You are completely misinformed. Most drivers do both. Get on reddit.com/r/lyft or reddit.com/r/uberdrivers and you will get a sense that post tipping + changes Uber has made, the scale has entirely tipped. Lyft has certainly done an excellent job building up the perception that they are better for drivers and convincing consumers of the same. In fact, this is on the front page of r/lyft today - https://www.reddit.com/r/Lyft/comments/7c234g/is_lyft_unethi...
I think Mozilla wasted some effort on some questionable initiatives, like Firefox OS. They became a little complacent and didn't put money(?) where their mouth is.

For those who don't know, if you sign in to your Google account in Chrome, Google will automatically save all the searches you've done in the omnibox.

I don't remember Google ever warning me specifically that this was happening in the background, and after I checked https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity and noticed it was doing that, I was so furious that I deleted all the data Google kept on me there, and paused all tracking in the Activity Controls page. I also stopped signing in to the Google account in Chrome.

This is why I'm a big supporter of EU's "explicit consent" idea. I should be knowing stuff like that without having to read a 5-page privacy policy that's often hidden somewhere on the Help page.

Speaking of Firefox, version 57 also makes it easier to enable Tracking Protection in settings now (before you had to switch to the private windows to benefit from it, although you could make it so that FF always opened private windows by default).

"Why should I pay more" isn't really an argument in the context of a company that is trying to extract the maximum price from every single person. Someone else's price going down will not make yours go up.

But as I said, if the variation in humans is really that large, then charging a linear combination for depth/weight based on actual costs would be completely understandable.

For the current state, let's take a quick look at say United [0]. A regular ticket from BOS to LAX is $139, which is in line with the general range one would expect to pay [1]. The upgrade to "Economy Plus" is $99. So for a pitch increase of 20%, the price is 70% more?! This is price discrimination based on immutable physical qualities - straight up gouging.

What does it mean for an RSU to "vest"? My understanding of RSUs is that it means the company will give you some shares if you still work there at some specified date. Vesting is a stock option concept - the time at which you can choose whether or not to sell some of the granted shares. Which means that you can sell some shares to pay your taxes when the shares vest.

Is the current proposal meant to tax the RSUs when you are told you will be getting them?
You can do everything with them if they are publicly traded, if not what are you going to do ? If you're working in a early stage company which can see its valuation goes north (probably one of the reasons you work there instead of google btw) you could try to convince someone to buy some of your stock each month to pay for these vested shares you just get ?
I can't read OCaml code so well, but it seems that the list you are allocating completely fits within the nursery. If it was larger than the nursery, it would have to be promoted to a higher generation which I'm sure would slow down the linked list code a lot. Promoting a dynamic array isn't nearly as expensive because it is just one big object, not thousands of list nodes.
But is it Skinner Box addictive?

It all depends. It’s certainly hard to compete with a $500k/yr sure thing, but personally I’d rather have a $150k/yr salary with a chance to retire if the company does well than a sure $200k/yr. It just all depends.

The cafe where I buy my lunchtime salad also sells a range of excellent cakes, which are very tempting.

My son (9), who showed me the game, spent the longest time building parts manually. I kept showing him how to automate, but it didn't really "click" until I was pumping out solid lines of green potions in front of him, then he understood the magic of automation.

It felt oddly similar to interactions with various business departments.

That is very true of modern C++ because the idiomatic way of handling the acquisition and release of all resources is to acquire in a constructor (typically either explicitly for a single resources or implicitly by including another object that acquires resources as a member variable for multiple resources).

C++ doesn't completely free you from considering whether a type allocates memory on the stack or on the heap, but it does let you limit which code needs to concern itself with where values are allocated to a very small portion of the code. Most code written to work against a std::vector will also work against a std::array unless it is relying on the ability of a std::vector to dynamically resize.
Yes, they addressed it, but why not demonstrate it if it was actually true? As in register on camera then point it at the mask.

> Founder CEOs were by far the worst type of CEO

That's a hyperbole.
The proposal is that the employee will have to pay tax on RSUs upon vest, even though the underlying assets cannot be sold. For example:

Employee A has 40,000 shares of stock granted upon hire, vesting 25% per year. So on year 1, they vest and have to pay taxes on 10,000 shares. Say those shares are valued at $25 per share. In a public company, you could just sell $25 of those shares and be left with 7,500 shares. At the private company, under the new rules, you'll have 10,000 shares that you cannot sell, but still be liable for paying tax on $250,000.

Those shares may never be liquid, and this rule can and will bankrupt people.

Interesting list since they received quite heterogeneous and many times mixed education, home vs. institution, Hungarian vs. foreign, also their adult achievements were many times reached/mastered in other than the educating country.

This is my favourite extension also. When using a laptop or other small screen, being able to remove the title bar is essential. I'm not upgrading to 57 until I can find a good workaround.

Apparently, one used to be able to manually modify Firefox's userchrome.css to do something similar, but I've yet to find descriptions on what to do with this new version of Firefox.

A different broken family of extensions that is impacted is mouse gestures, even for things like moving along tabs when hovering over them using the mouse wheel (default Chrome experience). I don't think this behaviour is possible with the new version of FF, sadly.

> the evidence linking amyloid beta and tau to AD is quite good and getting stronger with every new molecular paper that comes out.

Sure, but what causes the amyloid beta? Why wouldn't a long-standing syphilis-like bacterial infection in the CNS cause that sort of protein buildup?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4399390/

It's a little shocking to see a "former Alzeheimer's researcher" presume that tau buildup and bacterial infections are mutually exclusive..

That's like saying heart disease can't be caused by arterial scarring because it's caused by plaque buildup.

Ask HN: Any recourse for ex-employee excluded from share repurchase?
Four years ago, I joined a startup as a very early engineering hire. I worked there for 2.5 years but left last year to pursue a different opportunity.

The startup is busy working on a funding round with a >$1b valuation, and in the process will be repurchasing some shares from employees. Problem is, they're only purchasing 10% of shares, and only from current employees. It seems messed up that because I started there so early I'd be excluded from the repurchase.

It's been four years and I'd like to get some liquidity for the work I put in, but at this point it seems I'll get nothing unless the entire company is liquidated (unlikely) or they go public (less likely).

Have any of you been in a similar situation? Do I have any other options?
Please describe the balut, and if you'd recommend the experience.
There are a lot of holes in your equation there.

Apple never said they rushed the phone. They said they were able to get it out early. These are not the same thing; "rushed" implies that quality suffered, while merely getting it out early could just be due to work going faster than anticipated.

Even if the phone as a whole was "rushed," that doesn't mean Face ID was. Maybe it was naturally ready by now.

Even if Face ID was rushed, that doesn't mean that the security aspects were rushed.

Even if Face ID's security aspects were rushed, that doesn't mean testing was rushed.

It's like if you show up early to a meeting and so I accuse you of speeding. Is that sensible?

The law in Mass, and how it's rolled out has had unintended consequences:

1. Home cultivation is legal (and not controlled by local officials), and therefore the "black" market is booming / prices are dropping.

2. Municipalities are blocking recreational cannabis businesses, in many cases instituting "moratoriums" for 1-2 years to "allow the state legal framework to be hammered out" (which is complete BS) This helps the black market further.

3. Furthermore, the shops that are allowed are heavily regulated and taxed, further helping the black market price advantage.

Until recreational cannabis businesses are open and thriving, the black market will continue to surge, and probably hasn't even peaked.

Making it slightly easier is that they have multiple points where a person is matched with a name during their time in the airport. With that and good enough coverage they could make the recognition better with continuous tracking. Even without an explicit name attached to a person just knowing all the places a person has gone could be useful for flagging 'weird' behavior.

I'm still worried about how secure Firefox is in relation to Chrome. From what I understand, Firefox exploits only go for $30k at Pwn2Own, while Chrome exploits go for $80k. Should I be worried?
Honestly? You can't. Even if a perfect spray did exist you wouldn't be able to get even close to half of the population to use it. It would actually be a small minority. There's actually quite a large group of people out there that support things like this.

Since you could only ever get a small group to attempt this it would only draw more scrutiny onto yourself and make your life harder. It wouldn't be enough of an inconvenience for the authorities to care.

The largest group I've heard of is the opt-out of scanners group who refused and always demands xrays. It even made the media. It faded away and now the one or two people that care take an extra few minutes in security getting a pat down. No real change happened.

> C++ doesn't completely free you from considering whether a type allocates memory on the stack or on the heap

You’re completely right but the way this is phrased shows a common misconception about C++/RAII: it was never about freeing the programmer from considering how to manage memory. Rather, it was about automating the mechanics behind these considerations, and adding a layer of type safety (which C++11 tremendously improved).

If you don’t want to think about memory management, use a garbage collected language (but accept that it doesn’t scale to all scenarios). C++ forces you to think about resource management, it just makes the implementation of resource management vastly easier than C.

I have had quite some bicycles, and I have replaced everything on them. Including frame, front fork, wheels, steer, axles... I'd like them to be more durable.

Regular maintenance on the chain and gears should be done twice a week in fall conditions. In winter, this is true too but since we salt the roads, you must also clean chains at least weekly. Less maintenance simply wears of the chains much quicker. I think I replace them around 3-4K KM, but I have no exact numbers here.

Lights break about every month when commuting daily. Batteries go empty, cheap lights break because bumps, charging them is a hassle.

I'd like to throw my bike from 2 meters down and know it's not broken anywhere. In the city, people fight for parking spots and play rough with others peoples bikes.

I want a mapping system which is safe and usable. I know it can be done, but is has not yet been done. I'm thinking integrated sounds & lights in the steering wheel. I have seen some interesting kickstarter projects trying to solve this problem.
First, that's not necessarily the case (that they're confused), the parent may simply be referring to that number for scale purposes.

Second, what they said is correct on an annual basis. The value of that merger, at $103 billion, exceeds the annual GDP of numerous nations.

Before you make an absolute statement about their confusion, perhaps you should ask for clarification first. What they said was not strictly wrong.

The economic output of an entire nation can be useful for such comparisons when you're attempting to relate to very large financial figures.
using route 53 has always been worth it for me, and it's not that hard to only use it for the bits you need rather than using it to manage an entire domain.

e.g. my company hosts our own legacy BIND servers, so our main root domains live there, but I wanted to be able to use Route53 for easy DNS updates within Cloudformation. So, we just set up sub-zones in BIND that forward to a route 53 hosted zone (*.prod-aws.whatever.com), and our user facing domain names (foo.whatever.com) just cname to something in the sub-zones (Foo.prod-aws.whatever.com) that route53 manages.

That's just one example that's not 100% applicable here, but the point is you can get creative and only use it for what you need, which I've found makes it much easier to accept.
