Then put some kind of system in place to have on-call duty, where you get a small share of the normal payment for being available and then getting the normal rate while you are driving to the customer and driving them to their destination.

All of this is already practiced in some place in the world. Sure, it's not as easy as creating an account on the app and off you go, but the driver flexibility of choosing when to drive doesn't seem to be so hard to me.

Co-founder of intermix.io here (which we sold in March). We came more from the performance monitoring angle (specifically for Redshift), but then shifted to a product that works horizontally across all warehouses, to track usage, workflows and user engagement. "Shift to Data Products" was the narrative we started using in Q4 2019. If you read the copy on the current intermix.io website, I think you'll find yourself nodding. (FYI - we got bought by a small PE Fund that is rolling the product into Xplenty, an ETL product).

My experience is that monitoring data quality is a still an under-appreciated discipline. I've found that most teams still have an "not invented here" mentality, or don't even know they have the problem! That can lead to a "oh, we can just fix it when it happens" type of mentality. But your timing may be better than ours - we started back in 2016.

I haven't played with your product (yet), only took a look at this thread and your website. Some observations:

- SQL Editor - big plus! I think giving your users a space where they can take action is a super value-add, we didn't have that.

- nice work running the tests inside the customer's warehouse. That has two benefits for you. 1) you're not incurring the cost to crunch the metadata, it can get quite expensive, depending on the number of tables in the warehouse. 2) you're avoiding data access issues, getting access to the warehouse was always a hurdle, even though we only needed access to the system tables.

- pricing model. I think the per-seat model is the way to go. We tried charging by number of rows, and size of the warehouse (number of nodes), but then you run into weird situations with customers who are dealing with huge historic datasets, but really only look at the last 30 of data.

My unsolicited $0.02 is that you think hard about distribution. I think you want to think about hitching your wagon to the cloud marketplaces, and Snowflake's marketplace. For example, attaching themselves to Snowflake is what made all the difference for Fivetran.

To be fair to their intentions, the the cultural meaning is different based on social context. This is why successfully policing content on a global or even national social media site is nigh impossible.

When a woman is recounting frustration at being talked over during a meeting and says "kill all men," there's a non-literal connotation based in a belief in patriarchal suppression.

When a man says "kill all women" it reads darker, based on a belief that men subject women to violence specifically based on their gender/sexuality. Even if it's clearly not meant to be taken literally, there's still a dark underpinning culturally (e.g. see Marilyn Manson's 'I Want to Kill You Like They Do in The Movies’)

As a result, "kill all women" is much less likely to be said in mixed company; the more common communication discriminating against women will be longer form, and not easily string-matched.

Therefore, with 'even' enforcement, an offhand complaint about men's place in society will often instantly trigger an automatic deletion/ban, while a misogynistic screed will require human review to be removed.
> You can actually turn off video tracking in YouTube. And the experience completely sucks. It doesn't remember what you have and haven't watched. You can't even resume a video on a different day or device.

But how can we be sure that Google is not storing, using, or keeping this information? If disabling tracking has the same (apparent) effect of not letting it grab the information, I prefer the later. At least I can help them to not "accidentally" track me ;-)

This may sound too pessimistic, but I lost all confidence and respect for these companies.

Here's a YouTube video that summarizes the Dictator's Handbook. It gives an explanation about how the perspective of a dictator/autocrat is different than than someone who is in charge of a democratic organization. Basically, the fewer people you have to answer to, the more you need to reward those few followers by stealing from everyone else. This forms a pyramid scheme where everyone is trying to take as much as they can so they can then redistribute the spoils to their key supporters.

That equation doesn't work out in every city obviously. In SF a trip to the Mountain View (GOOG HQ) by car is an hour and change regardless if you drive or take CalTrain. If you live and work downtown, walking is a perfectly valid option as well.
I wouldn't consider, say, the Santa Cruz mountains remote. I go there all the time when I'm in the Bay Area. But, yes, I'm sure like many things one adjusts their expectations and desires based on their constraints. I'd find not having a car in the Bay Area extremely limiting.
The last bunch of bans was simply a leftist purge, banning several subreddits that at most advocated violence against landlords, not really a "minority".
Waterfall is shit, don't think waterfall. Better is to think about things like work breakdown structures paired with an iterative schedule (aka, sprints). Your WBS establishes the things that you know now, the things that can be done in parallel, and the things that depend on other actions. Your WBS also gives you a rough schedule (but do not take it as gospel because you aren't a prophet). Based on this, you can start prioritizing the work that goes into the iterations. Periodically (with each iteration or after several) you revisit the WBS and determine if what you're doing is keeping you on track, or if it's even still the right structure.

I will say that I recently had to deal with the medical system for a family member, and he was on decent private insurance. We actually would have received better care at a lower cost if he was on Medicare instead. N=1, of course.

I'm pretty sure that Medicare has been shown to be a more effective negotiator than the private insurers and generally operates more efficiently, but I may be misremembering.

Disclaimer that I don't support medicare for all myself, I'd much prefer a model closer to the NHS, with caveats (federal funding, county administration, state oversight).
It's not much of an honor when insurance companies will still screw over those with the benefits. Employer subsidized care distorts the market and hurts everybody.
“Why there is something at all?” The only answer I can satisfy myself with at least a bit is that there is no option for nothing to exist.

At the time, an iPod might have been as innocent enough to not warrant any concern at a security checkpoint. Cellphones, cameras, and any other obvious recording equipment would be more scrutinized whereas a music player would not. Someone like a janitor listening to music while mopping would get less scrutiny than a visitor trying to take a tour of restricted areas with an iPod in their pocket. The visitor has to pass through the same checkpoints but the janitor is a known person, they show up to work all the time and maybe they have a story about how they won a new iPod in a raffle (while actually getting paid to walk around with it). Guards trust the janitor since he's already been vetted so they let him through with it. Or maybe he sneaks it in in the hope that he receives less punishment if caught because it's just an iPod, it's not like he smuggled in a camera. A visitor getting caught with the same iPod would be immediately kicked out get in a lot more trouble because they just received instructions not to bring anything in.

I could not disagree more. I work for a film company and believe me Hollywood has had nothing to do with the weather for fifty years. Very little is actually shot on location in Los Angeles, yet it remains a center.

Silicon Valley is because of the defense industry in WW2? OK sure, but then why not Detroit, Boston, Philadelphia etc. The aerospace industry was in Los Angeles, but that moved, so why couldn't tech move?

Here is my alternate hypothesis: California has always been relatively welcoming to people from all around the world. Places like San Francisco (in particular) and Los Angeles have a very long history of being accepting of new ideas, religions, different ethnicity. Not completely, just more than a lot of other places in the US. So it has been a place where people with new ideas come.

As far as the state government-- yeah it could be better. But so could a lot of states. It is not clear to me that California is a worse run state than many others. Still we all should expect improvement.

> The business model doesn't work if the workforce is not also on-demand.

Have they tried it to confirm it 'doesn't work'? Maybe rideshare companies need to reduce their cut, and start putting more of that money into the driver's pocket. Doesn't mean it can't be a profitable business, though possibly low-margin. Have they tried paring back development costs, marketing costs, etc?
Health insurance and healthcare are very far from the same thing. In my work I am constantly dealing with people who have "great" insurance, but who are going without medical attention.

Sometimes claims are denied. Others spent all their money buying the insurance and now can't afford their co-pay (when they would have been able to easily afford the treatment if not for the cost of the insurance). More often, the system works just as its designed. There's no official denials. No refusals. Just a Kafkaesque runaround that inconveniences and delays treatment so that people get less of it, at a lower quality, and a lower cost for the insurer.

Of course, there's a lot of people who make good livings off the insurance industry (myself included). So there's a lot of vested interests trying to prevent people from being able (or accustomed) to buy medical care with cash, credit, etc.

They should simply decouple health insurance from employment by taxing it as income.
I too am interested in examples. Typically, instead I see straw man “western governments do bad things too” to deflect.

Meal and rest breaks would be easy-ish. Have a button in the driver app to take a rest break available every so often. If it's been too long, force it and don't show rides. Same for meals.

Callback, split shift, and reporting premiums only apply to my knowledge if the shifts are scheduled. I guess it depends if they go towards scheduled shifts over show up whenever, and/or if they can make it 'i'd like to work: yes/no'
Drivers will still take advantage of such a system. Whenever a market is over-supplied, drivers will sign in to collect their free "on-call duty" checks for doing nothing.
> And now macOS is adopting the worst of iOS' draconian policies. You won't be able to run non-notarized apps on macOS on Apple Silicon based computers at all.

Do you have a source for this? I certainly haven't read this anywhere, but I also haven't been keeping a super close eye lately! This would both be really sad and would also essentially destroy the entire OSS community in macOS. (So I'd be very surprised if Apple actually made this change. It would also mean every numerical scientist would have to migrate off the Apple ecosystem, which would be a shame.)
Most of the major VR headset companies (Oculus, HTC, Sony) do not advise that children under 13 use VR. You have to be 13 to sign up for a Facebook account - although I'm not sure if you meant "not allowed" in the sense that you won't let him sign up for an account.

A game's age rating only covers the suitability of the content in the game in terms of things like violence, strong language etc. It does not imply that the game is aimed at or would be enjoyed by a particular age range. There is no special consideration for VR in terms of age ratings.
this whole thread is a travesty
Wouldn't the difference there be between venting resulting in hurt feelings rather than targeted violence?

Reports of genuine, targeted violence against reactionaries are almost non-existent while just a few days ago three trans women were nearly killed while waiting for a cab. If banning r/dropthet (a transphobic subreddit) reduces the amount of eyeballs absorbing phobic talking points that has to be a good thing, no?

I always find these sorts of discussions sorely lacking an understanding of The Tolerance Paradox. Hopefully more folks will begin to see the implicit violence present in minority targeted hate speech. It really does lead to loss of life all too often.
> Use a VPN with Peertube if that is your concern. Problem solved.

No. Don't twist things. That's not my actual concern and doesn't solve the problem that: Peertube exposes your IP to anyone who wants it.

Don't you think people should know that? You responded with "whataboutgoogle?"

Sure, setting up/maintaining/buying a VPN may be a solution for some Peertube users, as has been said a million times in this thread.

I'm a big fan of the Effective Altruism (EA) movement. If you also are interested in making the world a better place, it's worth spending time learning how to communicate better.

Even when you say something that is true, the way you say it matters. As sympathetic as I am to the view that people ought to do the most good, I find your phrasing of this sentiment hard to endorse.

Your goal is probably to encourage more people to give to AMF. You may have better success at expressing how much good AMF does with the money given, and that you would love to see more people considering donating to AMF.

Example: "Donating to AMF and the Malaria Consortium is a very effective way to help people. For $5 you provide a net that protects people from malaria for 3-4 years. This is a very cost-effective way to help others!"

I have a largish 20AH 48V LiFePO4 I bought from PingBattery.com ten years ago for powering a dual motor e-bike project. I ended up also using it to power a mobile robot (rover) project, and sometimes used it for emergency power during blackouts.

I went with lithium iron phosphate because it was perceived safer and more durable. Over the past ten years when it wasn't bouncing around inside a rover or e-bike it spent months or years on a shelf when I forgot about it. Most recently I've dusted it back off and use it to power a large shop fan. Because of it's long storage and infrequent charging/balancing the subset of cells that actually power the microcontroller in the BMS were alarmingly low compared to the others, but after a few cycles it seems to have recovered and all but one of the low cells has balanced to the others. The battery still seems to perform well overall.

It makes sense for Youtube to take a big share of the money given that they have to host and stream the videos but how can OnlyFans justify to get an even bigger share?

Maybe we should have actually listened to the the uber and Lyft drivers (most of whom did not support this change, and I don’t think it’s because they are stupid and duped) and see why they wanted to stay part-time, work-as-you-want contractors, rather than just decide for them. Yes Uber and Lyft share some of the blame for cutting services completely rather than giving it a try with higher prices. But it’s also yet another example of CA attempting to “help” people in a totally self defeating way (and more cynically, a huge handout to taxi companies, and a kick in the ribs of Uber and Lyft while they’re struggling). Nobody wanted this except a vocal group of self righteous individuals and taxi companies

If the only option is to be full time I imagine it must. You can't bee full time on both services.
I think you can employ W-2-style employees without providing them healthcare. It’s a perk, but not legally required to have a W-2 employee.

I think the heart of the issue is the entirely artificial split between the concept of employee and contractor. (Much like the arbitrary split between taxi and car service in nyc.)

Making everyone a contractor for every job, with the terms of the job specified in the contract, seems much more straightforward. I don’t think that the concept of “employment” needs to be one size fits all, like standard W-2 is today in the US.

It’s an artifact of tax law, the scam that is withholding (make most people not “feel” their taxes), and a dominant manufacturing economy model that no longer exists in the US.
Religion is definitely not an immutable characteristic - there are many ex-theists, and people often change religion on marriage.

Gender is a can of worms - sex is immutable, gender seems to be (like religion or race) a socially conditioned performance of expected behaviour. Personally I don’t think it’s helpful - we should see ourselves as unique individuals with agency - much less immutable.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm new here, so the advice is appreciated.

I've been using the rule of thumb "does the lifetime of this variable exceed the lifetime of this function" to decide whether to put it in an Rc. Given I'm implementing an interpreter for a GCed language, it seems like I'm pretty much going to have to put everything into an Rc, no? (Another commented mentioned an Arena, but either way it's not the stack).
