Hi,

Like your clean design. When I click on "Try for free" - the app layout shows up for a second and then comes sign-up form.

Would be useful to get a feeling of the pricing level(s).

Everyone who ever goes on strike is aware that they are doing so at the cost of their wages for that period. That's why long strikes are rare and gruelling.

However, the cost to Uber is hard to predict - the strike is on the day of the IPO. If they can depress the share price at IPO by a few percent that potentially costs Uber far more than all the lost rides.

Edit: I suppose the entertaining thing about the gig economy is that it's possible to be "on strike" at employer A while working for employer B. Especially as there's no picket line here. (I think a few French anti-Uber strike/protests did have roadblock picket lines)
Ironically the S-1s showed that Lyft objectively treats their drivers worse than Uber.
Yes fixing bugs first is sensible, but you still need to prioritise projects as well.

My point is that there is no need to lose the benefits of separate boards in order to solve the (non-)issue of quickly finding out what to do next.

And if you have a single board then try easily seeing how product x is going...

(btw, by colour-coding I meant features, bugs, etc. so you can immediately see what's what)
Cool! Does flutter do web apps/frontends yet? I think when/if it does it’ll be really interesting for small tech teams in non-tech businesses.

I work in a municipality and we simply can’t keep up with different frontend stacks for web, mobile and desktops or even the pace of which modern JS framework versions become obsolete.
The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli (https://www.amazon.com/Order-Time-Carlo-Rovelli/dp/073521610...) is an amazing and eye opening book on the topic of time. Carlo, a theoretical physicist who specializes in quantum gravity, slowly peels back the layers of the conceptual onion to get to some pretty strange fundamental truths about time.

As a side note, the Audible book is read by Benedict Cumberbach and is a delightful listen.
Actually the best way to deal with unicode in almost all situations is to use UTF-8, and dealing with UTF-8 in C is trivial.

For other encodings, well you need to decode explicitly (or just go for wide chars). Shouldn't come as a surprise, and not a big deal either.
>it seems to work fine

How do we know that? Interviewing is near a total crapshoot from what I can tell based on my 13 years of experience (~8 of which being actively involved in the process, 3 as a decision maker.) I have yet to find a method that weeds out people who can whiteboard, but can't deliver, or those who seem to have a great personality and work ethic, but stop showing up to work and/or throw tantrums when they don't get their way.

Obviously some people emit red flags like the Sun emits energy, but I'm I don't believe you can assume it's "working fine" without some baseline definition of "fine" and a corresponding study.
Whatever time is, our favorite way to 'pass' it is by generate entropy.
Chemistry explains inorganic things, those inorganic things become increasingly complex, eventually able to reproduce somehow, so you look to biology for explanation. You get evolutionary biology which might kind of explain how we came to be (super-self aware beings, capable of perceiving things, like time for example, or creating the internet to share ideas, or cars to commute). Then social/behavioral sciences attempt to explain us specifically. But even more fundamental than that first step (chemistry) is physics and math. And physics and math tell us that we are moving to a state of more entropy. Sometimes it feels like this is the best explanation for why we behave the way we do (driving to jobs we hate to do nothing important, making nuclear bombs, etc.).

End result is we're fked!
Uber will likely do whatever they believe will be best to not disrupt their IPO - which won't be agreeing to any significant changes to change Uber's projections. After the IPO, who knows. They ultimately want to get rid of drivers altogether and aiming for the Tesla play, Tesla Network with driverless vehicles - another $1B just invested in that technology, however Tesla is probably 3-7+ years ahead of Uber.

How will other Uber drivers know if you're driving around and not part of the protest? I suppose they could each book Uber's for pickup and then harass any driver that comes to them - however they'd have to use unrelated-unassociated phones numbers, as Uber likely would block or prevent Uber drivers from booking during days they know there are protests.

I'd certainly not buy Uber or Lyft; out of the two I would have bought Lyft at the IPO over Uber, however certainly not hold it very long-term.
I haven't found one yet, but I'm seriously considering doing this as a side project.
I think you're maybe over-interpreting the article.

There is no (grammatical) article in its title. You seem to be assuming the article is implicitly "the", which would imply that it's intended for a more-or-less universal audience. It could just as easily be "a", which would then mean that it's more of a personal rant about the author's specific situation. I'd argue that the leading two sentences in the italicized portion of the article imply that it's the latter.

For the sake of throwing my own $0.02 in, I also have a historical habit of blithely ignoring wxWidgets and QT for my hobby projects. Their being written in C++ bit is a bit of a deal-breaker for me. The quagmire of interacting with C++ code from a language that isn't itself C++ in a cross-platform way results in me shaving my fill of yaks during working hours; I have little taste for doing even more of it during time that's supposed to be reserved for fun.
Near the very end of the blogpost:

> I should mention that I am a software engineer who makes a decent salary, so it’s not like I absolutely need extra money.

If he had started with that I probably wouldn't have read any further. It kind of makes a rather large difference as to what their personal journal post is actually about.

In this case, a luxury problem.

Listen up, recognize the problem (check), then .. just try to not do it. You'll find out whether it's an obsessive compulsive disorder, or just a lack of perspective. The latter, having recognized the problem (again, check), ... is easier to correct than changing a habit (like fitness, or meditating, etc). Truly. If your mind still keeps running back to money if you don't need it, that's an obsession. If you find you just don't like it, take up a new thing that doesn't make money. Since you're not doing it for the money, it's fine to drop it, too.
Could you elaborate on what you explained to her?
It reads like the current fact is that they don't know why the ice didn't regenerate now.

And then they follow up with basically saying this proves that rescinding ice does affect the Penguins, so 'future' (not current, as they haven't detected any changes) could affect them.

I.e, it's speculation.
No idea. It's now true in the UK, for example: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/dec/19/uber-lose...
>Are a lot of jobs really algorithm development though

Probably not "a lot", but personally I have _only_ worked in companies where they are our bread and butter (Biotech and finance.)
The company loses billions of dollars a year paying drivers more than the drivers make for the company. What about this is putting the company ahead of the drivers? If we were talking about a company like Google or Facebook that makes insane amounts of money, then I'd understand your argument. But Uber is already just a driver subsidy machine.

Describe in any reasonable fashion, how Uber would come up with even $5b more a year to pay for healthcare of 4 million people. Do it with concrete steps, and not just appeals to emotion or jokes.

That's the response you came up with when you finally had to say something real? I will gladly accept the brigade of downvotes from you and the rest of the cargo cult labor organizers who express zero interest in real dialogue.
That’s nice, but it isn’t recurring revenue (among other issues with this idea)
Gazprom logos are common on stadium billboards and team jerseys in a number of European football leagues, so that alone probably doesn't raise suspicion. It's probably the fact that this is a firm handling a lot of other people's money, in an industry that's tightly regulated to reduce fraud, money laundering etc.

I was silly enough to sign up without looking in to it because it was recommended on HN. Then I realised they need this bridge software to connect. I asked about it stating I'd like to build it my self and confirm it is libre software. They just sent back a generic link to a .deb beta file. I had a look and its got this eula.txt with the standard you-have-no-rights. Messaged them again asking what they intended to do license-wise and they ignored me. Someone else has written their own bridge and put it on github but it's a bit of a joke to have to do that. Not sure what to move to now, mailbox.org was another I saw recommended.

In the instructions they ask the user to "always trust" the cert for all use cases, including SSL. If you do that, any app that uses OS certs can be MITMed. It should be enough to trust the cert for IPSec only.
Uber has a brilliant albeit sad business model. In accounting terms, they have no fleet maintenance or deprecation charges. Instead, that’s completely offloaded onto the employee, which even further drags down their pay over time, The business model plays off the boiling a frog in water model. Where if you make incremental changes over a long period (in this case car wear and tear), the subject is less likely to notice. I don’t hear anybody talking about that.
> And I think the core argument is correct: If you don't have a neural net that can estimate depth from cameras as well as a human, you don't have a viable FSD system.

I agree that this statement is probably correct. But they're assuming the positive outcome here, and we have no proof that's correct.

In fact, it may well turn out that the current approaches to autonomous driving using neural networks won't ever yield a viable FSD system. In fact I'd take that side of the bet, to be honest.
Not necessarily. I use both apps. I'm sure a lot of other people do too. More people would use Lyft if it's the cheaper option (and not surging like Uber would be in this scenario).
Raise prices? You know, like every other business that has to charge more than its cost of production in order to have positive margins?
Thanks for the useful info! That’s what I was looking for
Fair point. Interested in seeing how this all plays out.
Companies tend to use algorithms for interviews for new college grads not because that's what the job entails, but because that reflects what the candidate's background was about (college).

If someone is fresh out of a 4 year program that was all about data structures, algorithms, operating systems, etc, then demonstrating mastery of those topics tells an employer that a person is smart and can learn large amounts of complex technical material.
I'm fairly sure cars have a required minimal / expected lifetime (especially in the EU), but I wouldn't be surprised if that's well earlier than the expected lifetime of their batteries. So far so good, I haven't heard any news about battery failure or used Tesla cars being worthless due to needing a battery replacement. Mind you that is likely to happen sooner rather than later, it's been nearly 10 years since the first Model S models appeared.
How much are Revolut paying you for that post? It almost sounds like one of their dodgy marketing practices.
Ironically, these dangers are not thwarted by FSF licenses. Even more, the persistence with which FSF fights anything that would dare touch the pillars that they marked as "freedom" is holding back any meaningful discussion about alternatives.

For example:

https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/recent-licensing-updates

> We added the Commons Clause to our list of nonfree licenses... It's particularly nasty given that the name, and the fact that it is attached to pre-existing free licenses, may make it seem as if the work is still free software.

So while RMS was undeniably a force of good, we should take his advice with grain of salt, and start discussing which freedoms we can protect, and what the price for that is.
News: dies after being run over by a Tesla in autopilot mode. Was carrying a weird printout.

Why do they need unsafe for a video encoder / decoder? There is no other way around in their example?
> How do we know that?

Because businesses are still able to solve problems, service customers, etc. Of course, there is room for improvement.
On the website it talks about openCV and how to fool that, as well as the general techniques used. I still think from the tips shown that it would be very effective today. For exaple, it talks about how the most distinct features of a face are the nose and eyes, and that hiding or obscuring them works well.

Newer technology likely gets much better at spotting noses and eyes, but taking them entirely out of the picture probably helps. Also the asymmetry I can imagine helps a lot.

Here's a solution. Create a ride sharing platform that lets the drivers actually be business owners. An Uber clone that would allow drivers bid on the price of the ride and the "business" would take a small cut. The value Uber created was getting people to buy into letting strangers (other than taxies) drive them around and convincing people who otherwise wouldn't be taxi drivers to become ones. So now that those two barriers have been broken down why not take advantage of it? Would be easy to recruit the drivers and why wouldn't they join such a network?

Eating a whole foods planet based diet can reverse diabetes and significantly reduce inflammation.

By eating a planet based diet all my numbers have normalized. I eat and sleep better. My energy has increased. I take 0 drugs. It's been a really eye opening experience. I'm 38.

Does face detection today use the same kind of trained neural nets that YoLo or others use? Watching this video [0] from their site it seems it's using a much more static algorithm trying to detect particular features which is what the CV Dazzle makeup aims to disrupt. As far as I understand one of the benefits of the neural net models is that they're less reliant on defined features than the older CV models.

I haven't looked for any recent research in this area but when I saw some way back when it was, in one sense, somewhat depressing. I forget if it was for undergrad or MBA programs but, as I recall, the correlations were basically to SATs/GMATs and class rank/grades. Of course, your results will vary depending on how you define success but basically quantitative hard measures had the most predictive value.

Potential for lower cost as well, the part count of an electric car is lower than a petrol car. (no combustion engine, no gears, and I'm sure they can simplify the electronics as well due to not having as much legacy baggage as other car manufacturers).

I’m surprised there aren’t more co-ops using this kind of tech. I understand why the Facebook clones don’t work because of the lack of economy of scale, but since ridesharing is really kind of local, it should occur more.

I would also be wondering about Switzerland, which has some of the most liberal employment laws in Europe.

Even though, an employer can't really do as she pleases. Some of the statutes are changeable, some are not. And some are only changeable to the advantage of the employee. For example: Minimum annual vacation is 4 weeks, which can be changed to 5 weeks, but not shortened to less than 4 weeks.

An American company (with a local subsidiary) arguing that you're not an employee, even though it controls all aspects of your work, and any dispute should be arbitrated in Dellaware would be laughed straight of court.
