Is there a single city anywhere in the world where "Uber" is the only option for transportation?

There are cities without Uber. But I can't think of a city that has no taxis and only has Uber...
There is anything plenty of stuff that could irrevocably nerf the viability of Earth as a habitable world. Something will wipe out all remaining life on Earth eventually. A billionaire wanting to go to Mars makes more sense to me than a billionaire trying to build the world's biggest private yacht.
Uber will ban riders with low rating, same as was predicted in Black Mirror
>That is, I'm just not going to look for, or even open, emails.

How long do you think most people could get away with that without being fired? I'd guess I'd last about a week at most.
Smart kids just get held back in school

It's clear to me that A) you don't have kids and don't have any experience with kids in school B) you led a very privileged life and had a better than average experience in school C) think smart kids should be held back or slowed down so the less fortunate kids can keep up and further dumb down and brain drain society because that's how it works in schools D) You're so ignorant on the subject you obviously are a victim of the public education system you're so adamant to defend.

Your analogy isn't worth addressing, its not even close to accurate. Its pointless to continue.
Yeah that was brutal; the definition of oh, you lost a few thousand dollars? That sucks ETH transactions are irreversible. Now I lost a few hundred million so all of a sudden it’s reversible, no harm no foul -- and most importantly, no lessons were learned that day.
> Why does the old man need to learn programming?

That shows the curiosity at play here rather than the requirement to learn programming.

> let the developer do what he does best, and let the old man do what the developer can't

And why you think that the developers cannot do anything other than coding?

> 1. The illusion that anybody's first web app can be an immediate success.

> 2. The hubris of techno-utopia, a.k.a. "learning to code is the solution to everything".

Where in the story it is mentioned that learning to code is solution to everything. It is specifically mentioned that the man published his web app as an exercise and for fun and the success is unexpected.

> On that note: don't be preachy. Stories that are meant to "teach lessons" or contain "lots of social messages" are rarely good stories.

No, it should not be preachy. I personally don't like preachy movies. But social messages can be communicated subtly without being preachy.

> Tell your story, make it a good story, and let the reader figure out the lessons for him-/herself.

Yes, exactly. That's the way I think too.

> I've never heard of an open-source movie being produced

Developers who develop open-source software for movies do have projects that produce open-source and CC licensed content. My other intention here is to provide opportunities to both tech professionals and university students who are studying Film and TV. By participating in this project they will get experience.

> but perhaps you can turn it into a (collaborative) novel?

Yeah, that is a good idea as well.

Thank you!
All of those things could also be accomplished by doing something, you know, useful.
I feel like you're trying to reach for some sort of 'gotcha' here, but there isn't one. The parent comment's point is that people should be aware of when they've gotten lucky and be able to engage with the world when that luck finally runs out (or, at least, engage with politics that can realistically preserve some of that luck).
He is certainly an authority on mycology. He has found numerous species, identified mushrooms with antiviral activity for the DoD, created a mushroom-based bee-pest treatment, biological system for killing termites without poison, etc.
The typical Uber driver will serve thousands of passengers. People like your girlfriend drag down every driver's average, but they don't explain why one driver has a 4.8 and another has a 3.5.
From my own observations and talking with lots of residents, plumbers would come unclog at the street level or somewhere inside the lower floors of multi-story buildings. Most people I asked said it happened pretty routinely, sometimes multiple times per month. I'm not sure a plunger would help much for a blockage 20+ meters away.
I take Uber rarely but, of course, the system is setup so that the driver can rate me however they like for whatever reason. As can I them. And it might even be reasonable for them to give me a lower score for a long "loud" conversation or for discussing matters that probably shouldn't be discussed in public which make them uncomfortable.

OTOH, while they can do whatever they want, the expectation seems to be that both driver and rider give top scores barring one or the other doing something that clearly deviates from the norms of taxi driver or passenger behavior.

In any case, I'm pretty confident that I'm normally polite and if someone gives me a lower score now and then on one of these services, I really don't care.
> What social experiences do you feel like you missed out on?

If you're only interested in social experiences then there's all the obvious answers: girlfriends, team memberships, or even just how to discover and talk to other people my age with similar interests. Standing up for myself is hard. Simply talking to people is hard. How to filter the words I say so that people don't take offense to me expressing an opinion.

If you want to expand your question, then also: art, business, chemistry, college, even joining the military required a high school diploma.
I 'm also at 4.88! And has been there for 4 years, never went up or down (at least I haven't noticed it. I don't exactly sweat over it. Only checked when someone asks which is like once per year).

I can imagine 2 things.
1. Actual rating is way lower and uber is hiding it from us.
2. Their system is buggy.

> People deserve to know who they are dealing with interpersonal matters, especially when it deal with matters of public record.

There's no reason your boss, parents, or landlord deserve to know what films you've been in. People use stage names for that reason.

Does one's spouse deserve to know? Probably. But it's your right to disclose or not disclose. No computer program should do it for you.
That's why you should push doors/trunks/hatches closed and not throw/shove/fling them. I don't mean "push", as in close it like your closing the front door after sneaking home after curfew in high school. I mean it more like keep your hand on the door and slowly accelerate until you've given it enough momentum.

What if they responded OK in a real situation? Also it would completely kill your workforce morale. Do you really want to run a fear based organisation?
Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear. I meant, what if the business running the OS and using the device was a dentist? They might only have a handful of PCs in the whole place, but those machines would potentially be used to process medical records, review results of scans from specialist equipment, etc. In that sort of environment, you obviously have a need to deploy security updates straightforwardly, but you also want a lot of stability because your specialist software and/or the interfaces to your specialist equipment might break otherwise, and you certainly can't have computers rebooting whenever they feel like it. The Enterprise LTSC edition might satisfy the stability aspects, but is it even available to organisations like that on a reasonable basis and does it have the ability to deploy security updates easily without tying them up with any other changes you might not need or want?
It would still trigger the fail. Typically the link contains an identifier and the landing page is hosted on a public facing web server.

You are getting really hung up on a very tiny edge case. No reasonable manager would punish you for being physically overpowered. That doesn't mean you should encourage people to ignore the security policy.

99.99% of the time, saying to the tailgater "you need to swipe" is enough. If you do work somewhere where people are physically trying to break in often, then you ought to have real security personnel.

Wikipedia has many lists about nuclear accidents - the "mother" of all those articles might be this one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_nuclear_disasters_and...

It points to other sub-lists and some of them have links to sub-sub-articles that explain what happened in a specific case, for example this one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_and_radiation_accident...

Unluckily not all lists have always a link available to the detailed article, so for example in the case of the SL-1 accident ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SL-1 ) you'll find the link to the details only in this other list:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_military_nuclear_accid...

Reading about the details has always been very interesting for me as I love everything involving cause/effect.

==while the "quarter-intellectuals" that took some low-effort third-rate humanities courses tend to fall victim to Dunning-Kruger more often, and offer simple solutions/explanations to overwhelmingly complex topics.==

Are you sure you don't have some sort of bias here? In my experience humanities study involves lots of critical thinking and reasoning.

Wikipedia [1]:
"The humanities use methods that are primarily critical, or speculative, and have a significant historical element —as distinguished from the mainly empirical approaches of the natural sciences, yet, unlike the sciences, it has no central discipline. The humanities include ancient and modern languages, literature, philosophy, history, human geography, law, politics, religion, and art."

People studying this would seem less likely to rely on simple solutions and fall victim to Dunning-Kruger.

Google ran a test of their employees skills and found that many humanities-based skills are more highly correlated with success than STEM skills [2].

"Project Oxygen shocked everyone by concluding that, among the eight most important qualities of Google’s top employees, STEM expertise comes in dead last. The seven top characteristics of success at Google are all soft skills: being a good coach; communicating and listening well; possessing insights into others (including others different values and points of view); having empathy toward and being supportive of one’s colleagues; being a good critical thinker and problem solver; and being able to make connections across complex ideas."

Filed a police report and provided bank and Amazon with copies of it? (Any written communication with either? Paper trail of provided evidence is kind of important for such things)

That said, it's quite bad handling that bank and Amazon haven't managed to at least shut down future charges / tell you what they need to do so.
But you can report that it happened, taking silent note of their details, demeanor,direction, description. Nobody is challenging little Stacey from accounting to take on an intruder barehanded.
>means they were incompetent //

I thought a central part of this was that there was according to Boeing no need to train on this particular aircraft because it was so close operationally to the 737NG. But that in fact the correct response in the particular situation is vastly different. So yes, kinda "incompetence" but more "ignorant due to Boeing's assertions that training wasn't needed"; ie the blame should not primarily rest on the pilots.(?)

I'm ignorant on the details, but this sort of article seems convincing:

> It’s probably this counterintuitive characteristic, which goes against what has been trained many times in the simulator for unwanted autopilot trim or manual trim runaway, which has confused the pilots of JT610. They learned that holding against the trim stopped the nose down, and then they could take action, like counter-trimming or outright CUTOUT the trim servo. But it didn’t. After a 10 second trim to a 2.5° nose down stabilizer position, the trimming started again despite the Pilots pulling against it. The faulty high AOA signal was still present.

> How should they know that pulling on the Yoke didn’t stop the trim? It was described nowhere; neither in the aircraft’s manual, the AFM, nor in the Pilot’s manual, the FCOM. This has created strong reactions from airlines with the 737 MAX on the flight line and their Pilots. They have learned the NG and the MAX flies the same. They fly them interchangeably during the week.

Never mind the ruinous economic conditions they directly contributed to over the years.

I'm genuinely struggling to empathize with this demographic of voters. They voted in a party that's historically anti-union and loves to slash social programs. On top of that, it's party led by someone with a very apparent history of financial incompetence and corruption.

Flow won't infer types of arbitrary Javascript libraries. It will let you use them as untyped values, just like Typescript does when you set the allowJs option.

(I've used Flow for a long time. I'm starting to transition a large codebase from Flow to Typescript, and I'd highly recommend anyone to just start with Typescript rather than Flow. Flow's type inference isn't all that useful, and causes Flow to be magnitudes slower than Typescript. In a large codebase, it can take Flow tens of seconds to minutes to react to a code change and show you errors or auto-completions in your code after typing in an editor, compared to practically instantaneous updates with Typescript.)

I think the theory kind of relies on the notion that there are certain 'inductive leaps' which are hard for the natural mind to make independently, but this knowledge can then be socially transmitted after induction with relative ease. Ex. "Rubbing sticks together a certain way makes fire" is fairly hard to discover with no a priori knowledge, but if demonstrated the meme propagates quickly.

Whether psychedelics are actually effective at producing 'inductive leaps' is something that is under-researched as a result of legal status. There were some very interesting study results around this from the 60s, but more research is needed (many used subjective measures). How can inductive leaps be quantified? Perhaps some sort of expert-peer-grading?
When did you do it though? That's a key thing. The price of college has changed drastically in the past 20 years.

I experienced the change myself because I dropped out after going to school for two years and went back to school 9 years later to finish my degree.

By the time I got back I was kicking myself for not taking out student loans then and staying in school, because the same education was now more than double the price, and I ended up having to take out loans anyway, and twice as much as I would have before. I'm just about done paying them off, 8 years after I graduated.

Turning it back on is indeed what the EA pilots did after being unable to use the manual trim, if I read the account correctly, the MCAS re-engaged and caused the final plunge. That wasn't on the checklist. But if they'd also engaged the manual trim switches, it would have corrected the nose down.

It's not willy-nilly nor staggering. The EAD (referenced in another post here) indeed talks about using the electric trim to fix the nose down problem, and then cutting off power to the system.
Not just read. There are 23 or so links on that page, roughly one-fourth of which lead to documentation pages, non-obviously. Of course, anything is obvious once you know it, but clearly it isn't obvious enough, or we wouldn't be having this discussion!
