What happens with drivers logged-in on multiple apps at the same time? Do they both pay the driver his iddle fee?

Almost every driver I encountered had both apps open and would shut the other one down when accepting a ride.

How does this works for medallions drivers? The poor driver who just paid 150$ for the privilege of renting a medallion car for the day. Is he getting paid when waiting for rides?

That's because it's available in France. If you try to load it in The Netherlands, it does what they're saying.
Maybe your goal was to "just" flatten the curve which, even if you don't overwhelm hospitals, still leaves a lot of people dead or with permanent damage. Others think the best strategy is (and some other countries' stated goal was) to push cases down to a number where containment strategies (tracing contacts and wiping out infection chains) work again. Some countries got too lax after the lockdown and let cases rise above tracing capabilities again, in other countries that still works.
> yet comparatively negligible death rate.

Isn't this primarily because it's mostly the younger demographic that was getting covid over the summer?
Tempted by the offer being open to existing subscribers, but seems odd they are selling a 4K/HDR supporting device, but not offering a 4K based plan!
I'm a strong proponent of separation of duties on the web (style and visuals in CSS, layout in HTML, anything interactive in JS). Enabling data binding in HTML would only serve to blur those lines.

With some minimal JS, you can update each web component already. Is writing nameField.innerText = response.name really that difficult? What problem does it solve to make a standard for it? As for (de)serialization, JS has built-in support for JSON and XML. HTML attributes are everything but rickety in my opinion, as any decent parser will allow you to access them as if they are a normal dictionary. Put JSON in them if you really want to encode complex data in attributes, although you probably shouldn't.

I strongly believe the abhorrent overuse of React and other such libraries on the web is the sole reason our computers have gotten hundreds of times faster but the web is only slightly as quick. I don't see a place in web standards for a React-style functional design because of the specific rules each of these libraries have.

Mainland Europe meaning not an an island I assume.
Part of Coinbase's purpose is to provide its workers with a safe environment and fair compensation, even if it's not explicitly written in their mission statement. As such, protesting dangerous work conditions and collectively asking more pay is directly related to a company's mission. What happened at Coinbase was that workers walked out because their CEO didn't want to Tweet about the latest social issue du jour. It's very difficult to imagine what anyone seeks to accomplish with this.
I predict the Pixel 5 will be the last phone Google markets. They failed to take the high end and retreated. Now they seem to be back focusing on the mid-range with a phone that has awful specs...you'd be better off buying a used S20. Its amazing that Google can't even capture meaningful market share in a segment they created.
Portugal and Spain is interesting. Spain response is probably one of the worst in the world, with things getting so bad that the army had to clean out the dead from the living from abandoned nursing homes. I don't think you can compare the two really, since Spain's response seems so chaotic and mismanaged?

I got a feeling that picking the low hanging fruit in time (i.e. concerts, clubs, packed public transport) is enough to not get a big spike at all. Otherwise most European countries should explode since social distancing is no way taken as serious anymore.
Turns from amazing to expected after awhile. The more I read the comments the more I agree with the Gell Man Amnesia Effect. I don't trust HN with any commentary about anything anymore - not even software development.
It's all useless. With a regular camera, absolutely, but I don't think the Pixel has changed its sensor since the 2? It's all post-processing improvements.
They are running it on Windows. It attempts to deny all outbound traffic if the VPN is not connected, but the WSL2 traffic does not follow that rule and gets out anyways.
> The workplace is the one space where your political opponent can't simply escape from politics, and has to be confronted with your views

It is for this exact reason that many people object to politics being overtly brought into the workplace against people's will.

If someone wants to discuss politics (or religion or sexuality or anything else that makes us all human) with you, have at it. If they don't want to, you need to stop.

No means no here as well. The fact that they can't leave imposes a higher burden on consent, not a lower one, IMO.
Can anyone recommend other resources similar to this?
Definitions are super important. Getting agreement on definitions is really hard and can easily get us stuck in a loop.

In my last job, we spent months talking about "What is a Sale?" is it when someone signs a contract or when they pay or when they move in, etc...

Then you add your sale metric into a table and as that table is used in different places the sales numbers till don't match, people don't remember what a sale is and the conversation starts up again.

Why is Narrator different?

In Narrator, you don't define what a sale is, you break up your data into customer actions.
So "Signed Contract", "Paid Invoice", "Moved In" and thus as people ask different questions we can alway clearly see what they are referring to.

Step 1 to alignment is guaranteeing consistency and transparency.

How do you deal with states?
You are right that does make it really hard. We see customers leveraging the incremental aspect of the activity stream to diff the stream with the updated_at to pull out changes as the activity stream updates. (every 15 minutes so yes you will loose changes in between that time). This doesn't solve the problem but does take you much closer. And then when you do add proper timestamps then you can have historical data in the activity stream and cleaned data from you new tables merged. All the users using that activity are NOT affected.

Not perfect but allows us to have as accurate data as possible.

What about the market?
Yes, I agree the market is a challenge since the world has been only using star schema. We hope that standardization, speed, reusability aspect of Narrator is so compelling that people slowly switch.

How do we get numbers to match?
Consistency and Transparency. Every one who uses the "Completed Order" uses the same revenue. SO it is consistent!
Then you can add the "Shipped Order" activity which has the shipping amount.

By having clear CONSISTENT definitions and clear activities you end up in a world where your numbers match. The only ways for numbers not to match is if some is being deliberate about getting the data not to match which thanks to dataset, is always transparent.

Definitions are a social problem but technology, limitations and consistency can help a lot.
As opposed to other built-in OEM smart platforms, which definitely have a long life filled with useful updates?

The real solution is that the smarts should be in a Chromecast or Apple TV or Roku, that way it's easy to replace or upgrade.
Hmm. Very tempted to trade in my 4 for this, and I'd much rather have fingerprint unlock than face unlock. It's cheaper than the 4 and has a bigger battery. I'm sure the cameras are at least adequate. Is it worse than the 4 in any way?

I don't know how to compare the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 765G with Octa-Core in the Pixel 5 to the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 855* with Octa-Core in the Pixel 4.

I wonder if Google Fi is going to do anything special with 5G? I haven't noticed any particular announcements.

Edit: pulled the trigger. I'm so glad they went out of stock on the regular google store, because that reminded me to buy it on the Fi store, where I got better trade in value, and the green one is available.
A lot of restaurants in states that reopened are at a lot more than 10% capacity.
WSL2 _is_ Linux inside a VM that's a peer of Windows. Having it connect to VPN on its own is _exactly_ what you have to do.
Fear is a psychological state.

Doing a cost-benefit analysis and avoiding high-cost tail risk doesn't imply anything about psychology.
> one glance at Boris Johnson should get anyone worried.

He always looked disheveled. Has it gotten worse?

Agreed on he longterm effects, I don't think we know all of the longterm impacts yet and as such I'd prefer to avoid it until a safe vaccine is available.
> The goal wasn’t ever to save every last life no matter the economic consequences.

My goal is to save my life and my families lives - every one of them

If that means wearing masks we wear masks

If that means not going to restaurants, we eat at home
The BIG difference here is that Netflix is fully integrated with the search/queue/discovery experience, along with all of the other major streaming services like Prime. Apple hasn't managed to land that one yet – having access to their content baked into the experience is a huge advantage, let alone not alienating Netflix as Apple did in the past with the TV app: https://9to5mac.com/2019/03/18/netflix-apple-video-service-t...
It doesn’t load correctly on my recent iPhone. The text doesn’t display and the images are glitchy. So apparently they’re not trying to sell to anyone with an iPhone.
>But... lockdowns aren't happening in New York City right now?

Yes, they are. Today is the first day in seven months that NYC is allowing indoor dining, but it is at 25% capacity. Gyms, salons, and other similar industries are operating at similar capacity. Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio are already, this week, talking about rolling it back.

87% of the entire hospitality industry is unable to pay rent.

>The problem is that people don't want to suffer or die from a horrible lung disease, or have their friends and family die from it. Pretending that the disease is harmless and gone doesn't actually make it so.

Adults are capable of making that decision for themselves. This is a free country. If what you are saying is true, indoor dining today should be relatively empty. I'll walk by a few restaurants and let you know how crowded they are.
It works ok on 2018 Macbook Pro (2,3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5), MacOS, Firefox.
I love everything about Mullvad except their device limit, which is unfortunately a deal breaker for me. 5 is completely inadequate for my use cases.
Exactly. The best piece of supporting evidence for my original point is that even Google themselves, in all of their Web Components marketing, used Polymer for everything. To the point where some people didn't really even understand the distinction between the two! That was a giant admission that this stuff is useless without databinding.
Buy vs. Building Software
Focusing on comparisons to geographically nearby countries doesn't make sense to me, and feels arbitrary. That's also not controlling for all the factors that differ between the countries. Reducing the conversation to total deaths and unemployment rates also doesn't give credit for the various benefits of having permissive COVID guidelines.

Sweden had a big spike in COVID deaths very early on, and it was in large part from adult nursing homes, where appropriate precautions were not taken. As of late July, 70% of COVID deaths in Sweden were from adult nursing homes (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7369443/). But they first hit no excess mortality in early June (https://news.yahoo.com/sweden-records-first-week-no-15544144...), while still retaining many of their freedoms. That's noteworthy.

As for unemployment - making a comparison across countries doesn't control for all the other confounding factors that are relevant to economic health. And in a globalized economy where we have suppliers and customers in foreign countries, it is hard to remove all exposure to OTHER countries' COVID economic impacts. Perhaps if more countries implemented Sweden's plan, everyone's economic outcomes would be better.

Getting back to the unrecognized value of Sweden's approach: there is value in having the freedom to move around, in holding gatherings, in patronizing businesses, in having kids receive a normal education, and so forth. I am shocked Americans have accepted top-down authoritarian restrictions on their lives so readily, as the goals changed from flattening the curve to seemingly trying to save every last life. I would rather individuals make decisions about their own lives while assessing the risks for themselves. Those who are risk averse are free to restrict their own lives - but they shouldn't impose restrictions or demand actions of others.

We can't operate society around trying to save every last life. If that is the bar, then even in a typical flu season we should be keeping everything on lockdown. Could you imagine living like that permanently? Clearly that isn't acceptable. But if THAT isn't acceptable, then we are already saying that there is a finite value in saving a life (rather than infinite), which has to be taken in balance against the value in everything else.

Moreover, given how low the infection mortality rates are for those under 70 (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scena...), we are simply robbing the young [of socialization, education, summer vacations, memories with their family, etc.] to keep the old alive longer. I don't think that tradeoff makes sense, and we should simply ask those at risk to stay home while others are free to go about their lives.
They should just go all-in and bring back the 90's. "Pixel 3000 EXTREME MAX"
Fraud departments provide a pretty useful service to consumers. The existing finance system is so much larger than the Bitcoin economy that it's no surprise if they, in total, rival Bitcoin in energy intensity. It processes orders of magnitude more transactions and provides other services that people use that have no Bitcoin equivalents.

This isn't a defense of the modern financial system, which is arguably a trash fire for plenty of reasons, but of course it's fairly energy intensive. It's massive. If it were replaced entirely by Bitcoin, it would be even more intensive.
Google TV is a device + client software. Google does provide content itself...in the form of YouTube.
Good point, let’s switch to unbreakable open source systems based on OpenSSL instead.

This kind of advocacy is not only unhelpful but actually counterproductive
Yeah, seems that they listened, I'm very pleased that they are bringing back the fingerprint sensor for Pixel 5.
I believed the same thing, right up until I picked up a HomePod, which quickly cured me of it.

Does it shake your chest? Not quite. Can it literally shake the windows? I mean, make actual windows produce an audible buzzing noise?

Yes, it emphatically can. I would still choose a larger cone for a bass guitar, though; it's right there in the name.
this is beautiful and hilarious
Yes, but less than the first time around since a lot of people already had it, we had time to prepare, and social distancing measures (avoiding dense areas, masks, etc) make a fast break out more unlikely.
One reason to move off of Windows would be running graphical Linux apps. But that'll change soon.
The goal is simply that all hours worked are for minimum wage. Under Seattle law, paying someone less than minimum wage is theft. Nobody is ignoring anyone's economic interests. They are simply attempting to stop wage theft.

If you were a foreigner and had to invest your savings somewhere (because banks and govs are forcing negative rates) where would you invest
Because in my opinion Windows is terrible :) For many reasons.

Linux users don't use Nvidia if they are interested in the modern desktop use case. That's a well known factor. If someone migrates to Linux using Nvidia, chances are high they'll change it to AMD on the next GPU upgrade.
I believe Microsoft's internal build toolchain was part of the leak. Looks like the particular tool used wasn't part of the centralized CI system, but rather one intended to be used to time how long builds take (guessing: intended to be run on the developer's workstation as a pre-checkin checklist step, in order to avoid committing code that bloats CI build-time?)
I can't tell how far down the page I am, I scroll and an effect happens in the screen or a video plays instead. It is very resource intensive making my pixel 3a xl slow noticeably.

Personally I would have preferred a normal page. It looks like a web designers dream but it's not usable like a normal web page.
> lockdowns aren't happening in New York City right now?

New York still has very significant restrictions including on dining out and group size. It is not the complete lockdown that happened earlier.

They are even including restrictions on hours restaurants can be open...
> Epic knowingly violated their developer agreement. There was no retaliation

I think you don't understand how this works. The agreement itself is the subject of the lawsuit and thus MUST be violated in order to show harm. Epic did it on purpose in order to sue Apple and whether you agree with that or not, it is the only mechanism the law allows to make the agreement itself the subject of the suit. And Epic does have a right to sue Apple for whatever reason they choose.
Great channel Julien. Great information without too much of the standardized youtube fisheye upsell and "smash that like button"
Are you saying that hospitals currently overwhelmed or not?

It seems to me you're saying "we wanted to stop the kitchen from burning, but once that failed we just let the fire take the rest of the house too".

I may be reading it wrong though? Are you saying there is little risk of hospitals being overwhelmed at this point? Or are you saying that things are already so out of control we might as well stop trying?

>Our survey of the climate record from station data reveals many global TW exceedances of 31° and 33°C and two stations that have already reported multiple daily maximum TW values above 35°C. These conditions, nearing or beyond prolonged human physiological tolerance, have mostly occurred only for 1- to 2-hours’ duration (fig. S2).

[...]

>Steep and statistically significant upward trends in extreme TW frequency (exceedances of 27°, 29°, 31°, and 33°C) and magnitude are present across weather stations globally (Fig. 2). Each frequency trend represents more than a doubling of occurrences of the corresponding threshold between 1979 and 2017.

[...]

>The southern Persian Gulf shoreline and northern South Asia are home to millions of people, situating them on the front lines of exposure to TW extremes at the edge of and outside the range of natural variability in which our physiology evolved (36).

I feel like air conditioning millions (and soon, billions) of people will be more than a rounding error of GNP. Indeed, economic activity may be... slightly curtailed... in countries where going outside results in death.

I'm pointing out that HTML as it exists right now doesn't solve the big problems around this. I still think it could be extended to do so, but what's important here is that it hasn't been.
The A-series of phones has consistently been better than the "full" phones. They have a headphone jack; are usually slightly smaller; are much cheaper; the backs are sometimes made out of better materials (glass is the worst material for a phone back). You'd be a fool not to wait for the 5A's improvements.
What you're alluding to is the design studies, A/B testing that they do for say should this button be placed at the top-right or left-bottom? Google probably does immense testing on their UI to make sure it is optimized. What I am referring to is complete re-thinking of UI when it comes to presentation of content. I don't think it would even be on the table for testing and spending time at Google.

I don't doubt that Google has to do everything that maximizes profit, but I seriously doubt if anyone has tried to make a static page for an experiment. The kind of design language today is an amalgamation..or rather a hodgepodge of current design trends, anti-functionalist fashion-like waves that UI aesthetic makes rounds in Designer circles and the copy-cat nature of "If Apple is doing it we should to" or "Stripe's success can be attributed to their sleek animations and design sensibilities", yet there is no validation. I am willing to bet.

I seriously doubt if they can even produce a static, simplified page that shows photos in high resolution and have tested that on real users.
In our modern world, people have the ability to travel quickly from one place to another. The only place we can block that is the national border.

Therefore, we must have a consistent policy within that border if we ever hope to get this under control.

Or we need to set up internal borders, which is quite against the constitution.

A supporter of radically free speech is attracted to a company because it bans political speech.
To be honest, in the second case I refuse to acknowledge because it is newspeak: redefinition of words to mean whatever benefits the party now. (it has been a few years since I read 1984, but I think I remember this correctly.)

It is immediately clear even as a foreigner what racism really means and whoever tries to redefine it as a general slur deserves to be called out for it, just in the same way as they try to redefine assault rifle to mean any scary looking gun.

That said, have my vote: you seem reasonable.
Meh it's not strategically genius. The crypto community is hugely political and right-libertarian leaning. He's just signalling that he's not going against that trend.

> He's totally neutered the ability of employees to take strong political stances

He absolutely has not. I'm sure they will continue to take hard right-libertarian stances that are common in the cryptocurrency world.

I'd be interested in a real study that actually measured how often people are explicitly choosing the walled garden, and how often they're choosing something else that the walled garden "happens to come with".

My money is on the second option but AFAIK there's no study like this.
Every single article quotes the judge as being dismissive of the market being defined as being a manufacturers own devices. She specifically called out the similarities between the iPhone and the console makers.

She at no point showed any sympathy to defining the market as narrowly as the non-lawyers on HN would like it to be defined.
