I have to be brutally honest here and say that I'm not inclined to spend much time understanding in detail a 16 page paper from someone who has no recognisable affiliation and a single arxiv submission that doesn't seem to have garnered much attention. Having skimmed it and what you've written, I'm quite confused about how the ontology differs from Many Worlds or what it means for "weights" to "cross in size". I think the author concedes some of the difficult in positing a "dominant reality" when they say

> Undetectable to the observer, different alternate realities can fight for becoming the dominant one, at least over a short period of time. This effect appears to be highly unsettling and not really greatly preferable to the world-splitting n the Everett interpretation

Uber can afford to pay more and provide more stable employment.
They choose not to because it hurts their margins. Fixing this will help drivers and still won't put Uber out of business.

If we really cared about traffic in NYC we'd stop subsidizing private vehicle ownership by giving away half the street space to free parking.

Likewise, the proposed congestion pricing schemes in Manhattan should be punitively taxing private vehicle ownership, not taxis of the equivalent.
> Every single Uber driver I've ever asked does it as a full-time job

That's odd, because all my Uber drivers are doing it part time. A vast majority work in fields with either odd hours (vet techs, nursing) or with breaks (teachers) and use Lyft/Uber to fill in the gaps and make extra cash. The only driver I've had in the past few months who was full time was a recent immigrant who implied he was missing some documents to be able to get a regular job.

Brazilian Amazon deforestation went up 222% in August, compared to the same time last year[1]. Bolsonaro has a very anti-conservation agenda. He has:

- Appointed a climate denialist conspiracy theorist as his foreign minister [2]

- Appointed as minister for the environment a man convicted of forging documents in favour of mining companies [3]

- Contradicted the National Institute for Space Research, responsible for satellite tracking of deforestation, when it published preliminary data that showed the increase (as it had done every year), then fired its director[4]

- Then went on to blame the fires on conservation NGOs [5]

This is just off the top of my head (I'm Brazilian), links provided are just the first search results from reputable sources in English. Happy to provide more info to anyone who needs it.

That said, I have no love for Evo nor do I know the specifics of the situation across the border, but Bolsonaro is terrible for the environment and the world should be concerned, not in the least because 58.4% of the Amazon is inside Brazil's border. In contrast, 7.7% of it falls within Bolivia

I ended up getting my son into programming by using codakid.com as he was obsessed with Minecraft and Roblox so when I showed him he could make his own content he was hooked. We have been doing some hands-on builds with Raspberry Pi projects as well. We are lucky that our school has a good STEM program to further develop and encourage these skills. The hardest part is always making it run and relatable.

arguments of the form "this is bad, but there are much worse incidences of {bad thing} we should be talking about instead" are whataboutism. you are arguing for an exception because you've run into an issue where you find yourself on the opposite side.

it's one thing to decide not to spend your mental energy on a small deceit/inaccuracy. you are actively trying to shut down the discussion.
It's a German article, with a German headline that has nothing to do with the submission title.

Please stop doing that.
I'm also frustrated with the introduction of a completely new paradigm, but to be fair to the React team, hooks are really innovative and don't re-invent the wheel at all. I, for one, have never used another framework that had anything similar to hooks.

I've been programming in the Julia language for the past 4.5 years, and as somebody who has lived through the problems with Julia's name (getting incessantly teased by coworkers, friends, even my wife and kids, because of how much I like the Julia language and tend to gush about my enthusiasm for it), I think @StefanKarpinski really has hit the nail on the head here.

His suggestion of "Ballet" is very good, it still conveys all of the grace, elegance and beauty of ballet. Also, ballet dancers of all genders are pretty kickass athletes as well as incredible artists and performers.

Come to think about it, maybe I shouldn't recomend them changing from "Ballerina" to "Ballet", because if I came up with a new language, "Ballet" would definitely be pretty cool, and I'd want to use it myself!

I believe it is Visa to use them when transaction can not be "short-cut". I think If the merchant already is related to stripe(uses Stripe for its' payments on the website) and customer uses stripe card, stripe can bypass visa network and thus save on transaction fees.

Um, the oxygen component is a red herring and distraction to the climate debate. It took many millennia of a tiny oxygen excess to get us the atmospheric mix we know.

It's CO2 (and species and habitat loss) that matters, and the Amazon is hugely important for those, and for the climate of the region.

Which the article seems pretty clear on. So how is it presenting an impression climate change isn't that bad, or there's no urgency?
Why didn’t you expect that Sri Lanka has excellent Java coders?
It's not the big businesses I'm worried about. It's all the small ones, who are now obliged to take a hit of potentially 5% or more of a small transaction, because they have neither the power to negotiate the much lower fees that big companies have nor any longer the right to pass on the actual cost to their own customers to incentivize paying by a more cost-effective method.
IPO valuation aside -- it is premature to write the WeWork model off

It could end up being a strong counter-cyclical model -- and outperforms as the economy tightens

Traditional office space is a 2, 5, 10 year commitment and a pain to move things around -- with WeWork you're paying monthly and relocating geographically is simple

CFOs will often look to pay more per month for shorter commitments which fit well with budgets and can be terminated quickly if situations change

WeWork also makes setting up an office in a new region super simple vs contracting with local landlords

Why does it matter who calls out the falsehood?

Otherwise, while the article may come out acknowledging climate change, the headline comes across as click-bait that could easily be pushed into a climate-denier narrative. Better to have a more neutral title like "The Amazon's Role in Global Oxygen Production". That stops the facts from being decontextualized.
If that happens at all. It seems these are largely just investigated then memory-holed.

Like that single IT contractor that was handling systems for at least a dozen US Congress members and was found sending money and data to Pakistan... and it was basically covered up with no action taken except by Debbie Wassermann Schultz to threaten the investigators because it was her IT guy... ah, good times.

I mean, would have been jail for most people grossly mishandling confidential info and negligently supporting what was almost certainly a state sponsored operation. We know only low end people go to jail for that.

edit: Well, the reason it was memory-holed is a little obvious to me now.

It's also possible to initialise a word embedding matrix with vectors trained with word2vec (or any other type of pre-trained embeddings: fastText, GLoVe being common) to get a perf boost. Of course, you have to ensure the embedding matrix is pre-populated with respect to the word-index mapping. Then, as you describe, these can be adjusted during training, although sometimes they're fixed. The boost is more noticeable when you're training a model on small amounts of data.
Looks cool! Do you have plans to add filters for hardware jobs, like embedded/firmware, electronics design, mechanical eng, industrial design, etc?
The article isn't nitpicking the metaphor, it's saying that the factual claim underlying the metaphor (ie that the Amazon provides 20% or some appreciable amount of our oxygen) is false.

If you click the link at the top of the page, it takes you to an article that you can read. I recommend doing so before commenting on a post in general

Truth is an abstract concept. We only ever get an interpretation, and this interpretation needs to be properly apprehensive of how information is disseminated and interpreted. Proper editorializing is far more important than you realize.

There's nothing inherently wrong with the contents of this article. It does not undermine the climate change (read: scientific) "agenda" in the slightest. However, considering the sheer amount of people who only read article titles and form rigid opinions nonetheless, this article's title specifically is potentially harmful.
Right now in order to charge USD (not the local currency), we have to give up 2% of total revenues to Stripe (or your local issuing bank) every month.

You can log into many apps and look for customers from many networks at the same time. This is what majority of full time drivers do here (many part time ones only use Uber for example).
> Children can't be seen over the hood.

That's not really a valid point - any child close enough to be invisible to a driver is far too close for the driver to avoid. A child more than a few feet away can easily be seen by the driver of an SUV, let alone a small oen like a Macan.
All of this is funded by their oil wealth. Everything about SA can be traced back to their oil wealth (including their relations with the US). If the oil runs out or the demand for oil drops low enough, we can expect to see an entire country return to the empty desert it came from. Unlike Norway and similarly to Canada their sovereign wealth fund isn't very healthy, and unlike Norway and Canada they don't have much else going for them.
My understanding of the danger was a bit more practical and less abstract. If you use your "best" classifier in a GAN to generate malicious content, then regardless of whether or not it's any good, it will by definition be able to fool your spam classifier. So fighting machine generated garbage has to be done by humans again, which scales much more poorly.
From looking at the condition of the drivers and the cabs they maintained before the arrival of Uber & Lyft, I don't think NYC's medallion system (or its equivalent in other cities) were following any modest safety requirements that were in place back then.

People loved these ride-hailing apps because of how lousy the typical taxi cab experience was for most people.

~ Most of the drivers were not native English speakers and would not put any effort into conducting their business genially.

~ They would refuse to take credit cards despite having card readers or would disable them to take cash.

~ At late hours you were at the mercy of the dispatcher (from the central office) if they would send a taxi at all or if the driver would take your business instead of ditching you to pickup passengers for longer (and more profitable) trips.

~ There was zero accountability in a whole host of areas like that.
I didn't literally mean static sites ️
By static I mean I site like Github, Craigslist, Wikipedia. Stuff doesn't change often. Uses forms for submitting data.
By dynamic I mean sites that make heavy use of ajax, you want real-time anything, high levels of interactivity in the interface. These are often apps.
I have had good success with LastPass keeping it updated and using the binaries on my devices. I don't fully trust anything but also using Authy 2FA on whatever I can as well.
I love hooks. They've simplified a lot of components with state that don't "need" to be classes.

I have run into a sort of useEffect hell at times that makes me wish for the old life-cycle components as visually I find them easier to comprehend in very "active" and more complex components. But honestly I suspect that is because I don't quite understand useeffect well enough.
No that's not what I meant.
> but that isn't what they are

They very clearly are just that.

> employees need to work nearly full time to meet ends meet

Which is exactly why they're supplemental income and not full-time jobs.

Uber and Lyft tell you exactly what you're going to make before you start driving for them. If you willingly work full-time hours for them, that's your problem, not theirs.

I think it's important to not gloss over what the markets are looking for in companies they want to grow as fast as possible: monopoly.

IMO, the shift to "show me profits" could be as much about the growing societal and regulatory backlash to monopolistic tech, which, if materialized, drastically reduces the probability of achieving or maintaining monopoly.
More likely an end to the nation-state, and a return to the more stable city-state. Once a society is on the path to regression, you don't exactly get to choose where the ball stops rolling. It's going to end up at the most stable location, and nation-states have a short history compared to city-states but also more volatile.

I don't agree with the author's statement that there are only two (very involved) solutions to the pagination problem
(re: section titled "React relies on the order in which Hooks are called").

It can easily be solved by just setting the state in the event handler, since the state is included in the dependencies array for the fetch effect:

https://codesandbox.io/s/dependency-array-0u3sc

The answer to this question posed by the author?

> On line 23, the useFetch Hook will be called once on the first render. On lines 35 – 38, pagination buttons are rendered but how would we call the useFetch Hook from the event handlers of these buttons?

We can call `useFetch` again by triggering a re-render. This hasn't changed at all with the introduction of hooks: new props or new state still triggers a re-render.

The proposition for VPN or proxy services makes most sense when you don't trust your home/mobile ISP (a good portion of the world is in this situation) and for public wifi, which is increasingly managed by companies like Zenreach and Facebook with the goal of silently tracking where users go to provide "insights" for business owners and targeted advertising.

Simply connecting to these hotspots opens you up to location tracking unless you're able to randomize your MAC address, but after you connect it seems like common sense to prevent these companies from harvesting your browsing data as well.

Something about the "too nice" thing rubs me the wrong way. You gotta respect the people who develop the software. At the same time, the way people are deemed "complainers" reeks of contempt for the users. Yes, the users sometimes take your free work for granted. But you offered it. If you don't like the expectations that users assume are attached to it, you should say so upfront so they can become entangled with Ruby instead.

I don't think I disagree with your point in practice. Maybe in some details. I just don't think that not being credible in your plan to drop support on a given date is necessarily such a "nice" thing to do. You could say it's a "weak" thing to do. It doesn't help people prioritize the move and eventually hurts people by putting them into a jam on the day finally comes here. I think the ideal thing would be to break compatibility piece by piece, assuming it's really necessary, but be _understanding_ about it. Tell people "we understand that this is inconvenient for a certain number of people but have to cut it off at some place", not "stop complaining about free stuff".
Federal sentences are able to be reduced to 85% with good time. It is also possible to participate in a residential drug treatment program to get up to 12 months off of your sentence. Additionally, they typically send you to a privately operated halfway house near the end of your sentence. Halfway house time can vary widely. Participation in the residential program guarantees you at least 4 months in a halfway house. While at the halfway house you can go out into the community socially, for work, and to live at home for up to 48 continuous hours. From the halfway house you are also capable of being placed on full time home confinement. You become eligible when you have 10% of your sentence left. Occasionally more well-known types, such as politicians, are sent to home confinement earlier. This is supposedly because of "security issues" at the halfway house.

I was sentenced in March of 2018 and self-surrendered at FCI Morgantown on May of 2018. I participated in the residential program and left in May of 2019. I am fully released in October of 2019. I currently live at the halfway house. You need an ankle monitor to go on home confinement and my place of employment is not compatible with an ankle monitor. Unfortunately, the BOP requires you to pay 25% of your gross income to the halfway house while you reside there.

Hmmm, one could choose other grocery stores to distribute their products but developers can only distribute their app in one store.

If you spent months or years developing an app and apple reject it, you have no way to go. You can’t make it android or web without significant rework.

I generally like writing hooks. They're fairly straightforward to understand (until they aren't, but that hasn't bitten me often yet). However, reading other people's hooks is a lot more mental overhead than the same class methods, IMO. Either you have strict coding standards around them (which are pretty hard to implement with automated tools, so hopefully your code review process never lets anythign slip through) or comprehending someone else's code takes longer. For that reason, I've stuck with classes for the time being.
