> The technology cost for a 4 mile ride is the same for a 50 mile ride.

Technically no, the real-time tracking requires constant data streaming to and from their servers, proportional to the duration of the ride.

But a more likely answer is that a fixed amount per ride makes short rides prohibitive or at least less appealing.

And if you think about it, much of the costs are probably fixed (across all rides), so you could say they should charge $millions to the first ride, then just charge marginal costs for the others. Dilution of costs across purchases is an indispensable part of doing business.

In a state/city with high income tax, you'll pay 13.5% social insurance tax, up to 10% state/local tax, and 10-25% Fed income tax, but you'll only hit the high end of those rates in total tax when you gross upwards of $300K/yr.

This is a good observation, and since I don't own a Tesla, I appreciate your perspective.

I definitely don't love Tesla, but I guess I think of it like this: I suspect Tesla can improve their software (and deliver it to all existing customers) a lot more quickly that their non-software-focused competitors can. I still don't think Tesla will ever have full auto-driving, but I know my car's Bluetooth handling in my 2014 Toyota sucks, and will always suck. If a Tesla's Bluetooth handling suck, there's a good chance it won't in another 5 years.

And Tesla isn't even a company I'm eager to defend, but I think JLG is right: software-focused companies will eventually beat out those which aren't. It'll take a while, but it'll happen.
The big things F-Droid is missing are apps based on services. Social media, banking, communication apps, commerce apps, media streaming apps. For most people, these are most of the things they use their primary mobile devices for. APKMirror can get you some of those, but some have been pulled and others require Google Services (which is where MicroG comes in).
Contractors get to set rates, employees don't. So you can't say they're contractors AND accuse them of committing fraud when they try to set their own rates.

This isn't how it works? Rates of pay are mutually agreed upon between an employer and employee regardless of classification.
This seems easy to fix on Uber/Lyft's side --- to recognize that they don't need to maintain book depth. At the airport, since passengers are effectively queued up.
We'll see about that. With frequent software updates, you don't really know what Teslas on the road today will be doing 6, 12, 18, 24 months from now.
Stealing documents is still a crime. That is the crime he's being accused of. (Being an accessory to it, to be precise.)

Publishing a bunch of documents does you get does not make you accessory to theft. Helping steal them does.
No idea how anyone can ban anything. Police cars will have cameras doing recognition soon. Several cities in the U.S. are testing LED street lights that have both cameras and microphones. Laws are usually vague enough and have enough wiggle room to side step, so I will grab a snack, sit back and watch.
Uber and Lyft don’t let their drivers set rates, but the argument (and law) is that they should — since Uber won a judgement saying their drivers were contractors, not employees, their drivers, then, are legally entitled the right to charging their own rate. For a lot of intents and purposes Uber/Lyft wanted drivers to be classified as contractors so they wouldn’t be subject to laws re: minimum wage for employees, but it seems also don’t want to be subject to all laws re: contracting (price negotiation).

Barring some extreme measure of lobbying for and passing a law that carves out an entirely new employment classification for the gig economy, Uber/Lyft/etc have to comply with at least one of the existing classifications.

Google requires a comprehensive privacy policy for apps and there are plenty of policy generators, but they don't make their own library specific privacy policies easy to find in my experience. Just using Google Play has privacy implications and it's a mess trying to track down and link proper policies without seeming like your app is stealing users social security numbers. It's possible I just have no idea what I'm doing, but I shouldn't need to hire a lawyer for an app that collects zero data by itself.
> How is it nonsensical? Is the end-consumer just supposed to sit and watch drivers and the company fight to see how much money they can extract from their wallet?

Who says the consumer has to take an Uber or a Lyft at all? They have exactly the same right as the driver to not take a ride. The demand curve is elastic; demand goes down as price goes up. Consumers are not locked into Uber or Lyft. Taxis exist. DCA is connected to two train lines.

> Stop trying to make outside forces seem like some sort of sinister scare tactic. It betrays _your_ bias.

Betrays? You get that I'm totally owning my bias, yes? And that I am not the one who is coloring driver action while ignoring Uber and Lyft's internal price fuckery?

Price fluctuations because Uber's internal model knows that I'll pay more for a ride than my girlfriend will are no more legitimate than this, and yet you just let those slide and focus, for some reason, on those "outside forces".

> But they sit at the airport and pretend to not be waiting for fares so they can force a surge. Then they turn on the app so they can both be readily available and get the surge.

So?

That is their only lever for expressing their willingness to work at a given price. If Uber and Lyft provided mechanisms for declaring price levels--"I am only willing to take rides at $X or more"--then this wouldn't happen. But that would reduce the cheap, high-volume rides that make Uber and Lyft their money, so of course they are uninterested in doing it. So drivers have their lever, and they are using it.

I'm gonna be real for a sec: what you're saying amounts to "they need to work for the rich people at the rich people's price because only rich people get to make decisions."

> Are the passengers also not part of the "poor people"?

Compared to Uber and Lyft: sure! Compared to drivers: generally not; of course, there are exceptions...but probably relatively few exceptions leaving DCA via Uber or Lyft).

But they don't have to use Uber and Lyft to leave DCA. Consumers have other options that they can leverage. If nothing else, taxis are a nearly hard upper bound on pricing.

I think that even within a relatively tech-savvy audience, most people don't realize both the extent of the data facebook may be gathering and the implications of facebook hoarding this information and turning it over (intentionally or accidentally) to untold third parties at some point in the future. Lots of information is harmless... until it isn't.

Consider, for example, giving your genetic material to a company that researches genealogy. Mostly harmless fun. That company is later quietly purchased- along with its databases- by a medical supplier. Meanwhile, cancer research has found that people with a particular gene sequence are at elevated risk for lung cancer. A partnership between the medical supplier and a medical insurance company means you can be screened for that risk without your knowledge, and suddenly you're screwed.

Even for those who don't see facebook as a malicious entity, there's considerable evidence that they do not exercise due diligence in storing and securing this information- see, for example, the recent case of leaking an enormous quantity of plaintext passwords via log files.

Enormous risks to individuals exist because the current regulatory environment poses no penalty to private entities for gathering personal information, sitting on it indefinitely, and transferring it to other entities until some purpose is identified. These risks may seem very small, but I believe that is mostly a fault of our collective imagination.

Well I was going to say that if you were only concerned with stopping execution, you could just count the number of instructions executed but alas TFA mentions that already. I'm not familiar with modern schedulers but it seems to me that to continue execution from a stopping point you'd need to restore (and therefore save) at least the instruction and stack pointers, plus maybe a couple other pointers for stuff like the global and current environments. Obviously if you're operating a register machine you'd need to stash/restore the state of all the registers as well, IIRC x86 uses the stack for that.
The whole policy of cutting good government for the sake of cutting ANY government is maddening.

I've seen similar situations at the state level where good programs that help people get their lives in order and get off government programs are cut under the banner of saving money... mostly targeted by politicians who are upset by government programs.
I made $70k / year for the past 7 years (finally got a raise at the start of this year), so ages 23 - 30. My work health insurance covered me, but not my wife, for most of that. We had our first daughter a week after I turned 27 and twins a week after I turned 29.

MY wife worked at a coffee shop until we had our daughter. Making around $20k / year.

In that time, we grew our net worth to $250k.

That's not a lot by some standards, but it is a hell of a lot more than most people our age have. Even people in similar income brackets as us. All it takes is living below your means.

I've just recently started using Java 8 on the job and what's really jumped out at me is the slight of hand of the Function interface. By simply creating a generic interface called Function and "tricking" developers into coding to an interface things like IOC containers and mocking libraries are no longer needed.

I don't need Spring to auto wire in dependencies in order to simplify testing. In my test class I can just whip up whatever dummy implementation I want and create add a constructor for the Unit Under Test to inject that implementation manually.

The other thing that's been rolling around in my mind using Java 8 with the Function interface is; if you want to expose architecture issues and other warts in the code base, disallow the use of mocking test frameworks.

I find it hard to agree. Hear me out...

They are contractors because they do not have any set obligation for time. Rate of pay or overall pay has nothing at all to do with that. According to the IRS they do not have a set schedule and they are contractors (that is 1099, not W2).

So they are contractors. What does that have to do with pay? Absolutely nothing. You want x and are willing to pay y. Maybe there’s an opportunity for me to negotiate for z, maybe not. Either way none of that has anything to do with the actual form of employment. Even if I were a salaried employee working 40 hours a week the company has a budget of $40,000 a year and that’s all they will pay. If I demand $45,000 they’ll just tell me no - they simply don’t have the money.

In this case Uber offered you $x. You agreed to $x. You have no schedule, which is the perk of the job vs driving a cab, where you will have a schedule. Need to take the kids to school or a doctor’s appointment? Well, work that around your work schedule.

And as for your third point... Uber already charges me for both time and mileage. I don’t see any problem with them paying their drivers based on both... but from the drivers I’ve talked to they already do. I can’t speak for any other service at all.
You are presuming that everyone gives a damn about open source as an end unto itself, not merely a means to an end. Ironically, the people who do consider it an end unto itself are probably the people most likely to despise the term "open source" and prefer "Free Software".

Ask RMS what he thinks about SystemD and I bet you he'll shrug and say it's fine because it's Free, and that's all he really cares about. Needless to say, most people have a greater diversity of concerns.
I second this. But would like to add one note: if you can't do it all at once, that's ok! And also, do therapy.

I've started a similar journey 6 years ago, and have been doing some of those things here, some there, sometimes none of them at all, but always coming back to the good habits. Sleep, healthy lifestyle, healthy body and healthy mind. Some times it seemed like I was making huge progress, sometimes it felt like I was back to the hole again. But it was all progress!

And one last thing that has made all the difference in the past two years: therapy. I went to the doctor, said I had all those issues and started working on them. Been on at least three therapists in the past two years, still think I'm gonna seek another one soon, but the progress I've made through therapy has been invaluable.
I'm glad this is still being maintained. It's a really great way to still run popular apps without having to go the entire F-Droid/OSS only route.

I hope the Purism 5 and Pinephone get released as well. I really want to go the Plasma route. If there is tooling I need that's missing, I hope it will force me to write and contribute apps that can help myself and others.

We need a real open source mobile operating system, not Google's cripple-ware.

For the same reason many readers will assume this headline is about power: "nuclear waste" is a term generally associated with reactor byproducts or weapons decommissioning.

Previous articles about this dome have used terms like "radioactive contamination" or "fallout-contaminated soil" instead, which does not have the connotations of nuclear reactor programs. I suppose those terms don't "pop" as well in headlines.

You get in a taxi and you know the base rate and the metered rate.

And taxis can't adjust the rate either.

Assange might be a number of things, but he’s not a journalist.
No, they did not agree to "drive for a service for X". They entertain offers to drive at a given rate. They can choose to take those offers or not. That's the whole point of the on-demand, contractor-but-not-really relationship (see also the way that Lyft and Uber punish drivers to don't take absolutely every ride that pops up on the app) that underpins Lyft and Uber's business model.

They're refusing to entertain offers below a certain rate. That drops supply, which requires price increases to satisfy demand on the other side. The market, literally, is working as intended.
great questions. how do you expect to have answers if even the reason for the main event, the hand over of Assange, is surrounded with disinformation ranging even from literal shit on the walls?

we will never know what exactly happened on this one. that is for sure.
Why? It is not about equality, it is about risk mitigation. Regardless of your stance on the issue, it is far more likely a male manager will be falsely accused by a female employee than a male employee (it is also more likely he will be truthfully accused by a female than a male, but that fact should make females happier about having another person present in meetings).
That's not true. The cabbies would still need a way to pressure each other to not accept lower fares.
That's not an isolated accusation of something inappropriate that happened behind closed doors. That's a verified (By all parties involved) example of unprofessional behavior in a professional, public space.
