I called maybe 20x before "getting" it - the taxi is coming was 100% a lie. They were very likely redlining where I lived.

I paid happily for uber black when it came out - whatever people think of uber costs now - original uber was NOT cheaper than a taxi as I remember - BUT you could actually get it. But I might be wrong - for me, I just wanted to be able to get something so I could avoid owning a car (most of the time bus etc works but not always).
Debugging Software Deployments with Strace
I was going to agree with you that it seemed an unlikely attack vector. But... Craig Wright shows the lengths that people will go to for seemingly no reason other than status.

Did Craig ever get anything? (Other than a whole lot of trouble.) I don't remember if people figured out what his original motive was.

Ah, think of it like this: you behave much differently when you talk to someone you think has loads of money and might be interested in investing in your ideas. That means they're in a position to start making some very interesting connections that they otherwise wouldn't have access to.

The VC model works via reputation. When you take away reputation, you're left with questions like "Should we spend time trying to convince this person to give us money? Will they want unreasonable terms? How long will the process take? What if they string us along but never actually sign a check (which is what happens most of the time anyway)?"

All that said, this is wild speculation. But your comment was a neat prompt for speculation.
could you recommend any articles/tutorials that describe this approach some more?

Bitcoin’s use case for this is limited. If I were to purchase a product or service that might be subject to deplatforming, it’d better be anonymous, or I risk facing the social sanctions instead. “Amezarak’s bitcoin address sent 10BTC to a sex worker, fire him” is not a much better situation.

One major difference is that code comments aren't at all meant for public consumption (even in open sourced code, comments have a very constrained expected audience).

If anything, public documentation is probably a better analogy -- expected audience of developers, but of potentially wildly different experience levels.

And in that case, it's generally fair for say a novice to complain about the lack of examples, clarity,etc.

And these charts are the same -- this is the primary entry point for a novice in the subject, and a helpful tool for experts. A poor chart would be harmful for all expected audiences.
My wife did Mary Kay and they had a clause regarding buy back: They would pay 90% of what you paid to buy it and you'd be blacklisted - you could never by a MK consultant again.

So even if an MLM has that type of program they probably make sure people know it'd be bad for them to exercise it.

I agree with the sentiment of being down on Google, but I just bought a Pixel 4 XL to replace my Pixel XL. They're not perfect, but they're phones that I can get, unlock, root, and actually have some sense of ownership over without any shenanigans.

Why unlock and root? Because I can take full-disk images and restore the phone to an exact bit-for-bit copy. I can use apps like TitaniumBackup and bring over app+data piecemeal or swap out data profiles. I can use F-Droid to manage open-source apps and know that I'm getting something that I can crack open or modify if needed. I can get real insight into what the phone is doing via something like SystemPanel 2 or, worst-case, adb shell and figuring it out myself. I can copy the database from any app without dealing with Content Providers. I can install Magisk modules that give me a decent native shell and use Termux to install other utilities that I need. And ultimately, if I need something not accommodated by stock, I can install a custom ROM.

I don't know how much of that is possible on an iPhone, but from what I hear, it's not much. That may be an OK option if you're willing to lock into the Apple ecosystem and take whatever they give you in exchange for feeling like your phone "just works", but if it's that important, you don't need to give up control -- just grab a cheap flip phone that will always "just work" while you retain the freedom and ability to get what you need out of your $1k pocket computer.

You make reference to protecting mass transit as well as to the cost to consumers. These arguments make sense if there are zero externalities, but unfortunately there are: carbon footprint, both directly as well as second order effects from increased congestion, commercial exploitation of subsidized infrastructure, increased collision risk to cyclists and vulnerable road users, abuse of contract law by preventing independent rate setting and concealing negotiable information, artificially depressed prices fueled by venture capital in order to create a monopoly and capitalize later. These externalities are borne by society at large, so a pure "let the consumer decide" philosophy is not fully justified in this scenario. Some of these externalities apply to taxis as well, which is precisely why regulating and limiting taxis is good, though I think one could do a lot better than the medallion system.

> Redis is rock-solid

I've lost gigabytes of data with Redis; nothing with Postgres. I run both in production.

Redis has a lot of obscure failure modes, lacks transactions (with rollback), and has no query language. For simple stuff where it's okay to lose data regularly, it's fantastic (that's when we use it).

That said, we've been doing more and more with Postgres over time, and less and less with Redis. The benefits of having all of your data in the same storage, transactionally consistent, with a query planner for ad hoc visualizations and reporting is just too great.
The problem is that it is more likely 50y than a decade, the time to build multiple generations of expensive experimental reactors and prototypes.

For me, the sync has been less than perfect (Windows + Android user) on more than one occasion. There used to be a force sync button way back when, but it has since been removed as far as I can tell.

I had to Google a workaround (creating a dummy secure note was one workaround) for the times the sync wouldn't work.

I asked why there was no Force Sync button on their support forums, and was told that they took it out because they want their paying customers to report sync issues with an error report instead of giving them an instant fix via the button.

Needless to say, as someone who has been using and paying for 1PW (upgrades and subs) since around 2008, I was not impressed with that response.

To me, the Windows and Android clients seem to be second-class citizens compared to their Apple counterparts.

>"What we've collected from drivers isn't enough and we want more from Uber.."

Or its fundamentally correct under the law and Uber has misclassified its drivers as independent contracts whereas they should properly be classified as employees.

After all Uber did disclose this was significant risk in their S-1, and further that such a reclassification could be an existential threat to the business.

It sounds conspiratorial, but now that they have gone public (and investors have cashed out and dumped the bag) the money that was roadblocking these moves by government (note the article makes it clear NJ has been pursuing these taxes for 4 years) has dried up and governments will begin to act. Its no surprise to anyone in the know, just follow the money (in this case the shorts)

So a reference card, which came with an horrendous, insufficient cooling solution.

The experience has been much better for those that bought the custom cards (such as sapphire pulse/nitro) later. They also got far more mature drivers to start with.

I didn't feel it needed substantiation because I'm interested in discussing 1pass vs lastpass on a business level, not a technical level. I tested it over a year ago, so any complaint could well be out of date. I found it to have less features, was more buggy on android, and didn't really detect usernames and passwords on forms as well as lastpass. I used it for a few days and just couldn't come to terms with it.
Abuse is another one.

Note how you almost never see spam on GitHub. And you can effortlessly cross-reference issues across repos and notify other users by mentioning them. That works, because global view across all repos makes spotting and blocking abuse easier, and moderation is possible thanks to the business side subsidizing it.

Contrast that with WordPress trackbacks. They're all spam. And blog comments are full of spam too, because individual operators don't have know-how to fight them, other than outsourcing spam filtering to… a centralized service.

Thanks for an informative comment. I assume that if a wind turbine has to be replaced every 20th year, then it stands to reason that the turbines in a nuclear reactor has to be replaced just as often? Especially since they are driven by steam and must be spinning very fast.
You're still not getting it.

We already know where crime is occurring. We don't need an AI model for that.

People aren't arguing about not using biased data, they're arguing that the model needs to be designed and trained so that the bias in the data doesn't affect the predictions in the model. And yes, that means deliberately de-engineering bias out of the model, which may involve introducing a counter-bias.

For example, you and others kept bringing up race earlier as a legitimate bias for criminal profiling. But socioeconomic status is far more correlated with propensity to commit criminal acts than race. A model of crime in LA based on race, for example, would assume that people in Ladera Heights are just as likely to commit crime as people in South LA because they have the same race...but Ladera Heights has a fraction of the crime as South LA (and several times the average income). Similarly, you would expect South LA to have less crime than the largely Caucasian Joshua Tree or Fontana...but both cities have higher crime rates than South LA, and for a period were some of the most dangerous cities in California. (Joshua Tree was the inspiration for, and original setting of, Breaking Bad. Fontana used to be known as the Felony Flats.)

I think it's a bit harsh to call an article by, for, and about British and Australian map-making "privileged" and "west-centric" in the sense that it's tautological. It would be another whole article, and a fascinating one, to track civilian mapping in India from the British occupation to Lonely Planet guides. I encourage you to follow up on this idea, either to research and write it yourself or find others who can (maybe even write to the article's author to raise your point and suggest it).

My experience in India as a student backpacking there 20 years ago was that tourist maps were inadequate, the LP guide was worth its price for the city maps alone, and locals on the street couldn't read either kind to help you. I don't know if it was illiteracy or just unfamiliarity, but outside of hotels and tourist centers, about half the people we asked on the street were baffled by a map and unable to orient themselves on it to help us. I'm sure they knew their way around, we just couldn't communicate with words (expected) or pointing at maps (unexpected).

There is a sibling comment that says in some cases there were also military reasons. I don't know about India, but I did run across this in Ecuador. To get a topographic map to climb a volcano, we had to find the Military mapping office and show our passports. Obviously, they wanted some control over the cartographic information. Now, world-wide topographic maps are available on google maps with terrain turned on. The data for which I believe was obtained by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission in 2000:

True, and the general consensus is if you want to make a start-up in this industry just don't. It's more likely you'll end up on a future episode of Forgotten Weapons.

I can definitely understand not wanting to invest in these sorts of start-ups purely from an ROI perspective.
I looked into this in depth once.

Basically if you look at the very early wind turbines in northern california, which the number comes from originally, these turbines had blades about 20 feet long, and spun very, very fast to produce any kind of power. Almost like a slow blender. Blades would rotate once per second of faster. They were very obviously dangerous even to the casual observer.

This was 20+ years ago during the infancy of the industry.

This is in contrast to all modern turbines, those built after ~2005, which is to say, well over 99%, it can take over 15 seconds for a blade to sweep through one revolution. Getting hit by one of these blades is unfortunate, but causes significantly less damage.

Comparing a Gen 1 "blender turbine" and a Gen 2 modern "sweeper turbine" is almost criminal when doing bird impact studies.

Finally the state of california quietly disabled the blender turbines as they were both very expensive to maintain being first gen technology and more importantly they were generating the bulk of bird strike fatalities and grossly inflating the number of bird fatality numbers for the global industry. The replacement of these ~20 blender turbines was 3 sweeper turbines and you'll note since the decommissioning of the last of the blender turbines, bird strikes for turbines fell off a cliff.
I have mixed feelings. I agree that "y-axis should start at zero" should not be been as a sacred guideline by any means. But I reflexively feel that in the context of a data viz library, the default should be zero; thus requiring the user to explicitly set a minimum when needed, and to conscientiously do so.

But I do realize that practically speaking, it is much easier to set a y-axis to 0 (i.e. a constant value), rather than having to calculate the y-min or near-y-min for every chart.

Hi, this was flagged to the editors, and a correction is coming. Thank you for spotting this problem! -Katie, Knowable Magazine
Not OP, but my gut agrees with his. Very tricky issue and I don't think anyone can say who is "right", so I fall back to one universal principle to inform my opinion here, as well as a general societal observation.

The principle: moderation is almost always best. This applies to food and exercise, to work/life balance, to sex and drugs, and everything in between. Pornography consumption generally does not represent "moderation" of sex, but the extreme end of it - you crave sexual stimulation so badly that you resort to watching other people having their sexual urges fulfilled (which can then make the porn consumer less motivated to pursue healthy avenues to achieve their own sexual fulfillment, leading to a downward spiral). People will always be drawn to porn because sex is the one "addiction" that almost everyone is born with, but having a thin healthy layer of public shame helps to encourage people not to go too far down the rabbit hole.

Societal observation: society seems to be becoming shallower, more transactional, particularly in the realm of dating. In my opinion, unrealistic expectations of each other in a sexual context is one of the biggest causes of this, because when those expectations go unmet people move on to the next person they find on some app, instead of investing time into building a relationship and seeing if it can work (and growing themselves as a result of that investment). I think pornography contributes to these unrealistic expectations, and thus to making society more shallow.

I'm always cautious to dive into this too much in today's political climate, but I also think there are significant societal downsides to the more extreme levels of sexual liberation that are rapidly becoming normalized in American society (possibly all of western society, but I'm a bit too ignorant to speak on that). I think pornography contributes to this as well.
I have upgraded from Nexus 4 to Nexus 6p to Pixel 3 and have never started off fresh. Have factory reset my phone a couple of times and have been able to restore where I was. So I can't relate to you to what you are saying.

If they're not considered employees, I don't see how they could claim unemployment.

And if that's the case, this statement from TFA makes no sense:

> The money that they’re not paying into the unemployment and disability systems is being picked up by the states and the taxpayers.

Because there's nothing to be "picked up" if those workers don't qualify for unemployment and job-related disability.

I get the argument about having more freedom when you're not an employee. But these people are generally getting screwed, I think.
