got a Starling account because they have Android Pay and Monzo don't.
Besides the larger issues of whether or not this is something you should be doing, this seems a decent overview.

Except for one part, the amount of exercise is terribly low. A swim a couple times a week and 30 minute walks every day is not good enough for your health or if you are chasing peak performance. First of all, this isn't even enough to offset the damage this much inactivity will cause.

If you want peak mental performance and endurance then you want to be very active and very fit. Doesn't really matter what it is, although it should favour cardio over muscle mass at least a little.
