Getting off topic here but actually I would love to invest in transit. And judging from the kickstarter in the link below so would many other people.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/crowd-funded-bus-take...

Unfortunately in my city (Toronto) and I would assume in many others it's illegal to run a private bus service.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/liberty-village-shutt...

So we're stuck with the government monopoly burdened with the enormous costs of public service transit unions with some transit union workers making six figures for things like being bus drivers or ticket collectors. Then you have bus routes that are not decided by numbers business purposes but by politics. Finally you have rude drivers and buses and trains that smell like urine. And you have buses and trains provided by special favored contractors that are technologically and mechanically less than what is available. My aging mother says it hurts her body to ride the bus because it doesn't provide a smooth comfortable ride.

So if we want funding into buses and trains we can start by dealing with the political quagmire that has made buses and trains inefficient and unfriendly to users. But the familiar government cry of "just keep throwing more money at it until the problem is solved" is likely not the best solution.
Of course not 95/5%, but we rely on statistics that all kinds of bad cases will likely not happen every time we enter traffic. What the right statistic is, how to get good data on it, and mentally accept it and the loss of perceived control, that's going to be interesting.
No, I think it is, that would explain a lot of things - like how can they make/sell premium mobile phones for less? If the Chinese govt is paying you (say) $100/user to plant a back door, that would certainly help.

Remember that Huawei settled out of court to the 'allegation' that they copied Cisco's source code.

So, are Facebook a front for the CIA?
It seems like sausage would be relatively much easier than a burger, considering there is much higher variation in the way it’s prepared. There are lots of kinds of good sausage, not as many kinds of good hamburger
At least one of the pictures shows the nets are on pipes that drain an open cistern. It appears that if the nets get clogged, water will fill the cistern and flow over, bypassing the nets. Seems like a fairly reasonable fallback solution until the nets can be cleared and put back into action. Other pictures show netted pipes that don't appear to have such a cistern, so I do wonder how overflow is handled in those cases - maybe a cistern upstream that's not visible?
The most important thing for remote workers is to tell them they have to give up subtext/implied context because it gets lost over remote channels very quickly. This is probably the hardest I've found. I've asked people who are not skilled in being explicit to throttle their attempts to initiate comms and watch how people are skilled in initiating and to try to learn from them.

For example, don't start a conversation off with "Hi", or "Can I get your help with that problem yesterday?" Or even "We're having difficulty resolving JIRA-2341" Rather, immediately narrow in on the specific, crisp question you need answered. Subtext and context can only be used when you expect someone to supply it. Senior people on my teams know to call this out, even if they know what the other person is talking about.

Also, everyone has to have ipads with pen or some type of drawing tablet for white boarding sessions. A camera pointed down at a whiteboard works well too.

Remote is very doable, but everyone has to be all in, and those who do not communicate properly can destroy the effectiveness of remote culture very quickly. And if they are the senior technical talent on your team, they can do it all the faster. Especially if they are co-located in an office as they'll communicate via non remote channels and vital discussions will get lost / unrecorded.

The other problem is there is pretty senior talent that doesn't look for remote work because they've learned to use charisma to short-cut and speed up getting things done rather than making complex arguments about things they already know to be true. This is in my opinion is the greatest blockage to making remote more effective than people wasting time and risking their lives by driving every day into an office.
Usual MO seems to be

-start a company using Bum off the street as a frontman

-import ship full of toxic waste

-rent dilapidated barracks from random farmer

-truck garbage in under cover of night

-set everything on fire

-go to step 1

At the start of 2018 there were 60 illegal toxic waste dumps in just first _three months_.

When the article highlighted the potential for global organized crime in the trash disposal industry that really made me think about how little of the process flow for waste disposal is mapped out.

In essence, when we pay a neighbor to dispose of our waste for us, they could just be dumping it somewhere that comes right back to bite us in the ass.

There’s the famous list of rivers bringing the most plastic waste into the oceans (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/stemming-the-plas...) and also the list of the most heavily polluted rivers (https://www.conserve-energy-future.com/most-polluted-rivers-...). Spoiler: the Sarno in Naples is one of them.

There’s lot of speculation over who’s doing the polluting and why, but as a base level we really need to capture the full journey of the waste to see what is actually going on in order to address it better.

What are the chances that when individuals try to do the right thing and be responsible, that the aggregate of waste goes into the hands of a group doing the wrong thing and hurting everyone as a result?

I would. You can use paper on a very small area. Water gets everywhere, often unnoticed.

In the vein of recommendations against washing poultry (it increases your risk for food poisoning), I'd put money on bidets being less sanitary.
As the recent federal election clearly demonstrated, the proportion of Australians who 'hate the current leadership' is a lot smaller than previously imagined.

It seems like the exact opposite is true. China in some sense doesn't abide by free market or free trade principles, and this can be seen as a principled stand against that.
I'm not sure this is really about Huawei at all, so in a sense it doesn't really matter if they have (up to now) done anything wrong. It's really about the extent we feel comfortable trusting the Chinese government.

Now obviously, every country has its own agenda, but there are (arguably) stronger reasons to be concerned about China than most others. They are undemocratic and suppress significant parts of their population (the Uighurs, Tibetans, Christians, ..), don't believe in free speech or freedom of religion, but also have a large economy and military presence. Now of course, other countries are not saints, but the differences with China (and in particular its disregard for human rights) make future disagreement much more likely.
Hasn't AOSP always had a launcher? https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Laun... is the current one.
Google is OK with it because they do it to small spenders. They have human account managers and a very visible phone number if you spend enough. Not saying I agree with it, but it makes sense.
Sorry, that's just ludicrous.

Putting plastic in a dump is much better than letting it kill animal after animal, decomposing into smaller pieces and getting into the food chain.

Ideally we design most plastics out, but barring that recycling would be fine - and just burying it is still much better than either burning or letting it drift into oceans.

I mean, I know why Nintendo doesn't treat mobile as a first-class platform: it isn't their hardware.

More than that, though, I think Nintendo doesn't like to make sacrifices to realise their ideas, both in terms of having to support multiple hardware profiles (as opposed to three for the 3DS line [normal, large, no 2D] or the single supported home console), multiple operating systems, loss of control in terms of what content is considered appropriate, loss of control over distribution, etc.

The sacrifices you have to make on mobile is subscribe to the pay-to-win model, garbage though it is, because people just won't pay a reasonable amount for a good game — Nintendo knows this all too well because of how poorly Super Mario Run did after the first month, and how few players actually paid for the game relative to the download base.

Mobile is between a rock and a hard place for Nintendo whose innovation is somewhat contingent on a level of control of which most mobile developers could only dream.

I suppose it's nice to hear that Uber is not uniquely exploitive of drivers - or even the worst, if I'm understanding things correctly.
Fair enough, I've experienced those pains myself. But what is the strategy with UXY? kind of a semi-fixed-width format that is only partially aligned, but still requires quoting/escaping? I'm not sure it's any better than CSV or PSV (pipe), and it also doesn't interoperate with existing tools.

I'm not attacking your overall idea, btw. I've just given this a bunch of thought myself, and the design space is very tricky. My current approach would be to use ASV (ascii codes 27-31) and abandon 'cat'-based readability in favor of a 'vcat' which gives you a better visual representation. Of course that has its issues too.. :)
The article focuses on the "predatory lending" narrative, but only briefly touches on what enabled all of this: Government regulation.

Like most professions, Taxi drivers lobbied for regulation to keep the inflow of competition down. They got it in in the form of the taxi medallion: No one shall be allowed to drive without it - and the supply is fixed.

Around the inevitable shortage that ensued, a cottage industry of medallion-hucksters emerged, driving the price to insane highs in places like NYC.

Drivers who didn't see (or understand) the risk were brought to "mortgage" these medallions at inflated prices, but with the emergence of Uber/Lyft the value of those medallions dropped. The government, scrambling for a scapegoat, then tries to ban Uber/Lyft.
It's a two step process. The first step happens within YouTube's guidelines and do not involve the DMCA. It then can escalate to an actual DMCA notice / counter.

Critically though, going to DMCA is really bad for the uploader because Youtube does not remove the 'strike' against your account when it gets escalated. So content uploaders almost never go here.
The efficient markets hypothesis seems Really Fucking Dumb™ to me. Like, trivially nonsense.
If they don't want remembered for atrocities in the past, maybe they shouldn't keep doing them in the present (e.g. ethnic concentration camps).
Not suprising given the article only mentions one city council doing this.
Considering that we have made ~0 progress toward true AGI, I'm skeptical that level 5 autonomous driving will arrive even within 20 years.
The political machinery in America receives a tremendous amount of input from private industry, which in turn influences how things are regulated. And then when things go bad, everyone can say it was just a big mistake. Maybe it'll end a few careers, but that's about it.

The immigrants in this story had no input in any of this. They had no representation, no influence. They're among the poorest and least influential people in our society, and the finance industry just ran roughshod over them.

This will keep happening as long as "we all made mistakes" remains a viable out for these institutions.
Hosting:
I'm fairly sure many streaming solutions (HLS, MPEG-DASH?) work by having the client request chunks of content pre-rendered at specific bit rates. Ergo the actual chunks are static content.

Recoding seems like a candidate for distributed computing, and a way for fans to support creators.
Totally agree, and thank you. As much as I enjoy being alone, if I go too long without any significant social contact my "social muscles" start to atrophy. I start misinterpreting others' social cues, I forget how to do the usual give-and-take of a normal conversation, I start coming across as aloof or pushy (which is enough of a problem for me already). It's particularly helpful to have social contact, even if it's just VC, with the members of my team, so I can "stay in practice" interacting with those particular personalities in that particular environment, but social contact with anyone is almost as good.
That is the first time someone has thought about me as a king. Even metaphorically and for a brief moment :)

Also, a CTE should never be used for performance. You will almost never speed things up by using a CTE, because, again, it's just a disposable view.
It's nice to hear that a company we all thought was brutally exploiting drivers isn't even the worst offender?

What exactly is nice about that?
To add on that- there are several other reasons why this makes sense- if you have solar power, batteries, and a regulator, it makes sense to go straight without going to AC in between- it's one less place to lose energy.
That link is for actual DMCA notices. With the Content ID take-downs, Google never actually receives a DMCA request. The music company (etc.) politely asks YouTube to take down the video, and YouTube complies out of the goodness of its heart. (Well, and a bunch of contracts that give some sort of quid pro quo for the arrangement between YouTube and these companies.)

It looks like these are all Content ID takedowns (well, actually not takedowns; whoever is making the requests is taking the ad revenue from the videos, but leaving them up). In these cases, YouTube has their own dispute system, but it doesn't touch the DMCA.

I think this is the relevant page: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6013276?hl=en&ref_...
The competition to youtube is virtually nonexistent. If you're a medium or small content creator (which most youtube creators are), then instead of deciding to go to vimeo you might as well just file for unemployment benefits.

And the network effects of youtube will ensure that this continues to be the case. Content creators aren't organised, so a mass exodus won't happen.
Interesting how the dominant narrative in NYC a year ago was "Uber is making taxi drivers commit suicide", and now we're seeing that revenues are down only 10%, and the real grift is from the finance guys extracting all the value in the medallion/transpo market.

I think we're seeing a huge confluence of relatively independent factors coming together through the form of "private equity" that are going to make like much more challenging for the bottom 80% of the population. PE fueling a boom and essentially usury in taxi medallions. Firms like blackrock and other large REITs buying up an insane amount of homes, jacking up rents and evicting people. Essential services like 911 dispatch and ambulances being taken over by PE firms and squeezed to the point of either uselessness (dispatch) or usurous practices (ambulance billing). I believe in markets and capitalism, but it's hard for me to see these changes and not sympathize with the new wave socialists in the US.

Seems like autonomous personal air travel would be a far, far simpler problem to solve than road-based driving? Far less edge cases, once you are in the air the only obstacles you really need to worry about are other vehicles, birds, leaves and the odd stray plastic bag. With VTOL the whole thing could be an order of magnitude easier than driving. By the same principle, sea travel would also have less edge cases, at least in calm conditions. Is it the case that people aren’t seeing markets for those applications of autonomy or is there some other reason why there isn’t the same hype in those areas?

The fund went up not down. That aside, I believe the point is that if a bot goes and does that, it is simply doing what a human told it to do; bots reflect the commands of their human masters in an environment (financial markets) created by and for human endeavors. Hiding behind "bots" is not a way to get insight into mechanics of how markets (mal)function, IMO.

This is why I prefer bootstrapping, your focus is entirely on sustainable growth and profitability, with the added bonus of not being beholden to VC's or a bank.

There are obvious exceptions to this like the biotech sector, but for 99% of SaaS companies I think it's the way to go.
When killed in duty, it's most often due to a traffic accident. [0] Garbage men die when their own truck runs over them.[1] Additionally, trash collectors get a lot more repetitive stress injuries. The cause of death for garbage men is just as intrinsic, to their job. It's just that the sanitation workers' union isn't as politically popular.

As for firefighters, it's literally no more deadly than being a painter (8.9 fatal injuries per 100k). They're both climbing tall ladders with one hand. It may not be romantic to say that, but that's the actuarial science.

>Vampire accelerators enable TCP / IP networking on a regular A500.

A regular A500 can do TCP/IP just fine without a vampire.

By using AmiTCP or roadshow TCP/IP stack and PPP, SLIP, PLIP (e.g. with a plipbox) or a NIC based on the left expansion header.

A600 and A1200 can simply use a PCMCIA card. The typical choice is ne2000-compatible cards using the cnet.device driver.
The fundamental problem with scrum is that bugs happen and nothing interesting from a development point of view can be predicted effort wise before hand, at least not accurately.

The right way, is to do all velocity analysis backward-looking. Create a culture where code reviews are done constantly and long after they've been merged in.

Use metrics like KLOC, duplicate lines of code, changes to code, stories completed, etc. That's the way to measure velocity. Measuring done done done by end of sprint, is really wasteful as some engineers get it into their head to pad their estimates to make sure it's completed by some arbitrary date. This just leads to a culture of padding estimates rather than completing work when it's done.

That said, I do like letting engineers pull tasks as they like. If a more senior engineer in a certain area can complete a task better and more thoughtfully, than he should have a chance to pull it.

This also does require technical PMs which can discuss and understand the cost of their stories. This is important regardless however.
