The big problem with growth mindset isn't the mindset itself, it's the theoretical framework and the broader milieu surrounding it. It would be one thing if the concept were simply put forward as a way of framing and thinking about certain differences in how people learn in certain contexts. But there's apparently now a faction of education experts who have decided that growth mindset is Right and fixed mindset is Wrong, and so we're failing children if we don't "educate" them into having a growth mindset. Even if that means totally ignoring their lived experience and making them fill in a bunch of worksheets that are basically just "Goofus and Gallant" for beliefs instead of actions.

I was a bit surprised too, but presumably the priority right now is helping their former employees.
> I always wonder about the specifics of how these happen!

Once I read someone saying they where blind and had forgotten the context or navigated back or something without noticing. I think there were some interesting follow up questions as well.
> can a company like Uber lay out a plan for restructuring and be like "ok we'll comply but over the course of a year and here's the plan"?

IANAL, but well, this is kinda basic. All laws come with instructions about that. Some do give them that time, other laws do not and say they must be followed immediately.
> Yes, it's risky to have a business plan that depends on breaking the law.

The business plan didn’t break the law; a new law was introduced to disrupt the existing business plan. This is pretty obvious no matter your opinion about Uber’s business model or the novel law in question.
more players in this space is definitely a good sign. it (in my opinion) means the idea is viable and competition is healthy.
Maybe one way is to go back through some past situations and review what mental models would have been interesting and/or useful to apply. That might help train yourself to apply them in the future.

What changed and did this work?

I had CenturyLink DSL in Seattle circa 2009. IIRC it worked fine and wasn't absurdly expensive.

Some things to think about...

It's important to look at total diversity and changes within that total. They don't need to happen together.

Noting differences between the US and other places like EU is useful. Might there be something happening in one place that's not happening in another? Identifying differences can provide insight.
It's not Genius' content. It's the musicians', who actually wrote the lyrics. If it was their content, they could sue for copyright infringement. Google has been sued on those grounds, and forced to change how they do their business (e.g. provide ContentID to handle copyright infringement on YouTube).

But I suppose we could say "don't scrape and present content outside of a regular search result". But then again, Google claims they haven't done so - that they got those lyrics from LyricFind, a lyric licensing platform - and Genius didn't present any evidence that this wasn't the case. So I'm not clear on how could any laws help here.

Finally, the question was not about Genius, it was about allowing competitors to Google to emerge. I don't see how would this help.
FWIW, I have had the exact opposite situation in multiple locations across the country -- every DSL (and, once, FTTH) connection I've had has been rock solid -- every Comcast internet connection has been flaky -- in one place, the connection went down every afternoon. Multiple Comcast technicians couldn't figure out the problem.

I so agree with your last statement.

If you're in an area they serve, getting Sonic is much better, BTW. They can operate over AT&T FTTH and DSL. It's a tad more expensive, but the customer service is unbeatable.

Well let's entertain this possibility. It then seems very easy for Google to report why it disabled or why you were flagged.

Playing the guessing game is not helpful. In my experience, things just go dark and you get very little or no helpful messaging about resolving the problem.

The employee has absolutely no control over that and sure, you could pass regulations - but those regulations are going to be fairly difficult to enforce.

But you know, we could just start trying to make sure everyone has decent internet. Work isn't the only benefits to this.

The (substantial) one they were forced to pay Brendan for firing him. You see, CA law protects employees from being fired for political activities done outside work -- this was a law put on the books a long time ago, originally to defend unionization campaigns and communists from being fired, but it means I can donate to the Pro-Life-Anti-Gay-Anti-Black party all day long, attend their conventions, give speeches, etc, and it's illegal for you to fire me for that.

Funny how so few people know about this law.

That's why they had to come to a settlement to pay him so that he would agree to leave and not pursue his rights under the law.
I would recommend SQL and Relational Theory by CJ Date.

It completely changed how I use SQL. Before reading it, I had about a decade of experience with SQL. I didn't really understand the theory underneath. I also didn't understand how to write SQL in a way that adheres to the theory.

You can think of this book as being the closest we have to "SQL: The Good Parts".
> Either way, the article wasn't intended as a complete in-depth examination of the concepts of freedom and liberty (and the possible distinction between them), but rather offer some commentary on the state of the public debate surrounding these things as I see it.

Respectfully, habibi, your argument can be easily broken down because you conflate the two concepts in your piece, so you should expect push back on that aspect of it.

What the GNU philosophy advocates is that these freedoms are necessary to make sure YOU are free from corporations, governments, etc. What you keep conflating freedom with in the piece is with the liberty to do as you please. In the GNU argument, the liberty to do as you please with code is contingent on you being free from oppressive structures that are made by those who write it. A good example is why the press is able to do as they please being contingent on a government guaranteeing a "freedom of the press", i.e. freedom from their interference.

From the "Freedom or Power?" GNU argument:

"We believe you should decide what to do with the software you use; however, that is not what today's law says. Current copyright law places us in the position of power over users of our code, whether we like it or not. The ethical response to this situation is to proclaim freedom for each user, just as the Bill of Rights was supposed to exercise government power by guaranteeing each citizen's freedoms."

Hopefully, I was able to show you the connection between the two now.

EDIT: Grammar
Uber (& Lyft) run extensive background checks at the state and federal level and are regulated to do so at the city, county, state level depending on the city. It's actually already a pretty expensive process and overall the company eats the cost for all of it (as one should expect).

For the number of drivers who are 40+ hours, thats <15% of the driving population and so if this kind of law sticks it definitely greatly impacts who will be able to work for Uber and for Uber to still make money off that.

Overall it's a mess, AB5 is a poorly written law :/
Thanks for letting me know. Since the tingling starts within 15 - 30 mins even in cold conditions, I don't think sweat had a role to play (but I will keep this in mind).

The article I attached has highest number of visitors since I published, several people have also asked me the reason for it. Unfortunately, it often gets dismissed as wearing it too tight and I have definitely proven that it's not the case with me.

I'm planning a blind test with an elaborate setup to conclusively prove that heart rate monitor is hurting me and others; perhaps then we could proceed to find why.
There are plenty of alternatives to Adsense but none of them are comparable.

Which is why I stated that they should be run secondary to AdSense. At least they'd be ready to go when Google decided to shut Techdirt down.

Eek, Forge price starts at $49 but the next tier up is $166, after which it incrementally increases. That’s quite a jump. If my budget is in that price range, then such a jump is likely a huge deal for me.
The "certainty of over-dilution" is an important technical point. It seems to be a consequence of the illiquidity and high friction of conventional priced equity rounds. But it may be possible to design a fundraising instrument that avoids this problem.

For example: company raises $10M Series A, issuing 2 million new shares at $5. Let's modify our special Series A docs to include a provision where the company has the option to repurchase up to 1 million of these shares at any time. The pre-agreed repurchase price is $5 per share plus some time-based interest rate and/or a fixed markup. (Hmm, this sounds a lot like convertible debt...)

If the company becomes profitable quickly they may exercise the option to repurchase the 1 million shares, reducing dilution while providing both an immediate return and ongoing upside to the investor.

If the company needs the longer runway, or simply decides it's more beneficial to use the cash to fund growth, they already have it and the investor has correspondingly higher ownership.

It's sort of like a vesting schedule for investors.

If such a structure was agreed to, the headline "Raise Less Money" would probably become "Burn Less Money". Right now, the mere raising of the money causes the dilution; in this alternative structure, it's the actual net consumption of the money that causes the dilution, because the alternative use of that cash can always be to reduce dilution.
Definitely won't disappear with an attitude like "It’s better for the virus to burn through young people".
Eh, they need to hire, Mozillians need jobs, typically people who make what a Mozillian made will have a lifestyle that demands they find a new job pretty quickly, so they may not get to be that picky.

A better example is probably the minimum wage, which also imposes government-mandated conditions on employment, applies to adults, and is countered by very similar arguments: it harms economic activity, and interferes with the ability of adult citizens to enter into whatever employment agreement they desire.

Whether the minimum wage actually harms economic activity does not have a clear answer; you can find studies all over the place in terms of conclusions.

And the supporting argument--that businesses should be regulated because they have asymmetrical power when hiring--is also used to justify other policies that HN folks tend to like, such as the California prohibition on non-compete agreements.
It is definitely biased.
I guess that was more what I was wondering.

Was the all-female cast intentional or just incidental to the team that worked on the ad?

I think it's perfectly fine either way, but I was curious.

At $600-$800 I think I'd give it a go--basically an iPad Mini (a form factor which I love) that folds up when not in use. I'm surprised they didn't show more gaming applications. I think you could use half the screen as a controller and the other half to play the games and that would be an upgrade over most current touch controls.
> staffing firms often hire young and attractive reps to distract.

LOL, what? "The only reason we used staffing firms was cuz them reps be dummy thicc".

I worked for a small/medium ISP for a while and did a lot of hiring for entry-level and mid-level roles. If we threw an ad up on Craigslist for DC, NYC, or Baltimore we would get back, easily, 500+ responses.

The signal-to-noise ration was insane. A huge chunk of the responses would be spam or automated-resume-slinging-bots, and like 30-40% would be immediately disqualified for being in different states/countries or being wildly unqualified. Even after adding a few homemade filters and a basic online tech quiz, we'd still end up with like 40 candidates to screen further. The viability of these candidates was... not great... and a lot of them tended to split after a couple years, and several didn't last 6 months.

Then we started using a headhunting firm and they did all of the sorting, vetting, and gave us a great 3-to-6-month hiring window. We could ask them for 3 decent clients -- "decent" was relative sometimes -- and have them in a couple weeks, get them hired comparatively quick, and turn them to full-timers in 6 months if they were good; usually we did.

Some of the hires were for very specialized roles (frame relay/fiber optic types) that often took a while to source or had to be lured out of other places, and they were generally good at doing that too.

I'd never want to be one of the contract-to-hire candidates again (once was enough) but I'd be hard pressed dissuade others from using them.
I can't wait to play! I wonder how it will feel for launching off points for Tweetstorms.
Isn't it funny that Google complains about clickbait while many of there sites/apps do exactly that and have gotten worse in the recent years.

Like in Gmail Google ads "pretend" to be mails, being exactly formatted like a mail and interleaving! with other mails.

(Sure there is a small Ad label but it's indisguishable from a mail starting with Ad... in the subject)

Similar things can be observed fruit custom page/domain search the first many entries looking like search results are actually advertisement pointing to somewhere outside if the domain you search, i.e. definitely not what you want when you do a search explicitly limited to one domain.
I’m confused, what does Uber have to do with salaried employees?

This is the workflow.

1. Gig worker applies for Uber in the app.

2. Uber approves the employee as a W2 employee. Their schedule is...whatever they want. They never get scheduled for a shift. They never get “fired” unless they do something that would get them get kicked off the platform just as it works today.

3. When the driver starts the driving mode, they start the clock on their shift. This counts the number of hours for the purposes of healthcare and other benefit requirements. Perhaps if they deny a ride request, the clock stops or considers the previous ride to be the end time.

There is no legal requirement for an employer to fire a W2 employee over being unwilling to work a shift. There’s no legal requirement for a W2 employer to set a predetermined schedule.

What is the problem here, can you explain?
Have you done this? I've run remnant alternatives and quite honestly the RPMs almost make it pointless.

I'm talking $0.01 - $0.05 CPM when Adsense was averaging ~ $3
Some states have regulated so municipal ISPs can't start up or have no control. I haven't read an article saying Municipal ISPs are any worse than commercial and often cheaper and less hostile too. Funny how that happens when the profit motivator is taken away.

I'd argue that ISPs end up using infrastructure that is common (think tragedy of the commons) like a water pipe or power line and should be open or publicly owned/maintained. By exploiting exclusive ownership of a common resource, ISPs become rent seeking and suck cash from both customers and taxpayers. As long as they hold ownership of the lines, they can charge what they want or you have to pay a huge cost for a new fiber line or have no access.

So seize the lines, just like water and power, and allow well regulated companies to facilitate the utility like many states do for power. Allow cities to push for municipal control and management (ex taking over line maintenance in exchange for providing services. Force it into a system where it pays for its own upgrades vs millions to execs and share holders, just like health insurance in many countries.
Without debating the technical/cancer type of issues... Isn't 5G supposed to finally make wires obsolete? You'll put a device in your house (from say, Verizon) which speaks 5G on one side, and maybe has an ethernet jack and/or speaks Wi-Fi on the other side.
Well this just sucks. As a frequent SF visitor, Uber/Lyft used to be my primary way of moving around. I don't drive.

I also don't see who benefits from this. You had a well functioning service for the users that will be disrupted. You had a flexible way to earn for drivers that will be disrupted.

I chat with drivers a lot (to practise my English) and lots of drivers really like chatting too ( A lot of them were recent immigrants as well and perhaps like to practise their English with a non native). Many drivers were doing this as a part time thing. Or doing this before they went on to better things. One for example was studying Architecture. I have even had a Porsche pick me up and the driver just wanted to get out of his house.

A lot of drivers were sure forced to drive for Uber for lack of other alternatives but that is not Uber's problem. They did not add to the problem. Society failed there. This law helps no one and is a clear example of no skin in the game virtue signalling trumping common sense.
Interesting framing, because the history of anti-development is using government powers to take away private property rights. As an example I own an empty lot that is zoned for, say, up to four unit apartment building and then the voters all decide to reduce my zoning such that I can only build 1 house. This is a taking, right? That's NIMBYs taking what I have because they want something else.

Another example is a bunch of old ladies get together and have my house designated as a "historically significant" structure, thereby robbing me of my ability to build anything else, or even repaint the window sashes. You wouldn't believe that in Berkeley, California, this is perfectly legal without the agreement of the owner, right? In fact it's legal to do this without even _notifying_ the owner.

Finally, there's a pretty strong moral and ethical argument to be made that if I'm born and raised in a town and I live there my whole life but due to a housing crisis I am forced to move elsewhere, I should have had some input into the government of the original place. We shouldn't be saying that we divest our children in favor of their parents, just because they are the incumbents. That's just wrong.
I love my Windows phones, but alongside Project Reunion this looks like a capitulation that the Windows strategy for mobile devices is a lost battle.

Even Windows 10X now looks like it won't be coming as expected.

Given how the whole Android ecosystem works, in terms of updates and Java support, is not as I would like, but I guess one needs to take such things how they are and not how they could be.

So "Courier" could have been Windows, but it ended up being Android based.
Haven't they been misclassifying employees the whole time?
>Establishing tort (civil justice), more or less.

Tort is very important for a functioning free market. The government just doesn't have the capability to police everyone, and civil court allows the people to police each other. Which exactly why large corporations move to eliminate their civil liability with users.

This article is incredibly biased with completely unscientific claims seeming to stem from personal opinion. PDF is a great format due to the fact that the document will look exactly as it was intended and how you would perceive the document in real life. Using it for scientific papers, CVs or similar reinforces trust and that the author actually invested time to create a well formatted document. Additionally it is difficult to modify which also reinforces the authenticity of the contents.
Sure, but... not everywhere has a local library. Parts of Indiana do not, and if you aren't in the library's tax district, you might have to pay to use the library to get a library card, which allows you to use the computers/internet. To make matters worse, in rural areas libraries might be in the next town over and have short hours. In one city, their summer hours were basically 10-3: During the summer, they closed at 6. They had very limited hours on saturday and were always closed on Sunday. You could, quite literally, work most of the time they were open. And for more fun, they only had limited space for computers. If there was a wait, you only had 30 minutes of time.
