Isn't it obvious? Germany is a respected western country, what goes there must be OK, even if not according to other western country's laws. And surely there are sanity checks at place there. Angola, on the other hand, is a poor developing country in third world and that just signals that something nefarious is going on. The participants probably felt doing stuff there would have no such sanity checks and it would also taint their reputation.

Even in the event that a browser ships a buggy date picker, at least it would be buggy on every website. The user then has a chance of understanding the bug and working around it to input the correct date.

For a long time, PayPal was the fastest way to accept credit cards. You could sign up for an account practically instantly vs finding a merchant bank account, a credit card processor, and a third company to interface with you and your processor via the Internet.

And the fees are at least towards the bottom of entry level fees with the traditional method, if not lower. Nowadays there are many more options (ex Stripe, Amazon payments, Google payments, probably more), so maybe pick the one or two that are the least terrible, until you have enough volume to get a better deal?
Which advertising company oversold you their targeted ads? And how did you find out (how much did it cost) it was not true to the extend you believed?
You say that because you don't understand how photographic apparatus works.

magnum photographers didn't had "awful" lenses, the lenses they had were incredible for the time and still today they are incredible and a used 50mm Leica lens from 50 years ago is still worth more than an entire iPhone today, new iPhone.

And that's if they were using the "amateur" 35mm film, medium format (120mm), was even better.

What they lacked in technological sophistication, they compensated in just BIG FAT glass and BIG FAT photosensitive area compared to a phone today, and less versatility (no zoom, e.g., no through the lenses focusing, e.g.)

You really don't understand, tech can do many things, but it can't surpass physics.
Citymapper[1] will do that to a certain extent and it’s pretty good, especially with docked bikes.

I wish I could tell it I like walking more than catching a connecting bus, so I’m occasionally working on a side project to allow custom routes for common commutes.

Slightly off topic. I took a Uber ride recently that took the worse route. It went thru many small streets that were full of snow. Cars could not pass each other. They had to slow down for safely. Maybe its a good shortcut in the summer.

Some of Hollywood, such as Stanley Kubrick, did know how to play chess. It is a pity that that no longer seems to be the case.

You’re the second person to latch on to a single sentence fragment, unfortunately without the context about sugar and protein content. As far as religion goes, what percentage of current “alt-milk” consumption do you think is religiously motivated? A rounding error? A rounding error of a rounding error? Less?

> They obviously showed a lot of meticulously mated actual 3D components but those were all prepared in a CAD program.

Do you have any reference for that?

If so, they wouldn't need gravity sketch at all. The most popular CAD programs already have VR support:

Rhino -> https://www.mindeskvr.com/

Maya -> https://www.marui-plugin.com

3dsMax -> 3dsMax Interactive (Autodesk)

Blender -> https://github.com/MARUI-PlugIn/BlenderXR
Because they provide security for the users.

With paypal, I can buy from any random sellers, and know that in the worst case, I am risking just a purchase amount.

Security is hard, and even if someone makes great products, that does not mean they are great programmers. For a small or a medium store, I always assume that their website will be hacked and entire database will be stolen (it is really sad how often this happens). Entering credit card directly just means more problems for me down the line.

This means some sort of trusted checkout service. Stripe has no extra security, so this leaves Paypal or Google Checkout. I think the latter has died (I have not seen it for a while), so this leaves Paypal.
Don't forget when EA couldn't even spell their own name correctly, and made a folder named "Electrontic Arts".
> equity and accessibility

People with disabilities(especially electric wheelchairs).

Uber currently has a service in some markets:
https://www.uber.com/ride/uberwav/

Many people with disabilities depend on municipal "paratransit". For example this is for Denver http://www.rtd-denver.com/accessARide.shtml

If you visit the page you can see the experience is less than awesome. You typically need to book your trip a day or more in advance . Considering how expensive paratransit can be for a municipality, I imagine they could see using Uber, even if only for dispatch) as a potential big win in both overall user experience and cost savings.

> increase efficiency

Many muncipalities prefer to do as much in the private sector as possible. Handing ticketing and payment over to 3rd party providers has the potential for cost saving if Uber and other services can do it for less money.

Edit: I should add that I'm not writing this as something I think will end up being true as much as I'm clarifying the corporate speak that Uber is sending out for other decision makers in other municipalities.
Now that the US is cracking down of IP theft and espionage, China's new method is to invite companies to come over and bring their tech to "share".
Since the vast majority of crimes are committed by people with much less means than the victims, you cannot make the victim whole.

If you think otherwise: courts are public, go and sit in one a few hours. This idea that perpetrators can make victims whole, even partly, won't surive 30 minutes.

This point comes up in discussion from time to time. Affirmative action is legal in some domains.[0]

Ultimately, we all come from somewhere, and the interactive, dynamic impact of past will impact an individual's future potential.

It's nice to optimize for a static objective problem, like whom to hire or whom to admit. But people are made up from the cumulative and dynamic series of events that began happening long, long before being born. It behooves a stable society to ensure marginalized groups aren't forever left in the cold. This is often expressed with sayings like "losing privilege feels like discrimination."

Think of it this way: in introductory game theory we learn about the Prisoner's Dilemma, where both players are offered a strictly dominating choice -- and so the outcome is entirely predictable. However, what happens when the game framework is repeated indefinitely, without end? The sum of immediate payoffs can be balanced with future payoffs, and different equilibria ("good policy") can be considered (e.g. tit-for-tat). This is not even accounting for further ex-game interaction, which can open more equilibria options.

The data shows that the global economy is entering a recession, and the US bull market run is over. Consider that within 4 years, if your company hasn't produced a significant profit/cashflow, it may be hard to raise another round.

Not sure what probabilities you used, but the probabilistic outcome using a sample size of 'all startups that raise money', is probably to take the money and not the shares.
They need that list for max profit. Just serving ads without an intelligent platform behind it to know where and when to serve them, will hurt the CTR (which hurts both the ad tech platform and the advertiser).

Why would ad tech companies gather data and invade your privacy, and then not use it to sell more profitable ads? That makes no economic sense, but is a costly form of voyeurism. The "myth" you refer to sounds like a poorly thought out conspiracy theory.

My attitude for that would be that the entire point of holistic criteria is that college prep shouldn't have to begin in kindergarden! The adult success rate of kids that wake up for the first time in college and Tiger Children (TM) isn't all that different, so we don't want to end up in a situation where, for any race, the only way to go to Harvard is to be a Tiger Child (TM). Making it easier for one race to get in to Harvard might help solve the problem for them, but that doesn't help all the other races.
1) PayPal is a pain sometimes, but they do usually seem to be trying (my wife is a small business owner), and refereeing fraud disputes is a Hard Problem
2) their old-school competition was not always great
3) my (anecdotal) impression is that Square and Stripe both ARE doing well (marketshare-wise, anyway), so the idea that PayPal owns this whole space is not accurate
I actually agree with you in substance, but the glib 'trigger warning' at the end does yourself no services in convincing others.

I can't imagine it being the most efficient development tool, but I think for overall "feel", VR could have a legitimate use case.

For example, you're designing the car on the computer. You put on the VR headset, and suddenly your computer chair becomes the driver's seat. You can look around at your surroundings. Do the dash controls and buttons feel like they're in a good location? Does reaching for the handbrake feel natural or is it too far forward or back? If you look in the rear view mirror do you have a good view, or is the back window causing it to be limited?

Then you can quickly jump out of VR, make a few adjustments, and jump back in. Or get in VR and quickly A/B test different multiple saved versions of the interior.

It would also be good for general feedback. Get some people off the street and toss them in VR to walk around your car. I could see it being more effective and accurate than looking at photos, or 3D renders.
if it said "people" would you not complain that it's not a public good?
I don't think it's a tricky subject in the way that fluid dynamics is tricky. I do think it is difficult to communicate openly about because systemic favor and disfavor lie so close to individual identity that those favored have a hard time acknowledging it and those disfavored have a hard time being listened to. The ego is super enmeshed.
There seems to be a continuing chain of these damning stories about McKinsey and its quesrionable ethics. Seems like the New York Times has one now every few months. Has the firm lost its way or are lights just being put in places McKinsey would rather they weren’t?
I would love to see this come to more cities. I live in a major north American city where public transportation is run by the local government. They have an official transportation app, but it's a buggy mess that's just a wrapper for the phone browser. It features "real time" (their words) route tracking, but as I quickly found out, the busses that move along the map aren't actually representative of the real busses and their locations (e.g. GPS tracking). Instead, their location and arrival estimates are based entirely on where they should be at that time under ideal conditions, making them entirely useless at rush hour and in inclimate weather conditions (which is precisely when people rely on them the most).

As a result, catching the bus is a complete guessing game every day. There are three possible outcomes:

1) The bus arrives 5-10 minutes early and doesn't wait around, so you have to get to your stop at least 15 minutes early.

2) The bus is late (the typical scenario), so you spend 15-60+ minutes convincing yourself you aren't crazy and the bus didn't pass before your eyes while wondering how long you can continue standing outside before getting frostbite.

3) You spend 15-30 minutes standing around in scenario (2) above before getting an "alert" from the app that your route has been cancelled. These late alerts ensure that even if you manage to find a different route to take you to your destination, you'll have to repeat the guessing game above and you'll definitely be late.

Uber and Lyft have numerous problems still, but as far as I'm concerned their disruption of the transportation industry has been long overdue. My local government refuses to expose the transportation API, so even if there was a motivated individual who wanted to make a better app they wouldn't have access to the information they needed. I can't wait for more competition in this space.

I've completely switched to soy milk. It tastes a little different to cow milk but after a few cups of tea over a week I didn't notice anymore. Now cow milk tastes strange to me. Soy milk also lasts around a year unopened so you can save time buying it in bulk as a plus.

People need to stop expecting replacements to taste 100% identical to what they're use to and give their tastebuds some time to adapt. Same with meat alternatives. It's an extremely unrealistic and pretty silly requirement in my opinion especially if you're concerned with climate change.
Hell, we actually executed a guy based on 'fire analysis.'
Cool. I'm more of a mechanical designer so it is hard for me to understand why this is an improvement because I'm used to requiring a lot of precision in my modeling. That said when he mentioned the ability to get line-of-sight on different curves I could appreciate it a bit more.

I still don't think that the hand controllers they're using are the best input device. I can imagine a hybrid approach where design teams are using standard surface modeling like Alias/3Ds Max/Blender for the bulk of the design work and then VR systems like this for review.
As the Radio Yerevan jokes went:

Radio Yerevan was asked: "Is it true that there is freedom of speech in the Soviet Union the same as there is the USA?"

Radio Yerevan answered: "In principle, yes. In the USA, you can stand in front of the Washington Monument in Washington, DC, and yell, ´Down with Reagan!´, and you will not be punished. In the Soviet Union, you can stand in the Red Square in Moscow and yell, ´Down with Reagan!´, and you will not be punished.

And

Q: What is the difference between the Constitutions of the USA and USSR? Both guarantee freedom of speech.

A: Yes, and the US Constitution also guarantees freedom after speech.

It's unclear from the article what Gravity Sketch offers that absolutely requires VR to get the several orders of magnitude improvement that is claimed:

> "If you wanted to make an interior and an exterior, you're still talking months," versus approximately 20 hours in the VR tool, he says.

If Gravity Sketch were on a traditional 2D screen instead of in VR, would the designers still accomplish in hours what used to take months? Conversely, if the VR visualization were to be added to the tools and processes that currently take months to prototype a model, would a similar boost in productivity be observed?

I personally don't like xdg. I have bin files from pip and other stuff in ~/.local/bin.

I have huge amounts of cache files in both .cache and .config. It's supposed to make my life easier by being able to backup .config and dump everything. but in reality this doesnt happen.

Backing up .config for just the user defined configs is a massive PITA. you have to put so many gitignore exceptions and I'm not even talking about the gigs of data all the chromium derivatives put into that folder.
Adulterers would have a reason to be opposed to such testing but I doubt they have a lobby.
i don't agree. Google ranks, but shouldn't be allowed to treat one group unfairly. For example, google shouldn't be allowed to downrank one ethnicity and prefer another. Similiar, google shouldn't be allowed to "forcefully" downrank one's blog, just because it doesn't like some thoughts about sexuality (I don't know if it does though).

It's not that google has the total freedom to adjust the search-ranking like it sees fit.

I don't know how the law is implemented, but I bet they have a good definition what illegal discrimination actually is. For example, I don't think google would be allowed to rank results (or, as you say it, discriminate) based on gender.

While your code was valid, open('~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub'...) won't work on any Python other interpreter, you need to expand ~ from the path. For example you can use:

It's like Google Maps but perhaps slightly inferior in quality. Smart, I like the way Uber thinks. They should add Apple Maps integration next in order to improve their overall map fidelity.
It's important people become aware of it since right now all the jury will hear is "there is a 1 in X octillion chance it is not this guy's DNA" and they will convict.

In this case ambiguous or equivocal means:

>ambiguous or equivocal in that a reasonable police officer in light of the circumstances would have understood only that the suspect might be invoking his right to counsel

So the judge isn't saying that he is confused and thinks the statement is ambiguous because he doesn't know what a lawyer dog is. He's saying it's ambiguous because the statement didn't clearly request a lawyer, canine or otherwise.

This isn't anything confusing to a lawyer or someone familiar with the law. It's a well known legal standard. What the article claims is equivalent to saying that Java takes a lot of memory because the code is so verbose. It's just so obviously wrong to anyone with legal knowledge.

What makes you say that? Optimized machine code is for the most part optimized machine code, and unsurprisingly benchmarks tend to come down about even. The bunchmarks game currently has them down as

C vs. Rust: 6 wins for C, one draw, 3 wins for Rust

C++ vs. Rust: 5 wins for C++, two draws, 3 wins for Rust

The wins one way or another are also not by particularly large margins.

This would be very useful if they could automatically solve the "last mile" problem for transit. For example, if I can make a single order from home to work, involving both Uber for the short distance from home to the train, and then a train ticket to work, then this could add some value.
