I'm not sure what point you're debating here, the question is about "either side" expecting to come back. In this case the drivers who provide the service are expected to come back, hence the vetting and rating. It establishes a relationship that extends beyond a single trip or "job".

"You never believed but when you cook food from home grown vegetables, it tastes a whole different than the bought one"

I was always aware that store bought tomatoes had no flavor, but never had any interest in gardening. One time I took one of those store bought tomatoes and planted the seeds and what do you know, it actually sprouted and grew some more tomatoes? I don't think it's supposed to work that way, but it did. The thing I remember that always grew without any effort was rhubarb.

Hey this is really cool. Thanks for sharing.
This is the key. When the drivers lack the ability to freely decline rides every time every time without consequences, they are not contractors anymore.

By the way, the take-it-or-leave-it offer with dictated pricing is a really inefficient way to reach a market price. The driver logs off because they can't decline too many times, then there are less drivers, so the rideshare app has to raise prices, but then the drivers nearby are no longer online.

Why would you rob a truck with omnidirectional and live internet cameras on every side of it, unload a trailer in haste, and try to make a getaway in another large truck, when you can rob a truck the old fashion way, by bribing the driver and have the entire trailer delivered and unloaded before anyone knows to look for it?

There’s also a lot of politics involved. Fox News pundits are insisting the escalating seriousness of the coverage is a plot to make Trump look bad, and shouting about how influenza kills way more people, and it’s no big deal.
I don't just worry about merge conflicts. I worry about merges that generate no merge conflicts, but still create bugs because of the way changes on two different branches end up interacting with each other at run time.

In general, I feel a lot more confident with using feature flags and the like to keep work in progress from prematurely going live than I do using branches to do the job.

Or, if I could take a stab at saying it pithily: Having your code be continuously integrated is a prerequisite of doing continuous integration.
The "this is entirely my work" would apply here since nothing else in the video was legally owned by anyone else.

Most teams or companies I've worked in have a git guru but it's far from all they do. It's the occasional stop by at that person's every so often for help with something that is outside the absolute basics.

As this and all other reports indicate, it can become aerosolized in certain invasive hospital procedures, which involve sticking stuff into people's lungs. This holds for a lot of diseases, we've known that for decades, and it doesn't have anything to do with how spread occurs in public.
I agree, I conflate "sharing an entangled particle" with "same starting seed", in which case you can also get a 100% winrate.
And that's why everyone still uses SVN and git is this obscure minor player that's relatively unheard of.
In that example, the user has configured git to ask their linter if it's ok to commit, and the linter is telling git "no" because it's failing.

The git portion of that is pretty straightforward, but whatever the linter is doing looks rather complex.
There's a neat Elixir startup that develops a CNC-controlled farming robot. They provide an app for planning your garden, and then it waters everything for you, calculates yield, and manages sensors for moisture and temperature.

I'm probably not doing the project justice with this description, because they've put together a really cool platform: https://farm.bot/

A lot of their code is open-source too. They've been really huge drivers for the Nerves project: https://github.com/FarmBot

"Prior to the new work, mathematicians had wondered whether they could get away with approximating infinite-dimensional matrices by using large finite-dimensional ones instead. Now, because the Connes embedding conjecture is false, they know they can’t." Your question is like asking if limits actually exist. It might be answered by first proposing what continuity holds for the quantum system.
git before github existed was a pain to use. I honestly just continued to use SVN because the tool support (like automatic renaming in IntelliJ when refactoring a class) just worked, and there was concern about exactly how to back up our source code.

After github, things became much easier and it is likely the main reason people use git over mercurial.

Of course, now I work at a place that uses Mercurial, because Git can't handle the size of our repo (an order of magnitude, at least, bigger than the Linux kernel)...
Traefik can also automatically get letsencrypt certs, if you don't want to use CertManager. Traefik gives the added benefit of also doing Ingress.
I think you're right that people often over estimate the suddeness of climate change, when in actual fact it is a slow process over a long period of time, so change will come slowly not like a big disaster that people might have in their heads.

But the economy and society can change suddenly. People denying anything is wrong keeps it going. Everything is fine until it isn't, then change can come suddenly. USSR I think is a good example of this.

The economy will run until the constraints make it fail. This already happens now sometimes. We just have the means and the methods to fix it, or prevent it. Global warming will cause those constraints and our abilities to change and the economy is not just magically going to keep going, unless climate change is deterred.

Lack of food, lack of money, lack of stable government, etc. I think these are all conditions for civilisation ending. I don't think it will go from the stability we have now to no stability over a very long period. It will be like a pendulum and it will oscilate until one thing becomes too many and it will be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

I want to make it clear I'm saying this is only a possibility, and only if no change occurs. I don't think is the most likely outcome, merely that it's possible.
Do you have any evidence for that?

Kicking people off for accepting rides and then canceling them makes perfect sense because once you accept the ride, the customer is waiting and they're not looking for another driver. It also discourages drivers from looking at the destination and then refusing rides that legally they're not supposed to, like trips into black neighborhoods.

Accepting in the first place either happens or doesn't in only a few seconds, and if you don't they immediately go on to the next driver. At best they have the incentive to make you manually re-enable your availability to drive if you neither accept nor decline more than a couple of rides in a row, so they can stop routing rides to you if you're not actually there. In makes no sense to kick you off over it, so why would they do that?

Uber doesn't stop people having their own clients. Quite the opposite, it's a great place to swap numbers with a driver you like. Uber even has a favourites button so you have a higher chance of getting the same driver/passenger.

Also, your plumber doesn't set his rates, you do. He quotes and you accept (or not). That's exactly the same as the Uber driver.

It seems pretty obvious to me that Uber drivers organise their own work. They start and stop when they want, pick the journeys they want, set their own hours etc. But maybe I've misunderstood you?
Google stubbornly resists the idea that their platforms have actual users who depend on things not being broken for them constantly. It's cultural.

Getting switched offline after too much inactivity, from which you need to actively affirm intent to work by going online again, is not the same as getting kicked off the platform.
It seems to me like contractor rules were invented for a very different kind of person, i.e. a professional who voluntarily gives up certain protections in exchange for higher pay. As an engineer I can choose whether I want to enter an employeer-employee relationship or a business-to-business relationship. In the second, I take on a greater share of the risk and I am accordingly paid more. The freedom to choose either option is valuable to me.

The rule was not intended as a way for large corporations to hire workers for less than minimum wage, although so far we've had a hard time making laws that cleanly differentiate the two cases.
Yep, I quite literally came here to post this. It seems like exactly the kind of "not giving enough information to really understand a topic" that the OP was complaining about.

If communication really needs to be forbidden, just let them agree on an RNG beforehand and share a seed. This seems to eliminate any quantum magic involved, which suggests I don't really understand the problem, which suggests that they haven't really explained it.

> They don't want their daily utterances to be a matter of record.

Experience being stalked and harassed online for years and you'll hate it as well. Imagine in your 30s having your job threatened because you made a dumb post when you were a teenager, and no one will ever let it go or accept that people change.

Many people are uninteresting, and never have this experience. Celebrities have large support networks and agents. For anyone caught between the two extremes, this can really break people who have no one to turn to and no support when they end up targeted.

> Ephemerality mitigates that, providing the expression and connection of social media without the stakes.

It's also a lie and setting people up for disaster. Nothing will stop stalkers from crawling stories with archive.is or even just taking screenshots. Nothing you put online is ephemeral, unless it's too uninteresting to be worth saving. Stalkers will write bots to scrape your Twitter stories, your Discord deleted messages and on and on, and then peruse the results at their leisure for juicy content to twist and distort.

Google currently OCRs text in screenshots posted to stalking websites to tie back to you in search results. And those websites rank like you wouldn't believe. Once Google gets their hands on it, forget it. You'll never outlive it.
As one of those red badges, this post immediately made me think of my entire team.
Also, many countries (186) are nominally still party to the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, which puts marijuana in "Schedule IV:" "The drug … is particularly liable to abuse and to produce ill effects, and such liability is not offset by substantial therapeutic advantages." So even above-board international trade in cannabis may be problematic.

> The Commentary notes that "Whether the prohibition of drugs in Schedule IV (cannabis and cannabis resin, desomorphine, heroin, ketobemidone) should be mandatory or only recommended was a controversial question at the Plenipotentiary Conference." The provision adopted represents "a compromise which leaves prohibition to the judgement, though theoretically not to the discretion, of each Party." The Parties are required to act in good faith in making this decision, or else they will be in violation of the treaty.

If you brand it as "Google," you can't expect the positive associations to transfer and the negative associations not to transfer. That's not how it works. You get both or you get neither.

Keep in mind that you aren't selling to me, you are selling to middle management who hears "it's different we promise" and then goes home to have nightmares about their rival manager piling on: "GCP canceled a service from under you? Who could possibly have seen that coming? Oh, the salesman told you it wouldn't happen, my mistake. (Everyone laughs at manager's stupidity.)"

GCP needs to give these guys ammunition. AWS burns goodwill like they've got a city to light: surprise bills, abandoned (but technically not canceled) services, poor performance, sticky abstractions, shameless grand announcements of services that upon further investigation only exist in the sense that you can ask support and wait 5 days (rDNS), etc. Broken software and subtle (or overt!) killer caveats abound. Go with AWS, we scale to the moon! Oh, "the moon" is >5GB of data through our time series ML? Lol no. Hard limit. Oh, we let your buddies exceed that limit and we're advertising that you can exceed the limit? Lol -- not our problem. Yet nobody holds them accountable. Nobody gets fired for choosing AWS, because AWS over-promising and under-delivering is not a meme. It's reality, especially by Google standards, so GCP marketing could make it a meme if they had any sense about them, but as far as I can tell they aren't interested.

If GCP stays the course, the results are 100% predictable and frustrating as hell, because AWS is a real steaming pile and I hate to see them continue to win The Game because Google, of all companies, can't figure out how to advertise and manage their reputation.
I was on a team that “merged forward” from base branches in subversion back then. What I learned later was that was one of the few teams that was a actually doing that in svn.
Well said. I don't get why people are so optimistic and keep trusting the WHO, given they have downplayed the situation multiple times, and that China was doing a brilliant job to contain the Wuhan Corona Virus.

Look at the spread of the corona virus in South Korea and Italy now. Then look at Hong Kong and Taiwan, whose people don't trust China for even a bit.

The first thing China did was to detain whistle blowers. One of them died from this virus. What they did was to conceal the outbreak, not tackling it.
The problem is that “worse” can mean anything. It can be marginally worse without being a serious cause of concern or it can be really really bad.

That’s the beauty of journalism: being flexible with the truth. You can print end of the world headlines with the clean conscience that since it is technically worse, you are not pushing fake news. But that may still be a massively over exaggerated and misleading headline.

And I think that is what happening. I don’t see many people claiming it is no worse than the flu. I see people claiming it is marginally worse than the flu.
I think of those as "logical" merge conflicts, as opposed to "literal" merge conflicts, the kind detected by git. Having good integration tests is crucial!
It's amusing because when Trump instituted the travel ban early, it was Fox which was playing up the threat and all other news channels which were playing it down. Then a month later, they switched positions. This nonsense is why we have international organizations like the WHO, which are made of actual experts rather than pundits.
"git stash" is something I used to use all the time, roughly daily.

"git blame" is also very useful.

"git bisect" is remarkably useful once a month or so. It does a binary search to find the commit that broke whatever thing you've recently discovered is broken.
The problem with extremely harsh penalties for bad behaviour is that then they'll just lie. Imagine if we executed police who abused their power. Would anyone become a police officer? Would any police officer turn in a colleague they knew had done wrong?

Makes me wonder what happened to the old GT40 at the university that had the "Moonlander" game, which had a McDonalds on the moon, that was always loaded into its core memory.

>DEC GT40 running Lunar Lander

>MM11-L 8K word core memory (MM11-K 4K word core memory on GT40-Bx models)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Lander_(video_game_genre...

>In 1973, DEC commissioned the creation of a real-time, graphical version of Lunar Lander, which was intended to showcase the capabilities of their new DEC GT40 graphics terminals. The game, which was written by Jack Burness and named Moonlander, was distributed with DEC computers and displayed at trade shows. An arcade game version of the game concept was released as Lunar Lander in 1979 by Atari, which featured a fuel-for-money system allowing the player to purchase more fuel to continue their current game.

https://www.arcade-history.com/?n=lunar-lander&page=detail&i...

>Lunar Lander was Atari's first vector game and was inspired by "Moonlander", a game written by Jack Burness in 1973 as a demo for the DEC GT40 vector graphics terminal (based on a PDP-11/05 CPU). This game used a light pen to control thrust and rotation.

>If the player landed at exactly the right spot, a McDonalds appeared. The astronaut would leave the lander and walk over to the McDonalds and order a Big Mac to go, before walking back to the Lander and taking off again. If players crashed directly into the McDonalds, the game displayed a message reading 'You clod. You've destroyed the only McDonald's on the Moon.' After a short run of Lunar Lander machines were manufactured, production was shifted over to "Asteroids" and the first few hundred "Asteroids" machines were housed in Lunar Lander cabinets. Atari donated a gold edition version of the coin-operated video game to the Discovery Center of Science & Technology in Syracuse, New York.

>Gameplay was simple, but challenging: The player wielded the GT40’s integrated light pen and carefully guided the lunar module’s descent by touching areas of the screen that controlled thrust. The player attempted to land via thrusting the lunar module’s rockets in real time while avoiding too fast an entry, or too steep an angle. With Burness’ innovations, the modern action-based Lunar Lander we all know today was born.

An often forgotten fact is that core memory is why a "core dump" is called that.

I hate rebases because they create multiple hashes for the same logical commit. It confuses the crap out of me sometimes. Also, they tend to involve more manual processing, and thus human error, then merges.
Depends on jurisdiction but practically, yes, and in fact in California the EDD was systematically suing local governments to convert taxi drivers into employees (and to recapture lost taxes they would have billed had they been employees) until Uber blew that system out of the water. Source: was taxi driver in SF / CA during that time. And as a practical matter, yes these folks met all the checkboxes of being employee despite the assertion otherwise by taxi companies and cities.

definitely a good point, I was considering more of a hybrid approach where a driver exists but some of the driving is done autonomously. We're close to that now.

Also, trucks still need to refuel, so breaks are still required.

The relationship between the driver and the rider generally doesn't extend beyond the single trip. They'll probably never see each other again. The relationship between the driver and Uber may continue, but so does the relationship between a plumber and Yelp.

It seems like you're arguing that eBay sellers should be considered the employees of eBay if they do most of their sales through eBay.
