If both companies are approaching bankruptcy trying to outlast the other, wouldn't the lesser evil be a world with a ride-share monopoly rather than a world without (large scale) ridesharing?

With the amount of people that use these rideshare companies as their primary job or to make their daily commute, it seems hard to imagine going back to the pre-Uber/Lyft days. Not that the government or any regulatory body would see it this way. I just think consumers are better off with a monopoly here. Plus, whatever rideshare service that survives will still have to compete with local taxi companies.
> Granted, infinite sets like aleph-0 and -1 are typically considered both open and closed

This statement is meaningless. It makes no sense to speak of whether a set is open or closed outside the context of a topology.

Also, like... in any topological space of the sort we usually deal with (specifically: T_1 spaces), any open set must be infinite, as any finite set is closed? So I'm really not sure what you're thinking of here. (And in something like Euclidean space -- or a manifold -- any open set must be uncountably infinite...)

(Also, as others have already mentioned, "closed" here doesn't mean "closed" in the sense of point-set topology; "closed manifold" means a compact manifold [without boundary, if manifolds with boundary are being considered]. Yes, this is a bit confusing at first.)
I think the tenor of what you're trying to express is that smart kids shouldn't be abused for being smart. Not a controversial opinion.

Making them unnecessarily cut off from everyone else who isn't quite as "gifted" is worse, in a way. How is that kid going to get out of his/her bubble?
I have several friends from Xinjiang, yes, they complain about some (who don't complain about their government in life? As far as I know, Utopia is still a dream on the planet), but they feel good, even proud of their government. One of them, a girl, even volunteered in the rehearsal for the National Day parade.

For Tibetan, the government freed them from the old cult (you may don't know their nobles used to wear slave skin clothes and drink from human skull bowl), build railways accelerate their economy, lower the university score for them to help them get educated, enfranchise them to vote, propose new proposal in People's Congress, etc. So how do they feel about their government? I mean those Tibetans who live in China.

What's more, Tibetan, Muslims in western China, they are all Chinese people, so their issue IS the Chinese government's own business.
I can't make the sense of the author's graphs. Is he plotting daily boardings on both the X and Y axes simultaneously? Aside from bus vs. streetcar, what do the varying colors mean?
Who's going to give them more captial to build autonomous cars?
It's possible the reason for that is that the original assessment was well-calibrated. But if you want to see more opportunities for misidentified students to prove their worth then why not argue for that instead of making every class the dumb class?
My guess is the photoelectric effect if its a MEMS device
I use Uber and don't have any inclination to switch because the price difference is negligible. I also Uber to the airport maybe 1-2 times a year. So it's rarely used and there's little benefit to switching. Why change?
There is even a movie about that "The Joneses"
Is there an automated way to get it to self-destruct sooner? Like every 12 or 24 hours?
For the “changing routes” problem, I like trolleybuses, which won’t be reconfigured and don’t smell like diesel. Real estate near the wires can get the usual infrastructure boost. Dual-mode trolleybuses can also extend service past where the wires are and you still get the advantage of not stopping to charge. The power stations can be reused for a train as well. Dedicated ROW in a city center is mandatory regardless of vehicle if you want reliable service.

Toronto seems like a bit of an unfair example when you compare sheer ridership because it’s bigger than all but five US cities.
Seriously this is a topic that I can’t imagine having to think about :-/

I really hope that there’s support in place for people who have to work on this, even if they aren’t exposed the actual abuse.
The leader of a mob spouts irrational things, not logic or sound reasoning. The goal is to inspire outrage and offence not present sound solutions. Stir up strife and ignite passion in the masses.

This is why they use irrationality as a weapon.
Good job to Cloudflare for doing this.

But wait, they were giving out thousands of dollars for submitting ... Internet links? How did I miss this? I love searching for obscure things online, and could've made some easy $ with this. Hopefully something like Project Jengo is started again with another patent troll firm.

> Uber has only made finding the ride more efficient but it has not made the actual ride itself more efficient.

Back when Uber was new and everyone in SF was exclaiming how awesome it was and disruptive, one of the major taxi companies in Stockholm launched a new version of their app that basically had a big button going "I want a taxi to my location now", and you pressed it, and you got a "Hey, your taxi will arrive in X minutes".

And that's like the entire value of Uber right there, replicated cheaply by local competition.
Wouldn't people leak out information about it just like this journalist did?
There are a few reasons to not rely on unofficial forks. The chance of malicious code is one. Also: unwanted changes, missing updates, maintenance confusion...

These issues already exist in the world of open source, as you note, and the only way that I know of to stop it would be to have a more restrictive license (and to pursue any violations).

> Pro trolls don’t become irrational.

Yes, they do. They want their followers to behave irrationally, so they lead with it. A group of well considered and thoughtful people can change their mind with new evidence and information.

A pro-troll doesn't want that, they want blind devoted followers that repeat a message blindly, loudly and often.
Considering all the taxes car owners pay in Switzerland, such as street tax, the vignette, fuel tax (which gets completely misappropriated, for public transportation no less, while the car owners sit in traffic jams every day), how are private cars subsidized? The "milk cow" initiative caused a scandal when it was found out that the money drivers have been paying for years in fuel taxes was being misappropriated to fill budget holes elsewhere for decades! How are cars subsidized?
No need for two models.

Make it so that it has four food tanks, which it cycles through. This way, so you can provide some variety for the cat.

Have the four food tanks arranged so that two are on the left side, one above the other. Similar for the right side.

The 0 hour feeding comes from the bottom left tank, the 6 hour feeding from top left, the 12 hours from bottom right, and the 18 hour from top right.

Associated with each top tank is a lever or dial with two settings: feed or skip.

The outputs from the top tanks go to a forked chute, with the level controlling which fork is taken. The "feed" fork leads to the bowl for the cat. The "skip" fork leads to the bottom tank on that side.
It's not that it was made to work only in Chrome - it was only tested in Chrome. Whether or not it worked in other browsers didn't matter. That's EXACTLY what I'm trying to point out, it's not a bad example it's literally the example that made me comment in the first place.

The other browsers are very standards compliant, doesn't matter - still broke.
But that's exactly what happens in the world though. In some poorer countries like China, street vendors are literally using gutter oil to make food.

If you want rules to be respected then you must be able to enforce them. Poorer places just can't afford to enforce those rules. If rules aren't enforced equally then people won't follow them, because if they have additional costs that their competition doesn't then they'll likely be outcompeted.
Weren't a lot of people on Twitter complaining that this is basically insufficient? Most of the information about you that can be profitably mined to create "insights" about you expire in less than a month, these people claim. By having Google auto-delete them in three months, it could provide some peace of mind to you, but it doesn't really affect Google's ability to target you in ads.
The problem with advanced placement / gt / etc is that just like the broader educational system it assumes everyone learns the same just a lot faster. In my own experience, and I get it, this is purely anecdotal: the three smartest people I know, and by smart I mean like off the charts genius level, all were recognized early as being beyond what even gt was going to do for them. They were all taken aside and basically told: you have Carte Blanche to do Whatever you want, go to the library and learn what interests you. Now, I ask you this: why should that gift only be afforded to kids who are so off the charts the teachers don’t know what else to do with them? Why not focus on getting kids the structure and discipline and desire to learn that they can go seek the same path if they want to do it?
I'm a car enthusiast, so much so that my daily driver is a 589 HP car. I pay through the nose to own my cars, and nothing will stop me from loving them. I rode public transport for 16 years and hated it, I'll never ride it of my own free will. Are you saying that loving cars is bad?
> The combined state and federal rate is not >50% either, and any calculator that claims otherwise is lying.

Why are you so confident here? The top CA marginal rate is 13.3%. Top federal marginal rate is 37%. Medicare tax is 1.45%. simple addition gives a top marginal rate for wage income of 51.75%. I have no idea how your accountant can get that lower.
