What you're saying was truer in the '00s when 'scopes, logic analyzers, etc. were professional instruments costing thousands and FPGAs were inaccessible to all but the most dedicated and wealthy hobbyists. Today, with adequate hobbyist-grade instruments and dev boards available in the $100-200 range pretty much anywhere you look, really, the situation for low level engineers and developers is better than it's been for years and, in some ways, even better than the '70s heyday of homebrew computers.

The problem is more the lack of interest. Low level systems development is hard, a computer engineering degree is hella hard, and all the hype and easy money was in following the webdev career path starting from the late '90s dotcom boom.
I had this same experience. Decided to try doordash because I had a $5 coupon in the mail + free delivery on the first order. I was suspicious of pricing so decided to check what the total would be for same order through restaurants site. All of the item prices were inflated on doordash. The $5 coupon + free delivery brought the total down to about the same price if I ordered directly from the restaurant.

I don't like that they inflate prices and will not order directly from them because of it. They should be transparent about how much their service costs rather than hiding the true cost of their service in the item prices. I feel like it's likely their fault and not the restaurants since it seems like every restaurant has inflated doordash prices. My only theory is that they may be charging the business service fees in addition to the service/delivery fees they charge the customer.

They do white label delivery for a fast food restaurant I order from. I've had it take 2 hours to deliver multiple times and even had one order get cancelled by doordash after they couldn't get anyone to pick up the order. Most of that delivery time is made up of it switching between multiple people who they expect to pick up my order. Once someone actually picks up my order it only takes about 5 minutes to get to me.
> I'm sure it has nothing to do with Obama's anti-semitism displayed in so many ways including paying Iran to continue building a nuclear weapon

LMAO this is such a comical line. Let me guess, criticizing zionism is also anti semetic?
It would be faster because the exec takes place for every single result of the find.

Simple xargs builds the longest possible command line with as many find results as can fit.

If the -n option were used with xargs, it might slow down to similar performance as -exec, but it would still be safer.

Multiple processes can also be launched by the xargs, increasing performance by using multiple CPUs.

Here is a script using xargs -0 to launch 6 compression processes at a time on files specified to a shell script:

#!/bin/sh

N_CPUs=6

EXT="xz"

S="$(mktemp -t PARALLEL-XXXXXX)"

printf '#!/bin/sh \n exec xz -9e "$1"' > "$S"

chmod 500 "$S"

if [[ -z "$1" ]]
then echo "Specify files to pack into ${EXT} files."
else for x
do printf '%s\0' "$x"
done | xargs -0 -P "$N_CPUs" -Ifname "$S" fname
fi

rm -f "$S"
Did I say definitely, literally every and could possibly? Notice to what I am replying:

> [..] they are still too hard to setup and nowhere near as user-friendly for most people on an everyday basis.

I think my comment is a fair rebuttal of nowhere near and most. If it was true, all of my family members would have to be outliers, which is statistically improbable. The more credible explanation is that it is not really true (and in my opinion, it clearly isn't).
In this particular case it is. You can’t wear political clothing in a polling place. This law applies to everyone. To indignantly take your shirt off is disrespectful to the people there. It would be the same if it were a man taking his shirt off.

The fact you instantly made it into some sort of anti-feminist or sexist screed sounds paranoid. Are we really this suspicious of each other?

Do you honestly think “no shirt, no shoes, no service” makes for a worse society?
>I wonder, why does the author think they're entitled to wages and benefits beyond what they agreed to?

For the same reason a minimum wage exists.

>But no one is entitled to anything.

Workers are entitled to a minimum wage should they seek/accept a job.
I think you’re missing that Obama’s decency and pragmatism are also emotional appeals to a certain kind of person. Personally it feels like bullshit to me (less bullshitty than Trump but still rings false).

More importantly, Obama’s decency or Trump’s lack thereof are mostly irrelevant to what many people want out of a president. For example, I want Medicare for all, a green new deal, no more drone strikes, nationalized internet, etc. We’re more likely to get those things by being angry, not by being civil.

Correct. Two parties each with their own extreme points, so the middle ground is never reached. The all or nothing nature has cast the system into limbo for decades, unable to decide even the simplest of things.

There are simply too many complex issues for a two party system to be effective addressing them. In countries with more competition and political spectrum, it's easier to find the sensible middle grounds. When opportunists rise, they usually don't remain too long and the sensible part of their agendas get co-opted by other parties.
Instead of penalizing change, why not encourage it? When you work from home, you don't put anywhere near the carbon into the atmosphere that you would commuting. You also spend a lot less on lunch, and you don't need to put your children into state-run schools that are really there to function as daycare centers as much as they are to educate. If all of that office space in downtown areas stays dark, and the zoning laws are altered or removed, it can be redeveloped into housing that's actually affordable. We really are running into a wall on the methane crisis, and we we simply don't have the time to integrate these changes at a slower pace.
Let's focus on changing our regulations that prohibit building neighborhoods for pedestrians. Let's work on getting homes with solar roofs and big batteries. Let's get drone delivery everywhere. Let's electrify the transport system with electric cars, electric trucks, eVTOL aircraft. Let's tunnel underneath and between cities and connect them with hyperloops. Let's connect people in rural areas with low-cost, low-latency satellite internet access.

Doing these things will directly provide a great number of jobs for a great number of people. It will make a great number of new jobs possible. It will improve the natural environment. I think this is a much more positive direction to take than to try to slow things down.
I'm really in the same boat. Grocery delivery is a bit less insane (tip + fee = ~13% premium) because your average order size is bigger (at least for me - I usually do 200ish bucks every 1.5-2.0 weeks). I can stomach a 13% premium for delivery when I have 2-under-2 (years old) and I really don't want any of us to get covid for a variety of reasons (I can't afford (emotionally more than financially) to be down a caretaker and partner right now, can't afford (emotionally) to have either an infant or a toddler to have covid, etc etc).

Doordash is really hard for me to justify, I only use it when given gift cards etc. It can literally double the price of a meal (a $20 mcdonalds order becomes $35-40). Even during covid I still generally do curbside because that feels like a very minimal risk.

Post-covid, I'll probably use instacart/shipt maybe once or twice a year - I'm 100% sure there will be times where for whatever reason I just can't get out and the world will end if we run out of milk for the kids. But when there's not a pandemic on, taking the kids to the grocery store knocks out so many birds with one stone:

* kids get to get used to the grocery store experience

* we get groceries

* my wife gets a break

Was this controlled for social interaction? For young people screens are just the standard fallback when you have nobody to hang out with (although surely not the healthiest one).
Agreed, however your claim that 240v (single phase) power isn't readily available in residential homes is false. Large electric boilers / hvac heaters etc and appliances like washing machines and refrigerators use 240v.

However, it's important to note that for those claiming "oh just use a heat pump" that simply is not an option for high density residences or high rise buildings. Also, the efficiency of heating water with electric heating elements does NOT improve with scale, hence forcing buildings to purchase enormous electric boilers will again, just increase energy consumption AND net carbon emissions. But god knows that in CA, the gov't will just use tax payer money to pay rich developers and building owners to replace multimillion dollar hvac equipment (because "muh environmental impact").
True, there are some tablets that can be used for tasks usually done on a PC. Still there's an unknown percentage of tablets mostly for media consumption in there. So they're lumping together productivity/all-purpose devices with media consumption devices.
>Most Uber drivers, when independently polled, are for Prop 22. It's the unions that were pushing this, so they can collect union dues and grow their revenues.

The $200 million being discussed feels relevant to this claim. Didn't some companies even spread their take to their "employees" through their job apps and other direct communication? I bet even the "blame the union" came from information those companies paid for.

I suppose it depends on how stringent your criteria, but I would consider an Ivy League professor more of a member of the ruling elite than University of Connecticut, which is a perfectly respectable university but not one from which Presidents typically pick their scientific or economic advisors.
>Do you disagree that a job should mean that someone is able to afford rent and pay your bills?

Could we focus down on this question. Ignoring what led to this question being raised, I would like to better capture what is being asked here.

Is the idea that any job should be able to provide for any rent and any bills? I think that is an entirely unreasonable interpretation, but I want to make sure we are in agreement that there are some combinations of jobs, rents, and bills that aren't reasonable to be included.

If we can agree on that point, then how should we determine what pairings of job/rent/bills should be covered and should not? For example, maybe we should say that for any job, there should exist rent within 30 minutes of the job and bills that include X amenities which is affordable working that job. (For the moment let's ignore the complexities of deciding what should be included in X, especially given that people can acquire some very large bills in numerous ways.)

If for the moment we agree to the above standards for jobs, how should part time jobs work? Should it be that any part time job whose total pay when accounting for hours worked dips below the threshold we agreed to shouldn't exist? Say there was a job where working 25 hours was enough to meet the threshold, should we say that it would be illegal for the job to offer 24 hours or less a week (there would be a number of ways to enforce this, potentially having a minimum wage monthly in combination with an hourly minimum wage, but other options exist)?

I'm not trying to disagree with the sentiment. Instead, I want to better understand the details of the sentiment beyond the trivial case (all jobs, all rents, all bills) which has trivial counters, trivial to the extent that bringing them up almost seems like a bad faith strawman.
Yeah, no kidding. My first reaction was, "Has this guy not heard about solar and wind energy?"

I guess so.
Sorry, I included the Acid tests as an example of demonstrating tricky situations—not that this should be implementing the acid tests themselves. So like, what is the equivalent of the Acid tests for drawing libraries?
It still amazes me how companies often underestimate their server capacity at the launch of a new product.

I would think they'd have a backup plan to offload some of of the load to some cloud providers like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
The second half of the article argues that sweeping historical predictions are typically done by former scientists who trend towards reductionism.

Hopefully he's wrong, we're wrong (because technical people love reductionism) and society responds flexibly to the challenges presented to it.
Isn't it more the second part of the statement that is shocking, that is "may identify additional material weaknesses in the future" rather than "we have identified a material weakness".

If so, that cuts the results down from 684 to 205, of which many are from the same company, just at different times.

If you and millions of other people captured, packaged, and transmitted that urine to a central urine clearinghouse (similar to how Google Photos works), then yes. Innocuous activities can easily be made dangerous when those activities are centralized and scaled up to a level involving/affecting hundreds of millions of people.
At the same time it's fair to say that many of the Asian Americans will come from families that arrived with very little and have managed to become successful in the US within a generation or two, through hard work and disciple, no?

The other thing to think about is people are probably just shifting money from eating out, to delivery. I mean you could go to Chili's and spend $50 for two people, or you could get Chipotle delivered for $30.
Just to throw more anecdata in, I've never met a fulltime Uber driver. Most of my drivers are retired people who got bored and wanted some extra cash, like to chat, and wanted to get out of the house. Others have some disability that prevents them from working fulltime. Many are doing it for extra cash, especially around the holidays. Many only selectively drive when there are events that they know will make the rates spike.

I'm sure there are tons of fulltime Uber drivers, especially if you live in a city where cab drivers have made the switch. I live in the suburbs, and I've never met a fulltimer.
Buddy, I understand better than you think I do. Trump played the game no doubt, but I am more interested those who call themselves People's representatives not playing the games..
Anectodal of course, but I can tell from my own experience that sleep cures so many things for me. Also lack of sleep causes many ailments in me.

I am definitely sad and angry when I don't get enough sleep, on top of not having enough energy. If I have a headache, taking a nap or sleeping longer always fixes it for me. If I have aches in my thighs and calves, taking a nap or going to bed early and catching 8+ hours of sleep fixes it right up.
Not really: most people will not be charging on the streets, they will charge at home. Unless you street charger is the same price as charging at home, but then it is free parking.

Note that electric is often cheaper at night. Most free parking spots are empty at night: the cars are at home. Thus same price charging on the street as at home should be looked at as subsidized parking!

Don't get me wrong, it makes sense to have some on-street charging. However people won't normally use it. Most will charge at home for the cheaper rates. What is left is those who can't make it home on the current charge. This is a small minority of all who park even in an all electric car world.

You are right, lead will kill you, psychedelics will not.
I really think we are not competent to manage this, but it is great that we try, kudos to all who make the honest/good effort, and we really can be OK.

Yeah, it almost seems like a compromise would be an hourly line. If you work more than 30 hours, you become an employee but you lose freedom in the hours you choose since you're now in an employee relationship and below 30 hours, you're just a contractor. Some kind of part time tinkerer.
> to get one thing delivered

Obligatory note that many people order more than one thing, and that some people eat things that are more expensive than burritos. The fees to order a single $7 burrito and 5 x $20 meals are similar in absolute $ terms. And of course, many of the popular services have effectively capped delivery fees at ~$10/mo so ordering once weekly brings the delivery fee down to ~$2.50.
Should be: "Fact or Fiction?" -- but the error is in the Smithsonian article itself.
I have personally seen many examples that make me agree with this.

Really, if someone wants to get off the Microsoft/Apple financial/technology/control/they-own-your-technology-and-you-cant-always-make-your-own-decisions treadmill, I think you have to decide that slightly less inconvenience (if that) is worth having greatly increased trust and local control. And Debian (or maybe Devuan) Linux (then installing something like LXDE or XFCE) isn't perfect, but it is very easy to install and manage, IMO, and they have a great track record of stability (compared to others anyway), due to how to they manage security, freedom, and overall stability (for example, what you learn is likely to last a long time w/o having to relearn, relatively few bad surprises, excellent documentation, etc. I like OpenBSD, but if I couldn't, next would probably be Debian or Devuan for more reasons I have posted on HN at other times. Further opinions/links on these at my web site...)

Edit: I installed Debian for my wife and a number of other locals. It was easy. I recommend adding the package that installs automatic updates (as root: aptitude install unattended-upgrades), and setting "umask 0007" in the default profile, and learning a little, can recommend some other things. BUT: my wife (a public school special ed teacher) doesn't know about those things and doesn't have to. People can use it without "learning linux" or having more than 5 min or general orientation, just like they used Windows XP, to do all their browsing, whatever, thousands of free apps available, and then one can grow from there, at one's own pace! :)
Where does he call his opponents his enemies though?
So now it's poor people in America are richer than some poor people in some nations? That seems like a more reasonable assertion, albeit much less meaningful.
That was a really good read, it really explains what has been happening to Apple in its post-Jobs life.
This guy makes the glaring mistake that we will fit ourselves to technology, it is very much the other way around.
It doesn't have to be any more work than you're already doing. Just stop putting cycles into working around bad decisions by people who are trying to control you and put those very same cycles into working around bad decisions by people who are trying to help you.

Yes. It's like finding a security vulnerability without any evidence it was exploited.

Just because an AP clerk could embezzle money that way, doesn't mean that they've identified evidence of that happening. But now they've reported that lapse in financial controls (which may or may not have been addressed), and warned that there may be others.

I drove a cab for a summer after college, just before uber blew up.

The lease for the cab was high enough ($600+/wk) that I had to drive ~30 hours to break even, and the rest was profit, usually another 20 hours over the weekend.

Unless you were sharing a lease with another driver, it would've been impossible to work it as part time.

So I would see a benefit to uber over that arrangement except for uber if your car breaks you're out of luck. With a cab, i'd take it to the shop and get another one. Granted they were all pretty beat up crown vics.

The real winners were the owners of the cab company. Like you said, they held the medallions and thus most of the leverage.
> It shows a real lack of perspective to not be able to separate political opponents from utter enemies.

OK, this looks like a pretty substantial improvement.

There are more wave forms, better control over the wave forms, effects, etc. I think these features were lacking in beepbox and, though I haven't played around with Jummbus, it looks like you might be able to create much more sophisticated and "professional" sounding tunes with Jummbox than in beepbox.

Awesome stuff!
Location dependent? I was in NY a couple of years ago, and used Uber a lot. Every single driver was part time. Not long after I visited Las Vegas, and about 3/4 of the drivers were full time or near-full time.

Then again this is a while ago so maybe things have shifted with time.
They won't be able to build a disruptive startup or a modest lifestyle business anymore without having to pay upfront and play by the rules of big tech. But nobody will be so they won't feel that something was taken away from them.
