> why don't they simply choose not to offer their services to Uber?

You assume there are other options without barriers to entry. You’ve learned how to drive uber, you’ve got a vehicle and payments to make - now take a risk on some other gig with a million unknowns?

Now it’s possible that uber cannot shoulder this cost by lowering their margins, and it will pass directly to the consumer as you suggest - but it’s not guaranteed. The fact that uber is behind this suggests that they can shoulder the cost.

Motorcycle helmets generally have a thicker, smooth exterior shell that better protects the foamed plastic under it from UV and O2 degradation. With cheaper bike helmets, they often have more ventilation holes, and you can usually see the formed EPS.

That said, you could just put zinc oxide sunblock on your helmet and then protect the UV-blocking layer with a spray urethane top-coat, and thereby extend the useful lifespan of your helmet by years.

Can't really do much about O2 damage or migration of plasticizers, though, unless you want to freeze your helmet any time you're not wearing it. Keeping it in an air-conditioned interior room rather than a hot garage or bike locker might help.

EPS can last quite a while when buried, where it is protected from UV, excessive O2, or heat extremes, but I wouldn't entirely trust an EPS helmet beyond 10 years. It's not so much that EPS can't last that long, but that you can't guarantee that it hasn't encountered environmental conditions that would result in degradation over longer time spans. Better a 10-year-old helmet than no helmet, though. There's no excuse for doing that when municipalities sometimes just give away free (to the recipient) bicycle helmets, maybe with sponsorship by an insurer or National Safety Council or similar organization.
> The coyness around whether it's "done" or not.

There's no coyness; the language spec and implementations are both actively developed, and it's a spec-first design, so Rakudo is sometimes incomplete with regard to the most-recent spec, but Rakudo is and for some time been a “production-ready, stable” implementation of Perl 6.

The language has been consistently described as stable since the “Christmas” release, Perl 6.c, on 25 December 2015, though it took a bit longer before Rakudo had a production-ready 6.c implementation; the current (and currently supported in Rakudo) spec is 6.d, released last year.

> Yes, it has a VM.

Several, in fact. (More if you count defunct historical ones like Parrot.)

> But why do people talk about ParrotVM and Rakudo as if they're different things?

Because they are: ParrotVM is a (AFAIK) essentially dead multilanguage VM that Rakudo used to support; Rakudo currently has a MoarVM backend, and a JVM backend, and IIRC there is a non-production-ready JS backend that is available separately.
This is not an uncommon pattern. Regulations hurt experimental young companies challenging a status quo. Evading regulations (not a taxi, not an employer, etc.) allowed uber to become a large incumbent. Regulations tend to lock the status quo in place, and the status quo now is that Uber is a large incumbent.
...generally its the opposite, no?
One area where a company like Firefox could do well is embedded browsers. Some years ago I had a need to embed a browser into a windows app and there were really not many good options available. Mozilla had something (XULRunner) that seemed not maintained anymore. Mozilla could build a better competitor to Electron. That would give them developer mindshare and probably also contributions once companies are building products with that framework.

Or they could be innovative with their browser. Sometimes I have trouble telling chrome and Firefox apart. They are so similar.
Guess what's going to be part of the next GitLab release...
That's a fair question, but you'd also need to ask it about essentially the entire history of the labor movement. Why did coal miners fight and die for modern labor laws, rather than finding different work? In the big picture, there are structural forces that get in the way of a simple supply-and-demand view of labor. People's lives are sticky, and the next-best-alternative to a person's current job is often much worse, rather than just a little bit worse.

I know this is meant jokingly, but for many cities (especially relatively remote ones), trains are not considered viable because they have strictly defined routes.

Many cities choose to forego trains for busses in large part due to the lower upfront costs and the ability to change routes as the needs of the populace change.
Agreed, but presumably insurance companies wouldn't be looking at whether you followed the law, they would be looking at whether you drove safely to the extent that such a difference matters.

>because their customers are extremely price sensitive

The proposal suggests to me that they think their customers are not extremely price sensitive but they're also not loyal to a specific supplier. In other words, they'll take almost as many rides even if the price goes up but they'll still go with whoever is cheapest.

> it seems unfair to target Uber on this number

No it's not. That there are worse jobs elsewhere in no way implies these people are asking for anything unfair. Uber got where it is by greedily violating every regulation on the books and now that they are facing these "unfair" unionizers they demand regulation? Please.
No, thats a nerfarious government.
And it's a pretty good defense. Say those dark patterns are removed - and loading a .apk from the web on a completely new pixel 3 shows the "do you want to install this app?" dialog.

Or what if the app is named "get any app free app store" and, along with providing cracked apps from Google Play, it enrolled your android in a botnet?

I've been thinking a lot about this problem lately.

I'd like to hear thoughts on the effect of an unlimited density, all uses allowed, zone near public transit. I imagine something like the Kowloon walled city.
I think that this is maybe mistaking why some developers create free software in the first place.

Personally, it's not about money when I do it--for me it's about pushing humanity forward with new capabilities. So for me, the problem really is companies not contributing back changes. Even if companies use my software, I don't see it as me working for them for free, I see it as me working for humanity for free.

That said, no free software I've ever written has ever gotten a significant user base, so perhaps my feelings would be different if I were a more successful free software developer.
Nope.

Reading the article further it’s clear to me that they just want to avoid criticism by positioning themselves as a tool to quit smoking. They know that some people are going to buy them no matter what they say - and this just keeps parents off their backs and their products on retailers shelves.

It's easy:

1) Stop building new roads, and stop improving existing ones. Stop worrying about traffic problems; if people don't like it, they can move somewhere else or start using public transit.

Maybe 1a) Convert some existing highways to toll roads. Use the funds for #2.

2) Use the money saved by not building or widening roads to build and operate more public transit: buses, and especially trains/subways. Give people a way to commute into the city for work without a car.

3) Fix zoning so that higher-density development is allowed, and can't be stopped by NIMBYs. Require mixed-use development where sensible (i.e., retail shops at ground level). Don't require a certain number of parking spaces, perhaps even add a tax for parking (lower for a garage maybe, higher for open lots).

Over time, the area will become denser. People will move closer to the city core, and want to get away from the congestion of the suburbs.

This stuff is perfectly doable, but only if there's the political will to do so. This country simple does not have the political will.
The price would get so high that demand would plummet -- more shared/saver rides or public transit or own drive or flexcar/cargo carshare outside of the densest Urban cores.

I assume at $21/h the driver has to pay car expenses? How much does that cost per hour assuming a driver does full time driving?

Shouldn’t Uber instead be guaranteeing how much drivers are paid net? If $21 really is before expenses then it’s not even $15 for most drivers after, maybe not even $10?

Also: I was assuming the pay was while working, not while driving passengers. Otherwise isn’t it even worse?

What if Uber instead just guaranteed drivers a living wage plus benefits net?
> Python has CPython 2.0, CPython 3.0, and Jython at least. Probably a few others

If it takes you literally "decades" to build a train line, when the US back in the mid-1800s built railroads across the continent by hand, then maybe you should just give up and admit your country is hopelessly broken. Other countries don't take that long to build a few train lines.

That's a mischaracterization of my argument. I never claimed they couldn't sideload an app or that it was difficult. After all, all they had to do was follow the on-screen instructions. Furthermore, sideloading wasn't helping them. The user went through more steps to install a game just so epic could skip the 30% play store tax. Maybe epic passed the savings on the consumer instead of lining their profits (ha!), but the only entity that sideloading clearly helped was epic.

>But you get a device that records your life intimately and is one subpoena to Google or Apple away from making your life very, very difficult.

* you can opt out of the tracking/uploading to google/apple

* even if you opted into tracking/uploading, there's things that aren't but local malware can get (eg. emails, phone recordings)

* requiring a subpoena requires judicial approval and leaves a paper trail. it's also not an option for some groups (eg. foreign governments). there's a reason why mercenary hacking firms (hacking team, NSO group, DarkMatter) are a thing.

The Paradox of Superstars
It's much easier to keep clean shaven than it is to maintain a beard, so beards are not the ideal choice for the lazy man. It's also much less time consuming to shave, so neither are they the ideal choice for the busy man. Razors are the cheapest facial hair grooming tool, so not the ideal choice for the poor man either. They type of lazy/poor/busy man that would wear a beard would likely not be clean shaven on a daily basis regardless.
