I love how your comment is grayed out with a child comment saying they never heard rhetoric like that in their leftist circles.

At this point I can only assume ill intent, since we are bombarded daily with rhetoric likening any action by the POTUS and his admin to something nazist.
I've run into a number of dads that drive really hard, always at the expense of sleep. They seems to die early, 40s 50s. Might be possible.

I'm in a similar kids/work situation and it's going very rough at best. But then again I'm a completely terrible parent, barely capable as a normal functioning adult, and my kids inherited the coked up hummingbird trait from their mother.
Why can't we have a new worker classification that allows gig workers to have both the flexibility the job entails + better benefits/protections?
Yes, Sudan hasn't been totally ignored, but the 3 classical areas of Rome, Greece, and Egypt have gotten a very disproportionate share of work, with France and the Levant/near east as second fiddles. On that scale, I think it's fair to describe Sudan and other outlying areas (like the Caucasus) as effectively ignored.

The article also isn't talking about "Europeans are racist and didn't appreciate black people". It's referencing about how Sudanese archaeology has been plagued by Diffusionism, a formerly dominant school of thought that's come under heavy criticism in the past 40ish years. Some people, myself included, will argue that diffusionism is a product of prejudiced ideologies and worldviews, but that's at least one step removed from what you're suggesting.
Genuine question: what state government would you look to for a better model?
CEO is the primary but everyone in a startup needs to take responsibility for this. The core goal of a startup is to discover a "scalable and repeatable" business model.

Theoretically both should fall under the same umbrella as "ideology", but in reality religion is given special protections. eg. in US law, religion is a protected class (you discriminate on it), whereas political affiliation isn't.
No Corona Park(it's actually Flushing Meadows-Corona Park) is the name of an actual park, named in part after Corona one of the the neighborhoods it's located in.
Seems like a strange pair of languages to compare/contrast given that they are for such different use-cases.
The cognitive overhead of programming Rust need only be applied if you're programming systems or code that need fine control over memory. OCaml is a general purpose language with GC and much higher levels of abstraction that can be quite performant - or F# (for OCaml-like) or other mainstream ecosystems like .netcore or jvm that a much wider choice of libs than Rust. (And these also usually have a path to native or js and/or webasm.)

I really don't get the whole "rewrite it in Rust" thing at all, especially when 95% of those applications would be perfectly performant in a language that lets you focus on your domain, not on making the borrow-checker happy.

IMHO if your code is scoped to the lifetime of a call or transaction of some sort or has very simple allocation needs, then fine -- but if you want to have complex inter-relationships between objects and interesting data-structures in a long-running process then you're in for a world of hurt.
I was a little surprised that there was no mention of mental illness. A human/reptile hybrid race is secretly controlling us all to serve an unknown agenda? I know that could be used for humor, but really it's just sad.
When Tesla/Waymo/Uber/Lyft roll out actual self-driving technology in the future and people complain "robots are taking our jobs!" we can point to this legislation and say "actually, no, it was the politicians"
> draining swamps

How does that work? I moved to a civilised place in Italy, where the swamps have been drained centuries ago etc etc; there is no malaria anymore.

Yet, nowadays there are tons of mosquitos, I have nets on all my windows and doors and yet I have to occasionally kill them either mechanically (I'm getting good at it but still) or using poisons.

My <1y child has huge reactions when bit; I tend to stay inside because it's so annoying to get bit all the time; sprays work but not 100%, as if those mosquitos are adapting against the poisons we throw at them.

Are these non malaria-carrying mosquites more adapted to breed with less water?
Did we stop doing a good job draining the swamps?
100% of the thousands of Uber drivers I've talked to over the past 8 years have said work flexibility is their greatest advantage. Many of them already have other commitments and drive for extra income. If they wanted a FT driving job, they would've gotten one.
I kind of agree with this advice, because, I am using it at present, and we are really moving fast.

The most valuable thing is your ideas but only in the present. Ideas are living things that unsmart with time...

The more you shape things, the less freedom you will give to yourself about the future.

Ideas are moving things in the head and should be kept like this.

Stick to just one month planning ahead is largely enought.

Like best code is no code at all, over-planning is just wasting time.
Remember a lot of people try these options because they post or watch controversial content. Now what happens when dissidents, or anti-dissidents, whatever all share their IPs with the world.

The privacy scare that Snowden brought to our attention is kind of abstract--"someday a different regime may use this data against me". But some lunatic who tracks you down because of an ideological dispute is a very real and physical threat.

They are free to enact censorship, you could say. And users are free to identify where that censorship has taken place, react to it and let it inform our opinion or use of reddit.
What about the countless clickbait channels whose content you immediately regret clicking upon viewing? What about the ones that prey on the short attention span of kids and thrive on YouTube's recommendation algorithm putting them in an endless sequence of generic content? You can't get your time or money back, even if you despised the content.

> What about all the one-off bicycle/car maintenance videos I watch? Or a cool animation someone linked me? Or that music video from my favorite band?

They don't get paid! Unless, you'd like them to. :) I think it makes more sense to use adblock and deliberately give your time or money to the creators whose content you truly value. If it was a one-off video that you derived personal value from, toss them a couple bucks (Paypal, a month of Patreon) or temporarily turn off your adblock and watch a video of theirs.

If they have no outlets for you to directly give them money, it's highly likely that they don't see YouTube as a means to make money.

EDIT: Also, if it's a video from your favorite band -- dude, buy some merch already!
> At the risk of being early, RIP CloudFormation.

At the risk of audience running out of pop corn, Cloudformation if the only thing you really need for Infra as a Code in AWS. Nothing else. ECS Cluster, ECS Service, TaskDefinition, ALB - it's all that's needed to orchestrate containers.
I think it probably seems like an outlier from a euro-centric (in a more literal sense, not in the pejorative sense) point-of-view because it is, in general, close enough to European cultures to be similar but distant enough to be distinct. Whereas other cultures/histories may be easier to bucket as "clearly distinct" and therefor not outliers.

Not many states are in the position California is. No matter how poorly run the state might be, people are unlikely to leave due to existing business and weather. Hard to compare.
I’m very happy with pass too.
Amazon is littered with awesome tech that took 2-3 years to build and launch but failed because there was no market for it. I worked on one such product, a micro payments web service.

It took me a while to realize that that’s just how Amazon operates. Carry out experiments all the time, most fail, but the ones who click take off spectacularly. As Bezos says, don’t take Hail Mary bet. Take smaller bets all the time.
I think that’s what is proposed in prop 22. Maybe it could be argued it needs to do more ... but seems like a step towards it.
And we're free to call out their hypocrisy (in selective application of censorship)
CEO. The product owner should be finding what the customer needs, but as soon as you have more than one customer you'll have antagonistic pressures on what to implement next. It's up to the CEO to make the decision which customer needs to actually fulfil (with information and input from everyone else). It's up to the CTO to make those decisions happen in a way that doesn't stop the company doing more things in the future.
I use ceil/floor (and make people use whenever I can) if something is going to happen when something hits the ceiling or drops to the floor. And avoid if it is just for clamping.
Well, it's probably fair to say that it's been ignored by the general public, but then so have most really old civilisations; in the popular imagination, there was nothing except Greece, Rome and Egypt until this side of 1 AD.

> hinges on the current fad of 'Europeans are all racists and didn't appreciate a Black civilization', which is of course wrong.

... eh, until last century it was fashionable to attribute it to "just an Egypt copy, basically".

EDIT: On the latter topic, RE the guy who looted the Sudanese pyramids:

> He tried to sell the treasure, but at this time nobody believed that such high quality jewellery could be made in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The stuff he stole ultimately ended up in two German museums for _Egyptian_ artifacts.
I find your whole line of argument to be pretty frail and ignorant, I wouldn't bar you from being able to work though.

If you don't see how this kind of system would be abused you have a very peculiar perspective on life.
> When a worldview grows in a group of people that requires the belief that this trust has been fundamentally broken by the institutions of modern society, modern society feels the effects

I think this causality is backwards. These people already feel that the social contract has been broken, and then FE falls into their lap as an explanation for what they're feeling.

The disillusionment with our modern social structures is entirely valid and personally healthy. The real question is how to keep that feeling from collapsing into simplistic red herrings like FE, "jet fuel can't melt steel beams", or Trumpism. It's more difficult to hold nuanced anti-mainstream-propaganda opinions in your head, than to rally around a counter-fiction.

Then again, maybe this has been the genesis of all religion - reassuring narratives to assuage cognitive dissonance between what the rulers say and how you're actually treated. And the ones that end up being memetically successful are the ones that at least inspire people to do productive things.
They could make changes to their offering (like showing the end location, etc) to avoid this, which they are avoiding.
Definitely not feasible to keep drivers on as employees legally. Some issues that come to mind that seem incredibly hard for uber/lyft to enforce but are mandatory for California employees:

* Meal & rest breaks

* Callback pay

* Split Shift premiums

* Reporting premium (if you show up to work, but less work to do than half your scheduled shift)

The only way I see this working is somebody started some "Driver Pool" company that employed drivers fulltime and then Uber/Lyft/Doordash/Grubhub/etc all use that company.
What about introducing UBI in Iceland? Only 364K population, and they have their own currency :)

Better yet would be to have universal healthcare to decouple access to healthcare from being employed.
Which would kill the subsidised console market, nobody is going to buy a console for $600, and would just turn iOS into a clone of the fragmented dumpster fire that is the Android app ecosystem.

This is why we can't have nice things.
Business and (especially) consumer lenders are, by and large, much more risk-averse than investors, almost by definition. They would absolutely not be okay with near-indefinite loss; they would never regain their principal!
To my understanding one of the design constraints behind webassembly semantics where given by wanting to keep implementation burden low for browsers.

In particular my understanding is that most of MVP WebAssembly almost a subset of asm.js in term of expressivity.

Do some of the safety measures you consider translate well in this model?

I’m a sucker for conspiracy theories, like the Bermuda Triangle. Aliens abducting cows and lizards living inside the Queen. I don’t believe in any of it, but I’ve just loved that stuff since I was a kid. So I actually used to follow /r/conspiracy, but I stopped around the 2016 election when everything started being about American politics.

Not sure what happened, but it went from “the lone gunmen” to “angry American central” over night, and the place has royally sucked since.
I'm not wholly convinced drivers were ever really contractors, but by what measure are drivers employees? We really need a third classification

I don’t see why the target of the hateful comment should matter when deciding that something should be removed. If I comment in more vulgar terms saying that “penguins are evil and people who like them should die”, that’s likely to be seen as hateful and Reddit may decide it doesn’t have its place on there platform, the fact that I’m talking about love for penguin doesn’t really matters.

We aren’t talking about a government definition of hateful, in which case you would expect limits to be set by immutable characteristics, instead it’s about Reddit deciding what is off limit for them.
I am glad to hear that.
100% this. This wouldn't be a political fight if people weren't worried about not being taken care of when they or a family member gets sick or hurt.
I often see [a, b, c].sort[1] which I think is very neat.
Seems like that's what Lyft was hoping would be sufficient compromise. Per the release:

"We’ve spent hundreds of hours meeting with policymakers and labor leaders to craft an alternative proposal for drivers that includes a minimum earnings guarantee, mileage reimbursement, a health care subsidy, and occupational accident insurance, without the negative consequences."
They are also very responsive on Github for logged issues and questions. They responded within the hour to an update to an existing issue that I logged.

These services benefit from offering the viewer what they want.

I'm very cynical about any attempts to curb this. I suspect these services will go for stuff that they know, through A/B testing and whatnot, won't affect their bottom line.

Let's say they show particularly harmful and scientifically 'banana-shit' videos, but with a disclaimer in a sidebar that the content in question is 'disputed'.

I imagine viewers are much more drawn to the content and will filter out the sidebar because 1) they don't notice, 2) they don't care because it's just a sidebar, or at worst 3) the libs are trying to make us be okay with homos/feminist/etc.

A provider of said content could defend their 'wokeness', a consumer could just ignore the sidebar or use it to point out how 'the libs' control things.

Meanwhile the rest of us, if we get past the partisanship, are left wondering how such few actors got to decide on so many societally-relevant topics. Surely we've progressed beyond having to deal with feudal lords?

It is... there is same data from uber. This is a classic case of politicians and pundits not understanding the reality on the ground.

I suspect that California is going to backpedal on this pretty quickly. Uber and Lyft are popular. Going back to taxis is going to be very unpopular.

IMO, if the California Republican party was smart they would make this a wedge issue in the next election. "Elect us, and we'll make it possible to use Uber again."
The average person's response to being told they'd have to take another driver's test isn't to replace driving with Uber/Lyft. You're in a unique position to be able to afford to replace all driving with ridesharing, since gas+insurance+maintenance costs are much lower than say, a month of commuting to an office via rideshare.
This is a illuminating read. I think the example drives it home.

For example, the IP address of one individual Wikipedia contributor revealed that the person has:

1. Edited hundreds of pages on Wikipedia about television shows, both North American and international. The interest in TV shows was extensive and specific, but the details are not included here for privacy reasons;

2. Edited dozens of pages on Wikipedia related to history topics;

3. Participated in a discussion board about a television channel; and

4. Visited a site devoted to sexual preferences following an online search for a specific type of person.
Overpayment in credit card terms is typically when you pay more than the full balance, not more than the minimum payment. Getting a refund under the given circumstances (1500 on a 15k bill with a 150 min pay) might be possible from some lenders, but would almost certainly involve a lot of time on the phone with customer service reps.
Oh yeah. They removed that tidbit from the ToS but still enforce it the same way.
Given that Oracle has never run a large b2c application before and its lifeblood is enterprise b2b, I don't see how this synergy is even worth mentioning. Obviously there's a lot of money to be made in an application like tikok, the question is if you can run it and maintain it's brand successfully. Anyone familiar with Oracle is going to question that and that's what the journalism is going to reflect. A synergy with a data collection company (a b2b company they bought), isn't particularly worth mentioning.
Am I nuts, or is the heart of this issue really the fact that our healthcare system is built on tying benefits to full time jobs?
> and that nobody should be sexualised without their consent - which cannot appropriately be given by people who are underage

Except that we expect parents to be stewards for our children and give consent on their behalf, except in cases where we've decided that parents cannot be trusted to do so and we outlaw that activity for children (sex, alcohol, etc), or that consent does not fully convey the situation (a parent forcing an unwilling child to get a haircut is not viewed the same as a child forcing an unwilling child to play a full contact sport which is also not viewed the same as a parent forcing a child to get into a fistfight on the street).

Where do parents sexualizing their children for television fall into this? I dunno. If they were doing it for an individual that came over and paid in person, we'd have some real probing questions, but it's okay when it's on TV for a national audience?
I can apply the same argument to science: all of the laws of physics are symmetric with respect to time and space. But all of the data I have direct access to comes to me from a privileged frame of reference that I call "here and now". Therefore, all of this data is in direct conflict with physics, and so physics must be wrong.
But "min" does take the minimum: `Math.min(1,3) == 1`

Well, no. We already have two alternatives to the Google Play Services that are perfectly functional; MicroG and Huawei Play Service. I don't know why it would have to be "a mess", or "a crippled ghost town".

For me, the reason why iPhone are great are because of the hardware. FOSS alternatives to Apple's software that maintain compatibility are almost assured.
This isn't my field so forgive me if this is a little confusing, but consider the big bang's origin. We have empirical data that suggests that the universe is expanding. To be clear, the interpretation of the data is that it's expanding, but it's non-controversial since virtually everyone accepts that almost all galaxies are moving away from each other. It's also not controversial to suggest the idea to creationists that everything could have come from one point, and that point expanded in all 3 dimentions (time, space) then matter.

The belief on the creationist side is that this original event must have a cause, because everything else in the universe that we can empirically study obeys that principle.

The belief on the atheist side, for lack of a better label, is that the universe was/got created out of nothing. It must be possible for it to occur without God, in the purest sense of the word atheist.

But whether God created it or it created itself, there are only interpretations and no direct empirical evidence.
If the alternative is not there yet and you are not helping build it, it is even worse!

I don't mind people that tell me they need, e.g, Photoshop to do their work. I do mind the fact that they don't contribute to any alternative. Just paying the subscription to Adobe and shrugging it off, instead of hedging and contributing to the alternatives? Shame on them.

Imagine 10% of every Adobe customer donating 10% annually of what they pay to Adobe to contribute to the development of an open alternative, we'd have hundreds of millions of dollars. How long would it take until Adobe would be no longer needed or at least playing against a more leveled field?

Even more in the case of the stereotypical web developer that uses a Macbook when every other tool they used is FOSS. Puts $2k on a laptop that you will only cripple you and work against you and still think this is somehow good "User Experience"? To me this is like failing an IQ test.
I mean, I've been seeing out of my window in downtown Seattle hate groups marching on a nearly nightly basis, the difference with these hate groups being that they burn down vehicles, buildings, and other properties and violently clash with the police in order to forcefully enact their hateful/racist political policies, that hate me because of the color of my skin and the political polices I support. But sure, there was one time an entirely peaceful demonstration by people on the other side of the aisle, that was so hateful! They have to be banned, deplatformed, censored, removed, destroyed. But the people roaming my city, setting fire to the building opposite of mine a few weeks back because the owner is an "evil white capitalist"? They're good to go, no hate there.
