> how do you allow the passenger to choose between dozens of drivers?

Why do you expect that’s going to be hard to implement? Actual private contractors (myself included) do that all the time.

One straightforward method, a rider posts location + destination + price of the ride, accepts/declines offers from drivers based on price, vehicle model, reputation, personal preferences, etc.

Another straightforward method, a passenger posts his location + destination, drivers offer price, a passenger accepts an offer.

> The value added by these platforms is exactly that

Not “exactly that”, that’s just one part of it. Examples of e-bay or stock markets shows that an intermediary connecting buyers with sellers, processing payments, maintaining reputation of both parties, and solving disputes, can still add huge value.

> you don't need to negotiate with individual drivers to get a fare to your destination

With sufficient support from the service, the negotiation part can probably be streamlined to only take a couple of clicks/swipes. Like preference to filter drivers/riders by price or distance, ability to save routes or destinations with price information allowing for 1-click repeated orders, other convenience features.
I know that I for one steer people away from projects where serious bugs go unfixed for a long time. I have very little incentive to follow up on them once I’ve switched tools.

The correlation between bugs that matter a great deal to me and bugs I don’t respond to is much greater than zero.

If you delete all the bugs that caused people to abandon your platform then you are cutting off your own nose.

Can’t reproduce is a better metric but only if it’s other users rather than the maintainers. I find that a lot of people who write buggy code also are bad at reproducing issues (which I think is why they have bugs in the first place. Lack of imagination or rigor or both).

Stop taking such an absurdly uncharitable interpretation of what people are writing. This is HN, don't assume others are idiots and then move on from there.
Isn't this the tenth how-to-get-rich post today? I guess that's fairly standard, and I ignore them, but they're getting votes today.

I'm a little surprised that —since every other thread on HN is about hacking your diet/wardrobe/matress to counteract the crushing depression you get from your job— nobody is putting one and one together.

There is more to life than money.

I don't want to sound too hippy but there is. There is value in relaxing with friends and taking time out to raise your family, and living with clean air outside a big, machine-like-city.

The struggle to become rich is an immense burden with its own serious costs. You might make it, but I'd suggest you ignore "aspirational" money posts on HN and learn to be happy with what you have. Just strive to be good at what you do. It's not the American Dream™ but you'll get a hell of a lot more from life.
At that time, with Ebola raging in Africa, I think that there was a lot of awareness around containing it and hospitals in the USA were definitely on the lookout for it.
Given the Alexa ranking of 4chan lots of women and non white people use the site so no need to imagine it because it's happening.
Free speech is great and all, but I prefer to spend my time with people that have the wisdom to keep some thoughts to themselves, or maybe not have the thoughts in the first place. I'll probably never go on 4chan because I don't have the time or desire to have to sort through it all, not just because it is a cesspool of human indecency.

You can have lots of fun living frugal. Living frugal doesn't mean not having fun. Having fun is really cheap and free if you set your mind. Walking, hiking, bicycle ride, board & card games. Hanging out with friends at home and watching Netflix. Cooking at home and drinking at home. These are fun and cheap, the fun in it depends more so on the crowd. Going out to party can also be fun but this becomes the difference in spending $20 at home vs $200 in one night. Frugal is buying an old reliable honda/toyota for $3,000 vs picking up a $40,000 entry level benz. So what if you die before you make it? So what? We are all going to die.
/pol/ has grown a lot louder and prominent in the past few years though, to the point where even many seasoned 4chan posters are annoyed by them. "go back to /pol/" is a complaint you can now see on almost every board.
Many did not even participate, so they don't get any certificate. So its a perfectly good thing to give a participation certificate to those who are willing to join the game.

Everyone gets a participatory certificate and one person ended up becoming a winner. I don't think the winner knew upfront before the race that he would be the winner.
I'll PM you.
It's one thing to walk past homeless people in my city and not give them money, because I know that money could much more easily and effectively safe a life in malaria-ridden parts of the world.

The homeless in America live a life that's close to as miserable as the poor anywhere. One of the problem of most charities is bureaucracy eating up funds. Despite a lot of claims by bureaucracy, people who are homeless can often spend the money better on themselves than a bureaucracy.

I don't think there's any particularly good not to give to the homeless if you feel like it and have the money.

Q: Seeing as we are almost 10 years into a bull market, would you be willing to share some of your big Economic and Investment Principles so that average folks can be protected during the inevitable bear market?

A: Think about how to rotate your portfolio to buy that which is cheap and sell that which is expensive.

Q: o you have any rules for segmenting your schedule (is there a specific allocated amount of time for personal, family, or business) and if so, what does that look like?

A: If you have my book Principles, there’s one about this idea, Prioritize: While you can have virtually anything you want, you can’t have everything you want.

Q: What is the number 1 thing a young investor can do to improve their investing abilities?

A: Dive into the markets, have the shit kicked out of you, and learn how to do things differently.

Yea no shit, great "advice".
I just came back from the valley, and I get that the american society and infrastructure is encouraging the to use a car. Like Australia.

I also get that, living in a city in France, it's easier to avoid having a car.

yet I note that you could have a motorbike. You could not have kids. You could move close to your work. You could move in an area requiring less car. You could change your job to one not needing a car. You could bike. You could care pool with friends/neighbors/coworkers. You could use public transports. Etc.

But the car is an important artifact of the american culture. You kinda build the country around it, not the other way around.
I find that to be an added benefit.
There are tons of people who spent their money living it up and got old and are really struggling and having difficult times with tons of regrets. I suspect more than those who saved and died young.
Sure, I’ll argue that. “Special interests” is just code for “people whose opinions I don’t like.” But at the end of the day, our government very closely reflects what you’d expect. If you account for the fact that likely voters skew richer, older, and more conservative than the population as a whole, what exactly do you think would be different if “special interests” were not in charge? Would we spend less on defense? 1 in 3 Americans say we don’t spend enough. Would we spend less on social security, more, etc?
@jstewartmobile Thanks for you comments!

On "trajectory", books like "The Pleasure Trap" and "Supernormal Stimuli" discuss the theme of our scarcity-shaped inclinations being out-of-date for our world of abundance.

The Pleasure Trap in particular was the first book I read that for me connected health issues to scarcity/abundance themes.

Or also "Wired Child: Reclaiming Childhood in a Digital Age" and "The War Play Dilemma" specifically on media and kids.

And also Paul Graham on "The Acceleration of Addictiveness": http://www.paulgraham.com/addiction.html

Or on insights from "Rat Park" about how social isolation and excess stress are the cause of most addictive behavior:

What to do about that is a big challenge though... There are some ideas in those various resources.
Yes. You were lucky to be born into a family with money to invest and to grow up with a father around. Not everyone has those advantages.

This 10% is due to some aliasing optimizations that haven't been added to the compiler yet, at least for the differential equations code we've looked at. But now that the compiler guys have some more free time...
"Norm" is probably more than two cars. I have a 17 year-old. When he gets his license, we have a car waiting for him (OK: it needs a bunch of repairs, but whatever). Right now, it's a pain in the ass to drive him places (like to & from work).

In my neck of the woods, the average is probably 4-6 cars per family.

There's a couple key points that I think help bridge the gap of understanding between these two points of view about Hard Work vs Luck (and I'll completely ignore things like existing advantages of birth/wealth, and coercion, as those points are really separate):

1) Hard Work is enabling factor for "luck", just like being born under the right circumstances is. Hard work does pay off, and thus it's valid to say "hard work helped me get here". What we're calling "luck" isn't a purely random roll of the dice. Working hard tilts the odds of good luck much further in your favor.

2) While Hard Work enables better statistical odds at the luck game, you have to be careful to understand that it's still just statistical odds in a luck game, and that structurally there can only be a small percentage of people who "win". If every single person worked equally (very) hard, the luck advantage of working hard would diminish to zero, and only luck (remember we're ignore other factors like wealth/coercion) would remain to differentiate the small percentage of winners. Because wealth is pretty much defined as having more than someone else (or else pricing/inflation will just readjust everyone back to the norm), not everyone can have more than the average. This is what blows a hole in the idea that anyone can work hard in order to achieve success. Anyone can work hard to increase their odds, but the odds are small without other advantages, and many may work hard and still fail.
By any reasonable standards he should have been, the mistake was expecting reasonable standards.
> Even within the artificial confines of the simulation, there was a lack of leadership. Everyone agreed that the President had the final word on everything in general, but nobody seemed to be responsible for America’s outbreak response specifically. The table returned endlessly to questions about who would brief Congress; who would be capable of authorizing an emergency deployment of military tents as civilian isolation units; who would call state governors to try to ensure a coördinated national response; and who, even, would attend all the funerals.
There is a reasonable-to-read paper [0] that explains everything; I will only share a few responses to your concerns.

"Our puny brains" have no problem constructing O(n^100) or similarly-ridiculous problems. Here is an informal survey [1] of several good examples. In my previous message, I indicated that matrix multiplication and CFG parsing are good examples; they are both cubic-time but we have come up with even cheaper algorithms for special cases, like sparse matrices or LR(k) grammars.

Whether P equals NP is not only a fundamental question, but it's the first of infinitely-many questions about the "polynomial hierarchy" or PH, a tower of ever-more-complex classes. And part of why the question is so important is that deciding whether P=NP is actually a problem in a higher rung of another complexity class further up in PH! P!=NP is like the first of an infinite family of very very difficult meta-proofs about complexity.

"RSA wouldn't break" because PRIMES is already known to be in P, via a famous paper titled "PRIMES is in P", and RSA keys are already sized to have impractical exponents.

What P=NP implies is much more powerful. First, let's consider the actual cost of a poly-time reduction. P is self-low, which means that P with a P oracle is equivalent to P. So if P=NP, then the cost of a poly-time reduction can be rolled in, and the entire problem is still in P.

Now, which problems would be transformable via P=NP? Well, we typically assume that the solution would include a poly-time reduction for 3SAT instances into some P-complete problem. Okay, great. However, we know that 3SAT can't be transformed opaquely; if this transformation exists, it must be able to examine and specialize the structure within each specific 3SAT instance. So we'd get one powerful theorem about logic (specifically, about SAT). But that wouldn't be the end.

We'd also get transformations for the following NP-complete problems, and each transformation would embody a free theorem about the nature of the structure of all instances of the problem ([2] for a bigger list):

* Graph theory: CLIQUE, HAMILTONIAN, K-COLORING (faster compilers!), COVER

* Number theory: TSP (faster packet routing!), KNAPSACK, SUBSET-SUM, PARTITION

* Formal systems: BOUNDED-POST-CORRESPONDENCE (holy shit, bounded Turing-complete analysis in P!?)

That's some serious free theorems! There's no reason to expect that whatever would give us so much stuff for free would be easy to prove. In fact, it's quite the opposite: The fact that any NP-complete problem, if it yielded, would give us deep insight into all of the others, should give us extreme pause before hoping that P=NP.

From what I can see /pol/ in particular is extremely popular and massively influential in the promotion of shockingly vile politics of a sort that until recently I've never encountered anywhere even close to the mainstream.

It is my understanding that it was created as a containment board, but it's popularity and relative power has soured me on the whole site.

Here's the problem: /pol/ gets so much traffic that I can't imagine that its visitors do not cover a fairly broad subset of 4chan's entire user base. This means that if I contribute to any of the other boards I am contributing in some way to the intellectual capital pool drawn upon by the sorts of people who hang out in /pol/.

No thanks.

I'm not the only person who feels this way. I've heard others say this kind of thing too. There's a lot of people who once visited the site who no longer do so. Boards like /pol/ seem to be killing 4chan as anything other than a more Internet-cool satellite of Stormfront.
