I mean, "influencing the web" or otherwise, they accept heaps and heaps of patches that aren't about their core business. The Chromium project is really healthy.

They can fork, but they probably won't need to. Even if they wanted to maintain an entirely separate shell, it is basically trivial to link such a thing in to Chromium.

Nobody values liquidity until they absolutely need it. Transfer of liquidity risk IS value creation, and absolutely necessary for a well functioning economy.

Two Issues

First, the problem is described in the article but not specifically called out

It is Bait-and-Switch.

The initial wages are rather generous, enough to get workers to move to their platform from other potential employers.

The initial rate of $22 to deliver a basket of groceries looks pretty doable, and if you can do a couple per hour, likely reasonably profitable.

Now it's down to $3. Not even close to any minimum or sustainable wage.

They committed to one sort of condition, and then are screwed, sunk costs, missed opportunities, etc.

This has happened even worse under Uber, where drivers took out car loans assuming one pay structure, then Uber changes the deal...

Second, the trope that if someone accepts a low payment, it must be OK.

At a theoretical level, that might be true, but the theory makes the bad assumption that all actors in the economy have equal power in the transaction. This assumption is massively false.

The vast difference in power between these workers vs the SV corps is exactly what allows the exploitation. The choice to be exploited is only marginally less horrible than the other choices.

For a clearer and more extreme example, you are lost in a desert dying of dehydration, I drive by with a 5gal jug of water and a map to guide you to safety. I say: "hand over the title to your house and I'll give you both" - will you do it? Of course you will, losing your house is less bad than losing your life. Does that mean that it is a free and fair transaction? Not even close.

What forces them to take the job is the paucity of other options.

There's plenty of research on how poverty is extremely expensive, and these companies are exploiting that.

I was actually chatting to some friends about this the other day.

I personally would love to go skydiving but I wouldn't get sponsored for it because it isn't actually hard. Unlike running a marathon for instance, it doesn't require any preparation on my part or any superhuman effort, just a lot of cash.

I think most people who do feats of endurance for charity (marathons, cycling, mountaineering, etc) would probably like to do it anyway but it's fair to ask for sponsorship money because of the effort involved.

>The ones who think it would reduce their quality of life are just being ignorant. They don't understand the possibilities.

I'm not willing to give people that benefit of the doubt. Deep down, people are loss averse, and will tell themselves whatever about the second coming or make up conspiracies to do it. The real cause is people don't want to give up single family homes with garages and SUVs on quarter+ acre lots. People don't want to give up annual vacations to tropical destinations.

> The future is already here; it's just not evenly distributed.

It's not evenly distributed because the costs aren't felt evenly. Fossil fuels are portable, they start on demand in a variety of weather or time of day, and they have all the infrastructure already setup to use them. They're good at what they do. But until the environmental costs aren't incorporated into the financial costs of fossil fuels, I don't see what would motivate people to move away from them.

I don't, but if I had no other choice and needed to sign up to such a site I'd consider making one (or trying a real one with sensitive info redacted and see if that passes), along with other anonymity precautions.

The law is IMO the least of your concerns here (you are not stealing or causing harm to anyone, so very little incentive for someone to look into it), the fallout when your real ID leaks like what happened here would be a much bigger concern especially for LGBT performers in certain regions.

Regarding credit cards, using a prepaid one or a service such a Privacy.com is enough so no fakery needed there.
What I really want is an app that goes through all my photos/chat history and deletes anything that might contain sensitive information after 30 days, such as from screenshots. I already use the iMessage feature that lets you delete history after 30 days, but I wish I could pretty much do this for everything. There are some things I might want to keep (like photos, for example), but I'd prefer to just have anything private deleted automatically. If it's information I really want to save, I'll make sure to save it somewhere safe.
The headline is deceptive or perhaps poorly worded. The NYT evidently verified the plane was shot down by a missile fired within Iran's borders. That's it. Whether Iran itself was an active participant iss not something the NYT could have verified.

I'm being selective because this involves journalism, and words matter.
No NYT was able to track down the person that posted that video on telegram and that individual got them in contact with the original videographer and the NYT verified those people.

As a driver for Uber, the gig economy exemplar, you provide the capital. With debt bondage, the land lord (lender) provides the capital. On very unfavorable terms, sure. But Uber is stealing your savings. Transferring wealth from your past vs future self.

I didn't say anything about shoppers (consumers). But since you mentioned it, in the concessionaire model, the host controls the choices. Sure, you can opt out or smuggle your own stuff in. But sometimes you want a cold beer and a hot dog.

Sure, you can always go solo. Try to keep more of the surplus (profit) for yourself. Try to succeed in your own marketplace of one. Many jurisdictions make that hard. But some manage it.

> I think in general most people in society don't really have the ability to differentiate bullshit science from real science.

I would say in many ways they can't, at least not without significant time investment every time they need to make that assessment, which is often.

A domain expert is likely able to identify the smell of bullshit in their field extremely quickly. An expert in an adjacent domain will be able to apply some of their expertise, but not all, and sniff out some problems, but other might elude them. That is, a physicist might be able to note some likely problematic parts of statements to do with biology based somewhat on the science, somewhat on the shared methodology, and somewhat on the shared politics they might experience.

A layperson may have very little experience to draw upon for some scientific statement, and even when they have experience with the underlying principles (a general interest in the area, experience in college), that may not be enough to identify problem areas. That's not a problem we can expect the layperson to be responsible for correcting (at least not beyond a healthy skepticism), unless we expect them all to increase their knowledge in every domain that they might make an assessment about (this happens, but it happens at a societal level, and over the span of many years).

Psychology seems to share relatively little with most hard sciences, so it's particularly hard for both laypeople and scientists in other fields to assess without effort (as evidenced here though the multiple stories of people that put in that actual effort).

I'm not sure we'll see improvement on this issue until we have better norms about communicating results. There's a natural inflation that happens when different parties take a finding and explain it, and possibly over-emphasize portions of it. That this happens twice now, once with the PR department associated with the group doing the study and once by the media that goes by what the PR department say, means that the average person gets a very distorted view of what's actually going on.
TerminusDB 1.1 - the Big Babushka! So happy to put this out. It could almost be a 2.0, but given that we are a young DB, we want to save those release numbers for future exciting developments (I did see another DB on release 0.50.0 - I won’t name names, but come on folks, give us a 1.0!).

The major development is our new storage backend, terminus-store. With the introduction of the new store, TerminusDB takes a radical departure from traditional database architectures. Our approach has three parts:

1. We have a graph database with strong schema to retain simplicity and generality
2. The graph is implemented using succinct immutable data structures which enable more sparing use of main memory resources.
3. We adopt a delta encoding approach to updates (‘like git, but for data’) which provides the whole suite of revision control features: branch, merge, squash, rollback, blame, and time-travel facilitating CI/CD approaches on data.

This final point is crucial - with TerminusDB we can now use advanced CI/CD workflows in data operations. The large impact of git on the software development world can now be envisioned in the world of data. This is made possible by synergies between an immutable layered approach and the succinct data structure approach that we’ve used for encoding. The DevOps revolution becomes the DataOps revolution.

In addition to the new backend, we have a re-imagined console, our query language WOQL has been extended and, importantly, we have a Python Client. We are the database for data people and there are no more data people than Pythonistas.

I like the idea of biodiversity as much as the next person but the climate paradigm is we have to do something or we're all going to die. "Green" causes are not guaranteed to align with each other and when they come head to head I think we should favor the one that is about continuing to exist over the one that is fundamentally an aesthetic or philosophical concern, the fruits of which we will be unable to enjoy if we die out.
Whose Curve Is It Anyway?
This study was published in 1999 and while it is a wonderful example of incentives gone awry, it’s also dated.

Per the article, “All charity parachuting in our study was apparently done by static line methods from 2500± 3000 feet.” [1] Static line parachuting means the participant jumps solo and a cord automatically opens the parachute for them when they exit the plane. It’s very different than skydiving tandem, which is far more common these days and much safer.

That still doesn’t mean that skydiving for charity makes any sense financially. It strikes me as absurd that people who want to skydive collect money from friends under the expectation that a small percentage of the donated funds make their way to a charity —- £30 per jump for the NHS, though apparently more for other organizations. [2]

But then this comes from a country that is trying to convince the rest of the world that wearing a clown nose for a day is a charitable act. [3]

Y’all can’t just give for the sake of giving? ;-)

That seems like a distinction without a difference.
We should absolutely reforest on a large scale, but we also need to drastically cut emissions, and pursue other carbon sequestration strategies (olivine weathering for example).

I'm not sure trying to convert desert into forest is even a good idea. Some of these deserts have been around a long, long time and harbor their own unique organisms. And as the article mentions it could cause unpredictable disruptions in weather patterns.

It seems pretty clear that right now there isn't any one silver bullet strategy that is going to avert climate disaster. We absolutely have to reduce emissions and increase carbon sequestration to get to net-zero, then we need to go further into net-sequestration of carbon.
I find it hard to believe that you are surprised. I find myself awash in woo psychology from all media outlets and individuals I talk to. If what you are selling is what people want to hear, then they are more than happy to not bother to look at it any closer.

The thing people really want to hear is that they are not responsible for the consequences of their actions. This is what "personality" tests do. They say that it's not our fault if we behave in a clearly destructive manner because it's our inherent personality and we are powerless to change it. This is clearly nonsense, but the absolution of guilt and pressure to admit our mistakes is so desired that gullible folks are happy to swallow it without a second thought.

Parachute jumping for charity is not cost-effective in raising money, as the cost of treatment of the 11% who are injured is far in excess of any money raised by the rest.

There analysis is correct. They looked across all charity parachutists, the medical costs for those injured versus total amount raised.

How can it put a burden on the NHS?

Of 105 patients admitted to hospital, 66 (63%) required operative intervention.

Can you imagine the 1 or 2 hospitals dealing with this? The system overall can deal with it, but not the local providers.

This seems like a very basic introduction to bash, which is fine, but I was hoping for something called "Understanding Bash" to help with some of the understanding about why it behaves so weirdly at times.

For me, the biggest problem when writing bash is when I need to do something just a little more complex than what is there, but there is no good way to do it. An example that usually trips me up is this: https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/050.

FWIW, the above link is probably the most useful thing I have found that actually helps me understand bash.

It sounds like you're using autocomplete as a substitute for a tool you'd like, but doesn't exist.
The license only refers to the software, for what I understand, and doesn't say anything about the outputs. The completion runs on your machine unless you explicitly set up a cloud account. They explicitly explain how you can make sure your code never reaches their servers if you don't want it to. Even if they suddenly claimed IP on your code, I really don't see how that could be held up in court.
