> Throw a streaming camera in the car, and require a credit card on file, and they can trash the inside of my car all they want, they are just paying for the cleaning or new interior.

You might want to think this one through a bit more carefully. One dude hides a joint in his back pocket, and now your car smells like weed. Another accidentally sat on a piece of gum earlier, and now part of it is stuck to your seat. When do you notice? How do you decide who is at fault, or when to start a credit card dispute? You will have a dozen random people using your car every day, very few malicious, but none with any interest in taking care of it beyond not trashing it. Taking care of "your" car will become a full-time job.

EDIT (slow-ban reply): Fair enough. Plenty of people have rental properties. I think it seems like an enormous hassle, but it can apparently be a decent living or side-hustle, so I could be wrong about cars.

very good point, this has been my experience as well, particularly for burstable instances such as the T2s
I don't actually think it's that easy, and I would most likely not ever do something like that, but I think it's ridiculous to imply that nobody would sign up for such a service, hell the fact that over 2/3s of my friends in college were driving for uber and lyft on their off-time, a few of them actually bought newer cars just so they could Uber/Lyft and easily made the difference back.

Still, even without the "general population ridesharing" aspect, I'd love to "rent out" my car to friends and family. Between myself and my wife, we really don't need 2 cars, but we have 2 because there are some semi-rare instances where we both need to be somewhere different. The amount of time that we both need to be somewhere different at exactly the same time is even more rare.

If we had a self-driving car capable of taxiing us around, it would allow us to drop down to 1 car instead of 2, meaning it can be quite a bit more expensive and still save us money.
Nope, that makes no sense at all. Making yourself a cake is almost always more noble than stealing a cake, even if the motives in both circumstances are to eat some cake.

And let's not bring up the counterexample of a poor mother stealing a cake to feed her child. Some people steal cakes just because they're dicks, and if your worldview doesn't account for that it's lacking.
Yeah, Tk just looks and behaves (as a gui) very crudely, but my preference for other gui libraries was always ease of use, organization, and troubleshooting. Verbosity would go under ease of use and organization. I think Gtk and/or Wx had a gui to layout widgets, but it was so far behind Qt. I still don't have a preferred way to organize Qt code, but it offers almost too many options. The main book on PyQt, Rapid GUI Programming with Python and Qt, doesn't use Designer and all the guis are done programatically. It's a great way to learn the library, but horrible for maintenance.

Most of the guis Ive needed just use basic widgets. I've poked at the browser and opengl widget, but never really used them. I have had to add custom behaviors to widgets to match other apps and it seemed pretty well suited. Funny enough, the Qt organization has stopped development on Widgets over 5 years ago (which is all I've ever really used). They consider Widgets feature complete and are focusing on QML.

> there is something that just doesn't feel right with Python GUI programming.

I think it's because GUIs, by their nature, are event driven and require parallel execution. Python doesn't do this very well so there's awkward syntax, a few competing paradigms, and unexpected behaviors (with memory, code flow, etc). I can see an argument for Javascript in this regard.
I mentor plenty of people, women included, thank you very much. I am always willing to help.

What I am not willing to do is stick my and my families' neck on the line and take unnecessary career risks. I don't run in fear of women, I just take necessary precautions when dealing with a hazard.

I didn't create this environment where males, especially white middle-class males, are morally wrong for simply existing. And where any comment you say could be posted on twitter and you have a mob of people who say such nice things as "kill white people" are ready to harass you until you lose your job and everything you worked for. I am just reacting to it in a way that prevents me from falling victim to what I see as a threat to my career and protects my livelyhood and family.

Twenty years ago, I never felt like being alone with a woman in the office was a danger. Now, I feel like if I am not taking active measures, I could be crucified by HR, females, and the twitter / internet mob in the blink of an eye for simply making a comment that was taken the wrong way.
It would be nice if resellers were required to prove that they actually have tickets in hand before advertising. Many times these resellers work as brokers trying to match buyers and sellers and buy tickets after getting offers, leaving some buyers out in the cold when tickets don't materialize. Also maybe require proof of actual rows and seats on the tickets, if they don't match, when buying allow the buyer to back out of the deal.
At point 3 you skip over the public humiliation that a published deepfake can be responsible for. By creating something and keeping it to yourself, you are basically demonstrating the behaviour Reddit wants. They want you to keep that "content" offline in your basement and not on Reddit being spread and commented on.

If that fake sex gif you made of your wife gets spread around her workplace, you better believe that would be an extremely humiliating and emotionally traumatic experience. An experience these rules will be created to prevent.
If you can't find motivation, try obligation. Either fiscal, personal, schedule, etc.

I want to be open about collecting emails. Honestly I have no plan for them... maybe an update newsletter... on my last resume site I made, I think I sent 1 email in the 3 years I had the list of active users.

But I also don't want to just slap something on the home page saying that I collect emails - there's not really any place for it to fit in the design.

I do have it clearly on the TOS and FAQ pages though. I changed the wording on the homepage so people wouldn't think I'm not collecting anything.

FINALLY. Reselling needs to be regulated so badly. I couldn't get tickets to a show at a medium-sized, local venue half a day after it was announced without having to go through a reseller and buy at a 200% markup. It wasn't even a person with a large amount of name recognition, either.

I’m an undergrad, and I’ve only very rarely worked out in the past. I just wanted to share how I feel about this today. I’ll be going for my second time today.

I think some important factors for this:

- It feels good

- I’m feeling sad and am looking to feel better

- I’m not feeling too physically tired. Last night I worked out, and this morning I worked out. I feel strong and as if I have enough energy to work out

- I am not distracted with stress about any obligations (when I am stressed/distracted, I tend to forget to do certain things or will badly time manage)

I think the main factors are that I am looking to feel better and I feel somewhat energetic because I worked out last night and today.

I have wondered how to solve this problem last month. I thought about how, through school and social norms, we learn to not react to our urge to move (and movement can bring pleasure). It’s important to react to our urge to move, to have a reflex. I might be developing that now, because as I wrote, I’m goingbecause I want to feel better.

Anecdotes are not facts. Cholesterol and most fats are still generally bad for you, it's not so black and white, it never is or was. It's not an excuse to stuff yourself with cheeseburgers.
I can't believe this guy has the nuts to act like he deserves a lick of sympathy. Nuts. I don't know what's worse, him acting that way or a news channel glorifying his actions. What a strange world we live in.

I know we live in a world where this guy is going to make a better, more clickable story than somebody finding and returning somebody's purse but where do we draw the line. I guess if it weren't such a large quantity of gold plus being stolen from an armored vehicle in broad daylight it might have been seen as more of a terrible crime. As it stands it's almost more laughable that he was able to pull it off than anything. The dude was such an idiotic thief after he actually got away with the goods that there is a story in that itself.
LineageOS iPhone when? It would be interesting to see iPhone hardware running a better OS.

And again every single one of those scenarios happens every day with uber and lyft, and they still have a massive number of drivers working for the service every day.

I don't really want to get into an internet argument on the details of how uber and lyft work, but most of those things are easily solvable right now in-app with the click of a button, and I've personally seen the "difficulty" of having to take a few photos of what the last rider did to your car, upload it in-app, and have the company pay for repairs/cleaning in the span of a day or 2.

None of this is "impossible" to solve, and I could absolutely see the future of cars being less of "this is my car" and more of "i'm buying this as an investment" similar to how some people buy and rent housing, especially 50 or 100 years from now.

Your comment was interesting, I think I mostly agree.

Culturally the work that is raising children still seems to be devalued (particularly, during the early years, which is arguably when it’s hardest).

So, it’s unlikely that we will see gender normalization in this area unless cultural norms shift (and it’s seem as important and valuable). And it doesn’t have a stronger economic impact on males than females (I.e. longer paid leave for both parents is available).
One of the lessons I try to remember from Strunk and White is that "vigorous writing is concise."

It takes more mental energy to parse a sentence that's full of qualifiers, so there is less energy left to understand what is being said.

Likewise it takes more mental energy to parse accented speech, and if both an accent and a lot of extra words are in play, forget about it.

Omit qualifiers. Unless you really need them.

If you arrive to México in a plane you can expect random searches. I get my luggage opened around 1 in 10 times. They also use x-ray for screening luggage on arrival.
If you are driving or walking sometimes you just say hello and that's about it. But I also have gotten my car searched, specially if crossing by myself.

That's not true, tipping was not possible in the app, at all.

What you call coordinated harassment may also be called political activism. A democracy requires participation and expression to advance. Of course it can be taken too far, but organizations should be able to handle political expression.
No I didn't! Does it work? Now I'm ashamed I immediately asked that. "Would you want it used on you?" sounds like a better question, applying to the taser and dog examples also. I'd answer no, maybe others would say yes.
> I fully agree with "do not lightly assume", but "never" is the wrong standard.

I think there's a distinction to be made between "assume" and "conclude" that might better capture what you're getting at. If I'm deciding that your motives are ignoble based on evidence, it's not an assumption.
Any fines paid will ultimately be passed back to the consumer through increased prices.

As someone that has an amazing work colleague that is blind but also an amazing software developer, I very strongly agree with the idea of your comment.

I'm genuinely annoyed and sad when I'm dealing with shitty UI/UX and realize that something may be completly unaccessible for his use.

He made me more aware of the general problems and it's something I always keep in the back of my mind when explaining or doing things (things like pictures, diagrams, white board drawings, etc are a no-no).

I would like to see more people aware and thinking of this and not forget of the issue for new experiences with new UIs.
For t-shirts I actually really like the v-necks sold at Old Navy. The ones that go for $15-20 (don’t get their lower priced ones, they’re flimsy) have lasted me about 2 years of regular weekly wear now. They also fit my form well, which was a deciding factor. The fine-threaded cotton doesn’t ball up, and colors haven’t noticeably faded.

...and designing, developing, and supporting your own custom application and its associated protocol isn't an "engineering challenge"?

USB mass storage requires exposing a block device with a filesystem, which is error-prone and complex.

The point is, USBMS is a solved problem. My MP3/MP4 players, my Android phone, my satnav, even my soldering iron[1] can do it. The Linux kernel, which reMarkable uses, already includes support for this[2]. It's conceptually very simple --- in its most basic form, if the device detects that it's plugged in, it unmounts its internal block device and lets the host control it, and vice-versa. More advanced functionality, such as found on Android and many MP3/MP4s, lets you choose whether the device or the host controls its storage, via a very obvious interface on the device itself (one position is "charge only", the other is "transfer files".)

Never assume the motives of others are, to them, less noble than yours are to you. Never? And what if the other is lying, cheating and stealing?

Never assume does not preclude the possibility of drawing conclusions based on firm evidence. It merely cautions against prejudice.

I will note that people living in abusive situations or under oppressive regimes may learn to lie, cheat and steal to survive. They may feel justified. They may even feel they are nobly standing up against evil.

There is some truth to the idea that you need middle class means to afford middle class morality.

* RET = Resistance Exercise Training

* 1RM = 1 Repetition Maximum Strength

"The average RET-induced increase, with all measures of 1RM included, was 27kg (mean±SD; 27±22kg22 32). Notably, dietary protein supplementation augmented the increase in 1RM strength by 2.49kg (9%; figure 2; see online supplementary figure 4), which strongly suggests that the practice of RET is a far more potent stimulus for increasing muscle strength than the addition of dietary protein supplementation."

"In addition to increasing changes in muscle strength, RET alone (≥6; 13±8weeks) resulted in an increase in FFM (1.1 ± 1.2kg), an increase in fibre CSA (808±) and an increase in mid-femur CSA (52±30mm2). Dietary protein supplementation augmented the increase in FFM by 0.30kg (27%), fibre CSA by 310µm2 (38%) and mid-femur CSA by 7.2mm2 (14%). The postexercise protein dose did not affect the efficacy of protein supplementation on RET-induced changes in FFM whereas training status (positive), age (negative) and baseline protein intake (positive) did. Relative to untrained participants, resistance-trained participants have a smaller potential for muscle growth and an attenuated postexercise muscle protein turnover. As a result, we speculate that trained persons may have less ‘degrees of freedom’ to change with RET and therefore have a greater need for protein supplementation to see increases in muscle mass. Our thesis is supported by the observation of a more consistent impact of protein supplementation on gains in FFM in resistance-trained individuals than in novice trainees."

So working out regularly increases your 1-rep max lift by 27kg. Supplementing with protein can increases that max that by 2.5kg. Resistance exercise can increase your muscle mass by 1.1kg and protein can increase muscle mass further by 0.3kg. There was no difference past a protein dose of 1.6g/kg/day and supplementation mainly benefit those starting from a higher point of muscle mass and strength.

> We chose our seats and waited, but the waiter was nowhere to be seen. When he finally materialised, seemingly out of nowhere, he didn’t ask ‘What would you like to order’, or ‘What can I get you?’. He said ‘What do you want?’. Maybe it was the fact that he’d said it in English, or maybe he was just having a bad day, but I was shocked nonetheless.

It wasn't rudeness, it was just translated from Dutch to English, i.e. how you would say it in Dutch but with English words. Something like; "Wat wil je?"

Just because the Dutch speak English well, doesn't mean they communicate well in English.

When I moved from the Netherlands to Australia 12 years ago I could speak English very well. However, there is a big difference in speaking a language and expressing yourself in it.

I don't think harassing a woman over a story made-up by a bitter ex-boyfriend counts as political expression by any measure.
A large number of resellers are directly connected to the venue and artist management. Artists don’t want to be seen as too greedy, yet their contract has guaranteed payouts that simply aren’t possible given the venue size times # of seats. By directly routing most tickets to resellers they can charge way more than the face price of the ticket while shifting the blame to the resellers. In some cases the artists are aware, in others their manager doesn’t discuss it with them (but presents bigger paychecks as proof of how great their management skills are).

There is zero desire on the part of anyone involved to stop the practice, other than a few artists that really do care about fans and are willing to take a pay cut (eg Bruce Springsteen).
