Before Uber New York City was the same way except for availability. You could get a cab but it stank, the machine was always "broken", the driver didn't speak English (until it was time to tell you the machine was broken), and if they suspected you were from out of town they would drive you around in circles just to increase the fare. I learned to always start my ride by immediately making it clear to the driver that I expected him to take a particular route and if any monkey business happened I would report him to the TLC. Acting confrontational is way outside my comfort zone but it was the only way not to get fleeced.

All that garbage is gone with Uber and Lyft.

I think Uber can also 'terminate' you if you choose to work for a competitor. IANAL, but if I work for Google, Google most certainly wouldn't let me work at Facebook as well even if I was spending 8 hours a day working for each.
Uber has never made money. They haven’t even come close to making money. It’s hard for me to have any sympathy for investors who keep funneling money into a company that defines “success” by lowering their quarterly loss to a mere billion.

It’s not as if this information isn’t public. Everyone can see that Uber can’t make money.

> That's not really true, there are lots of ways to blend the points/pixels/images together from different viewpoints

Of course there are, but (as far as I recall) Photosynth didn't use any of them; it only projected the original images on top of a point cloud. In any case, that's kind of my point; the rendering step is where the interesting research has been happening, not the camera pose reconstruction process which is trivially easy in comparison.

> although the paper fails to mention photosynth as a citation as far as I could see.

Photosynth was Microsoft's implementation of the same technology that was described in the "Photo Tourism" paper from 2006, which the NeRF-W paper does cite. Naturally, it makes more sense for other researchers work to refer to the original academic literature rather than the commercialized product.

Part of the reason Uber and Lyft work so well for riders is due to how they structure the relationship between drivers and their platform. Drivers are required to conform to the platform's payment structure. This enables predictable up-front pricing for rides before they are even requested. This enables the surge pricing system, which rapidly ramps up supply to match surges of demand.

Drivers can decline rides at will, but if a driver excessively declines rides there is punishment for this. This makes perfect sense as the platform calculates projected rates and surge pricing based on driver availability. Unnecessarily declining rides provides a poor user experience for riders, and riders ultimately can choose to take their business elsewhere. This means drivers need to be disincentivized to decline rides in order to maintain the quality of the platform.

Ultimately the relationship between driver and platform is structured to ensure a consistent driver and rider experience. The benefits arguments are more interesting, and maybe there does need to be a system for driver benefits like health insurance if they are working full time for the company, but ultimately these costs will fall squarely on consumers.

> Also the reverse problem: The current resident gets the ballot and tries to vote with it.

Any kind of double voting shenanigans should be pretty straightforward to detect. So when it happens, you [at least] invalidate the second attempt, and forward the details over to the police for investigation and prosecution.

The thing about voting is that most of the legwork in verifying voters is done in advance of any election. By the time you get to ballot-casting, the hard part is done.
My recollection was that Mars raided Ceres for ice, prior to or while spinning it up. It would take a hell of a lot of mass drivers, all pointed in the same axis, to spin up a dwarf planet.

> To be fair, what the article proposes is more akin to a parent telling the kids, “pick up all the toys you care about, and anything that’s still on the floor by tomorrow is going to be donated.”

This works because the kids having one specific toy probably doesn't matter.

However, having one specific wiki page might matter quite a bit.

For example, how often do you perform emergency procedures? Is it often enough that you're going to edit the various emergency procedure pages in your wiki often enough to keep them from the chopping block? How about pages about things which aren't emergencies, but which are involved and delicate and require non-obvious knowledge? Again, how often will you edit those pages? Will you remember all of these vital pages every time the man comes around? Forget one and... You're on the hook for suddenly remembering everything which got deleted a few cycles ago.

Somebody chose to pay the IPO price. Nobody could've offered to buy at that price, or interested parties could wait for the price to fall (if the party felt the IPO price was unreasonable). Typically, the underwriters will ensure there's interest at a given price range, prior to the listing. The demand was there.

I place some blame on the companies (and it is their responsibility to list potential risks in their public filings), but also it's somewhat the fault of buyers who scooped up millions/billions dollars worth of shares at sky-high valuations.

Is impersonating another voter a really an issue? It would be very trivial to catch if the real voter went to vote and couldnt because someone else had voted for them. But that doesn’t happen. What does happen is states require voter id and then shut down the DMV offices in minority communities making hard to get an ID.

That's a weird message for Uber to send, that Uber drivers are only contractors in some parts of California where judges are upholding the law, but in the rest of the US Uber drivers are employees.
This would likely involve allowing drivers to set their own rates or handing over driver allocation responsibilities to another party. It’s really hard to envision a world where Uber hands over those kinds of abilities to someone. Companies like this rely on owning and setting the conditions of a market to keep prices competitive.
This is an argument against treating drivers as contractors, but it's not an argument against the OP's point, which is that a contractor relationship might be beneficial for some non-negligible part of the population, even if it's not beneficial more generally. And the fact that articles don't acknowledge this is notable.
> Why does Texas allow a Texas Handgun License as an acceptable form of photo ID but not a University of Texas Student ID?

My guess would be because an LTC (like a driver license) clearly indicates if you are a state resident whereas a UT student ID does not?

The student IDs can certainly be modified to contain that info, but until they do it makes sense that they aren't a strong enough ID for voting.
> Not sure why there are so many myths about this.

Politics. And not every place is Texas. Also, because there are precious few examples of voter fraud while there is ample evidence of voter suppression.

> The federal government has a very good design system.

Why are you vacuuming up data if you don't even know what sort of outcomes you want to look for? How do you know you are even pulling from the right sources?

When you do finally figure out why you are in business, you may find that all the data you gathered is worthless. Sometimes it's really innocuous stuff like storing datetime values without enough resolution or accuracy. Only when you know how you plan to use the data can you ensure you are gathering it properly.

Teaching developers to collect all the data they can in hopes of being able to write arbitrary reports down the line is reckless behavior. Hyperscalers love pushing this ideology with inane bullshit like "Datalakes", so you can see where a conflict of interest may arise in the industry.
Thanks for your work on it. I've found Redux super-helpful and pleasant to use for multi-platform JS UI work, in particular, to bundle HTTP client (and other network services, if not in the browser) libs behind a common, small, well-understood-by-React-devs state interface. I'm a huge fan of dependencies I can abuse—fake-up in an afternoon on unsupported platforms in another language, rip out of one place and cram in another without a fuss, stuff like that. Redux is one of the rare deps in JavaScript I never feel queazy about including in a build.

"> Drivers then could, over their local "$city Uber drivers" FB/WhatsApp group, agree to not take any ride below $X,

This is, of course, illegal."

Although I am not 100% certain on this, I think that these kinds of anti-trust laws only apply when certain companies have huge amounts of market power. I believe that certain "anti-competitive" behavior would not be illegal, if done by a whole bunch of small contractors.

The obvious example would be unions that do this. But it is possible that this is a special exception to the law.

In fact, I do realize what the contents of the website I referenced are. Do you have an actual argument for why even in the cases of the printable material, there's any good reason to force people to use the for-print form even when they have no need or desire to print it?

And the site doesn't even fit the characterization here. It certainly has plenty of PDFs made for print, but then it's also filled with stuff like this, which works just as well in HTML as it does as PDF, if not better:

Yeah, but if they suspend you for a certain bundle of reasons then that makes you an employee.

An employee is just a contractor with additional rules.
It's even more intentionally misleading than that. The SDK generates wrapper libraries that allow you to interface with your code running on the DSP. Some of the wrapper functions generated have vulnerabilities. The 400 vulnerabilities are the few vulnerabilities found in the SDK template multiplied by how many different generated wrapper libraries they found.

So you fix the handful of errors in the SDK templates and all the 400 vulnerabilities go away.
There are two reasons I'm guessing the author doesn't see himself as part of the working class.
1. He doesn't make fun of the working class like he does to the other two. Either because he doesn't know them well enough to do so, or because he doesn't want to insult them.
2. The UAW locals in the Bay Area represent graduate students, postdocs, and nonprofit workers. No one in "service jobs or government jobs" or "nurses, teachers or craftsmen."
Funny, unlike whatever these busybodies in California are doing, I'm actively working to go the opposite direction in my own life - from full time work to the gig economy. I'm hoping to write about this some more, but so far so good a year and a half in. Here are a few directions I'm working towards:

- 40 hours -> 20 hours or less
- boss -> employee-owned
- office -> remote or shared workspaces
- set schedule -> set our own schedule
- being on call -> tech to free us from obligation
- brands -> anonymity
- benefits -> societal evolution towards public healthcare
- egalitarianism -> shared prosperity
- job security -> a scalable job market in the gig economy
- scraping by to make rent -> substantial cashflow (donating plasma, Uber, Lyft, Grubhub, Airbnb, etc etc etc)

I think that last point is the one that the status quo will go after, since they always start with the $$$. I'm dismayed that California has chosen to go this route, as they used to be at the forefront of tech and innovation.

The above points are loosely based on concepts from Burning Man (although I've never attended, sadly). Mostly regarding humanism and decommodification.

Can anyone think of some more points to add, or other sources of cashflow?

Yep. This "Clean Network" BS reminds me of the "Golden Shield" project (official name of the project that China's firewall is part of). Not something I'd expect from the US.
From my experiences I've heard they prefer Uber solely because of surge pricing, so they can make more money. Many drivers only drive Lyft because Uber attracted early on the more price conscious users, who initially likely checked both apps for cheapest price and cancelled more expensive ride; Uber subsidized rides to a higher amount and in more markets AFAIK.
They can't forbid you from working in your off time but now you're their employee -- you work 8 hours straight during which you're not allowed to work for a competitor or you're fired. If you want to work for Lyft for another 8 hours after that, go ahead. But Lyft isn't going to let you work for 2 hours and pay you benefits.
It's possible to criticize the national security state in the U.S. while not losing sight of the fact that China is run by an authoritarian government guilty of abuses at a completely different order of magnitude.

That difference is important, because a lot of people even in this thread seem to completely lose sight of it.
I would stop my opposition to voter ID immediately if everyone could agree that the FEC had a new job, to make sure every eligible voter had valid ID, it was free, and the FEC was properly staffed and funded to make it happen.

Caveat: jogging strollers aren't recommended for babies before at least six months, because they don't really have any neck muscles to handle changes in direction or stopping. Wait until they can hold their own head up and look around. BUT you can use that time to try running with an empty stroller at least once, it feels pretty different and also you might notice some unexpected obstacles along your normal route!

I agree that the bribes are horrendous. But they're also what you get from a system that incentivizes corruption. You can't expect Indian bureaucracy to be like German bureaucracy, because the incentives are so different for the players at ground level.

The alternative is to pay public servants well and charge a very large fee for the permits to finance that. Then, deal corruption on top of that without impunity.

However, the culture itself has to support that. The culture of demanding bribes for documents shows that there's a parallel market in play to which the bureaucratic system has been subverted.

> Uber does not determine the rate, the market do

Not true. Uber's algorithm sets the rate within certain profitability margins which are determined by uber, "the market" is very artificial since customers only ever see the rates that uber decides they should see rather than what some drivers would actually offer.

> Uber won't find drivers if the rate is too low, for example because it's lower than the costs, lower than the risk, or lower that the competition. Uber (and the driver too) won't find customers if the rate is too high.

Right... uber deliberately structures the market through their explicit control of the price. The price is only "too low" or "too high" with respect to uber's business goals not with respect to what the actual market would do.

There is the story about a man who invented a way to coat glass with diamonds. He was negotiating to sell his invention to Huawei when they shipped one of his samples to China even though he instructed them not to because it was export controlled technology.
