It's worth noting the same holds true for UI: data dominates. Design your widgets, layout, and workflow around the data.
Maybe I'm saying I try to not 100% assume ill intent, and that while I feel skeptical and suspicious of motives, I try to maintain an openness so that conversation doesn't devolve into two people thinking the other doesn't care about them. I'm tired of seeing so much of that in society.
The specific process node isn't important. Once they figure out how to do EUV and other manufacturing techniques that limit their domestic industry's advancement, China will be able to compete at the smaller process nodes too.

Western governments can stop ASML from shipping an EUV machine to a Chinese customer, but they can't stop China from developing their own technology.
I am not going to state that "drivers are too dumb", but as far as I know it is definitely not clear that it is clear to a (potential) driver what they are actually being paid after all expenses. It is not unreasonable that any given person will not immediately understand the full cost of being a driver, including insurance (like ensuring that their existing auto insurance is even valid if you're ever driving for a company), gas, vehicle maintenance, general vehicle wear-and-tear, as well as any required cleaning/upkeep.

It's not unreasonable that someone who is driving for Uber/Lyft (especially if, as you claim, they have no better alternatives) is aware of the deferred costs that they are incurring.

Prepare your downvotes. Occult books tell that we have all means to nearly stop aging with today's tech and the key is in extracting and using the essence of oxygen; that air at the ground is what dooms us to aging and if we could access something at the top layers of the atmosphere, we'd find the key. Obviously, the books don't specify what that essense really is. If it's atomic oxygen, then it's a very aggressive substance. Ozone, that forms at the high altitudes, isnt health friendly either. What's left is the rather unique property of oxygen atoms - that their nucleus forms a rapidly rotating snake like coil - might be considered that essense, but I'm not sure how to use that to fix aging cells.
Most of the electricity usage is due to the drying cycle of the dishwasher. If you want to be super efficient, set your dishwasher to skip the drying cycle and either prop the door so that the dishes can drip dry, or hand dry the dishes coming out of the dishwasher.

Generally, when hand washing dishes, hot water is used. Typically ~5-10 times more water is required when hand washing, which results in more water needing to be heated (and is less energy efficient as a result).
You may want to consider a simple detachable hose you can connect to the faucet to fill up something external when the sink is full. I use such a thing for filling a bucket of water that can't actually fit in the sink. You will find it in your local hardware store.
JSONP, or the iframe equivalent.

I know, you're thinking JSON didn't exist back then, I must be trolling.

I'm not, and it did!

JSON is short for "JavaScript Object Notation". With rare exceptions, it's valid JavaScript already! So JSONP only needs pure JavaScript, nothing else.

However, back then it wasnt necessary to use object notation at all. As it was returning a script to run, the script could just call functions directly instead of assembling an object.

Aside from JavaScript, people also used a Java applet or Flash to do the communication (faster than JSONP) as most browsers had at least one of those installed. Java and Flash could both be called from JavaScript.

ah, yes, us americans with our common russian colonialist attitude towards belarus.

i'm quite agaist russia actually. it is quite funny you think belarus, bordering russia, which used to be russia not too long ago, is a fully autonomous and separate country.

as far as the language. you know how rednecks speak english? what if the north and south separated into separate countries. the south was less industrious, had worse education, was about 30 years back in technology and law. that's russia and belarus. and it does absolutely sound like the russian a farmer speaks. to the point i can understand it easily spoken and in print.

belarus and russia (and ukraine) are literally the same people, the slavs.

me, having learned proper french living in versailles, can say canada speaks redneck french. it sounds like that from the accent. this apparently means the french have a colonialist attitude towards canada. how about, stop spreading your anti-russian narrative with fake information. there's plenty of real bad things to make russia look bad.
Townhomes, duplexes, triplexes, etc are substitutes for single family homes (not for everybody, but for some people... like me). You'd expect that allowing them to be built would make single family homes more accessible not less as the people who currently are forced to buy SFHs but would be happy in a townhome would stop competing for them.

More supply of a substitute (in this case, townhomes) should result in lowered demand/price of SFHs.

In long-lived systems (systems that run for many years) it's almost impossible to choose the "right data structures" for the ages. The sources and uses of your data will not last nearly as long as the data itself.

What to do about this? Two things:

STORE YOUR TIMESTAMPS IN UTC. NOT US Pacific or any other local timezone. If you start out with the wrong timezone you'll never be able to fix it. And generations of programmers will curse your name.

Keep your data structures simple enough to adapt to the future. Written another way: respect the programmers who have to use your data when you're not around to explain it.

And, a rule that's like the third law of thermodynamics. You can never know when you're designing data how long it will last. Written another way: your kludges will come back to bite you in the xxx.
The comment was edited considerably after I posted.
I'm not sure the idea of "if it's legal somewhere it must be legal everywhere" is going to fly. There are areas of the world where it's not illegal to have sex with minors for example.

So maybe you try to say "if it's legal to a majority of our users then it is legal on the site", but then it becomes illegal to discuss Tienanmen Square on your supposedly global website.

Websites that ignore the law get shut down or shut out. Declaring yourself above the law because you're on the web never works once law enforcement is involved.
Sure, if you run the tap the entire time that you're hand-washing. But you can just fill the sink with water, plug it and wash many dishes with that water. I once worked with a guy who lived in a cabin without running water for most of his life. Needless to say, he was very efficient at hand washing dishes with very little water.

Isn't this the same for most shells including almost all linux distros? The CEO of red hat accidentally wiped his computer becuase he forgot a slash but we don't throw out a whole tool just because it included a footgun.

The same is true for SQL.
At some point, every time I called an Uber to take me home after being out late, the driver would first call me, ask me where I was going, I'd say somewhere far away, and then they'd immediately cancel the ride. So I stopped picking up the phone when someone called right after I called an Uber, and then maybe only half would cancel if I didn't pick up.
FIRE (Financial Independence/Retire Early) is now a popular goal among the young. If you retire early, however, you're going to have to figure out what to do with all the leisure time. It would perhaps be better to have people working fewer hours, but over more years - a longterm 3-day workweek would allow for plenty of leisure as well as work.
Coerce in that someone will now have the "choice" of selling an organ or going to jail.

Romantic Love Letter of Hope and Love to Wife 2020
When you say 'multi-family home' do you mean a single house with lots of families sharing a kitchen and things?

Or do you mean like a terrace home? Like a town-house? Those are super common in many places and it doesn't cause any of the problems you're imagining in my experience.

My house shares one wall with another family. Not sure how you'd tell or what impact you think it'd have. I still have power tools in my garage.
Not the original poster, but the answer I can think of is the mail service. In many countries it guarantees the cost of sending a letter from A to B is the same, independent of distance between A and B or the popularity of A as a source and B as a destination of letters.

That often even stays the case when the mail service gets privatized.

I’ve never heard of such services to originally be privatized, though, or of the service to be privatized to multiple providers (say with one company serving the large cities and another the countryside, or one doing half the country, and another doing the other half)

Also: are you sure this is libertarianism? I would think subsidies can’t exist in a libertarian world because the government doesn’t exist there.
I distinguish at least two kinds of work: one where you earn money because you have no other sources of income. And work that relates to whatever you are doing on you own behalf - which can be very productive as well.

The first kind of work is a productive factor, like capital or land. It's just the brains and hands of a piece of flesh that does what it is told. A worker is always subordinated to capital, you are working for the capital of others. You never get the full reward, whereas people you never met will earn a share of every piece of value you provide.

It's funny, almost every second product I buy these days comes from firms which went to one or even multiple private equity hands in the past two decades. It is one of the reasons why I reduce my consumption to a minimum.

Neoliberalism hates equality, it hates social progress and it has absolutely no idea of how to do something different that would benefit society at large. There is no society for capital, there is revenue, returns and all human activity you are observing is partially there, because there is someone who just wants their profit.

Poles are melting, climate changes, species die out, capitalism (as it is implemented; the theory is much more progressive) could not care less about killing its own foundations.

It reminds me of avant-garde capitalists operation like facebook. It could only start on an open web, and its endgame is own all you presence online. Walled gardens, armes guards, cash flow.

Regular taxi drivers are often contractors. At least, they were in the past, I'm not sure how this new stuff is affecting regular taxi companies.
I guess another thing is that a lot of uber drivers could get fired b/c of just cost and the ones that stay on full-time are going to get thrashed around with little choice in what rides they want to pick.

Yeah, this is a huge mess, it kind of makes sense why they choose to fight in legal battles in the past, it's just easier than figuring this out from a product perspective.
That's my quote :) In hindsight I should have said "hundreds of millions"; we're at about a third of a million _sensor packets_ in production, some of which are dozens of rows across several tables.

Yeah, you could absolutely stick this in a vanilla postgres instance, but as a sibling post said, you wouldn't get the same performance on the queries we care most about.
I'm in East Bay and also on Comcast gigabit non-pro only (no TV). Signed up at $90 with no contract and so far it's been as stable as I had in Seattle with CenturyLink (fiber to building). I did buy my own DOCSIS modem so that could be part of the equation.
Typically lower income folks can received reduced fare or free public transportation cards. Municipalities around the world are opening up to the idea of explicitly subsidizing ubers or replacing mass transit with uber in some cases: https://prospect.org/infrastructure/cities-turn-uber-instead...

This is a relatively new model, although makes a lot of sense (lower cost and more flexibility to operate uber pools vs empty buses late at night). It is not a stretch to assume you could get income based "discount cards" for uber usage.
You're taking PPP figures instead of nominal figures. That's not necessarily wrong but it should be mentioned and explained. Based on nominal figures both new york state and russia are around 1.6-1.7 trillion.

> The reason is the "fredsplikt": as long as there is a collective bargaining agreement in place, if a worker goes on strike they can be legally laid off for shirking work.

I don't believe this is strictly true. The "fredsplikt" (lit. "Duty of Peace") only applies to members of a signing, or co-signing union. So while the benefits of the collective bargaining agreement apply to all employees, the "sacrifices" do not apply to members of, say, other unions that do not sign the agreement. The most common example of this in practice is "SAC Syndikalisterna".

In practice though, strikes are unusual as they are a very ineffective means of negotiation unless very large, and therefore very expensive.

New Free and Open-Source Spring Design Software
More than a spring calculator, ODOP:Spring is full-featured spring design software for engineering custom helical coil springs, including compression, torsion and extension springs. While certainly capable of analyzing the performance of an existing spring design, our open-source and free to use web app is at its best when used to develop solutions to difficult and highly constrained original design problems.
Yep. Though is it still true that the prices for riders and the earnings for drivers are seperated? To me that is the key greediness here.

At least in Europe all competitors still work with the % of fare calculations.
> They managed to design for a relatively uncommon use case (QWERTY typists who type in Spanish and French), and basically got it right the first time.

Kinda, but you do need those to type fluently in English, too, which isn't an uncommon use case for a computer sold in an English-speaking country. We have tons of accented loan words from French and Spanish, among other European languages. We also need a lot more punctuation and "special characters" than any other default English layout I know of makes available.

It is entirely a joke that Apple's got the only OS, in the year 2020, that does a good job at the task of composing text in English, out of the box and without compromising other use cases. I don't even know of alternate layouts that are anywhere near as good on another OS. What the actual hell is up with that?

Seems an overly cautious warning. The spec seems to indicate that the only "semantic" meaning to these elements is "I have content or controls I wish to show/hide" and the accessibility guarantee is "allow the user to show/hide details". It sounds perfectly cromulent use.

Could even default the details to shown with the "open" attribute and still meet the spec-detailed description as the affordance there is that it can then be hidden.

> apparently Prop 22 is a one that (as best I understand) would reverse AB 5 specifically for app-based driving apps, which seems really narrow and preferential, even by the standards of CA propositions.

And no surprise, it was written and pushed by Uber and other app-based gig work companies, and they're going to spend a lot of money to promote it. From your link:

> On August 30, 2019, three companies—DoorDash, Lyft, and Uber—each placed $30 million into campaign accounts to fund a ballot initiative campaign should the legislature pass AB 5 without compromising with the companies.... The companies Instacart (Maplebear, Inc.) and Postmates also joined the campaign, each contributing $10 million. Together, the five businesses had provided more than $110 million in support of the ballot initiative.

To put that amount in perspective, it's 40% of the amount the Biden campaign plans to spend nationally on ads in Septemter: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/05/us/politics/biden-ads.htm....
I think we're getting some terms crossed. In my two-family home I will own the entire building. I will live in one unit and will rent the other unit to another family. So I (read: my wife) decide what color the building is. (This kind of owner-occupied arrangement is historically very common in my neck of the woods.)

I live in Oregon, where vote by mail is the standard. While I can drop off my ballot at a drop box (convenient for folks in town, like me) it’s delivered by USPS. This feels like a not-very-subtle attack on my voting franchise.

I’m a strong advocate for vote by mail, and it never occurred to me that the USPS would not be there to handle ballot delivery and pickup.

I wonder if there are constitutional issues with this kind of change?

Meetups and conferences are happening online now and it's actually pretty nice. For example, if the Julia Conference had not gone online this year, there's really no way I could've gone to Baltimore for most of a week to attend. But because it was online it was not only free, but also accessible. They had discord channels to hangout in as well as other ways to socially engage.
DanielBMarkham maybe have something better in mind, but the wikipedia article on liberty has a pretty decent introduction and overview between different philosophers. The formal definitions of positive liberty and negative liberty seems to be a good point to start if one want to skip to the end.
