> The description that General Relativity puts forth ... needs to be augmented to include an uncertain position that has a probability distribution to it.

i am sorry but 'needs' is too strong here

quantisation(o) was established before, necessarily so, probability was introduced to explain the behaviour of electromagnetic phenomena

to claim that probability is necessary for quantisation seems to have it reversed

the current understanding is both unknown whether gravity is quantised but also whether probability is necessary to describe quantum behaviour

with current understanding the only thing one can say with certainty is that requiring probability is a result of the math used to best model quantum behaviour of electromagnetic phenomena, namely fourier analysis(i)

It's pretty easy. Hacker News seems to think Google seems pretty fair, since we're all "everything is biased and the filter bubble is inescapable, oh, wait, are we talking about Google? Things are great and the government is persecuting them." Hacker News is on the left side of the US as a whole and extremely hostile to Republicans in general and Trump specifically. If HN thinks Google is fair, that's nearly ipso facto proof it's quite substantially biased.

Silicon Valley's lack of ideological diversity is a big problem for them. I don't mean from the point of view of being right or wrong in that ideology, I mean from the point of view of looking out at the rest of the world and modeling their reactions and what they're going to do. Even if the ideology embodied by Silicon Valley is the universe's sole, shining example of true truth and nothing else is even close, they're still going to find themselves having an increasingly difficult time navigating or even understanding the rest of the world, if they can't tolerate any other ideologies within themselves to give them those other perspectives on the world. Diversity really is important.
That sort of behavior tends to get selected out over time.

Generally when women feel like they have the option to do so, they tend to delay marriage and have fewer children.

This is good for personal comfort, but less good for societal survival. The Roman situation the sibling commenter mentioned is relevant, as is a comparative analysis of birthrates worldwide.

I was interested in trying out fbs as I've always had many problems trying to get an executable build for Windows. I tried the simplest example he shows, but after running 'freeze' command I get a LookupError saying it can't find msvcr110.dll. Some investigation later, I install said dll from microsoft, and try again. It builds to exe now, so I go into the build folder and try to run it and just get a crash dialog.

Arbiter bias is one of the very few areas in which you can sue to throw out an arbitration award. The entire legality of forced arbitration is predicated on the arbiter being unbiased.

The company absolutely has an interest in not choosing the arbiter, instead contracting out that choice to some respected third party. Corporations win more frequently in arbitration because you are required to do work, you are required to be prepared, you don't have unlimited resources at your disposal, and you don't get to go on a fishing expedition in the form of lawsuit discovery.
Government employee unions are the most powerful unions in America. They can choose not to educate society’s children to be paid more. That is a lot of power.
Yup I actually only prefer to work with people that have been laid off before. People that have never been laid off are more likely to be the "Look boss I worked till 3am to finish your stupid project" types.

So basically like recurrent charity? Interesting idea.
Married people sharing a household retain more of their income (so have more money) than non-married people who are each managing their expenses.

Many bills (like utilities) often have a base component and a variable component, you pay only one base component if you live in the same house.

Rents for two studio apartments are greater than the rents for a single bedroom apartment, two one bedroom apartments go for more than one 2 bedroom apartment. A chunk of that is the shared square footage of bathrooms, kitchen, Etc.

Food costs in bulk are lower than food costs in single serving quantities. It is more cost effective to cook for two than it is to cook for one (save on energy costs and food)

Yes, being married (not having kids), will give you access to more money than you would have if you remain single.

Although different substance, I'm a heavy smoker and moderation has always proved impossible.

I've kicked the habit once by NRT and once cold turkey. I'd gone well long enough for any physical withdrawal symptoms (many months).

Both times, I thought just one wouldn't hurt, socially. Both times I started right back up again.

There was a time I could smoke socially. I know people who did that and then went on to live a smoke free life. On the flip side, I've known smokers go years without and just one "oh go on then" hooked them right back on it.

So if nicotine addiction is anything to go by, it would be possible in other addictions too. Unfortunately, the only alcoholics I knew lost their battle and never achieved any semblance of sobriety. They were both at a point where the withdrawal would kill them without clinical supervision.
Is Shazam really ML/AI/DL? I thought it was more of a signal processing and search engine system. You transform snippets of audio signals into text, pump it into a distributed database, and then perform a search against that.

Agreed, but I am not sure how receptive small cars are in the Americas just from a practicality point of view. I've sat in many vans/sedans and they feel much more cramped. My family tends to have a significantly smaller frame and we still feel cramped. I cannot imagine a typical American family fitting comfortably in there for a 10+ hr roadtrip.

What about the time that workers were literally gunned down for not allowing themselves to be taken advantage of. Once you look at historical examples, these crazy things people are saying end up being less crazy than what historically has happened.

So, what happens when a worker signs such an agreement and it is upheld under arbitration?

I think the reason why Uber and Lyft drivers won't unionize is because there's little incentive for them do do so.

Not that many drivers actually drive full-time for a living. A lot of them are just temps. They do some driving on the weekend to make some extra money, they're doing it temporarily while they're between jobs, and so on. If they get fed up with Uber and Lyft, they'd be more likely to just walk away than fight.

Case in point: I rode with one guy a few months ago who was on paternity leave... he took up Lyft driving because his wife had no paid maternity leave so he drove during his three months paid paternity leave to make up for the family missing out on his wife's income for a few months. Once his wife is working again, he's done driving.

And we're also, as a society, at a point where service jobs are almost fungible. If McDonald's fires you, you can get a job at Taco Bell. Even the same kind of service job doesn't matter. If you get tired of Uber jerking you around, you can find a restaurant and become a waiter. None of the skills involved in these jobs are particularly hard to train for. Every service job is going to require that you have basic customer service skills, and you can take those from job to job. Driving is a fundamental skill in most of America; if you can drive a car and understand Google Maps, you have the skills to drive for Uber or Lyft. For other service jobs, you don't need years of experience to take people's orders at a counter, scan groceries, or do tier 1 customer support.

When unions first came to prominence, we had an industrial economy, not a service-based one. Chances are, you lived in a small town where there was just one factory, and the town probably only exists because of the factory. If you got fired, you were screwed. If the factory closed, everyone in town was screwed. And if you've been working with the same specialized proprietary factory equipment for years, it's going to take a long time to re-train you on another factory's equipment, so that's another disincentive to switching jobs. Hence unions.

tl;dr Service workers, including Uber and Lyft drivers, don't unionize because losing your job doesn't mean that you and your family are hopelessly screwed.

Tracking Over 2M ICE Arrests: A First Look
Marriage as an institution:
- There is stigma attached to divorce. Not as much as their used to be but it's definitely more "jaw dropping" than breaking up with someone you're simply "dating"
- Aside from common law marriage there are more financial impacts to divorce
- Divorce requires social and/or legal rituals in order to dissolve the union. Regular dating just requires "I'm breaking up with you" and moving out if living together. It's much less formal.

These are just off the top of my head. Marriage as an institution definitely does raise the bar relative to dating in how stressful mentally and financially dissolution of a relationship is.
And that bar is: approval by the prosecutorial authority and judiciary. If the right judges are chosen, the executive branch can prosecute and convict a ham sandwich.
But there is nothing special about Uber, or the arbitration clause, or the contract in this regard. So why is the headline written as it is and why are you insisting on this way of framing the argument. You are choosing to characterize the normal enforcement of contract law as something extraordinary and by the choice of words framing this as something that is unfair. At least that is how I interpret your wording and how I also interpreted the headline.

The fact that this particular contract involves Uber and drivers and an arbitration clause is irrelevant to the larger idea that contracts are indeed enforceable. That shouldn't really be news.

I use it for git repo management on some of my home things. Have not used it for much outside of that.
That's only true for contracts between businesses and consumers, or generally contracts not involving any businesses.

In a B2B contract like between Uber and its drivers, the contract is whatever the parties agree to (as long as there aren't any unlawful provisions), even if there does not appear to be a roughly equal deal.
Right now I use it for encrypted file storage and private git repositories that I don't want anyone looking at. I don't have 100% trust in the security of the platform, but I prefer it to Dropbox or Google Drive where the probability of someone snooping around my files seems higher.
You can ask Siri what the song is. One UI flaw is that music app is open or playing on your phone, she will name the active track. Otherwise, she will say ‘Listening...’ and then identify the song and artist, I think with iTunes links (or course!).

Very interesting. https://www.aixam.com/en/range/discover/legislation has some legal background. Is there anything similar in the US? Brings to mind some retirement communities such as Celebration, FL, where golf carts apparently outnumber cars. IMO it ought be much harder to get and keep a license to drive a full-speed vehicle than it is. The availability of slower and smaller cars that may be driven without a license might make this more feasible.

> Well, freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences

When the government is the agent of "consequences", that's exactly what freedom of speech is.
> Well, freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences. While the Government cannot police google's speech, it can certainly break it up with anti-monopoly laws.

Does the first amendment prevent the government from using economic regulations to punish political speech by companies?

There's actually a lot of SCOTUS case law on this question. Including very recent cases, such as http://www.scotusblog.com/2018/06/opinion-analysis-court-rul...

> But the critical question of when and how Phillips’ right to exercise his religion can be limited had to be determined, Kennedy emphasized, in a proceeding that was not tainted by hostility to religion. Here, Kennedy observed, the “neutral and respectful consideration to which Phillips was entitled was compromised” by comments by members of the Colorado Civil Rights Commission. At one hearing, Kennedy stressed, commissioners repeatedly “endorsed the view that religious beliefs cannot legitimately be carried into the public sphere or commercial domain, implying that religious beliefs and persons are less than fully welcome in Colorado’s business community.

Similar standards are applied elsewhere; e.g., local govt's limiting assembly (e.g. requiring permits) or speech (eg in council meetings) is, in general, acceptable. But only if those restrictions are applied without ideological/religious bias. Ditto for schools.

If the executive branch systematically communicated that it was breaking up Google because of ideological disagreements between the ruling political party and Google's executive team, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see SCOTUS slap down that enforcement action.

COO and CEO are both positions of people who make decisions about the direction and conduct of the company. Those are people useful to question.

Kent Walker is their head lawyer ("CLO") and head of PR ("SVP of Global Affairs"). His sole job is to help the actual decisionmakers get away with whatever they decided to do. No matter how many titles they give him, offering to send him will never be more than a literal slap in the face.

> Any employee dissatisfied can find a new job.

That's a presidentially arrogant statement to make, particularly in the middle of a discussion regarding the gig economy.

> The public typically perceives a low unemployment rate as reassuring because it suggests that everyone who wants a job has one. But the broader set of jobs data suggests that’s not the case. ”As usual, the consequences of truly no growth in the labor market leaves particularly politicians to emphasize nothing other than the unemployment rate,” Snider says.

Some jobs are viable at $8 /hr but not $15 /hr so the business have to eliminate positions to stay solvent. That means someone who could have taken the lower paying job now has no job at all.

Also, inflation. When everyone is making at least $15 /hr then that $15 means less than it used to. All costs of goods go up to match the new supply of "wealth". Burger flippers make $15 /hr but burgers now cost $10.

In more meta terms: manipulating the market is never easy if it's possible to do successfully at all.
LogP was based mostly on experiences in analyzing and working with parallel machines in the 1990s, best summarized in Culler, Singh, and Gupta's book "Parallel Computer Architecture: A Hardware/Software Approach". The model was based upon lessons learned from trying to build fast message layers for those machines. The influence was mostly aimed at the software layers of those machines, which led to Active Messages, U-Net, and related low-overhead messaging layers; less influential upon architectures, I would think.

Interesting - I noticed recently, for the first time, that when I modified a 'fastest' proposed route using local knowledge, I found the predicted time dropped, and that has happened several time since.

This may be the result of better predictive modeling, and particularly in recognizing that dumping a lot of traffic into a low-capacity route is pointless. It is probably also a political response to the fact that residential areas don't like having a lot of traffic routed through them, and are pressing for the power to regulate it.

Better predictions could also explain toast0's observations even when global optimization is not being attempted.

Mice on PCs had multiple buttons before Windows 95 came along to sometimes gave that right mouse button a purpose.

Despite the fact that there was zero indication that right clicking a particular thing in Windows 95 might actually do something, and the fact that there was always an alternative way to access that information or function for those who only had a one button mouse, we managed to adopt the right click functionality anyway.

Force touch is no more a secret than the adoption of the right mouse button was in Windows 95.

Interesting. I have a bunch of private notes on the subject from when I was last playing with startup ideas. The biggest hurdle I kept hitting was differentiating the startup within the calendar space, because it is a pretty well saturated space with a lot of entrenched players. (Similarly as bad as the Mail space, if not worse, just as we've seen several apps exit these past couple of weeks. Though some of those efforts have exited well for the startup founders, so that's an issue more for the overly conservative "local" VCs I was curious if I could get to invest, when I was putting my notes together…)

The partial pivot to automating web meetings is a neat idea, but the immediate concern I would see there is that now you're fighting two fairly heavily entrenched spaces, calendars and web meetings. Twice the battle fronts might mean twice the opportunities to exit, but it also might mean twice the opportunities to be out-competed/exhausted?
