Price check saved me $16 on my ride to the airport last month. Now I always compare under and Lyft bids before selecting my ride.
Simultaneously, they undercut local merchants and annihilate the local/municipal economy. They are able to utilize profit extracted elsewhere to decrease the activity of the local economy for their benefit, and they should be taxed by the local community on this differential. Here's a good read on the topic: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/aug/13/dollar-gene...
I personally haven’t experienced any of that nonsense using Lyft. Your mileage may vary. But here in NYC, Uber’s reputation has fallen considerably.
It's still a race to the bottom.
Attracting businesses with tax-exempts is a zero-sum game.

> - or even better, a used Thinnkpad + Linux which would be better than almost anything for 1/2 the cost.

I do have a Thinkpad (running NixOS), however the battery life sucks. 2 hours for P71 (or 4 hours for X1C6). And hardware support is not perfect (I simply cannot figure out yet how to connect my Bose QC headphones via bluetooth).

So I have high hopes for chromebooks (like Pixel Slate) because then you can have best of the both worlds.

The year of Linux desktop is arriving, but not as directly as we have all thought it would.
The gov's job is to govern. Period. How about we let it get that right before it starts branching off into things it's has little or no expertise in.

Again. The gov created the housing bubble __and__ the student loan bubble. I don't say they should be in the job buying biz. __The Gov__ has said that. Whether you're listening or not is up to you.
They had pascal and friends, didn't they? Which are safer, safe-ish, right? But I guess today you could eat the cost of automatically inserted runtime checks on software designed to push the limits of 30yo hardware. Still won't fly for Linux or embedded systems...

You just said it yourself - infinite space but finite mass. "Life" by most definitions is made of mass, not space.

Claiming infinite space has infinite possibilities for life is quite literally a Celestial Teapot argument.
I've suggested to the tax assessor that I'd be happy to sell my property to him at significantly less than the value he assessed it at. He was not amused, but I did get the assessed value lowered.

I'd vote for a system where the government was obliged to purchase property at a 25% discount to what they assessed it at, if the owner chooses to sell it.
It was orchestrated on 'WhatsApp' as it is the current most popular IM application. Had Line or Telegram been the most popular ones, those platforms would have been used.

These are just tools of the trade - which in this case was probably some local politics. Today, when more and more such tools are available with instant communication to a large audience, having an educated opinion and thought about the incoming communication (messages, memes or videos, etc.) is more important. Unfortunately, that is way more easily said than done.

With all the media already causing severe cognitive load, giving a thorough thought to something you come across becomes even more difficult, especially when just reacting to it is so much more simpler.

This applies not only to WhatsApp or FB, but the numerous online platforms that have a wide reach.

I’m sorry, but the only way you are correct is if I somehow clicked a prompt to reinstall candy crush whilst interacting with a full screen application.

I, manually; removed candy crush. (Months And months prior)

Candy crush was automatically reinstalled, with a notification, without me initialising it. There was no manual action taken by me except that to close the notification (from notification centre) that it had been reinstalled.

This reinstallation happened within the last 6 months.

Happy to try review audit logs when I am, once again; logistically able.

As noted; I have barely touched this asset since (for unrelated logistical reasons - I’m about 150kms away from it, and it is powered down).. so confident the logs would exist.

This. Walmart might be evil but it's a godsend if you're poor. $1.28 bread. $16.97 jeans. A lot of people wouldn't have the standard of living they do if it weren't for the big box stores using economics of scale to make goods available at razor thin margins.

Wealthy people benefit too. Just last week my water heater started leaking. My girlfriend turned it off but I wasn't able to get home and assess the situation until ~6pm. Well by then most traditional plumbing supply places are closed. Enter Home Depot. Long story short I was able to choose from 5+ models of water heater buy one that was almost a dimensional replica of my leaking one, everything I needed to install it at ~7pm on a weeknight. Your local plumbing supply store that caters to tradesmen probably isn't open past 6.
It is a quandary, I'll concede that. It's a tough problem, and we need to come up with a solution.

However, trying to live without the moderating influence that Walmart has on the ravages of inequality is a worse problem than trying to figure out how to get infrastructure paid for.
Writing functional tests is easy when you have a clear spec. If you do, tests are basically the expression of that spec in code. Conversely, if they're hard to write, that means that your spec is underspecified or otherwise deficient (and then, as a developer, ideally, you go bug the product manager to fix that).

I still have plenty of reasons to communicate with the drivers. From giving more specific information about where I'd like to be dropped off, asking if they can make a detour, talking to them when they call me because I'm at a busy pick-up spot like a festival that just let out, saying hi, etc.

Lately in Guadalajara, police have been unfairly cracking down on Uber drivers even thought it's legal (they're in bed with the taxistas), pulling them over for things like not having a baby seat (???). And I've had to communicate with most drivers through the app so we can arrange a more low-key pickup away from the police hotspots.

Besides, I'm human. I don't mind talking to others. Maybe it's because I'm 30 and part of the old guard now, but talking to another human isn't the worst thing in the world.
Interesting! That’s new to me, and honestly a benefit in places like SF, where dropping someone off or picking someone up at a specific address might involve numerous annoying loops / turns around one way streets, where the passenger could just make everyone else’s life easier and walk a block or two.

This feels like a positive change as long as weather isn’t a huge concern.

Sure, the last 5 years of National TV Stations here in Spain talking about Venezuela 24/7h just didn't happen.

You mean the PP too?
https://www.google.es/amp/s/m.publico.es/espana/gobierno-raj...

Also, yes, we're not in bad terms with Venezuela. That's basically our policy with S. America, to try to be friends with everyone. Heck, even Franco was friends with Castro. This type of policy goes a long time ago and it's not because "we are socialist sympathisers".

>The left-leaning media has, for the most part, ignored the topic (El Pais for one...),

https://elpais.com/tag/venezuela/a

"Sure".

>despite the increasing number of Venezuelan asylum-seekers arriving in Spain each year

Yes, those poor, poor migrants.

https://www.eleconomista.es/construccion-inmobiliario/notici...

Most of them sadly (even the poor ones) don't give a fuck about Venezuela once they're here, because come on, will you really want to go back to a shithole vs one of the best countries in Europe in regard to quality of life and such?

>and any meaningful efforts to boycott anything would need the media/government's support.

Indeed. But not only "media" and "government" also other parties, like PP or Ciudadanos, which remind us of how bad Venezuela (because that filthy podemita is gonna expropriate your house, just like it has happened in Madrid with Carmena or in Valencia with Joan Ribó) but are yet to pretty much do nothing about it even when they were in power.

This particular windows 10 experience is from an upgrade method. Quite confident I toggled appropriate settings off - but I have done so many deploys / upgrades personally and professionally - perhaps I missed something on this asset?

Either way; I state my experience with the platform.
> "Abatements are not gifts, they are reductions."

Yes. But you make it sounds like the gov services being provided was also reduced. Is that the case? If not, then that means the services being provided still have to be paid for. So if it's not your community, then where do you think that money is coming from?
It should be noted that there is currently no public case-law on whether warrant canaries are actually legal. So really, until this topic goes before a court in a benchmark case, your guess is as good as mine.

I agree there are several theoretical reasons why warrant canaries might actually be a useful tool, but it's just as likely that intentionally constructing a scenario where you are implicitly telling people about a gag order through a bunch of hurdles would not be considered following the spirit of the law.

For instance, if you get an NSL you can't tell your family about it. When going to see your lawyer, you need to omit the reason why you're seeing a lawyer -- which is basically de-facto requiring you to actively lie to your family (because "I can't tell you why I'm seeing my lawyer" is arguably code for "I have received an NSL" if your family is aware that you might get an NSL one day).

I personally think this is massively unjust (and in Australia, we have explicit laws to disallow speaking about the existence or non-existence of any such secret warrants -- which makes even attempting to set up a warrant canary a crime with a minimum 2 year sentence).
It's utterly unrealistic for (IMO) probably 75+% of development jobs. The world runs on mountains of software that isn't sexy and that very few if any people are truly enthusiastic about.

> I can't even tell you how many connectivity and graphics technologies MS launched, I developed on, and then they abandoned.

How many of these technologies still function on Windows 10? As far as I know many of their abandoned platforms are still fully functional. Even in Windows 10 you can still install 16-bit apps. They've always been dedicated to compatibility... try running a few year old app on a modern smartphone and you'll see the difference.
https://appleinsider.com/articles/18/08/13/apple-appeals-aga...

To be fair, another source says it’s unclear if that is $200 or $200M which is a big difference.

Apple does pay $56M in property taxes per year in Santa Clara county and is the largest property tax payer in a county that includes Google. If property taxes there are 1%, that would mean $5.6B in assessed value.
thank you for defining that. i was wondering about that term.

it made me think the planet was also in Earth's temperature range. but it's not. it orbits so far from Barnard that it's very cold and unlikely to have any liquid water. and they can say only that it's "potentially" rocky (so therefore also potentially gaseous?).

it doesn't seem very much like earth.
Deep Learning Without Frameworks
What others haven't mentioned and I think is important is that active noise canceling headphones don't try modify your incoming audio. They listen to the outside environment and try to cancel external audio that you'd otherwise hear. For example, listening to a podcast on a noisy bus ride.

This sort of noise canceling tries to remove the unwanted noise that is already mixed in with the wanted sound in the same recording. For example, recording a podcast on a noisy bus ride.

When Hospitals Merge to Save Money, Patients Often Pay More
I've been extremely poor most of my life. I've been homeless. And neither of our personal anecdotes have any bearing on the reason why the drug war began.

I suggest checking out The Emperor Wears No Clothes for a background behind the start of drug prohibition as a new way to discriminate and make use of bolstered police forces after the failure of alcohol prohibition, as well as prevent the disruption of several entrenched industries.

It's a short read, extremely informative, and it's available freely online here: https://jackherer.com/emperor-3/

> Go be genuinely poor, it's really easy to do. Just use a tiny amount of money to live off of. And see if it causes you to commit crimes.

That's not the correct way to look at it.

We are artificially creating crimes from things which shouldn't be illegal and which infringe upon basic freedoms, and then creating the conditions that lead to people committing those "crimes".

"Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime," as Beria says. The Drug War is a tool to, among other things, benefit the new tax-supported slave trade disguised as a private industrial prison system. Affluent citizens are usually able to circumvent the system, as designed, and thus these laws are able to discriminate against the poor while seeming "fair".
> I repeat: voters do what's in their own best interest.

I disagree with this somewhat, and the reason is because some ballots have an option to vote for one party across the board, and people do that. Parties choose their candidates, therefore parties are telling people, who have the option of voting on their favorite color, who to vote for.

If you align yourself with one of the two big parties in the US, you're almost always going to vote for whatever they tell you to (of course there are exceptions, but I'm speaking generally). Generally people believe the party they like is acting in their best interest (because why else would they like it), and now we've come full circle. Ralph was not a member of one of the two major political parties.

That said, I agree with the rest of your comment.
Mozilla is not allowed to get away with being a little bit shady because they ultimately have good intention.

The fact that GCP doesn't have IPv6 yet (except for load balancers) is insane.

I have to disagree that the town's have been breaking the law. You can criticize their choice of comparable properties but it doesn't strike me as illegal or necessarily dishonest. However it seems like maybe we need an entirely new way to valuate these properties...

When a home is assessed we look at similar houses (similar in size, number of bathrooms, garage, etc.) These are features that have teal and tangible value for people in the market for a home. People agree these are valuable things.

It sounds like much of the value of these properties isn't really part of the properties themselves. Instead we're seeing the value in the I improvements to the property _around_ the store: what was once empty land now has a four lane road, electric lines and other utilities constructed solely to support these stores. Is it fair to turn around and argue that this value isn't enjoyed by these big box stores?

That seems to be their logic: the Home Depot has value, but not much: it's a shoddy square box full of shelves. Yet the municipality spent a lot of money on infrastructure to support this store that they can't afford without these taxes.
There's a name I only just discovered!

A friend had a Nancy Silverton pizza while in LA a couple of months ago and raved about it (she usually doesn't rate pizza highly for some strange reason), so we followed her recipe for pizza dough: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/10/nancy-silvertons...

It was the first time I've ever made 'bread' and been happy with the result - it was some of the best pizza I've ever had. I almost makes me want to try making a sourdough again but I don't eat a lot of bread these days.

As someone who works with speech content, this seems unusual. Typically, low frequencies are reduced because there's not much useful voice signal there—for example, NPR typically rolls off frequencies below 250 Hz.

> but is this really a wealth transfer from the poor to the rich? Doesn't most tax revenue in the US come from the rich, meaning they're covering most of the bill?

Doesn't matter where tax money came from, that part we are not changing. What changes is where that money goes. It could pay for schools, Medicaid, homeless shelters. Now there is going to be less of that, as we are building a helipad for Bezos with some of that money instead.

Which is why it's a wealth transfer towards the rich.

This is pretty standard marketing and you see it a ton with insurance companies. They gamify their service to increase spending and decrease the number of users leaving for a different platform. I wonder how effective this will be for preventing users from using both apps to find the lowest price.
I mean, if you owned a cafe or a pub where angry mobs were organizing their campaigns of terror on the local population I don't think it would be out of line to ask you to perhaps reconsider allowing the mob to meet on your premises. Even if terrorizing the local population is just part of "the human condition."
And now big box retailers have moved from being an indirect threat to the city to a direct threat. Treat them as such. They are an enemy to a community and to a city.

Thanks for the ancedata, my personal ancedata for many years of living in NYC is:

Cabs:

* Cars regulated by state.

* Usually cheaper than Uber rides (in my experience always).

* Know the city like the back of their hand.

* Can file a complaint directly with the state or cab company.

* Accountable through a taxi license.

* Won't defraud you with bogus cleaning fees.

Uber:

* Been in two minor car accidents due to driver switching between Waze and GMaps to find the route or just constantly fiddling with their phone.

* Had an Uber driver show up in a car that looked nearly totaled. Passenger side door was nonfunctional due to damage.

* Poorly maintained cars operated around the clock by operators than get virtually no sleep due to an unlivable wage.

* Had a driver travel at high speeds in poor conditions while talking about how they only get a couple of hours a sleep a night and manipulating their phone.

* Many drivers clearly living in their car, undergarments and clothes on front passenger seat.

* Uncomfortably hit on my girlfriend 100% of the time if she is alone.

* Driver complaints often ignored / go into the corporate void.

This is why we don't trust ancedata.
