> I apologize for my misleading post, my experience is based on living in multiple major and / or university cities in southwestern Germany, 3-10 days visits to smaller and larger towns all across Europe and frequent visits to Switzerland.

In my experience (I'm from the West), the southern cities in Germany have better public infrastructure compared to what I lovingly call the German Rust Belt. I have been to Hamburg and Berlin for work, where using public transport was a lot easier as well, but those cities are not comparable in size.

> From what you describe, I would consider the public transportation system in the city you lived in edge-case average for a 350k city, but certainly not optimal.

It is decent for folks living close to any type of train, as a lot of my friends do who are still in college. Car sharing did not exist when I left, that might have changed. But even if it does, the problem of the famous last mile pertains - if the area where I live is too much of an edge case for any type of public transport, it is hard to profitably provide supply. Here, I can at least get an Uber in fairly remote locations (as the car picks me up wherever I am, albeit for a premium).

> However, a 3 mile distance to the city center (where the train station appears to be) is easily covered by bike.

Not in a suit or when it rains, not to mention medical conditions. However, I agree, that is a good point.

> But you do not visit you friend daily, so why would you need to own a car for that? Even if you visit him weekly, car sharing might be enough, and less overhead.

Yes, that is a good perspective on it. However, this serves as an example - in that region, a lot of the interesting places are fairly spread out, often across cities. This quickly becomes a view of opportunity cost and convenience. As long as public transport doesn't offer enough incentives - reliability, flexibility, quality, and price - I am personally very willing to invest the money for a car, as I generally value time and convince more than money.

Doing anything on PT often proves challenging. I personally cannot read or work on a bus (get horrible car sickness), but I know other people can manage just fine. On a train, it depends on the availability of seating and WiFi - which, in my experience, is a huge gamble. If those were true, see above, one could justify the extra time invested.

But to your point here, yes, need becomes a subjective term in that regard.
Yes, indeed. Lot's of connectors to non-GMP stuff:

Apple reportedly exploring acqui-hire of self-driving startup Drive.ai
To clarify the question without trying to answer it myself, restated in terms of Amazon rather than the less-understood Square Store, here are two similar questions that may have different answers under the Square terms update:

Does the AGPL specify its terms of infection such that “a third-party seller listing a physical CD full of AGPL software sold on Amazon” would bind Amazon by the terms of AGPL source code release for Amazon.com?

Does the AGPL specify its terms of infection such that “a third-party seller publishing CD listings to Amazon using an AGPL script” would bind Amazon by the terms of AGPL source code release for Amazon.com?

And so in those terms, the core question of this thread is, “may I sell items and services on Square that are composed of AGPL code as long as I do not use AGPL-containing or AGPL-integrated code or content when interacting with or publishing listings on the Square Store or when interacting in any way with Square services or APIs?”.
> The approach in the OP seems to conflate these two types of state.

Nope, I'm just saying that continuations and REST are orthogonal.
The question is whether it will be economical for your standard Uber driver to own electric cars by 2026. Otherwise the number of people able to make money on the side p/t with their personal vehicle will be far smaller - therefore increasing the cost of fares if demand is higher than the supply of vehicles available.

‘Surge’ pricing already exists for this reason. Which will be good for electric car owners and Uber, bad for the average consumer rider who will pay higher fees and drivers who can’t afford an electric vehicle will be out of work.
I used the hp workstation configurator for their highest priced tier and added 28c Xeon and ram and single v100 and it came out at 56k. I assume the Vega II duo x2 at 28 tflop will be similar to 4x v100 each at 9k so going from there it’s already at 84k.

i have pretty severe adhd which causes a somewhat difficult situation where i need to keep todo lists to remain on track for even basic stuff, and the system needs to be pretty foolproof because, you know, the adhd

i dream of doing something really fancy, but i always come back to the same trio of tools:

-every morning i grab a few sheets of paper and keep them folded up in my pocket, to jot things down when needed. this covers my irl day-to-day pretty well

-for the virtual stuff i use simplenote because it's got apps on every platform i use, and failing that there's a webclient which is nice in the event i am on a computer that isn't mine.

-i really, really wanted to get a nice taskwarrior setup going, but i found that getting the server up for sync purposes to be overly complex. after alot of searching and trying-outs and whatnot the setup that remains due to its ease and portability is a little thing called dstask, which uses a private github repo as its base. setup is as simple as a 'git clone .my/repo' and a 'npm i dstask', and running the sync command updates the repo in a way that i -wish- hub's 'hub sync' command would operate.

with the speed of computing these days, i reformat and reinstall my os maybe once a week or so because it's literally faster than trying to un-break something when i manage to mangle something up. so this is a super easy thing to have to constantly re-deploy because git and npm are, naturally, some of the first things that get installed on a fresh setup

so that's how i manage to be somewhat functional and independent in my short-term type stuff. for longer projects and just to keep up the habit, i keep a pretty large amount of notebooks around, because i am prone to forgetting to grab one so my solution was to have so many that there is now one or two at just about any place i am at routinely. i have a sort of system to keep track of what i guess i would call this 'distributed notebook' but it would probably drive you insane in a sort of lovecraftian way if you tried to make sense of the clusterfuck method - like if i refer to something in another notebook i draw an arrow and depending on the orientation i know what other notebook i am referring to, because the arrow points to its physical direction relative to wherever it is i am writing.

Yeah, the strange half-transition to metric in the UK is really odd. I'm from Australia, another Commonwealth country, and we're -entirely- metric here. The only thing I can think of is that people still talk about height of people in feet and inches, but on official forms it's in centimetres.

I wonder why the UK couldn't quite make the jump over?

At least the US has agreed that the Moon is a metric only zone! https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2007/0...

I use my commutes as a way to get some hill repeat intervals in and in the summer that means i’m covered in sweat.

There are no showers at work, so i do a couple of things to keep clean.

* Showering before you leave so that the sweat doesn’t smell.
* Chilling our after the ride for a bit to let your heart rate drop back down. This gets you to a point where you aren’t sweating anymore.
* Towel off the excess sweat and put on fresh clothes.

The only real downside is my helmet messes up my hair.

> Hell awaits you.

From a developer point of view, maybe. From a user point of view it’s a quite reliable and well known mechanism to sync between platforms. Dropbox is already what I personally use to manage my documents between all my devices, it’s part of my various workflows. I personally don’t want to add other syncing mechanisms if I can avoid as that forces me to create/manage an additional account and give my trust to an additional platform.

Of course I may be an outlier but I don’t think that’s the case, Dropbox is well established. Inkdrop looks really, really nice and I might be a user of such a tool, but only for the editing and categorizing part but if I cannot disable the syncing using your backend that’s a blocker for me.

Anyway, congrats for the work that you’ve done, I hope you will change your mind at some point :)
Simplest way to make this work would be to gate new driver signup by vehicle type (with verification). If they are under 40% EVs then they wouldn't allow new non-EV drivers to sign up for the service at all.

Also, they'd likely want to pay EV drivers more, to create the correct incentives to get enough EV vehicles into their "fleet".
I understand continuations perfectly. It is exactly the "capturing all of the state relevant to the session" which is problematic. Implicitly grabbing your application's state – including the context of what code is executing, and all in-scope variable bindings, which is the only "state" in a purely functional server such as you surmised earlier – and wrapping it into an opaque blob to pass to a client is exactly what I mean by "hiding state". Failing to identify and define exactly what is the relevant state with which clients should interact is exactly what leads to issues with upgrades, scalability, and security.

I'd have no problem with this technique if, instead of an arbitrary call/cc or what-have-you, the developer had to explicitly name the continuation, and specify and name which bits of state are relevant. This definition could then form the basis of a well-defined public-facing interface, for which application tooling could ensure smooth upgrades, for which security properties could be easily demonstrated, and for which more stringent persistence rules than heuristic-based garbage collection could be defined.
It's not pro at all.

This is a homer car made of money.

I've always wondered if this was the initial point of Bitcoin (making miner harder and harder) how could Satoshi not have foreseen this was would be the inevitable result?

I've read several articles about the power consumption of these mines and it's jaw dropping:

Of course, by the end of 2017, the players who were pouring into the basin weren’t interested in building 5-megawatt mines. According to Carlson, mining has now reached the stage where the minimum size for a new commercial mine, given the high levels of difficulty, will soon be 50 megawatts, enough for around 22,000 homes and bigger than one of Amazon Web Services’ immense data centers.

I see what you're saying but it's already a problem for them. 100% of videos coming onto the platform will be . Instead, the discussion we're having is where they should draw the line on what gets removed. Is it videos that break the law? Or videos that they deem inappropriate? We can vote to change the law, we can't vote to change their policies. Users can go to a new platform but there is nothing close to an equivalent competitor. (Name me one popular, full time content creator who did it without YouTube)

I don't like the sound of government interference at all, trust me. However when people are being silenced and demonetized because they hold political views that YouTube doesn't like I feel that it's necessary in order to uphold the users constitutional rights. Many experts have speculated that YouTube operates at a loss - is it fair that they gain market dominance this way and then flex their power to remove ideas they don't like?

> Do you think it would be dramatically improved if Haskell had a bigger community of people contributing user-friendly libraries and tutorials? That was something that made Ruby the perfect newbie language for me. And something I feel is downplayed in Haskell given it's more advanced user base who is a little too obsessed with it's power and demonstrating their knowledge as such, rather than help make it accessible to others.

Absolutely. I think it's been getting better at that on the tutorial front. For a long time there were very few books I'd actually recommend for haskell, but Haskell Programming from First Principles [1] changed that for me (personally). And I think Stephen Diehl's excellent What I Wish I Knew When Learning Haskell [2] is a fantastic general resource for newbies. But I think the community could stand to have more of this, absolutely.

And I definitely agree about libraries. I'd like to see more haskell libraries with extended tutorials, and written w/ a non-expert audience in mind. I think the community has for so long been dominated by long-time haskell developers and people ensconced in functional programming, much of the documentation is written for those kinds of people.

Yes mostly related to advertising in some way which is their core business (besides 510). I think OP wasn't remarking about the financial success of the company as a part of Google, but the absorbing by Google of former SAAS companies and finally dropping their original paying customers.

We are a Looker customer and are concerned. It seems Google is one of the only companies that can buy a SAAS enterprise product that people are paying a lot of money for, and eventually drop enterprise customers for the free* model. Hundreds of millions or even low billions of revenue isn't interesting to them it seems.
