My observation about /r/DoorDash is that nobody there is ever happy.

I first checked it out in 2017, shortly after they implemented the current model. The entire subreddit was a massive open revolt of people complaining that they simply can't survive on what the new model pays them. For the record, I went there because I got curious after I had a string of several dashers who were just awful and couldn't follow basic directions. The impression I got is that everyone on the platform with any intelligence either had quit over the changes or was threatening to, leaving only the people who just don't have the skills to get work anywhere else.

I'd look at it every few months or so after that, and one thing pretty common was that people were suggesting that nobody should tip in the app and that everyone should leave a cash tip because DoorDash steals tips.

When the tipping scandal first hit the news (forcing Instacart to change their policies), I checked it out again, and everyone was talking about how finally the media is calling attention to how awful the tipping situation is and again suggesting that nobody ever tip in the app.

And now this. DoorDash is fixing this policy, and the people there are still upset. /r/DoorDash is simply the single unhappiest subreddit I've ever seen that isn't a politics sub or a straight-up hate sub.

My impression using DoorDash, by the way, is that the situation I mentioned above never resolved itself. I have a tendency to use DoorDash because DashPass actually saves me a lot of money (you pay $10/month and get most of your fees taken off on each order above $15... it usually saves me about $5/order, so it pays for itself after two orders a month), but dealing with the drivers is such a colossal headache that ordering something on DoorDash stresses me out each time. I have never had anywhere near the level of problems with drivers on Uber Eats or GrubHub (or Eat24 before them; I still miss that company) that I have with dashers. DoorDash treats its people so poorly that all the good dashers have long since quit, leaving only people who have a marked inability to follow basic directions or instructions. I've found myself ordering from Uber Eats more and more lately, even though I'm paying more, just because the quality of the drivers is so much higher.
This guy MDMs (and is 100% correct).

Nitpick: It feels really good for most people.

For me, I just feel like crap. I've run a marathon before and done a lot of other types of exercise, but that 'glow' that people report having is not something that I've ever gotten. I don't feel good after a workout or during one; I feel tired, gross, and irratiable.
The claim also appears to extend to everyone who has in their life ever read a library book.
> human drivers...dramatically increases the danger

I know you're putting a gradual transition into context, but I see you say this ^, and my reaction is to suggest that we take human drivers off the road who recklessly endanger others instead of giving them a pass with the vehicular equivalent of "boys will be boys".
I don't mind tipping, but if I'm paying the delivery guy myself, then what the hell is postmates charging me a delivery fee for?

I have no idea what I'm paying for and who gets what. It's confusing. So i've been just tipping 3 bucks.
After the previous tipping drama (Instacart?), and little earlier my discovery that a tip in a hotel restaurant actually doesn't go to waiters, but its taken by the owner, I started to ask workers whether or not they receive the tip in full. So e.g. now I happily tip FreeNow (née MyTaxi) drivers, having two of them confirm to me that they pocket entirety of the tip.
“carbohydrate“ is extremely bad term in nutrition. There is fundamental difference between eating whole food plants like potatoes or drinking sugary drinks. Yet both are formally carbohydrates.
The counter to this is that oftentimes I'm at work and not at my computer so I need access to my email/calendar on a mobile device. This doesn't happen often enough for me to warrant a work phone but happens often enought to where it would be a pain to always go back to my computer to pull that up.

My solution so far has been to just use the outlook web app. Sure it's not as nice as the app but it lets me get to the info I need while also preventing me from having to install any sort of profiles on my device, as an added bonus I do not allow the site to send me notifications so I do not have to worry about being bothered off-hours.

Computer security is fundamentally different, it is not limited by space or time like physical security. My door locks have to protect me from my neighbors, but my crypto keys have to protect me from anyone with an internet connection.

Also, the importance of being able to get away with crime should not be overlooked. It wasn't that long ago that being gay was illegal. And ICE is operating concentration camps this very second.

There's lots of freedom and flexibility in things that are okay:

- Being trustworthy and getting along with workmates is sometimes more valuable than being a favorite / teacher's pet to a manager. You ideally want to be amicable with both.

- Say nice things about your colleagues when they accomplish things

- It's okay during interviews to ask for time to show and tell projects, talk about your experiences. There's no rule written in stone to follow their format to the point you can't showcase strengths directly related to the job description.

Things that you can do that don't help you always:

- Being proactive: Taking responsibility for preventative things when not asked to. I fixed / averted many headaches that have gone totally unacknowledged over the past decade+. Here's the thing: I'd feel dishonest / unprofessional to not be proactive if something is breaking CI loops, typings, etc. It's hard for colleagues / managers to see the value until you wait for it to be a blocker.

This is frustrating to me, because I haven't found the solution to reasoning about it. I don't like the idea of waiting for a problem to rear it's head and all developers are blocked by a problem.

Things to not do:

- Don't bring up any political discussion with colleagues, including outside work. No matter how moderate, harmless you think your viewpoint is. It can only do damage to you, never help.

- Even in unfair situations, e.g. it's untenable and you need to end the relationship, to take the route to ending it amicably as possible. Say you're moving to the next place.

Whenever in doubt / under stress: default to being professional as possible.
One thing I don't like about Gusto is a platform lock-in for new features. We've been a customer since before there were health benefits available (and now have no intent to switch). Things we've been asking about like HSA contributions or prorated benefits were eventually added - but only if you use Gusto's own program. That's annoying...
I make mine, at home not in a sinister lab, from black beans, garlic, onion, bell peppers, bread crumbs, egg, salt, pepper, cumin and olive oil.

I take the onions, peppers and garlic and go put them in a food processors to chop them (oh god, the processing!) to approximately fine dice because I'm usually making them in bulk and don't feel like cutting by hand. If you prefer a thicker cut to the veggies, go ahead and cut with a knife.

I then take that out, and put half of the black beans into the food processor (ahh, terror, horror!) until they reach a paste consistency. I mix the other veggies, spices and remaining black beans into this. I then eggs to bind and bread crumbs as needed to get it to hold shape. If I take it too far, I'll add some olive oil to loosen things up.

These aren't super great on a grill, and I prefer to pan sear or cook them on a griddle (which I find to be the best to get some really great maillard reactions going on for flavor) and top with a slice of cheese and arugula and put it on a bun.

My point is, "burger" is a style preparation, not a specific thing. "Soup" "Sandwich" "Taco" "Breakfast". These are vague shapes, not specific D.S.O.P terms. So is "burger", at least in the US currently.

I'm a former chef my dude. I'm invested and have a lot of opinions on food. You want to fight on the behalf of the beef lobby, that's fine. But this is all about protecting corporate interests from other competing corporate interests. This isn't about protecting consumers. It's Bad Actors fighting Bad Actors.

Don't even get me started on that "organic" nonsense...

> For all intents and purposes, encryption is a unbreakable lock that can serve to perfectly hide valuable criminal evidence.

This doesn't matter. Our rights are not premised on the ultimate physical availability of any given piece of information. There's no "we can always break into the safe" provision of the 4th Amendment.

Fundamentally, the government does not have the right to any piece of your information. A warrant grants them the temporary right to employ certain techniques to try to get it.
I agree that it's dangerous, but I love biking too much not to – usually just as a commuter. I always just assume every driver has either: 1) not seen me and is going to accidentally kill me, or 2) seen me and is going to intentionally try to kill me. Joking aside, if you learn how to assert yourself on the road, take a lane when you need to, and pay attention to what potentially threatening vehicles are up to, I think you can drastically reduce the chances that you are involved in a harmful accident. Always wear a helmet, use really bright lights at night, don't ride on sidewalks, and all that jazz, too.

Hello! Thanks for pointing out that my CV is out of date. You're right that none of my work over the last two years is listed there, and I should probably fix that.

It feels a bit awkward to chime in, but it feels a bit important because I think there's a way in which the narrative is a little off (although I'm very grateful for everyone's kind comments):

Working at Google wasn't a trade off where I got financial support in exchange for not publishing. Rather, working at Google was amazing enabler, which supported me doing work I believed advanced important public interests for five years. That actually includes the blog posts being discussed here, which I wrote while an intern on Brain and received feedback from many researchers there.

To be concrete, some of the things I did while at Google included:

* Writing expository blog posts explaining important ideas in machine learning (eg. this blog post).

* A five year thread of research on neural network interpretability. How humans can understand how neural networks make decisions? (eg. DeepDream, Feature Vis, Lucid, Building Blocks)

* Cofoudning a scientific journal for machine learning that values exposition and allows interactive diagrams.

* Working on early TensorFlow and writing some of the initial tutorials on it.

* Articulating concrete safety concerns about modern machine learning systems, organizing a cross-instutional paper on it, and later representing Google on the Partnership on AI's Safety-Critical AI working group.

* Designing and teaching the introductory course for the Google Brain/AI Residency.

* Miscellaneous ML research, all published in open access venues.

That's basically the majority of what I did at Google. I always felt empowered to work on things that I thought were important for the world, and in many cases felt like had leverage I wouldn't have had individually. I think that was exceptionally generous of Google, and also speaks a lot to the environment Jeff created for those of us on Brain. (I realize Google is a large company, and other people's experience may be very different.)

I do think you're right that the number of short expository blog posts I wrote declined, especially after my first two years at Google. A big part of that is that I focused more on a small number of more ambitious projects (eg. Distill, Building Blocks). Another big part is that I started doing more non-individual work: teaching, mentoring, editing, debugging social issues.

To be clear, I actually left Google last fall. I now work at OpenAI where I lead the new Clarity team, which works neural network interpretability -- basically, can we take a trained neural network and turn it into something like code that a human can understand? Leading a team means that I do even less individual research and writing. Sometimes I miss being an individual contributor, but I think it's the right call. I get to build an environment where others can focus on a kind of research I think is really important for the world and teach and support them.
Sure, you can also destroy evidence! This is already a crime we deal with.
Encrypting and throwing away the key is deleting with more steps - in fact it is often an implementation detail of deletion in some software systems. It is already illegal, and already something our justice system deals with. No power grabs necessary.
More likely transparent opportunism, in my opinion.

Which is also bad and gross.
>I’ve never experienced any kind of full blown audit

I have been through SAM audits. It is a huge pain in the ass. You will spend hours arguing with them over obscure licensing details that equate to tens of thousands of dollars in licensing costs.

For example, in one audit they charged us for Visio licenses because we paid for Pro versions of licenses but the helpdesk had accidentally installed Standard.
This is impressive, but I wonder about the granularity around locales like the Southern United States where sodomy is still considered illegal?

Based on that phrasing, I feel like they could just reword the way they ask for the number. Instead of "Enter your phone number to enable 2FA" it would say "2FA can not be enabled without a phone number associated with your profile" and leave it at that. Then on the profile page where you enter you phone number it just list various "benefits" of giving them your phone number "friends can use it to find you", "faster support times", "ability to enable 2FA". Then they can claim they don't know the reason you added the number was just for 2FA.

> In the end what happens is people use text overlays in the IMAGES in order to reply to each other.

That doesn't sound optimum use of image at all.

> Or you can make the message memorable.

And use image that make it even more memorable at the same time.

Text and images are tools, both can be misused, but that doesn't means that they are bad. Remember SMS text? Works for sure, clearly not optimal, yet text is pretty good to make message memorable.

I can explain in a thousand word an issue on a page, but you can also just share a screenshot. That's an optimum use of images. Sure you could just write "see screenshot #1", "see screenshot #2", etc.. but I'm pretty sure you'll agree that it's not optimum.
I agree with you. The one thing about just muting a thread is that if that is client side, the rest of the thread may still be assuming you are up to date. I think we need a better way to handle group email/text that isn't "shout at the world".

I like this trend of using agency settlements to force organizational changes of companies that have no way of changing the organizational hierarchy

they should get even stricter

force them to relinquish the absolute control of the founder/ceo, enable voting rights and more

investors are undiscerning and exchanges are not creating ultimatums for listing, so these founder privileges are only revoked after they mess up really bad which is cool
Why would precise location data help with winter/rain issues? Is GM planning to maintain hyper detailed maps of the entire country? That doesn't seem like a workable solution.
I'm curious why this is getting flagged. I suppose that it's so contentious that it's generating pointless argument. But it is a remarkable action by the FTC. Especially given concerns after Obama-era privacy initiatives got reversed.
Yes. But I think it's also a trick. He wants us to accept that we have not already had the debate. He and those who think like him will continue to use this line until they get an outcome they like.

And, by the way, we have had the debate--even, arguably, in the midst of a crisis. This was all over the news for weeks after the shooting in San Bernardino when the FBI told us it was vitally important to gain access to the perpetrator's phone. They didn't get their back door. Legislation was proposed that would have required it, but it was never adopted. (Though, in fairness, FBI did supposedly get a private company to break the encryption. But this was only after a very long delay and after all the public debate had largely dies down.)
There _are_ security systems that stream a lower bandwidth zoomed out stream to clients reviewing footage, then sub in the full resolution version of the region being viewed when you zoom in, as a bandwidth savings mechanism - multiple 30Mpx camera feeds are impractical to stream around all the time.

Of course, they automatically substitute this when you zoom, they don't make you click "enhance", that'd be terrible UX.
This isn't going to do anything. It's similar to an SEC fine. All it's going to be is a legal write off for the company.
What really needs to happen is companies need to be broken up or violating privacy without consent needs a criminal penalty.
Strict. But I don't see how monetary fines damage companies this large anymore...
Thinking of this in a proportional sense is the wrong comparison. It's a settlement - therefore it needs to be compared to how much damage a non-settlement was going to cause FB.
Why do we have a carve-out for certain industries and not others? I provide services of a different kind but I don't get tips. Literally all the arguments for tips should be applied to all service jobs, which is most jobs these days. How does it make sense to have them for a small subset of the US economy, especially given numerous other countries don't tip that subset.
The Mueller report wasn't looking for collusion. That's literally the President changing the narrative. The Mueller report was looking into election tampering by a foreign power and it find that the Trump organization had numerous people that broke tons of established laws footing the course of running the campaign, including the President who incited action by a foreign power against a political opponent. How Republicans aren't running screaming from a guy who brags about committing literal treason I don't know. He's not even in line with traditional Republican values, he's not Christian, doesn't hate lgbtq people, has no problem with wasting government money, and hurts cheap labor by trying to close the border. His only real stated goal has been weakening the U.S government. A foreign power couldn't ask for a better mole inside the government.

Cryptography has existed for over 3000 years [1], steganography [2] has been documented in use over 2000 years ago and it's possible it has been used much longer (the entire point is we wouldn't know).

If encryption is being used to hide "valuable criminal evidence", how is that different from someone hiding evidence by burying it somewhere or simply destroying it?

We don't detain random people and force them to give up locations of bodies they may or may not have buried, and we don't randomly search people's houses and posesssions -- and we shouldn't be doing the same for encrypted data (and this includes requiring backdoors). If there is other evidence to believe a particular person committed a crime, then get a warrant that compels them to give up the location of the body or the encryption key. If they refuse, then depending on the other evidence used for the warrant it might make sense to hold them in contempt.

In my mind, decrypting data to prove your innocence (in the face of other evidence) is vastly different than decrypting your data because law enforcement is on a fishing expedition (no other evidence).
