> demand is not uniform which results in some vehicles having to be parked while they're not needed

Exactly. The salient questions are whether, at the point of minimum demand during the day, there would be more unutilized self-driven vehicles than the current state of unutilized owner-driven vehicles, and if at the point of maximum demand, there would be more or less vehicles on the road than today.

Intuitively, the answer is "no" to the first question, since cars used for commuting in the morning and evening could be used for deliveries during the day.

I don't know about the second question, and this probably has more to do with shifting trips from public transit to self-driven cars (not cruising to avoid paying to park).

This research doesn't consider the reduction in parking demand, the reduced cost to park, the densification from reclaiming thousands of hectares of parking spaces, offsetting traffic of current delivery vehicles, etc.

I would say that the variable naming in the linked Makefile follows the usual conventions. Sure it could benefit - but at the cost of confusing readers who are accustomed to those conventions.

I've done the entire California Zephyr, the entire Empire Builder (twice), and parts of the Coast Starlight, Ethan Allen Express, Acela, Lake Shore Limited, Wolverine, Southwest Chief, Capitol Corridor, and... I dunno, a couple others also.

I have done nearly the entire system and only been subjected to this treatment this one time.

Now, was it luck? I'm not sure. I did find out from an Amtrak employee that the only people searched by the DEA on my trip were myself and a colleague (seven cars behind me). We work at a blockchain startup, and in both cases, this was our first Amtrak trip since starting this job. The same employee told me that she believed that people "involved in bitcoin" were targeted. Furthermore, the agents questioned my colleague about his hardware wallet and took several photos of it (and, according to him, seemed uninterested in anything else).

(Side note: the Amtrak employee also told me that Amtrak folks are terrified of the DEA agents and wished they'd just be gone. She told me that they had made unwanted advances to her and other female Amtrak staff.)

So I don't know if it was luck or targeting, but yes, most of my Amtrak experience has been quite pleasant by comparison.
Those salaries seem high compared with the equity, what is your level? Never heard of FB/GOOG L3 making 180k base, although the equity sounds about right (for someone with aggressive and well-planned negotiation).

Nice work. I went through the experience recently, although with two offers instead of six... and that was stressful enough! Well worth it in the end, obviously.
Another con to resin based approaches that's not always obvious is that some of these resins are pretty nasty and dangerous to touch when wet or pour down the drain. That makes the cleanup process a pain, at least in the context of at-home or small-scale printing. Powders are aslo a big pain but they're too expensive anyway.
They do. Usually to very large corporate customers.

In the wise words of Martin Shkreli, who sounds even wiser from jail..

The web media layoffs remind us that there is no money in virtue signaling. Major media will get back to real news. The ‘fakeout’ caused by companies like Vice and Buzzfeed will retract and the CBS/ABC/NBCs of the world will realize ‘woke’ culture and uber-progressivism won’t pay the bills. People want the news, not preaching. Companies like Buzzfeed (hungry for a merger) are still upside down on cost structure and will go bankrupt. Startups, such as Gawker’s latest iteration, actually have a risk of imploding on their own smug, before they prove they’re not viable businesses, either. More 20-somethings will realize that their calling of ‘speaking truth to power’ (by trying to usurp power itself) is a distant second to operating profit. No operating profit, no whining about the benefits of socialism, sorry.

Related: I listened to yesterday's very good Fresh Air interview with David Sanger.

https://www.npr.org/programs/fresh-air/2019/01/31/690290207/...

Sanger is a national security correspondent for the NYT and recently wrote a book about cyberwar and cyber-sabotage called "The Perfect Weapon."

One key thing I got out of it is that, even though the U.S. has forbid the use of any Huawei products in the U.S. 5G network build-out, he thinks it would be very difficult for even the U.S. to sufficiently test Huawei's 5G infrastructure products — he points hardest at their software-based switches — to ensure that they are not fundamentally compromised in ways that could give great advantage to the Chinese government.

Here are two quotes on society's approach to mental health from Mark Fisher, a prominent social critic who took his own life due to depression. In short, the treatment of mental health as a purely individual issue (and one for which therefore it is the onus of individuals to solve themselves) ignores very real aspects of society which have worsened or at least changed form. This ties into to theory of alienation, too.

"It would be facile to argue that every single case of depression can be attributed to economic or political causes; but it is equally facile to maintain – as the dominant approaches to depression do – that the roots of all depression must always lie either in individual brain chemistry or in early childhood experiences. Most psychiatrists assume that mental illnesses such as depression are caused by chemical imbalances in the brain, which can be treated by drugs. But most psychotherapy doesn't address the social causation of mental illness either."

“Capitalist realism insists on treating mental health as if it were a natural fact, like weather (but, then again, weather is no longer a natural fact so much as a political-economic effect). In the 1960s and 1970s, radical theory and politics (Laing, Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, etc.) coalesced around extreme mental conditions such as schizophrenia, arguing, for instance, that madness was not a natural, but a political, category. But what is needed now is a politicization of much more common disorders. Indeed, it is their very commonness which is the issue: in Britain, depression is now the condition that is most treated by the NHS. In his book The Selfish Capitalist, Oliver James has convincingly posited a correlation between rising rates of mental distress and the neoliberal mode of capitalism practiced in countries like Britain, the USA and Australia. In line with James’s claims, I want to argue that it is necessary to reframe the growing problem of stress (and distress) in capitalist societies. Instead of treating it as incumbent on individuals to resolve their own psychological distress, instead, that is, of accepting the vast privatization of stress that has taken place over the last thirty years, we need to ask: how has it become acceptable that so many people, and especially so many young people, are ill?”

"It goes without saying that all mental illnesses are neurologically instantiated, but this says nothing about their causation. If it is true, for instance, that depression is constituted by low serotonin levels, what still needs to be explained is why particular individuals have low levels of serotonin. This requires a social and political explanation; and the task of repoliticizing mental illness is an urgent one if the left wants to challenge capitalist realism.”
It's pretty common knowledge that there are differences from the GNU package set and linux package sets.

I've been exposed to this multiple times: from downloading GNU packages using Homebrew on OSX, downloading different packages on Android, the variety of options available to ArchLinux users, etc.

Anyone with basic Linux knowledge should be well aware of this. From a minimum of following tutorials and having the basic command flags not work on common terminal programs.

The man in the linked story did not have his DNA in any database that the police used - they got his name volunteered from the people present at the crime scene. So yes it is a problem that can affect you if your DNA isn't in any database.
The economy grows if there are more people in it. GDP is just all economic activity summed, so adding more people inherently grows GDP, which is what is usually meant by "the economy".

This obviously doesn't automatically mean everyone gets richer though, it just means more economic activity is now being counted under the UK vs other countries. This sort of immigration driven "growth" is sort of like a child "growing up" by getting fatter - yes it's definitely larger, but that doesn't mean healthier.

From the perspective of the average British person, merely having more people around doesn't inherently make things better even if GDP has gone up, and can practically make things worse if it happens too fast as there's a limit to how fast infrastructure can be built.

People who view the world exclusively via spreadsheets may struggle to understand this basic point, but everyone else can see it quite clearly.

GINA was voted into law 509-1 (Ron Paul being the sole dissenter), it was hardly controversial.

Then insurance companies will simply demand DNA to be insured. Same way car insurance companies demand financial information (through credit bureaus) in order to insure you in places where it's legal to do so (which is the vast majority of the US save 1-2 states).

So either way you don't have to worry about insurance companies mining private databases, if GINA exists they can't legally and if GINA doesn't exist they'll just do the data collection themselves.

When the traffic lights can coordinate with cars, they can avoid the need to stop, at most they may just need to slow down, which can be done without brakes.

An EV doesn't need (much) lubrication, for example, the Chevy Bolt EV maintenance schedule has only tire rotations for the first 150,000 miles:

With low speed travel and minimal stops, there's not much tire wear.

Six offers is also well above normal. Most people I've talked to did not have a single competing offer.

I just ran into an issue with the way they blog their documentation. It isn't hierarchical from what I can tell and they don't go back and update blogs to point you at the latest document. I wasted a lot of time going step-by-step through one to find out it was deprecated.

It is a problem because a lot of the good documentation about overall usage or architecture for some reason is in this blog format but I can see it just being written off because "its just a blog".

They also leave a lot out of the true documentation such as Landing Zone stuff (in fact they hide this one entirely) and Application Discovery Service (they make no mention how the agents work). There are plenty of other minutia that I have had to contact our rep. to get from the product team.

The most common or basic stuff has some great documentation. But once you stray into the "weird" it isn't uncommon to see 2 or 3 line documentation pages about something.
Oracle offer quite a compelling free trial.

I got a VM for 30 days with 16 gigabytes (!) of RAM and it didn't cost me a penny. In fact, the machine continued working for a few months after the trial ended, which I thought was very generous. They just blocked port 80 and 443 inbound.

They even have a high-touch sales process where a real person sends you emails and replies when you send them questions. Imagine that at AWS!

I was actually tempted to keep paying for the VM from Oracle, but the high-touch sales person literally could not tell me how much it was going to cost. She could point me towards the price calculator page, but the VM type I had been given in my free trial did not exist in their price calculator. I asked for just a simple number: how much is this going to cost me per month? She could not give me an answer. So I didn't buy it. I still have no idea whether it would have been a good deal or not.

Definitely not going to argue about Virgin – they're useless – and this may be an unpopular opinion but.. let's not pretend it's just Virgin. As an ex-pat having lived in London for years it's my firm belief that this is just the way business operates in the UK. Thames Water for instance double billed me for a full year. They acknowledged their mistake, told me to pay the invoices anyway to avoid automatic late charges and then refused to refund. First Direct won't let me close my bank account, or transfer my funds unless it's to another UK bank. Black cabs will short change you.. And the constant non-apologies, the "we're sorry if this causes you inconvenience" etc.. no one owns up to their faults and mistakes there. I've sinced moved out, and I'm sorry to high jack your thread, but that article on the fare "whoopsie" just made me cringe – par for the course when it comes to English business, in my experience.

>> I mean, fundamentally, how is it different from the police asking a hotel administrator whether John Doe stayed there?

I don't think it's different. Hopefully the hotel operator has the good sense to tell any law enforcement without a warrant precisely where they can shove it. It sounds like this DNA company does not have that good sense, however.

No, it wasn't. The EU is not insisting that parts of Canada obey EU law automatically and are effectively different countries as a result, which is what it's currently demanding of the UK. Nor did the EU demand tends of billions of euros from Canada in return for nothing in particular.

The EU has actually never been willing to discuss trade deals with the UK, let alone "let's be like Canada". So far it's refused entirely to even start such discussions. Barnier says a lot of things, as do others involved in the EU, but those things aren't consistent.

We are used to busses going at set times from set positions. Why can't I request a $STARTUP ride from A to B, at about 30 minutes from now and let them try to calculate a route based on who else is going now? You could run that when you get out of bed and see what comes up, so that by the time you had showered it would be clear when you could go and then you could make the go/no-go decision.

I mean today it is a no-go decision from be, simply because it takes a minimum of twice as long to go to work by bus as by my car, but with a smarter route, that may not be an issue.
