It's related because it's very easy to empathize with people wanting to bypass Duo, when Duo is a crappy proprietary app built on top of an open standard that people are forced to use.

Your "incidentally" comment is actually important: organizations have to enable these additional auth methods; mine does not support TOTP. If it was the case that people weren't forced to either answer the phone or use a crappy app to log in (and own a smartphone), there would be much less impetus to bypass it. The point is not bypassing 2FA. The point is bypassing Duo.

Uber Says It Won't Need to Reclassify Employees Despite New California Law

The path to tenure is publish or perish. I don't know specific hour commitments, but at an R1 university, you're looking at 4-7 years of long hours with a risk that you won't get tenure. And unless you bring in BIG money or work in a super HCOL area, you probably won't ever make 200k/year.

I'm scared though, Voice seems to be an after though for google. They've killed Hangouts, which is the only app that text works with (if you have another way tell me), not given it any update love in forever and have been ending projects more actively recently.

I don't know what I'd do without voice.
> Non-locality is practically axiomatic if you understand Bell's Inequalities, and doesn't require true FTL signalling.

My complaint is exactly that the Copenhagen interpretation introduces that unnecessary FTL signalling requirement. Under the MWI, nothing weird is going on in the EPR thought experiment. But if you believe that a collapse occurs when we measure system A, then that collapse has to somehow occur non-locally and/or be FTL-transmitted between A and B.

> If you're going to believe in MWI you have to explain how an entire universe appears instantaneously, identical in every way to another universe, except for one almost insignificant difference in exactly one quantum interaction.

You don't; to talk about it in those terms is putting the cart before the horse. You have to believe that a wavefunction evolves in the usual way and represents the thing that it usually represents. You have to believe that when a pure system interacts with a system in superposition then the result is two systems that are entangled and in superposition - something you presumably already believe if you believe in any kind of QM at all. You only have to believe that a new universe appears instantaneously if your interpretation of putting a particle into superposition is that a new particle appears instantaneously, which is not an approach I've ever heard advocated.

I’m not 100% sure if there’s a source exactly, but we don’t like safety and correctness to depend on what flags you pass or do not pass. We don’t offer a fast-math flag either for similar reasons.

The odd one out is overflow, and that’s only because it’s well defined (a “program error”) and not UB to overflow in Rust. This gets checked in debug but not currently release, though the spec allows for it.

Good point. Some of my best work has been while miserable, though I wouldn't call it sustainable. It ultimately depends on the person.
Inflation is super easy to game and everyone wants to push that number as low as possible. The basket used for inflation is ever changing and the percentages aren’t real. For example medical costs are intentionally significantly under counted, and how do you objectively qualify how much better a lcd tv is than a crt tv?

Our results probably only hold true for workloads with a low IPC. The test case is also a very limited forwarder, but real network functions also have a relatively low IPC in my experience (don't have any numbers to back up this claim, though).
"The Decawave DW1000 Radio IC [3] for example, can move 6.8Mbps of data with an accuracy that is 100x better than WiFi or Bluetooth. It can reach 290 meters of distance with a very minimal power requirement with a 50x faster speed compared to standard GPS latency."

None of this makes sense as-written. It is either techno-blither or the author doesn't sufficiently explain "distance", "power", "speed", "better" or "accuracy".
> But speaking in a broader sense, do you think that a mediocre 22 year old engineer "deserves" more money and a better lifestyle than the best teacher in the world?

Well, first of all, it is very unlikely that the "best teacher in the world" simply works in school. And if they do - then it is by choice.

Second, it would of course not matter if said mediocre engineer is 22 or 66 years old - maybe you just included it for the sake of illustration but it does give some ageism vibes.

Anyway, since you have still not elaborated on what "to deserve" means to you, I will tell you how I think about it. When I think "someone doesn't deserve something" it implies "this should not be so". Now we have a question - can we and should we do something about it? Either on a personal level, or on collective governmental level.

In this particular case - it would depend on having a way to objectively determine teacher's skill level and whether disproportionately high skill level would translate to similarly disproportional effects in their teaching (both in the individual pupil results and the number of pupils they are able to reach). All of that is required because they are paid by public money - private tutors can get paid whatever their clients are willing to pay.

If we are able to do that, I might say such a great teacher deserves to be paid lot of money, comparable to what Facebook pays it's engineers. Otherwise, I would not presume to say that any particular teacher should (which is the same as "deserves" for me) command a salary based on what few big tech companies are willing to pay fresh grads.
If they built with debug there would be dramatically more load/store uops than you see in the benchmark. Debug mode builds disable optimizations and store variables back to memory after most expressions to aid debugging.
No idea why you're being downvoted.

I imagine the reasoning is because at the end of the day, in most discussions, it hardly matters the technical aspect of if the money came from a signing bonus or a stock option. $300k is $300k.

Ebay doesn't control how much you sell your product for. Ebay doesn't police how you sell, package, or ship your product. It's mostly hands off. Compare this with the level of control Uber exerts on its drivers.

Similarly, Ebay's service is less dependent on how well you provide your commerce services, it pretty much lets the market determine your prospects on its platform. On the other hand, Uber is highly reliant on the conduct of its drivers and the service the provide.

Things that can't go on forever don't go on forever. Uber's business model is unsustainable at its current prices. At some point, the investor money will run out, and it will have to either raise prices or cut costs. It's very hard to see where it can cut costs.

Which means it is inevitable that Uber will become more expensive, or it will fail. It's just a matter of time.

This is essentially true of government surveillance as well. Not really a surprise, since most modern state surveillance issues are essentially about ways in which private and public/state power cooperate.

The overarching point is that it's naive to consider issues of privacy particularly distinct in the public or private sphere. Neither market nor political power are trivial to escape (and they have other things in common). Individual opt-outs will only get you so far from either a Google scale or state scale operation.
I've always wanted to design a slot machine that traded a few NASDAQ stocks.

I don't think so (I am not an expert though so it's possible), my point was that even if the exchange, not just your broker, blows up, the thing you were buying and selling is a real thing anyway, unlike in a Bucket Shop.
As an aside, I seem to recall .NET making an interesting optimisation here, such that if you access an array using, for example, `data[20]`, bounds checks are omitted for lower indexes.
Maybe if you set up a site that looks like a login form phishing for the PW then immediately forwarding it to the target site, then do the same for a 2FA token you have a point.

But in any other case where the victim isn't in the loop, that 2FA protects them (hopefully). If you haven't been to target.com in a week, you're not going to click the pop-up on your phone to log in out of the blue (hopefully).

Ideally your 2FA methods are not as simple as just sending a code and having the user parrot it back though. There might be some cryptography going on that would make it even harder for the attacker to interfere.
Free markets only exist in heavily regulated industries because otherwise everyone cheats and there is no price discovery. Kind of ironic really.

As a user of a phone with a swappable battery, I keep an extra battery in my bag and swap whenever the battery gets low. The dead battery goes in a charger when I'm home. The swapping functionally is getting used frequently.

Also, as a user of a more recent phone with good battery life and wireless charging, the battery never dies so I've never felt the need to swap it.

On a side note, I feel that the rampant accusations of shilling lower the quality of discourse here and are indicative of a failure of empathy or theory of mind.
> A majority of drivers have both Lyft and uber enabled at the same time.... so are they employees of both?

Having the app enabled is being on-call for potential assignments, not actually working. In my youngest years, I did that for multiple temp agencies at the same time a lot. Are they employees of both? Sure. Multiple W-2 employers is not that uncommon for people doing temp work.

> How should benefits be calculated?

In most cases, they will probably work little enough for each as to not reach mandatory benefit eligibility under most employer mandates.

> If I am an employee of a company, they are probably not going to let me work for a competitor while I am on the clock with them.

If you are an employee of a company giving on-demand assignments, they probably aren't going to consider you on the clock merely because you have indicated you are available to take an assignment if it becomes available.

If there are minimum paid shift rules in play, they may consider you on the clock and demand exclusivity for the paid period once you accept a job, even if there is a lull between assignments, though.

Interesting to see a causal connection from local scopes to universal. I've been thinking about the converse. A fair number of theories of black holes, like the event horizon firewall, depend on interaction with cosmic background radiation. If fundamental properties of black holes are tied to the circumstances of the formation of the universe they live in, and those properties end up, and those properties are also tied to quantum gravity, that would mean there's an interesting connection between the three story of the universe's formation and it's fundamental laws. I realize I'm pretty deep into crackpot territory, even with all the if's, but it's at least a fun idea.
Do you think having extra $50 disposable per month is a lot of money? There was a time when it would be hugely important for me, and now it is not.

What "lot of money" means is entirely relative to how much money you have because for most people it means "would it translate to large difference in lifestyle".

Also, if we are talking about the comment by refurb, it said "rolling in cash" which does not carry the same connotations as "lot of money".

To answer your question: Yes, that particular benchmark was done with GCC and yes, it would have been better to use clang/LLVM for a more fair comparison.

We of course also compared gcc with clang/LLVM and found that clang was 0.8% slower, so it does not explain the difference entirely.

You’re right, it’s a bit much to say no-one came forward, but enough wasn’t done to catch what was going before it came crashing down. The comment I was replying to was implying people would notice discrepancies and we would be able to catch it.
In a lot of ways, living on spaceships/space stations/other artificial constructions is likely a better path forward than looking to colonize new planets in general. O'Neill cylinders are quite practical, and with advances in technology that seem likely to occur, even larger projects like Bishop rings should be doable. They can be linked together to form constellations, and have enough free floating resources within the solar system to be able to build enough of them to support populations in the trillions.

It probably sounds less than ideal to you and me, vs. living on a planet, but it probably wouldn't be so bad to someone born in that sort of environment and is used to it.

With that in mind, I don't know if it makes sense to try and find human habitable planets, vs. just places with lots of raw material we can use. Unless there's alien life we want to go meet up with, at any rate.
> Whitey Bulger was one of the prisoners who volunteered for what he was told was an experiment aimed at finding a cure for schizophrenia. As part of this experiment, he was given LSD every day for more than a year. He later realized that this had nothing to do with schizophrenia and he was a guinea pig in a government experiment aimed at seeing what people's long-term reactions to LSD was. Essentially, could we make a person lose his mind by feeding him LSD every day over such a long period?

Can a mind be destroyed but continue to have self-awareness to realize it was being treated as a guinea pig? Does the experiment proved it was all BS?
How will the law change anything for Uber or it's drivers? As I understand it, this law just codifies existing legal precents under which Uber has already successfully withstood legal challenges. It doesn't really change the nature of the ongoing legal challenges that Uber will continue to face.

IMHO, the whole point of this law is just to weaken the existing precedent by giving exemptions to the Lawmakers' buddies and donors.
The ego on this person.
Wow, just .. wow. I thought it was going to be Uber's plan of coming under compliance of AB5 and sugar coating the entire thing to made them sound like some honorable people. But no, they're still scum. You get half way through and you realize it's just business as usual. We're going to ignore, fight and not give a shit about the law.

The build up to this legislation was that it was specifically around companies like Lyft, Uber, Dolly, etc. To argue against this just shows how desperate the company is to not give up anything.

Personally I stopped using Uber in 2016 and never looked back. I'd rather pay more for a Lyft. If both of them disappear tomorrow, there will always be Taxis; and maybe cities will finally start building out real mass transit like America has needed for decades, instead of hanging on to the brain-dead dream of a self-driving cab.
It depends on what I’m optimizing for - to add value at my current company or to add value to my resume for the broader market. Hopefully I can choose a technology that lets me do both. But if my company is paying me an higher than median wage, and I see things going well at the company I’m with now, I optimize for learning what I can to ask for more money where I am. If I don’t see that happening and I can get more somewhere else or I’m falling too far behind, I’m optimizing for buzzword compliance.

Luckily, right now, everything is in the right place for my current job.

- they are paying me above the local median (we are talking Atlanta here not Silicon Valley)

- the technology stack we are using is not bleeding edge but in the right place in the hype cycle.

- I think they will continue to do so for the next two years.

But you’re right. I’m not going to spend my time learning the latest frameworks if I am not going to use it at my current job and I don’t see myself in the market within six months. But if my company ever got too far behind the market, I would have to start preparing.
So the argument is not invalid, but you take issue with it because you can imagine someone in a worse situation somewhere in the world? I fail to see the point of your comment, this is not a UN hearing regarding some oppressive regime.
