I'm not sure even the finances would work out.

So you have an asset--your car--that let's just assume you're fine with it being something economical to drive and you don't need to keep a bunch of personal stuff in it. Now you rent it out.

So you're in the single vehicle fleet management business. Your asset depreciates mostly on a per mile basis. (Not entirely but a good first approximation.) Say 50 cents a mile cost (including fuel). EV eventually brings this down but who knows what incremental hardware will be required for autonomy.

So two possible outcomes here.

One is that reimbursement costs drop to near operating cost. Some people will want to borrow from their future selves or will figure that their costs are enough below the average to make it work. In any case, it's not a great deal for the car owner.

The other is that reimbursement costs somehow embed a nice profit for the car owner. In this case, why on earth wouldn't the sort of companies that manage car fleets today get into the business, especially given that they can do things like maintenance less expensively than an individual.
That's an interesting point (and a possible hidden agenda), but again, the scriptability of something is orthogonal to whether it's graphical or not.

Web browsers are as GUI as they come, and arguably have far better scripting support than any CLI program.
Taught, yes, but imposed? In any case, you're ignoring important facts, many of them addressed in a broad view of the Old Testament and the Gospel of Matthew.

First, in Genesis, the ideal, created union is given as monogamous. Second, none of the prophets were polygamous. Third, polygamy is usually spoken of disparagingly and as something having disastrous consequences. Fourth, Mosaic law also permitted divorce, but that was a divine dispensation that Jesus lifted and that one existed in the first place because "your hearts were hard". He goes on to say that "it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, unless the marriage is unlawful, and marries another woman commits adultery" (Matt 19:8-9).

Thus, polygamy may have been tolerated for similar reasons, that is, as a concession to the times, as it were. Furthermore, Maimonides argues that while the Torah may permit certain behaviors, a synoptic reading would show that it establishes rules that show these behaviors are wrong.

I've been doing exactly the same for the past 16 years, and my experience has been exactly the same as yours. Never seen any of these proposed models work in reality, and never seen these models come from industry or academic veterans.
Great point. Sometimes I have found that I can be so caught up in the goals or some future desired state that i forget to enjoy the journey.I have to consciously and continuously remind myself of this.

Interestingly some believe this focus on goals vs just being, is a function of our schooling system. Kids who grow up without formal schooling , function more in “being” orientation vs “doing” orientation.

I was the "only has Uber" ride share user for a long time. Then I landed at Orlando and Uber was going to be $60+ for a 15 minute ride. Even though my company was paying for it, that was BS and I added Lyft on the spot. Lyft now gets probably 70% of my rides.

That afternoon was a very costly surge for Uber.
The web (or specifically HTML) was originally intended to support multiple scripting languages (which is why the <script> tag had a type attribute, which is now deprecated in HTML5.) Unfortunately, things didn't work out that way.

I'm hoping that when WASM matures a bit more, and becomes as universally supported in browsers as a javascript runtime, JS just becomes the default language supported by it, not the only one possible. Maybe one day it'll be common to see Typescript run directly in the browser, who knows?

Employer NI is a scam anyways - some government or another needed more money, but didn't want to piss off the populace by raising taxes, so they increased taxes "invisibly" - you still get paid the same (as specified in your contract), you're just suddenly more expensive to the employer.

Also, if self-employed people pay less tax than employees, that's not their fault. Again, it's a tax avoidance scam primarily perpetuated by the government (guess why? so that the lawmakers and/or their proteges can pay less tax themselves!). People respond to incentives, as they should.
it was a really enjoyable article, I bookmarked your functional js paper for later too. Thanks for sharing it.

That's polyandry, but terminology aside, the same problem vis-a-vis what I've written still exists. There may be sex-specific problems that result from polyandry vs. polygamy, but the same problems mentioned above remain.

Google’s publisher network used to be, as best as I could tell, entirely contextual to page content. I used to see CPMs anywhere from $5 - $1000 depending on the content.
Because doing this inflates the price of everything, including the exchange rate.

Imagine the following (simplified) situation:

Before inflation, a beer costs 10CHF, Euro is at parity:
10EUR = 10CHF = 1 beer

After inflation of 10x, beer now costs 100CHF:
10EUR = 100CHF = 1 beer

In the end, if you pay in EUR, a beer always costs 10EUR. The value of the CHF has not really weaken (only numerically)

I smoked cigarettes for about 25 years and switched to vaping about 5 years ago. My anecdata is it's the flavorings which are most harmful. I had a pretty consistent cough from cigarettes which got a little better after switching to vapes, but it really depended on the flavor. Some flavors were much more harsh and the cough would return. It didn't go away until I switched to completely unflavored juice.

I too don't understand the excitement these object-oriented shells elicit in some circles. It's exactly like you say, the job of a shell is to manage jobs and run programs.

> These companies that we all work at get millions in funding, and are happy to pay programmers 150k+ a year because they need them to succeed.

They're not happy to pay that much, they just need to pay that much because that's the rate for programmers in the area. You can easily get far cheaper programmers from abroad, but then you'll need to manage that. You can also move your whole company abroad but then you're further from venture capital.

Also, with programmers there's this meme that a bad programmer will ruin you, so you need to get "good programmers" at all costs. A programmer can't really go out and say "I'm not that good, but I'll make up for it by charging less!". Unlike clickworker output, programmer output is not fungible.

> The difference between a dollar and hour and five is negligible to these organisations at the levels most of them are using this sort of labour.

That's your uninformed claim. A quadrupling in compensation is a quadrupling in cost. Whether that cost is negligible depends on the amount of work relative to all other work. If you have a company working on AI solutions, the cost of labeling can easily be one of the most significant positions.

> This is rarely a choice between paying subsistence wages and none at all - instead it's a choice between subsistence wages and making a decent living.

These people are not paid wages, they are not employees, they are directly compensated for what they produce. To pay wages, you first need a company to pay those wages, which implies that these companies are compensated for what they produce. Companies don't get a guaranteed minimum compensation, they need to go by the market rate. For the same reason, clickworkers need to go by the market rate.

> There's also the fact that people who are affected, who slip out the bottom of whatever calculation is going on, are going to have more opportunities locally if their peers are still employed doing more profitable work.

How is that a "fact"? If you're doing clickwork, that means you're at the bottom in terms of earning potential. It means every conceivable opportunity around you is worse, be that financially or in terms of working conditions. Why would they suddenly have more opportunity?

> I see a lot of people fall for the argument that starvation wages are an alternative to no wages, and it's not true now any more than it was when the industrialists tried it in the 19th century. Standard of living, wherever it may be, is better off when money is in the hands of ordinary working people.

What does that imply? What are you actually saying should happen?
Exactly. It's just weak men find any excuse to avoid actually putting themselves out there, and would rather post online about how women are all terrible.

Uber is worldwide - I’ve used it on 4 continents. I actually signed up for it when in South Africa.

Considering they sold their business to Grab, I think you could safely say Uber+Grab are as close to a global service as you can get, and probably represents a significant fraction (though maybe not 50%+) of the global market
I don't think Fowler pretends to be much of an innovator. The way I see it his work consists in collecting and documenting existing ideas from the industry. You'll find many instances of patterns listed in PoEAA in open-source frameworks. His "refactorings" are also pretty simple ideas that people generally come up with on their own after a bit of work experience. It's just nice to have a nicely formatted book where they're given a name and they're illustrated by diagrams and examples, especially to help junior developers. You'll also notice that for each pattern or refactoring, Fowler generally tries to show its caveats. So it's not like he tries to sell his ideas at all costs. Note that here I'm talking specifically about Fowler, whose work I have found helpful with my real world projects.

The volume is the volume of the reactor, including blanket, magnets, and the structure needed to support the JxB forces on the magnets, not the volume of the plasma. See table 11, page 30, in the ARC paper:

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1409.3540.pdf

For PWRs:

https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/nuclear-engineering/22-06-engine...

(take the dimensions given for the primary reactor vessel, compute the volume as a cylinder with spherical end caps, and divide that into 3400 MW(th). The result is slightly below 20MW/m^3. Note also the power density of the core itself is given as greater than 100 MW/m^3.)

I kinda agree with you with a few nebulous exceptions. One, me, and most single people I know, would be perfectly fine with meeting some going about a day, i.e. grocery shopping. That doesn't mean I want pickup lines thrown at me, but if you're interested, start up a conversation. Secondly, I am also okay with the concept of meeting people online, except I can't find a network that doesn't make me feel like a creep. They all make me feel like I am shopping for a person that I think is attractive.

I'm not that paranoid and I don't really care about blocking ads, just the most egregious tracking. So I use Disconnect and rarely see ads or "please disable your ad blocker", and when I do see ads, I just shrug it off.

I don't know how efficient it is for tracking, but at least I have the moral high ground of going after blocking tracking, not ads in general ...

> I don't believe dating should be gamed

I agree, which is why I dislike dating apps. It seems like the dominant practice is for men to "right swipe" or message every woman (regardless of whether they are actually attracted to them or not) then decide whether they're actually interested once they get a match/response.

This results in women getting lots of generic messages from guys who are not actually interested in them. It's really a crappy experience for both genders. However, it seems to be the local optima that modern dating apps converge on.

> To pay wages, you first need a company to pay those wages,

No, individuals without any kind of “company” can and do pay wages to employees, e.g., domestic staff.
In this situation I don't think it really matters. If the VC money stopped, Uber would either go out of business or shrink back down to being a taxi company, in which case they have no competitive advantage and no network effects, making switching costs extremely low.

Being a more profitable taxi company doesn't mean much when most of your employees are also employees of your competitors, and most of your customers are also customers of your competitors. There's just no lock-in.
> We need to understand the true cost of someone's time and materials and make sure we pay that for the ride.

No, they need to understand the cost of their time and materials (IMO). It's not my role to ensure that every counterparty to every transaction is getting the best of it. If my supermarket charges too little for lettuce, my gas station too little for unleaded-87, or my cafeteria too little for the lunch special, I'm not going to spend a millisecond trying to dig into (or just imagine) their financials to protect them.

That point aside, I've spoken with many Uber and Lyft drivers; most seem to have a very firm grasp on the numbers and believe it's advantageous for them. (Presumably, the ones who don't think it's a good idea are vastly less likely to be the one driving me around at that moment.) I'd say fewer than 10% of them have the naive "my only expense is gas; I'm crushing it today!" attitude that so many Uber opponents seem to ascribe to them.
Only one of those previous submissions has substantial discussion which makes it not a dupe for HN.
For me, I had to turn this on its head. Define the habits and healthy routine you want and build the lifestyle around it.

I was on a crash course for 15 years as a tech exec. 90+ hours work per week, travel, etc. not by compulsion or financial necessity but by personal drive to be the best at what I was doing. Unfortunately I was literally killing myself.

In 2013 I stepped back, applied an engineering/tech startup process to researching and analyzing what I really wanted and needed in terms of health and family and built my career and lifestyle around those healthy choices.

The result: get more done in less time, focus on things that really move the needle in career and work, tolerate very little noise vs signal, and financially doing 2x better while working 1/2 the hours. I’m in better health now than when I was in college. By coincidence, I had a totally unrelated emergency surgical procedure not long after I got into a healthy state, and because I was fit, my body was able to recover very quickly, and my work processes were now so effective, I barely missed a beat in terms of productivity. An MD friend of mine assured me that had I been in my previous poor health state, if I had survived the surgery (his opinion unlikely) recovery would have taken months to years with likely long lasting debilitating effects. And I almost certainly would have lost my career.

It will be scary at first, like sweating all night awake with gut wrenching fear scary, but compared to the inevitable health crash that is likely, I expect you won’t regret it.

> Switzerland would first need to be part of the European Union to be able to be part of the Euro Currency region. They voted against this in 1992 and again in 2001. I am not swiss myself so take this with a grain of salt, but a quick research showed that overwhelmingly swiss citizens are against joining the EU to keep their independence and their unique way of doing democracy (direct votes on issues) probably couldn't work so well anymore.

From a legal perspective, what's stopping any country from adopting the Euro? In theory they could continuously purchase euro with their currency and limit national currency use. Obviously there are downsides to the country doing it but is there anything legally stopping them (in an international law sense)?
