The particular traditional companies in the graphic are, if anything, the worst possible cases of this.

For example, the graphic includes both Delta and American Airlines as well as Jetblue. Airlines are effectively a zero-margin business for some interesting reasons (https://philip.greenspun.com/flying/unions-and-airlines). You might say, so are Uber and Lyft, but airlines have a static business model that hasn't changed for decades, can't fundamentally change because it's regulated within inches of its life even after "deregulation", and Delta and American have no real room for growth.

Ford isn't really even comparable. It's a car manufacturer. At least airlines transport people from point A to point B. Likewise for Embraer, which manufactures jets.

Royal Caribbean is a cruise line, which puts it more in the "leisure" sector than the "transportation" sector. (Can you expense Uber or Lyft for work? Yes. Can you expense airline tickets? Yes. Can you expense a Royal Caribbean cruise? Not likely.)

And that leaves a shipping company and a car rental company, which are at least in the same ballpark as airlines in that they're basically logistics companies (with an optional customer service component), but Uber and Lyft are different from these in that Uber and Lyft don't have to manage the physical capital.

Do I still think Uber and Lyft are likely overvalued? Honestly, yes, and that's why I don't buy them. Am I shocked that Lyft is approximately as valuable as Delta Airlines? Not at all.
Programmer Who Built “Flash Crash Trader” Software Goes on Trial
Can you give the example of the last mental math calculation you did? I almost never do it and I still almost never did it even when I was in college taking higher math. Tip calculation is all I can think of.
> Enrollment in AP Statistics, which requires only Algebra II as a prerequisite, has surged nearly 50 percent."

Probably has a lot to do with the intro-to-stats stuff that they introduced to the math curriculum as part of this reshuffling. Hard to see that as a negative - if the one thing we can worry about is "more students taking AP stats, fewer taking calculus", I'd say that this change was a huge success!
So, you don't do that... You start in the burbs. Out on the periphery. "Huh ... camera 20179 doesn't work. Put in a trouble ticket." Trouble ticket goes to the bottom of the stack. Too far away for anyone to bother driving too. Eventually they see a pile of these at the bottom of the stack. If you're lucky, they decide to take a pass on option years for the project because they massively under-budgeted the maintenance side of the contract.
Yes, such as roads, which can be replaced or built over with rail almost always. (Including light rail like trams.)

The problem shared between both is lack of walkability. Not insoluble but requires more tunnels or overpasses.
A pity that it uses windows.h API.
Using source code control. Ever so many things become easier, and yet there are still teams that have never heard of it.
i feel like these have been "coming soon" for a couple years now. its a great idea, wish it had more traction.
OKRs Aren't Going to Fix Your Communication Issues
Hahaha. You already have it. Covert interception. FAANG. Snowden "blew the whistle" on only a tiny fraction. You already exceeded 1984's monitoring.

Dictatorship forms okay without it.

More overt surveillance is a civil maintainer. Taiwan has camera surveillance everywhere and solves above 90% crime.

It used to surprise me how in denial people can be about their own localities' surveillance. Now I think that makes sense as a consequence of the surveillance mostly being covert.
So I don't disagree with anything in this statement, but what is it about cross-contaminating that's an issue here specifically? Is there a health reason to avoid any intake of meat products or an ethical/moral one?

For the later case... I'm on board with sane things (don't fry veggie burgers in animal fat) but less with (don't prepare this food where meat products were prepared) simply because... I feel like the same amount of effort should be taken with each meal and vegetarians shouldn't require separate processing things.

To draw a parallel, I'm lactose intolerant myself, but I've always felt it's a bit silly that <GENERIC COFFEE PLACE> has separate blenders for milk/soy/other (except almond, due to the factor of nut allergies).
I'm not totally sure I understand your question. My original design document (from apparently a year ago!) is here: https://goo.gl/U1HnMu ← that was part of what I produced in the "six hours" that I mention in the video. Perhaps that will help, but I don't expect you to read through 11 pages to find your answer, so with clarification, I'd be happy to answer you!
A few that you need, on an ad-hoc basis, instead of front-loading a bunch of calculations you're probably never going to use.
In your opinion, how much does that timeline change if policy/infrastructure also evolves to support the growth with things like dedicated autonomous lanes and roads, shared network data from vehicles in those lands (ie. vehicle from Manufacturer A 10 cars up stops short and sends that event to the network so cars further back can start breaking even earlier and less aggressively), etc.?
Somewhere there must be a Rule of Automation saying, "Paper and pen/pencil is better than a bad system."
In other news zsh (+ohmyzsh) has replaced bash in Ubuntu after a user survey cemented the importance of themes and autocomplete dropdowns.
That doesn't explain the rule as practiced.
Honestly, we need to discuss how to stop it. Everyone goes around trading opinions and complaining, but this is an entrepreneurship community. We need to talk about solutions.

Could a startup make a dent?
My aunt and uncle got one recently for when they are traveling, i think they picked it up at 7-11. its a prepaid, but if you dont use it much, i figure thats the best way to go anyhow.
I misused the word "expressed" as opposed to "revealed" but I was meaning to use it the same way Skevola used "revealed". Sorry for the confusion
Where do you get the idea this is DNS over VPN only?

> Any unencrypted connections are encrypted automatically and by default.

> Unfortunately, a lot of the Internet is still unencrypted. For that, Warp automatically adds encryption from your device to the edge of Cloudflare’s network

It reads to me like all your traffic goes through your service, not just DNS.
Most of the US freight rail system isn't electrified because the capital expenditures of doing so would be very large, and its return on investment in terms of direct monetary savings wouldn't materialize for many, many years. Since externalities aren't priced in, diesel-electric locomotives haul most trains in the US.

More passenger rail isn't really being built in the US, because the capital expenditures of doing so would be very large, and its return on investment in terms of direct monetary savings wouldn't materialize for many, many years. Since externalities aren't priced in, the responsibility for transportation is largely distributed to individuals, who make daily use of road vehicles on roads that the governments fund, and travel long-distance by commercial airlines that make use of airports that governments support.

Never thought of that. Just replace the roads with rails. Remove redundant links in the highway network. Sounds like a job for a graph algorithm straight out of CS 261.
That reminds me of the time I was in Jerusalem on Saturday (the Sabbath, so like everything was closed) and I stumbled upon a restaurant that reveled in being as un-kosher as possible: the main menu item was cheeseburgers and of course they were open on Saturdays. There were probably other things they did that rubbed people the wrong way because apparently the restaurant had been firebombed at one point.
I think ray tracing will be handled well enough by generic GPU hardware simply using APIs like Vulkan. Nvidia probably oversold their dedicated components, and AMD will try to go the more straightforward way to compete. Which is good, if same thing can be achieved with portable cross-GPU approaches. GPU lock-in is bad and only wastes developers' time.
Why not explain away the myth?

I'd like to know why it isn't. A rootkit doesn't necessarily need access to every ring of a system, just enough to compromise it .

Is there some reason that you seem to be purposely vague when speaking about basebands in these kind of threads? ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10906188 )

The baseband may not have as much authority as some purport, but it's still a subsystem with it's own code and purpose -- and (like any other subsystem), a villain could theoretically use this to their advantage in all sorts of imaginable ways.

(tl;dr : DMA isn't needed to be evil. It's just nice.)
No mention of China. They built 16,000 miles of high-speed rail in 15 years. They’ll be at 24,000 miles by 2025.

The low/medium speed maglevs also seem interesting:

A 70-100 mph maglev would be useful in a few large cities.
I have never eaten beef, except for 2 occasions.

Recently, I ordered an impossible burger. It was so close to real beef (or as I remember it), that after 1 bite I stopped. I wasn't sure if I was eating real beef or not, and I didn't want to risk it.

For those who crave the taste of meat but want to be vegetarian: you must try the Impossible Burger.

Personally, I don't crave the taste of meat, I just like the form factor. So a good veggie patty is all I need.

BK was the first burger chain to carry the Gardenburger line of veggie burgers and this is why I would seek out BKs whenever I travelled. I hope they continue to carry them if they decide to include the IB too in their offerings.
I have an assortment of Django and flask-based websites and Django still works fine for new projects from my perspective, with the normal caveat that it really depends on what you want to do with it. If i had to redo some of my projects I'd probably use the Django rest framework more heavily as I ended up duplicating a lot of that functionality writing Ajax endpoints way back in the day, but I've not encountered issues where Django is the bottleneck in the system. Usually the bottleneck is a poorly optimised database index or something, which Django handles fine to a point.

however, since I've ended up utilizing SQLalchemy and Pandas in a lot of my projects I have since tended to use Flask+SQLalchemy a lot more so my old fuzzy brain doesn't have to try and remember the variations between two different ORM syntaxes.
When you think of an American state with a growing population you can take the existing infrastructure as a given and plan for rail for your new capacity. Unless you are willing to say we're just not going to add transportation capacity for our new citizens, you face a choice of road, rail, or air. Rail is often a good choice.

As for "far apart" this seems irrelevant. Ohio has a greater population density than does Spain, but Columbus, Ohio's principal city, hasn't had a passenger train in 42 years while Cordoba, with half the population, enjoys ten trains per hour service including a high-speed train to Sevilla, Madrid, and Malaga. Anybody could build a Columbus-Dayton-Indianapolis high-speed rail line but we lack the will to do it.
Why Microsoft's new Edge browser could be a true Google Chrome rival
Define 'better'.

I'm not being (entirely) flip. After leaving Chaco they built a few more great houses, but ended up in a more hospitable environment with presumably lower environmental stress. Many different community styles seemed to form - variations on the Chaco culture. It's up to interpretation, but it seems likely that there were egalitarian and generally peaceful living coupled with social experimentation, but still stressed by environmental factors. Then the Spanish came, and relations were extraordinarily inhumane - slavery, massacres, famine, and so on.

It's a lot of conjecture - no written records, and after the treatment by first the Spanish and then US Government the descendants are almost entirely silent on the matter despite having significant oral traditions on these matters.

I disagree. Momofuku Nishi in New York sometimes (weekend brunch only, I believe; the rest of the time it's a boring fast food version) serves a high-end version of the Impossible Burger for lunch, and it's decidely not a fast-food burger. It's the best veggie burger I've had the pleasure of eating.

Define 'crimes' is the issue. Once it is in place, it only takes a slight change to the law, or a Government acting extra-judicially, to become a problem.
I'm finding product briefs for 4G and 5G basebands listing host DMA capabilities, so it's still enough of a thing to keep vendors offering it.
"m" is to select a menu item from the list presented on the current page. "C-s" is for text search across the whole manual. And then there is "i" which is to search in the index of the manual.

What does pledge() do here? Apache usually drops to nobody, daemon, or www (eg as a user without privilege on the host at all) after opening a socket. Does OpenBSD's httpd run as root so it can invoke a low-privilege EUID request process? Because running as nobody doesn't include becoming a different user, unless calling a setuid binary, which is kindof possible, if awkward, with Apache (eg. because you'll want that only after auth, hence with a setuid program matching the authenticated client).
> We all know that modern games have become bloated, weighed down by useless features, achievements, anti piracy measures, piles of assets, and other junk. Not only that but developers are constantly taken advantage of, made to crunch for no pay, mass layoffs, etc. Lives have been ruined, and for what? So you could watch your horse poop or play dominoes in an open world game?

I am not sure that it's fair to compare a business card game to AAA games. The depth and complexity just isn't there. It's a randomly generated ski slope that you press left or right to navigate. Fun for a few minutes? Sure. But fun for multiple sessions? Not really.

I've played something like 1500 hours of Overwatch that I bought for $30. The depth of the game is just spectacular, and it keeps you coming back to play more. They add new heroes and new maps regularly. The core game itself is fun. I've made many friends. I met my girlfriend in that game.

The polish and complexity is just not comparable to a business card game. Yeah, they had to pay developers to make matchmaking servers and automatic update processes and add new heroes and code "events" and make a storefront to buy lootboxes. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Blizzard made money. The engineers on the project made money. I enjoyed my time playing the game. It's just a totally different universe from a 30-second throwaway game.

The lesson to take away, is that anything can be simple. The question is: is the simplest possible thing even worth it? Games like Overwatch changes people's lives and become apart of them. Random skiing... good blog post I guess, but where is the impact? What would the world be like without this game?
I'm continually impressed with the lowering of the bar for such professions every time I encounter another basic thing that some doctors are completely unaware of, and I'm sorry to hear you had to deal with that.

I've had a lot of complaints about various psychiatrists, but one constant even among the worst has been that they were always very, very cautious about the need to taper and the possible risks involved.
My original comment was really focused on my narrow read of the question in the thread title. My comment is basically "because there is clear A/B test data to support the decision".

I take your comment as a valid answer to a broader question -- something like "thinking about the bigger picture, and envisioning all possibilities, how could and should SFUSD work?" I have a lot of thoughts on that too.

But if I take your comment as a direct rebuttal, on my same topic, I think it's an impractical way to manage the system. It's like you're arguing that middle school alg is a cool feature that shouldn't cause the app to fall over, and we should redeploy the cool feature and reengineer everything. I don't agree that your conclusions flow from your premises and I think the pragmatic approach (given your premises) is to disable the feature while we do the reengineering.
It's shocking when psychiatrists don't know the side effects of the drugs they're prescribing.

My partner started taking sertraline (Zoloft) for depression, and started grinding their teeth at night. Their dentist asked if they'd started taking any new medicine lately, and was like "oh yeah that'll do that."

My partner's psychiatrist literally did not believe that the medication could cause this - despite it being right there on WebMD, not exactly secret knowledge.

Currently looking for a new psychiatrist.
Individual independence and convenience were a goal in American culture the middle of the 20th century, until the externalities of that were understand.

There's some famous interview - can't remember with who - about how at the time getting a car gave incredible freedom nobody had experienced before. It was a big part of how people saw the American dream in the last century, before the impact was understood.
I like this idea.

Apple could do it practically for free too, if it was something like "Any accredited journalist can trade their iPhone for a refurb at any Apple store at any time. We'd appreciate, but not require, some information about the general areas of stories you cover and any threats you're suspicious might be focused on you."
How to Prepare a Tech Talk
Is there evidence that Cisco is intentionally creating backdoors?

A backdoor by mistake is incompetent, not evil.

Building censored search products and collecting the amount of consumer data that google does without clearly informing consumers is evil, and it's clearly intentional.

Cisco may not be perfect, but I've yet to see evidence that it's blatantly evil
No. Surveillance is something that easily sold with "think of the children" or under the pretense of national security, most people don't understand or comprehend the issue to care; It is a fight for public opinion and educating them of the risk, but it is not a profitable venture nor an easy one when big brother can shut you up before you can finish your breakfast.
That's weird! Maybe it's some confusion between the PS/2 mouse and the PS/2 keyboard both using the same I/O port.. Does it help if you give it a little keyboard input before the mouse input? What OS are you running QEMU on?
RE: "much bigger research" - fully agreed! Sometimes, I daydream and wonder what it would be like if it were my job to do something like this for, say, two whole months. Then I could try tackling issues like making this more musical. Then again, I know that if I had two months, I'd try to break the 80 WPM barrier.

In the end, I don't think there are many practical applications to something like this. I only had one real problem that could potentially be solved by this—it's when I'm working in a music program with my piano and limited physical desk space. The keyboard would be out of reach, so I could press an escape chord on the piano to enter Keyiano Mode, type whatever I needed, then reenter Piano Mode. The learning curve could be decreased by making on-screen overlays to show you what each key would do at any given time.

But yeah, that's solidly in daydream territory since I've got bigger fish to fry for now.
Oh, they print the game on a paper business card - I thought this would be about handheld games on one of those credit-card-sized consoles.

Those are cool, but I guess the games are also much bigger at tens to hundreds of kilobytes.

Fun project, thanks for sharing!
RTX isn't driven by increases in sheer transistor density. It uses dedicated, specialized hardware, along with machine learning denoising algorithms. These are very new areas of development, not yet bound by the factors slowing down Moore's law.

I brain-drained myself out of the US[1] and I applaud your decision. I think we need to vote with our feet on the topic of a sane and respectful immigration system. I hope you do well and make lots of cash - and end up paying absolutely none of that to the country that made your life so difficult in taxes.

[1] I was natural born so it was entirely by choice. Specifically, my wife was not in the US and we compared what it would take to get me into her country vs. her into mine and it was a difference of... starkness, thousands of dollars and the possibility of her being unable to work for a period.
