> You just grab a random yo-yo with a vehicle and a clean driving record and they start making you cash.

Uber has been losing money ever since its inception, so it's clearly not making them so much cash.

> For a Taxi there's a huge capital, personnel, and operational investment.

Maybe in the U.S. with all its regulation.

> To become a NYC Taxi driver, you need...

Who cares? Taxis aren't all the same worldwide, they're still taxis. An unregulated/unlicensed taxi is still a taxi.

> You have to already be investing tens of thousands of dollars in a vehicle, and also already have other income.

If it's really such a sucker's game, people can just stop doing it.

> So what's new is the Uber driver herself. She only exists now because she was formerly lower-middle class, and now she needs 3 jobs to support herself.

If she needs three jobs to support herself maybe she'll prefer having the choice of working for Uber over not having it. Her situation is neither Uber's fault nor responsibility.
Well then they should get rid of the misleading title “from scratch” it makes it sound like they are going to explain it without beltching out a bunch of abstract math. I’m really annoyed that everyone pretends that you need math to explain a NN. I have done plenty of them without numpy or math using just arrays and loops.
One of the big benefits of electric in my view is that you can just let it charge overnight in your own garage. There's simply no need to charge on the way to work. (Yeah, this only works if you do have a garage, but that covers a lot of people.)

The only way this wouldn't happen is if the corporate side of the publication is fully in sync (or in control) with the editorial side. I consider the fact that the point of view put forth by the article was not completely in line with their actions speak to the journalistic independence we'd like to see.

> emphasis on offense

That was General Hayden's call. He dedicates a fair amount of space to that decision in his memoir. His basic calculus was that defense is 1000x harder than offense, so skip defense and punish your adversary through effective offense. I think the Air Force "Air Power" doctrine may have interfered with his thinking, but who am I?
The spirit of the problem, as it was presented to us in undergrad, is to modify the data structure in-place, not by allocating a scratch array.

What follows is purely anecdotal and just my experience, but protracted fasting had obvious changes on my general mental health.

My experiences were a month of 3 day water fasts followed by a meal (whole foods like plants and steak), and since then (this was 2 years ago) I do a 3 day fast every 1-2 months or so.

I also was able to stop craving sugars (sodas/ candy, etc) after that first long fast.

I have nothing conclusive, but I suspect that the changes in my mental health and dietary cravings have to do with killing off chunks of my microbiome in the first long fast. Could just be either placebo or other life changes (I turned 40, my wife had left me a month before, and I gave up drinking for 6 months during and after the fast).

So your milage may vary, but if your question is sincere, it might be easier to modify a biome by trimming it back rather than adding to it.

I'd be super stoked to have contradictory / corroborating evidence, though.
An anecdote about my first and only brush with an APL programmer:

Towards the end of the nineties I was a young computer science student standing on an almost deserted suburban above-ground underground station waiting for the next train into the centre of London.

A very old but brisk and snappy gentleman in traditional gentleman's clothes came onto the platform, and for some reason we nodded genially as you do when you pass strangers on country lanes; in London you ignore absolutely everyone, so it was strange we did this.

And there we stood, waiting for the train. He offered me a peppermint from a small metal tin. Of course my parents taught me to never take sweets from strangers, so I instinctively declined even though I'd now left home and thought of my self as a grown-up.

Anyway, we got talking. At first it was 'what are you studying?' kind of polite interest. He was intrigued that I was a computer science student.

I've gotta underline again how unusual this was, for anyone in London to ever talk to another stranger, but this really happened. I don't think I ever acknowledged there was anyone else in London, ever. It wasn't even normal to know the names of your neighbours.

And so we sat beside each other on an underground train and he told me about his early years as a programmer. Did I know APL, he asked? I had never heard of it! His veiled references suggested he worked with but not for Cheltenham.

And he delighted in telling me programmer war stories from when he did commercial stuff like how a vendor had encrypted their APL programs and he had reverse engineered it and waved the decrypted source-code in front of the firm's rep and complained about shoddy code and bugs! At the time I was tackling Simon Singh's Code Book contest so that kind of story caught my imagination and I begun to wish I'd have that kind of chance in my programming future.

Now, in his old age, he went from his home in the north of England down to London once a week for a charity meeting he chaired. That's the kind of thing respectable old gentleman do to give their life meaning, I guess.

Anyway, afterwards I searched the web for APL (this was before google) and was, of course, gobsmacked.
Luckily math isn’t actually required to implement them in a series of arrays so that little relief will be short lived.

The thing that Facebook is criticized for in this post is something that Google not only does in an extent that dwarfs Facebook - they also more or less invented it.

This emotional negative bias against Facebook has existed for more than a decade in this otherwise informed and rational community, so it doesn't surprise me anymore.
His nervous system is a lot more activated. The contrast with Rogan is striking. It makes me wonder if Rogan's ability to stay relaxed is part of his appeal. I haven't watched him much, but it seems like even when he's ranting, he kind of remains in a physical state of good cheer. That is easier to listen to.
This is the same for me. I feel obligated to maintain an account and check it once in a while since I have a lot of family and friends who aren't local who do still use it (though most have transitioned from using it as a way to update people on their lives to using it as a place to effortlessly repost memes), but I'm incredibly put off by Facebook's increasingly irrelevant and desperate attempts to get my attention.

Notifications used to be things I cared about, these days they are things like "This person knows a person who is the mother of a person on your friends list. Add Friend?"

I just block the notifications now and log into Facebook every couple of days in a browser and quick scan the feed.
Exactly. Compare the inter-core bandwidth and latency between a beefy multicore system and a distributed system, then use that ratio (of whatever your bottleneck is) to multiply how big your comparable distributed system would be. Usually people assume they are compute bound, when in reality they are memory latency/bandwidth bound, and they neglect to do this comparison when speccing out a distributed system.

Machine Learning Analytics: A New Approach to Combat the Opioid Crisis
Basically if you have any kind of publicly available contact information/presence, and you have friends that really care enough to want to reach out to you for a meaningful, enriching interaction, they can figure out how to reach out to you.

This facebook culture of needing this centralized service to dictate whether or not you exist as an individual is complete bullshit and I reject it outright. The idea that we're trading away true autonomy for the "ease of social interaction via the web" when most facebook interaction actually is people looking at the endless feed of nonsense/memes/political garbage on the news feed, and not any kind of meaningful 1-on-1 messaging, is the ultimate farce.

Furthermore, whats even worse about the facebook normalization thats occurring, is this idea that, "oh, you don't have $(OUR_OFFERING)? What's wrong with you? How can I possibly reach out to you?"

What do people really get out of facebook? I'd be willing to wager that there is no value creation occurrring. Either you're wealthy enough that they'll figure out how to hook up your anonymized profile info in such a way that you will get sold useless nonsense, or you're poor enough that they will try to dominate what your impression is of the "broader Web experience"

Why are we all paying $(MAX_INT) dollars a month on a cell phone subscription if we're all supposedly intimately connected via Internet platforms? Meanwhile, people feel more depressed than they've ever felt before, and socialization is declining across all quantifiable dimensions. So either I'm missing something, or its just a huge joke at everyone's expense.

I finally got around to deleting my facebook recently and while, as with all addictions, has been challenging, I feel myself slowly taking my life back from the social media theatre that has taken over human life over the last decade, give or take a few years.
For the iPhone, if you want the newest, buy it. Enjoy life. Do everything that makes you happy. We are only on this earth for so long. The best way is to buy the newest iPhone and sell it after a year. Pay the extra $100 to upgrade each year, so you have the latest if it makes you happy.

When it comes to learning awk, my suggestion is to read the man file of one of the simpler implementations; original-awk[0] or plan9's[1] awk. They lack the GNU additions (many of which admittedly are useful), but they decrease the learning curve a lot. I pushed off learning awk for years since I got overwhelmed every time I typed 'man awk', but after stumbling on the man page from plan9 I learned it in no time. Sure, I don't know all the GNU extensions in gawk, but now I can look them up when I need them.

Where are they going? Instagram? This is not leaving Facebook.

edit: How do you down-vote the fact that Facebook owns Instagram?
> The survey says: 9 out of ten americans care deeply about privacy (particuarly around data privacy and collection)

This is a problem with focus groups. Ask people 'do you care about your privacy', and almost everyone will answer yes.

There's almost zero social cost to answering that question in the affirmative.

On the other hand, there's a good deal of social sacrifice in leaving these platforms for good.

More likely - they don't care about privacy as much as they say they do and are leaving Facebook because it has become a polluted river of crap.
China is not only Xi alone, and having somebody less tremendously incompetent replace him, will only play to China's gain
I once got talking with an anesthesiologist who was taking care of a family member. Upon hearing I was a developer, he told me he was an APL programmer who spent most of his computer time developing Bible software. He regaled me with a few APL war stories, about how he could get so much more done with so much less code...

I was intrigued, and still am. But one thing I didn't catch -- how do you write all those non-ASCII symbols using a standard OS and text editor? Or does it require special tools?

This will cause a permissions fatigue. Only the most sensitive things should have permission. The usage of these capabilities is large enough that it should not be behind a permission.

Could you expand on what would be the cause of this war? China hasn't started a war in 40 years (since its failed invasion of Vietnam), and appears to have no intention of doing so any time soon.

They are working on it. The analogue to the borrow checker in C++ is called the "lifetime profile checker" and (an incomplete version) is included in MS Visual C++, but last time I checked (in January) it seemed to still have too many false positives to be practical.

In the mean time, I think "the minimum necessary changes" to achieve memory and data race safety is to replace all your unsafe C++ elements (pointers, arrays, vectors, string_views, etc.) with compatible substitutes from the SaferCPlusPlus library [1]. You don't even need to replace them all at once. You can replace them incrementally and your code will continue to compile and run throughout the process. And where needed, maintain maximal performance as well [2].

For the distant job offer case:
There are a number of ways out can play out, depending on circumstances. Can do an owner to owner sale, if possible. Or we can fail over to taking a renter, which (given my position stated above) is less than ideal, but a fine resolution for the short term. Or can always fail over to sale and a move if all else fails.

(Which, fwiw, is equivalent to what any home owner taking a distant job offer would face, though more people are impacted. The fall back to renting, though, leaves other owners in the house, to ensure things are well taken care of, at least; much better than the absence landlord situation...)
What does this have to do with the memory effect? The memory effect is about never discharging NiCd/NiMH batteries beyond a specific point (hence old recommendations about occasionally fully discharging your battery), it has nothing to do with fast charging.

why is this special? every time to eat out I'm paying someone to make a meal for me instead of making it myself. I pay the delivery person to get my package to me rather than drive myself to the manufacturer. I pay people to make furniture for me rather than building it myself although I did help my dad build some in the past. I pay an accountant to do my taxes instead of doing them myself. I pay people to make clothing even though my mom used to make clothes.

Not really. The GFC was a financial/banking crisis
There is nothing in "growth at any cost" style "capitalism" that means banks must all collapse together in a coordinated swan dive, like in 2008.

That sort of system will collapse, but not necessarily the banks.

There is no law of nature that says we have to use free to fuck anybody capitalism run rampant over all. It is a choice.

I think it is time we made a different choice!
Im more pessimistic. They care, just not enough to rock the boat. I think that's worse. They acknowledge that a disempowered group is unfairly harmed and, from a position of power, actively choose to do nothing.
Disable it in app settings, that effectively uninstalls it.

I'm going to miss Inbox. Sure they merged a bunch of features back into Gmail, but they still don't provide some of the greatest ones - such as context aware grouping. Planning a trip? All the emails from the various services you reserved (airfare, rental car, hotel, etc.) get grouped under "Your Trip to X" automatically. Or the grouping of GitHub emails under a group per repository or organization with buttons such as "view pull request" or "view issue."
I was guessing "serfs."
Are you at all able to pre-warm the car, like when you wake up and have breakfast, so it is ready to go?
This rings true. And it’s not just the students but postdocs, engineers who have to make up the gap. Students bear the brunt as being most disposable. When one student worked in a kebab truck to support themselves, my advisor said “well better to have the PhD than not, yes?”

There is no accountability for PIs, for funding agencies, but at least at my university there are independent committees that assess well being from time to time, but to little effect: the university itself has little incentive to limit this behavior as it will limit impact factor, end of discussion.
Sure, but they are probably buying >1 KV service, which is not, as the comment I responded to claims, a thing any of us would/could buy similar to "house service".
China has an ICBM arsenal that can hit the US and is developing a healthy conventional military as well. Therefore, given that they have overwhelming means to destroy us, as long as our leadership doesn't go completely crazy we won't try to come for them in the night and will be able to continue to live in peace.

Slight correction: since 9/10 said they care about their privacy, its more that they are not educated on what Facebook does with their data, or how to limit their own exposure. Lack of education != ignorance.
That's a fair point. A residential customer wouldn't be able to buy anything like it.
This is where I am at with my thinking. Minimum wage creates an oversized leadership/management problem.

The real problem is that the web is now too complex to the point that it's impossible to safely implement it. And W3C keeps trying to add new features to it. At some point we have to stop and consider whether all this cruft is even necessary.
When I first joined Facebook after jumping ship from Myspace, it was really simple to use with minimal intrusion of media clickbait which is in stark contrast to the bloated and highly optimized for engagement monstrosity it has become today.

I was grandfathered into this experience and it no longer appeals to me today as an adult. I suspect this phenomenon is affecting other early adopters as well. Can anyone else relate?
Yes. Residential/basic commercial wiring is the limit of my knowledge here, so i don't know what sort of voltage service they are buying here.

Staring at things like http://bpu.org/electric-service-rates-commercial/

(and similar pages on other utilities)

make me believe they'd end up with some medium voltage application here (IE take it in as somewhere between 3.3kv and 45kv and do step down themselves)

Those are completely different types of work, not very similar at all.

One is research / research training, involving projects with a large scope unlike anything students have done before, unpredictable timing, a lot of uncertainty and risk, and a certain amount of personal autonomy and social isolation. The others are professional training with many small clear tasks, more or less comparable to previous schooling students already have a lifetime of experience with.
The surveillance state workers are lazy and they want us to "trust them" with a panopticon into everyone's personal details without reasonable suspicion. Remember the NSA and the Clipper chip fiascos. They never give up trying to take away our rights.
Or why did hundreds of thousands of users actively choose to share their data with a random company called Cambridge Analytica?

They certainly have never chosen to do so. You can accuse them of participating in some innane quiz, but it was exactly the big scandal that not only the participants' data, but also that of their friends was sucked and resold to Cambridge Analytica without their knowledge by the "researchers".
