Most of the Uber drivers I speak with are also doing better than if Uber didn't exist. (Naturally, if they didn't believe that, they wouldn't be driving for Uber still, but even as I engage halfway deeply into how it's going for them, most of them seem to genuinely understand the costs and have good reason to believe they're being made [sometimes much] better off by driving for Uber.)
I think you might be describing analysis paralysis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_paralysis).

While I can't advise you how to deal with it I find that acknowledging the tendency makes it easier to override, particularly for relatively trivial and inconsequential decisions like your example.

Years ago I used to aim for 100% "information coverage" to base a decision on. These days I'm slowly starting to realize that the diminishing returns past a certain percentage of "information coverage" are rarely worth the time, though this depends on the gravity of the decision.
In the case of the make/brand of my phone case I'd visit a site like thewirecutter.com and order their top pick.
Yes! This guide is good for securing maybe a personal server, but any business systems should use a server hardening standard that has industry mindshare (CIS, STIG, etc.) I can speak from personal experience that QSAs give you a very skeptical look when you say "our security standard is homebrewed."
So the worker that commutes 2 hours a day, and the worker that commutes 10 minutes a day? Same thing?

You implied above that it doesn't matter.

If you really don't understand what I'm trying to argue, then I'd suggest reviewing your responses to me in this thread.

Also, no, once again, everyone doesn't commute (and the remark about the difficulty of driving is a total non-sequitur). And many people only commute a few blocks. That makes a huge difference in life quality. If you don't understand why, do the math.
I do modeling for an advertising recommendation engine (not at Amazon). We do controls against both human-made rulesets and random, and we consistently outperform both by a big margin. However, click through rate is always really low, and a model that massively increases revenue still serves irrelevant content most of the time, and still seems random from the POV of the user. The point of ML in advertising recommendation is to guess better in aggregate, not get it right all the time.
I am also a fan of RDF and OWL. My two ‘practical semantic web’ books (one in Common Lisp and one for Jave/Clojure/Scala) are now 8 years old, but you can get free PDFs from my web site. Those books badly need second editions, the material is interesting but outdated.
A minorly relevant note is that GP said ‘sign into’ a hotel, while you said ‘sign in to’, which is a subtlety difference a native speaker would know.
There's a time limit on this. 10years later, it's much easier to clone Uber's business and recruit the same drivers (Uber's desert for not hiring drivers as proper employees)

Well as far as google thinks I warp immediately from Vancouver to Calgary once I switch from wifi to data then back again every day. I'm guessing it has to do with my phone company but they always give me results from Calgary and show my location as being in Calgary based on my internet address.

I’m exactly sure what that book is about, but reading the description, it seems to be geared for people (women?) who have trouble eating healthy and want to.

I’ve never really met someone like me before, but let me explain my seemingly unique situation. You know how when you look at garbage or vomit you have this viceral reaction of disgust? That’s me, but for most food. I don’t even like to look at salad, it makes me want to vomit.

I’ve been this way since I was born (according to my parents) and maybe if I worked really hard and CBT or something for years I could overcome it. But why fight it? I’m not overweight, if a little bit out of shape. I’m happy with what I eat (steak, pizza, plain hamburgers, chinese food with no vegetables, candy, etc) and feel fine (though I don’t have anything else to reference I guess).
I'm not sure I follow. If you are decrypting with a key, either you trust it or you don't. It works or doesn't.

That is, why use a public key scheme, for private encryption? It is literally made to establish identity with someone else. Not yourself.

Even if you sign things for personal use, that is just to confirm nothing was tampered with. Which, if it was encrypted with a key, is already guaranteed. Otherwise it won't decrypt. Right?
I don't complain about bubbles.

I brought the bubble up to demonstrate that the right is moderating all kinds of not fitting content where they are able to.

The big conspiracy the right wants to paint here based about moderation of their hate speech or pure insulting language is something that is being reinforced through their political figureheads and sold as censorship. I did not see anything like that on the other side (yet).

It's a disgusting and ridiculous play, especially in regard of real censorship which is really out there today.
Fixed the color scheme. For sites like ProductHunt and BetaList the information is updated daily, for sites with less activity such as IndieHackers the information can be a few days old.

But, in a project of any significant complexity, you will represent the data in different formats, because transforming data into different formats is one of the main functions of software. Relying on a framework that assumes you won't do something that you will do is a Very Bad Idea.
In 20 years, today's teenagers will be talking about "the good days when Twitter and Instagram were all the rage".

> Continuing to push the narrative that the performance concerns are bullshit

There are two ways to interpret Google's claims about performance:

A) Content blocking in general is impossible to do quickly without a declarative API.

B) The current API gives bad extensions too much power to slow down pages.

We already know that argument B is wrong, because the changes Chrome is proposing don't prevent extensions from slowing down the page. If Chrome was completely, 100% deprecating the old API, I think B would be a much, much stronger claim. But they're not.

So that leaves argument A, which is exactly what this article attacks. It is possible to build adblockers with the current APIs that are good enough that performance doesn't matter.

Now, if the Chrome team wants to argue that extensions have too much power and malicious actors can do bad things, that's a legitimate claim to make that I honestly kind of agree with. But that's so clearly not what the point of these changes are, because a set of changes that were focused on that would look very different from what we've gotten. It's the same reason why I don't take Google's privacy claims seriously for the manifest -- because they haven't actually deprecated any of the worst features that allow people to spy on me.

If someone claims that they need to buy a new car to help save the environment, and then they show you an ad for a pickup truck, I think it's reasonably safe to assume the original claim was just an excuse.
The purpose of a minimum wage job should not be to live on your own and support a family. Some jobs aren’t worth $17/hour

Instead of increasing the minimum wage, why not offer job training, universal health care, have reasonable zoning laws that make affordable housing possible, get rid of regulatory capture that forces undue licensing to do things like braid hair, make the Earned Income Tax Credit easier for employers to distribute during the year, make child care more affordable?

Why put the burden of social policy on private businesses instead of society through the government where it belongs?
Nuclear Waste Dumpsters in Massachusettes Are Costing Taxpayers a Fortune
Quite normal everywhere in the world. It almost sounds like a contradiction in terms: “minimum wage” and “own apartment”. Here in Switzerland, I probably won’t be able to ever afford my own apartment, despite earning about $100k/year (and with “minimum wage”, it is solidly in a realm of fantasy). Were things different in the United States at some point?

Isn't this actually a damning indictment of how normal humans expect social networks to work, versus how they actually do?

You don't expect big corporations to have spies listening to every conversation in a random party in your local park, but you don't mind other people joining in, it's kinda the point.

People think of social media as a big party of real people, not as a massive corporate espionage listening to every conversation for certain trigger words so they can slimely sidle up, butt into the conversation and try and sell you something.

How much did it cost to buy the TLD? Looks like a very good investment that will repay itself quite easily.
Is the KKK going to search through a marketing database to find out where black people live, or are they going to just drive around the neighborhood and see which houses black people go into?

The information flows both ways. We could also use location data to see who regularly attends KKK meetings and who was at the house at the time a cross was burned in the yard and then arrest them, which is ultimately going to be more effective in stopping things like that from happening.
It would be creepy if they did that in a private conversation. In a public, easily searchable medium like Twitter, no.

This is terrible gatekeeping and I hope Google perishes soon. Wow. I can't get over how fucking dumb this is.

No, because doing so is against ICANN rules, so the maximum value of a brand domain is the cost to open an ICANN dispute.
It wasn't normal at all anywhere in the world until very recently. The world has changed so much in just 50 years that people often just flat out don't believe me when I tell them what it used to be like. Even when I'm willing to present evidence, they just don't believe it.

I'm not sure how to overcome that.
There's a nonzero chance that the investment could be a dud if people simply don't like the TLD, the same way how no one (except a few people [1]) like the .bike TLD.

The .dev TLD worked fine before it was bought. Now we have to use .test or .local.

I don't get what Google thinks they'll get out of sponsoring putting sites under development online.
That's a very nice writeup, thank you a lot!

One thing that seemed a bit surprising to me, especially in light of the paper's strong focus on computation, is that the assumption that the axiomatization is effective is only mentioned in a footnote, and even there it is not explained but we are told to "don't worry about it" if we don't know what that means.

Yet, the code pieces in the paper make critical use of this assumption in that they assume that we can decide (with an algorithm) whether or not a string is a proof. This only works if the axioms are recursive.

So, maybe you could consider adding a short explanation about this to the paper?

As a woman, I can tell I don’t suffer at all from gender roles.

Stop using all women to support your political agenda. Stop speaking for the 51%. Not all of us support you, don’t speak for all of us.
> . Were things different in the United States at some point?

No, at no point in the history of the US, even when the minimum wage was first created, would the minimum wage have been enough to afford the median 1BR.
> Not at all; you can write selectors that return a branch of your state tree, and you can generally tell where the line should be (user makes more sense than userName and userEmail).

And then you're right back to any component that uses User being tightly coupled to the structure of the User, without any of the syntactic cues that allow you and your static tooling to connect the two.

> except those solutions are sprinkled into your UI components in a way that makes them full of mutable state that is impossible to test and a constant source of bugs.

That's not the case:

1. There's nothing preventing you from treating components as a pure function of their props.

2. At the top level, it's necessary to have some mutable state, but I'm not sure where you get the idea that this isn't testable. Redux doesn't remove mutable state: all redux is doing is a big complicated version of newState = pureFunction(oldState) which is perfectly possible to do using Vanilla JS functions.

You can get multiple domains if you can justify it.
You don't have to use a closed source TOTP client such as Google's. There's RedHat's FreeOTP and there's another open source one called antOTP. You can find them on F-Droid as well.

There have been TOTP PAM modules for ages (these work on a Linux client and Linux server via e.g. SSH). You can even add YubiKey to PAM. Same for BSD Auth and macOS.
You mention that one you make a post that you need to stay online for a half hour or so. How come your post won't continue to propose once you go offline? I would think that once it's sent to a few peers that it should continue to prepare even if I close the client. Is this a choice you made due to limitations or due to user experience? I honestly don't see it justified either way though.
Is there any evidence this is real? Seems like a joke to me.
It costs USD$185,000 to submit a TLD application, and there are probably additional costs beyond that.
How long until Google will start removing domains that don't fit their "values"?
Yes, this, though I really am disappointed in ICANN here. ICANN should not have sold a TLD known to be in heavy use already. Their desire for cash from this process seems to have overwhelmed their good sense in managing the domain system.
Thank you. That page freezes Chrome, ironically.
The thing that makes me increasingly concerned is the possibility of an entity using this data-surveillance NOT so they can sell us more crap, but for ulterior malicious purposes.

We already got a taste of what this can mean with cambridge analytica.

But what if some hate group (or other extremist org) with deep pockets decided to buy up and use such data in more sinister ways, targeting individuals or organizations at large scale, developing "Stasi style" dossiers to use as leverage for future actions?

The information would not need to be "perfect" but it could get increasingly more accurate over time depending on how much attention they focus on their targets.

This is a narrow and reductionist view that misses the scope and scale of the issue to make it personal when this is not personal.

Nobody is interested in the random individual so looking at this the purely personal level is pointless.

It's the ability to do this enmasse, 'collect' and 'collate', analyze and drill down to 'people of interest' and the power it gives the data holders that makes it toxic and ominous.
Oakland privacy advocate sues sheriff after plate readers target his car stolen
A domain just for developers! Until it abruptly shuts down Feb 19, 2021. Why would anyone trust Google with something with any kind of long-term requirements as important as a name? They should have registered ".chump" instead, because that is really what users of a Google-managed TLD are declaring

"Dear VALUED developer, thanks so much for being a part of the .dev experiment! After a long hard period of staring at our shoes, we realized we cannot extract sufficient value from our users in this manner. As of midnight, your name will automatically be migrated to our newer, better, faster TLD, .plus, the future of the open web"
Competitors offering you free stuff in public might be the future though.

"Sky Media sucks? Move to Virgin Media and we'll give you 6 months free if you tweet that you did."

I could see that being a more effective strategy.
If you've been using .dev for local development, that means you've either been setting it in your hosts or using your own DNS server until now, which you can continue to do with a .dev TLD.

Most likely the registry won’t let you buy trademarked domains if you can’t prove you have the trademark. There is a period set aside for tm holders.

I would stay far away from any brand or tm domains at any time. You will eventually lose the domain through a udrp. And you could likely get sued as well.
The concept predates that. I remember reading a Sci fi novel from the 80s at least, with teenagers being dumped on a planet to fight it out. Don't think it was last man standing, but similar in all other respects.

This article seems to _repeatedly_ misuse the metric 'per hour', or assume that the posited worker was able to work two jobs as the same time. Example:

> If a worker holds two full-time minimum wage jobs, they'd be earning $14.50 an hour total

No. They'd be making $7.25 per hour, and working 80 hours per week. Unless again they're able to work both jobs simultaneously, which very, very few people are (I've seen parking garage attendants manage this).

I wish the author would rewrite the article in terms of monthly income / hours worked per month.
Yes this is so true. I feel like the major difference between me now and the me that I feel nostalgic about is the free time that I no longer have after multiple children.
Why do you need to use .test or .local?

Presumably you were already editing your hosts file or running your own DNS server in order to make .dev resolve for local development, which you can continue to do?
