Someone has to start and these few people are the ones raising their hand up. More will follow over time. I can imagine the current economic climate is probably restraining a lot of people right now. In that sense Zuckerberg has some time to fix it he wants to. But I would expect the voices to grow louder over time.
This is akin to saying “love the country or leave it”.

If people have the chance to openly disagree with leadership, they probably can try to effect change - quitting is just giving up and letting those in favor of the status quo to keep driving decisions as they already do?
So people shouldn't be allowed to defend themselves because sometimes there are accidents? Should people be allowed to drive? After all, some people drive drunk. Should people even be allowed to go outside at all? After all, people get hit by meteors and lightning bolts.
EmailsAndSurveys is a new service that can send an Email OR SMS campaign with full featured Surveys you would typically find in Survey Monkey.

They are the only provider with Pay as You Go Pricing. A penny an email, 3 cents per SMS and 5 cents per survey response with no monthly commitments.
Thank you, this is a brilliant comment.
I'm honestly not sure quitting is actually the most effective way to get what they want.

Managers and high profile people at companies like Facebook have a lot of leverage and can organise relatively easily because there's relatively few of them. The senior tech people and management need to recognise that they hold a ton of power because they basically run the place, their influence would be much better served by pressuring Facebook. It's Facebook who can't afford to lose them.

There needs to be some sort of class consciousness for the 'top 10% but not 0.1%'. They've got all the leverage in the world, and increasingly share no common ground with the owners of the business.

The Cause of the Sign in with Apple Zero-Day
The thesis that you can grab market share and then use it to make profits doesn't work in this case.

There's no reason why the customer needs your particular delivery service. Even in a last-man-standing scenario, that last service is competing with a note delivered with every meal that says "please order direct".

I looked into starting a restuarant and it made no sense to me to pay 30% of the meal price to a third party. The breakdown I got from my friend who runs a sushi delivery service in central London is roughly 25% fish, 25% rent / utilities, 30-40% labor. And that's when things are going well, you die if the chefs waste a few % more fish, or if a few people less a day come to order your food. So there's no space for a 30% cut.

Why anyone does it, I'm not sure. Perhaps it is to do with maintaining market share, or making sure your ingredients are used. Of course it's also true that the fish is the only part of that budget that is roughly linear with the number of orders, so maybe the restaurants also fall into a trap of saying they'll try to boost the 45% remaining with volume.
Absolutely chilling.
MLK gave a speech at Silicon Valley's own Stanford and touched on this subject (the same one with the "riot is the language of the unheard" quote you might have seen circulating).

https://www.crmvet.org/docs/otheram.htm

See the bit starting with: "Now there's another notion that gets out, it's around everywhere. It's in the South, it's in the North, it's In California, and all over our nation. It's the notion that legislation can't solve the problem, it can't do anything in this area. And those who project this argument contend that you've got to change the heart and that you can't change the heart through legislation."

To summarize it, he disagrees with you.
Also, the title isn't even factually correct. The sentence from the article is "In August 2019, analysts from the investment firm Cowen estimated that Uber Eats was losing $3.36 on every order and would continue to lose money on every order for the next five years". It's an estimation from a third-party, not official numbers.
Incompetence.

A private company can deliver two human beings alive to a point in space with millimeter precision. Meanwhile another can't deliver Operating Systems without gross bugs or smaller updates with binary diff patching.

DoorDash has already trained me this way on Chinese food. I get Chinese food once a week. I don't know the name of the place I get it from. As long as they didn't change the food too much, I could easily migrate to a cloud kitchen.
Sometimes developers distribute their software via Conda installs, in those cases they sometimes don't provide instructions on running other ways (eg using the pyenv environment which is my default. ). I'm ok with this, but when conda fails as sometimes happens, it can mean some digging to get the install to work.

I was thinking of my latest install, which was CRISPRESSO2, which installs via docker or bioconda... I was able to get it going, but it took a bit on some systems.. (Python 2.7 old libraries.. etc..)
Docker didn't seem to work.

I like virtual env, but sometimes I feel I have to have a new environment for each piece of software I'm running, which feels weird.

The American Revolution certainly included a good share of looting. Wealthy local townspeople who were viewed as sympathetic to Britain were brutally driven out of their homes, and whatever possessions they could not take with them as they fled to Canada or the Caribbean were plundered by the revolutionaries.

While the ideologues of the American Revolution were arguing for lofty Enlightenment-era ideals, on the ground things were much more opportunistic, with people joining the secessionist movement in order to plunder those Tory households, or to earn some money as a soldier or mercenary.

The Doordash externality that you posted is not really a problem for anyone except Doordash. Both the restaurant and the consumer benefit from the arbitrage.

Airbnb is profitable so I'm not sure why you included it. If you don't like Airbnb that's fine but it has nothing to do with bad business models. Airbnb has proven to be a pretty good model. Even better it's challenged the stranglehold hotels have had on some local politics.

You posted about Uber which is also a pretty good business model so not really relevant here. Pollution is a problem that needs to be solved but very little of that blame lies with Uber. A carbon tax could fix that instantly. We cannot rely on investors to save the environment.
I actually like Zuckerberg's response. I dont want tech companies being the arbiters of truth, leave that up to us to decide.

As far as 12 employees upset they are not getting their way, we all work in companies with people having differing opinions and perspectives. We can't force everyone to do as we feel and have to accept that we are going to have to work with other people and decisions may not fit our specific worldview.
It’s a standard submission technique however you aren’t supposed to put your weight on the neck it’s more to restrict movement of the shoulders and the head the weight should be on the upper spine between the shoulder blades with the knee extended to the top of the neck, if you press on the side of the neck if it’s rotated or put your weight onto the neck itself you can kill the person.

Alternatively another technique locks the neck between the foot and the knee and again you aren’t supposed to put your weight on the neck unless you want to kill the person.

Untrained cop on a power trip using improper technique to subdue a person for a fucking forever and a half is a recipe for disaster.

BTW I would bet on most cops not knowing how to perform this properly the only reason you usually don’t have casualties and fatalities is due to the fact that they only hold the suspect in submission for a few seconds until they are cuffed or until their partner arrives to hold them down not like 10 min or what ever that it was.

>Silence is complicity

I'd like to point out that the argument that you must choose a side or you're an enemy is a farce and bullying tactics (which is behind the spirit of this statement).

Both sides can say this. Meaning, of course, they are both wrong because I cannot be complicit in both sides of this at the same time.

Participation is optional. Non-participation implies silence. Silence is not complicity.
It would be a more powerful statement if they were actually sacrificing something. Instead, they're taking a day off from their cushy $200k/year jobs that they're too scared to quit.

If they really care so much about a lack of censorship, they could show it by quitting. But then how will they pay for their $3k/month SoHo lofts and their twelve person birthday dinners in Williamsburg?

It's amusing to me when these overpaid employees think they're some kind of last bastion of intellectualism, looking out for the common man, when in fact they could not be more disconnected from reality, and comprise one of the most gullible flocks of sheep on the planet. Their mindset makes for the perfect employee, really.
You realize that reason could totally be "He's a police officer in 90210 and rich people don't like being pulled over for speeding".
But how would they ever have the most content? There isn't a single restaurant that is not being paid millions by Uber that is specific to Uber. Nearly every cab driver will also drive for Lyft, Via, etc.

Additionally, Google actually competes and wins on content. It's rare that Google offers a worse search result than any of its competitors. However, my food tastes just as good if ordered through Uber Eats or Grubhub or through the restaurant's own website, and my taxi service is likely gonna be the same whether I use Lyft or Uber.

Finally, unlike Google, Uber is actually renting its location from its competitors. Apple and Google could sign deals with Lyft/Seamless to make them the default provider in Maps, Google search, Apple Search or an Apple Restaurants app.
I guess it would weaken my point if you were posting on this subject on both HN and 4chan now. My point was intended as a rhetorical one to highlight that people generally post to HN because they're looking for a certain kind of audience or quality of discussion that you won't find anywhere near as consistently on less moderated places like 4chan.

All good points, but the US is still in bad shape with regard to understandability of results. The electoral college makes it routine that the winning candidate is voted for by a minority of citizens. The fact that we still have bloodless transitions indicates to me that the risk you raise is overstated. I think if it was replaced with something like ranked choice we would see an improvement in both desirability and understanding of results.

The problem with doing things this way is that you’re not going to know there’s a problem until there’s an issue in your tests (hopefully) or production. You’ll eventually install something new, it’ll update some subdependencies to a version that another library doesn’t support, and then things get broken. Pip-tools is easy to use and it tells you there’s a problem before it’s too late.
Are they still working on self driving cars? That will push the headcount up. For each developer you have project managers, product owners, database admins, techs, ba/technical ba, qa. Not to mention probably a big legal team. Nevermind marketing / ui/ux guys or guys doing reporting or people internal tools.
I suspect you're missing somethingindeed. Of course, BNP's general counsel sounded submissive. His company entered a plea deal in the US.

The issue at stake is how extraterritorial the US legislation is.

Should the US government be able to determine that an EU company cannot do anything anywhere anytime involving US dollars if it has Iranian clients for example?

> Whenever any dependency changes the State value will update immediately. Each setState statement will notify subscribers synchronously with all changes applied.

If two things change that both trigger a third thing to change, how does this efficiently prevent the third thing from updating twice needlessly? I'm imagining this becoming an exponential problem in real apps, where hundreds of components are re-updated needlessly at every UI interaction.
Let's be totally clear. These employees don't want free speech on the platform - they want their speech to be the one selected on the platform. The MINUTE Facebook starts censoring some of what they like they'll be out protesting that too. It's shut down the other folks views.

And BTW - free speech does not mean Nazi-ism - in fact, the Nazi's had perhaps one of the most famous censorship ops going with Goebbels. It's actually a pretty good tell for fascism, dictators etc - make it hard for other voices to be heard.

When I read Trumps stuff, I just want to vote him out of office.
The union can totally take the money from their pension fund in a way that penalizes the offender the most and the retirees not at all. Let them figure it out, you don't need the extra step of insurance.
>Delivery services work very well in places with very high income inequality.

This is true of any personal services that depend on relatively low-skill labor. Being able to "timeshare" (e.g. Uber/private cars vs. full-time driver) helps to a degree. But, in general, until you get to quite high wealth levels, relatively few people can really afford to constantly shell out for cooks, cleaners, handymen, nannies, etc. on a day-to-day basis in the West.
I would say they’re very in touch if they can successfully walkout without any repercussions. They seem to know they have the upper hand right now and have the power to influence the company.

Deliveries could be more efficient if kitchens were centralized. It is inefficient to pick from multiple locations.

Maybe you could just have larger kitchens, preparing different types of food under different brands.

You should watch the full length video of the fraud bust. It was very clear from the video that the police on the scene seemed to think he was under influence of drugs. They asked repeatedly what he "was on." They commented to bystanders, "this is why you don't do drugs, kids."

They tried to get him into police car for 10min and he resisted, and was saying that he couldn't breathe even prior to the knee+neck incident.

Combine this anecdotal information with a long rap sheet involving felony drug charges ( https://i.redd.it/2sc99kysho151.jpg ) and you have a pretty decent rough estimate that he was on drugs at the time. I'd also like to see official toxicology reports though.
Has Anonymous ever been an actual group or more of a loose collection of people claiming the name?
The linked article does say that some are doing just that, or at least threatening to:

> Two senior Facebook employees told The New York Times that they had informed their managers that they would resign if Mr. Zuckerberg did not reverse his decision. Another person, who was supposed to start work at the company next month, told Facebook they were no longer willing to accept a position at the company because of Mr. Zuckerberg’s decision.
Correct, these guys want to have the cake and eat it too. If they don't like Facebook, they should just leave.
They want the money. Its too attractive to them.
Hard to unsubscribe or cancel something.

I understand as a company you don't want it to be as a CTA, but please don't use shady UX tactics. Such as smaller, lower opacity, hidden buttons, or adding extra steps/clicks than necessary cancel.
That (I'd consider putting the number above 1,000, actually), but also have state legislatures appoint Senators again, then find some way to encourage the (presumably career, mostly) Senators to mentor and guide the house members to reduce the ability of lobbyists to set the House's agenda. Then let popularly-elected state legislators appoint the President. Federal-level elections past maybe the House are absurd, and the Presidential election especially and increasingly so. Waste of money, waste of attention.
The only reason rents are not dropping yet is human psychology.

Landlords don't want to accept that rents need to go down so they leave it up at the same price even if it means that places go vacant for multiple months. In a perfect market rents would be down 15/20% already.

I'm a freelance engineer primarily focused on embedded hardware and firmware, from design to prototyping to manufacture. I've designed scores of small-scale embedded "glue" devices, large-scale LED controllers, hardware for autonomous vehicles, 3D mapping rigs, as well as consumer products for Kickstarters and large companies. I have experience with 3D design and machine-shop prototyping, as well as an extensive background in firmware and backend programming.

I'm primarily looking to work on interesting projects, however I wouldn't rule out part- or full-time for the right company. No project is too small, and I do deep discounts for open-source or artistic work.

>I should mention total solar irradiance has remained relatively consistent over time (and continues to).

It should be noted that the 11-year solar cycle is much stronger in the shorter wavelengths, especially below 200nm. Since that is absorbed in the ozone layer there is a change of up to 2K max in the stratopause (~50km). It doesn't really appear to propagate down, and is rather on the level of a scientific curiosity, but still. [0] (Longer-term changes than the 11-year oscillation seem to be much lower, but this is hard to determine.)

To the parent post:

If you want to have information about UV at ground level you can look at proxy data. [1][2][3]
Of course there are some complications with that as always though, and it's not that easy to interpret.
But it looks like while there is variation it is mainly along the 11-year cycle. (I can't say much about the strength of the change on ground level without further reading. It's in the low percent range on top of the atmosphere, but almost all of that will be stopped in the ozone layer.)

It is very common for senior management to run to the door during a bankruptcy, even during an economic downturn. If there's any argument that this payout is unnecessary, it is that senior management doesn't really care about the money as much as it is about the situation.
Pretty sure cases like that would get thrown out. And even if some didn't, I'll that tradeoff instead of the current status-quo.
Hacking attribution in the US is a total crap show. Really it's terrible. I have no idea why we ever trust government attribution.

For example, the "Trump private back channel to Alfa bank": a hacked payment TOS in the lobby sending spam. You can't make it up, it's really is this dumb.

How about the attribution of the DNC "hack" in light of Crowdstrike's declassified congressional testimony? Is there a reason nobody from our government has asked Assange? I mean, he's been pretty easy to find.
