Ironic that you use the Wild West as an example.

Do you think the world would be better now if the British had just worked on improving Britain rather than settling in America?

I’m sure there were many people calling the settlers silly back then too.
Yes! Thank you! I don't know why my searching failed to find this, but it is in fact exactly what I was looking for. If this were Reddit I'd give you Gold. You're my hero.
If you open the Uber app and click the hamburgler at the top left, it will show your rating underneath your name.

Good luck with that. For now people like Musk and Gates are doing a pretty good job of things in various areas though.
Boring + Autonomy is an attempt at a solution to the space inefficiency of personal transport.

Personal transport is absolutely essential for the vast majority of people. Whereas public transit in most cases is not sufficient to live car-free, and ridership continues to plummet as a result which drives up costs [1].

The promise of autonomy, coupled with EVs designed for 1 million mile duty cycles opens up the possibility for personal transport to be significantly more efficient, and ecological than mass transit.

If you can do all that and put the majority of it underground, I’d say it’s revolutionary.

Yea I mean, if we're going to go down the hole of "cryptokitties" and other asset exchange, let's be honest, we're reliant on a third party to create the value in the first place already.
Agreed that social credit systems degrade society.

Did you ever notice that nice restaurants attract nice customers, and that scummy looking places attract scum. we are perfectly adept at governing ourselves already.

It's a solution looking for a problem.
It absolutely does matter, because it leads to "grade inflation" - people change their rating because, like the parent comment, they know that anything besides a 5 is voting to get the driver fired. Indeed, I'm only willing to give someone below a 5-star rating if I think I got really horrible service.
Here's a video related to this.

The CEL being on isn't enough for me to ding a driver but I've also never received an Uber ride where the CEL was on but the car was in otherwise top condition. There is definitely enough of a correlation between a CEL being on and the car having a blown suspension (bushings, struts, CV joints), some engine belt or accessory with a bearing about to fail, or brake pads so worn it's basically riding on nothing but the wear indicators (squealers). Sometimes I even get lucky and get all three.

Maybe it's reasonable to report the CEL in that situation since it's something most riders will notice and can easily be verified by Uber with a photo unlike the condition of the mechanical bits themselves.
It happens all the time.

I went to a public high school and I also missed out on all those things. It sounds like you got an equivalent education!

We often mistakenly think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. I suggest to you that in the alternate history, with you in a public school, you also would not have had girlfriends. I sure didn't have any, despite being tall and slightly athletic.

The same goes for being able to filter words to not cause offense. One time, that got me fired! My public school education served me just as well as your education served you.

Having 3 or 4 stars be normal isn't a problem though. The expectation that 4.6 is normal is a problem that AirBnb, Uber, and more and more companies now are creating. They show 5* ratings on the app to people who just signed up for apps. The average rating should be much lower than 5* in order to not mislead unsuspecting users. I don't expect it to be 3, but a 4 should be considered a good rating, and if it isn't, the app is engaging in false advertising. (Yes, I recognize that my cutoff is arbitrary, but 5 stars is supposed to mean excellent, and it has for time immemorial.)
Is Chevron enlisting its retirees in AZ to fight electric car infrastructure? Yes it is.

Is that a bad idea? Yes it is.

ICE cars got infrastructure from a combination of Gasoline and Car manufacturings teaming up to destroy public transportation at metropolitan levels. Know your history.

The rest of the world is going to pass this country by, and leave it a backwater, with the adoption of solar and electric power, alongside the transition to electric vehicles. And the drive for that will push battery technology even further, which is good news.
It's a coin toss. America, as it came, came at a huge cost. And over the course of 300+ years, it was carried out in possibly the least ethical manner possible.

I for one would have been happy for the Europeans to evolve for another 1000 years before they set foot in the Americas, in earnest, under the aspect of eternity.

Part of it is an identity thing, part of it is an age thing, but part of it too is a location thing. When plants like this out in the literal middle-of-nowhere close, entire towns die. You might suggest that people just move, but what if they have a mortgage on a house that's suddenly worthless? And that's not even factoring in the "soft" costs of losing your community and possibly moving away from family. Given the U.S.'s aversion to social welfare, people end up stuck without any options.

Try more like $25k per year for a public state school nowadays, unless you commute from home. At least that's what it costs at the public state university I graduated from (Illinois State). According to their site for Freshman starting Fall 2019: Tuition and Fees: $14k, Room and Board: $10k. They added on Personal Expenses, Books, and Transportation in their estimate as well and got $31k per year.

When I first went to that college in the late 90s, it was $6k a year, including room and board. I had a full-ride scholarship (which I wasn't able to hang on to for more than 3 semesters, but that's another story), and it was going to pay $24k total for all four years. Now it's that much for 1 year.

By the way, if tuition followed inflation AT ALL (i.e. I checked an inflation calculator), the cost would have only increased to $9k a year, including room and board. Clearly the price tag of college has just increased out of control for the past 20 years.

Hi HN! Reddit has been a promising source of early users for us at chef Connie; for example a single response on a post with lift can easily generate 10+ signups, most of whom finish activation.

We didn't want to miss out on any action—showing up late to the conversation really dampens results!—so we whipped up a microservice to notify us of relevant posts.

Enough friends and founders have asked us to share; thought I would post it here to help you improve your startup or project's odds of success :)

Hope you like it! How can we make this easier to install, or better fit your inbound marketing practices?

> I wonder if in a future with more flexible financial systems (smart contracts, etc.) maybe we could pay with college via a percentage of future earnings for a fixed time.

I always find it curious how so many people are eager to advocate literally selling yourself into slavery for a college education, while being so outspoken against the word "slavery".
Stories like this demonstrate that our idea of the "middle class" is a postwar anomaly. People ask why the middle class is shrinking, but really we should be asking why such a large middle class ever existed. It was never normal until after WWII.

In the postwar period, American manufacturing had far less competition than it does now. Most other industrialized countries were recovering from the war, foreign cars did not fit American consumer preferences, and China was locked into a decades-long cycle of self-destruction. Automation technology wasn't very good, so there were tons of factory jobs. All of that has now changed.

This man's job, and the other jobs like it, only existed because of historical circumstances that cannot be replicated. Politicians might be able to save some manufacturing jobs, but we will never have nearly as many as we did before.

I feel sorry for this man, because jobs like his aren't coming back, and because he is being lied to by politicians who say those jobs can be saved.

It's possible that what we are now seeing is the end of a historical and economic anomaly: a mass middle class. Our politics is not handling it well.

> It's hard to know what I could be doing to get a better rating beyond just bribing drivers with cash tips at the end of the ride.

This is almost all that matters now. Any drivers forum will be full of drivers basically talking about how they give lower ratings if you don't tip cash. A few are even full-on blatant about it in person if you bring it up.

After time I think we'll see things coalesce around only riders who pay cash tips get 5 star ratings.
So many comments in this thread I can't tell if they're satirical or not - I feel like that episode of Black Mirror has less obviously outrageous statements than this thread.

I think this goes to show the unintended negative consequences that can apply when you take a generally good idea and start applying a "false precision" rating system to it - Goodhart's law and all that.
Yeah - I’d be wary of doing it without changing the parameters for that reason. But obviously you can’t check a link without checking a link.

It would also be interesting to hear whether someone actually considers me to have failed anything when visiting a (faux) attacker’s link on my own device off the company network and entering no credentials.
Lots of problems with that infographic. Four sources listed, two of which are homeschooling-advocacy organizations, with no indication which numbers are drawn from which source. How were the samples selected? Are they apples to apples, or mandatory all-inclusive numbers for the public schools vs. voluntary respondents to a survey for home school? [1] is a better source for demographic information, painting a quite different picture, while [2] highlights some of the ways that advocacy groups have been caught distorting the achievement numbers in their favor.

His girlfriend is trying to make the system useful for communicating both great and terrible service while everyone else has gamed it down to a reporting mechanism. His girlfriend is right and everyone else is wrong.
You present one well-honored experience. I present a stark contrast to it.

> My wife and I homeschool, but we have our kids pushing well beyond their grade level in every subject.

My parents told themselves the same thing. I apparently had top percentile test scores in several early years, particularly in math. Despite that, my parents completely failed to provide an education after choosing to homeschool.

> She had a teaching license up until a couple of years ago (they do expire after a while) and taught for several years before we had kids.

Neat! Not that it really matters, but I am curious: what did she teach?

> they're also plugged in with a local co-op with more than thirty kids that they meet up with several times a week.

That's also something my parents told themselves and others. Despite that, it wasn't exactly an honest statement. We met with other church members about once every week for about a month. Then about once every quarter of a year for about a year. Then basically never, while my parents fell deep into paranoia.

> it can also be the platform for an elite education like no other.

Yes, it can. But my experience brings with me a very skeptical mind.

> There's a reason the wealthiest families in American pay for private tutors and elite schools with tiny class sizes. Nothing beats one on one from a capable instructor.

While you're right in that there's a reason for private tutors and elite schools, I think you're wrong about your conclusion for the wealthy. I think wealthy parents don't want their children to associate with poor people who can't afford to hire their own private lessons. I think that's also a despicably-elitist action.

> They'll walk away from this better equipped than any of their peers in traditional school.

It's almost as if you're parroting the same things my parents said. Indeed, I walked away better equipped for computers than pretty much anyone I know. But that's more of a byproduct of spending years in front of a computer than anything that my parents actively tried to teach. Where I gained knowledge about computers there's also loss of other opportunities and knowledge.

> Honestly, if there is anything wrong with homeschooling itself, it's that it is only available to middle and upper class families.

You are wrong. I consider myself middle class. Almost all of my family are somewhere between poor and destitute.
"Now before you try to tell me "well you should've forwarded the email and been done with it" those guys are going to be pissed as fuck if I pass along every spam link trying to sell me boner pills"

I know you say the team would be pissed, but it's actually the exact opposite! Firstly, most sophisticated companies have automated the abuse inbox management process, but even when it's not automated, I'd rather 100 easily ignorable reports about boner pills than one person not send an actual spear-phishing email. Plus we can use the generic spam reports to better train our spam filters so please do keep sending them, even the Nigerian prince stuff.

Why can't OP not agree with (what he deems to be) Elon's vision? Because Elon Musk is rich? What had he been poor; would it have been Okay then?

I'm no Elon fanboy, but to patronisingly push someone down because they admire someone you don't idolise is... a bit rich.
That actually sounds about right from my perspective (and experience). Out of curiosity, why do you think that is a lot?

I would go a bit further and say most companies should only proceed with a microservice architecture if they have sufficient scale and automation such that decomposing their architecture will result in at least a high double digit number of discrete services.

Neat!

Well, the cutoff switches functionality was changed according to the Seattle Times, so while the procedure may be shared, the semantic significance of the switches did, in fact, change for MAX.

> This could lead to enormous value for users.

In what way? I think that was the parent poster's question. I think it's fair if we're going to be making huge broad-strokes claims we should at least attempt to justify them.
The lesser evil. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. History is full of examples where people followed short term aligned interests straight into long term suffering.

Do you think it's more about your values or somebody's ego and interests?
"embedded" (not sure if anyone uses that term anymore)

They certainly do. There's an entire industry that builds control software for network-connected devices. These days you probably run an embedded web server and/or provide a network-accessible control protocol over something like TCP or UDP with separate software/app that runs locally on the user's device. Then on the back end you link to whatever functionality the device has rather than just storing everything in a database as a typical CRUD application would. There's a wide range of tools available for things like putting together a minimal Linux base and cross-compiling your code as well.
This should be good news for Firefox and Safari. I'd be interested to hear from Gorhill on whether uBlock Origin works with the Content Blocker API for Safari and if not what needs to change to make it possible.
Are orders settled onchain? If so, this is too expensive/not scalable. I'm looking forward channel/HTLC based exchanges.
No, no terms necessary. Harsh punishment though.
It almost certainly depends. I don't use Uber or Lyft much but I use a private car service to get back and forth from the airport on a pretty regular basis. While earning some extra money is doubtless part of it, a lot of drivers are retirees and one gets the impression that part of the reason they drive is to get out of the house and talk with people.

They're always very polite. If I want to snooze or read or whatever, they quickly take the hint. But I certainly get drivers who clearly would like to chat, which I'm perfectly happy to do if I'm not groggy or have anything I need to work on.
As a busy self-learner, when is it time to learn data structures in depth? I feel like there are always 10 other technologies I need to know more urgently (eg, more bash, Linux, testing frameworks, deep learning, c++ libraries, linear algebra, common security mistakes/attacks, OpenGL, etc)
They work best if your team has low standards and just settle with whatever the framework has choosen for you.
I'm not surprised it's fine for many.
Yeah, definitely. Anything with lots of dependencies is a good candidate for simplification of install and running if nothing else. An added benefit is that you don't have to deal with needing different system dependencies on different host OSes.

It doesn't appear that OpenCV would be difficult to dockerize. It looks like a few people have done it on GitHub already.
like any other entrenched monopolist, Plaid shouldn't want OFX to make it easier for new entrants to enter. Building something to interact with OFX is easier than building a scraper.
One of the things that makes a (hu)man is the ability to learn. So what a "man" is after losing one job or career is a person who can learn something new and do something else. That doesn't solve short-medium term financial challenges, but I find it hard to accept that one's life is over if their primary job ends.
I'm not sure I'm convinced they're better than burgers from grass fed ruminant animals. Then again, I'm allergic to legumes so won't be having them anyway.
How long until someone correleates this with protected_class and finds this whole social rating system inherently problematic?
How do you prove this though? It's the classic "you can't prove a negative" scenario. I have no particular desire to associate this account with my real name or I would post my work email here just to let people try.
Indeed, almost the entire ad-blocking market is controlled by the company behind Adblock Plus (eyeo GmbH), who has contracts with Google. It appears they also own AdBlock, and uBlock (not confused with uBO), so during the last years they basically tried to capture the entire market. The fact that Eyeo has >150 employees tells us something about the amount of money to be made from ad blocking. Although they have only published the numbers from 2016, it seems they are quickly approaching around €50 million yearly revenue, with almost 50% of pure profit. For Google this Acceptable Ads Program may be more than a 100 million dollar business.

The only real nuisance is uBO and the future possibility that someone comes along and uses Google's own software to eliminate their core business model.

Basically in this entire environment if an extension does not take part in extracting money out of people, it becomes a problem for most parties involved.

Someone at Google in the higher ups probably realized at one point that giving the user so much freedom and control could theoretically backfire enourmously.

Google indirectly controls ABP, but they want the ABP model to apply to all blockers, so that they both get money from non-blocking users as well as from blocking-users.

In the perfect world of Google content-blocking does not exist beyond mere visual ad-blocking of the most annoying ads.

ABP already allows cookies and network connections, so google still knows everything about those users.

Personally I use a combination of pi-hole, third-party cookie blocking and uBO, which takes care of basically all cross-site tracking. But when I recently had a look at another system of someone who uses ABP I noticed that the blocking really is only visual, theres still a profile that is being sold to data brokers, you just don't see the stuff they recommend to you.

The default settings of ABP are also extremely anti-user.

ABP/Eyeo is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

uBO users on the other hand are basically invisible to the survaillance capitalists.
