As you can see "Labor" is by far the biggest sponsor to the politicans who pushed through this initiative.
At the very least, to play fair. They aren't even being honest when they say everyone gets the same deal on the App Store. We know this isn't true.
Sorry if this wasn't clear -- I'm saying that I wish that catastrophic plans were available to people over 30 as well.

My numbers are based on my own experiences shopping for healthcare in an ACA exchange in NY.
I think the point is to stay together and not fight all the time.
The Russell 3000 is also up YTD, but is also cap-weighted and therefore I suspect most returns are from the mega corps.

Many people (politicians?) like to point to the S&P 500 when talking about stock market growth.

What is a better index or metric that captures the overall health / growth of the economy?
You have to pay up for GPT-3, unless something has changed.
You say nonlocality isn't negotiable but I think one of Bell's assumptions isn't met in MW, namely single outcome of experiment. I think this is shown in that table as the local dynamics column.

But then without nonlocality nor hidden variables, I truly am at a loss how quantum computers even work according to MWI. But I know this area gets so complex so fast.
Then increase the pay until they do.
... a third option could be a deliberate release in a specific point. Viruses can't read.

This is just speculation, obviously
GPT-3 can perform a large family of cognitive tasks based on text. If enhanced, it could replace many tasks where programming or specialised tools were required. It shows that a language model can be turned into a toolbox.
Can you give it a huge book, Harry Potter series for example and then assume one of the characters, start an alternate storyline and let it build the rest? Can GPT-3 do that?
For a good percentage of the population it is about as deadly as the flu though, perhaps even less. For a smaller percentage of people it’s far more deadly than the flu.

I still think we could have gotten through this quicker if we didn’t lock down the young and healthy, while taking extra care to keep at risk populations safe.
There's managing people and deciding deciding strategy.
In Ireland, Uber has never been allowed. Taxis are pretty good. We use an app called "Free Now" (Previously "MyTaxi", previously "Hailo") where we can book a taxi and pay through the app. It's more expensive than Uber but it's regulated so always feels pretty safe.

We also have some strict laws like a taxi must produce a receipt if you request one etc
This boils down to theoretical vs applied. The OP approx. stated that we're basically 1/100 of the way there and this theoretical drive is currently impossible to implement.

I've changed my career path because of these problems. I was a Math Major and now EE. These are the problems we need to be focusing on. Instead of using outdated and faulty technology from the 1960s.

IMHO, humanity is an inflationary species (for lack of a better term). We want to grow, spread and thrive. We aren't using a horse and a buggy. We (mostly) aren't shipping big chunks of ice around the world. We've made massive innovations happen and we should continue. It's nice that VASIMR is trying to push the envelop. Hopefully more of us can join together and tackle these big problems together.
Crimea is also part of an ongoing proxy conflict between NATO and Russia, where NATO seeks to encircle the latter. The wars with Ukraine and Georgia were about maintaining buffer states (And to serve as a warning to the rest), rather than reassembling an empire.

Or at least, the facts can line up with this interpretation.
How would you market it?

Just curious :)
The campaign contributions of many other industry interest groups dwarfs those other interests, and that is evidently obvious when looking at the policies of the Democratic party, which would not even be a center left moderate party in most EU countries with actually strong labor interests.
What if you can't choose the price, you don't know the details of the work before accepting and get punished for not doing enough work?

That doesn't sound very independent to me.
Not being from the US the only thing I don't understand is why does CA expect taxi drivers to be employees?

Here in Slovakia even regular taxi drivers can be independent contractors and it's perfectly OK with the law, a lot of taxi drivers here even ride for multiple companies (regular taxi dispatchers, uber, bolt, their own prices for longer trips)
> I agree with you on one point, "ridesharing" is a silly word. I would call it something like an "Open Car Service".

Let's not beat around the bush, the appropriate term already exists, it's called a "taxi service". The fact that the taxi operators provide their own vehicles is not novel.
In my world view babies are more important than them.
How is enforcing worker protection government overreach? It’s what they’re supposed to do. And there’s lots of gig workers who aren’t happy with the setup. It’s not like the government took this up on their own accord.

As someone else mentioned Uber and Lyft impose restrictions on these workers that a typical contractor would not have. The litmus test isn’t simply whether you can set your number of hours.
> Gig work should NOT be how people make a living

I don't think I understand this. Why not? Seems like more options besides a traditional 9-5 is a good thing.
Well, if the mechanism is e.g. a blacklist of APIs that shouldn't be used, and a blacklist of known malware hashes (as is the case), then Apple's "is this malware" routine could trivially print "no" for itself.

Sorry to the grandparent, but this is nothing like the halting problem...
> They will drive to your location, pick you up, and take you anywhere you want to go.

The corrected version of this is "they will drive to your location some time within the next 24 hours, pick you up if you want to go to the places they want to go, and maybe accept payment in credit card".

Go on. Ask a brown person who lives by Lake Merced what it's like to try to get a taxi there from downtown.

Also, to be clear, I don't have a problem with this. I think you should have a right to transport whomsoever you desire if you can reach a consensual agreement.

But I don't think it's consensual if you ban the alternative.
I've worked in the space for over four years now and I'm currently building a startup in the space. Google Analytics is the gold standard. It's the tool everyone is familiar with and is often the thing someone does after setting up a new website is install GA.

The main startup alternatives are Mixpanel, Amplitude, and Heap. All three are unicorns or are close to being a unicorn. The main issue with GA is it's focused on analyzing pageviews. While you are able to get a lot of information from what pages people are viewing, very little of it is actionable. Mixpanel pioneered the idea of "event-based tracking" where you instrument the actions you care about and run reports over them. This let's you more complex reports like, of after a user sign up, after N months, how many of them are still signing in. Or, how does the conversion rate from users on the free trial differ based on location of the user.

The main enterprise alternative is Adobe Analytics, formerly known as Omniture. Pretty much every really large business that uses an analytics product uses Adobe. IIRC, the minimum price you will be quoted for Adobe is around $100k.

Besides using an end-to-end analytics solution, the other alternative is to use multiple services together. For this approach people will use a tool for data collection such as Segment or Freshpaint (disclaimer, I'm the founder of Freshpaint) to instrument their website. They will send the data from their data collection tool to a data warehouse such as Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift. Then they will use a tool such as Looker or Tableau to visualize the data in their data warehouse.
This is a stronger argument than that in the article. Still, you could make a strong argument for a variety of important industries/fields. Agriculture? Climate science?

Edit: I see everyone's latching onto agriculture as a literal suggestion rather than a rhetorical device, sorry for the confusion. I think it's valid to treat agriculture as seriously as cyberspace but honestly I don't know enough about the former to respond to the good scrutiny in this thread.
What a surprising decision made by otherwise wise and well respected CA politicians.
Taxis are horrible honestly. I'd rather just not go somewhere than use one instead of Uber/Lyft.
Direct democracy is bad. All one has to do is whip people into an emotional frenzy. Essentially you are arguing that the people should further circumscribe Individual rights like entering into a contract. Now people that made extra money, probably needed extra money, will be denied this option because the people will put the requirement of health benefits onto the contracting company.

> science doesn't have a "foundational" assumption

Yes, it does: it assumes that evidence is a reliable guide to truth.
It won't even have to wait till then. November is the Prop 22 ballot. If it fails, I imagine Lyft/Uber will just have to start switching.

By Sept. 4 each defendant must submit a sworn statement from its CEO “confirming that it has developed implementation plans under which, if this court affirms the preliminary injunction and Proposition 22 on the November 2020 ballot fails to pass, the company will be prepared to comply with the preliminary injunction within no more than 30 days after issuance of the remittitur in the appeal.”

If this existed I would expect it would do something similar to The Expanse where they "flip and burn" to slow down coming towards the target. On the plus side, your craft could have decent "gravity" for most of the whole trip.
> And yet their argument is they can't afford to spend $300M to cover driver benefits and pay into state unemployment insurance.

You compared global market cap/revenue losses to just the impact of CA. What happens when other markets follow in CA's footsteps?
> Again, having your wages and passport stolen is not "freely" working and completely incomparable to ridesharing.

See my edit - I clarified this.

> Ridesharing has always been about flexibility, not full-time employment, even though some people work full-time hours.

Have you ever driven for Uber? This is not correct. Why would drivers sue Uber/Lyft if that wasn't the case?

> Earnings vary wildy by person. Some people do great, others don't. There's no universal calculation.

And some earnings don't even give people enough money to live. Do you understand why most modern societies have minimum wage?
This one gets me too. It's so counterintuitive to me.

(Caveat: this is assuming people shuffle well, which of course most people don't, therefore in fact people probably have shuffled to the same state).
Lyft and Uber work great for what they are: gig jobs. The problem is people trying to turn them into something completely different. If these companies don't offer the terms you want, maybe seek employment elsewhere?
I was curious how slow this would be, and here is what JavaScriptCore made of this code:

function clamp(n, min, max) {
return [min, n, max].sort((a, b) => a - b)[1];
}

for (var i = 0; i < 10000000; i++) {
clamp(Math.random() | 0, Math.random() | 0, Math.random() | 0);
}

However, I was pretty disappointed when it seemed to be calling sort each time :( Perhaps I profiled it incorrectly? jsc's profiling data shows that it never hit FTL and nothing ever got inlined. The bytecode for DFG and Baseline is identical:

The OP says they can't be profitable and you're saying they're too profitable at the rider's expense.

Which is it?
>In theory no, that's impossible

It's impossible in the general "is this file malware?" case.

It's totally possible in the "is this file a copy of known malware?" case.
Freelancing is already a thing. This is a horrible analogy.
I'm disappointed that it still doesn't incorporate a tool for one common case, runtime type checking. Node.js REST servers receive a lot of JSON objects and it would be nice to automatically check that they actually follow type.

There are several aftermarket add-ons (io-ts, runtypes, class-validator) but they all seem to impose extra steps or rewriting code -- and different projects will use different ones. It seems like it should be something they can build into the language. I'd rather have one good standard than a dozen alternatives. (Can you guess I come from a Java background?)
Read my comment again. I said that if SA were to do what Russia did -- invade a peaceful neighbor with no provocation and steal a portion of their country -- then I'm confident that sanctions would be levied against them. Pretty simple proposition, really.
Uber and Lyft were made in San Francisco because the taxis here sucked so badly. Extremely unreliable. Always late. Not enough of them.

Taxis have not gotten better since then.
These use-cases are different. They mainly designed to workaround the issue where a differentiable loss cannot be designed.

Thinking it as a e2e system for autonomous driving. Your end-goal is miles-driven without accident. This metrics is impossible to work out a differentiable loss with.

Or more realistic case that actually drives Google / Facebook research in RL: increase in ads clicks or e2e purchase is hard to be integrated into a supervised learning system as the differentiable loss. The likelihood to click an ads (in a supervised learning system) is subtly different from having more ads clicks (in a reinforcement learning system).
>One asshole deflated, props to those pilots (pun intended) for standing up for their colleague.

so, someone was socially rude, so some pilots decided to risk the lives of everybody on board to teach a lesson.

Aerobatics , even if 'borderline-legal', are still more stressful on the plane and components.

Stress still causes early failure, even if the stress was produced with legal maneuvers.

Hopping curbs in a passenger car is not usually illegal, it'll just destroy the car prematurely.

Spontaneous aerobatics still risk injury from gravity-flung objects in the cabin.

So, i'm glad the person you dislike had a lesson taught. I'm less glad that the crew acted unprofessionally.

I'm very glad that no incidents occurred as a result. The sky isn't the place for revenge and vengeance, especially on passenger flights.

I really hope that the crew has matured since then. There are plenty of ways companies and professionals can refuse service without risking collateral damage like that.

Summary of the paper: They grew some neuronal rat cells, split the cell colony in two parts, shone a laser on one part and measured an effect on the second part, even if they were separated. The effect persisted when the first half was anesthetized. The proposed explanation is that the DNA of the first half is somehow entangled with the DNA of the second half.

Either the authors win a Nobel prize, or this paper is bs. My intuition leans towards the latter.

Taxis, even in San Francisco, were woefully inadequate prior to Uber. Further, it not as if taxis were driver friendly. The majority of the money went the the medallion holder. The medallion holders artificially constricted service to keep rates high via a monopoly. So, there was no pre-rideshare paradise to return to.
I'm not sure what you mean. The behavior of the max() and min() functions is perfectly well defined. The terms "maximum" and "minimum" are well defined. If I were using those terms I would likely consider the case where max < min to be an error, or have some other meaning, like an empty range.

If I wanted it to automatically flip the values to ensure a sensible range is defined, I would probably use "a" and "b" or "endpoint1" and "endpoint2" or something, because "max" has now become "max or min," which is not the same.
Not immoral, just uninformed in my opinion. Immoral would imply that they know they are doing something that is to some extent "wrong" and do it anyway. People donating are trying to do good, but just doing it in an ineffective way. If they know about an effective way to donate somewhere else but still assume that BLM is "doing good" then I would say it's still a long stretch to call it immoral.

you’re comparing a lot of unrelated numbers and mixing hem up.

per barclays the figure for uber is 500M a year not 300. 300 is the figure for lyft

market cap is the total value of the companies issued shares. they don’t have access to that money.

100m to fight a law that would cost them 500m/year seems like a good investment.

burning 2b last quarter is proof they can’t afford any additional costs as they already aren’t profitable.

adding 500m a year would be increasing their quarterly spend by > 10% just to service a single state
If you live too out of the way, the taxi you called might never come.
1. If you think the public transit in California sucks, at least it exists.

2. There are many jobs available that don't allow the lifestyle freedoms of gig work (see the trucking industry, which as it turns out also has a long reputation for unfairly treating employees).

In my opinion, the US continues to punish employers, employees, and contractors by tying employment to healthcare. It's much easier to say: "Look at that company screwing their workers out of benefits!", than it is to say: "Look at our country screwing our citizens out of benefits!".
> Oohh nice. So kinda like a pipe.

I never thought of it that way, but it is true that it can be used as a pipe.

Fundamentally it's just the dual of (): Haskell lets you use operators as infix functions by wrapping them in () so

(+) 1 2

is the same as

1 + 2

and conversely lets you use prefix (binary) functions as operators by wrapping them in backticks.

You can even combine those through sections, which serve to partially apply infix operators: https://wiki.haskell.org/Section_of_an_infix_operator
As a way out of this Apple should create an alternative for people to run alternative app stores, but disable iOS updates and Apple services on those products and offer them at a cost. People discount the fact that apple provides free software updates (that would cost $100s + in the past) for Free. If a user wants out of the apple ecosystem, Apple should enable that and demand a fair price for the services otherwise sustained by the way mobile economics are currently structured.

Not saying Lyft is without fault, but this argument excludes all possibility of provocation, which is reductionist.
If we held satellite operators liable for damages from collisions, they may be incentivized to acquire insurance against collision events. And underwriters would incentivize satellite operators to reduce that risk by giving lower premiums to operators that use collision avoidance systems like drag sails and/or propulsion.
I mean - if no one else comes up with a business now that works well and people enjoy doesn't that prove Uber and Lyft are right in that the platform is valuable and unique?

If California lawmakers are using this as negotiating tactic that's cool with me - but I'm not sure why we wouldn't expect Uber or Lyft to negotiate as well.
