Those are issues with the CMS being used to host the blog. The blog has been around for a long time and isn't using BaseWeb.

What you're suggesting is that when someone releases a library with a commitment to accessibility, they are also responsible to reach out to some completely unrelated comms-focused team, take over their CMS workflow, rewrite it entirely with the new framework, and only then make a blog post about the thing you were trying to talk about.
I mostly agree with you but there is no reason you can't have a strong passcode on your phone that protects your accounts using something other than passwords.
There’s a third possible future, where a significant number of individuals buy autonomous vehicles as investments, effectively renting them out on a rideshare aggregator as one might buy an investment property to rent out.

However, this aggregator almost certainly won’t be Uber or Lyft. It’s very unlikely that the time between now and ubiquitous, consumer-level AVs will be shorter than the time before Uber is acquired by Verizon for pennies on the dollar.

One could argue the entire purpose of investment capital is to spend it.
The one spot I see swappable batteries probably happening is on large trucks where space isn't at so much of a premium and the charge time actually costs the operators money. In cars yeah the batteries probably won't be in an accessible area for easy swapping.
I really want Librem to succeed. I am willing to pay quite a bit more, for a less capable device, if it respects me as a user. So much performance that we have these days is just fluff, anyway.

I really hope that they bake enough into the price to be sustainable on low volume. I don't see this phone being anything more than niche in the near and intermediate future, and if priced right, maybe it can survive on that.
Confirmed both the Hey Siri and Power+Volume tricks do work on an iPhone 8-Plus running iOS 12.2. Wonder if it doesn’t work on older phones, but surprised it’s not tied to iOS version.
Yes. Biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. It's relatively common for companies to IPO while they're still in clinical trials, which by definition means they can't earn any revenue (unless they sell some IP or research oriented products like biological models/reagents/etc to other pharma/biotech researchers on the side).

Tech companies with actual revenue have a step up in that regard.

"bioscience engineers". Uber is HQ'd in San Francisco and is 95% democrat/liberal engineers. Ask someone that works there.
I disagree with why Western commentators struggle to accept China’s ‘success’ - it’s not sour grapes or jealousy as you suggest.

China is breaking all of the established rules that have guided western societies for decades/centuries: Governments work for the people. Authoritarianism doesn’t work. Faking and copying will fail. Hubris leads to a fall.

China’s political model and economic models have worked exceptionally well on a number of levels for 3-4 decades now, but to a lot of people, it still just looks like an authoritarian government forcing present and future generations to make vast sacrifices (health, quality of life, freedoms, rights) for the benefit of the CCP.

Time will tell.
Yeah, but the reasoning I heard from him on that made no sense and was not clarified.

From what I remember he said if you stay up all night you don't sleep 16 hours the next night to make up for the missing 8 hours (you may only sleep 12) therefore you never make up that 4.

I'd suspect that it doesn't work that way and you can catch up without requiring double the amount of time (there's probably a consistent overhead).

If I'm missing some core of his argument please let me know, but from what I heard it made me dismiss the rest as probably bad.
> Why is it the end user's job to determine what is spam and what is legitimate?

Who else could determine that? I could hire you to send me emails about Viagra sales. They would not be unsolicited, because I specifically asked you to. They wouldn't be commercials, either, so they wouldn't be Spam. An automatic filter can't determine if it's spam or not, it can only take an educated guess.

Folks like me who use Raspberry Pi for web surfing will also agree. There are far too many sites requiring javascript for things that definitely don't improve the user experience, and instead make the experience clumsy (reloading the text just because javascript wants to do something to it, for example) and slow as molasses.
Exactly. That’s how pegs are maintained.

If Tether has full reserves, it makes sense for them to maintain the peg: buy Tethers at a 1%+ discount and cancel them ad nauseum.

I’m sure some desperate holders would even take a 10% haircut right now.

This is no different than a corporation’s treasury buying back its own stock and cancelling it.
I feel like our legislature hasn't scaled up with the economy and inflation.

I feel this not just in the corporate world, but individuals as well. Only financially speaking, parking tickets and speeding tickets are an annoyance to me. If I didn't have an ulterior motive of being a good citizen, I could easily rationalize tickets as a tax. For others, they are oppressive given the severity of the offense. I don't think this is right.
Pools are where the money is at, IMHO. If they can put together a good predictive transportation model, then I think they will really have a killer app. Personal transportation is just too costly for regular use. But having an "Uber Bus" that shows up down the street from your house right when you need it, then can bring you home right after work for maybe $5/day will have wide-spread appeal.
For the property owner they are
Yep. That's why context should be used very very rarely or never. When I teach react, I try to make a long detour around them. I would not consider it being the most important concept. Its only a side effect model.

That's a great idea. I've run my own mail servers since 1999. I'd happily join a union of independent mail operators with the purpose of lobbying Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo to treat us as first-class citizens.
Not because of the software, but because of the customers and the dev team?
1. The regulations that Uber skirted around and then loosened up to provide more drivers can also be used by other companies. The gates are open, but not only to Uber.

2. Drivers and customers are fickle. My market used to be mostly Uber and is now mostly Lyft because all the drivers hate Uber. When Uber and Lyft run out of cash to blow on subsidies, they don't really have much of a selling point.

The problem with Uber's business model is that the main cost is the driver, who is not going to go anywhere anytime soon. It's no Amazon, where they have efficiencies of scale in logistics, datacenters, etc.; you don't get economies of scale by being bigger in the taxi business. It seems more like Moviepass.
In gmail, you can create a filter to skip the spam folder. I regularly receive emails where, at the top it says "this would have gone to spam, but you told us not to send it there".

I doubt this affects things when messages are rejected at the protocol level, but if your problem is emails showing up in the spam folder, this might fix it.
The requirements all look like they are leaning towards Slack?
I think the bigger question is why they're losing so much money - from an operating perspective I'd expect costs to be really low.
So if you want to fundraise, you must be profitable? If that’s the case, what’s the point of fundraising? A lemonade stand is more profitable than Slack, but the upside potential for Slack is vastly greater. So showing a GAAP profit suggests that a lemonade stand is more valuable and worthy of an investment than Slack?

Should Tesla be delisted? How about Amazon? They didn’t make a profit for the majority of their existence. GAAP profits as a condition of listing is just ridiculous. Almost all green energy companies lose money, so what you seem to be implying is that the public shouldn’t be allowed to invest in the Teslas of the world because they aren’t profitable?

An IPO is a fundraising event. That’s all. If we are to say that no company should be able to fundraise if they have loses, then very, very few companies would ever have access to capital. An IPO isn’t an endorsement by the SEC, not should it be.

And this is why I'd rather get nothing instead of a gift card.
For many doctors hounded by medical malpractice claims, it's business as usual
1) doesn't work except in narrow circs, because there will always be an uncomfortable delay between ordering and arrival. And there are a lot of situations where that's either inconvenient (e.g you're cold and getting rained on) or more inconvenient (missing a flight because an event has removed all the available cars to the other side of the city.)

2) is a huge insurance headache. And most people aren't going to want strangers doing random things in their cars - whether it's leaving crumbs on the floor, spilling booze, or having sex.

It's the AirBNB problem - the service starts off well with high quality buyers and sellers, but over time the reliability of both degrades.

My guess is that 2) will be tried for a while but will not appeal to most owners. 1) will become a thing, but "popular" self-drive-sharing will acquire a sleazy and low-rent reputation.

0) will be an expensive upscale service with guaranteed nice cars and quickest possible delivery.

But (square root of minus one) will be something else entirely - a new disruptive AI-enhanced service that gives users live local price and availability updates on everything, from transport to deliveries to fast food to accommodation to special items.

This will algorithmically disrupt the algorithms of the disrupters, who will of course complain that it's unfair that technology is destroying their core business.
Careful.

Corporations operate to fulfill their mandate to shareholders, which is to make a profit. Employees, suppliers, real estate, customers, even executives are just mechanisms to achieve that end goal. There's no real sense of justice beyond not getting shut down.

People, on the other hand, live in the real world, and need protection from forces that wish to obliterate what they need to seek happiness. This is the primary function of government, ideally, to create the markets within which corporations and people can get along and operate to their goals with relative safety.

Yes, we need corporations. But we are not corporations.
Those people wouldn't have learned how the internet works regardless. It's simply not something most people care to understand.
If I make a widget for $100 (50/50 fixed, variable) and sell it for $90, I've covered the variable costs. But If I only have one line, all those fixed costs are attributable to that one line, so its still not making a profit.

If you had multiple lines and one line that wasn't making a profit, but was making a contribution to fixed costs, it maybe better overall to keep that line in place. That isn't what we seem to be talking about here, but it depends how 'fixed' the fixed costs are.
Have you bought large quantities or are you relying on what exchanges say? Are you sure that that large quantities are not wash trades? I’d be very wary.

In addition to eliminating my back problems, the deadlift helped me in one unexpected area: I had a mild RSI and now I don't. I started from not being able to bend over to pick something off the floor without pain, and got to 495lbs for 5 reps. I also eat much better now, another unexpected side benefit, because you can't really make progress at this without eating the right things.
Your conclusion is probably correct, but you also need to know how many classes of events you looked at. The particular form of cancer wasn't set in advance, it arose out of the data, so you need to multiply the number of towns by the number of types "rare cancer".

There seem to be about 1500 towns in the US with populations between 10000 and 25000: https://www.statista.com/statistics/241695/number-of-us-citi...

There seem to be about 200 defined types of "rare cancer" (where rare is defined as affecting less than 1 in 100000 people[3]): https://www.macmillan.org.uk/information-and-support/audienc...

My programming is better than my math[1], so I brute forced it as a simulation. Using 2000 towns, each with a population of 10000, and testing for 200 different types of cancer with a prevalence of 1 in 100000, I got this distribution:

1: 36393
2: 1831
3: 63
4: 1

That is to say, in the single simulation I ran[2], with a higher prevalence of 1 in 100000 vs 1 in 1000000, but a lower population of 10000 rather than 15000, I found that 1 in 2000 towns had 4 incidences of one of the 200 types of cancer I considered. This proves nothing directly, and environment probably played a role in the town in the story, but it does imply to me that it's not absurd that a small town might have 4 incidences of a rare cancer merely by chance.

[1] What's the right way to calculate this mathematically?

[2] My slow Perl code took about 10 minutes to run while I was writing this, and I committed to showing the numbers generated regardless of what they came out as.

[3] Oops, reading more closely I now see that the linked article is distinguishing between "rare" and "very rare".

Horay, finally, where do i throw my money,
I liked the blandness of it, and I would try to put as much in my mouth as I could reasonably chew on, and just chew on it as long as possible.

I've looked into oral fixations, iron deficiency (pica is a symptom), and I can't really explain it except that I found it soothing and a way to cope with other sensory things that I found overwhelming. Now I think of it similar to cigarettes, like a hypothetical pleasing vice that I may be tempted by but feel no compulsion toward.
You can't really go from USDT -> USD directly. You go from USDT -> BTC and then BTC -> USD. So the drop in BTC is really people accepting fewer BTCs for the same USDT.

Noticeable integrates with Github via Zapier. You can create a Zap on Zapier that listens for your Github pushes and publish a new post in a Noticeable project.

Using Noticeable has multiple benefits over a Wordpress site: people can react to your publications with emoji or hidden comments. In addition, you get analytics per post and a trend at the project level.

Besides, Noticeable allows managing accesses to your collaborators, scheduling posts, collecting emails from subscribers interested by your updates but also to make announcements available in the right context on your pages via a nice and customizable widget.

There are other features such as publication segmentation and IP access control but the benefits of such features depend on your use-case.

Uber revenues minus cost to operate Uber car service = $940 million in 2018.
They can deduce a lot and not to mention Foursquare profits on selling check-in info to fin companies. Also, check this blog from Uber http://www.whosdrivingyou.org/blog/ubers-deleted-rides-of-gl... where they (with some confidence) deduce when someone was involved in one night stand.

Not to mention they have valuable information about you on how sensitive you are to price changes, who you interact with (sharing rides), what places you frequent (bars, gyms, churches, etc), places you travel and on what season. It's a goldmine and more by cross-referencing with other data sets. They can even know when you are sick if you get an Uber to the doctor or if you are friendly or not (drivers also review you) and how strict you are with other people (your reviews of drivers). It's all about the meta-data.
I’ve found that it boils down to either excess energy not burned off, or not enough calories to slow the mind down yet. So if my mind is racing a bit I get up, eat something small and light on the stomach like a banana or cereal in the dark without tv or the phone. I use some of this time to meditate as well.

Also getting enough sun or vitamin d helps. Trying to burn off as much energy before my mind has a chance to race before the end of the evening.
> But your body doesn't absorb the alcohol instantly

Yes, it does. I mean, it takes time to fully absorb it, but alcohol begins entering the bloodstream immediately when reaching the stomach, it is not digested.

Rapidity of effect will vary by a lot of personal and other factors.
So, uh. How do you know?
Call me a snob, but Uber's criteria for what qualifies as an acceptable car has dramatically declined to the point where even Taxis are sometimes "nicer". Combine that with the fact that the drivers often don't know the neighborhood and rely exclusively on GPS (so tend to be worse drivers than a taxi).

I'm left feeling like the fare - strictly from the perspective of a consumer - is actually too high.
How dare you sir?

Overyhped stock market cap aside, their annual revenue(not profit mind you) in 2018 was 50B, a fine of 10% of yearly revenue is a huge hit for any company, another 0 would of put them out of business.

You don’t even have to get a device to get started. A cheap (but useful) app like Sleep Cycle will give you lots of info to start noticing patterns.
So there is no literature, art, music, community, philosophy, traditions in China?
China is far from perfect, but this holier-than-thou attitude is nauseating. It is awful to be a Tibetan or Huygur or even a college boy asking for reform, because China will crush you.

At the same time it was/is awful to be a Guatemalan/Nicaraguan/Iraqi/Cambodian under American treatment so they see you as sub-human and disposable. So except for economic purchasing power difference (which are more or less rapidly decreasing) I dont see any substantial difference between China and USA.
Thank you for using it, unfortunately no. I don't qualify to use it myself either.
Can I ask the make and model of the phone you're using? I assume it's on a custom ROM and rooted since you said there aren't any Google Play Services related stuff running.

I have a Galaxy Tab S5e on the way that runs Android + Samsung DeX Linux. I'm hoping to use the Linux aspect heavily, so less of my info flows to Google. But I'll need to dig into it a bit to understand how they keep the data separate (if they do).
Another mirror (not as good as archive.org's however): https://archive.is/PFRPp
I think that's a really interesting concept. People think Uber will reach a scale where either it can use automation to reduce costs or jack up prices. It may well be the other way around - as it matures regulations catch up and the loopholes it was using to keep costs down disappear and their costs slowly increase instead.
Ask HN: As managers, how do you make sure your distributed team is aligned?
We use Slack for internal comms, but it's used mostly for chit-chat conversations and real-time issues. Is there a product for slow-thinking updates where I can share teams news and align my +40 people team? How can you be sure people don't actually miss things in the noise of Slack/Email?
>the ability to purchase consumables like fuel and tires at wholesale prices, the ability to have your own in-house team of mechanics who can specialize in just your fleet, etc.

But they don't purchase any of that stuff now, so doesn't matter if you get to economies of scale. I understand that when you remove the driver, a huge cost goes away, but it's replaced with having to own and maintain a vehicle.
This is only tangentially related, but as someone who is incredibly new to the Systems programming world, what would people recommend for getting into Arduino programming? How different is it from programming the GPIO on the Raspberry Pi?
