> Using uberPOOL, instead of uberX, I’ve saved on 301 rides * ($14.45 average UberX ride – $10.66 average pool ride) = $1140 savings. In exchange, I’ve sat longer in rides. That’s 301 rides * 8 minutes extra minutes per ride on average = 40 more hours in pool rides. $1140 savings over 40 hours is equivalent to Uber paying me $28.50 / hour to ride uberPOOL.

Since he’s paying Uber with after-tax non-deductible dollars, it’s actually more like earning ($28.50 / .6) = $47.50 per hour.
Openstreetmap can be very good when used with the right app. On Android I like OsmAnd, it has the best available UI imo.

It’s probably not hosted in the US, likely the UK. It could also be on the UK’s own servers.
In these cases, the correct SCOTUS answer is "we can't decide". The proper response is some sort of forced decision in Congress -- In a criminal case, a higher court can "remand" -- order a lower court to review and decide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remand_(court_procedure)

We need the same for bitrotted legislation.

In effect, we do -- When SCOTUS says "We don't think past Congress made a decision about this, so we'll pick a default ruling", current Congress has every right and opportnity to hold a vote to make a decision. If they don't, that means they agree with the court, and just as well would have repealed the law if SCOTUS ruled the other way.

Now, in practice Congress doesn't do its job (to busy campaigning for reelection), so inertia wields as much power as any considered deliberation....
If you think that's prescient, take a look at the Privacy Protection Study Commission's Report to Congress twenty years before that in 1977:

Or Paul Baran's testimony to Congress in 1965:

"The initial questions are those of examining the proposed central file system, considering its weak spots, and creating a precise description of those safeguards required that are technologically and economically feasible. If the gap is too great, then clearly we should not build the system; But as a practical matter--we should realize that eventual development is almost inevitable. We would do well to concentrate on the more constructive and larger issue of how shall we control the development of the automation of all sensitive information files in order to [...] protect the rights of the individual and avoid a “1984” nation?

This may sound pessimistic, but if one can save money automating a data system it is only a matter of time until it happens. The only questions are: when and how? I would like to add the further distressing thought that we may already be well-along in the creation of the very system whose needs and dangers we are discussing today."

Advertising can help people become aware of products they never though could exist. One recent example is a baby toy that sticks onto the high chair tray with a suction cup. I bought this $10 toy from an advertisement and because my daughter loves to play with it so much, mealtimes go much faster. I have probably already recovered 20 hours of cleanup time because of this toy, and an advertisement was the only way I’d know about it.
Yes, it's common for Apple to report a bug against the app; in fact in many cases the bug has already been fixed in the latest version! But that doesn't help users who are using old versions.

Most app developers aren't going to spend resources putting out a dot release for years-old versions of their app. But users use those apps every day.

Check-fixed behavior is not a "feature," it's some sub-optimal behavior applied to work around serious bugs. An example is lying to the app about the OS version, to prevent the app from breaking. No developer wants to opt-into such behavior.

Note that check-fixes are tied to an SDK version, so when the developer switches to the newest SDK, they'll see the normal behavior.
Your concern is valid, and is the domain of anti-trust law.

I am really jealous of what the more creative/motivated kids growing up today have access to.

When I was a teenager not long ago, I was mostly motivated by cheating in games which got me learning basic scripting for keyboard/mouse macros which then led me to increasingly complicated stuff for botting.

But there are so many more motivating factors for learning how to code today, and they have never been more accessible. For example if you want porn of your high school crush? You gotta train your own deepfake for that. You will start off as a script kiddie but when you grow up you can tell people you've been training neural networks since you were 12.

Because the new owner of the property paid $850M for something that an experienced non-WeWork-affiliated landlord was ready to pay $700M for.

So, either the new owner is correct that WeWork's model is sustainable will make them 21% more profit, or they'll be hurt once they try to turn into e.g. Brookfield (or sell their property to e.g. Brookfield for a loss).

The verdict seems very consistent with the existing laws while many believe it is unfair. But these are two separate things. Workers should petition their representatives to pass laws that will help them bring fairness and the courts will then have to look at the issue freshly.

> But what happens when every company and employer has this language in their contracts? What do they lose by including the language? They lose nothing!

That is not true. Arbitration does not come free and not necessarily always in favour of the employer either. Which of the following would you prefer ?

1. Pay a monthly fee of $25 and whenever you get a traffic ticket you don't have to pay it 40% of the times.
2. Pay a traffic ticket only if you get it.

Every single car I have purchased made me sign similar agreement and I know at least one car dealer who got sued and lost pretty badly.

This is simply not true. It’s true for many branches of American government, partly due to the efforts of anti-tax advocates, but there are many highly effective governments worldwide.

This is largely an outgrowth of the used car market. People that are price sensitive tend to buy used, so car companies only survive by convincing people to make bad decisions.
I don't disagree with most of the takeaways here, but to be clear that email ban was entirely TPM's fault. They even admit to the cardinal sin of email sending: using one address for everything:

>Many of you know that we have one company email address here at TPM. It’s the one linked at the top of the site. It’s the lifeblood of the whole operation.

I also know from personal experience they used to send newsletter/marketing/transactional email from the same address, which you should never do. They probably got a little spammy with some marketing or newsletter emails and got their domain blocked by Spamhaus or another intermediary, and like every other ESP google has automated systems to blanket ban when they see you pop up in a spamhaus list. Pretty simple.

Except for Gorsuch, who is new, the same justices ruled to throw out the Voting Rights Act coverage formula because they felt the criteria set 40 years ago was too old.

Are they governed by law? I'm starting to feel that no one follows the law, or spirit of it at least, unless they have to or can write the laws themselves.

Corporations write their own laws through lobbyists and circumvent it when they can. Top secret agents don't really have anyone they are accountable to since they're so top secrete there isn't any public oversight.

For some reason the secret courts convened to check them (FISA) are just rubber stamp mills too because hey, those don't really have any oversight either.

It really doesn't seem like this stuff will get any better without a ton more oversight. It'll be interesting to see if the Japanese people are more appalled by this and more willing to stand up.

The Janus ruling will be about whether public sector unions can force government employees to pays dues to their union. If you believe this is compelled speech, it doesn't matter if there are decades of laws -- they are invalid.

There's decades of laws that made interracial marriage illegal (Loving v. Virginia), and the supreme court overruled them too. If the constitution forbids a government action then it's up to the supreme court to overrule it.

It is tempting to say that I spend many time in conscious-inactive mode, but then it heavily doesn’t add up with what you say. What is a distinct thought exactly? Do people experience a constant caleidoscope of inner images/sounds/etc? For me thinking is retrieving conceptions from subconscious and lining them up on ‘internal board’ to produce results. Another notable mode is simply recalling events (including feelings) and turning them into speech. This usually takes many seconds. Can fragmentary distractions in these processes count as thoughts? If yes, then I should agree, but I’m not sure if it’s a fair definition. That’s interesting.

I never meditated, but I can easily stare at wall clock or cursor blinking for few minutes, not experiencing inner visual or acoustic ‘things’.

Edit: btw, I began to do that after reading Colin Wilson’s “Spider World” in ‘00s, where mind control was described in a scifi series. Didn’t know it, but now looks like consciousness problems are his main interest.
A Manager’s Guide for Effectively Giving Feedback
It's called derealization, and it's a protective mechanism the brain uses to remove itself from painful stimuli, which typically manifests alongside a sense of anxiety, although obvious anxiety is not always present. Yours is likely triggered by an underlying need for control, which is usually satisfied by understanding the world around you in-depth. You can control what you can understand. When you come to a question with no satisfying answer, the sense of control is broken and your brain perceives it as a threat, which causes derealization, thereby removing the painful stimuli that the thought is causing. All of this happens at a subconscious level. Many people with PTSD have this feeling of derealization on an almost constant basis, as their brains are hypervigilant and tend to perceive harmless stimuli as potentially painful and/or threatening.
Like the other recommendations he's published, they can all be found on the "Must read" table at your local Barnes and Noble.
If the Supreme Court overrules Abood in Janus, that'll be the Court doing its job to invalidate statutes that infringing Constitutional protections.

You're reversing. Originalists says "this law's authors didn't anticipate modern conditions, so the law must not change under modern conditions"

My company recently interviewed a Theranos veteran - this person was a scientist working on a small part of the analytical pipeline. Apparently there were many, many smart people working at Theranos (including the candidate) who had no idea the company was a scam. This was in part due to intense secrecy and very rigid information silos within the company.

There’s probably a lesson to be learned there, of course - one too many “need to know basis” explanations and it’s time to start asking some hard questions.
Sure, you save a lot of money if you're pitting uber vs $50,000 of currently depreciating BMW that was bought new for $80k. If the author had bought a reasonably priced car (TM) the calculations and conclusions would likely be very different. Hell, his second car is reasonably priced (or reasonably old), but the egregiousness of the first car still invalidates all his conclusions. Had he had a reasonably priced car, there's no way uber would be cheaper.

Also... there is a severely reduced dating pool for someone actively in the middle of addiction recovery. If I had met a girl when I was single who said “I’m a recovering X addict with 32 days sober” I most likely would have not been very romantically interested.

Not sure, I've not used selection mode all the time lol. You're the one who (due to my interpretation) implied Kakoune and Vim were similar on the text selection mode.

Ie, even ignore advanced features, Kakoune fundamentally is permanently in a select->action mode, rather than vim's action->motion mode.

You replied to my comment of the reversed select->action mode that Kakoune uses saying that Vim can do the same thing with Visual Selection mode. So that's why I asked, is that something I can just work in all the time? Because with Kakoune, I am working in that all the time.

That's why I asked, because you countered saying Vim can do that, but I don't want to constantly go into visual mode. I work in Kakoune none stop like that, it's core to the editor. Can visual mode do that?

Public sector unions are nothing but trouble and every step toward their destruction is a good thing. The very idea of having organizations funded by tax dollars that subsequently influence their own regulation, pay rates, benefits, and pensions with those same tax dollars in exchange for votes from their members is ludicrous. It's the ultimate slush fund feedback loop and unless it's reigned in the rest of the tax base ends up holding the bag (or municipal bankruptcy!).

Except that would make uiPi a long double, whereas every drawing API in libui just takes a double. Now as to whether the drawing APIs should use long double instead of double, I don't know; I will say that both cairo and Quartz/Core Graphics use double, so... (And on Windows, Direct2D takes floats, so at least on that platform, it's probably not going to make a difference at all...)
Define rote: mechanical or habitual repetition of something to be learned. This is not something that is part of every day life at all. After school the only time I had to repeat something over and over with any kind of frequency at all was when I was learning vim.

> Would you prefer to have a bike that has labels on the pedals, brakes, gears; and prefer to go through those labels each the you need to use one of them?

That's not a really good analogy because my memory also works for GUI apps. However, I didn't have to use a rote method to get there. I just use the GUI with its labels and visuals helping me along the way. If I don't use something for a while, the labels and other visual elements are there to help me out.

> Memorization allows you to do things without thinking.

Yes and your memory works with GUIs too. But again, I didn't have to put myself through weeks of exercises to use a GUI.

> "not necessarily always in favour of the employer"

You're not really helping your case here if this is the strongest statement you can make in arbitration's favor – "you're not necessarily fucked!".

The New York Times ran a series about binding arbitration a while back, and a running theme was that arbitrators who repeatedly rule in favor of individuals quickly find themselves getting no more business, as you'd expect. Thus, the incentives of arbitrators are strongly skewed to favor employers (even if not at the individual level, then definitely at the ecosystem level via selection pressure) and I don't believe for a microsecond that their decisions are fair and reasonable.
