all non-issues. Adobe is intentionally breaking the software.

Those arguments are like saying an Apple ][ shouldn't be able to run "The Print Shop" anymore because someone might haul their IIe and an ImageWriter into the Genius Bar.

People know it's unsupported but they still want to use it for whatever reason.

It has zilch to do with the reasons you listed. Adobe is making being a legitimate customer needlessly difficult by hustling their customers to pay for the software again. They will learn the same lesson the RIAA and the MPAA did.
I have a family history of colon cancer, so get them done periodically. The procedure isn't terrible, but the prep is worse. Pretty sure I need seat belts for the toilet for that day. Otherwise... meh. Beats dying.
This is an often recurring argument on this subject.

For example, I don't care about having a big garden but I don't necessarily enjoy living in a dense city. If I could WFH at least three days a week for the foreseeable future, I would gladly move to a town in the suburbs where I could have a bigger apartment for the price of my studio apartment. I bet a lot of people would do the same. This would lessen the pressure on housing in the city center, so people like you who actually prefer living in the big city for reasons other than work could afford larger apartments.

My main reason for living where I do is so that my commute is less than 30 minutes each way.

I guess the point is that as the constraint of everyone working in the same place is reduced, there will be less people wanting to live in the city allowing better conditions for those who do.
No, they want both you and the potential pre-owned Mac buyer to buy a new device each.

Only the first few bullets seem to be all that relevant here.

Ok so Uber has to show that ride information,"bad drivers" decline that work and your pay goes up on long rides you already take. Why are you opposed?

> It might cost more, but it wouldn't be much more.

It will cost substantially more. Employment taxes and benefits alone add another 30% to Uber's cost structure. On top of that, paying drivers for downtime (which will be inevitable in an employment model) will add who knows how much more. I wouldn't be surprised if prices rise by 50%+ in suburbs.
I'm a developer, not a designer, but I've found that I can do everything that I previously used Photoshop and Illustrator for using Sketch and Pixelmator instead, and the latter are both polished and a joy to use.
> they have decided that this is their best option

Do you think they'd still sign up if Uber was upfront about only paying ~$4/hr?

> why should only employed people deserve than minimum standard

Why does Uber think unemployed people don't deserve the minimum standard?

> Surely our legislature is to blame for allowing people to have such a low standard of living

Do you think this ruling lines up with that?
> if the workers understand they are making under minimum wage.

The Uber workers most definitely are not making minimum wage. They actually see very well how much they’re making, and are not as gullible as HN likes to imply to not notice if they were ripped off.

It is common for people here to make argument that Uber drivers make less than minimum wage, but that typically proceeds on some very dubious assumptions, which throw the numbers way off. I don’t want to elaborate too much on nuances of actual operational costs vs IRS mileage rate, depreciation, financing and all that stuff, because there is a more obvious point.
Uber drivers can always rent a car from Hertz, which partners with Uber and will rent you a car for ~$250/week. This rate includes all maintenance and repair, so if drivers go this way, their only remaining significant costs are gas and insurance. At the and of the month, they can easily tally up the Hertz bill, their gas costs and their insurance payment, and compare with earnings. Suffice to say, it is above minimum wage, assuming they worked full time.
I couldn't agree more. Compared to my previous job at an office, where my manager's role seemed to be to draw developers into pointless arguments he had won beforehand, as a fully remote developer I find myself only interacting with management a couple of times per day on Slack and the odd Zoom call.
The central point of proper accounting is that it prevents frauds, scams, Ponzi schemes, or other nonsensical companies from existing. Companies that feel free to abandon those principles are inviting the possibility of becoming one of those kinds of companies.

In other words, it's a purely utilitarian argument. If Tesla is abandoning basic honesty in its accounting, then it's likely that there will come a day where, almost out of nowhere, the company collapses. We saw this with Wirecard recently, so this is not a unrealistic claim. This is arguably the worse possible outcome of an investment.

My own views are very much secondary to what could happen if this continues. You should view this problem entire on the premise of what the real-world risks are, and how it could affect investors.
I am curious if you would like to share your experiences.
I use FFmpeg (almost) daily and I would go as far as saying it is one of the most reliable pieces of software I 've ever used.
I think they just don’t want them. Maybe because one can make more in private industry, or they don’t like dealing with bureaucracy.

Same with being in academia.
Why not just pirate at that point?
I switched to Tidal for similar reasons and it has been really painful. Unfortunately the competition is so bad that Spotify can do really, really bad things before it outweighs their overall competence at service delivery.

I don’t understand how it got to this point; Tidal seems like the most viable option but I swear even back in 2008 the field had far more solid options (e.g. Zune, as much as it was a commercial failure, was really great to use IME).

I just don’t understand how other streaming services haven’t delivered something like Spotify Connect yet. It has been available and basically the standard for streaming since 2014 at least.
I was surprised how easy it was. I searched for a version for my cousin to use (she doesn't have the money and won't make money from using it, but she was taught how to use it in school).

The warez scene nowadays have pre-patched *.iso versions of the whole Creative Suite (last years version I believe). No need for a keygen, messing with your hosts file or manually replacing files after install.

Not that I trust those, I didn't run them on my PC, just tried it out in a VM. If they went through all the effort of creating that version, then I don't really trust it to not contain a cryptominer of botnet client.
Does anyone have some experience with this use-case: I have a MP4 file and a SRT file with subtitles is there a convenient way to re render the video with subtitles drawn on it so I can use it in places where subtitles are not supported? Is it a super cpu intensive process that takes a long time for let's say a typical 2 hour movie?

One of the studies I saw was from Sweden and it looked specifically at twins where one had been injured. This is probably about as close to an RCT as you can get. That said, it doesn't separate the anesthesia from damage due to the injury itself, or the trauma of the surgery.

Still, getting anesthesia for something like a colonoscopy or a root canal strikes me as a very disproportionate risk given the evidence.
Yeah it's typical CA weather. The heat may not start until August but it hangs around until Nov/Dec. The thing is, we're just about to the end of the warm season. The rains may(it's a La Niña year, right?) start soon, and cold weather as well.
> For a PDF? No way! For a whole set of PDFs sharing the same template, some containing auto-generated data and with builds triggered by external events? Oh yeah!

You do not need a full blown CICD pipeline or git or anything at all to do that. Even LibreOffice, of all things, has doc templates and doc includes.

Hell, have you ever heard of TeX/LaTeX? People have been using it for decades for the same effect. You write the text, generate the doc, and you're set.

There's no need to go all-in on a resume-driven-development rampage. I mean, why on earth would anyone force any cleric worker to read up on GitHub Actions just to be able to send a report? You can't really justify that, can you?
>Not saying 'good' or 'bad', just, you can't blame the city for the price of the medallion; it already had a high one due to the demand outstripping the supply. Makes sense that the government would seek to profit when it supplies them, given that.

I can certainly blame the city for letting the demand exceed the supply. Irrespective of 22 Uber et all was a well deserved comeuppance for the taxi industry.

Not as far as I can tell, and I believe they let you do point-in-time copies. I’ve got a copy of mint, formerly electroNow (it was better when it was electroNow) from June 2017 in my collection.
If scheduling shifts were better for Uber and Lyft, they would have done it already.
When I was doing my MBA about a decade ago, I teamed up with two other grad students to propose, raise money and ultimately install a demonstration / residential size wind turbine on campus. It was part of our work positioning entrepreneurship around clean energy.

We worked with the college press office to draft our press release, and in it we made the claim that it was the first wind turbine on a school campus in the greater Boston area.

Well one of the bigger papers picked up the story and the press office ended up getting a nasty voicemail from some parent at a private high school in some Boston suburb. The parent wanted our school to know that HIS kid's school was the first to put up a wind turbine.

This actually worried our little team because we didn't want to say something untrue. But the pr person explained that this "first to do X" type of thing is a very common press tactic and it is not unusual to have your claim disputed.

And that second, "greater Boston area" is not really a narrowly defined term.

This was something of a relief and we sort of had a running gag about the PTA dad with sour grapes about our wind turbine from then on.
Anecdotally:

100% counter to what virtually every Lyft driver who drives full-time has told me.

Data-wise:

Where is your evidence? I thought that by now, the free market would have solved all of the above problems?

Philosophically:

No one's job should be dependent on tips. Tips ALWAYS are filtered via biases that tap into sexism, racism, xenophobia, and never a financially responsible way of building an economy.

Vote no Prop 22, otherwise you are bailing out failed companies that work on unreliable business models.
In my training it was usually the exhale that was lengthened. Though my training was more physical yoga focused (Asana) so perhaps classical / more advanced / different purpose pranayama is different. Usually it was 1:1:2 inhale, hold, exhale.
Maybe if they were paid enough, and/or had to vie for a limited supply of drivers, they'd turn on AC, clean their car, do short rides, etc.

People forget that when Uber was charging a fair price, the rides and drivers were nice. The race to the bottom has squeezed a lot of the good drivers out of the normal tier, and now you get busted vehicles with dirty interiors, and drivers not suited for driving OR hospitality.
Apple claimed you got more for less by using the MacOS/MacSystem instead of DOS/Windows. Apple made a lot of money being different than Microsoft. Easier to use easier to configure easier to troubleshoot.

I got a Mac SE and Mac IIcx 6Macs and a G3 iMac. I don't use them I collected them over the years to see if they go up in value.

The idea is from what most people agree is a corrupt reading of religious texts.
The people peddling it, dishonestly pretend to be doing science and misrepresent science and the evidence so they can dupe people who are not educated in science enough to understand why it is all wrong.
And the problem is, now that they have convinced people that they are being lied to by the rest whole rest of the world, they start to believe anything including misinformation and blatant lies about wearing masks during a pandemic somehow being dangerous and rubbish about 5G harming people.
I'm all for free speech but until there is a cost for shouting fire in an auditorium when there is is no fire, private companies have a duty to not be a vector for this misinformation to be propagated on their platforms.

Burning subtitles into the video implies re-encoding. And if you want maintain video quality, you'll have to choose a pretty good quality setting like crf=24 and this will take a lot of time even on H.264/AVC.

You are looking at multiple hours (>2) for a 2-hour movie from my experience. One way to reduce this is to spin up a DigitalOcean droplet (a $80 per month droplet) that'll give you a lot of processing power, finish your encoding in 2-3 hours,and shut it down. It'll save you a lot of headache and time.

Not sure I answered your question, but, hope that helped!
I hope 22 passes.

The current incentive structure between drivers, riders, and Uber is really good.

The ability to scale up and down quickly based on demand, surge pricing, incentive to give more rides to make more, not wait around etc.

This legislation seems like it’ll make things worse for most people, except people interested in doing the minimum number of fares possible to not get fired (and the teamsters pushing the legislation for their own power).

Rides will be more expensive, harder to get, current issues with drivers not showing up or canceling will likely be worse.

Good drivers that work part time end up screwed. Taxis sucked - I’d rather not go back to that because of some grudge against tech companies held by people that don’t know what they’re talking about.
i started to use Linkerd and its way too cool :D Is there any reason to choose Nginx service mesh over linkerd which is already secure , supported by CNF.
I think while what you said is true, trust is only half of the story.

People choosing to believe whatever that fits their worldview. And they have their own bias in choosing to view those information. Their bias were formed from years if not decades of their experience and observation with real world.

Even if we have a magic wand to restore everything to the old days. These people's world view wouldn't have changed.

Modern Day Media amplifies and solidify those world view. Creating an even more polarising society than ever before.

Really? To give just one example, if I press cmd-T in PS, I go into an editing mode where I can translate, rotate, and scale a layer with intuitive, contextual mouse controls for each. With GIMP it's broken up into separate commands. I didn't spend so much time with it, but with PS things got guessable very quickly, where with GIMP it felt like the features are just stuffed in there wherever they can fit.

> As you can imagine, 65,536 characters did not turn out to be nearly enough for all the world’s languages—much less the wave of weird characters yet to appear.

Eh, it was nearly enough. There were too many obscure Chinese characters but 17 bits would have fit just about everything. And for things like emoji it's not "much less", it's "a smidgen less", they're quite tiny in comparison.

And that timeline is a mess. UTF-8 came before UTF-16.

That depends on which version you use. IIRC the version in the Ubuntu/*buntu repo's have a patch to bring the UI closer to PS, at least in appearance.

There are also some functions which you have to do differently in GIMP vs PS.
The article states "The case emerged after California implemented a law, known as AB5, aimed at reclassifying ride-hail, food delivery and other app-based workers as employees entitled to benefits such as unemployment insurance and minimum wage."

It's okay that you aren't familiar with PEGs. I am familiar with PEGs, and so I know just by reading that, which way the ambiguity resolves. So for me, a human reader, there is no obvious ambiguity.

It's like saying there's an ambiguity in "not a and b". Sure, if you don't know the precedence assigned to 'not' and 'and' in your language. But you're supposed to learn those things.

Your not knowing how PEGs work is a weak argument against using them.
> (...) and it is supprising to me how many future doctorate students don't understand the difference until it is too late.

Oh don't be confused. I assure you each and every single one of the understands the difference very well.

What it seems you're not understanding is that to them it's not a matter of having picked the soft money track over the tenure track. No, that choice was never on the table. Their choice was between the soft money track and no track at all. Thus the ones who are fortunate enough to be in a position to choose will pick the soft money track in hopes that it puts them in a better position to transition to a tenure one.

Filesystems that make this possible are the real crime against sanity. Most of the data would be stored on network shares, and the ransomware pulls the files, encrypts them, stores them back to the network share overwriting the original copy. Madness. Yes disk space isn't cheap, until you see the alternative.

We have a basic network filestore at Fastmail, it's not even a key part of our offering, but it stores up to 30 old copies and if you keep overwriting it does exponential backoff so you have the oldest copy in the past 2 weeks, plus one from a week ago, plus one from 3 days ago, etc up until a bunch of very recent copies. Ransomware would have to be running for 2 weeks to wipe out all the original files - and during that time the massive increase in disk usage would alert operations to something going on!

Likewise our email server software does integrity checks during replication between machines and won't perma-delete anything for a week after it gets expunged - and message content is immutable after writing, so changing anything is creating a new record and expunging the old one.

It costs extra space - but being safe against a client virus like this encrypting all the data on network shares isn't rocket science, and the network filesystem vendors who don't default to data safety are as much to blame as anybody for this still being a problem in $CURRENT_YEAR.
It will probably take approx 1:1 time. Maybe a bit more but not so much. As another sibling says, you need good quality re-encoding. Obviosly it depends on your CPU/GPU but I guess that is a giod approximation.

Interesting! I tried printing out a blank week chart and highlighting different periods of my own life. It needs work, but it's a great form of visualization.

I remember when I was only 60% as old as I am now that I thought I would do a "method of loci" project about the years of my life mapped to numbered streets in San Francisco, photographing different objects representing different life events on street corners corresponding to the ages that they happened at. Unfortunately I didn't get around to it at the time, and of course now it's harder (to remember earlier parts of my life, and also to find high enough street numbers in the City!).

Montparnasse cemetary is worth a visit. Dreyfus is there as well, if you hunt a bit further afield than Simone and Jean-Paul. And the Cartier-Bresson museum is nearby.

I assumed all the french writers hung together, but my favourite of these times after Camus is Raymond Queneau, who wrote "zazie dans le metro" and he was an almost exact contemporary of De Beauvoir, in time. They just seem to have led parallel, unrelated lives. Both communist, but no strong linkages.

here's a pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/381891243372004539/

thats about it. Amazing to plug two contemporary French modernist writers in the same time interval into search and come up with basically, only friend-of-a-friend.
Mixture models are surprisingly common and addition/subtraction are not limited to mutually exclusive events. In such cases one goes the route of inclusion/exclusion formula.

Summation is so fundamental to probabilities that it is how probabilities are even defined axiomatically in the Kolmogorov system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma_additivity
