Doing hard things 'isn't impossible'.

Doing hard things is time consuming and/or expensive.

As a side note, I find it interesting how non-engineers describe the reverse engineering process. I thought this was hard to understand.
No, it isn't. You can literally create a website exactly the same way and it will work, excepting maybe some deprecated tags like <marquee> and <blink>.

The only thing that's become more complicated is enterprise web design, for professional sites.
'Obvious' != True

Now we have some evidence that it is probably true; we still need a bunch more studies to make sure this is reproducible and robust for a variety of circumstances. Yay science !
> They could be paying more but there's nothing forcing drivers to drive

Drivers take the low pay largely because they lack better alternatives. As long as that remains true and drivers can't negotiate pay, the drivers are absolutely being exploited.

Rideshare companies aren't going to raise rates because there's no labor competition to threaten their workforce and boost wages. On top of that, drivers can't negotiate pay.

How many people do you really think take jobs like that with low pay and no negotiating power because they really really want to? Many of the drivers I've ridden with don't have many other options.
Downvoting on HN confuses me. I don't ever downvote anything, I think it's a bad idea. Upvoting is ok, downvoting should be removed.

Also, looking at comments, often I see only upvote and no downvote button. Why is that?
> The thing that really annoys me about this is that if China would just be patient and play by the rules, be genuinely friendly to its neighbors, it would take them like 20 or 30 years longer but then the whole world would just place the crown on their head and they would peacefully become the world's only superpower. Naturally, maybe even justly. Now we all get misery because of impatience.

just playing the devils advocate but, couldn’t the same have be said about the us (e.g imf, world bank, regime change wars etc)?
I thought everybody's twitter feed has an army of bots included. I'm pretty sure a good chunk of mine are, and I'm nowhere near that high level.

Some time back I got the impression that bots simply follow the trail of twitter suggestions and the users who show up in the feed for retweeting things from those you currently follow. So the more followers an account has, the more bots will find it.

I'm tired of the continued devaluation of my profession.

Software development (I hate the term "coding") is not a manufacturing job, as much as some company wants it to be. And apprenticeships at body shops isn't going to create software developers, it's just going to create terrible software with obvious rot and decay as the years go own.

I doubt that "Australia" Found a Way is putting credit where it deserves to go. It's not exactly a national priority.
> it has to be the automaker that stands behind its product with a financial safety guarantee.

And, as I said, if I were the automaker, I would be extremely hesitant to give such a guarantee with human drivers in the car whose operation of the systems I am unable to control. So cars with such guarantees would basically have to be entirely self-driving, i.e., human intervention not even possible by design. That is a huge increase in required reliability, not to mention a huge change in how cars are currently used. Which is not to say it won't eventually happen, just that such a liability regime would, I think, significantly increase the time it will take to get to ubiquitous use of self-driving cars.

If you don't want political commentary, maybe you shouldn't let people post political articles? I see articles here every other day stoking the ancient fears of yellow peril, saying China is dystopian, full of liars/thieves, etc.

Where is your outrage at any of this?

I guess it's ok if it doesn't offend you personally? You're content living in your bubble where everyone pretends that everything is ok and if someone who doesn't look like you or has different life experiences, their opinion is invalid?

I'm sure you'll ban me after this because you hate it when minorities complain. Why can't they just stay on the plantation?

Even if the prices of the assets themselves are manipulated, if you have a buy-and-hold mentality and invest in companies with strong earnings, I think it's still rational to invest.

If you think the price of an asset is maybe 100% higher than it should be, but it has a current P/E ratio of 20, it's theoretically better than making no investment at all if you hold it for 10 years (not accounting for tax or how the earnings are distributed, and assuming constant real earnings). If all the stocks available to you are like that, and your only other non-shady investment options are an already terribly inflated housing market, I think it's still rational. There's also no guarantee that the bubble will even pop in 10 years. The best case scenario for overvalued equities is that they deflate at a rate somewhat lower than real growth - in that case, you see yoy growth in the traded price of the asset while the asset prices move towards more reasonable prices.
Class action? There are (tens/hundreds of?) thousands of creators affected.
I think that’s a indicator of an illiquid market, where sales are so few and far between that sale prices are dominated by the specifics of the situation (eg if you can buy three at once, if you can buy that specific day, etc).

As of 2012 (the last year for which I have data, fewer than 88% [EDIT: 80%] of taxi medallions were owner operated [1]. (A declining fraction.)

These loans were taken by financiers, not drivers. The anti-ridesharing messaging is predominantly funded by corporate medallion owners, not by drivers.

TL; DR This is a co-ordinated media campaign. You have better things to pay attention too.

What I learned as a VC filling in as a startup CEO for 4 months
Comparing million dollar loans as mention in the article with a single car loan is a bit over the top.

> financed by Uber, of course!

That ended in 2017.
There is an easier way. It is possible to shift balance of protection to the borrower. As an absurd example: allow borrower to deny his loan. The troubles with too big loans will end instantly, because lenders will think not just twice, but thrice and even ten times.

This absurd way is absurd, but lawmakers could make it gentlier in a reasonable way. Give a consumer more protection, shift more risks unto lender's side and viola, you need not to pay fees for a legal help, while system works much more reliable, because lender would pay from his own pocket for a stupid loan. Borrower mistanderstood terms of a loan and couldn't pay? So lets write off 90% of his debt, let him pay remaining 10%. Who is the dumb one now? Not the borrower who couldn't understand the terms of the loan, but a lender who hadn't bothered to make terms to be crystal clear to the borrower.

I'm not sure does it counts as a govermental regulation, I believe not, because government needs to tweak system a bit, and then system would regulate itself. In any case it is the easiest way. But lenders do not agree of course.

> I struggle to understand how they get so out of whack with even the very basics. Do they chose their preferred outcome and work backwards? Are they beholden/captured? Did deifying the free market close the door to tweaking markets to adjust outcomes (a deity is always right)?

It isn't that surprising when you see that the people that usually espouse such views aren't doing it from a good faith perspective, or are simply hopelessly naive. The people that do benefit from such policies (namely the companies that benefit due to regulation) then fund these people, leading to narratives that are totally out of whack with reality.

Free market capitalism is great when you don't have control over a market and want a fair chance to take over it. Once you do control the market, it becomes your most dangerous foe (any group of smart enough people with enough seed capital and more efficient production has a chance of destroying the company you built over lifetimes).

Nothing new this time around that I know of, though Huawei has admitted to specific allegations many times in the past (e.g. wholesale stealing of Cisco's software in 2003, got caught physically stealing Motorola wireless tech several years ago, etc). Huawei were banned from sensitive infrastructure in Five Eyes for security reasons circa 2013/2014, along with Lenovo (against which there were specific allegations IIRC).

This is just an expansion of official government policy put in place during the Obama administration to the rest of the private sector.

tl;dr: this isn't new territory for Huawei.

Yes so the logical conclusion would be to scale that up, in whatever limited capacity it is currently serving.

I'm a sysad in a software business.

Sure, the professional developers are paid well. However the more Jira and agile ideas takes over, you become more replaceable. Why? You're just a card-filling machine dealing with feature requests or problem reports.

And sure, the next developer may fill less cards, but they will improve with time.

And if you don't work in a protected area (federal, etc), then you can buy card-filling devs for 1/5 to 1/8 of US... And have them QA'ed for less than 1 USA dev.

Face it: I, a sysad, am a service worker. And devs are line workers. We're well paid, but so were factory workers at one time.
Do you know ZTE is owned by Chinese government?
I don't understand why your post is so defensive. For years, "tech jobs" were marketed as a way to the upper middle class for a broad swath of people (in America and elsewhere). This was not the doing of "two-bit journalists" (and Steve Lohr has a track record of pretty good work!); it was a concerted effort by tech companies.

It's turning out to not really be the case and the successful stories are comparatively few and far between, while the rest of America falls further and further behind for reasons largely not of their own making.

Should that not be talked about?
Everything you've mentioned is basically synonymous with "cost."

An iPhone built in the US from domestic components would probably cost more than most peoples' cars.

By paying the $200 you've already lost the negotiation. The work you should have done is to demand the resources to do the job the company claims it wants done.

Except that the market effects of Uber/Lyft’s network, coupled with their cash reserves, allows them to potentially distort the free market in such a way that they can push out the competition until they have a dominant position, and then it’s no longer a free market economy.

Not everyone works in "The Valley".

The vast majority of software is not written with that amount of churn.

The end user doesn't care about the quality of the code, but you can be damn sure they care about the quality of your software.

Also, talking about hammers is overly reductive. Software is far more complex than hitting something with a hammer. Builders might not talk about the best way to hold a hammer, but they constantly talk about the best way to build a house.
This seems related to the problem of how we have no idea how to hire people. I don't want to hire or work with people who are on to their fifth job by the time their crappy work starts causing major problems for the company that paid them to make it. But asking little whiteboard coding questions gives me zero signal to determine that.

As thomaswang says, that assumes that the query planner recognizes that it can hoist that query part out of the loop (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop-invariant_code_motion)

If it doesn’t, and runs it again and again, time will add up (possibly by less than 5 seconds for each time it gets run because the data could stay in memory)

That theory was only disproved at “Move the sub-query into a CTE” section.

Also, I’m not familiar with Postgres, so I don’t know whether it could significantly affect timing, but the query benchmarked at 5231.765 ms isn’t identical to that in the larger query. The latter has ::text[] added.

I also would try and replace

AND r_time > to_timestamp(1547585600)
AND r_time < to_timestamp(1549177599)

by

AND r_time BETWEEN to_timestamp(1547585600+1) AND timestamp(1549177599-1)

because the query optimizer might not detect that in this query.

> finance industry just ran roughshod over them

I don't see how "the finance industry" hurt these drivers. These drivers were required to buy a license for up to $1mm for the right to drive people in taxis. Obviously that's a lot to put up, so banks lent them money to purchase it much like they do for people trying to finance houses, automobiles, boats, or any other high ticket item.

I wish the article would actually spell out the terms of the loans rather than relying so much on personal accounts of people involved. The author seems to take issue with interest only loans or long term loans, but mentions how the drivers can barely afford the payments. I don't see how they would be able to afford shorter term loans.

I imagine many drivers are going to rightly walk away from these loans, and considering many are interest only, the borrower is pretty much on the hook for the loss in value. The article does mention some fees or debt collectors but I believe they can just walk away and default. Might hurt their credit but its better than the alternative.
It would be nice to see Sailfish on there; it might finally help it gain some traction.
