In Hasura’s use case it’s a little different. They’re working on the assumption that you have loads of identical queries that you want to run that differ only in the session variables (and hence the rows they see). Because they’re outside Postgres, they can collate it all and execute a single query for multiple users. Within Postgres you don’t have that luxury. It’s a trade off, but not using RLS suits some use cases better.
I believe it was called carpooling and ride sharing both, depending partly on where in the world you were. That’s a pedantic point anyhows; clearly ridesharing does not describe a taxi service like UberX.

The people I see working gig economy jobs seem to come from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, ranging from people with new Teslas to those who look like they are on the margins of society.

With respect to the latter, these are people who I don't see in any other occupation. I assume the reason they work these jobs is that they cannot get traditional jobs which generally have higher barriers-to-entry due to higher guaranteed wages and more benefits.

If gig economy jobs are made to be more like other jobs, then the same barriers to entry are going to emerge.

It's the very low-cost nature of providing these jobs that makes them accessible to those at the lower end of the skill scale.

Th US has actually seen wages for low-skilled workers grow very quickly over the last couple of years and perhaps it is not a coincidence that it has been over the last couple of years when the number of gig economy jobs has grown to become a significant portion of the total job market.

Basic economy theory dictates that increasing the sources of demand for low-skilled labor will increase wages for low-skilled labor. That's why gig economy jobs shouldn't be prohibited.

Stationary distributions (what pagerank is) were used for relevancy of scientific references at least 20 years before the pagerank patent - I was sitting in a lecture in 95 or so about the Perron Frobenius theorem, and this was given as an (old but not very old) example of an application at the time.

It might hard for some to believe, but there are huge portions of the USA where every trip begins and ends in a car.

The layout of many "cities" in the USA literally requires car transport. Residential is clustered with other residential, retail is clustered into strip malls with a vast stretches of asphalt (for parking), office parks are also clustered in low-density arrangements of flex-space (1-story buildings with a truck dock in the back). All of these places are separated not only by distances that can't be covered on foot, but also pedestrian-hostile highways and utter dismissal of public space.

And yes, schools are large and dotted across the landscape. So in addition to getting to work, by car, many families have to juggle transporting their kids to school in one direction, then go a completely different direction to get to work, repeat the process in the afternoon, and go in other directions for shopping, groceries, and other "third places".
> there was no point in making a game addictive.

This is what you are missing, they were already addictive, it was only not a wide spread thing because games in general didn't had mass appeal back then, it was a niche thing that could be ignored by the broader population.

There's a quasi-infinite amount of stories of people becoming addicted to playing StarCraft Broodwar, and that game came in 1998, same with Quake, Counter Strike, Age of Empires.

Yes, it is true that said games have become multiplied, but said games are simply filling what people ask for.... As I stated in my previous comment, people want this, they want the addictive parts of said games, and Capitalism will always be happy to provide...

Also, what you mention of "games that can be played once or twice", I think that you are seriously misunderstanding the situation, Go has been played for thousands of years, same with Chess, compact self contained games with campaigns are actually something quite modern, the standard has been for games to be multiplayer.

The games that usually destroy people's lives are those that have social or competitive roots, and it is because we as humans are intrinsically tied to our relations, ego, personal achievement, etc. "Addictive games" are not something external to the individual, but they use the individual itself.

Lastly, the very reason why StarCraft, Age of Empires, Counter Strike/Half Life, Quake all sold so well early on is exactly because they were addictive/enjoyable. Had they not been then they wouldnt have

Quick question to all HN's; Is Dark Souls "Addictive"?
What does it look for?

If it rises an alarm seeing any 3rd party domain that would be trivial and not enough.

It would than have to dig for a data processing agreement in the terms+conditions. This can only happen once domain and company name have been correlated.

You’d need to define what you mean by a FAANG company. Do you literally mean the aforementioned companies? In that case they can work around it if it’s one of their smaller companies like Instagram or WhatsApp. If you forbid usage if the _parent company_ is FAANG then they can work around it by making a totally separate company whose only job is to provide a service (using your software) to FAANG at no markup. If you mean a company of certain size, then it could have collateral damage on big but not malicious companies, and can again be worked around by sharding usage of your software to smaller companies to stay under the size threshold.

Don't judge them too harshly. They may have done much better than what their parents managed in turn, and not too long ago food and shelter was all that people had time for.

I think the slowly most businesses would realize if you are a big company, it makes much more sense to capture exclusively the high end market (iPhone) and try to stay as much away as possible from the low end market. This gives you a lion's share of the profits, while making sure you don't get labelled a monopoly (and people asking you to make your platform open). This is the exact model of Apple. iPhones dominate the high end market, and the high price ensures both a.) high capture of the profit. b.) less market share due to simply being out of reach for a lot of people.

Once you are in the above position, you can do anything on your platform, and since you aren't a monopoly, you have much more leeway than your competitors. Your competitor might be forced to unbundle and compromise the uniformity of their platform, while you can simply choose to not even allow alternative browsers, because you know, you aren't a monopoly. Getting the low end market share might be come to seen as more of a headache than required.

For me, the benefits of Truecaller outweigh the negatives. It was a step towards my phone being useable again for the purpose of making and receiving calls (at times I seem to get flurries of spam calls so it is great being able to simple ignore).

For the last 18 months my phone is on silent, no vibration, so I am completely oblivious to whether someone is contacting me. When I check my phone I catch up with any missed activity. It is hard to explain just how much better it is to operate this way.
I'm sorry, but people with real expertise view everything as a complicated engineering trade off that's highly dependent on context.

Agriculture is also more intensive than hunting / gathering, supporting more humans per area. When the two conflicted, the agriculturalists won by strength of numbers.

Generally, more intensive civilizations outcompete less intensive ones, even though the average individual may be worse off in that society.
I ride the bike all year around, except for some times in the summer precisely because the subways tend to be full in winter.

My commute takes 17min by bike and 26 by subway, due to the stops, during rush hour. The same journey takes well over 50 min with car during that time.

i don’t take the bike over the subway because the subway is bad I take it because it is the fastest way to get there.
> I hope it’s different in Norway and that they also have public transport that can compete with cars.

I know several people living in Oslo even with 3 kids not needing a car. But on the other hand this is only true for Oslo in Norway. Every other city/town public transport sucks. Cars are a must in all other cities.

> life was hardship and adversity

Life was certainly hard in ways that it is not now, but it was definitely hard in the precise ways that we evolved to cope with.

You had to worry a lot about obtaining food and shelter, and protecting yourself from predators and enemy tribes. You also had vast amounts of time for playing, contemplating, dancing, cooking, having sex, drinking some of the weird concoctions made by the local shaman that made you see things differently. All of this.

I am not sure I would be able to forego antibiotics, anesthesia and modern medicine in general, but for those not assuming this, I wonder how nice or lives of 24/7 stress and isolation would look like to our more primitive ancestors.

Our lives are potentially longer, but are they more worth living? I'm not pretending to have an answer, but I do think the question is valid.
Humans don't have a central clock therefore this is a meaningless question. Even if your neurons only fire 100 times per second they can be interleaved. Therefore two neurons firing at that speed could be offset by half a clock cycle and therefore the global clock rate is 200Hz. As you add more neurons the global clock rate rises. Therefore the clockrate is anywhere between 100Hz to 10THz depending on how you count it.
Degrowth has never been in the same "political tent" as "communism" (by which I assume you mean Marx/Engels-based socialism?)

The idea that human well-being is central, while nature is just a resource used to achieve abundance is completely opposite to the philosophy of the degrowth movement.

Why all these new languages? No one really wants to learn yet another language.

The big 4 public dapp blockchains use C++, Solidity and JavaScript. I can't imagine C++ and Solidity is okay. IOST went with JavaScript and the V8 engine for it's smart contracts. That seems the most reasonable as they can leverage a massive amount of JavaScript code.

Will be interesting once people realize they have a way to monetize webapps with a browser extension/wallet. Just think about all the web based JavaScript games that died because no way to monetize. Someone should be porting those over.

Plus, it took IOST only 8 weeks to passed up ETH in total number of blockchain transactions. ETH was launched back in June 2015. IOST has a fast ass blockchain.
Just because somethin has a benefit to the consumer does not mean we should keep it a viable business model, otherwise we should also allow slave labor. Moreover, while there might be an immediate benefit to consumers, as the article notes it might as well be detrimental overall, because it increases costs for everyone. The only people who are really benefiting are the large shareholders.
Having used both for years, I’d probably recommend DO. None of the big security issues, but also I’ve found more downtime with Linode, don’t know if they’re upgrading their infrastructure a lot for some reason.
Do not use DO. The very fact that their default automated response to spam is prod downtime is unacceptable.

It requires so many failures in understanding the service being provided across the company for this decision making process to have ever actualized that there is no reasonable expectation of safety or trust from DO at this point.
> In Europe we had all the large cities before cars. And curtailing car usage doesn't lock out individual travel. You still have public transport, bicicles and such.

First of all, public transport is not individual travel. Neither the times nor the locations nor the cost are under your control. Bicycles are individual travel, and that is why they are so relevant in modern cities, but they are neither weather-independent, nor barrier-free, nor do they provide the same utility as a car.
Funnliy enough, they seem to evolve pretty much the same way cars did here in Europe by getting ever larger and more capable.

I would not be surprised if bicycles would be the next piece of individual travel that's becoming unfashionable. IMO the problem cities have with cars is not the pollution, it's the individuality that they cannot deal with. Everything individual tends to become problematic with a high enough population density. Today's 2sqm parking lot might be tomorrow's 0.5sqm bicycle stand or next week's 10sqm individual bathroom. If there shall ever be an acceptable degree of individual space consumption in a city, that city needs to define a limit on population density. Somehow I doubt that any city will ever do that, though.
No, I'm saying they were pushing web standards because it helped the business they run. It happened to help the rest of the web too which is nice.
IOST uses the V8 JavaScript engine to execute it's smart contracts. Seems like a no brainer given the massive amount of existing JavaScript code, tools, and coders.

> Families would perhaps have one car instead of three

That's cute. No, most families would own NO cars, like most families don't own an helicopter these days.

P.S.: I'm pretty sure that's already/still true today, if you consider the world rather than the richest countries.

P.P.S: And I'm pretty sure that it's only in USA that the idea of most families having three cars wouldn't be considered outrageous.
They'll do that right as soon as you are required, by law, to use their services no matter the price.
There is something funny about the way this article portrays early brain development.

Ask families with relatives in lean world countries who visit those countries often and they will tell you that those kids mature far more quickly than the kids here. And they see it as a positive impact. And lament how children in America do not mature as quickly. Foreign kids who come here to study do better than the kids who are from here.

Yet adversity in the article is portrayed negatively. And further, faster brain development is portrayed negatively. Then early puberty is portrayed negatively. And it is all tied together with the statement that there is more depression, anxiety and psychosis.

Mind you but those traumatic experiences become so when you are taken from a world of high stress where everyone grows up like you do to a world more relaxed where people are different from you.

Think PTSD soldiers finding it difficult to live at home. But ok to live back in war country. Think martial arts training you to be defensive and then going back to a world with only peace.

It is not the high stress that causes the trauma but rather how different life becomes when you change gears back to peace.

The idea sure was brilliant at the time. But I really doubt that we (as a society) have gained anything by allowing this to be protected. It might have prevented some healthy competition. Certainly anyone thinking about search engines (once this became a thing) would have thought of this. And I doubt that nobody would have bothered to create a search engine just because it couldn't be patented.
Why pay to develop some other company's product when you can just develop it yourself? Nobody would do that.

Also when Chrome was released IE still had a 60% market share. You can't ignore that.
Every once and then I remember that you can actually patent algorithms. Terror ensues, and a general feeling of frustration and helplesness. Then I try to forget this fact slowly, just to be able to continue living in this crazy world.

As a mathematician, i see algorithms as examples of theorems, and the idea to "patent" a theorem, a mathematical truth, is so foreign!
That's an issue I experience as well. What some cities try to sell as bike infrastructure is a joke. Wher I live in Vienna there's bike lanes BETWEEN two lanes of cars (at least two lanes going in the same direction) with no physical separation between car and bike lane. How this madness ever came into being is beyond me.
Most of those stories are from 2016. Technology improves over time.

The methaphor is good. It clearly shows why wiretaping the public on the square is unreasonable.
I've been thinking about this a lot. In terms of political economy, there's a lot of reliance on the ideas of information, free will and rationality.

To cut a long story short, if people have information about the market, they can use their knowledge of their own desires to act, which creates some sort of efficiency. Glossing over a load of stuff here because it's a large subject, but that's sort of the spiel you get when people are talking about all sorts of political/economic decisions. And you can generate both leftie and rightie policies depending on how you think about things.

The problem is if deciding things depends on free will and information, what do we do when it seems there are exceptions? I'll leave aside information problems since we're more talking about rationality.

But if it turns out people can know what WoW does to your studies, and they still end up doing this, how should we think about this? Easy answer is that their real desire is to play WoW all day, but that doesn't seem very satisfying. If they're making an irrational decision, that has other consequences on our society.

For instance, a whole load of behaviours need to be controlled. Obvious things like smoking and drugs, but what about overeating? Too much soda? Social media? And what exactly is the correct policy response to irrational behaviour? Keep in mind solutions like taxes/subsidies also rely on rationality.
> I'm not sure I'll have as much clout as Nicolas here to get your attention.

Maybe keeping a twitter (and other social media) account with at least a certain number of follower should be considered a part of a company's security strategy? You'd also need to post something interesting periodically, to keep your follower, so that you have their attention when you need it.
