>So why not an iPhone?

"Jailbreaking" on Android is as easy as flipping a toggle in the security settings. It allows for easy sideloading in general, and the use of alternative app sources in particular. IOS's developer sideloading capabilities have so many restrictions and limitations that it barely counts as sideloading.

Apple HATES the GPLv3, and specifically designed their app store agreement to forbid GPLv3 software. Good luck finding anything GPLv3 that's not dual-licensed on their app store. This effectively bans any GPLv3 software that's not exclusively developed by a single company (or is a community project that mandates copyright reassignment) from the app store. (Fun fact: Apple's hatred of the GPLv3 is the same reason that they ship MacOS with a 12-year-old version of Bash, v3.2, the last version under GPLv2.) I won't support a company so hostile to the very concept of free software. Google is the embodiment of the phrase "privacy nightmare", but even they obey the spirit of the GPL and other free software/open source licenses in their projects.

No iPhone has ever had a microSD slot. I'm not going to spend a multi-hundred-dollar premium for the equivalent storage space of a $20 microSD card.

I prefer Linux at home. Historically iPhones have required iTunes for basic functionality such as copying music to the phone, and therefore required Windows or MacOS. It's not as painful nowadays to use an iPhone without iTunes day-to-day, but it's still nowhere near as simple as Android, and certain operations still require iTunes.

Mobile Firefox on Android supports regular desktop Firefox extensions. I wouldn't be able to install Ublock Origin, Decentraleyes, UMatrix, or any other extension on Firefox on IOS, because Apple mandates that all third-party browsers on IOS can only be wrappers around mobile Safari. I can easily install standard extensions on Firefox for Android, because it's really Firefox under the hood.

I greatly hope for the success of the Librem 5. I would drop Android in a heartbeat for a genuinely Google-free phone with all the traditional openness (sideloading, adding cheap storage, easy wired file transfers without Windows/OSX, etc) of Android. GApps-less LineageOS is better than standard Google-laden Android but it's still not ideal. All I'm waiting for before ordering a Librem 5 is final confirmation that the supported frequencies match my carrier.
Except most of the pension bombs are in the state and local governments, which rely primarily on regressive taxation (sales taxes, property taxes, fees, etc.).
By calling my reasoning "daft", and by implying interventionism, many would assume a text book ad hominem. But I'm ok with a jab - if we all get overly sensitive, and remove emotions from discourse, we're just denying our humanity.

As for your counter points on my #2, #3, I've made it clear that it's "likely" for people to censor along the lines of their politics/options. I don't believe that to be unreasonable, especially when the censors aren't subject to any laws/regulations.

And if there's ANY doubt in actual leftist bent inside Twitter, the company, here [1] is their CEO admitting to conservative employees being terrified to speak their mind.

Do my push-wall exercise in front of a mirror, and look at your back. I bet you it's arched.

Obviously, don't do something that's painful. But it's important to recognize the difference between "painful" and "uncomfortable." One is a sign you are doing something detrimental to your body; the other is a sign you are doing something you are unfamiliar with. If a low to moderate arch is what works for you, that's fine. I bench with a low to moderate arch, and yes, my bench is also considerably weaker than my other lifts.
Your comment motivated me to check my Gmail spam folder and 10% (3 out of 30) were false positives, two of which were pretty important. :(
I'd disagree entirely with this sentiment.

I'd say at one point there was a fairly good weighting between "letter of the law" vs "intent of the law". Where the intent of the law mattered and was considered in cases.

I haven't seen much good faith consideration of intent of the law in a long time. More and more I find we're just following the letter of the law as closely as possible - reverting to precedent when it exists.

Given this tendency... Law is EXACTLY like an algorithm that works and operates like code. It is riddled with clever tricks and often explicitly allows precisely following the letter of the law while shitting all over its original intent.

$940 million in Contribution Profit in 2018 and that does not net out new markets and non-pool rides.

So, to re-affirm more emphatically, Uber prints money on non-pool rides in mature markets.
thanks will look at those
When you're young enough to be pulling all nighters falling down the stairs is a minor inconvenience. When you're middle aged it's a serious health emergency.
It's best to leverage type inference if possible. I can point to entire TypeScript files that could be copied and pasted into a JavaScript file and work with no changes.

At some point, yes, you have to use annotations to get the most of it. But, ultimately, I'd much rather trade the additional characters now for the alternative: insanity producing runtime errors in production later.

It looks pretty nice. My pet peeve with "modern" web design is that it has become, objectively, very effeminate. Uber tends to leans more neutral to slightly masculine.
My favorite part about Base Web is that it's broken.

It boggles the imagination that anybody is still clinging to Python 2 at this point in the game. I guess they have their reasons, but man, oh man... from an outsider perspective, this feels very questionable.
I'm still not 100% this document is really real and not just an elaborate troll, but I think that may be my mind the idea that this remarkable piece of surrealist art was passed off as a serious business document.

This article makes a lot of noise about Uber's commitment to accessibility. So I am led to believe that this new React gizmo is fully accessible.

Yet Uber can't be bothered to make efforts to get basic accessibility right on the page that tells us this.

The main content is not in a <main> element, this <main> element being the landmark that tells people using assistive technologies where the main content is.

Then the navigation links, e.g. in the footer are not in <nav> elements.

The code sample in the middle is an image. It should be in a <figure>, <pre>formatted and in a <code> block for accessibility.

It is a bit hypocritical to write an article about how wonderful your product is for accessibility and not make it accessible.

Being able to make an otherwise silent team talk and joke is a very useful skill.

Yes you ship with the best of them, but you are also the glue making the individuals a team. That's something to be proud of.
For US businesses, US labor laws should be the minimum standard for hiring workers overseas.

The biggest companies will just form overseas business units and employ now "local" people in order to avoid these restrictions. Addressing this sort abuse while keeping the flow of capital reasonably free is a bit more of a challenge.
I think this warrants a closer look. We do work in a profession that has a cognitive load that is wildly disproportionate to our physiological load. I suspect that some of us need heavy physical activity during the day in order to sleep well.

Anecdotally, when I worked construction I had zero issues going to bed at 9pm and getting to work at 7 every day. But now that I sit at a desk for 9-12 hours a day, I'm rarely able to fall asleep by midnight and getting to work reliably by 8AM is impossible. Ironically, I have no issues sleeping "early" on the weekends when I spend the days out-and-about and doing house work.

Actually, 100% of taxpayers are eligible for free electronic filing. 70% are eligible for free filing software that calculates everything for you. The other 30% just get fillable forms.

It's not clear to me how this "field" of study is any different from existing academic analyses of automation or computing. AI doesn't change what computers do; it affects only how it's done. The problems inherent in automation are as old as windmills, falling water, and certainly electricity.

Sure, a few modern fields are affected more than others, but improving voice recognition or visual object identification component by 20% doesn't fundamentally change the system using such code to a degree that it warrants a new academic discipline of study.

A new legal field of study on automation makes more sense to me. Algorithmic bias, product or service liability, baseline accountability, the standards of due diligence and safety -- these are rising concerns exacerbated by the recent increase in automation, AI-based or not. But these problems are hardly unique to AI any more than the misdirection of elections was unique to manipulation of digital social media.

I'm also doubtful that meaningful solutions to byproducts of automation by corporations and nations can be meaningfully addressed by a bunch of academic computer scientists.

But your body doesn't absorb the alcohol instantly. Those test results make no sense from a medical standpoint. There should be a lag between drinking and the performance hit.
That's only if maintenance costs are the same (I'm assuming they won't be). I assume there will be much higher vandalism costs and some other costs that are new to owning a car.
Postmark requires a minimum of 50K emails a month for a dedicated IP address, and they state that minimum is for quality reasons. You won't get a good enough reputation on your IP without it.

That should give people an estimate of the required volume to get decent delivirability rates to big providers.

> I just don't see why you would give out a discount without ensuring the use of the property is doing something that provides a public benefit.

Public benefit and the profit margin are inversely correlated. The idea that you can encourage any benefit without having public competition is laughable. There is no market effect that can encourage people to care about the public benefit over profits. The key is to remove the landlord from the equation entirely and de-commodify real estate, especially residential real estate.
Tether's payment processor has seemingly swiped the funds.

A similar thing happened to Full Tilt Poker. Its payment processer stole its funds and the business collapsed.
It didn't take me months to figure it out (not OP), you might get some insights quickly. Get one of the fitness trackers(Fitbit/MiBand/apple watch) and wear the watch for a week, then take a note of the things you're doing in the evenings and see how if affects your baseline from the previous week. For me, exercise was a clear winner on the first day - I spend less time awake in bed, sleep longer and higher quality _every_ day I exercise. Others, like working late, or playing video games late took longer to figure out.
IE11 was well after the "web is better with our proprietary extensions" days. It even tried to disable add-ons and extensions entirely by default until (enterprise) backward compat anger forced their hand.

For IE11 (and 10 and Edge in either direction around it), Microsoft was firmly stuck in a "WebKit/Blink treadmill" where they had to run twice as fast to try to keep up and almost succeeded (until they gave up recently, RIP EdgeHTML).

Most of rest of these complaints sound like your customers should stop hitting themselves in the face.
AWS lock-in is different from a taxi app.
Only a few players so far managed to respond to AWS in scale and offerings.

Lots of taxi companies have their own apps at this point.
> In the context of sensory hypersensitivities, resources such as ear defenders or tinted glasses may also be useful to reduce the impact of the sensory stimulation the individual finds distressing. When facilitating desensitisation, it may be possible to gradually withdraw such resources as the individual builds tolerance to the relevant sensory stimuli. More generally, gradual exposure to sensory stimuli is important when facilitating desensitisation.

As an adult on the spectrum, I actually find myself reaching for ear plugs and tinted glasses increasingly often as I get older, even though I should have been "desensitized" by all measures. Sure, I know can spend a ton of energy trying to pretend like I'm not bothered by a noisy environment - but it's just not worth it any more. I don't really care if I look goofy, I'd rather have my mental well-being preserved later on.

I feel like we're taught that that our options are to just deal with and be very uncomfortable at every restaurant, movie, or otherwise loud public space, or avoid those settings altogether rather than make other people feel slight unease from seeing a person in public with earplugs or tinted glasses. I realize now it's not really a big deal to wear those things in public, and it's much easier for the people around me to get over a slightly silly-looking accessory than it is for me to "get over" sensory overstimulation.
No. Almost.

You must buy the whole Package with react and others. You don't code normal UI on Swift and still be part of the react world.

Think is like build a JSON API. My idea is that. This mean that on the client, is full native (with some minimal coupling to the how transfer data).

I can see this going in two ways: either we'll have WASM "shared libraries" that can be cached, or every website will go the way of apps and contain duplicate WASM modules in it.
Cannot reproduce.
Definitely agree, I just do it temporarily, typically when working on huge features.
I'm not sure how that could happen. No matter how much money you have, this stuff takes time. There should be multiple independent companies providing satellite internet at low-cost with thousands of satellites each within 2-3 years (SpaceX Starlink, OneWeb, BlueOrigin's, etc).

I'm not sure how China could physically accomplish such a task - to prevent those companies from finding a market, despite being so far behind themselves?
React is not a framework. It's just a view library.
I'm struck by how often I see these types of comments these days, both on this site and others. "Not a fan of facebook, but..." or "I hate facebook, but..." It reminds me of the shift in discourse around Hillary Clinton in the run-up to the 2016 election. I'd talk to reasonable people who'd say, "Well, Clinton is certainly evil, but she's the lesser or two evils" or "I hate Hillary, but Trump isn't qualified." It was basically a case of an entire population trying to process the cognitive dissonance created by a massive disinformation campaign. Every time I see a negative article posted about fb (and it's pretty much daily now), I see in the comments some variation of this same struggle to reconcile our (probably neutral) feelings about fb against this rolling tide of propaganda. It's disheartening how quickly we've accelerated to this dystopia of mass-manipulation of public opinion through social media.

Hey, at least they're _trying_ to migrate to 3 :P
Gmail can be pretty aggressive with spam filtering, but I'm very happy with the bias toward flagging things as spam. Spam was such an infuriating problem, and lots of marketers would happily push the line if they didn't live in terror of being blacklisted by Google. If only Google could the legacy telephone networks like they run Gmail.
Remember that academia has a longer history as an accreditation vehicle for any concept you can come up with as long as you write convincingly enough, than as a platform of science since academia predates science by centuries if not millenias.

I think this tradition of authoritarian bullshit has some traction in the modern world still. Which in part causes all the silly pompous pseudoscientific bullshit.
One of the primary arguments in favour of cryptocurrency is avoiding the fragility of fractional reserve banking. Building a cryptocurrency with a fractional reserve is basically building an unlicensed and uninsured bank. That's not a particularly attractive prospect for depositors, so naturally Tether were incredibly dishonest about it.
>Gmail’s spam filtering is just a pretext for passing all email through a machine learning system

It can't be just that. Spam filtering makes email in general much more usable, and Google of course wants Gmail to be an attractive product.
It’s AI above all else. It seems instead of a rule that says all emails from these people are ok, they’re too reliant on ai filtering based on the content. They’re probably trying to prevent spoofing.

I use gmail and they know who is sending. I got an email today with a gmail flag saying “this user sent from a different email address previously”
I can't imagine there's that much data to sell. I don't think a lot of people use uber on a daily basis, the takeaways are gonna be "people travel to and from airports close to them".
option 4 is closer to the full scope of the company. uber has positioned to be more than simply a taxi company and a strong logistics competitor
Comparing to ska::flat_hash_map or khash wouldn't be fair, because the F14 hash tables use SIMD intrinsics to lookup 14 buckets at once (and thus the name) whilst the former two don't have that advantage. A fairer comparison would be against Swiss tables[1] from Google's abseil library, which uses the same trick. Also, std::unordered_map is slow because its interface requires a chaining based collision resolution strategy.

You can also see this very easily in the UK.

One city in the entire country has essentially all its transport infrastructure owned by the government (some of it is operated by private companies under license). In every other city they're a mess of private companies.

Result: In that one city (it's London) the transport infrastructure works as an integrated whole and everywhere else it's just a bunch of assemble-it-yourself components.

Private bus companies actually operate the buses in every city, but in London those companies have to work for the government, their contract says all the buses must look alike (they're painted red, if you've visited or thought of visiting London you can probably visualise one) and work alike (taking contactless cards) and so on, they're all part of a single system. In London you don't care which private company operates the bus you got on and pays the driver, it says "35" on the front, it's a 35 bus, sorted. In my city they're just three (or maybe four?) different private companies, different livery, their timetables aren't co-ordinated, they have different overlapping number schemes, and different fare schemes - if I have my City card but I'm on a Blue bus that's no good, I'll have to pay by credit card.

Why? Because as in the US one of our political parties dogmatically believes that privatisation is better, and confronted with the fact that it doesn't work their answer is more privatisation. Nationally many people keep voting for them anyway. In London not so much.
The patent may last for 20 years, but that might also be the time required to develop driverless cars and get them approved.
Public or private ownership has no relevance to profitability. If a VC can invest in a “losing” company, how is that any different than allowing public markets to do the same? The loss is priced into the stock and with a “losing” stock there is opportunity for upside just as much as a “winning” stock — the public ought to be allowed to be allowed to have a piece of that opportunity just as readily as private markets.

Flagging as spam is different. The OP is talking about rejecting it before it even gets to your inbox.

If gmail is improperly flagging a message I get as spam, I can create a filter to never send it to spam. If they're rejecting it like the OP talks about, if I want to stay with gmail I have no way to get that email.
Let's not forget board and large shareholders that shape direction for executives and the board.
The same way we feed the variable size sequence of characters or sound samples into this RNN. Instead of raw samples at the 16 kHz rate, we'll have one sequence of 1 sample per second, another sequence of 1 sample per 0.5 seconds and so on. We can go as far as 1 sample per 1/48000 sec, but I don't think it's practical (but this is what these music generators do).
It's probably because I'm using uMatrix and it's blocking something "critical" that breaks when you try to visit the Welcome page.
I think the new MS realigned with some of the old MS' ideas: the Surface line is meant to lead OEM hardware manufacturers, not to be the sole OEM hardware manufacturer. I don't see the new MS releasing a new phone/phone OS branch without phone hardware manufacturers begging for it. That doesn't seem likely without pressure from phone carriers, and they seem very happy with the Android and Google duopoly as it is easy for them to sell and/or profit from.
I think you may be equating "good enough at programming to get hired by Google" with "generally intelligent". My point is that these are entirely different things.
> The government should be more actively monitoring these industrial activities and protecting its citizens from their negligence.
