Depends where you are. In much of the Valley you will not see a cab anywhere, but you might be able to call one.

In SF proper, there are more cabs, but don't forget the hour-long waits we had before the ride-sharing thing started. I don't know if it'll get that bad again, but I don't think they authorized thousands of new cabs like (IMO) they should have. Also, I've had cabbies in SF tell me point-blank they won't take my fare because it's not far enough. Yeah, illegal, they don't care.

Further out... good luck. You're in Concord and need a ride to Walnut Creek? Might work, but it might be faster to try Craigslist.
The "liberal states bad" trope has popped up on conservative media in the last year or so, so you'll see a lot more of it on places like HN.
Who said the competitor has to defy the order? Lyft is choosing not to abide by it. Whether Apple would permit it or not, who knows, they tend to apply policy unevenly. On Android, apps can be side-loaded so no need to get App Store approval.

> ModernButton, DarkButton, RetroButton. But there is a lot of room for errors and the interfaces can diverge.

Our solution for this was to have an internal Button in the library that defines the interface and handles the functionality, then ModernButton/DarkButton/etc simply use Button in particular ways, blindly passing along everything else they were given.

You could read the new law, or a summary. It's not super hard to understand.
Calls for violence have been against Reddit's policy forever, and is also often illegal. It has nothing to do with minority status.
I think you’re overgeneralizing here.

I’m aware some parts of C++ standard library are outright horrible, like iostream and I/O in general. Other parts are questionable, like date & time, locales, and futures.

Meanwhile, other parts of the same standard library are actually OK (most collections, threading, synchronization, atomics, smart pointers, initializer lists). And other parts are awesome, like most of the stuff from <algorithm> header.

Apparently, one of the C++ design goals was to not pay for features which aren’t used. Selectively ignoring stuff from the standard library doesn’t have much downsides.
> Reddit itself has no means of monetization.

This is a classic confusion about the nature of currency and networks. Direct monetization is one kind of success but not the only one.

For one thing, a hate prophet doesn't need money to be successful. A hate prophet needs _listeners_ to be successful. Reducing access to accidental listeners who then get sucked into a brainwashing machine is reducing access to success.

And then there's the fact that Reddit is a funnel, not just a destination. People go there just to go there, and then they accidentally stumble into hate cults. Some of those people get sucked into rabbit holes and find themselves in poisoned wonderlands. "follow me for more", "like and subscribe", "click here to find out", "read my blog", "watch my channel", "so and so says". Reddit isn't where the shit ends, but it is where the shit starts for many people.

> While you could certainly argue that Reddit leads to platforms that do monetize, that is a slippery slope.

FYI, the slippery slope argument is considered to be a logical fallacy so you probably shouldn't use it.

Looking at a strain of thought that seeks to attribute the current differences in outcomes and 'accomplishments' between Africans and Europeans to the inherent qualities of their populations, thereby discarding the possibility that such outcomes could have been different not so long ago, and seeing this strain of thought dominate HN and HN-adjacent communities (in the form of "we should dig into at'uncomfortable questions' and so forth"), I'd say that yes, Kush has largely been forgotten by the general population, even that part of which who likes to call itself 'educated'.
I mean, what you're describing without realizing it is just a cab company except you pay everyone a 30+ hours a week for doing nothing on top of what you pay them for actually working...

This is why cab companies don't already let drivers pick their own hours (assuming they don't use the uber-lite approach of people just hiring the cab\medallion).
Current estimate is that there is no border. It goes on forever.

Space is infinite and increasing.

Matter is fixed and static.

So a bigger infinity divided by a smaller infinity.

Which means density is heading towards 0. This is heat death of universe.

Now since dividing infinity by infinity is nonsense, this a sign our understanding is incomplete

The Flight Unlimited series in the '90s had a great crash system where you could watch your plane get ripped apart and the pieces bounce along the terrain until you restarted. It wasn't entirely realistic, but it was pretty impressive for a game from 1997.

I was really disappointed when I tried other flight sims and found out they just stopped instead of doing the same thing.

>If a subset of users are hurting their business model, driving multiples of other users away from the site, or creating legal liability far in excess of the value the problematic subset generates,

is that's what's happening though? Are advertisers leaving reddit? AFAIK advertisers can already decide what subreddits their ads appear on. Are people leaving reddit to a "nicer" platform? What type of legal liabilities is reddit being subject to?
Where is this coming from that only a small amount of protection is provided to wearer. For a while I kept on posting studies showing the effectiveness of masks in protection infection by wearer, but it's hopeless - somehow public health authorities have gotten everything so muddled in folks minds.
Uber/Lyft are both profitable in many markets. The system is perfectly sustainable.

It's the service, not the price, that made the biggest difference for users. And this service requires having thousands of drivers able to start at a moment's notice, which is not viable under an employee-shift driven model.
How does hubble compare to Great Expectations or DBT for pipeline testing? It looks like more emphasis on automated profiling than "having to write and maintain lots of individual tests" and obviously hubble being a saas offering is the big difference?

Also any plans to profile and test file-based stores as well? There's a lot that can go wrong in a pipeline before data even reaches BigQuery or Snowflake, and you may help your customers save money if you could profile data in S3 before it goes through a potentially expensive transform process.

Best of luck, though! Data testing is a very real need in most data organizations I've been in, and I'm glad more and more tools seem to be popping up recently to help with it.
Maybe one day the sky will fall on all our heads. But to your point, sure if an Android phone does the job better for me then I'd buy one. Right now they don't and one of the reasons is the different development and distribution model.
The state made their business model illegal. Yes, technically that’s not the same thing as shutting them down, since they could have switched to a different business model, but it’s a distinction without a difference.
Employers are not required to provide health plans. The issue is that Uber provides _some_ employees with health plans while keeping their lower-paid workers classified as contractors, even if they work essentially full-time.
They cannot be classified as employees to begin with. AB5 also harmed non-Uber/Lyft drivers, I came across several posts for programming gigs that said that they would not be able to accept offers from programmers in CA due to AB5. It's broken.
Well said - while this point is somewhat subtle, I think the real reason most people "miss" it is because of a human tendency to overlook pragmatism in the context of language/communication while engaging in even non-heated ideological battles. I.e. they tend to turn a blind eye to colloquial meaning and real consequences in favor of a bias toward literalism as a bad rhetorical tactic.
In the US we pay hundreds of dollars in monthly medical premiums, thousands in deductibles per year, and still need to live in fear of surprise bankruptcy-level bills arriving if god forbid you collapse and need an emergency procedure at the closest out-of-network facility.

Absolute insanity. Yet changing this at a fundamental level is somehow considered radical, nothing we can do etc., except what every other western country has already done. We keep telling ourselves we have the best medical care in the world, which anyone who has lived outside the US for some time can attest is complete bullshit.
This was the same pain point we had when we saw how good the tools were for testing our software vs our data.

> People who have no idea or experience of others but want to

That's the basis of society, people who have a better overall views of things decide for you all the time, and it should be like that.

What's the opposite ? Private for profit companies deciding what's better for "you" ? That's what Uber and Amazon are trying to do and that's why they lose dozens of court cases about workers rights all over the world.

I don't even get your point, "it's not as bad as X", ok but what's the goal ? Raise the bar so that everyone has access to safe, sustainable jobs or lower the bar to the lowest acceptable working conditions ?

I'm reminded of the recent post on HN showing that long, personalized emails reduced email conversions, and that short, pinpointed emails increased conversion. Long emails give the impression that one is either a program or desperate, and no one takes the time to read the entirety of every email they receive.
Laborers in India/Pakistan were not forced to fly to UAE to take the job, but they did anyway.

> Have you ever driven for Uber? I find it odd that so many people claim to know better for others without any experience of the situation.

I have not, but calculating the economics is pretty damn simple, and their earnings are shit (most drivers dont take into account taxes, car costs, gas, car depreciation, etc.).

I think the problem is that you have to bifurcate those who want a full-time-like salary with those who drive to earn a few bucks, otherwise the discussion breaks down.
I don't see how the TESLA model could work with human employee drivers. Uber is already not making a profit with their current lower cost structure. TESLA with more expensive cars and more expensive employee costs, will almost certainly also lose money unless they substantially increase prices. And at the higher price level, demand is likely to be lower as well.

I've never written an email that was too long and then later realized it should have been way more concise. I generally know my intentions prior to writing the email, so if it needs to be short, I'll write it short. The reverse situation probably happens more often though (i.e I write a short email, realize it doesn't make sense due to lack of details, then I elaborate).

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.

Keep in mind that purchase price is a smaller fraction of the total cost of ownership for a boat than for other kinds of vehicles. Marina, maintenance, etc. are much higher recurring expenses compared to, say, having a weekend sports car that just sits in the garage most of the time.

Just because you can buy a boat, that doesn't mean you can afford a boat.
Maybe an alternative model would be too charge the drivers a subscription fee. Could be a typical SAAS model where first 10 rides/month are free and the ability to work unlimited hours costs ~$1k. I don't think you could do this for free as the support costs are likely really high and support is super important when people are putting their lives in the drivers' hands.
Uber was founded because there are frequently 60 minute waits for taxis in SFBA, if they show up at all.
That doesn't follow. There being no objective definition for a metric does not imply that all subjective definitions are useless metrics.
Honest question - Is it the video conferencing technology or the lack of famaliarity with the medium? I've been video coneferencing and working with developers remotely since my early 20s and never felt tired as a result of it. I could see someone who's not used to doing all day finding it a jarring experience. But wouldn't that just discipate in time as the individual adapts? Anyone else feel the same way?
I think cases like this are almost completely overlooked. I'm also concerned/saddened by young children who's parents just moved to a new town (moving is not uncommon when many can't afford mortgage/rent due to covid lay offs).

We're going to see pretty significant long term effects to both the economy and children / young people due to a lack of social development.

I couldn't even imagine how shitty being a 20 something in a new city would be now. Dating has to be practically non-existent.

Should say that I'm for and obey covid restrictions in my country (Canada), but I'm amoung the privileged few already working from home, and have a family and kids that keep me busy.

This. I strongly recommend a book called “Nothing is true and everything is possible”. It describes how State media operates in Russia (and you could make a point many other countries have learned a thing or two from the book).

Basically there needs to be an opposition, in order to be a triumphant democracy. But you need to keep it weak and under control. Seeing an opposition gives hope to people. Then they loose elections, and hope deflates. Do this a few times over and you have the country under your control for the long run...
I'm always perplexed when people bring this issue up but never discuss the contribution to congestion by people driving their own cars.

Yes, you can say that increased congestion from single occupancy vehicles leads to a tragedy of the commons for those on buses. This can be addressed by making bus only lanes (and they should be bus only lanes, not bus and taxi lanes)

For the rest of the congestion, there's not much difference between rideshare vehicles and private vehicles. Rideshare vehicles might be empty while looking for passengers (net positive contribution to congestion), but also provide pooling (net negative contribution). Private vehicles also circle blocks looking for parking spaces (net positive contribution).

> For San Francisco traffic congestion increased by 60% between 2010-2016[1]

It's hard to pin this solely on ridesharing though. There have been no lack of road construction projects in the last decade. More recently, the Van Ness work has been an absolute clusterfuck for San Francisco traffic.
That's a good point. I think immigration is great for the country. And I never mind it my neighbors come from the mid-west or from Central America or wherever. I just get sick of people bashing California. It outgrows the rest of the country at an amazing rate, spawns world beating companies, and then people say it is socialist.
I have brought this up in some form or the other. The response I usually get is something like "hey man, I understand this is stressful for you but their business depends on this" or "this is really important" or some empty promise that things will be easier after this feature is done. I have a feeling (might be wrong) that they want to keep this client because it pays a lot to our company (which is a little absurd to me but assuming a lot for our company isn't too much for them)
I really agree with this. An American Indian friend of mine once said, "It's not like we want another Trail of Tears." Folks who have been beat down know people don't deserve that just for being a certain way.

Now if you're advocating a worldview that carries implicit, targeted violence (looking at you, Neo-Nazis) I think it's a different story. At that point, it becomes a question of what is possible and practical to reduce the overall amount of violence.. even if it means punching someone who wants you dead or subjugated.
Eh. That's not what I understand by gestures. Mouse gestures - they're also a thing - generally use a sequence of orthogonal mouse movements for a single command. Most Mac gestures are discrete, not continuous. Pinch to zoom is in the minority, and is more like a multitouch input than a gesture per se. Phone gestures too are generally discrete; the exceptions are zooming and rotating, and rotating is sufficiently fiddly it isn't seen much outside map apps.

This thread is a prime example of how one can troll or shitpost on HN, no problem, so long as the trolling and shitposting is sufficiently HN-flavored. By which I don't mean to imply that the moderation or community are systemically or broadly broken, certainly no more so than most communities online, but simply that there are definite gaps in the armor and when they're found you see a kind of mis-targeted immune response amplifying the damage (in fact, that effect is the main way damage is done by such posts on HN)

Because the previous medallion system was so much better.

Either the driver rented the car to a middleman who rented the medallion from a rich owner, or said owner was selling and financing (most banks won't touch these medallions!) a medallion at a ridiculous interest rate to a driver that plans to use it as his retirement savings.

Pre-Uber, the more I spoke to cab drivers the more it seemed their industry was a pyramid schemed aimed at helping established rent-seeker take advantage of often poor new immigrants. Uber brought a breeze of fresh air: Someone could simply buy a car, calculate the depreciation and it's value on the market (since unlike medallions cars are relatively liquid assets!) do rideshare and calculate their profits or loss. They can get out of the game at anytime.
