If driving is what someone has decided to solely do for a living, then they should get a driving job. There's plenty of driving jobs that aren't driving gigs. In my mind, the definition of "gig" sets the expectation for the type of work it will be.
Wow, basically "who Framed Roger Rabbit" was based on a true story.
It happened without fail in San Francisco.
- "Sex differences like career preferences taught by society and have no biological basis"

- "There's no scientific basis for race"

These positions are so entrenched that disagreeing with them publicly is to risk your career. But they're also the product of ignorance. In the world of biology, the opposite positions of these are fairly uncontroversial views. (see [1] for an example of the first)

Using a throw-away account for obvious reasons.

Tech Can Be Used to Address Loneliness in Young People
I remember what it was like to get a taxi in California, even in San Francisco, before Uber and Lyft.

You called some taxi company, might get put on hold, told them where to pick you up, and they would show up anywhere between 30 and 60 minutes later. Sometimes they would never show up. Many smaller cities in California had no taxi service of any kind. And good luck getting a taxi home from a bar after midnight!

Uber and Lyft made it realistic for people to expect that they could actually get a taxi in California in a reasonable amount of time, pretty much any time of day or night. That's why people used them so much. This is not something the older taxi companies or "some random taxi app" will be able to pull off.
Quite cool! The explanation is a bit vague, did your prompts to it include the description of the ideas in the next paragraph (eg superintelligence coming about, creating sadness, etc.) or was some of it invented by GPT-3?

If day price is twice higher, then that's a totally different price! I am pointing it out because UK price of electricity is higher.

You are right to point out that Canada has untapped hydroelectric resource, it's by far the cheapest electricity.

However it can't supply entire energy need of most nations (some have none), and it is usually tapped wherever possible - people are usually not just sitting around ignoring it.

That is the exact opposite of the truth - conventional agriculture is conventional because it scales so well that rural unemployment is a massive problem and that picking up the end product is in many cases the biggest economic problem.

There are problems but to deny the merits is delusional and dooms failure any insane strategy where a small shepard and veteran slinger believes himself the strongest and tries to wrestle Goliath instead of just slinging a rock at his head.
You forgot to add the /s, but I guess it's obvious enough. This will definitely not turn out well for individuals living in California.

Herodotus narrates the Athenians promising that they would never betray the Spartans because they are the same race ("homaimos" → "same blood").

I don't know off the top of my head whether the Romans widely knew of the Histories, but it certainly undercuts your claim that these broader categorizations are a recent invention. The Athenians and Spartans clearly recognized a racial idea broader than the cultures of their individual polities.
What citizens want is fickle and entirely depends on framing and knowledge.

Citizens want goods for cheaper, obviously. But citizens also like the concept of people and companies doing "their fair share". For example a fair amount of people were outraged when it was revealed that official Walmart policy was to direct underpaid employees into Medicaid, EBT, etc. rather than just paying them to afford basic life expenses. And the gig economy if anything manages to be even more exploitative than that.

> Then throw in that Uber and Lyft were truly effective alternatives to unionized mass transit lines operated in many cities

No they weren't. It's called "mass transit" for a reason - replacing trains and buses with masses of individuals riding in separate cars is not an effective alternative. While Uber and Lyft are more convenient for certain trips, mass transit still has a place due to capacity constraints.

Good point. Health insurance is a form of golden handcuffs. The pain of switching health insurance providers has definitely deterred me from changing jobs before. Microsofts insurance in the early 2000's was so good, I stayed there long enough to become grossly underpaid. When I finally did leave, my salary increased by 50%!

There is really isn't much incentive for companies to stop offering health insurance as a benefit.

Honestly, as an ex sort of still designer who still engages with that sort of community, i see a tool like this that makes neat scripty vector paths (and I think that is particularly important) as being super-useful. It outputs unique forms that are individual in nature. I'm thinking all the graphic designers who makes stuff for weddings and invites and whatnot.

I wholeheartedly disagree.

You can shame someone into giving $10 in front of you. Good luck shaming someone to part with >10% of their income through such a negative feeling.

EA has a forum which welcomes (contrarian) opinions. Perhaps you should write up your reasons for thinking that shame is a good motivator with some research backing it up. EAs are very open minded. I'm also willing to change my mind.

>I know the concensus on HN is that Apple is a monopoly, but ALL my friends expect for one have androids.

The monopoly that Epic is complaining about is not a monopoly on smartphones or smartphone operating systems. It's a monopoly on selling iOS apps and processing payments for iOS apps and content.

You cannot allow a global duopoly of companies that managed to become the infrastructure for a large part of our economy to take a cut of all or most business that is done on top of that infrastructure.

Imagine we had allowed that to happen with telephone networks or roads. Whoever came first would have been able to suck the air out of the rest of the economy.

Shortness shouldn't be the goal. Clarity should be the goal. The problem is that clarity is a much harder thing to test for.

I would pay money for a tool that checks my technical writing for reading level and warns me when passages go above Nth grade. Most people in the US graduate high school with an 8th grade reading level, and some people may not be able to read above a 5th grade level. That means tiny words and short sentences are king.

There are also metrics for clarity and simplicity that proxy on number of syllables. Those are really useful and don't require a complex ML model.
> The axiom is that the Bible is true. The conclusion is that evolution is false. The arguments are about how to reconcile the "fact" that evolution is false with the existence of data that appear at first glance to support its truth.

But there is no intellectually honest way to reconcile that factual claim except to reiterate that it is an axiom (or, if you like, a trivial corollary from the axiom that the Bible is true). The supposed existence of missing links is completely irrelevant, because even if those links weren't missing, his conclusion would be that evolution is false. Ancient flood myths are completely irrelevant, because even if such myths weren't widespread, his conclusion would be that evolution is false.

To clarify, I'm not claiming that creationists conceal their beliefs about the Bible. I'm referring to intellectual dishonesty.

He's saying that, if you have explicitly defined a max and min such that max < min, it is not graceful for the computer to produce a result as though those values were swapped. In other words, garbage in should produce garbage out.

The array implementation sidesteps this by not semantically defining a max and min, instead sorting three arbitrary numbers.

Fellow docs person here. Really like the new design—both in terms of information architecture and actually browsing the site! It looks like your docs engine is based on Gatsby. I'm looking into replacing our current static site generator, and Gatsby's near the top of the potential list.

I haven't dug into the repo yet, but building your own docs engine atop Gatsby seems like it would require a lot of additional config. Any major things you needed to address that Gatsby couldn't do out of the box? And when you say further use of the docs engine, are you open to other organizations using/tweaking it?
About twenty years ago I endeavored to learn both Standard ML and OCaml, and I found I preferred SML. I'm not clear how OCaml has gotten more mindshare, but I really liked SML/NJ.

Any action movie where the bad guys are stereotypical Russians? The way Russians and their culture are disparaged in media?

> how is that not trivial?

It could be trivial to implement an optimisation which does this for that exact code. But what are you going to do? Hand-code an optimisation for every similar thing people could write? I implemented a general solution.

So it also works through metaprogramming:

[1, 2, 3].send(:sort).send(:[], 1)

Through user-defined sorting order:

[1, 2, 3].sort_by { |a, b| b <=> a }[1]

When nested:

[[1, 2].sort[1], 3].sort[0]

And so on.

Note that it also needs to be transparent to debuggers and profilers, it needs to handle multiple method redefinitions (for example what happens if someone redefines the sorting order for integers).

It's not a pattern-matching optimization - it's partial evaluation enabled by a new kind of polymorphic inline cache.
California needs to become a purple state again. Ever since 1 party supermajority has taken over, monumentally idiotic laws have come into play and there is 0 checks and balances. The media is completely biased as well so other systems of checks are failing.
A plan is not a decision. Creating a plan is not tantamount to deciding too early, it's just a good idea.

Committing to the plan (especially a long range one) with no intent to deviate is just stupid, and is the critical flaw of Waterfall.

Agile is about responsiveness. In order to be responsive you need tight feedback loops (a reason the idea of sprints and scrum are ok). But are you responding if you don't have a plan? You aren't responding, you're reacting. Make the plan, but don't make a commitment too far out (commitments are kinds of decisions). Respond to changing circumstances and don't let yourself get caught in an action-reaction loop, because you can't react fast enough. At some point you have to think and respond.

Also, "decide as late as possible" is better read as "decide at the last responsible moment". If I know that I can get someone hired in two weeks, I can, in the first phrasing, wait until 2 weeks before someone retires to start that process. But it's not responsible. The last responsible moment is probably 2-4 months (at least) before the retirement so people can get trained up and moved around.

Counting rideshare cars as "single occupant vehicles" is not "double counting" -- whether I drive in to work and park my car myself, or I take Uber and get dropped off, that's still one trip so it's the same congestion. If he picks up another fare immediately, then that's a new single occupant vehicle trip.

But I think it's rare during commute hours that a ride share driver will drop someone off downtown and immediately find another fare, he's going to have to leave downtown to get his next passenger. So that Uber driver is worse than a single occupant vehicle, he's made 2 trips for one passenger (once to drop me off, once to leave downtown to pick up his next fare).

In off hours, sure, the driver brings someone in, then doesn't have to search far to find someone else looking for a ride, but during commute hours I don't think that's true.
I thought we are trying to stop hate for characteristics someone has no control over (sex, sexuality, race, gender, disability, nationality). I think any "punches" thrown at a group that was just born that way is not fair and the direction should not be a factor. Shouldn't someone be judged on their character and thoughts, not their biology or circumstances? If you aren't doing that then you aren't being genuine for stopping stereotyping and hate.

This includes "majority" populations and those more privileged. We shouldn't give hateful or blanket statements for them as they never decided to be that way. Putting entire groups of people based on some trait they were born with on blast is wrong.

Also the direction is a slippery slope too. "Well yes I can direct blanket negative/stereotypical/hate statements against Indians because I myself am a disabled, trans minority" ad-infinitum.

Not exactly, what I’m saying is I don’t buy any argument that the taxes are so high in CA because they need to be to provide the services that allow it to have a good economy. The only possible exception to this is the UC system. Other than that I think California has a good economy mostly as a result of its location, size, and geography

MX has a free market in healthcare, this allows people to get better care and lower prices as all free markets do

The cost of care in the US is so high because of the layers and layers of regulations, tax code, and legal liabilities that compound to influence the market in ways that are Anti-Consumer and increase prices on the service
