Dude, just try it.

Here is a concrete description of this experiment: https://sigpipe.macromates.com/2020/macos-catalina-slow-by-d...

I just reproduced it on a newly installed macOS 10.15.6
27% of people have antibodies, thus 2.4 million were infected.

23k deaths, thus a 1% mortality rate.

I guess this the final nail in the "this is just a flu" .

This is not the only way to employ workers, though.

We often think of "on the clock" employment in terms of shift work, where the worker has a scheduled, fixed-length shift with a single employer, and whether they're actively working during that time or waiting around for the employer to tell them what to do next, they're paid for the hours on the clock.

But it is possible for ridesharing companies to employ workers in "micro-shifts" that last the duration of a single ride.

So, Driver X has two part-time jobs: as a part-time employee of Lyft and a part-time employee of Uber. Driver X is ready to work, so checks the apps, and sees there's a Lyft assignment available. Driver X accepts the ride, and for the duration of that ride, he is working exclusively for Lyft, and Lyft pays him for the time worked. Once that ride ends, his micro-shift with Lyft ends, and he's now available to work for either of his part-time jobs again.

The idea of micro-shifts may seem, at first blush, more like a contractor relationship than an employee relationship. And in the past, gigs that used this model were more likely to involve a contractor relationship -- but they also gave the contractor much more freedom in terms of HOW they accomplished the work.

In contrast, if you look at Uber and Lyft, ignoring the micro-shift aspect, there is very little difference between how those jobs work and how other service-oriented part-time jobs work, in terms of the power the employer has to dictate HOW the work gets done.
I 100% agree, for that reason and more. But I also don't know that I see accessible public transit as being a something to set against accessible point-to-point transportation. One needs both. For the same reasons that everyone needs both.
It was made illegal by the law that was just passed. You can't try to claim it was illegal beforehand in good faith
Great job!!!

In regards to DigitalOcean's load balancing other providers often have a free tier so they have to have a version of load balancing (or routing) built out to direct requests to containers that are spun up to execute your code. With DigitalOcean it's for running deployment apps and we currently do not have a free tier. As such the load balancing there is really meant to distribute load either for redundancy or because a single Droplet is no longer efficient at handling the level of traffic you are receiving.

So that $10/mo load balancer gets you a dedicated pair of DigitalOcean load balancer droplets that are just yours and no one else's and can be configured for load balancing. You need a pair, because if one goes down, that is where your traffic is routed so your site would be offline. So by having two you get redundancy immediately.

I would say that unless you have a significant amount of traffic load balancing isn't really necessary.

And while redundancy is great, remember that anything you add, adds technical complexity, and also introduces other failure states. So while it does at redundancy it also adds overhead of management as other services can now fail.
“ Companies across America are awarding top executives multimillion-dollar “retention” bonuses shortly before declaring bankruptcy”.

Shouldn’t this read: “Companies’ top executives are awarding themselves million dollar bonuses before declaring bankruptcy”.

The moral hazard here is insane.

Secondly, I do find it interesting how rotten execs can hide behind a corporate brand. Corporate scandals are often household names, not so the individuals who were the true instigators of the scandal.
Exploiting one part of the population is often beneficial for the other part of the population. Doesn't make it OK though.
I’m not an expert in the matter, but I imagine that as employees, Lyft and Uber could more strictly penalize them for not accepting rides, which the driver would have to do pretty often if they were driving for multiple platforms simultaneously.
How is it that taxi drivers can be independent contractors, but Uber & Lyft drivers can't? Or am I wrong and all taxi drivers are employees?
Thanks, that could be part of it. I added some of the missing features, namely colored terminal output and getpass (thanks to the reply above), but the memory usage didn't fluctuate much. The D version is still missing websocket support for the "watch" command, but none of the clients use it in the benchmark.
What complicates things, and makes it more interesting, is the precarious state of Revlon.

If they declare bankruptcy and restructure the obligations while the case is pending, Brigade would have been forced to take a loss on the loan. If they try to argue for the money as repayment for the debt, a bankruptcy court could claw back the money and redistribute according to the capital structure (akin to what happened during the Madoff resolution)
The difference being only rich people benefit from tax cuts.

I agree that the blm organization is a scam. I also agree that the people who donate are naive. If those people realized they can save lives for less than $1000 a pop and still donated to blm they'd be immoral.
> There is nothing stopping you from clearing someone else's debt.

But Citibank was not "someone else". Citibank was Revlon's banker.

Imagine if you used BankOfAmerica to pay off your credit card bills monthly. Now imagine that you owe your CC a large amount, but are paying it off month-by-month (using BoA, as always). One month, BoA takes all of the owed money out of your account and sends it to you CC company, thereby paying off your CC debt. How is the CC to know whether you meant it or not?

Note that when building cars flexibility is a trade off. You can switch car type, but the jigs for the car you are not currently making is still a cost, separate lines at near full capacity are a better use of resources. Only if you can forcast demand years in advance to build the factory to the right size. This is a hard problem.

Note that flexible factories have other limits. Honda can't make a large truck in their factory as there isn't room. I don't know if Honda regrets this cost or not.

The death rate is 0.1 so why should we care?
Interesting. I’ve had the exact opposite reaction. At times when I’d suffer from anxiety my most effective remedy would be to sit down outside and observe the stars until that deep feeling of insignificance from really seeing it all presented itself.

Somehow the perspective of my life just being a tiny sparkle in the grand scheme of things would render any stress moot.
Yeah, that'd be great when they shut it all down for the next pandemic
To him, that money comes from 'government' not your payckeck. This is the kind of person who like many doesn't care -he pays almost no taxes, and votes for other people's hard-earned salary to be given to him. It's one if the issues with democracy - 2 wolves and a sheep voting what's for dinner.

These are also the kind of people who think people have a right to free housing, so anyone who worked, saved for 20 years, and bought a house, now owes them free lodging.

This is why people vote for gop eggheads. Because while those corrupt men steal their money, it's a lot less than the entitled masses try to steal.

Yes.

How many times do we have to go through this? A leftist government makes some random law they think will help the people. Then everyone suffers even more.

I don't have a lot of knowledge in history or politics of foreign countries, so perhaps someone here could answer this question:

In the end, time kills us all. Putin is currently 67 years old, I assume he will likely rule for another decade plus before time comes for him. Any hypothesis as to what may happen after Putin? Is it likely he'll "name" a successor who shares his
authoritarian views and the cycle continues?
Why do you prefer to leave undefined behavior?
> The interesting thing is that this may not have been a heartless move, it seems to have been, from what I can tell, a well-meaning move that is going to hurt the very people politicians were trying to help. I feel like this is a theme of the last 100 years repeating itself over and over.

There is a tendency to classify failed left-leaning policies as 'well-intentioned but failures' and right-leaning policies as 'heartless and also failures'. This is a ridiculous dichotomy.

The fact is that everyone knew this was going to happen. It was indeed a heartless policy. The leftist lawmakers that run california could have asked anyone and could have at least feigned interest in helping Uber and Lyft succeed in their state. Instead, they chose to essentially ban their business model with no input from the companies. It is especially egregious because the state has spent the last 50 years building an incredibly car-dependent society, and has failed in its duty to bring any kind of workable public transportation system. Uber and Lyft started to become their finally workable transit system, and the state can't even have that.

I'm done pretending that leftist policies are well-intentioned. We need to start calling them what they are -- evil.
Isn't that second hand? You interviewed the people with first hand knowledge.

Until you don't. Just ask the air traffic controllers' union.

I don't mean this to say I'm anti-union, but just there are net-good and net-bad employers, there are net-good and net-bad unions. For things to get better at the national level everyone is going to have to sacrifice.

If you want an ad-free mobile experience, I recommend 'YouTube Vanced'. I used it for years now, it's basically the YouTube app minus the ads, so you can still use the discovery feature if you'd like.

I'm not sure if the original YT app allows this, but i'm able to minimize videos while it's playing or shut off my phone while listening to a video, which I recall you had to pay premium for
Lyft and Uber are favored due to convenience and price. Nothing stops a regulated Uber that pays fair wages from convenience...but the price paid will have to become higher to support people.

This is like McDonald's paying workers $3 an hour, charging $2 for a value menu meal, and then people saying 'wow, McDonald's has made Burger King obsolete!'. Of course customers will prefer the cheaper service that screws workers and does not pay fairly, but (some) workers will work it because it's their only choice.
They are providing a platform for independent contractors. If the state makes it so that there are no users of the platform, they can't do business as their is nobody to use their platform. It seems pretty reasonable that when a state attacks your platforms users, you remove the platform from said state
Two statically compiled languages that get a lot of attention for writing tools in doesn't seem that odd choice to compare?

Aren't taxis inherently an on-demand business model? Uber/Lyft just made the whole model online.

Wouldn't it have been sensible to enforce and regulate minimum fare thresholds based on ride and distance which can be even applied on taxis?
I think the reason it's weird is that we might intuitively think of the "enforce a lower bound" function as taking two named arguments (lowerBound and inputValue) and the order of those two arguments mattering.

But of course, it turns out that the order of the arguments doesn't matter: applying a lowerBound of 5 to an inputValue of 100 turns out to be the exact same thing as applying a lowerBound of 100 to an inputValue of 5.

We know that the order of arguments doesn't matter for the Math.max function, so I think that's where the moment of incredulity comes from.

Well, not based on one person, but sometimes making uneconomic decisions based on human decency? That’s the society I’d rather live in.

You just made this up.

No, really: you just, flat out, made this up.

You have no way of knowing that demand for services in every single country with medical tourism outstrips supply of professionals. You just assumed it.

If it doesn't, which is just as likely (I think more, but I also don't know, and unlike you I won't pretend to know), then you're injecting money into the local economy, while getting medical/dental care at a lower price: win win.

The US has a uniquely onerous path of education and accreditation for medical professionals, with substantial supply-side limitation in the form of slots for medical school. Other places aren't so burdened.

Something to think about.
We already have a surefire low tech mosquito killer - mosquito bats or zappers. They work well, no chemicals just electricity and batteries.

We however don't have sharp eyes to track the movement of the stealth suckers. Nor the reflexes to position the bat at the right time while pressing the buzzer.

Blow up the size of the mosquito bat to foldable 6ft x 4ft mosquito killer and let probability do its work.

The humans in the room are all the attractant this mosquito killer from hell would need.
Love your guys work. Do you have any thoughts on making something work for really rough seas? I want to make an electric boat suitable for Hawaii.
> our opinions of what constitutes "better" are so drastically opposed.

I am not sure I follow. You mentioned somewhere else that Lubuntu was the one that gave you the least problems and that you are now using windows. Coincidentally, Lubuntu is the flavor that looks like the most with older versions of Windows.

To me it looks like your assumption is that anything that does not look like Windows 2000/XP is "worse". If you are starting from this point, don't be surprised if others disagree and ignore you.

(Myself, I've been using Xubuntu for the past 8+ years, but I am really not liking the direction Canonical is taking with snap. Perhaps I will switch to Debian + XFCE when I get a slow weekend but this has nothing to do with desktop issues. It's not perfect but the worst problem I can remember was related to get a blank screen after resuming from sleep, which I solved by changing the screen lock program)

> FAANGs are calling the shots

What the big companies are doing are related to the infrastructure side of things and have nothing to do with the desktop - perhaps except Google and their ChromeOS, but Google's ChromeOS approach is looking each day more and more like turn of the century MS and their "embrace, extend, extinguish".

Anyway, perhaps the issue is that you are conflating "Linux" with "Open Source Desktop" and expecting a central place to solve all solutions?
I don't know anyone who is paid to be on call at two different employers simultaneously.
They desperately don't want the perception that only approved opinions are allowed.
What about the wheelchair users? What do they prefer?

If it were both cheaper and best for the users (as I believe it would be) to pay for private rides, I would support that wholeheartedly. If one option were cheaper, and the other is preferred, it would seem that you'd have to engage in some type of cost-benefit analysis.

I don't see why able-bodied people should impose their view of 'social integration' on minorities at great cost, without additional justification.

Because it's the part that people should own after they bought it.

You can play Fortnite without buying anything on the Epic store.

You can't use an iPhone without being forced by Apple to use the device the way they want.

Many probably like it that way, that's not the point, the point is that if Safari is the root of many exploit for iOS (https://twitter.com/Zerodium/status/1260541578747064326) users cannot disable it and replace it with something else, something more secure

That completely hinder the free (as in freedom) utilization of the device

> If Epic sold a "Fortnite tablet" would this somehow change the legality of Epic's monopoly on selling digital items in Fortnite?

Of course it would!

It would be a monopoly nonetheless

Even though a table that can only play Fortnite cannot clearly be classified as general computing platform.

But it would probably be based on Android, being iOS not available for third parties, and allow sideloading.

The same point could be made about Amazon and the Kindle, but Amazon allows self publishing and direct sell for free.
As a kid, it used to weird me out to the point where I would forget what I was doing, get the chills, and enter a sort of trance. It never impacted me negatively, but pondering the scale of everything and how little of an impact we have on the grand scheme of the universe gave me a weird sensation.

> Why don't these people accept the existing full-time driving jobs then?

I expect that the number of full-time driving opportunities available would cover maybe a single-digit percentage of (pre-covid) Lyft/Uber drivers.
I find that first sentence shocking. Perhaps we're just different types of people, but I derive a great deal of happiness from making others happy, and, moreover, I think there is fundamental value in increasing the average happiness in the universe. Shame, for me, is chiefly a driver of inaction. I will never not feel it, so why concern myself with it at all? There is always a better choice, so I dedicate time that could be used to make the world a better place (albeit innefficiently) to trying to figure out which choice out of an infinity is best.

I agree that labelling people as good or bad is a mistake. In fact, my issue here is that you explicitly labelled everyone as a bad person. Is this not what you meant to say?

I don't believe I said your conclusion makes me unhappy, my intent was to say that your conclusion is immoral and, as a moral position, it is therefore wrong.
I tried this. Took role of Harry Potter. Mentioned Voldemort, Hagrid, his pet bird. It didn't take me into the story I was desperately hoping for.
I agree with your greater point, but it must be said that what they built wasn't a hospital--it was a warehouse that they put sick people into.
In Sweden if you're disabled, the government will pay for taxis for you. There's limits on how often et c and they don't come as fast as a normal taxi booking and you can only bring one other person with you, but it's a great option for when public transit doesn't cut it.
That's including dark matter, I think? With just the matter we can see, it's not even that.

Ruggedization is a vast understatement given the energies involved. On top of that, your payload needs to be able to circularize from a negative perigee, so it would need lots of onboard delta-v. You’d also either have an aimable cannon or deal with expensive plane change maneuvers.
This is not about minimum wage. It’s about gig work. There is quite a few people who like to do this part time. I think the real crux of the issue is health benefits. If you are not working full time you don’t get health insurance and that drives most laws like these which seem misdirected.

Yes. They need to not sell the next version too soon, but start selling soon enough to develop hype. They need to decide if they should invest in updating the previous solution one more time while waiting... They need to decide if the whole is worth the cost or should they develop a different project instead.
And the employer is free to "assign" you the very "shift" you yourself picked. Every time.

The dissonance here is amazing. Uber and Lyft literally started operating in cities and countries where rideshare was explicitly outlawed, hoping they would come around. But now that they had a year to prepare for this, all they found it in themselves to do is pick up their toys and go home? Don't fall for it.
Wait a sec - this efficient method doesn't involve abusing contractor status to not pay employees benefits, does it? If it does, I'd rather come up with another idea, thanks.
Most of those sites predate modern environmental law.
Amazon. They were on sale (November or December of last year).

I kind of wish I'd bought two.
Well it’s not even ridesharing as such. I think Uber and Lyft would have avoided legal issues, had they been actual ridesharing companies. Driving around picking up people and driving them to destination where you don’t need to go is called being a taxi.

I really wish we could stop calling Uber ridesharing, when the majority of their business is in fact not. It cause problems for actual ridesharing, which do enjoy some legal protection in some countries.
Isn't this more that they announced new cards coming later this year, and also started swapping over their production capacity for the 20 series over to the 30 series?
