They can't charge riders, but to me that says they can, for instance charge corporations for making rides available to their employees or for their event.

It also doesn't say to me that the safety driver has to be an employee. It could just be rider 0 on any given ride is required to be in the driver seat.

This looks very profitable to me.
I suppose you're right. Before the CoC craze, the open source community just wasn't able to crank out anything of technical value. But since then, things have really taken off, and there's no doubt we can attribute it to the CoC and also the non-technical community members who, more often than not, demanded we carry it.
I doubt very much anyone would consider it informed consent. I doubt 1 in 100 users understand the implications of email image urls or ip geolocation.
I'm glad you brought up the platform distinction because I've also been thinking about that one.

I could deny Alex Jones a soapbox in my yard, because it has little value and there are plenty of others. If there are only two soap boxes in the world and I coordinate with the owner of the other box to silence somebody, then I have become functionally indistinguishable from the government for the purpose of free speech, thereby taking on the same duty they have to not shut it down.
I just learned that they did that to their state constitution as well a few years ago!
My own anecdote is that for 7 months I didn't exercise. My shoulders hurt as I slept on my side and rested my header on my pillow with my arm cradling it underneath.

So you want to give government the unilateral right to determine who merits anonymity. What could possibly go wrong?
So what is the difference between saturation and recession? To me it seems like you're going to invest and pile on until you hit saturation, in which case you have to cut back because the demand isn't there. That cut back is recession (for that market), no?
Did they refuse a warranty repair? They do pitch those tablets at a loss leader price to try and own the low end tablet market.

You can hide the labels in a stock UITabBar, but you can't change its size, and I suspect this is what motivated Facebook and others to hide the labels in the first place.

You are right about the Audible use case, it might actually be using using a stock UITabBar. And in my experience WhatsApp has always been a pretty good platform citizen. It's one the very few icons on my home screen that tries to match Apple's style.

Agreed about a11y, I'm glad that Apple keeps bringing it up as a core feature.
kind of? i think this is more about live replication infrastructure than the video carrier itself. with youtube, you can set up some CDNs, but with livestreaming you need to be continually ingesting and spitting out content at the same time to lots of places in the world at once
They are shifting part of this cost onto sellers with the Transparency program. My company has had a few calls with Transparency reps and will be enrolling in the coming months.
> When I say an entity is conscious, I mean to say it not only has the ability to react to stimuli, but it can also abstractly choose how to react. It can rewire its own reactions, not just in a Pavlovian sense, but it can also develop internal thought frameworks and route its reactions through the frameworks it prefers.

These are just reactions with a memory component. This would include any computers, and so is too broad. I think consciousness will end up being a specific type of information process, with certain properties including those you describe, but it must have more properties and so be more specific than what you outline.
That may be true. But that means it makes much less sense to build “affordable homes”. Even though the home we had built (through a builder) 3 years ago was very reasonably price (Metro Atlanta) at less than 350K, we chose the smallest, cheapest floor plan available and still ended up getting 3100 square feet.
When people say "high performance" about these things, I wonder how they compare, for instance, with the Sandia tools.* One things that matters there is avoiding system noise (jitter) on the monitored systems with transport over RDMA.

Co-mingling allowed Amazon to cut the "real" vendors from the piece of the pie, and make tons of money from having "hundreds" of options (all looking like the original).

Case in point: you couldn't buy an Apple product from Amazon without getting a fake, even though the listing said "Apple".

Why it took this long to get Amazon to be liable bewilders me.
They aren't tedious until you try to do large matrices where you need to use ellipses and other things inside.

Also Latex notation for even simple things like paretheses sucks. \left( and \right) ? wtf? why not just \( and \)? the left and right is redundant. Stuff like that makes it unpleasant to use.
If you've read The Phoenix Project (or haven't yet) I also recommend The Goal. Also a novel, but I think it does a better job of explaining the Theory of Constraints. The Phoenix Project worked better (for me) after reading The Goal, it connects ToC to IT work, but I don't think worked as a good introduction on its own.
The GP means (I think) that this decision effectively forces Amazon to make a decision: either stop permitting third-party sellers or else require third-party sellers to identify themselves (and, implicitly, provide bona fide contact information). The result of the second option is that many third-party sellers on Amazon will be exposed as Chinese sellers who in practice cannot be held accountable.

In both cases, Amazon loses business.
No.

Solid advice. I had fail2ban installed and enabled. SSHD Root/password login turned off and only ssh key had access. My firewall was also airtight, or so I thought. Clearly I mucked up a config or setting somewhere because the odds of someone getting past all that are extremely low. One thing I had not prepared for was IP spoofing which I learned can be prevented with a few net.ipv4.conf tweaks. I also just purchased a static IP from my provider so I can lock down ssh access even further. Here's hoping I never have to deal with this headache again! fingers crossed

"they do pretty crappy job of being a car as good as one that costs half as much"

I would disagree emphatically with this assertion.

The UX in particular seems to have been very thoughtfully considered whereby the few controls that are used frequently get some dedicated buttons and the remainder in the touch screen and/or voice control. The degree of thoughtfulness between Tesla and nearly all other manufacturers is very starkly different.

It’s not about safety. These things don’t actually work yet. They can’t make left turns across traffic, they can’t change lanes in heavy traffic, they can’t handle anything but pristine perfectly mapped roads in good weather during daylight. Any non-standard street feature or road usage is an insurmountable roadblock (literally) to them. Promising that they will save lives and disrupt the economy (how you turn robot taxis into a profitable business hasn’t been explained convincingly for that matter) is a hollow delusion until they can actually navigate from point to point in less than perfect conditions without causing traffic backups or making the passengers carsick.
But why prioritize portability over better functionality at all? Why did you move databases so often?
I don't think Superhuman should have caved to this criticism as quickly as they did. Good that they kept the feature, albeit dumbed down. People pay for a power user email client because it's exactly that - a power user tool, which should be fully featured. If you remove read receipts then there are a whole host of other email clients that will gladly give you that feature (bye-bye revenue). Is someone going to write a Medium post calling out each of these companies too? There is also a bunch of companies that aren't primarily email clients - like CRMs (Pipedrive etc) that offer this feature out the box, as it's exceptionally useful for sales teams.

If there really was such mass hysteria regarding read receipts in emails (WhatsApp has it by default too?) then it should be your email provider that should be leaned on to secure their system. Google has known for a very long time about this, and has changed the loading of images to stop location tracking, presumably the only thing they actually think is controversial with read receipts.
Every new account requires proof of identity to be verified.
Okay one city.

I live in Metro Atlanta, we are still building and growing like crazy, and there is no shortage of tech jobs that pay well considering the cost of living. There are plenty of other relatively affordable cities. If LA doesn’t want to grow. So be it.
> But that's horrific to us only because Jefferson and the colonists won.

No, it's not.

It's not like slavery isn't viewed as a horrific phase of history in the parts of world that were ruled by Britain and are still under either the British monarchy or a now-separate monarchy that happens to share both the same monarch and the same rules of succession, having never revolted against the Crown and either still being British or having peacefully separated while retaining ties to the monarch.
The status quo is you either have to pay someone ~$10/hr to drive for you, or you have to focus and keep both hands on the wheel and actually drive yourself, and it's still pretty dangerous. Self-driving cars could improve on the status quo significantly without actually being less dangerous.
My Ford Fiesta feels like they really half-assed the QA on the steering wheel UX. There are some << and >> buttons on the steering wheel, which work fine for FM radio, but I exclusively use Sirius in the car and instead of going to the previous/next channels like you'd expect, << and >> just go straight to channel 184, and you have to use the center dash buttons to adjust the channel.

If you lived in California through Prop 13 and were honestly paying attention one thing that becomes fairly clear. Property tax revenue is lower than the cost of government services. So there is zero incentive for built up cities to encourage more housing.

Point I'll make. If 'regulation' is what's causing high prices by restricting supply why isn't commercial construction effected? Explain that?

Logarithmic growth monotonically increases to infinity, no?

And I would be highly skeptical that it would ever approach a finite value, I mean, why would it? What is the incentive for politicians to just stop making laws once they reach a certain threshold?

> Projects without a code of conduct are either immature or led by reactionaries.

That seems like a pretty "reactionary" take.

OpenBSD is a mature project with a relatively snooty/picky but not abusive or cruel community. I've found that not only are the people helpful, if you show that you've made an effort to meet them half way; but working of the software itself shows a degree of empathy which is not common elsewhere.

To fj39dkf since I've been rate limited and can't reply:

> "Reactionary" doesn't mean literally "reacting to a problem", it's a political term that comes from the French revolution, referring to monarchists who became organized and motivated as a reaction against the French revolution.

I am aware of the origin of the term in English, I think it still applies. The people who are shoving their rigid CoCs down people's throats are the establishment; it's just that by adopting the symbols of causes which were previously anti-establishment, they've avoided being seen as such.

Being a bit edgy on the internet is an anti-establishment cause, like hacking[0].

Federal legislator being locked has no relationship to state legislators nor the executive branch.

I mean, it's the usual story with these things — "accidentally stored internal data — including other companies' security sensitive data — in a public file share" (or in this case, S3). Not much to learn from the story that we don't already know about IT security. Bottom line, it's bad to trust vendors that are not trustworthy, and this can expose other kinds of lazy/bad practices in your organization.

For a company that had thousands of clients, I didn't think 1TB was an especially large amount of data, all things considered.

Amazon could end up being required to declare the seller’s information to the buyer (at time of purchase!), and required to validate that information using expensive non-trivial practices such as business license lookups and tax form SSN/EIN checks. This court decision implies that liability defaults to Amazon under their current practices, and shifting that liability would need to involve disclosure prior to sale. These are all absolutely market-destroying things - and when you apply them to eBay, which does not provide seller contact information or perform tax validation before the sale occurs, it only worsens in potential impact for businesses profiting off of their enforcement-free approach today.
I didn't expect this, but it's actually everything I would have reasonably wanted from them. Dang!
Not the poster you replied to, but searching OSINT seems to cover this. Open source intel - though a lot of that is actually on Twitter.

If you search on-line you may find both opinions for and against housing regulation. I am totally against regulation but reading that the topic is a surprise is either a blant lie or the opinion of someone who doesn't live in this world and age.

Ignoring the user interface, having a single JS codebase for APIs, business logic and unit tests is pretty darn exciting IMO, especially with typescript support.
That’s a weird conclusion given that the overriding trend of the last 50 years is Europe following the deregulatory approaches pioneered by the US. The 1996 telecom act, for example, was highly influential abroad. Likewise, most Western European countries regulate electricity markets in ways very similar to the US.
Not really. Amazon’s entire supply chain is filled with counterfeits.

There are things other than wpa_supplicant, but wpa_supplicant is just sorta "good enough", everything generally works. It's a different approach.

Note that most cars have a little arrow on the dashboard next to the fuel gauge showing which side the fuel tank is on.
This isn't quite accurate, you need wpa_supplicant for 802.1X authentication aka "WPA Enterprise" (typically only really seen in schools or very corporate environments).

But on OpenBSD thats the only thing it handles, its not an otherwise generic WiFi manager like on linux.
Why are we looking at self-reports instead of outcomes?

If self reports remained constant since 1993 for the most privileged group and dropped for other groups, then all things being equal, outcomes should have dropped on average when you look at the entire population, but when you look at data about actual outcomes, they don't support this:

Put me in the camp that this is not out of the ordinary for what most marketing emails are already doing. Also put me in the camp that it's unacceptable.

My takeaway is that Superhuman is a scuzzy company that I want nothing to do with, but my takeaway is also that Superhuman backing down doesn't really solve the problem. Everybody does this -- and I don't care if Superhuman is worse than everyone else, none of it is acceptable.

An immediate partial solution is for us to push very hard for email providers not to load remote images by default, and (better) for image providers to load remote images one-by-one, rather than in a single batch (which would make it less likely that a user will accidentally turn the tracking pixel on with a single click). An email provider loading images by default should be derided the same way that loading a blog post over HTTP currently is. Have good defaults that protect your users. There should be a swath of email providers on Twitter right now reassuring their customers that tracking pixels won't get loaded by default in their clients.

If you're upset about this, I don't want you to be less upset. But I want you to think about being also upset about stuff like Amp for email, which will make it even easier for companies to pull this crap. I want you to also be upset about email providers that don't turn off images by default, or that don't do any background caching to obscure IP addresses.

There's a large number of obvious improvements to make in this area, and a lot of discussion to be had about non-obvious improvements. If people are only mad at Superhuman, then the overall machine will continue as normal, and all that anger won't actually accomplish much in the long term.

Superhuman is calling this a critical feature, so they're not getting rid of read receipts. My perspective is that their business model is built on a technology that shouldn't work. They're speculating whether there could possibly be a technology to support consent. I couldn't care less about theoretical consent technologies, I want their entire business model to stop existing.
Are companies acting in their interest the problem or is it the system that allows incumbents to lobby and close the doors to new entrants behind them?

I actually learned this when visiting Parliament House last year (though it was part of an off-the-tour side discussion +). Having lived in both countries I think the independence of the US states is radically and fundamentally stronger than that of the Australian states, especially since (and because) income tax was federalised 75 years ago.

The only place I know that even comes close to the US independence of the states is Germany.

A government is an organization that governs. Any organization that polices it's customers/users beyond what the law requires them to is acting as a government. YouTube crossed that line a long time ago. Like home owners associations, YouTube is a government and should be forced by courts to recognize constitutional protections of civil liberties.
The solution to excessive regulation is less regulation, not more. These things tend to backfire.
