How about for every new sat we launch, a few micro sats (with extra fuel) go up with it, and each of these stays in a parking orbit ready to be commanded to attach to and knock down large debris or other decommissioned sats in range? If we did this for awhile, coverage could extend to most common orbits.

Edit: removed a redundant statement.
Very smart solution. Looks like it could be the ideal candidate for some solar panels too

To prevent brute force attack, you should choose long enough password and adjust iterations parameter on Key transformation. Basically more iterations = more time to brute force, but your application will spend more time opening the database. Longer password = less likely for brute force to succeed.

For me 12 characters password with default 60 000 iterations seems safe enough. My estimation is that it would take at least millions of dollars to break it and my passwords are not worthy of that. You can easily make it into unbreakable for a foreseeable future by using something like 16-characters random password and 10 millions of iterations.

Key file of enough length is like an unbreakable password. But you probably can't remember it, so be careful not to lose it. My database is accessible on public URL which I remember and I remember my password, so I can always download it anywhere and open it. I think that it's a big advantage and I wouldn't want to lose it.
Yeah. I remember having the same issue, especially at places where they only pay people monthly l, in arrears, so sometimes it can take more than eight weeks after starting work to get a first paycheck.

The OP says ridesharing can't be profitable, parent says taxis are too expensive. These are statements are not inconsistent with one another.
i don’t think you can look at Tesla surpassing Walmart in market cap today and rationalize it as normal forward looking behavior when there’s been zero news over the last 10 days outside of a stock split, which in theory should have zero impact on the market cap

my point is we aren’t living in a world where a stock is simply the present value of future cash flows and no one should rationalize the market as such
Uber and Lyft shutting down is posturing. I find it quite hard to believe taxi services will become impossible and not simply a bit more expensive.

The US economy is fucked right now, we've been madly spinning the plate to try to keep it going, but it's starting to wobble badly. Unless something major is done soon it's only a question of when not if things start to implode.

If I have an ebook store and want to give iOS users a nice experience when buying books Apple will make the books more expensive with 30% and on top of that if I want to give my users information that they have the option to buy cheaper from my website I can't , Apple is preventing their users to get informed/educated on how to get cheaper stuff because this information costs Apple money.

Btw you can have apps that do not use any of Apple SDKs (for example engines will use the OS core and neither of the fancy GUI toolkits and languages)

Taxis are subject to the medallion system where municipalities deliberately limit the number of taxis that can operate. This certainly increases prices for consumers. If Uber and Lyft aren't profitable the they run the possibility of going out of business.

The former is a definite harm to consumers. The latter is a possibility of loss for investors.

I remember when there was a crackdown on software independent contractors. What most contractors did was go through an agency that managed your services. The difference in pay was usually 20% since the agency took 20% of your pay.

I suspect this will happen ultimately with the drivers - although I can't imagine the drivers will be thrilled with a 20% cut in pay.
Noone's life was at risk. It was just mildly more exciting than a normal flight and well within the range of permitted stresses on that particular plane.

GGP made an assumption and then reacted to that assumption as though it was a fact. We weren't doing loopings or Immelmans, just a couple of nice steep banks and a pretty steep ascent/descent. If the plane would have not been able to handle that it shouldn't have been flying in the first place. I've been through lots worse in single engine GA planes in rural Canada.
I'm not sure why people think this was some great legal trap pulled off here. Everyone already knows that Apple's commission is 30%. Simply charging less in the app doesn't actually show that Apple's commission is harming consumer welfare (or conversely with Spotify, charging more in iOS). Epic would have to show that Apple's alleged monopoly power is raising prices at a supracompetitive level in a relevant market.
There is no evidence that the business model doesn't work, otherwise traditional cab companies would've never survived. Rideshare companies undercut traditional cabs by operating illegally, but that doesn't mean a regulated model can't work.

Setting aside the specifics of particular agile methodologies like scrum, etc I think the core insight of the Agile manifesto is that building software products is fundamentally different than building things like rockets. When you are building a rocket you more or less know exactly what you want to build from the beginning so doing a detailed up-front design is definitely the right way to go. When building a software product (or really most software products, there are of course pieces of software that are well specified in advance) you don't know what the end state is or even if there is an end state. The information flow is bi-directional in the sense that observing how the software is used in the wild feeds back into how the software should be designed.

Maybe another way to look at this is, if apple / google decides not to have an app store at all, would anyone find that wrong?

iphones will only have apps produced by apple. If any other company, say a game producer wants their game on the phone then you have to license the game to apple for 30% royalties. Apple then makes the game available on the phone. Is this still an issue legally or in terms of fairness?
Don't burn me at the stake... but what if we could solve user liability with DRM? Hear me out:

What if all video was encrypted with DRM by default, and viewers/peers only shared DRM-encrypted data? This would still enable the biggest benefit of PeerTube: viewer/peer bandwidth sharing. But now we've (arguably) reduced the scope of 'publishing' -- for the purpose of legal liability -- to only those PeerTube instances that provide the DRM key. That is, just sharing the encrypted video data no longer carries the legal significance of 'publishing' it, because the data is useless without the key. Wield the media companies' own DRM as a legal shield to limit user liability.

Now to be clear, I'm not an attorney, so I'm not making any kind of legal claim, or saying that this is an argument that a court would find convincing. But I think there's a chance this could work out because I'm pretty sure this strategy where the DRM key is more protected than the video data is utilized in the video distribution industry today, and considered to be an ok solution.

If DRM is used, the encryption key itself becomes the unit of publishing. How keys are distributed between instances is not limited at all, maybe by default the key is shared with all the other instances in its federation. Also, now instances have an instant way to "unpublish" a video in case of DMCA: just stop sharing the key. And since no users share the key with each other, even if they are unaware of their instance taking down a video that they watched and are still sharing it, downloading peers still won't be able to view it.

This idea isn't perfect of course. All viewers would still need to connect to a central/federated instance to get the key, but compared to sharing the actual video data this is much more reasonable to scale. Also, getting access to DRM itself is still pretty centralized today, so it might take significant effort to implement.

The Bible even combines the two:

God exists outside time and space (is infinite) and created the universe by calling a potential into form.

Which of course still has the issue of infinity: where did God come from? And even: what does it mean to not be limited by time and space.
I meant "best" in the sense of achieving some sort of maximum total utility, mean utility, median utility, etc.

Everything the masses do pushes us towards the bottom because life is cheaper there. Tangentially, there are lots of companies that treat their employees well (though not ride-sharing companies): Costco, Patagonia, Les Schwab Tire Center, Toyota, REI... but people like cheap stuff and execs like fat bonuses: stuff becomes cheap and bonuses expand when employees (or contractors) are ridden roughshod and compensated poorly.

I didn't realize that Prop 22 added some additional protections for drivers, thank you for bringing those up! I thought it was just send drivers straight back to the basic independent contractor rules.

I don't love that Uber/Lyft basically drafted Prop 22. There are features like only paying Engaged Time and not pinning the extra per-mile rate to the IRS standard (which is $0.57 per mile in 2020) which you can tell benefit them. That being said, my argument about removing wage protections is certainly dampened by the new earnings floors.
That's incorrect. Access to the latrines was free, the money was in order to be allowed to empty the latrines, with urine having fairly high concentrations of certain minerals and lots of applications (for instance: curing leather).

> ultimately just comes down to paternalistic protection of the poor disenfranchised gig workers that you clearly view as being less than capable, rational adult humans

That is one way to editorialize what is going on. An alternative explanation is that human organization is inherently a high friction, high cost endevor, and in the case of a company vs workers/contractors, we have a massive assymetry in the degree of organization in incentives; a company is a well defined entity, gathered around the normativity of profit maximization, every stop and turn of its machinery is well oiled and properly encoded, acting as a single agent in every negotiation. Whereas workers/contractors, even though have their individual interests heavily aligned (don’t be stiffed, get a fair wage), this alignment is not by default organized, as the employer-employee relationship is a one-to-many relationship. This asymmetry, not paternalizing non-adult humans, is what drives the unfairness in negotiations in favor of companies.

Unions, legislation etc merely represents an effort in organization of the will of the “many” and to cure this asymmetry. Not saying they are perfect, not even that they work, but there is an asymmetry that gets exploited.

> Gig economy workers have overwhelmingly spoken that they like this work, by continuing to sign up for it in massive numbers

The problem in this model of negotiation is that the gig workers choices of expression are limited to “work or gtfo”. For one, given the fact that people need money to live, their participation doesn’t necessarily mean “they like this work”. Going back to the organization principle, if they were to carry out the combinatorially explosive task of communicating among themselves that they would want $5/hr more payment, or they would not work at all (quite symmetrical to the maneuver lyft&uber pulled today) it is very likely that they would get it. But “work or gtfo” binary doesn’t allow any room for expressing that. In other words, current price point is an artifact of lessened negotiation power of the collective gig workers because it is not as easy for them to negotiate collectively as uber/lyft can set the pricing.

> Getting rid of Uber and Lyft completely throws out the baby with the bathwater here.

No one is suggesting this. Not saying that the legistlation that was proposed is perfect, but the argument is “let’s level the playing field” and if Uber and Lyft can exist under fair conditions, then they do deserve to exist.

There is nothing far-left or vindictive about this. It is catching up with the innovation of exponentially scaling, tech based, loss-leader market captures. It is as far-left as reducing work days to 5 or outlawing child labor was.
The market has previously decided unsafe factories and child labor is ideal. Often market forces are great but empirically they do not solve every case and as a society we must evaluate each case accordingly.
You need 4 engines. After you land, you run 2 engines forward and 2 in reverse.
The talking points I heard was that this was done because of

1) Payroll tax revenue
2) Unions feeling threatened

The implication is in either case it’s an explicitly hostile action by the government in favor of special interests, and the majority of drivers did not want this.

Can anyone more knowledgeable on the topic pitch in — is there any truth to these arguments?

>There is a strong likely hood that the reason she was told to stop finding problems is because the de minimus limit (the dollar figure at which we don't care) is truly, and I mean TRULY massive for the kind of companies that are audited by EY, PWC, KPMG, and Deloitte. I refuse to believe for one second that a serious issue was swept under the rug by a senior or manager.

That's a big claim for you to make given that you don't know the company, the size of their clients, or even whether or not anyone went to jail over the proceeding decades.
Amazon pays more in payroll taxes, SUI, and Social Security alone than the entire revenue of the vast majority of any company you could select in the world.
Who said they needed the extra gig to make ends meet? Some people might just enjoy it, or want to earn a little extra during their free time, or have a seat open on their commute.

To view temp/gig work with a full-time lens is disingenuous, imo.

I don't think they ever planned to 'make it'.
They certainly don't let you work for both at the exact same moment in time (which is quite common with drivers who have both Uber and Lyft open at same moment). Also Burger King generally sets your schedule and McDonalds usually sets your schedule. It's usually not feasible to work for both, because they both might end up scheduling you in the same time slot.
none of those things required technology. pre-industrial society would not have collapsed if laborers had weekends and a minimum wage

Well i go back to my argument of isnt that like saying: "i like to use your ebook platform to sell my stuff, but i dont want to pay for it"

the fact that you switched from software to ebook does not change the fact that you want to choose to be able to sell without giving a commission to apple for the store they did set up
As I understand it, the logic is the bank is expecting to make a good deal of money over the life of the loan in interest. Prepaying reduces that profit, so they penalize you to discourage that behavior. Note that not all mortgages have that penalty (mine doesn't).
Then it should be no problem for Uber to up their fares so they can hire drivers as employees
Incidentally, gcc and clang both compile this to two cmovs for me.
They want to stay independent, fine. Then actually treat them like independent contractors. Let them set rates. Let them decline rides without facing penalties by the platform. Make the changes necessary to fit the independent contractor model. And not just the rideshare company, but the state too: these workers need unemployment insurance, as Covid has shown, and somebody needs to pay for it: be it the workers or the ridesharing businesses.
Drivers are allowed to be independent contractors in California. But the law requires that the drivers be truly independent in ways that Uber and Lyft do not allow.
I wouldn't mind at all if tipping culture disappeared, but I think it's naive to think that costs wouldn't go up dramatically for customers. Customers are footing the bill one way or another, it's just a matter of whether we're willing to pay enough to ensure everyone gets a livable wage.
Agriculture is important, and software is driving most of the innovation. Whether its better software to design the machines that harvest crops, more efficient futures markets for selling grain in advance of harvest, better watering scheduling, self-driving harvesters, a basis of information for farmers to learn about advances in farm tech, computers that enable genetics research for better genetically modified crops.

Put another way, it isn't like the head of cabbage I ate six months ago has me writing better code then or today. But the script I wrote to make my development loop faster still does.

The system is chaotic and interdependent, but the flows of causation are still broadly understandable. It even makes sense on a philosophical level. Humans were once the only agents in the economy with decision making power. Now a human writes some code and the code operates long after the human that wrote it has gone. Output is no longer tied to attention.

Furthermore, we happen to live in an existence where information transfer is extremely, extremely, cheap from a resource standpoint. So the software doesn't just scale attention on the one computer it was written on, it scales for everyone! An upgrade to Microsoft Excel helps millions of people all at once! We can even use software to make better computers and software! It's naturally self-building, and the main reason why I think it will continue to lead biotech until biotech merges with software.
