Because it's a democracy with a very well established bureaucratic epidermis that stretches from federal to local level. It's a vast and complex entity that operates on defined rules.

Until trump, the infection of fickle, cynical politics never made it very deep because the folks operating in that bureaucratic layer were career people with operational ethics (and frankly were quite boring-- by design), not nominated people. The sycophants are purging those people now. The rot is making its way deeper into the inner workings of the country like a cancer.

Now they're not afraid of lying because that's what their rulers want them to do. Do whatever it takes to make the boss look good or suffer the consequences. That's the kind of behavior you expect from North Korea. Not the USA.
ok, so I'm not the only person seeing this.

Concerning.

If you are someplace like rural Australia the closest tech might be 1000km away.. if they haven't installed the hacked firmware they can't even service them without a tech or the tractor shuts down.
Say John make a platform right now and set the rule that there's no negotiations permitted. Builders accepting the proposal must accept at the listed price. Obviously there remains a variation in the quality of the different proposals (some builders may be more polite, or use better wood). Obviously, the key difference here is that I would be able to choose what builder I want, but the customer on Uber doesn't get to decide that. So let's place one more restriction: the platform decides which builder gets the job behind the scenes.

Now, would you say that builder is employed by this website? If so, at what point did this turn from self-employment to employment?

> Similar argument for changing toppings on a cake - a caterer can negotiate changes to the cake - an Uber driver has no such flexibility.

If the customer wants a cake for wedding: vanilla with 3 layers and a cherry on top it seems a bit inappropriate to contact them saying "I can't make a vanilla cake but how about chocolate?"

It's a limitation of the platform (limitations made to improve customer experience - imagine if you had to negotiate for every taxi ride, you don't do this for local companies). I'd argue that the hypothetical platform described can set any number of limitations, as long as the builder can hop off and get his work elsewhere at any point.

Really, imo, the key here is how much control the Uber driver has to refuse tasks, and if they can seek the same work elsewhere (eg is Lyft available in the city?). You wouldn't tell your boss "eyy sorry chief, bit tired, gonna head home, give the fare to someone else, byeee!! hangs up" -- but you can on Uber.
So the answer is "put them on the web and do nothing else". Literally nothing else. There is not a single additional step or insight in this "article".

Spectacular result.
People (especially California) would like you to believe that. Uber drivers are rational beings, they know exactly how much money they are making, and they are aware of their taxes.

If Uber paid their Social Security and Medicare taxes, then Uber would just lower their base pay, and the net would stay the same. Or in other words the pay is higher because the driver has to pay those taxes.
>Does that mean that a taxi driver is an employee?

In Europe? (or France in this particular case) yes absolutely. I've never been to a European country where taxi drivers are not employees of regular taxi companies receiving salaries.
> If khat pays more wouldn't it mean you can sell khat and buy food with that money ?

Are you implying that you're going to buy khat from a local source. Then sell it to another local source, despite the fact that there's already a cheaper source, and then buy food that is more or less nonexistent locally, and expensive to import by yourself as a person without a warehouse?
> You do understand I can refer to "the left" and not mean each and every individual who comprises the left, right? Providing such qualifiers shouldn't be necessary.

Sure, but in this case I guess you meant a subset (probably a large one I admit) of the "mainstream" media, plus some liberal talk show hosts/comedians. I'd be wary of judging the "left" through that lens, since TV is a product with its own priorities which only align with political ideologies when they're trying to tap into that market. I'll admit that I only have a handful of close friends and family members of the opposing party, but I try to use them as my barometer if I can instead of TV/online media/internet commenters (obviously polling is different and valid when relevant).

I've heard it argued that depending on the kind and quantity of vegetation in the valley being flooded, the net methane release from so much rotting plant matter may upend the whole carbon balance of the project.

That is not to say that all dams do this, but that consideration is necessary and may require modifying or rejecting certain proposals.
why? the driver of the manned truck is going to comply just as willingly. No way they are going to put their life on the line (unless they own the cargo).
The unmanned truck will cameras and video uploaded, which is stronger evidence than eye witness testimony.
Also police response will be faster on unmanned (they can't call the police during the hold up, you can take the persons cell phone). No way you can stop the distress call from unmanned unless you had an EMP or something.

Sure.

I'm not sure if drivers will be completely eradicated, though. The vehicle may still have an operator for non-highway situations, and given there's already a shortage in truck drivers, perhaps the career will slowly ramp down as automation slowly ramps up. I used to think SDC and automation would be fast and furious, but the opposite has occurred so far.
Some of the criticism in the article is unfair.

Most obviously, the boundaries of source code repositories should be aligned with released modules: if "the system becomes a manifest of the different revisions of the different repositories" the repositories are too fragmented (or the releases too monolithic), if "teams are independent and microservices should be independently deployable" disparate components should not share a monorepo, and in both cases the difficulties are consequences of bad architectural choices, not of branching models.
I liked the birds eye view of this article, but that title
I actually don't fault him (despite my other comments) for writing about 'the most banal things' I put that on the person who is reading that thinks it's more than it is. And seem to celebrate it.

Likewise I remember when someone wrote (don't remember who) how they thought it was great that the janitor put a supply of plastic trash can liners at the bottom of the trash can so they'd be there in supply when needed (and when the trash was emptied by taking the existing filled bag). This is something I had done myself forever. Just seemed obvious. So it's more "what's the big deal why are you making like the janitor has figured out some really ingenious trick'"?

Also the other thing that I would guess bothers people is when they say the same things it would get no notice at all (from friends or in an online comment). So it's more like 'why is this guy getting attention and I am not for these simple thoughts'? (This might have been parodied on SNL as 'deep thoughts by Jack Handy' iirc.
> It does sound like you had a deficient education regarding C. I think that means you needed a better education, however, and I think a lower level language built by and for programmers who know what they are doing should not be dumbed down to the level of badly taught undergrads.

Luckily, I was able to snag a copy of the K&R book early on and basically used that to teach myself the course materials. Unfortunately for the rest of my classmates, that professor's poor teaching made most of them dislike using C, so they suffered when we used it for Operating Systems later.

It may be outdated (I have no clue yet), but I'll check out the Lions Notes you linked. Thanks for sharing it!
Your shed example is not the same as the Uber example.

As described by the court, the driver is not told in advance where the customer is going. They are told exactly how to drive there, and the rate is decided by Uber.

It would be the same as you saying "I want you to build something on my site. Bring your hammer, tools and materials. Call me to find out where. I'll pay you about $20/hr"
I remember reading about some sort of project that was analogizing the economy to nature and talking about balance and I nearly blurted out that there is balance in nature because so much stuff dies all the time. People who want to make the economy more fair naturally want to do it without the equivalent of stuff dying all the time. But nature is not a good analogy for that. Nature as a whole is beautiful and tends toward balance, but it comes at a huge cost to individual participants.

The "Resolve a copyright strike" section of [1] includes:

> There are three ways to resolve a copyright strike:

> [...]

> 3. Submit a counter notification: If your video was mistakenly removed because it was misidentified as infringing, or qualifies as a potential fair use, you may wish to submit a counter notification.

That's not entirely clear whether the copyright strike is removed when you submit a counter notification, or whether the status of the copyright strike is resolved after further proceedings.

I think the strike is removed immediately upon submission of the counter notification, because I think this is the action that moves the dispute fully into the formally defined DMCA takedown legal procedure and out of YouTube's own content ID procedures. But Google's documentation is obviously avoiding any clear statement of user's rights and what's required by law vs by Google policy. Google and the big copyright cartels want the system to continue to function largely on intimidation, and don't want it to be too easy for users to find and exercise the "sue me or fuck off" option they are legally entitled to.

To my knowledge, Kubota doesn't produce harvesting equipment. And their largest agricultural tractor does have a lot of software (I assume it's closed source, haven't found anything to indicate otherwise).

As for running RPi or some other open-source or replacement control software, that's not a trivial thing to implement. Even if an entrepreneur releases a replacement control system, it's risky to install it (down time is expensive). Will they support the farmer? Will they be around in a year or two? Etc.

You claim that they're lying because their sweeteners behave like sugar inside the body. But they didn't claim that their products don't behave like sugar, they only claimed that they don't contain sugar, which is true.

See, this is key. If Uber has to class them as employees, it should also be able to deny them from working on other platforms. It should also be able to set working hours. And deny drivers the ability to refuse rides if they wish to keep their job. It could provide a daily salary and not let drivers decide or see fares.

Because this is what employment typically entails.
Decision Fatigue is like muscle fatigue in that it is mostly due to the waning of glycogen feeding your brain. When the cause is lack of glycogen due to hunger, as in the case of judges who have good snack discipline, they exhibit it just before meal times. When the cause is lack of glycogen from high insulin due to sugary snacks (as provided by your typical startup) you exhibit decision fatigue after you eat candy or drink soda. Exercise helps because it it raises your resting metabolic rate so more glycogen is flowing through your body at any one time. Stimulants help because they increase hormones like epinephrine and norepinephrine which also increase metabolic rate.

There are secondary effects like nutrient deficiencies that can result in low essential neurotransmitters. And also if you stay focused on one thing, I think Troxler Fading can increase the the energy draw your brain needs to stay focused on that one thing.

Probably as important is complexity/uncertainty. If glycogen delivery is your capacity to work, complexity/uncertainty is the primary demand that the work has on your brain. So if you can keep redrawing/refactoring your problem in simple terms, I find you can keep going when others cannot.

Well, numeracy and "fundamental numeracy" / "rudimentary numeracy" leaves a bit of wiggle room. Conditional probabilities and the ability to interpret charts already are quite a bit more advanced than percentages. None of this is really as helpful as Boolean logic for basic programming skills in a high-level language.
HSA is yours to keep forever. I recommend using Fidelity, no fee and access to all the best investment options. You should transfer all funds from an employer sponsored HSA if it's not Fidelity to Fidelity.

Any medical expenses you incur while you have a qualifying high deductible health plan (HDHP) can be expensed anytime in the future from your HSA. What I do is invest all of the HSA funds, and pay for all of the medical expenses with after tax money. I pdf all of the receipts for the medical expenses, and now, if ever in the future I need cash, I can withdraw it from the HSA penalty free since I have proof of the medical expenses. If you don't end up having medical expenses (good luck), and you turn 65, then you can withdraw and pay regular income tax like an IRA/401k (if you need the cash, you should of course use up your IRA/401k first).

I don't even understand how the government plans to prevent fraud if people decide to claim the same health expense multiple times, as you only have to keep tax records for a few years, and the law as it currently is lets you deduct health expenses from anytime in the past at any point in the future.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'not exact' since the article you posted explictly contrasts duck typing with structural type systems of which Go is given as an example.

If the interfaces have only id/value with matching parameters and return types then yes the interfaces would be functionally identical and all objects satisfying one of the interfaces would satisfy the others.
There’s an interesting meta-phenomenon here. I call it automation handcuffs. A platform grows massively due to radically eliminating the policy and bureaucracy infrastructure that others have (YouTube vs typical content distro channels). That same platform is now so big that it has to add back in that bureaucracy and policy that it lacked. However, it’s now so big that it must use automation to solve these problems or else go bankrupt hiring people. In the end, society gets a half-measure. The platform is too big to legalize. The existing players are too small to compete. Users are forced to accept substandard experiences.
There isn't a shortage if you're a hospital. There's a run on the retail supply, and retail restocking will be very limited, if at all. But your local hospital is fine.

Active Scripting was the Powershell before Powershell. Not in a sense that it's a shell scripting language, but in a sense that it's what Windows admins used to wrote scripts more complicated than a batch file.

That thing supports VBScript and JScript out of the box. Most scripts are written in VBS in practice, though.
Exactly. And I think the effect can be even worse when examining our own behavior and state of mind. There are plenty of extremely well-known cognitive biases that tend to effect our own self-examination. It doesn't mean self-examination is bad, but it does mean that more methodical methods of reasoning (like scientific experiments) are important.

The "sugar rush" case has another potential parallel here. It may in fact be the case that parents, when frustrated by their children's hyperactivity, give their children less sugar and in fact observe lower energy levels. Parents may even mistake this for "personal evidence" that "sugar causes hyperactivity" is a good explanation for their observations. But of course, they very well may have just lowered their child's calorie intake, and perhaps sugar itself has no unique effect on hyperactivity.

Another thing to note regarding the sugar misconception is that studies have in fact shown that parents will report their children are more hyperactive if they have been told that their children recently consumed sugar. To me, that's the real nail in the coffin, and it's also not good news for the mode of thinking that goes like "I've observed this feeling in my own life therefore no evidence could possibly show otherwise."

Western countries subsidize agriculture because there are a lot of farmers and they are a powerful voting block. In the US, they are especially influential in low-population states with high senator-to-citizen ratios.

I don't feel I have a good solution to the problem of browser trustworthiness for now but here are some ideas in case anyone can build on them:

- extension developers must upload a fee that gets forfeited if extension does anything shady (seriously? Who would care to make extensions then?)

- Stricter and more granular rules (it soon get to complicated)
Combine prices in particular are just staggeringly high. It's little wonder to me how so many farmers have trouble making ends meet.

If you ever watched Nat Geo tapes in grade school from the 80s, things were much more graphic (and interesting and informative IMO). Somehow Western society has become so sensitive to depictions of violence that even educational films regarding nature are effectively whitewashed.

Our reluctance to produce informative graphic media has given people an unrealistically optimistic view of nature and life. This has warped social values and policy to our detriment.
