There is a lot of room for drivers to optimize their driving so that they end up making more than average by choosing times and locations to drive that will get them a larger portion of their time giving rides, rides at a higher speed, rides with higher surge multipliers, etc. The more experienced drivers could be making significantly more than the average amount, while less experienced drivers who haven't learned these tricks yet are earning less.

> For the wage gap take as an assumption that companies were genuinely able to pay women less for doing the exact same quality and quantity of work as men. Well what would happen? We already live in a world where big companies relentlessly squeeze every penny they can from minimizing labor costs. The notion that people are intentionally paying more to men just to be around more men defies belief, to put it mildly.

There are multiple problems with this sniff test. First, it makes the same fallacy as the economist who sees a twenty dollar bill on the ground and then says that there couldn't really be a twenty dollar bill on the ground because someone would already have picked it up. Markets are not perfectly efficient and any conclusion based on that assumption is nonsense.

Second, the companies aren't choosing to pay men more just because they are men. They are paying them more because men have higher existing wages which gives them more bargaining power. It is irrational on an overall basis but it is rational on an individual basis, so no individual company has an incentive to change.

The US used to call out China over its human rights abuses. That seems to have stopped around the start of Obama's second term. Now the US has gotten to the point where its president praises China's new permanent president for being so brave to do that.

My hope is the US' next president will be one that cares deeply about civil rights and will start calling China out in the future, as its human rights abuses inevitably increase under a dictator with all-seeing surveillance eyes.

> The problem with Cairo is that it's painfully slow.

It really isn't though... it's just painfully easy to fall onto slow paths, and not obvious how not to. Time and again I've seen people stack benchmarks of cairo where they're only benchmarking the image surface; of course that's slow, it's CPU rendering! If your realtime graphics app is ever creating a new surface and it's not using cairo_surface_create_similar() or cairo_{xlib,xcb}_surface_create(), you've probably fucked up.

Nearly 100% of the time, when someone's fallen into a slow path using cairo, it's because they've managed to get cairo to copy something back from the graphics server, do some operations on the CPU, and then reupload back to the server. And surprise, that's very slow. After that, the majority of remaining slow cases are due to creating too many clipping regions (which is common in lots of complex rendering applications, but usually caught by the application developers themselves since Cairo's actually remarkably good at debugging these kinds of rendering issues with tools like the script surface and cairo-perf-trace).

Meanwhile, Firefox has managed to pretty much stamp out all of the rest of the actual painfully slow Cairo paths...

Part of this perceived slowness in Cairo is because the example code is pretty bleak and abysmal (just look at https://www.cairographics.org/documentation/ if you don't believe me), part of it is because everyone who used to maintain cairo (before they ran off and are now doing VR at Valve, or Wayland, or Tizen, or whatever) were Xorg developers and Xorg things were "so trivially obvious" to them that isn't trivially obvious to... basically everyone else, and part of it is because of "stack-overflow-itis" - "I'm just going to copy this example code because this guy got it working and I don't care to understand the mechanics of how/why it works/why it's slow in my code."

tl;dr: cairo's not slow, stop creating/rendering against image surfaces, use the perf tools to keep clear of bad application behaviors.
Compact Regions: Success, Failure, and Questions
This is cool! I have been looking into building something similar along these lines for a while (I'm a data scientist and avid backcountry skier in the Wasatch). Have you seen: https://utahavalanchecenter.org/ ?

I would potentially be interested in contributing to this. One of the approaches I have thought would be beneficial is to generate probabilities of a slide occuring on a given slope using snow profiles as features in the model. Here we have the Utah Avalanche Center who go visit slides and generate snowpack reports like this: https://utahavalanchecenter.org/avalanches/37960

There are also a bunch of other snow pits dug with reports on slopes where a slide didn't occur. I would be neat to be able to plug in a slope (aspect, pitch, elevation, wind loading, etc) and have a red/yellow/green generated. The problem I ran into was obtaining the data - it all looks to be stored in random places.
They talk about patch submission in the downloads page git subsection, and the documentation page welcomes contributions in the first paragraph.

I can't speak for the Cairo project, but some projects prefer there to be a slight barrier to patch submissions to improve the signal:noise ratio. Anyone vested in a well-formed patch should be motivated enough to send an email to either a mailing list or any of the developers found in the git commit history. Reviewing patches takes significant time, so it can make sense to require the submitter to invest a bit of time before consuming yours as maintainer.
Generally things like "self disclosure", "trust" and "commitment" are things that are highly correlated with strong friendship quality.

One thing I'd really like to see Google try and fix is upstream kernel support for the phone platforms. Right now there's no chance for an open-source project like LineageOS to be able to support all devices properly when each and every single device is stuck on an old kernel often with a bunch of important CVEs unpatched. It's as if Ubuntu needed to do independent development for each and every laptop. Without something like that buying an Android phone is a mine field of various states of broken software provided by phone manufacturers. It's like trying to buy a consumer wifi router without the knowledge that if it's supported by OpenWRT you can just ignore whatever broken software the particular manufacturer put into it and will never support going forward. The first rule of hardware is that hardware makers can't do software and Google seems to have mostly given up.
Whats wrong with helping to elect Trump?
That does not make it wrong. If you want to argue that a board member who gave a speech for Hillary at the DNC should also be removed, you can make that argument.

To indulge you: what specific policy proposal did Hillary make and Trump oppose that would be harmful to Facebook employees or users, or contrary to Facebook's goals?
Agreed. Being good at math or some other technical topic doesn’t mean you’re not still a human who is easily emotionally manipulated.

Science relies on bad experiments. But of course folks like Thiel and Demore act like they got it right and can just keep on doing, cause of a sense of privilege.

Thiel isn’t doing the work himself. That’s impossible. But rules should be avoided. Relies on society to collectively provide, but says society isn’t allowed to expect anything back.

IMO, those sorts seem to be especially easy to manipulate emotionallly. Patted on the back all their lives, but if you should try to stop them they get salty. Forgetting that they’re still one of many.

Look at all the “anarchist” gamers and hacker types with no identity otherwise. Lots of dismissive rhetoric towards women and minorities, based solely on emotional opinion

They grew up with that “on in the background” and just kept tinkering and building on their things, otherwise, while the world (mom) made sure they had food and clean laundry.

So the rest of the world should be like mom to these emotional babies.

I've come to _expect_ that Netflix probably doesn't have a classic I particularly want to watch. Anecdotal, sure, but I find that I treat Netflix and <music streaming service of choice> differently. With Netflix I'll turn it on when I want to watch something but I'm not sure which. If I have a show/ movie in mind I'll check if it's there but generally I expect to pay a small fee to rent it on Amazon. The catalog changes monthly, so you never quite know what is going to be there on any given month. With music I know that the music I'm looking for is (probably) there and I won't have to pay more for it.

They are both media-consumption services but I think most people treat them like
Every day that goes by is a day when they could’ve taken action but didn’t. The stuff they publish on the topic all seems reasonably well thought out, and is always consistent with a “we just want you to follow the rules in place even if you’re using novel tech to do things” mentality.

Sure, they can pivot into rabid dog mode at any moment, but they’re allowing things to proceed while being aware that it’s gaining more mainstream appeal.

The sort of posture you’re advocating is the same sort of scaremongering as the “this is all a Ponzi scheme that will blow up any day now” types are spewing.

> Yes, yes it does. You don't have to be a saint to point out bad behavior.

Sure, but no one is making that claim.
Bad ideas deserve to be analyzed, argued against, and demolished. Bullying people into grudging silence isn't pushing out bad ideas. Rather, the history of such behavior is that it's a tactic for people to try and prop up bad ideas which can't stand on their own.

When one finds oneself doubling down on an ideology with more acrimony and fervor, it's a clear sign that one is on the wrong side of history. When one is bullying others into agreement instead of convincing others, it's a clear sign that one is on the wrong side of history. When one must convince oneself that another's human rights are to be sacrificed for the greater good, one is on the wrong side of history.

Good ideas stand on their own. Good ideas can convince.

That was my experience, and in retrospect it took my graduate advisor a decade to land an R01 based on the research I did while I was in school. She is a mid career tenured faculty at a decent school. Her husband is an endowed professor at a research one school and they practically call him on the phone to give him money (That is total hyperbole, but he lands funding at a much higher rate in spite of the fact that both have successful research programs). It seems really difficult to break into the sphere of 'successful PI' when so mnany other successful PIs win the majority of the funding. It was one of the reasons I left academia. Not the only reason, but it figured into it.

There is a high correlation between high IQ and introversion. I don't actually believe most high IQ people are innately introverted. I think many of them become introverted due to being treated poorly by most social groups they encounter.

On one gifted list years ago, someone anecdotally reported being very extroverted and becoming introverted over the course of a year of severe bullying during middle school.

One of my sons is borderline between introversion and extroversion. He was an attention monger as a toddler, but became more introverted after starting school. He didn't like the weird, problematic attention he was getting at school for being more sociable and intentionally chose to disengage.

I'm highly social in nature, but my values are the opposite of what people think that means. So I never taught my kids they were required to be crowd pleasers. So he felt quite free to choose.

He is very talkative with me and his brother in private and I get reports that he is pretty popular in forums where he participates, which I have seen firsthand in the past. But most mere acquaintances describe him as quiet and shy and are quick to conclude he is ASD, which is probably true, though he has no formal diagnosis. But he turns it on and off at will according to what makes sense to him.

I am quite skeptical that introversion and extroversion are something you are simply born with.

https://archive.fo/iCnWG
Yes that's exactly what I meant with the part of my comment in brackets.

But just to clarify: I always thought 'I don't need no-one else'. And while that is still true, I could do fine without the people I know now, my main point on this is: since I know them, and meet them from time to time, my life simply got more interesting. Is that truly needed? Well, no, I wouldn't immediately die without it, but it surely did add a myriad of interesting aspects. More to think about when alone, for one. Something to look forward to which I couldn't imagine I'd ever look forward to when I was younger. Finally the realization of why others seems to crave social interactions, I just never truly understood that earlier. Realising I can go on with being myself, but still from time to time have social interactions which are actually worth it. Etc. Not sure if this is all clear, I mean, I still have a hard time expressing feelings like this :P
