And I clearly laid out what is wrong with 1 & 3.

1. Uber loses billions a year already, and they should lose more?

3. Health care? You kidding me? That's $300+ a month in the US, which would be a $15 billion/year expense for Uber.

Demands need to be structured in reality.

I’ve seen some programs do away with references, resumes and even interviews.

The programs that I’ve seen remove interviews usually did replace them with standardized stations with different scenarios.

E.g.: “Explain to someone how to wash their hands if they never have before”. If you can do that well, you can probably explain some health procedure you’ll later learn about and have to explain.

When his great Italian friend Michele Besso died, Einstein wrote a moving letter to Michele’s sister: ‘Michele has left this strange world a little before me. This means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction made between past, present and future is nothing more than a persistent, stubborn illusion.’

Many times in the past we have realized that it is our immediate intuitions that are imprecise: if we had kept to these we would still believe that the Earth is flat and that it is orbited by the sun.

Our intuitions have developed on the basis of our limited experience. When we look a little further ahead we discover that the world is not as it appears to us: the Earth is round, and in Cape Town their feet are up and their heads are down.

To trust immediate intuitions rather than collective examination that is rational, careful and intelligent is not wisdom: it is the presumption of an old man who refuses to believe that the great world outside his village is any different from the one which he has always known.

So if you want your NN to not detect gorillas as a human, you have to include pictures containing gorillas where they are not labelled as humans.

You are right, silly drivers, they should obviously give up some of their income to help Uber.
Apologies, I misspoke. SQS does have a FIFO+Exactly Once Processing mode, so it will never introduce duplicate messages into the queue. It of course doesn't have exactly once delivery without additional state tracking on the consumer outside of the queue.
It's interesting, because usually people/physicists that space is the emergent thing, and time is the fundamental dimension. I'm also glad that people are trying to reduce the number of dimensions rather than adding to them.

CV Dazzle [0] is/was a style of makeup that defeated facial recognition, and it seemed to work from multiple angles. Unfortunately it was released something like 5 years ago so I'm certain it won't withstand today's state of the art techniques. Looks like it was never really tested to work against deep learning-based techniques.

That said, I think somebody could very easily come up with an adversarial makeup camouflage recommender. Imagine an interactive visualization of the regions of confidence of a facial recommendation system, hooked up to your webcam. You could have a visual overlay of where to apply make up to most damage the classifier's confidence of your identity.

It's not necessary to mix everything on a single board just to answer that question
In fact, mixing everything may not even make answering that question easier.

Relative priorities of projects may change. If I tell my devs "project X has priority at the moment" they just need to focus on project X's board.

In any case, if you colour-code you can see at a glance what task looks most critical by looking across a few separate boards.

Uber drivers are unaware of the "opportunity cost”? Really? The main factor in their pay is something I'd say you should give them credit for being aware of.

Utterly absurd assumption, they know exactly the cost and better than anyone else.

Taxis still exist, surge pricing really will struggle above that. Most uber rides aren't of necessity, many studies have shown they replace public transport.
You could say the same about Objective C, and to a lesser extent Swift. While I respect your opinion, and somewhat agree on it being a weird choice to use Dart, I think there is value in learning it iff it becomes the ubiquitous way to write apps for mobile.
Most drivers drive for Lyft too so they'll keep driving. It's like if Home Depot workers go on strike lumber prices don't go up because the demand is absorbed by Lowes.

At my work place (which is the best place I've ever worked, hands down), we are considered highly paid engineers and on-call work is just part of our normal comp. On your given team, you do one week of on call work, and then rotate to the next team member. Usual team size is about 5 people. If something happens and you find yourself brutalized over night, the manager usually gives you a comp day.

Edit: we've done a lot of work around auto-remediation and removal of non-actionable alerts. Alerts should need human intervention. Some on call rotations we don't get a single page, some are noisy. But usually, I might wake up early or in the middle of the night once or twice every other rotation. Figured that was worth qualifying my answer.

I'm most familiar with Pinterest through kids' birthday parties. Most people of my acquaintance don't spend a lot of money on stuff they saw on Pinterest, however I've encountered some "whales" who drop lots of money on the Pinterest-perfect birthday party. So I wouldn't say Americans in general are that willing to spend, but we've got relatively higher rate of big spenders.

Funny story but I actually used that all the time till someone told me it wasn't a word and I believed them. Truth set adjusted. Thank you.

It sounds so much more natural.
Yeah but it is a "anything that can be done to a rat can be done to a human" thing. It says nothing of worthiness and everything about possibilities because worthiness is ultimately a matter of opinion.

It is like asking for bullets which only hurt guilty people whom it would be necessary to shoot.
For a while, the restrictions were justifiable because "Apple wants to do it right." And I thought some of the features they brought to market later seemed nicely done. The problem is that Apple applies the 90% rule in deciding if lifting a restriction is justified, but I found myself in that 10% enough that I finally switched last year. There are some things I miss from iOS, but not much.

I went in to dealer, money in hand, to buy a specific car I knew they had in stock and that I'd already picked out. The salesman then proceeded to convince me that I actually wanted this other model which would be much better for me. Fine you've convinced me, how much for that other car. Salesman comes back a couple of minutes later and sheepishly admits they don't actually have that car in stock and won't be getting any for 4-6 weeks. I walk out without buying a car.
It would likely depend on proximity and cross contamination.
From the Integrated Information Theory link below:

Intrinsic existence: To account for the intrinsic existence of experience, a system constituted of elements in a state must exist intrinsically (be actual): specifically, in order to exist, it must have cause-effect power, as there is no point in assuming that something exists if nothing can make a difference to it, or if it cannot make a difference to anything. Moreover, to exist from its own intrinsic perspective, independent of external observers, a system of elements in a state must have cause-effect power upon itself, independent of extrinsic factors. Cause-effect power can be established by considering a cause-effect space with an axis for every possible state of the system in the past (causes) and future (effects).

Great point. I guess my line of thinking was scoped to Uber alone.
I'll happily take $100,000 a year not to say anything in public. I'm sure 99% of the world's population would. Sounds like a very easy job.

The rest of it? yeah, requires some technical knowledge, some interpersonal skills. But no less work or stress than say a line manager or a senior employee.
>1. higher wages

Wasn't the entire point of Uber that they provided dynamic pricing based on the availability of drivers? If the wages are low, it's because there is an oversupply of drivers and a low demand for rides. Your option as a driver is to go do something else and drive at a time when the wages offered are more to your liking.
Wiring Multiple Datasources in a Spring Boot and Spring Data JPA Application
By no means do the authors suggest that this is an anti-surveillance system. Perhaps the methodology could be utilized, as has been shown in a variety of adversarial attacks on DNNs. But the GAN approach is entirely target DNN specific. Any minimal change to the DNN would require an entirely different adversarial solution. More practical approaches have existed for some time to thwart surveillance (https://hackaday.com/2008/08/27/testing-ir-camera-blocking/)
Given you confuse statements of fact with personal attacks, this conversation no longer makes no sense.
Bye.
You can reduce costs without sacrificing quality by identifying inefficiencies within your organization and streamlining them. Tim Cook made a name for himself by optimizing the logistical side of Apple. The cost reductions Apple has done have less impact on material finish and quality of the solution, and more impact reliability, repair-ability, and maintainability.

As a cost reduction technique, they rivet the keyboard to the upper chassis of the Macbook rather than the comparatively expensive process of tapping holes and using screws. This has no impact on product performance and quality, but if you happen to use an inferior keyboard then it makes repairs exceptionally difficult. As a result Apple is averse to performing repairs because what could have been an inexpensive keyboard swap now requires replacing the entire uni-body chassis which is an expensive machined part.

Another example is where the Macbook display FRC is soldered directly to the panel to avoid a connector that costs a penny in volume. This reduces manufacturing costs and part counts but introduces the risk that any issues with the FRC require the entire display to be replaced. That's exactly what happened because they made the FRC a few millimeters too short. Apple said that display failures were isolated and not a manufacturing defect however this year's model features an FRC that's a few millimeters longer.

These types of optimizations to the product might save a dollar or two in the BOM but they completely fail to take into consideration support requirements they introduce. Riveting a $ keyboard to a $$$$ machined aluminum chassis makes you adverse to even acknowledging an issue with the keyboard because you'll then have to replace the entire assembly. Forgoing a connector and soldering a $ FRC directly to the $$$$ display means that when the FRC fails due to stress from an engineering fault, you pretend it's an isolated issue to avoid having to replaced entire display assemblies on thousands of devices.
Fucking touchbar.
Adaptive battery works extremely well. The ML-side might be a slight in-vogue thing, but as long as it works I don't really care how it works (and it does work).

I've tried dart back in the Angular 2 beta days with Angular Dart and after using it I have the exact opposite feeling about it.

It's a thing that solved a lot of very real problems that are still halfassed by NPM and Node ecosystem - package manager, build system, tooling around it - it was all a step above the quality of TypeScript/NPM/JS. Saner object semantics, good standard library, good tooling - it just got me to solving the problems I had. DOM wrappers it had were very nice, came with their own wrappers for Observable events (from standard library). They had proper async/await implementation working waay before TS.

Dart feels like a better TypeScript and for me the learning curve was really low.

One issue I had with it was using Dartium to debug the code - Chromium build that ran Dart VM naively to avoid transpiling to JS all the time - it was buggy as hell back then. Supposedly the dev compiler for JS is fast enough now that this isn't an issue - and in the case of Flutter you're running Dart natively so it's irrelevant.

I'm looking forward to doing a new project in Flutter this weekend - I've played with a hello world app when it was in beta and I was very impressed with the dev experience - hopefully it lives up to it in practice.

In my experience (but maybe it's just me, maybe other people manage their projects differently), the type of task plays a greater role in its prioritization than the project. For example, we always fix bugs first, even if that pushes back delivery of new features. Stability issues are even more important than bugs. And security issues even more important than stability issues.

Yes you could have multiple boards, each with its own backlog ordered by priority, then use colours to see which tasks from which board are a higher priority. But surely the point of having an ordered list of tasks is to see which is the highest priority?
Ed Burns Talking about Coherence on Kubernetes
I'm not really sure what you're arguing here. I would certainly say consciousness is 'something more', and that this something more has to be something non-material (or at least using 'materials' that have wildly different properties than what we observe using the scientific method).

Theseus' ship is a problem for a purely materialistic explanation of consciousness, for, by that account, consciousness should be a function of your material makeup, and yet, it remains constant despite change in both what makes up your cells and the specific configuration of those cells.

As for RICH I don't know what that means.

Oooooooor all of the "Uber" drivers who are participating in this shutdown will log out of Uber for the day and drive exclusively for the 12 Uber competitors that they are currently simultaneously driving for.

Customers, who also use all 12 apps simultaneously, will be unable to get an Uber in a timely manner, open a different app, and the same driver who would otherwise have picked them up for Uber will pick them up for one of the twelve different competitors.

The driver gets paid, Uber doesn't get a cut, and a little bit of brand loyalty is lost as the customer is a little less likely to open Uber first the next time.
Enlightenment is the destruction of the perception that there is a separate watcher apart from the watched. Non-duality. Not-two. Just one. Since illusion requires three elements, the non-dual is just one element, there is no illusion.

Any time you step 'outside', like if you look at a chair, you're dwelling in illusion. Mind generated a 'tag' for the thing you're seeing. It's not really a chair, it's a bundle of atoms. But there's no bundle of atoms, that's also a tag generated by mind. The mind itself isn't what you think it is. Everything is an illusion.

Tricky to understand until you realize there's no such thing as enlightenment, it's just a religious dogma. Enlightened yogis are no different than the rest of us.

One can train the mind to perceive fewer distinctions, this is yogic practice. You can even arrive at a state of mind that you can call enlightenment. But the lie is revealed any time you open your mouth. The state of mind that is being trained is an illusion like everything else.

Real yogis understand this and do it anyway. Fake yogis try to fool you into believing that you can truly get rid of everything and 'merely exist'. It's not an illusion at this point, it's a lie.
It's a negotiation. You want a 100k job? You say you want a rate of 150k and the company will negotiate. It would be foolish to not assume this and it would be even more foolish to assume that Uber will just spontaneously give more to the drivers instead of their executives.
