Theoretically, the answer to that (and most things) is "the market should already have priced that in". Since we all know Uber isn't profitable and is burning cash, that shouldn't lower the stock price in the future. Given that, the value of Uber is dependent on the belief that they can change that situation. If their burn rate is better in six months (even while staying unprofitable), the stock presumably rises. If it's worse or even the same, the stock presumably drops as people lose hope.

More practically, there were probably a bunch of people playing 'greater fool', and a modest contraction after the hype looks standard for big tech IPOs at the moment.

The list is surprisingly similar to the green box on the media bias charts: https://www.adfontesmedia.com if you remove the sources with a hard paywall like the WSJ.

The only outliers are CNN and FOX, which are probably included simply because they are large, and would tend to cover more of the stories this survey searched for.
It is similar, but not identical. A department store buys physical goods from a vendor, and then sells them to consumers. An App Store provides distribution and payment services to vendors and consumers.

For a department store, it is very clear that you are buying from the department store. They own the physical goods at the time of sale.

For an App Store, most people would agree that the Store does not own the digital goods they are selling to consumers.

So, while a superficially similar transaction occurs, both the nature of digital goods and the difference between goods and services makes for pretty vast differences under the surface.
That would be great, but you are asking for them to incriminate themselves.

In the case of my area we had neither before Uber. Perhaps other places are different.
Were I do most of my grocery shopping they send me the receipts to my email. I guess you could make a third party service to better visualize them. Any suggestions for other improvements or companies that already has great receipts?

I know there are services that can connect to your bank and categorize your purchases but it would be great to have a finer granularity. Perhaps you could just forward all receipt emails.

On the other hand it surely inspired a round of modernization in many local taxi industries that would not have happened without. But I'm with you, I think that the risk of a dump, destroy, disappear sequence outweighs those benefits.
Where I live, they sell everything in plastic bags. I buy everything I can in bulk, but still go through 2-5 bags each day. I wash them with small amounts of water and reuse as much as I can, it's still close to a thousand bags per year -- good luck keeping up with that.

Absolutely no recycling here, too. It all goes to the landfill, along with lithium batteries and laboratory chemicals. How about some fun examples of the stuff my friends have found on the landfill: a jar of mercury, a 1.5L of nitric acid, an ampule of bromine, some other stuff I fail to remember.

Ah, the joyful realities of living in the third world.
There's only one - PyPI used by pip, and you can run it on a basic web server.

There only other that I heard is anaconda, but that's made by 3rd party (not affiliated fir PSF), it is not just Python but also R since it targets scientific community. I also believe it is primarily used by windows users.
It is packaging for scientific tools that happen to also have python.

Edit: from another comment I see that underneath anaconda apparently uses PyPI for python packages (I didn't know, since I never used it) so it is not even a proper repo, just an abstraction to PyPI (and possibly whatever R is using)

>And if that’s true, then where’s the line between that and “each app you purchase is purchased from its own little stall in this digital mall, which is owned and operated by the software author”? Is there one?

To use your analogy, the line is if someone can set up their own shop outside the mall. As a consumer, if I have no way to avoid purchasing from a store inside a single mall then I'm effectively purchasing from the mall itself.

At least in my opinion. I'm not a lawyer.

Ya I actually bought an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070, specifically to play around with its ray tracing capabilities. I kind of wish I could play around with a Google TensorFlow processor (TPU):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_processing_unit

It's an ok chip and has some of the ideas that I mentioned (like an 8 bit design that could possibly emulate 64 bit and higher via microcode or software) but I'm afraid that it's too narrowly scoped to be of much use in other domains. Companies seem to be exploring branches of the parallel/DSP problem space rather than providing general solutions like the Xeon Phi.

I'm not totally sold on high multicore (say 64 or more cores), but it's the only way that I can see forward since Moore's law ended. It would be much better to have increased single-threaded performance since that can emulate multicore. Multicore can't emulate single-threaded above Amdahl's limit of about 4x, which is why very few chips today have more than 4 or 8 cores.

That said, most of the problems that I find interesting are also embarrassingly parallel. And since there is currently no consumer high-multicore processor, I can't explore those problem spaces. From first principles, it should have gone:

1) Single core: 6502, z80, 286
2) Low multicore: Pentium, POWER
3) High multicore (MIMD): Xeon Phi, Parallella
4) Optimized vector processing (SIMD): GPU, TPU

Without a viable #3, we have no way of knowing if #4 is an optimal solution or an evolutionary dead end. We have to drink the kool-aid and proceed out of trust. That's the part that I find extremely disappointing about the last 20-25 years.

Another way to say that is: if there is no market fit for ever-faster processors at cheaper prices.. that consumers would rather have low-cost mobile processors and regressively rent time on data centers.. that they'd rather have photorealistic rasterized video games than true supercomputing at home, then computer science is at the very least wounded (and I would argue, slowly dying).

This is a nuanced issue that the mainstream isn't even aware of. I'm excited to see some people trying to get projects like Parallella off the ground. From what I can tell, they are one of the only chips working from first principles:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adapteva

But as you pointed out, it may take more than enlightened engineering to bridge the gap to next-gen computing. That's the reason why we are only today seeing advances in machine learning that were fairly well understood by 2000. I just don't want to wait around another 20 years for the other good stuff to get here. Which is why I think it might take an open source design on inexpensive FPGA hardware to show people what they're missing.

Yes of course.

The question is always: does it impede a “normal” life and is anyone constantly suffering?

I thought my so called issues were perfectly manageable until I got my second child.

I described it in a different post as being stuck in development.

Remaining a child in many ways, and constantly fighting overwhelming emotions or, almost worse, non at all.

I decided I couldn’t keep doing what I was doing, and it’s been a struggle ever since.

Mostly I make it work, but my partner might have a word or two about these things:

Going to the grocery store with a long list of items, only to be overwhelmed by the astounding number of types of coffee.

Spending 45 minutes looking online for anything regarding beans and grounds. Fascinating stuff! Animals eating from the trees and pooing the beans out?! Wow.

You can probably see that if this is a repeating pattern someone’s bound to suffer.

And I agree that the right has political power. That’s because the population is split pretty evenly between right and left. I wasn’t talking about that, though, I was talking about media and cultural institutions. Popular and, especially, prestigious culture is dominated by the left in the US. For instance, a popular late night host in this country referred to the president’s mouth as “Putin’s cock holster” and still has a job. If someone had said that about Hilary Clinton, they would have been fired the next day.

A few things:

1) In browsers, the actual global (the Window) is _never_ exposed to script. The reasons for that used to do with same-origin policy enforcement, with exposure of the Window to script being considered a security bug in various browsers for a while, but I'm not sure those reasons are still relevant nowadays. At this point, the main reason the WindowProxy is what's exposed is that this is what web authors and web code expect. It's actually quite terrible, because it conflates two objects: "the web page" (corresponding to the non-exposed Window) and "the thing we load web pages in" (corresponding to the WindowProxy). _That_ is a design mistake in the web's object model that dates back to the mid-'90s...

In any case, the upshot is that in browser window contexts you can't get a reference to the global; the only thing you can get is the thing that is globalThis. In other contexts (web workers, Node), the two are the same thing.

2) The property naming is ... well, read https://github.com/tc39/proposal-global/blob/master/NAMING.m... for a (longish) summary. Node uses "global", but browsers couldn't do that because it broke some websites. Browsers use "self", but Node wasn't willing to do that, citing concern over the same sort of breakage. And so on, and so forth.

Sure cloud custodian extensible, its supports multiple cloud providers today (aws, gcp, azure) with work in progress on Kubernetes. The core plugin mechanism (registries) are used across every part, cloud providers, resources in those providers, and filters and actions for resources. As an example have a look at the Kubernetes provider https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian/tree/mast...

We've considered digital ocean support, and I use DO as well, but the primary use cases custodian serves around governance/compliance, security, cost optimization haven't seemed as needed with DO across our user population (ie hasn't been requested), so its not been as high a priority on the roadmap atm, that said its a community project so contributions welcome.

All that said, if your just looking for a periodic dump to a datastore, then perhaps cloud marker is going to be a better fit.

>It's been theorized that these companies are trying to reinstate an "official" narrative for people to follow.

You can theorize anything. Doesn't mean it's true. Tim Pool is not the best resource on this either. His default is to provide the most nefarious interpretation of facts on hand ... and in this case he doesn't have evidence for this 'theory'.

The problem is that if Google doesn't use major sources then they get accused of propagating 'Fake News' - because non-major news sources tend to be more sloppy and more overtly biased in their reporting. Do you want Breitbart or Infowars to be a news result for political news queries alongside NYTimes and Washington Post?
Now all Spotify needs to do is pay artists as much as Apple does. Perhaps an antitrust case might be launched by artists against Spotify?

The numbers cited here seemed high to me, so I checked them. Primary energy consumption in the US[1] ~1 * 10 ^ 20 Joules. Divided by population and number of seconds in a year[2] is about 10000 Joules per person-second, so about 10kW per person. A kilowatt of peak solar power requires about 8 square meters of panels[3]. Since the sun doesn't shine all the time and you don't get peak output all the time 750 square meters per person doesn't seem terribly unrealistic.

That being said, there is a lot of space where nobody lives in the US. There are some 28000 square meters per person in the US. Dedicating about 3% of that to solar panels doesn't seem impossible.

Some energy saving is also possible without changing the average lifestyle too much. Insulating homes helps quite a bit. Electric cars are more efficient that gas cars.

Not to mention their ethics
I wonder what our attitude towards landfills would be if they were described the same way that nuclear waste storage facilities are.

> no country can claim to have a comprehensive solution for dealing with its toxic waste.

> more than 60 years after getting into nuclear energy, [France] still has no definitive way to cope with it.

Sentences like these imply that there's dangerous waste just sitting sitting around while officials scratch their heads about what to do.

We do have comprehensive solutions. We build giant concrete wells and just put the waste there, problem solved.

This solution seems to be accepted as reasonable for garbage via landfills, but for nuclear waste its somehow treated as a workaround until we find some other magical way to get rid of it.
I've definitely heard the broader use, but I suspect it partly stems from the fuzziness of "owes". If my mortgage exceeds the value of my house, I'm definitely underwater. But if my pension fund owns a ton of CDOs on bad mortgages and can't make payments, it's sorta-kinda underwater too. Broaden things even more, and any institutional investor promising returns can be 'underwater' on a bad investment.
Uber is by no means dumping services below the cost to provide them. Boston's UberX is $0.36/minute + $0.88/mile (plus fees and flag-drop costs). That's well in excess of the marginal cost of providing the transportation.

> the court record of abuse of office cases is of charges not reaching the court to begin with or being dropped

For corruption, charges tend to come up. For more ambiguous forms of abuse, the investigations tend to do the political damage required to push people out of office. At the end of the day, you want a high bar for removing elected people from office. (You want a higher bar still for jailing them.)

> Statute is a clear writing in text

So are court opinions. Clear writings, in text, that describe the ruling's logic in detail.

Statutes can be re-interpreted by courts just as easily as precedents--it's a total myth that one form of the law is weaker than the other. If anything, case law is more concrete than statute--tangibly speaking, what courts decide is more important than what you think the text of a statute means.
I don't quite get the bargraph. So it's charting the price of everything relative to the most expensive item in the ticket?

What happens if I buy a $100 bottle of wine and the rest is small priced cheeses and vegetables for a party? It becomes useless.
How can this be irrelevant to this part of the case if this is precisely why, as per Apple, end users don't have standing? The court rejects this argument and points out that who sets the prices is actually a technicality, which is less important than who buys from whom.
Javascript took a lot of design decisions that were more appropriate to a single-application embedded scripting language than a general-purpose programming language. That's not a criticism of its original designers, but it is worth knowing when choosing a general-purpose programming language.
It doesn't, but it's still a bad headline. I'm on Malamud's side here. Georgia is clearly in the wrong, and they're behaving badly.

But it's not a story about Georgia trying to smear Malamud, it's a fairly dry story about the copyright case[1] they're bringing against him. Responsible editors don't take legal stories about appelate copyright cases and slap "terrorism" in the headline, they just don't.

[1] It's even a fairly subtle copyright case. The laws themselves are public domain, what he copied was the annotations (e.g. links to relevant court cases) that appear in the heretofore-privately-published law texts. Do curated links count as copyrightable material? I don't know! It's an interesting subject and I'm interested to read about it. But not when it's headlined as a terrorism accusation.

Airlines discover (by means of queueing theory, modelling and big data analysis) that if they pay you a small fee -- in the form of a tiny discount on your ticket (a few dollars) -- for putting your luggage in the cargo hold instead of taking it on-board with you, they save tons of money because planes get to load/unload faster, so reducing their time at the gate, essentially trading their gate-time for your baggage-claim time, so increasing profitability.

Seriously, these fads come and go like the order that shelves are stocked in supermarkets. It's all just a fashion industry and frequently only the thinnest of actual data/logic to back up some accountant/marketer's assertions that it is so. Watch in a few years' time when the fashion reverses...
