Agreed. In SF whenever I called cabs they often wouldn't show up at all. I suppose they found a fare before they got to me. So features like ratings and assigned cars and ability to check the status added by Uber are all huge improvements for my usage.
really? because police killing people is my much bigger concern...
Since the hashes uses open addressing wouldn't they be susceptible to hash poisoning attacks?

I guess everything should be put in a context and evaluated relatively. How does it compare with other cities quadrupled in 2 or 3 decades? Yes blue sky, yes bycicle, yes sense of community. Those are available for tiny towns elsewhere in comparison. But how does Shanghai's planning work comparing to New Dheli? Mexico city? Other mega-cities?

main business model: rent seeking
The disruption of taxi/rental business is going to come way before from self driving cars becomes perfect. most people know how to and prefer to drive especially if its not long distance inside dense urban areas. the real use case will be the fact that self driving car will drive itself at its own pace to nearest suitable pick up point, where u can get behind the wheel and drive it where u need to go, then leave it there for it to figure out how to drive itself to next customer who needs it. half of the population prefers to drive the car themselves or their partner rather than share that tiny space with a stranger and be driven around. this completely solves the liability issue and pr nightmares that will come from 'killed by/because of self driving car' news.

Not to belittle your experience, but one of the key issues in an authoritarian state is that nobody is held to account.

So, if you’re a politician or a big businessman, you can say whatever you like. We have a 3 year plan to eradicate X. We will completely redevelop the entire southern sector of the city and everyone will be rich and happy. And we’ll do it in 2 years.

China does a lot and achieves a lot, but for example, each time you read something China related in the news, check how many times it says “China plans to....” or “Government announces plan to.....”
I WISH it was up to me, lots and lots of bureaucracy!
It remains insane that a company can require arbitration for violations of the actual law, rather than general contractual problems.
No, the alternative is less careful controlled growth. Uncontrolled growth is impossible: you need unlimited labor.

The market controls growth. Of course many factors manipulate the market (interest rates...). Boom/Bust is always going to be a factor because it isn't possible to know perfectly how much space we need before we need it. Boom/bust isn't even all bad, those who need space after the bust can get it cheap and start something interesting that they wouldn't otherwise) - artists for example need cheap space if they are to start a studio.

Groups of people behave differently than individuals. Corporations are constructed with the entire purpose of something that an individual wouldn't or couldn't do. It is the job of a board member to ensure that. A person in a company making a moral decision involving the company's behavior isn't acting from a sense of personal morality because it isn't happening to them. The consequences aren't generally on them, other than losing their job. Yes, companies can be amoral, but not for the same reasons that people can be amoral.

There doesn't need to be any rule, because computers simply don't make decisions that have legal relevance. Nothing a computer does is legally binding; things humans do using computers may be. Computers only facilitate things that humans do. If Outlook sends "you're hired" emails, it is legally binding if its controller intended to enter into a contract, and not if it was an error or accident. You don't have to consider the behavior of the computer at all when deciding legal ramifications.
For Chinese in Shanghai, unlike US, in fact, 90% of families in the country own their home, giving China one of the highest home ownership rates in the world.

Counterpoint: technology advances are devaluing co-location. The need for dense metropolises may decline noticeably in the next century. There's a lot of 21st century promises around this that have failed to deliver as quickly as expected, but the long-term trajectory is probably still there.

The idea is to have the baby on the mother’s body or next to it, touching.

When the child stirs, the mom can react without either of them fully waking up. And the child would not need to wake up, freak out and cry to get attended to, so they grow up without the wake-up-alone-into-terror neuropathways.

> While you could do this before the police took position of the phone, it's important to point out that making any changes to the phone after it's in their possession, without permission, would be considered tampering with evidence.

It's obstruction either way.

Competent departments know to store the phone in a Faraday bag to prevent this, so it's not always an option in the first place.
Then why isn't Dick Cheney arrested? It's known in a vague sense, not in a more definitive sense like it's known in China. In China it's like we all know.

In the US things like Dark Money and bribery and lobbying and monopolies are all a sort of an ephermal fact rather than a fact of life like it is in China.

My argument is underneath all that the US and China are the same in terms of the volume of corruption.
What about UberEats?
>By your logic we all should have been protected from investing in this obvious scam of a company, right?

Based on my logic? I never said slack/uber/Lyft are scams, I even admit they may be good investments when they IPO...I even said profitability is not the full picture.

I never said the SEC was your nanny, I never said you couldn’t read an S-1...though based on your assertions I have to question you reading comprehension.

Maybe you could give me a comprehensive breakdown of how the market would be different if amazon did have to post profit before IPO, since you are so sure we would all be worse off...even non investors. Are investors, public markets and private markets really all better off? Is it possible amazon wouldn’t dominate and there be other companies competing in the space? Better jobs even more investment opportunites? I don’t think you could answer any of those questions with certainty.
I always try to bring this up in re: Uber/Lyft et. al.:

https://www.ianwelsh.net/the-market-fairy-will-not-solve-the...?

> Here is the thing about Uber and Lyft (and much of the “sharing economy”).

> They don’t pay the cost of their capital.

> The wages they pay to their drivers are less than the depreciation of the cars and the expense of keeping the drivers fed, housed, and healthy. They pay less than minimum wage in most markets, and, in most markets, that is not enough to pay the costs of a car plus a human.

> These business models are ways of draining capital from the economy and putting them into the hands of a few investors and executives. They prey on desperate people who need money now, even if the money is insufficient to pay their total costs. Drivers are draining their own reserves to get cash now, but, hey, they gotta eat and pay the bills.
You seem to trying to express a negative response to the fact that these companies create design frameworks. I'm interested as to why you feel this way?
This story is terrifying

"The China National Highway 110 traffic jam was a recurring massive traffic jam that began to form on August 13, 2010, mostly on China National Highway 110 (G110) and Beijing–Tibet expressway (G6), in Hebei and Inner Mongolia. The traffic jam slowed down thousands of vehicles for more than 100 kilometres (60 mi) and lasted for two weeks. Many drivers were able to move their vehicles only 1 km (0.6 mi) per day, and some drivers reported being stuck in the traffic jam for five days. It is considered to be one of the longest traffic jams by some media." [0]

It's an open debate among economists as to whether property taxes are progressive or regressive. Here's a nice article I found summarizing the debate: https://www.ntanet.org/NTJ/69/2/ntj-v69n02p413-434-local-pro...
Glad this didn't turn into a flame war. I like the idea of sharing everything in theory but I don't yet see how to make a living without putting a price tag on something.

Working as a contractor writing closed source software and allowing my clients to mostly own what I create allows me to work around 30 hours a week and spend time doing volunteer work. If there was a path to do that with Free Software I might go for it.

People have a lot better info than total profitability to answer "can this make money" or not. Financial statements (like this S-1) do their best to separate out how much is being spent to keep customers from how much is spent to acquire them. In lots of cases (including this one) the company has proved that they have a profitable relationship with existing customers, and that they have tolerable-and-dropping costs in acquiring new customers (in this case it looks like they are breaking even on new customers in around 9 months).

There are exceptions and sleight of hand (like when Uber doesn't reveal costs to get drivers, but this is 100% true for formerly-profitable companies too. You could make a much better argument for skipping on those, or by forcing more disclosure in S-1s. But painting broadly based on total profitability is just too simplistic.

Hi @sigi45, GitLam PM here. Thanks, I'm glad you like GitLab and have noticed the improvements we've been working on for Auto DevOps. I'm sorry things didn't work out of the box for you, we've worked to cover many use cases but we recognize we don't yet cover them all. If the particular stage in question is not supported you have a couple of options: 1) you can disable the particular job in question with the use of environment variables (see https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#environment-va...) or you can use composable Auto DevOps to only pull in the parts that are relevant to your project and use a customized CI script that fits your application better. More info on composable Auto DevOps here https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#using-componen.... Is your project public by chance? Would like to take a look and make sure we do what we can to support it. Thanks.
Sorry, I misled you a bit there. I didn't actually use that flag when I did it, as I already had the packages installed.
They use a byte for collision counting, and a byte is enough to reliably detect and punish DOS attackers on 32bit tables (max 4G keys). On 64bit tables I didn't do the math yet.
But you’re still creating a suite of components that can be composed to create a specific instance of a date picker. Except with the override config, you’re now complicating and limiting the simple and versatile concept of composition.

Your components now need to follow some pre established and short sighted rules in order to understand how to manage their own children.

To use the example in the article, lets say you have an Option component, but now you want a version of that component that takes two additional components under certain conditions. E.g, an icon, and a checkbox? But only when one specific Option has a specific combination of props?

How does this override system handle that? It doesn’t. Composition handles that. But if components are created with this override system in mind, they lose the ability to be composed in more complex ways than the designer of the override system imagined.
hmmmm, so do I and still my emails are unsolicited.
As an individual, I had three sets of unanswered questions while visiting the site.

1) Can I use my insurance for part of this? Even if it isn't directly covered, would it count towards the max out of pocket? Can I use an FSA/HSA?

2) On the /learn page it isn't clear what happens after 4 weeks. Do I keep access to sleep tracking? Of less interest to me, what about the marketplace or sleep course? What is the cost to stay subscribed? The sign up flow explains the monthly subscription for physical goods, but I didn't click into that page before I decided to leave a comment and went back to double check the /learn page's contents.

3) Other than the sleep coach, what are the concierge features? Does the content pack include articles, videos, podcasts, "homework", or other things? Is the apnea screening a qualitative questionnaire or does it use data from the sleep tracking? Are the personalized tools software, psychological tactics, physical sleep aids, or something else?

It certainly looks like an interesting product, but it's priced too high for me to buy before understanding it better.

I do freelance embedded systems development. I do fixed bid work because I prefer it that way.

If I bid $2,000 to produce something, I either produce it for $2,000 or I say (hopefully within the first day) "sorry, I underbid this. I need to re-quote you, or you can have your down payment back." I've "eaten" quite a few underbids and only once returned a down payment and ended the job because the buyer kept increasing the scope.

OP's not "abusing a fixed price worker," he's holding them to what they agreed to do.
> A single night of 4 hours sleep, followed by a year of normal nights sleep will lead to a me that is indistinguishable from the me that slept 8 hours that same night. [...] I'm all for sleeping properly, but lets not suggest that it is the end of the world any time someone doesn't get their standard n hours

I think of it kind of like burning yourself on a flame. Yes, a second degree burn will heal, and in a year you won't notice it, but if you do it over and over, or really burn yourself, you'll scar or kill nerves and never fully recover.

You do actual damage to your brain when you don't sleep enough, and it will effect your memory and cognition permanently if you do it too much.
It depends on the JS and the WASM framework... Blazor in particular carries a lot of framework overhead with it. Also, like mentioned elsewhere in the article, something similar to JSX for one of these WASM frameworks would be very useful. As would a close to in the box UI toolkit that at least used or resembled material design or bootstrap.
I get that. When people say “they lost their house”, they still know where it is, it’s just not theirs anymore.

When your bank is forcibly taken over by the government and the assets forcibly sold to someone else with nothing going to the owners of the bank, most would say the bank was shutdown.

In 2008, since TARP recipients didn’t wipe out their shareholders and sell shares to new owners (perhaps .gov), I would say they had plenty of time left before needing a bailout.

The gov should have created an express bankruptcy protection process instead of bailing out shareholders and boards that took too much risk.
I'm hopeful but I've seen what seem like legitimate questions as far as how much bandwidth Starlink could actually provide a given customer once they ramp up customers. As far as I know there is no real guarantee or anything from Starlink (understandable) but I'm a bit concerned about that.
A lot of the problems came about when sites began mandating "Real Names". People began to assume that online is somehow analogous to real life (it isn't). Combined with the nonsense claim that "hateful/rude/unpleasant speech and violence are the same", we're hurtling down a dangerous path.
if there is a demand I'd expect something to come up

Note that Uber/Lyft do something the taxi companies can not. They scale to meet demand. If 1000 drivers are needed between 6pm and 8pm then they'll likely get 1000 drivers. Taxi companies can't do this as they'd lose money on drivers and cars when all of them are not in use.

There ya go History Channel, finally finding a somewhat decent line between their history documentaries and Ancient Aliens.
I consider Microsoft more trustworthy than the other big tech companies because they behave in a more trustworthy fashion by (generally) being forthright about what they do and what their intentions are.

That said, I avoid Microsoft products because I don't like what they do and what their intentions are.

The difference between my attitude toward Microsoft and (for example) Facebook is that I make my decisions about Microsoft based on their products and services. I make my decisions about Facebook, etc., based on the fact that I don't trust them even a little.

This means that Microsoft has the advantage -- if they cared whether or not I am on board with them (and they have no reason to), they could change my mind very quickly by altering their products.

Facebook, etc., could not affect my attitude in the same way, as my main problem with them is that they are entirely untrustworthy.

Well, yes, except that physicists were pretty confident that they nailed electromagnetism, except the pesky thing that the speed of light was c - but relative to what? Naturally there should have been some medium (the "ether") but when they looked for it they weren't there: the famous Michelson–Morley experiment.

So people had already known that there was some glaring gap in our knowledge, and something had to fill in the gap.
A bookstore is not a basic. It is a nice to have, but not required. Maybe midwest culture values bookstores more than the New York culture? I wouldn't want to live there if that was the case, but that just shows my midwest cultural bias.
"Means and motive matter as much as ends. AIs don’t operate in isolation. Somebody designs them, somebody gathers the data to train them, somebody decides how to use the answers they give. Those human-scale decisions are –or should be– documented and understandable, especially for AIs operating in larger domains for higher stakes. It’s natural to want to ask a programmer how you can trust an AI. More revealing is to ask why they do."

> A non-clickbait title would be: "Pollution suspected of causing rare cancers in Waycross, GA"

That's arguably worse than clickbait. It actually discourages people from reading the article who might find it interesting.

It suffers from being both too specific and too general at the same time.

It's too specific because Waycross, GA, is a town of under 14k people and as far as I can see there is no reason to expect that many people outside of Georgia to have ever heard of it. Naming it in the headline suggests that the story is aimed at those people who do recognize it.

It's too general because of course it is pollution. The other things that cause cancer don't tend to cause cancer spikes in small areas.

Both the town and the cause are actually incidental to this story. The interesting aspects of the story are how the various parties reacted when some started noticing there might be a cancer cluster.
>Proof?

It’s your assertion show me proof IPOs are for “unprofitable companies”.
If a company is profitable, but there is a benefit to spending more money to grow faster, why wouldn't that company spend that profit to grow? If you believe growing the business is a good use of investor money, then wouldn't you also believe it is a good use of your profit?
