I did this in the ocean once about 200m off the shore (at that point I wasn’t really in trouble and just wanted a rest) and the waves were too high and I ended up eating a lot of salt water and nearly choking and sinking. It put me in a far worse situation than had I stayed off my back.

The French court doesn't buy your interpretation of "There is no expectation that either side will come back for more.", the mere existence of a vetting system and a rating system show Uber expected drivers to come back. The profession of driver isn't new and wasn't invented by Uber.

Uber just found a way around local labour (and tax) laws and a European government, who's getting the downside of the tech company but no fiscal or technological upside, stepped in.

The CEO of Google Cloud is the former President of Product Development at Oracle Corporation. Oracle Corporation has a reputation for being incredibly hostile to their customers, which includes things like "finding creative new ways to charge our customers more money. I mean, what are they going to do, switch to Postgres? lol"

I think the fundamental problem is that Google Cloud's reputation is irreparably harmed by Google's overall reputation among developers. Treating this like a tactical or technical problem ("our solution is the best and cheapest!") is missing the forest for the trees.
I have some very young nephews. As well as teaching them how to swim, we're teaching them how to flip over and float, just for this reason. If they can do that, and recognise when they're in trouble, then it might just save their lives one day.

2) even if they do, that doesn't mean a single thing without any kind of supporting evidence.

Yeah, it's funny that people always seem to neglect these factors. If you account for food yield per acre, fertilizer input, and the amount of land required for any significant number of people to live like this, it starts to look silly.
In Brazil the federal law L12468 [1] regulates the taxi driver profession.
The federal law L8078 [2], known as the Consumer Protection Code, protects (as the name says) the consumer in any transaction, be it products or services.
The section 39 subsection 9 states that:

"Art. 39. É vedado ao fornecedor de produtos ou serviços, dentre outras práticas abusivas:

[...]

IX - recusar a venda de bens ou a prestação de serviços, diretamente a quem se disponha a adquiri-los mediante pronto pagamento, ressalvados os casos de intermediação regulados em leis especiais"

In a free translation:

"Art. 39. The supplier of products or services is prohibited, among other abusive practices:

[...]

IX - to refuse the sale of goods or the provision of services, directly to anyone who is willing to acquire them upon prompt payment, except in cases of intermediation regulated in special laws"

This is just an example of how the law structure can be so different between countries. Brazil as France are based on the civil law, instead of common law as in the United States.

I really don't know how is in France and I am not saying it is like Brazil. I'm just saying that with so many countries in the world doesn't make sense to expect the rest of the world to be like your home.

No, the world wouldn't "fall apart" if services like Youtube cease to exist, it just would suck more than it does now, for me at least. And that's true for many things like that: Google Maps, Search, Mail.

Because in either situation (with and without Youtube) there are drawbacks, the question then becomes one of weighing those, rather than blindly deciding to rollback.

That's fair. I suppose the next question would be what it would take to get the committee to stop kicking the can down the road and actually vote to break ABI, since "considered" is a fairly weak promise. Perhaps they're waiting to see what people come up with?
I've noticed something similar between Instagram and Facebook. However, I get much more engagement on Instagram stories (300 followers) than Facebook stories (1.8k followers). Like, consistency 10x more views and engagement. So there's more to it than just the format, I think.

> Structural typing is a static typing system that determines type compatibility and equivalence by a type's structure, whereas duck typing is dynamic and determines type compatibility by only that part of a type's structure that is accessed during run time.

That sounds like static vs. dynamic implementations of the same thing.

Wait, is the Itanium ABI not the amd64 ABI? I thought that the 64-bit x86 ABI was called the Itanium ABI despite Itanium having gone kaput.

> Golang furthers the notion of capabilities as shared method signatures, by loosely binding this into interfaces, and enforcing many errors by static type checks at compile time.

This, I think, is the main point of the parent comment.

I think the distinction (and overlap) come into focus when you think computationally: how is a type computed? Type semantics are determined by the type checker, and Go's interface types are checked at compile time. Duck type checking happens at runtime. There's no language support in Go for this, but the closest thing would be passing a bunch of empty interfaces around and using the stdlib's reflect package everywhere so that you never panic, but sometimes return a user-generated TypeError.

Sure, Go's interfaces allow clients to accept multiple concrete types, but that's checked at compile time, not runtime, and so it will never be duck typed.
I agree, and the difference is easy to illustrate.

quack() in duck typing, has to have no arguments and return a string (let's say). We can have a NotarizedDuck class where quack(true) instead returns the number of times the NotarizedDuck has quacked, so long as quack() itself returns a string, it will pass the unit test.

In structural typing, it's illegal to call that quack, because it's the wrong function signature.
and do you find powershell to be a simpler alternative? i recently had to look into a 100 or so lines powershell script and it felt crazily hard to read. Good thing I had access to the guy who wrote it so that he just told me what it was supposed to do (he gave up explaining the script)

Detroit says hi
It's true that this law impacts the smaller players much more than the larger ones. That was pretty much inevitable.

But I'm fine with that, for two reasons. First, the smaller players aren't good guys -- they're engaging in this bad behavior as well, so it's fine for them to get dinged even if the big guys get a smaller ding. Second, the law is a first step that will hopefully lead to future, better, more restrictive laws that will have a greater impact on the big players.

We have to start somewhere, and the CCPA is just that -- a start.
I'd settle for a business-law-mandated access to legal recourse, and forced accountability of platforms (any platform, not just Youtube. If a US platform bans your content, you should have legal recourse in the US, not "a black hole unless you know someone on the inside", and not "a web form no human ever reads"), instead of competition.

After all, you can't compete on "we have a better legal process": if your selling point is is "once things have gone wrong, and we already ruined your day, at least your recourse is better than at Youtube", you don't have a selling point.

French law only requires a "relationship of subordination" to qualify someone as an employee. The press release is very short and explains why the French court considers that an Uber’s driver is in a relationship of subordinate.

> Drivers who use the Uber application do not build up their own clientele, do not freely set their rates, and do not determine the terms and conditions of providing their transportation service. The company imposes the itinerary and the driver’s fare is adjusted if this itinerary is not followed. The destination is unknown to the driver, thereby revealing that the driver cannot freely choose the route that suits him/her.
Ah yes, they could have continued to be unemployed in their soon to be flooded apartment if they had only restrained themselves.
> Even the food they grow themselves requires a lot of external inputs which are shipped in via far flung transportation networks

The author of the article noted they got their fertilizer from a neighbor. A lot of small farmers get dung of some sort from locals and spread it.

>The distributed electricity and water and transportation are less efficient

Many (most?) homesteaders are off-grid, so not sure this applies either. I think you might be conflating "rural" living with homesteading, which are different. That said, I imagine per capita efficiency is probably more efficient in cities as you said. It all kind of depends on what you do. If you are a rural homesteader and don't drive anywhere and don't fly anywhere, then that's already a big chunk of impact reduced.
To be honest, I hit my tl;dr threshold on the article, and skimmed only the high level. But speaking personally, I've used vim-tmux-navigator[1] and some related setup on the tmux side[2a][2b] for years, and it's really, really nice. CTRL-{H,J,K,L} navigates seamlessly between vim splits and tmux panes. It works flawlessly, and I wouldn't be without it.

Put another way, there are a lot of tmux users who take advantage of it for its terminal pane management features on a local environment rather than the classic remote-session stability use case ala screen. In that light, some kinds of integration make a ton of sense.

These days, it vaguely annoys me that I can't just navigate between OS (macOS, here) windows by keyboard just as seamlessly. I haven't quite gotten around to solving the problem with Hammerspoon[3] yet.

Looks like you have run up against a shortcoming of git itself. I accept that you may need to store the data on your end for those reasons. If this is the case it might be worth having that in the FAQ too, and convince me that you ensure a decent uptime and that you can export the data nicely if you want to move on later.

Good luck with it. Hope it does well.
A copyright violation does not just remove your right to monetize the content, it also removes your right to determine if the content is monetized. The copyright holders who claimed infringement can decide to allow the content and force it to be monetized for their profit.

Uber and Lyft dominate the market as far as I'm aware in the US and neither of them have shown much enthusiasm for these kind of laws afaik.
Laws are, kinda by definition, highly legible. Reality is fuzzier.

Whether or not Uber drivers fall under current legal definitions of "employee," I think they obviously do fall into the common sense definition that should be regulated under labour laws.

Reality doesn't fall neatly into categories, which is why laws tend to have tons of details and exceptions. Some labour is day labour, piecemeal, etc. Labor laws do deal with these, they now need to deal with "uber-like" arrangements.

> No, their take is to refuse to allow socially harmful monopolies to exist just because they already do.

How is youtube being the most popular video site (a monopoly I assume you're arguing there) socially harmful? And is that harm more than the benefits it brings?

> The problem is that Google want YouTube to own everything to do with video, and don't want to take any responsibility for making that work at the scale they want to profit from.

If it was very profitable and technically possible to build a similar system but better, we'd have that. The fact that instead the opposite is happening (consolidation) seems to suggest that whatever Youtube is doing is working, as a solution to this problem (large free third party video hosting site).

> There's no good reason for YouTube to be there for hosting personal videos, music videos, education videos, vlogs, game streaming, and a bajillion other things.

And you get to decide that for all the people that enjoy those clips and want to host them?

> There's no good reason not to have more humans involved in assessing and tidying up when "the algorithm" fucks it up.

Other than hurting the bottom line probably not. But the bottom line is what determines if something like this gets built. If it was sufficiently profitable and feasible to build alternatives that do a lot more human reviewing of all these videos then it would already be done so.
I'm running my own on bare metal dedicated servers. You will need to install a few extra things (MetalLB for LoadBalancer, CertManager for SSL, an ingress controller (nginx, Ambassador, Gloo), and one of the CSI plugins for your preferred storage method). It is extra work but as a personal cluster for hobby work, I'm paying $65/mo total for the cluster. Same specs would probably be $1000/mo at a public cloud provider.

I'm sure that education helps quite a lot.

I would love to have a small homestead (e.g. 1 acre) and I am currently in the process of finding a property to buy. I have been looking for about 6 months now for an appropriate place and it is quite difficult. Perhaps it is just the region I live in but the prices are ridiculous and the majority (like 99%) of available residential real-estate properties are cookie-cutter suburban homes embedded within suburban sprawl. The modern world is just not developed around the idea of people having gardens and chickens.

When I started looking I naively assumed I could find a rural property with high-speed internet within proximity of a small town. I even have extremely low expectations on the quality of the house and would take a quarter acre lot with a home built in the 1960's. I've been out to see probably 50 properties with my agent and it is like a non-stop crushing disappointment.

Still, the dream of living on my own quarter acre and working remotely is worth the effort. I just feel like the article glosses over the first hurdle: finding an appropriate property within a like-minded community. Depending on where you plan to live that could be significantly more difficult than you expect.
