Me too. Though I wasn't missing it as such, until now.
> I don't see what the issue is.

The issue is that uber and lyft will likely shutdown in much of california.

I guess you can think that this isn't bad, if you want. But I can assure you that many of their drivers, and customers, do not agree with you.

> Making certain business practices financially unsound is the point.

Ok, fine. But most of their california drivers probably disagree with you that it would be good for them to be fired. Most of them probably do not want to be fired. Which will likely happen.

Looks cool. Also, I wish that when I started university somebody would have forced me to start a "notes" repo like yours. Looks great and very smart to have.
If drivers can easily do that then honestly it shouldn't be difficult for Uber to move from a ridehailing company in California to a SAAS service provider, that is to say license the technology platform to companies that manage the drivers in a traditional way. (In fact that is literally how Uber operates in some European countries where drivers are already classified as employees).

And that is a very profitable business and healthy market actually the problem is just, Uber would have to give up its world domination plans and admit it's a software company, not the future of transportation

>Most people don't have a naive trust companies

I trusted Steve Jobs' Apple far more not because of some RDF or whatever Media spin. I trust it because it fits my world view and most of their action could well be explained. Trust is hard to build up, and normally after many incidents happened.

I lost that trust once you repeatedly find they were lying. Tim Cook's Apple lied during the Qualcomm case, and in the IMG case. Obviously Tim Cook was acting in Apple's best interest. But it was no longer Steve Jobs Apple.

It just shows Money and incentives are often ( for most people ) their motives.
And of course Californians will vote for the exact same legislators in the next election, as they always do, and then they will complain about rising housing costs, homelessness, deteriorating schools, crumbling infrastructure, wildfires, electric blackouts etc, as they also always do, but somehow they never manage to connect the two.
>California has the curve ball of the proposition system.

That is where special interest is most heavily felt. This court ruling is mostly meaningless. There is a proposition on the ballot that directly addresses this employment/independent contractor issue. It would supersede the legislature and make it nearly impossible for the legislature to repeal or amend the law. The prop also happens to have the most expensive campaign in history behind it. Something like 90-95% of the money came in on the Yes side and it is almost exclusively coming from Uber, Lyft, and similar companies.

Basically these companies didn't get what they wanted in the legislature. They didn't get what they wanted in court. So they are trying to buy it from the public. They are hoping we aren't motivated enough to educate ourselves on the issue and will instead just vote Yes because all the campaigning is telling us to do so.
> But Uber/Lyft/Doordash etc can give them autonomy, they can make them true contractors.

How? As far as I understand, this is literally impossible with AB5, unless they get an exemption like all the other contractor-based industries.

My 1 hour commute where I got much needed downtime during which I would read books was replaced with sitting in front of my screen working. Basically wound up working additional 2 hours a day.

Massive increase in unemployment, massive subsidies required to keep companies afloat, a smaller tax base to support it all. Entire industries that will no longer be able to recover if this lasts > another 6 months (and it likely will). Travel, leisure, festivals, conferences, hospitality, and all of their supply chain as well as infrastructure providers (for instance: air plane manufacturers, vehicle manufacturers) will be hard hit. This will cause a recession that it will be very hard to rebound from.

But why Uber would want that? What benefit would they get from they middleman, who’d also want to take his cut?

Are you aware that the majority of drivers don't drive full time? If full time drivers don't like it or don't make enough they should apply for employment at a company that meets their needs. A lot of service workers depend on tips.

You seem to imply that there is a general expectation among grad students that if they just keep at it long enough and do good work, they will become a professor one day.

Isn't that kind of a crazy assumption?

What's wrong with continuing your career as a researcher indefinitely? Or leave for industry/NGOs/public sector/politics/entrepreneurship if that's not what you want?

I'd think that the vast majority of people who enter grad school now don't do that with the intention do "climb up the academic career ladder", and if that is true, it doesn't need to be a problem at all.

There seems to be this assumption that it's desirable for everyone to always be progressing upwards in the institutional hierarchy.

I don't think all these people are as delusional as you imply.

> Obviously there are times when you add probabilities together, but usually you don't.

Maybe you don’t but it’s hardly unusual. Integrating out nuisance parameters from a posterior distribution is adding probabilities. Monte Carlo methods are based on adding probabilities.
> The demand is there

That's not true. The demand is there because the cost makes sense. I had a car, but after considering the cost of owning (and parking) that car, I found that I was better off not having a car and relying on Uber when I need to get somewhere that requires a car. If that math no longer makes sense, I'll probably go back to driving.
Some people are bad at their jobs. Every company has great workers, adequate workers and subpar workers. Why should Lyft and Uber be any different?

If you are from Europe and you have never visited California, then you have a lot to learn about our crazy transportation. Most of California, and especially Southern California, is car-centric. Los Angeles was the first large city that was built up after the invention of the automobile, and it really shows. Living in LA without a car is a pretty atypical behavior.

> All of them seem to disagree with you on your opinion that things were fine, actually, just the way they were before Lyft/Uber arrived.

FYI that is not my opinion and I never claimed any such thing.
It's a very small minority that thinks drivers are properly classified as employees. The drivers themselves certainly do not think so. Drivers literally do not have to work.
I've tried undervolting, which did very little for my desktop, but prolonged the battery life and reduce heat noticeably for my Surface Pro. Especially since the Surface was fan-less, the reduction in heat actually helps with performance as well. The only quirk is the BIOS of Surface provides no such options and I have to use intel extreme tuning utility, which crashes sometimes.

If Linux gets undervolting support, that will help a bunch of laptops without highly configurable BIOSes.
Uber obviously doesn't want it which is why they oppose it. but the law in a democratic society isn't supposed to be written by and for Uber, and the goal of the legislation is guaranteeing employee rights.

The argument just simply takes the wind out of the sails of Uber's best counter-argument, that they somehow would need to cease operations in the state and deprive customers of their service. They wouldn't, they can operate just fine as a software provider, they just don't get to eat the entire value chain. (which arguably apart from taking care of the employee issue also makes some sense from a competition standpoint).
SF is pretty much the best in the state overall for public transportation, except for maybe small portions of San Diego (like downtown or the UCSD area).

A cloud-ready/native nginx has very little to do with the old way of configuring nginx. This solution seems to be taking parts of Istio and plugging nginx as the "high-performance proxy" component. The complexity of Istio seems to stay, e.g. centralized PKI managed by operators where if something goes wrong and you don't have deep knowledge of how operators work, your nginx knowledge won't save you.

However, I'd think that this "warm blanket of familiarity" is exactly what F5 are trying to capitalize on. Basically, the name.
"bad drivers" as in "not making money" drivers. When you go out of town you stay there and take rides or set your direction home and pick up rides in that direction. Drivers who say they don't get paid coming back are ignorant.

That's kind of the problem Photoshop has been painted into. As things were added they were kind of shoved into the spots in the UI that existed early on.

Old-timers have muscle memory, but it's hard for newcomers to hunt for things because it's not logically organized. The steep learning curve is there for newcomers, but since it's what everyone uses they learn it.

Throw enough other hurdles like subscriptions and people will start to switch. It will be hard to dig themselves back out because changing their UI alienates old-timers.
I'm enthusiastic about the software that Uber and Lyft are developing to make this whole thing work so beautifully. I catch their algorithms making mistakes sometimes. I catch them doing something sneaky sometimes (Lyft more than Uber.) I have some ideas on how to make it work better. I've done 2000 rides and picked up some really interesting people. I like to go to different cities and try them out. It's fun. If my enthusiasm makes me a shill, then so be it.
I’ve noticed a few companies seemingly pricing things higher than you’d think was sensible (the one that struck me recently is Contentful, who’s pricing tiers quickly jump up to “far too expensive for a small company”)... my assumption is they’ve made a decision that they are better served going after the customers who can pay more and leaving the rest to the competitors.

I guess maybe this is based on projections about whether (in Adobe’s case) those customers unwilling to pay a subscription are likely to ever buy upgrades, maybe also it’s easier to focus on pleasing a smaller number of more “committed” customers? Not sure really, I’d be interested to read more.

But it’s probably a conscious decision on their part, unfortunately, so I doubt we’ll ever see “one off” purchase software from Adobe again.

I do pay for their Photography package (Lightroom, Photoshop and cloud storage) and actually the cloud storage and iOS versions of Lightroom make it worthwhile for me. I occasionally need a vector editor and would probably pay another £5-10/month for Illustrator, but instead I’d have to jump to paying for full CC, so I use Affinity Designer instead!

The idea is they’ll be an incentive to do the minimum amount of rides to remain employed.

I’ve already had drivers accept my ride and then just sit waiting or drive around aimlessly waiting for me to cancel so I’ll be charged for it.

I suspect this will be more common if giving rides is not directly tied to making money.

I'm not sure why people have a hard time believing that some drivers should do something else. Not everyone is cut out for it. It takes a lot to get fired (deactivated) by Lyft or Uber. Meantime, the bad drivers just struggle along loudly complaining.

Lets say I have a club I own, but I need to keep the riff raff out.

I cant openly ban poor or low society people from entering which would be considered "evil". But what if I mandated every service from a staff must be tipped with atleast 100$, because we value our workers more here.

This achieves the same purpose and I get to pretend to be egalitarian.

If this law is passed, ride sharing apps will still exist. They will have a smaller roster of higher quality of drivers and be more expensive to use. It will be perfectly fine for most of the people commenting here.

Who it will destroy is the "riff raff", the people at the lowest rungs of the ladder on both ends. Those who cannot contribute work of sufficient quality to be paid for full time work and benefits. And those who cant afford more expensive ride sharing.

Basically a way to ask people of a certain level to leave the state because they cant participate in the economy anymore and appear compassionate at the same time. Insidiously genius.

I think undervolting is good for the environment to lower the carbon footprint of CPUs. Some never multicore CPUs has TDP of +100W, it would probably be much better if we lowered the voltage and frequency for a small CPU performance hit. Thankful to the developers of the driver!

"The dynamic power consumed by a CPU is approximately proportional to the CPU frequency, and to the square of the CPU voltage:"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_power_dissipation

ps. You can also undervolt, lower frequency of AMD CPUs.
