Because of people like you. The intelligence agencies and their supporters are so goddamned stupid paranoid - they go around fucking with everyone and murdering people because they are out to get them - because they go around fucking with everyone.

It is clearly a pattern of lead poisoning - the utterly stupid violence.
I'd suggest you think more deeply.

All parent, regardless of class/richness want to be supportive. the question is what support can they offer? Sure, a sofa, most people have that. But thats not a long term solution. What if your parents don't have any savings, how will they help you with that debt?

They can't

Its not an issue of will, its an issue of possibility.

Now, I intensely dislike the use of "privilege", as its more often than not tool to stop discourse. But, to assume that every parent is _capable_ of providing long term accommodation, financial, transport or other support is shore sighted at best.

I suggest perhaps you might want to expand your social circle, so you can see this sort of thing first hand.
When you're in poverty, getting out of poverty is about risking, but not in a lottery kind of way you're talking about. It's about risking to get away with not spending the money on some immediate emergency and holding it for some bigger emergency in the future.
Well that's the whole idea behind Snapchat, but I get your point.

Sometimes I wish I didn't have so many messages saved forever tho, honestly.

Where do the other 50% of our genes come from?
The problem is that the "avoid shelling $60+ each" idea continues to be a dream. Games are added only many months later when the first-week/month revenue well runs dry, and by then you'd probably find a good deal online. The gaming PC argument can work, but PC-based game-subscription streaming services usually end up running at mid-high graphical settings (OnLive did, at least), and you can build a PC nowadays to satisfy that at not a high cost. (But we'll see what Stadia ends up delivering)

The closest we got (if I remember correctly) was Darksiders 2 launching on OnLive at the same time as PC, but it was also a rental game rather than being part of their Netflix-style subscription PlayPack.
No emoji/pictures/link previews is a feature to me. You know if someone posts a link nobody's going to click.
or that lump sum taxes are somewhat perverse (see PAYE in the UK)
You're not handling input elements correctly. Using CSS to hide things like CC number fields etc via blurring is a fool's errand. You're going to have split-second rendering issues that still display info in cleartext on the screen (I get this is for an "already loaded page" but still - I would hope blurring persists from page to page). Sometimes Chromium gets buggy and can display stuff for seconds at a time before a CSS3 blur is drawn (trust me - I've tested this at scale).

As someone who's had to do this for automation purposes (can't get a CC/SSN in a screenshot due to compliance) you first set sensitive fields to "password" on the input element, query the DOM to ensure a "safe state", and THEN you fill then input.

Also - other comments on blurring being reversible are correct as well.

TLDR: Replace attributes/characters to do properly censor text on a webpage. Source - 10+ years of automation (same logic still applies to vanilla front-end dev). Not a very useful tool.
That's not really true thanks to micrometeors. They'd have it ripped to shreds, and if it was connected to the main habitation units, would remove the air from there too.
Amazon Launches Flight Bookings in India in a Superapp Strategy
I dont see how Lyft gets off calling this fraudulent. Seems to me it's the system working as intended, and as it should.

Drivers dont want to drive for under a certain value, so they simply inform the app who adjusts the value to fulfill demand. Seems like its what you want to happen.
The Future of SEO in a Socially Driven World
Not many people care about startup failures, except high profile ones.
"On average, Lyft drivers earn over $20 per hour."

I wonder if this figure takes into account all the waiting time, or just driving time on the app. If it is the latter, then that's a pretty scummy thing to say, considering that most drivers spend less than a third of the time actually driving people to their destination, putting the actual number closer to 7.00 an hour.
Uber/Lyft probably knew this was going on already, but since it increases revenue, probably was looking the other way. It’s going to be hard to ignore this now that it’s getting media attention.
So like any other messenger? You can delete your logs whenever you like, but they don't get deleted automatically.
Paul said you don't have to be rich. Matthew responded as if he'd said that it's not beneficial to have a safety net. That's putting a statement in to his mouth that he did not make.

Anything more than a "fuck off" from PG was charitable.
Yes, but Huntington's is an explicit cluster of symptoms at diagnosis + a specific prognosis. Uppercase D "Depression" is a diagnosis built around a single symptom, lowercase d "depression". But many people experience depression, both in "core mental illnesses" like bipolar and outside. (Note how bipolar is much better constructed -- indeed the method of differential diagnosis was invented by Kraepelin to differentiate bipolar from schizophrenia)

If it was up to me, big D Depression would be redefined as "responds to Prozac" or something.
One factor you cannot ignore is the exponential increase in the number of 'scientists.'

In times past, for better and for worse, college was generally relegated to an extremely small section of generally over-performing society. And of these a tiny minority would then go on to pursue the post-grad level education that would culminate in becoming a scientist. In today's society college has become high school 2.0. And to some degree post-graduate education is going down the same path. For instance today more than 1 in 8 people have some sort of postgraduate degree. [1] Sourcing that because it just sounds absurd. In other words today more people have a postgraduate education than the total that went to university in the 70s.

This has resulted in an exponential increase in the amount of stuff getting published as well as a simultaneous and comparably sharp decrease in the overall quality of what's getting published. So I would actually tend to agree with you. This cynical state of science is generally pretty accurate for the state of what passes as science today, but it was not always this way. 'Science' as a whole is in many ways reflective of the mean, and in the public mind even the lowest common denominator. And both of those have undoubtedly fallen far below what they were in times past.

It’s a huge problem in the firearms community - most of us are scared.

FTFY
As much as I would be displeased if my fare were manipulated, I can only blame Uber and Lyft for this. They created an incentive for drivers to act as a unit, and groups of drivers are figuring it out. Really makes you long for the transparent, posted pricing of municipal taxis
> They can’t afford to pickup people at Reagan for $4 in rush hour traffic.

Are they really getting paid $4 to give someone a ride? That seems so low that drivers would be incentivized to find another job.
They're also called, or very similar to, "carboys". Google says they're called "jimmy johns" in USA, but I've no knowledge of that.
And it’s not like Uber and Lyft are a monopoly. Taxis are available, and there are roughly eighteen million private car services in the area.
Pricing is incredibly hard to get right. It's very, very likely that the market for a tool like this is small, so charging $2 would actually net the author far less than charging fewer people $20. In that regard it's correctly priced at $20.

The apparent simplicity of some code has absolutely no impact whatsoever on the amount you should charge for it. What you charge for your product should be based on the value that the customer gets from it and not the amount work that you've put in to it. If you decide a price based on the level of effort it takes you then you are almost certainly not charging enough.

I would be really surprised if there were not free extensions that did effectively the same thing. And if there are not, someone could probably whip it up in a day or two, and there goes your business.

The danger that someone could release a free version of your app exists regardless of what you've made. That's not a very good reason not to make an app and try to sell it.
> A poor person not betting on anything is bound to stay poor. Your point is?

And the poor know this. And yet, they still have literally everything to lose if they fail. They don't want to be poor, but being poor is better than being with absolutely nothing.
And it only works as long as all of the drivers in an area agree: one or two drivers who don't join the scheme, and it doesn't work.
Mentioning SpaceX and autonomous Teslas in the same breath makes me wonder if the Starlink satellite internet program is related to his plans for self-driving cars.

Based on those differences I'd wager that a lot more people in the UK would register their side gigs whereas in the US the trade-offs are rarely worth it unless you intend to make it a "legitimate business" at some point.
News flash: if you go out of your way to classify your entire workforce as contractors, you don't get to decide when they work or not. It turns out this has consequences on both sides.

If Lyft wants to decide when their drivers are working, there's a process for this:

1) Hire employees

2) Give them a schedule

3) Pay them hourly plus mileage
Best way to distribute electron apps?
I’m looking for a service(probably won’t find anything free, would I?) that I can use to distribute electron based react apps, with the facility to update the application OTA, like how discord does it. Would also be nice if I can start off free distribution and sell the apps in future. Any recommendations would be much appreciated!
Yea... People have been even hoaxing journals for decades and it goes ignored. This scheme got some attention, probably just for how hilarious it is that they published a chapter of mein kampf in one of the leading feminist journals of gender studies: https://youtu.be/fvZNXRiAsn4
Seems to me that if they're contractors they should have the ability to set their own rates. What's unfortunate is that they have to trick the app.
Based on the other comments mentioning that the Ireland's GDPR office is apparently trying its best to avoid helping EU citizens, I'd guess he might be double-checking if there's any chance he can get anything from FB before taking it to the courts.

Other than that, my guess is he hopes that this story will get picked by press sooner or later, and thus tries to make the paper trail as attractive and instantly easy to use in newspapers as possible. With a side goal of also making it as attractive, fun to read, and generally entertaining as possible, to any other people casually coming by his site. Which I see as a very noble and valuable goal, esp. when talking about legal stuff, which is super hard to talk and write about in entertaining and approachable way.
I can think of a ton of technical ways Uber and Lyft can combat this. And they probably will. And they'll be short term happy and long term foolish. Because they're treating the symptoms, not the cause.
One that I'm working on myself and too afraid to post publicly. The people on this site are not my target audience either.

Also does that include repairs, depreciation, insurance etc. of the car? What about fuel?
Suddenly google circles don't seem so silly after all.
There are quite a few non-legacy bank accounts that you can apply for a company account with in a very painless manner. Monzo, Starling and Tide spring to mind. I use Monzo as part of their business banking trial, but I previously have used Tide and (unfortunately) RBS.

The title used here (“Your next OS X update will reduce CPU performance by up to 40%”) is an inaccurate summary of the support article.

Per the article, the update won’t affect CPU performance. It will apply Apple’s recommended mitigations for the recent batch of vulnerabilities for most workloads. But for users with higher risk workloads or who are planning to execute untrusted code, they’re adding a configuration option which would enable more stringent mitigation’s. Those mitigations have the 40% perf hit.
....why? I never really understood this obsession with laptops people seem to have. Do you really need to game from a coffee shop?
>Just because something is (or seems) effortless to others

My favorite part of skate videos growing up was at the end when they showed all the wipeouts and crashes. They hurt to watch, so much, but they always drove home the fact that it took a lot of painful and frustrating failures before the guy landed that really smooth 35 stair grind.

The point it, things often seem effortless to others but that's just cause you're not really seeing the effort being put in.
> For reasons outside my area of expertise, UK companies sometimes divide themselves into numerous sub-companies

One of the common reasons for subdividing firms (in general, not particularly the UK) is to take advantage of liability limitations, which work as well for corporation as shareholder as for natural persons as shareholders. If it is less onerous to set up firms in the UK, you'd expect UK firms to do more of this, because the cost/benefit analysis would favor more of the cost is lower.
It's a surprisingly tricky problem, btw, at least for some languages. Here's a nice 2014 talk by Jessica McKellar: Building and breaking a Python sandbox that gives insight into some pitfalls. Might be "solved" by now though, don't know.

Not the GP, but it's quite easy to get used to not having breakfast. Any sluggishness you may observe (you may not either) would usually be temporary. Intermittent fasting allows one to have (almost) zero calorie beverages, like water, black tea, herbal tea, black coffee, etc., without any sugar. If you feel hungry initially, just have one or two of these until your next meal to adjust. Just keep in mind that hunger pangs in the morning will usually return if you have start having breakfast anytime for a few days. The body usually goes with how it's been treated.

As always, this is not professional medical advice. Please take care while experimenting.
If Apple are considering moving to their own CPUs, I can only imagine mitigations like this are going to weigh heavily.
Isn't the lack of a stateful REPL a feature in Haskell? Don't get my wrong, I love image/state-based developing (having working knowledge with SmallTalk and just getting into emacs). But I think it is quite haskelly to introduce functions that create the state rather than create the state interactively yourself. This should be good for mocking and tests also. Yes, this is more work than in most other practical languages, but this is Haskell for you ;)
If Any
Thanks for this information. I was unaware.

As this is the process though, I'm still going to say that this is the logical next step.

Likely the only way to get any movement on this is with public outcry, and if this issue gets enough attention, would be good to show not only the flaws in Facebook's system, but also any flaws in GDPR enforcement.
At the 80s.. computer put into a otherwise useless room. Sounds smart and realistic even for a big manufacturer. They probably used it for some administrative stuff :)
Most company formation agents offer a free "bank introduction service". I have no idea how the logistics work, but I was able to open an account with Santander in a matter of minutes.
And suddenly Uber/Lyft are like any other Taxi company just with a massive valuation.

> What you charge for your product should be based on the value that the customer gets from it and not the amount work that you've put in to it.

Go one level deeper. How much effort would a competitor have to put into building a competing product and undercutting you?

If the answer is "one afternoon," then you either need to figure out a way to make competition less likely or set a more realistic price.
I don't quite understand this:

"The lot fills with 120 to 150 drivers sometimes for hours, waiting for the busy evening rush. "

Are they saying drivers site and wait for hours to do this?
We Need a Public Media Stack
The taxis are still available if you’d rather use them.
I personally believe that driver's compensation is a valid discussion, but defrauding the system is not the way to do it. Uber/Lyft should just carefully identify and ban the cheaters and the lesson should spread as efficiently as the planning to cheat.
Reminds me of the kid that bought an IBM z890 mainframe and brought it to his basement. And got it to work!

There is no toxic negativity
The title is misleading at best. The quote per the article is :

"Although there are no known exploits affecting customers at the time of this writing, customers with computers at heightened risk or who run untrusted software on their Mac can optionally enable full mitigation to prevent harmful apps from exploiting these vulnerabilities. Full mitigation requires using the Terminal app to enable an additional CPU instruction and disable hyper-threading processing technology."

Not all Macs are affected by this patch and the reduce in performance will affect those with a hyper-threading CPU.
It's not double buffering - double buffering is just calculation into memory and then a memory update.

VDOM is essentially calculating the buffer once in a scripting language, and then again in a fast way if necessary.

Despite that, it may still be a good idea.
Sounds like a cartel. Where parties mutually agree to cut supply to keep prices at a certain level.
There's synergy between everything he works on, it seems to be a natural extension to his flow of thinking - expanding further into the next biggest market. It's the ESSO (gas company) model: they needed a truck to transport fuel, so they designed a truck to manufacture, and sell it to others too, and so on.
US is also threatening to stop business with whoever doesn't ban Huawei, so that's why
I wonder if this is legal?

With the drivers classified as independent contractors rather than employees would cooperation between drivers to manipulate prices run afoul of antitrust law?
No, science is always science. Just because the media portrays certain things as "scientific truth" (or, for that matter, scientifically unsure) doesn't make it so.

Indeed, even if scientists claim something bogus, that doesn't make it science.

So...actually, yeah, it's a lot like the argument that the USSR wasn't real communism, any more than the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is democratic. People claim it to be X, other people take that claim as gospel and use it to paint X as terrible, despite the fact that the people making the claim are full of shit.
how about using web sockets?

There's no evidence that no technical consultation was done. It's very likely that senior technical staff were consulted, and asked to keep it quiet (and succeeded).

All this report says is that rank and file had to be calmed down after the reveal (fair enough). That doesn't mean that technical input wasn't asked or, or even listened to.

Like, I can totally see something like HQ asking "What would it take for you to grow X, achieve Y, by Z", and then PlayStation unit saying something like "M people, N money, O risk". And then HQ was like "oh, MS can do better than that".

I mostly agree, but the GP is also certainly correct though. There is in fact a "holier than thou" science and it is that which follows the scientific method. It is reproduced, empirical, fundamental science. Most garbage published in journals today does not meet that criteria, and even economists, psychologists and even sociologists call themselves scientists when they cannot possibly follow the scientific method in nearly every part of what they study.
