Shades of the movie Jupiter Ascending. I wonder if the woman is related to Jupiter Jones. In seriousness, someone should have made an inventory of the products in her car and on it, because if that's something that's going to happen again it could put even more strain on a a fragile bee ecosystem. It could also lead to more effective bee repellents, and/or tools for beekeepers.
I also noticed that, came here to comment precisely the same thing.

I think the problem might also be exacerbated by the fact that the padding doesn't seem to be scaled based on DPI. (Unlike line height/icon size) So it looks acceptable on a low resolution display, but super close to the edges on a "Retina" display.
Same in France. The owner has to relinquish all its means to access the appartement to the tenant.
Being able to subscribe to a high end gaming machine that always has the latest hardware and streams local is one option. Imagine always being able to play games in max resolution and settings with no hiccups?

Or maybe virtualizing presences more often. We could manufacture displays the size of walls right now - and presumably someday OLED that size will be affordable.

Who knows what sort of real time innovations could be made. Ie tracking objects at a small scale for large patches of land. Weather, wild life, idk. Remote controlled drone surveillance for wild fires.

Think about using containers if any of the below apply:

- You have heard or said the words "Hmm, it worked on my machine"

- You run or want to run multiple applications on the same host

- You care about software supply chain

- You think serverless patterns may apply to your workloads

- Scheduling applications on to your infrastructure is manual

Uber has around 25 offices in the UK alone. Most are required for local regulation afaik. If this is scaled across the US and Europe that could easily run into hundreds of offices, inflating their employee count for relatively minor employees.

For me it’s really difficult to comprehend what you describe. I think it’s super interesting though. Is there any way you could tell the story for a layman?
Uber has a huge community operations team that's in charge of making sure that its drivers stay productive and at least semi-at-peace with the way the system works (and evolves!) There's a lot more human-to-human work needed in this business than for a social-media site, or an automated online-ad service.

That's where a lot of the 22,000 employees are, and if Uber could thrive without them, it surely would have already done so. Among the tasks I see listed in a current Uber job ad:

--Walk driver-partners through the onboarding process and all of the tools they need to be successful on the Uber platform

-- Help existing driver-partners troubleshoot any issues they experience (i.e. a delayed payment)

-- Help brand the Uber name and get driver-partners excited to be on the road

-- Assist with events and promotions as needed (occasionally off-site, during off-hours or weekends)
You'd still be relying on Apple for your UI. Which isn't bad but could be limiting. Better to go with a Raspberry Pi and home assistant, and add home kit as an option. Hell also add alexa and google while you are at it. You wouldn't be tied to anything.
You could also consider it "harder to remember".
As father to three children, my experience is that you only think two is exponentially more complex than one. At least with two, they don't always outnumber you!
(defmacro ic (expr)
`(prog2
(format t "~&ic| ~A: " ',expr)
(prin1 ,expr)
(terpri)))

This is a lisp macro that (1) ensures the debug statement is printed on a newline, (2) prints the expression that got evaluated in its originally read form, (3) prints the value readably, (4) prints a newline, (5) return EXPR. Conforms to ANSI Common Lisp. Works on all implementations. No cute logo or testing required.

If you want to inspect execution, interrupt it, resume it, look at the call stack, look at local variables, then you can use Lisp’s function called break. No external tool required. No installing a dependency or debugger. Works on all implementations.

(break "stop right there!")
Can you give a vague hint as to your niche to give us an idea of the kind of services you render? iOS? HFT? Mobile games? Marketing? US taxes? GDPR compliance?

Being that rebase is under "porcelain", would you agree the UI ought to be improved?

A better title would be "The Propaganda of Convenience":

Consider the concept of tying in commerce:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tying_(commerce)

For example you can buy a specific cell phone (the tying good) on the condition of also buying a contract with a certain telecom operator.

If freedom is a virtue, then considering just the 2 products of this specific cell phone and this specific operator contract there should be 2 binary degrees of freedom, resulting in 4 options:

1. buy nothing

2. buy cellphone but no contract

3. buy contract, but no cell phone

4. buying both.

Then the act of only offering the following choices:

1. buy nothing

2. buy both

would be nothing more than false dilemma foisted off as "convenience", literally "coming together".

It's nothing but connotation games.

It's going to be a wild ride. While (*most) people seem to like using Uber, headlines about how the unit economics don't work, how drivers can't make a living, how their working conditions aren't tenable keep popping up. How does Uber intend to address this?

In addition, I have questions about the service's ability to grow significant multipliers. It really feels like they've reached the majority of their markets three years ago, and have been tweaking things since. Why would you invest in this? Is there a clear value proposition for future growth?
It's weird to see all these crutches and half-assed fixes instead of lobbying and other work done to fix the ID situation in the US. It's really unfathomable to me how big of a problem identity theft and unauthorized access to digital systems for a regular citizen is. Especially compared to what for example Estonia has built, where I really do not have to worry about that issue - I have to have my ID card (or my mobile-ID) or I don't have access. Basically mandatory 2FA everywhere important, since about 2002, in my humble opinion it should be about time the US properly fixed the issue.

None of these allegations have been proven in court. If the investigator in charge is so certain that the individuals conducting these transactions are members of organized crime groups, and the money came from criminal activity, why haven't any charges being laid against them?

With money laundering laws, the government doesn't have to prove any crime happened. It does an end run around due process.

The government focuses on a symptom (money laundering) of an underlying problem (organized crime generating hundreds of millions of dollars from criminal enterprises), enlists the media to make sensationalist claims about said symptom based on hearsay, and builds public consent for invasive new surveillance laws that criminalize financial privacy and seize private property without the government having to prove any crime happened (civil forfeiture).

Meanwhile, the underlying problem that the government professed to be concerned about is allowed to fester.

I feel ya. I have 5 kids. I love them all, but there is only so much time in a day. I believe the key to make the effort to have one-on-one time, be there when they really need you, and support their growth/development with active planning. I also believe strongly in the term 'benign neglect'. It's not my job to keep them entertained every waking minute. They need to explore, be bored, use their imaginations, read books, etc. We have nightly scripture study, weekly in-house movie night with pizza and/or popcorn, a monthly go-out-to-eat dinner (with lessons in manners constantly reiterated) , and an annual trip to the beach. Life is good!
Dilution is a red herring. It doesn't change the value of your shares (theoretically). What will matter is how the company spends the funds that it raises, and whether it does so in a way that generates a positive or negative return on investment.

Autonomous cars and owning their fleet or leasing from large fleet companies is probably the end goal for increasing the share. I don't see this going any other way.

HASS won't get you around this shutdown, but it is a great solution to avoid these kinds of things. local server, local communication is a requirement for all the devices I put in my smart home. HASS does not tie you down to any manufacturer, just make sure the devices you add have local control.
Yep. Specifically, git will never delete a commit, unless it is old (like 30 days old or older I think?) and is not part of a branch. I suppose there may be some arcane commands to force a deletion, but it wont happen by accident or by normal usage.

Like you, I felt much more comfortable using git after learning this.

What if the company raised rates on rides?
I disagree. I think UWP has done a really good job technically behind the scenes, but poorly explained publicly of showing how one device's display and input device constraints are another device's accessibility/ease of use guidelines. That the basic "common denominator" made things easier/better to use in general for everyone, even if users/devices were capable of fewer constraints and more guideline breaking.

In addition, UWP and Fluent Design System had a hard time coming back from "these are the constraints in all situations" to "here's how you flex when these are the constraints of the current system versus when they are merely guidelines that you can break if your user accepts it". That became a focus in Fluent Design System 2.0, but it certainly does feel like it may have been too late avoid the "worst common denominator" branding that Fluent and UWP got painted with early on.

UWP/Fluent did a lot of things right technically that Apple should apply to efforts like Marzipan, they just might not realize it based on the tarnished brand.
I would say the TV example isn't really a great example from the perspective of utility.

In the dead of winter, it's still pitch black out when I take my dogs out first thing in the AM. The temperature can fluctuate quite a lot where I live, so I usually have two different winter coats. My winter "good morning" routine turns on my main floor lights and announces the outside temperature so I know whether or not to wear my heaviest coat.

While it sounds like a small benefit, I find it very useful considering how groggy I am at that time.
Incremental improvements to an infrastructure or rather the software ecosystem of a company isn't something many people talk about, indeed. Shiny new tools are interesting and flashy to look at.

For example, I'm very happy with the development of the company I work for over the last 2 or 3 years. I've pushed them from old unmanaged systems to mutable systems managed through chef. There's still some really ugly things, it's mutable, it's not shiny, it's VMs running tomcat running java 8. I like to call it really 2000s and/or vintage. It took time to migrate all systems, to gain trust of stake holders, to educate and convince the ops team. And I guess in some cases, we're running a really ugly mess of a system, but it's a reproducible mess.

But this was a massive improvement and value gain for the company. Suddenly we have an ops team with a lot of leverage and competence to manage an ever growing SaaS setup. And overall, the mindset of most people involved has changed over time towards standards, automation and the value of this. Automation has improved the cost efficiency of some default projects dramatically. We're still old school overall, but we're generating value.

And now the wheel of time has turned some. We've been bought, now there's 8 more development teams, now there's new products being brought in. At this point we're picking up containers at a larger scale because we have to move faster than the config management can handle with the current manpower. So now we're handling some stuff we can using the config management, some stuff with containers.

Overall, moving slow and deliberately in an infrastructure is a very valuable skill. Solve the important problems. Sometimes a trusty, ugly, old java application server isn't your important problem.
Thank you for sharing this link. Until now, I never understood properly how rebase and fast-forward merges work. This simple note in this document made it all clear.

"Beginners to this workflow should always remember that a Git branch is
not a container of commits, but rather a lightweight moving pointer that
points to a commit in the commit history.

A---B---C
↑
(master)

When a new commit is made in a branch, its branch pointer simply moves
to point to the last commit in the branch.

A---B---C---D
↑
(master)

A branch is merely a pointer to the tip of a series of commits. With
this little thing in mind, seemingly complex operations like rebase and
fast-forward merges become easy to understand and use."

Suddenly everything makes sense now!
Because it's modular.

If KDE was a monolitic project with insufficient tests, those details wouldn't improve. Instead, I'd bet developers would be fast at removing current functionality when unavoidable changes add hard to track bugs.
They would either need funded or the founders would have to bring in a lot of cash.

Driver acquisition isn't cheap.

Then there's the question of which city you start in. The mega corp could probably just cut prices in that city until you give up.
Short interest is really an irrelevant number. That number could be largely skewed by derivatives, corporate actions, etc. Additionally, foreign brokers do not have to report short interest to the SEC.

In regards to borrow rates, there are some sources that are fairly accurate, but usually only to prime brokers themselves. There is no public exchange.

Interactive Brokers is the only retail broker that I know of that is fairly transparent and fair in terms of borrow rates.
Not to get too ideological, but the ideal of journalism as a public service is just fundamentally misaligned with the incentives of the market. We keep bemoaning (rightfully so, IMO) the downward pressure on journalists' wages, the distorting effects of ad revenue, and the crushing power of centralization. If a for-profit model is incapable of delivering this critical piece of democratic infrastructure, what alteratives exist?

I can think of two other models: philanthropically-backed and state-sponsored. Both have readily apparent issues guaranteeing trust in their independence from their source of funding.

We can certainly tinker around with any of these models, but I've been kicking an idea for alternative model. I've been searching in vain for an example of this, but it'd be a variant on a worker-owned cooperative. Let's imagine something called a "stakeholder-owned media cooperative" with three tiers of engagement:

1) Producer-owners (journalists, editors, etc)
2) Subscribers-owners (readers who pay dues in exchange for editorial input)
3) Readers

Just to spitball some numbers: at $20/mo in dues, 300 subscriber-owners could support one producer-owner at $72,000. The incentive to join as a dues-paying member would be a voting stake in the editorial direction of the outlet. You could play with the variables to balance power in a way that is appealing to both parties: perhaps producer-owners get veto power, or can limit the set of options for editorial direction, or perhaps weight the votes.

The primary goals would be twofold: 1) more closely align editorial incentives of news producers and owners 2) produce a positive externality: news that can also be consumed by passive readers, who could apply to become subscriber-owners if they cared about the editorial direction.

As far as I know, nothing like this exists, but it'd be really interesting to have a kickstart-like platform for jumpstarting this sort of organization: if a certain threshold of subscriber-owners signs on (with their credit card, perhaps paying a year's subscription up front to limit financial uncertainty) then the organization is free to begin building.

Anyhow, just one potential model. I'd be fascinated to find anyone who's tried something like this
Yeah, i've found GP's comment amusing because from my perspective KDE looks like it wastes too much space on padding.
I hope this isn't the real reason, but every engineer at Google has access to free and practically limitless CPU time quota, while GPU quota requires dedicated machines and therefore budget. It might have just been easier to do it on CPUs.

Still 2500 CPU-hours is basically nothing. That's how much time a single machine with 2 sockets and 112 threads yields in a single day.
But then you'd be trusting software developers with cars. What if a botnet of cars activates and tries to mow down everybody around?
I have a wonderful video from a festival we were at a few years ago where the bees were in a ball under a table. A bee keeper arrived, put a cardboard box underneath and gave the table a thud. The queen fell into the box and the rest followed. They were standing on the box doing a funny little pointy thing of the direction to fly in. He said that it was the hive splitting by producing a second queen. Apparently they set up a temporary home for a couple of days while scouting for a good place to establish themselves. It was insane how much of a wax honeycomb nest they had already created.
> How can you say that Lyft is "stiffing" the drivers when they lose money on every ride?

That's Lyft's problem, not the drivers'. They could always find more money by charging higher fares and maintaining a fleet of identical cars for drivers to rent, but then they'd just be a taxi company, not a "tech platform." If they want to keep offering VC-subsidized rides, that's fine by me. And when they run out, they can decide whether they want to stiff their drivers even more, or raise their fares.

And yes, the American tipping system needs to die.
The us federal government via Congress can certainly pass laws that supersede state laws. That's the purpose of the 9th amendment and the commerce Clause in the us Constitution.
I actually think Go is a very good language. I don't measure languages on aesthetics, but team productivity and quality. Go has been unreasonably successful in making my team productive.

I tend not to care all that much about the language itself. What I care about is productivity and that I don't need to have a discussion about what language people would rather program in every 3-4 months. This is why I get suspicious when people say they are language enthusiasts. I leave it to the team to choose language, but it has to fit some minimum criteria and I don't want whining afterwards and I don't want a mishmash of languages "because it fit the domain better".
Actually, what I do is to just shop elsewhere, and buy from brands that I know either produce, assemble or do their QA checks outside of China.
Luckily, such brands still exist for most products.

Amazon was, before it got flooded by Chinese goods, quite useful.
But rarely can I not wait a few days for my product, if it is not available locally.

Case in point, when I did need something from Amazon per morning express, it did not arrive until one day later. I got a refund for the shipping, but I had to buy the thing elsewhere.

Amazon's use to me is declining more and more. I already did cancel my prime...
A bond paying 2% that matures in 10 years is worth less than a bond paying 4% that matures in 10 years. So you can buy back low interest long term bonds for cheaper.
