That's..great that you dealt with one bully successfully. Or someone who's in your life for half an hour. It does seem you have no idea how bad bullying often is. I'm sure my case wasn't particularly bad, but it was bad enough for your apparent promotion of exposure to bullying as a good, character-building thing to seem oblivious to the problems a lot of people have with it. Bullying isn't part of my success story, it made me miserable for years. And the people doing it were seemingly happy about that.

I had dozens of bullies for years in high school - that combined with mostly very bad teachers made the experience one I could've done without. I never told any adult about the bullying or tried to do anything about it. Maybe because my father bullied me at home also, and I guess that was life. Eventually in my 20s I somehow healed myself, thanks to a self-help, psychology and spiritual books of all kinds and a lot of..inner work.

Can you share your path to ultras? How long did it take to get to those distances?

I’ve been a casual runner for a while, doing 5 - 10km at a time, and then recently caught onto Maffetone’s method of long, slower, low heartbeat runs and just did a half marathon. Seems to be working well for me, but an ultra feels a long way off!

The difference is in the power imbalance.
Taxi drivers hold much more power and control over their ability to earn compared to Uber and Lyft drivers.
I dug out my old Palm Visor Platinum (released in 2000) a few months ago. Works perfectly. I was even able to find a large collection of apps and transfer to it using the handspring sync program which runs ok in compatibility mode on Win10.

It uses AAA cells so battery is never a problem. I really wish we could go back to standard replaceable batteries for phones and laptops :(

Ah I didn't know they corresponded before 1833! That's great to know.

> In any case, the deeper questions of why the profession was thought to need a noun at all, and of Whewell's internal motivations, seem to me still rather unanswered.

I mean Whewell answers this in detail. There's no ambiguity about why the profession was thought to need a noun at all. It's clear they were looking for a single noun, not a string of words. And it's clear that the purpose was an overarching word to promote the unification of the natural sciences. And it's moreover clear it has nothing to do with trying to be inclusive of females at all (I mean Whewell even explicitly uses the word "gentlemen" to refer to these "proto-scientists").

I will re-quote the relevant portion of Whewell's 1834 review (and the only mention of the word "scientist" in the entire review) from elsewhere in this thread.

> And thus science, even mere physical science, loses all traces of unity. A curious illustration of this result may be observed in the want of any name by which we can designate the students of the knowledge of the material world collectively. We are informed that this difficulty was felt very oppressively by the members of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, at their meetings at York, Oxford, and Cambridge, in the last three summers. There was no general term by which these gentlemen could describe themselves with reference to their pursuits. Philosophers was felt to be too wide and too lofty a term, and was very properly forbidden to them by Mr. Coleridge, both in his capacity of philologer and metaphysician; savans was rather assuming, besides being French instead of English;

> some ingenious gentleman [this is Whewell referring to himself] proposed that, by analogy with artist, they might form scientist, and added that there could be no scruple in making free with this termination when we have such words as sciolist, economist, and atheist -- but this was not generally palatable;

> others attempted to translate the term by which the members of similar associations in Germany have described themselves, but it was not found easy to discover an English equivalent for natur-forscher.

It's hard to imagine a more direct exposition in 19th century English of Whewell's internal motivations.
as a fan of the fair-use doctrine, pixel art and the whole chiptune genre I agree that article is the worst.
No they don't. Taxi drivers are exploited end-to-end. There's a reason why the medallions eclipsed a million dollars in price. The drivers have to lease their cars on a daily basis, and start at around $160 leasing fee in the hole. They're driving for many hours before they start making any money at all. That's not "power and control", that's getting totally screwed. And every Uber or Lyft driver who has ever driven taxis before will tell you that.
Aren't AIs already better at solving CAPTCHAs than humans? Every time I see one of those fucking things I know some fellow thinking human being has decided that nope, I shouldn't be allowed to browse the web using privacy-protecting software. And if you think it's bad with Firefox and a couple add-ons just not to go insane from all the ads, try surfing any old website using the Tor Browser. I wonder if that's what it feels like to be surfing in China.
Even when the outside interests don't write the legislation, it's the staff and not actually politicians that too: politicians are basically constantly in meetings / at events and have no time for such work. :|

At the risk of sounding like a stereotypical leftist, I'm struggling to see how more of the blame can be on term limits, and not just a side-effect of our current version of democracy under capitalism.

Simply put, if I had 100B, and there was outside force threatening my business I would certainly invest to protect myself - this includes mundane things like investing in security and outside threats like regulation. I just don't know you would design a government that is protected against an outside player pouring hundreds of millions of dollars in order to change the laws. If anything I think an official who decided to get in bed with special interest groups is far more prepared to outspend any opponent, and is the safer option for special interests groups.

I think, in the future, we will see more Facebook era startups get smarter and smarter on playing politics. Airbnb originally failed miserably in their political game, but I think as time goes on SV will only get better at influencing California & global politics.

You should write it from the back seat of your car.
I think the other issue is that middle managers see that people working from home barely interact with them, which means that their middle man role is visibly unnecessary. A recipe for getting scared.
Forgive my ignorance, but doesn't California have public transport? Renting cars isn't the only option I would think?

I dunno, I'm not from the US so maybe I just don't understand.
This ruling could pave the way for a model that is good for everyone. As of now the gig economy exploits the poor[0]. Unless you think making 70% less than minimum wage is fair.

> It's hard to know whether Uber deflates the price of rides to keep demand high (and thereby steals surprlus from the drivers) or whether they inflate the price of rides to take a larger cut (and thereby steal surplus from riders).

Do they do either of these? Their historical approach has been to subsidize the rides, which enriches both passengers and drivers at Uber's expense.
I think Uber/lyft thought that self driving cars would arrive earlier than these regulations. Now they have to face a great difficulty to adapt to the new environment

It's cheap for professional use, but it's very expensive for amateurs and occasional users.

I was using Lightroom to manage my catalogue of photos. I'd open up Photoshop and Lightroom maybe a dozen times a year. It was nice to have them available but they were effectively costing me $20 each use. When Adobe products were an upfront payment I could choose to buy a product and keep it through multiple release cycles, which would reduce my cost.

Adobe have switched their revenue driver from improving the product and introducing new must-have features to making churn painful. In fact when I tried to cancel my ~4 year old subscription they decided charged me a penalty fee because it wasn't done immediately before my account's anniversary. Their incentives are now strongly misaligned with building a good customer experience.

HaikuOS, ReactOS, AROS, MorphOS don't have phone home features in their OS and are as easy to use as a Mac. They also run faster because they have a smaller RAM footprint.

> One of the prouder moments in life was convincing a legal team to convert a folder of Word docs to Markdown, check them into GitHub, and set up a CI/CD pipeline to convert them to PDFs to sharing.

> Imagine term limits of 1 day. No one would be making sound decisions with those yeas and nays.

I have no idea what terms limits of 1 day would do; it's not obvious to me. Please argue your point.

> And why would they always be 50 / 50 and "cancel out"?

I'm not talking about a vote split additive cancel out. I'm talking about how in `(termLimit * nFor) / (termLimit * nAgainst)` the `termLimit` factors cancel out.

> If you know nothing about a fairly complex topic, it's easy to be mislead, especially by someone with an ulterior motive that's playing a game much longer than your term limits.

Again you seem to be imagining legislators are dead at the end of the term and born at the beginning or something. They have plenty time to study the role before (c.f. the stereotypical centrist-psychopath politician planning from elementary school), and plenty of their career to be judged on their actions after.

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of factors that reinforce the status quo, but I still haven't heard a decent argument term limits aren't obviously among them one way or the other.
Many legislators come to the job with previous experience serving at the county or city level. Once they have are elected at the state level they can serve for up to 12 years. To me, that seems like a reasonable balance between giving them enough time to gain experience while not allowing them to stay in office forever and amass the power and corruption that led to the passage of term limits (proposition 140) in the first place.

Just because taxi drivers were exploited it doesn't mean Uber drivers aren't. They are exploited in different ways.
> I'd love to see "github for non-developers", that is little more than a markdown-app, with a thin wrapper around some git server and pandoc.

Aren't you describing a wiki?
That's not a very good argument though. The question is: will it benefit Uber and Lyft drivers to become employees?

Whether taxi drivers have ever been employees is not relevant.

Legislatures and Governors are merely instruments and people should be in charge. Having lived in many countries I would rather live in a country where Uber and Lift can add something to ballot rather than where they secretly bribe Governor or Legislators.

Both Uber and Lyft are California companies with billions of dollars in investment and thousands of employees, if they are facing an existential crisis I would at least give them a fair chance. California's hare brained policy to push some virtue signaling measure down the throats of Uber and Lyft is not good for gig economy, riders and innovations. Self driving cars would put all this theater to rest for good hopefully.

Special relativity definitely won't be a problem. Everyone see timings and speeds a little differently, but everyone can also do the calculation from anyone else's point of view. Objects that are in the same reference frame are objectively in the same reference frame in special relativity; everyone agrees. The reference frame is determined only by velocity. And the distortion is determined only by the observer's velocity, so both objects will have the same distortion.

GR I'm less familiar with.
California is a huge state, and LA, Southern California is huge metropolitan area, so too is the San Francisco Bay area.

Public transportation is mostly buses and some amount of light rail, they are indeed options if you are only traveling short distances, otherwise they are not a timely option if they are any option at all.

Within the city of San Francisco, I mostly travel either by my own car, by walking, or by bus or light rail, but SF is very unique in California, but to get to places in the region, outside the city, public transit is not your best bet
I believe lxml also supports streaming/incremental parsing (https://lxml.de/parsing.html#incremental-event-parsing). Nothing wrong with the standard library, but I seem to always turn to lxml for non-trivial XML work.
And that's partly how you end up with what many people would perceive as a "shadow government" -- obviously a group of people are writing the laws, and most likely they're experienced in doing so, but who _are_ they? And who are they accountable to?

Kind of like the bureaucratic equivalent of external consultants coming into a private company.
Agreed. There’s more focus on output and a lot of management simply produces nothing tangible.
Taxi drivers have unions through which they have pressurized government to create unusual barriers to entry. Thus they become rent seekers.

Also in many cities like NY, the taxi driver is not the owner of the taxi badge, since a badge costs upward of $300K it is often owned by some rich guy/company and taxi driver is basically a contractor treated even worse than Uber and Lyft's drivers.

California's move to force Uber to change agreements of its employment is nothing but a move to create new kind of rent seekers.
> You do understand right, that the faculty system relies on a pyramid of people entering and leaving the system? And only a certain fraction getting to the top, and people having to vacate the top of the pyramid for anyone else to get there? (for stable, or in other words, stagnant fields)

To put it differently and in terms that's easier to follow and understand, demand for tenured faculty positions is far smaller than the current supply of skilled labour.
We seem to be talking past each other. :) Of course there are no ambiguities in any parser (unless it returns multiple parses, which would hardly be practical). But that’s almost always because the designer had to resolve some ambiguities present in the grammar.

The question is, did the designer resolve them deliberately or accidentally? And were they resolved in an ergonomic way?

The grammar fragment “expr :: IF expr THEN expr ELSE expr” is ambiguous. If I write a statement like the example, I expect (from 60 years of language tradition and simple ergonomics) a language author to choose to resolve that ambiguity by associating an ELSE with the nearest IF. Telling your puzzled users “it’s not ambiguous, it always goes with the farthest IF!” isn’t going to make them happier. It also won’t work to say “well, + has higher precedence than /, but that’s OK, it always does that”. Those are just bugs in the language design caused by a bad resolution of ambiguity.

If you use a tool to flag the ambiguities in your grammar, then you can be sure all the resolutions in your parser are deliberate and not accidental.

There are people that used to rely on this software as a means of an income: graphic designers, production designers, animators, illustrators, the list goes on.

For a company to have such a grip on their means of living seems a bit harsh. I have great respect for the software, but not a high regard for the way it is sold. I can only hope that cheaper alternatives come along someday, but again, I think Adobe has quite a stranglehold on the industry because their software is the standard.
Important victory for workers everywhere. Drivers is only one if the first areas where gig companies tries to avoid rules and regulation on worker protection, rights and benefits, by making employees into contractors. I hope we can get similar legislation introduced here in Denmark.
By noun, I mean as opposed to phrase; i.e., unless I'm missing something this does not seem to touch particularly on why "man of science" [/ "men of science"] was not thought to be acceptable, given that it was apparently used about twice as frequently as "natural philosopher" in the surviving books of the time.

I also just noticed that in the 1831 letter, Whewell seems to have been sufficiently impressed by Somerville's book as to write her a poem about it. Such things were presumably more common at the time given that this was the Romantic era, but nonetheless would seem to sugesst that it made an impression on him.
... and I always make sure mine is in my profile too!

You know... just in case!
I can only speak for SF. While SF does have a public transportation system it leaves a lot to be desired. It usually runs late or not at all. Sometimes it's faster to walk 40-50min than it is to wait for the bus to stop by.
