>> the campaign should have people in charge of security

OK, but most don't.

Money is a very limited resource in campaigns, and almost all campaign managers will choose to spend it on direct mail and ads over hiring someone for IT security. Their thinking will go "this organization is only around for a year or two, and if we don't win then it won't matter what our IT issues were", and their colleagues in the world of professional campaigning will agree with them. If we're lucky - and I hope we are - the DNC/RNC will have a hotline and national support team for IT security that campaigns can call, but it'll get swamped fast.

Local campaigns don't do enterprise IT. Local campaigns buy G Suite and some old laptops, and leave them sitting around campaign offices in which plenty of not-well-known people come and go. They'll likely be administered by either a contractor hired to set up the offices, or by a friend of one of the early paid employees who "knows computers". While simple changes that individual users can do aren't as through as what you get with a proper security administrator, they're much more likely to get done.

If you're a local[0] campaign and a nation-state actor wants to attack you, they'll probably be successful - but anything you can do to tilt the odds in your favor (like this guide) will help.

[0] Senate campaigns will generally have a small IT team who can do most of the enterprise-level management things mentioned. National campaigns will have a well-staffed IT team to do all this and more.
It was sort of a Jeopardy response. I'm sorry if it was too opaque. The OP's article just brought LISP into my mind.
You find that paralyzed people are immunocompromised or harbor infections at a greater probability than the general population?

I wonder if this is due to lower rates of lymph circulation, which relies on the body being in motion. The lymphatic system is a key part of the immune system.
It seems like you're comparing a framework with a language?

What framework do you use on node.js?

My experience with nodejs has been pretty poor. I'll give some examples;

* The language and runtime is constantly updating - there is no such thing as stability

* Even npm couldn't produce deterministic installs until this year

* npm dependency hell

* there are lots of ways to do any task, so there is much fragmentation with advice / community

* the repls in node suck compared to pry

* I can't find a good opinionated framework - so everyone lays out each application differently, with different standards etc. That means you end up spending a ridiculous amount of time configuring everything.

* most apps i've needed to make don't actually benefit from being a SPA. It's a cargo cult thing.

* javascript as a language sucks!
I don’t think it’s necessarily appropriate to use that figure to calculate your actual costs as an Uber driver, especially if you’re not driving full-time. It seems like the 53 cent figure is amortizing the entire cost of the vehicle, fuel, and maintenance over its entire lifetime. If you’re in college and just drive for Uber on occasional weekends, it doesn’t make sense to include all of the fixed costs of the vehicle in your profit calculations. Note that the IRS figure for variable costs per mile is 17 cents.

There are companies that explicitly rent cars to rideshare drivers. The rates are around 300-500 per week. I did some contract work for one of them.
I had the same problem; I tracked it down to a problem with my particular macOS user account most likely caused by me changing the home directory name post-facto. (https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT201548) I made the change because I didn't want my full name as the account name. The problem didn't present itself prior to (IIRC) updating to macOS Sierra.

To determine whether this is the cause for your particular problem, create a fresh new macOS user account, log into it and see if you can replicate the slow-down there. If there's no slowdown, it's probably this bug.

To work around the problem, I created a temporary admin account and logged into it. I then renamed my current account, created a new one with the correct details, then transferred most of my stuff from the old account to the new one, including the full contents of Library. Last step, chown the new profile directory:

There are both fixed and variable costs (in addition to fuel costs) in operating a car. I expect the IRS number surprises a lot of people but I doubt the IRS is in the business of passing out free money to people who drive a lot for business at tax time. People can reduce their own average cost with inexpensive, low MPG, older vehicles although this is somewhat limited by Uber rules/preferences.

Cars cost more to operate per mile than a lot of people think they do. I expect if there were a meter in personal cars, people would drive a lot less.
I too use C-\ and largely for similar reasons!

That's an artifact of the language, not inherent to functional programming.

Likelihood has to be judged against the evidence. A lot of scientifically-minded people have tested it for themselves and found ads to appear when they spoke about subject explicitly to test whether ads would appear. I recall several specific cases. It's not quite scientific enough for me, but I'd expect a scientific study to have the same conclusion.

Just like if you do a scientific study of whether baked beans make you toot, yes, you will find that they do.

Although you state there is a high likelihood of a false negative, it would be a useful study for me and others in the more likely case that it matches the informal n=1 studies numerous technical people performed by themselves.
I think you're right, and the article's claim that the drivers' ignorance is being taken advantage of is an unpleasant thing to say. It assumes that the drivers are financially naive, when in fact there are many legitimate reasons why they choose to drive.

Many of them are supplementing their income in between other gigs, or enjoy driving more than other jobs available to them. Others have done well out of the referral, bonus schemes and tips that the author mentions. There are various other factors and incentives which the author does not seem to have taken into account. Much as I dislike the corporate practices of Uber, implying that the drivers are miscalculating the cost of driving and are therefore ignorant is a smug overgeneralisation.

I don't have an easy answer, but the "just use google drive" advice has always struck me as "create a workflow that sees lots of google logins" which exacerbates phishing. I think U2F probably helps a lot here, but I would really push to move away from web based workflows. It puts a lot of really dangerous UI all in the same window. In a world where people use Outlook (or pine, harhar) they don't type their all powerful email password into the browser because why the hell would the browser ever ask for the email password. But I think that ship has sunk.

I don't necessarily disagree with you but I certainly couldn't afford an "Uber eligible" car when I was in college. Are college students overspending on cars just to drive for Uber?

> ultimately seeking profit above all leads to reputational harm and resulting a downward spiral (or if lucky an oligopoly)

Not at all. If seeking profit leads to a downward spiral, then the managers are mistaken about how to seek profit. In particular, treating employees and customers well is an excellent strategy for making profits.

For example, I asked a used car salesman acquaintance how to tell if a car dealership was reputable or not. He said it's easy - have they been in business more than 5 years? If they have, they are running on repeat business. Bad dealerships run out of suckers before 5 years.
That 4.2 thing really disturbed me. Most people driving for Uber aren't doing it because they want to over their alternative to nothing. I couldn't, in good conscience, give out a rating that puts someone's livelihood at risk.

I only gave out one 3 star, but that was because the driver was very bad, though not taxi-driver bad, which is what I would consider 1-star.

Money won't be helpful. It will just go to corruption. The premise that if poor countries will just imitate the west, not be corrupt and be smart,
then poverty will go away is ignorant thinking. And if this happens Europe and America will never have illegal immigrants again I hear that a lot sad to say. While I'm not poor but I grew up in a poor neighborhood. I could say that if these billionaires adopt more of my destitute childhood he gets a good education not only from academic but also from the parents it could be a life changing charity. Rather than throwing money on to corrupt organizations.

Enterprise only gives you 100 miles per day, which is very generous in an urban area but if you're visiting out west where the "local" airport is 40 miles away from town...

To make the numbers easy to do in your head, a thirty K car sounds average-ish and lasts 150 K miles, thats a fifth of a buck per mile depreciation for that miracle car that never needs oil changes or any other form of maintenance.

When I was younger I had a sportier car that used ultra high performance tires that cost me a kilobuck per set and only lasted something like 20K miles, which is a nickel per mile just for tires. Of course most cars tires last longer but prices only increase with inflation such that some SUV and truck drivers are likely paying more than five cents per mile just for tires.

dollars per gallon divided by miles per gallon gives you dollars per mile, so 2.5 or so divided by 25 or so (to make the math easy to do in head) implies at least 10 cents per mile just in gas costs. Of course many people spend a lot of the life of their car paying more than $2.50/gal for gas and 25 MPG is a daydream for most cars and most drivers on most roads.

My car insurance is very interested in miles driven per year and if I drove my band limit (which I don't) I'd be paying about ten cents per mile for insurance.

I'm thinking 20 cents for car depreciation, 5 cents for tires, 10 cents for gas, 10 cents for insurance, another 5 cents for misc maintenance costs, the IRS 50 cent estimate isn't bad.
One place I worked we changed the scale from 1-5 to qualitative descriptors (I don't remember the exact words but something like "poor, average, good, great, perfect") and it significantly increased the information we got. Previously we almost never got any scores other than 1,4,5. Afterwards we started seeing more 2s and 3s. It seemed that people only needed one value for "bad" so putting "average" at 2 was very helpful.
This actually sounds like exactly what I’ve been wanting! I use Clojure and it’s great, but I’ve been wanting to use something to interop with some C++ code but while I like C++ more than most, I’d rather write in Clojure (or something like it). Awesome!
All consumer rental car contracts in the US include a provision that disallows the usage of the vehicle for commercial purposes. Additionally, most personal vehicle insurance prohibits the use of the insurance for commercial ride sharing activities without a special waiver.

So as soon as that first fare is picked up (if not sooner), then the renter is in breach of contract. Any insurance from the rental agency is now void, and without special personal insurance waivers, the driver is now driving uninsured.

That is both illegal, and all liability will now be 100% on the driver.

So if someone is going to do that, then they need to calculate in the risk of an accident/arrest and all of the full liability that goes with that.
this may be the best comment of the thread
Uber drivers are contractors, so they’re not going to withhold, but they will issue you a 1099 for the full amount they pay you. It will be up to you to deduct work expenses, either actuals (repairs, depreciation, registration, etc), or per-mile, but not both.

You’ll end up paying income tax on something like the $5 per hour net income.
I think the implication here is that hiring huge amounts will ultimately lead to needing the giant reorganizations that leave a bunch of people suddenly jobless.

I read an article which claimed that if you want a job as a car salesperson, you should make it clear that the reason you want the job is that you want to make the most money you can, not that you have a passion for cars. Don't know how true this assertion is but the rest of the article seems to corroborate. There were anecdotes which mentioned the dealership getting a decent kickback from the manufacturer for selling say 80 cars (and the prospect of getting nothing for selling 79) which could mean the difference between the dealership being in the red versus being in the black. Given these constraints, you don't want to hire someone who does the right thing and turns away prospective customers based on what is in the customer's best interest. I can imagine similar pressure to bank tellers at places like Wells Fargo (whose ex CEO should be in prison btw)
more recent statistical analyses have found evidence for a hot hand effect, though.

i also don't necessarily like calling it a fallacy, as i've definitely run into some people who misinterpret that word, basically assuming that there can never be autocorrelation in data, and anyone who thinks there is must be falling prey to a logical fallacy.

QE is not "printing money". It is exchange of interest bearing assets from the financial assets like government bonds from the private sector, for non interest bearing assets(cash). The net financial assets(money) owned by the private sector remain exactly the same, so there is no direct correlation with inflation.

QE is a strategy to manipulate/lower long term interest rates by changing the asset portfolio of the private sector. Traditionally, central banks only directly controlled short term interest rates. However, in the wake of the financial crisis, credit markets were still tight despite central banks reducing overnight interest rates to zero(the "liquidity trap"). Since you really cant go (much) lower than zero, new techniques were needed to stimulate the economy.

QE does not (directly) lead to inflation, as is further reinforced by the West post 2008 or even Japan in the 2000s. Inflation has consistently stopped short of target during QE. The precise changes to the risk portfolio of the private sector, along with the conditions of the economy means QE can have either inflationary or even deflationary effects.

> If a specification misses an important property it is in my opinion by definition an incorrect description (in particular in this case when this missing property indeed leads to a security problem).

I agree that missing important properties is very bad, but incorrectly stating a property, writing a complex program that matches it and completing the proof all without noticing sounds unlikely to me.

> On the other hand, if these methods were applied "large scale" (i.e. also by much less skilled programmers who don't have a lot of deeper knowledge about more than basic computer science topics), the rates of errors in specification would be much higher and I believe this could become a not-that-uncommon topic.

Hmm, so from my experience, if you're having trouble writing correct specifications you quickly end up getting stuck when writing proofs. Your specification won't match your program and your program won't match your specification so you'll be unable to finish your proof. If you somehow luck out through this a few times, you eventually won't be able to prove something else because a previous specification/theorem is wrong.

> But I don't believe that formal specifications and formal correctness proofs are a panacea. What I rather consider as sad is that it seems to be that if formal specification and machine-checked proofs were applied "by nearly every program", we actually slowly get out of ideas what kind of tools we can develop to decrease the error rates even more...

Besides having machines read our minds, I'm not sure where you can go from formal methods except inventing languages that make specifications easier to accurately describe. When it's still a ongoing debate if strongly typed languages are safer than dynamically typed languages we have a very, very long way to go so this isn't an issue yet...
