This isn't a computer. There is more to buying a car than a single spec.

Mercedes is a fantastic brand. The interior is premium and luxurious. You don't have to worry about service, support or the company going bankrupt. And it overall is a really well designed car.
It isn't 1982 anymore, taxi businesses and regions have apps now. Uber's value add is their pool of drivers' reach.
I don't know if it's still available, but a few years ago I bought all 17 games in the C&C series for $5 on Amazon. Downloadable, not CD/DVD, but it works. Some of the games crash occasionally on Windows10, but C&C:Generals runs very well on an Intel NUC with Win10.

While it's nice you're agreeing with me, I did not suggest it as a way to improve your career, and my advice stands even if it has no chance of helping your career.
Good to see. There is still the issue of double taxation.
I don't know of any other industries that have normalized masochistic crunch to anywhere near the degree that most of the game industry has, and I've worked in some pretty freaking crunchy sausage factories. The game industry really takes it to the next level, in part because it's an employer's market- a lot more people love the idea of being a game dev than there are game dev positions available, so high turnover rates are actually sustainable for much of the game industry, leading to some horrific practices.

If there are other industries that are up there with the game industry in terms of extreme crunch, I'd be very curious to hear about them. I don't doubt they exist, I just am not aware of them. There's also nightmares like 996 schedules in China, but I've heard that in many cases that's more pretend crunch for show than actual crunch. In some ways 996 is even lamer because it's so pointless and dystopian, but I bet many game devs would be jealous of people who only have to work 72 hours a week and only have to pretend to work for some of that time.
Grantparent poster here. Hrm, you're right, I remember purchasing keys 'lighter' than browns, possibly silvers. They're very light, but I'd probably prefer 'too light' over 'too heavy'.

Savings being equal to investment isn't a material fact, it's an assumption built into some macroeconomic models. In order for savings to turn into an asset that increases production capacity (which is what we hope it's for), someone has to spend the money on building a new asset (or improving an existing one).

In particular, asset inflation (price of land or stock going up) doesn't increase productive capacity in any material sense.

And, that's what's worrying. How do we measure increase in productive capacity without assuming savings = investment? Also, the consumer price index doesn't measure inflation of assets owned by businesses. Are we assuming the market is efficient at pricing investments when it's actually just inflating?

It seems like this is something economists are likely to worry about. Is there a literature on this?
> as he[sic] observes all of them have learned that in order to pursue these goals unmolested they have to put on the cloak of being less privileged than those around them.

This isn't really the issue. The issue is not that they are pretending, it is that they are forgetting that they are pretending.

I made my way through GoldenEye on 00 Agent this way. I am not sure how else it could be beaten.
People that want to stop drunk driving would disagree. Taxis are way to unreliable in the vast majority of US cities to be used as transport to/from a dinner with drinks.
Melbourne CBD is a bit of an anomaly as you have a super high concentration of Asian students in one area. Hence the growth of Easi.

But everywhere else Uber is still by far the leader. Foodora couldn't compete. Deliveroo is struggling and Menulog isn't really competitive given lack of marketing spend.
It sounds interesting.
I always heard that telegram encryption was disabled by default. If you want security use signal, if you wants stickers and the like, use telegram.
A guess: it increases usage. Uber has to maintain a two-sided network, and this eg gives their drivers something to do during mid-day lulls.
Maybe, but that's above their rated specs.
P100d starts out with 500 hp but also weighs nearly 5000 lbs. By 80mph back EMF has probably taken power down to about 300hp.

Essentially, at highway speeds, telsas are slower than the average pickup truck. Not as impressive as the 0-60 times
No diagnosis, but I did receive some exercises from a physical-therapist which helped significantly.

On a bad day I could barely hold a cup of tea with the affected arm. Now I just have a tense muscle now and again.
Next time try selecting nearer restaurants. Their delivery fee is lower and they arrive quicker and in a better state.

If there are none then there isn't much you can do, you have to trade off freshly cooked food for the convenience of having it delivered to you

Menulog seems to be getting creamed here too. At this point I'd say it's UberEats' race to lose.
Sure, shareholders should benefit in cases where too much money is coming in. However, isn’t the problem that the “money coming in” in this case is debt, not profit?
> I'd also like to see a law passed that requires each product to mention on its packaging if its ingredients (even just their relative proportions) have changed. This would apply to things like foods/drinks and also cleaning products.

Ridiculous proposition.

Formulations change pretty much constantly for various reasons (ingredients become more expensive, or you change suppliers, or you decide to adjust something to make the product better or cheaper or both), and adding bureaucratic friction as well as packaging redesign is completely impractical. Packaging can take several weeks if not month to produce and you would have to constantly throw them away with this kind of rule. Wasteful.
Looks like a fine service, but as a matter of policy I (and many of my peers) do not partner with crypto services that do not list basic company details on their website. For new services, I'm looking for specific names of founders, location, mission statement/values etc.
I’m that ‘deadline bring me creative juice’ type of person. I’d say it kind of work to certain degree from my experience — good solution popup out of nowhere, maybe because like you said, I am very focused on that work alone, and nothing else.

It obviously doesn’t sustainable though, both your work and health. It get a job done, but I know that it lack finesse quality, also all that stress definitely shorten my lifespan.
When I was in college (almost 20 years ago), I was studying music (piano and electronic music/synthesis) which involved many hours at both a piano keyboard and computer keyboard. In my junior year I had intense pain in my wrists and had to ask my CS profs and music profs for extra time to complete assignments. They obliged, and it took about a year of visiting several PTs, doctors and finally a body worker trained in PT to resolve it. She knew that my pain was "referred" pain from nerve issues in my arms and torso (caused of course by bad ergonomics). The wrists were not damaged, only "feeling" the pain from nerves further up the arms that had become constricted. Through simple stretches and good desk ergonomics I have been pain free since.

I highly recommend the book "Comfort at Your Computer: Body Awareness Training for Pain-Free Computer Use" by Paul Linden. Also "The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook" for info on referred pain and self massage techniques to help alleviate it.
Sad thing is that is harder to find documentation for smalltalk thant for javascript.

I was very intersted in smalltalk at first but I had a very hard time to find somehing above the Transcript object example.

Heck even glamourous toolkit doesn't have it's documentation on its website either while I could found Quark's api doc right away.That's sad.
The real problem isn't the level design, it's that the enemy AI in such games is not smart enough and as a result can be defeated by simple tactics.
At the risk of sounding like an alarmist, I’m starting to suspect Uber will be the Bear Sterns that goes under and kicks off our next recession. I’m not certain our economy & social safety nets could absorb the sudden unemployment of a large portion of the gig economy.
I mean the protocol is documented enough to create an implementation of it from scratch - that meets the metric of open.

I suspect there is enough implementation there to write a server implementation too, at least a simple one.

Isn't it possible that the sole reason that this market niche exist is because of competitive prices?

Maybe Uber is killing the market it is trying to monopolize and by the time it gets it all, the pricing it will have to practice to actually make it profitable will drive customers back to eating in person in the restaurant
I have pair programmed off and on, both in person and remote; yes it helps because you are typing less, but sometimes you end up being the driver for long sessions so it is not perfect.
There could still be “surge” pricing though, as long as the company paid the employee-drivers overtime. So perhaps drivers who are “off” could be incentivized to drive during the additional demand.
Adding to that, there's special regulations for almost anything. Hotels, work sites, warehouses. The national fire code is quite a tome, and usually local rules are added on top
Yea, this is something that's always impressed me about this US. In other countries, I have to pull up a calculator app on my phone, and calculate the price per kg for various packaging sizes, to figure out which one is the best deal. It's almost as though store labels in the US are designed with the discerning consumer in mind...
The trick? They tell to fuck off and file a lawsuit if they want to audit. They back off. Unless the former employee has actual proof other than a statement they won't bother.

Whoops!

I did say I was imprecise, though (;
Here in Singapore, I'm not aware of anyone who uses a car for delivering food. (we don't have Uber Eats cos they couldn't penetrate the market here)

Grab, Food Panda, Deliveroo, and a couple of others I cant think of, all use Bikes, Motorbikes, and e-Scooters.

The model works really well here because majority of deliveries are short distance to apartment blocks.

I can't imagine it working for long distances though. You would end up with cold food, long wait times, and it wouldn't be very environmentally friendly.
Some of Ken Liu's stories in The Paper Menagerie filled that gap for me. They are fabulous in their own right, though, maybe a lot more "dream"-like.

The third answer is that debt is risky. Economy crashes? You're toast. Stock market crashes? You're toast.

The first rule of investment/saving is to nuke your debts. Stocks are, effectively, debts. This makes complete sense to me. It's a conservative (the unpolitical kind) approach.

UN climate change 2019 report recommends to reduce meat consumption
In-depth Q&A: The IPCC’s special report on climate change and land
The central theme of this article does not appear to be well supported by the data presented. I interpret the scatter plot a bit differently they did:

1) The average amount of corporate borrowing as a share of total assets appears remarkably consistent over the last 66 years.

2) The average amount of capital expenditures as a share of total assets appears to be have been declining at a roughly consistent rate for 66 years.

3) The data does not appear to support any firm conclusions regarding changes to the correlation between capital expenditures and borrowing, which was the main topic of the article. The slopes of those regression lines are highly suspect given the amount of data and the outliers in later years. Certainly, there is nothing in the presented data suggesting a change over the last 17 years, much less the last 2 years.

It would have been nice to see some of the raw data or the statistical analysis, but clearly that is for a different audience than what they were targeting.
Disputing your statement...

The 911 was first produced in 1963 with an air-cooled flat 6 engine mounted aft of the rear axle.

The 3 series, first produced in 1975, is a front-engine car with a water-cooled straight-4 and -6 (most commonly) water-cooled engine mounted in front.

So the first 911 was made twelve years before the first 3 series, is structured completely differently and has completely different engine technology.

The Model 3 was released 2-3 years before the Taycan is expected out, and has essentially the same layout: floor battery with front and rear electric motors mounted in about the same spots. They both have four doors with the same deep swoop down of the roof over the rear seats, flattened hoods that dip below the line of the fenders, etc.

The Taycan looks more like a Model 3 than any other electric car around, and since the Model 3 came first, it's reasonable to describe the Taycan in Model 3 terms.

It's a good design, functionally and aesthetically, and I'm certainly not faulting Porsche for these design choices. I've owned a 911 before and I've always appreciated Porsches - they have made many great cars, and the Taycan might well be another one. I hope that it is. But it does look a lot like a Model 3.
Yeah, it's cheap to attack BCH but there's little benefit to doing so. Whether that makes BCH safe to trade or a reckless shitcoin is a matter of opinion.

Viewed from one bottom, the quality of toilet paper is of intense interest. Viewed across many bottoms it becomes less about how peachy soft the Charmian is and more about the effect in the balance of payments importing bumwad instead of making your own from local splinters in a pulp mill employing people.

CPI has to bridge both cheeks: it has to reflect what one person can relate to and what entire nations actually do.
i think it could be done securely by transmitting the key material via a secure channel directly from the phone to the browser or transmit messages directly encrypted with the probably ephemeral key used for this secure channel. The secure channel could actually be build upon the the QR code you would give the app on your phone. No idea what is actually done though, just saying it could or should ^^

WhatsApp would of course still serve the whole browser application and could do whatever they intend to including leaking key material back home :) Not to mention that even if you opt to trust them not to do something shady or stupid like this you still have to trust DNS, certificate authorities, BGP routing policies, browser and platform security and likely a bunch of other stuff :P
It is pretty crazy that the world has not taken greater notice. Cutting off a large population completely and then changing their constitutional status is pretty inhumane treatment and will just make matters worse in the subcontinent. I hope all major democracies and the United Nations forces India to end the communications blockade and undo the changes.
You’re kind of illustrating GP’s point. Throwing paint on a fashionista wearing fur poses very little risk- compare the risk to a Hell’s Angels biker who might literally kill you. And furs were always expensive which kept the quantity relatively low- compare the number of fur animals killed to the number that are killed for their hides to make car interiors, house furniture, clothing, and more.

If the fur protesters want to make a big impact they should protest leather, but you don’t see that. Instead they took their smaller symbolic victory because the meaningful fight is too hard and too risky.
Honestly I do not get the Uber Eats hype. If I'm sober enough to drive I can get the same food, fresh and on a plate for cheaper. If I'm drunk I'm happy with a pizza delievered by Domino's.

Getting food delivered slowly, cold and squashed into plastic containers is an awful experience, and it ends up costing me thirty bucks.
Hello from Osaka :)

I love the way Japanese cities are laid out, and accept this system as a consequence of that. The haphazard layout is very aesthetically pleasing and walking from A to B, while requiring a winding and inefficient route, is a very pleasant experience. I live in Philadelphia, where the grid is convenient but feels suffocating and artificial. The more organic layout is much warmer.

Uber doesn't need a moat. They built their fortress on an inaccessible mountain of thin profit margins. Every competitor bleeds lots of money to get there, and nobody is going to pump a few billions for an Uber competitor. If anything, headlines like this give competitive advantage by scaring potential competing founders and investors.
I worked in a shop that had something like this happen with Oracle. They audited is and hit us will a $1 million bill. This was a huge bill for the fairly small shop. People had to be let go.
I knew that, but I always believed it was related to the area only, not the forest within, so that it should be added explicitly when one refers to the forest. Just as we use the Amazon River to indicate the river.
Lizmat: “Perl” in the name “Perl 6” is confusing and irritating
This is the way I would have explained the main stream media.
I've seen this pattern in academic settings myself.

There's simply a lot of tunnel vision. Although, as a parent comment pointed out (a bit rudely) there's acknowledgement of various shortcomings of measures such as CPI, there's also a tendency to assume these models are accurate in policy-setting institutions.

I'd say they're maybe as accurate as predicting weather in the Great Lakes Region.

Also: r/economics should not be representative of economists, as a group. (Although they do parrot a lot of bank and government economist views.) Most posters there strike me as undergrads, who are mostly clueless to the fuzzy subtleties of the study (and life in general.)
There are a ton of things to spending all this money on.

Overpopulation is the foundation of human suffering and is driving us to extinction. There's is a clear negative correlation between educated women and population growth. How about setting up some scholarship funds?

When we run out of oil, there will be a second dark age. The metals required to make steel and electronics will basically become inaccessible when we cannot afford to power the machines which excavate and transport the material. Not to mention the famines which will ensue when we can't fuel the trucks that supply remote settlements like Los Angeles with food. How about building out the infrastructure required to transition away from fossil fuels?

The plankton provide 2/3 of the oxygen we breathe and our industries are currently making vast areas of the ocean completely uninhabitable for them. How about protecting the photosynthesizing life in the sea that we all need to survive?

I mean, the instructions are written on the wall, in big, bold, red capital letters. Only a fool would throw his or her hands in the air and say that there's nothing else to do.

Interested, although not surprised, to see my factually indisputable comment getting massively downvoted.
Article gets the perspective completely wrong. A space has meaning because a mind interacts with it. If you see the player as the only mind in a single-player game, then go make design hurdles and obstacles like an olympic sport. But videogames can have fake AI minds.

If you design a room from the perspective of a dog that needs to maximize it's needs/wants/goals/skill/desire, from the perspective of it's mind, then designing terrain so that the dog can pursue those goals in a way that is fun for the player and for "the dog" is much more intuitive. The only conflict you need to focus on is the intersection between the dog's goals and the player's story-line through the world.

Presuming your game is based on combat, then designing the space so the dog can maximize (or just play) with it's abilities and perceptions in a fight and making the room play in fun way becomes more straight forward. You look at the room you are building from the perspective of 4 paws on the floor and build a nice overhang or a cheekily placed box so that when the dog breaks it's normal goals to pursue the player, the most common response from the player (look at it, or whatever) will be intersected or guided by a fun piece of world matter.

There is nearly no meaning in his world, it exists only to express the skill of playing a game with no minds, so an emphasis on map control and resources control becomes more important than interacting with a meaningful behaviour the game actors produce.
If on-demand delivery scaled to the maturity of package delivery (like UPS/Fedex) I can imagine Dominos one day replacing their delivery operations with the future version of Uber Eats.
Dynamic taint analysis is a really common technique in academic work, but largely has unacceptable performance costs for interesting applications. Typical costs range from 10% to 100% overhead or more. The other problem is that the entire system needs to track it. If you just own part of a system, instrumenting to add dynamic taint tracking can be really difficult.

Ok, but what is your better suggestion to solve the problem of quality or content creep that affects consumers and economic data? Perhaps there is a good way to have consumers be informed, or perhaps there isn’t. But at the very least, accurate data for economic statistics should be available since that same kind of data is available at batch levels for safety and compliance purposes.
