I disagree with this law, like I've disagreed with many laws before it: the creation of a specific law implies that what came before was not fraud. It was fraud. Prosecute it as such.

Offering to courrier food from place A to B, including ordering the food from place A, should not be illegal. Pretending to be A to engage in that business is fraud, because you pretended to be A. It's that simple. This law is a giveaway to the companies that have already engaged in fraud.

What do you mean? In this case small businesses were being abused by delivery apps. Once these apps captured the customers of the small business, they converted the customers to their alternative offering restaurant. This is a good piece of legislature unless I am missing something.
For newer PoS protocols, they would need over 66% and they would lose money if they misbehaved making it likely uneconomical to do so. This is the big advantage of PoS over PoW. There are both positive incentives (e.g. block rewards) but also negative ones (e.g. getting slashed for trying to stage a double spend attack).
The issue here isn't "did delivery apps sometimes impersonate restaurants" (which is why you think this law is redundant), but rather "does this law ban things other than impersonation" (yes, and hence why others are saying a violation of the law need not constitute impersonation).

Well, it should be clear that the restaurant has nothing to do with the delivery service.

You shouldn't be able to exploit the restaurant brand, logo and reputation without their consent, otherwise they wouldn't have any mean to protect themselves from bad reviews that would damage their image even in other platforms.
On the one hand the law seems overly broad, on the other there was apparently no way for restaurant owners to protect their names against bad third party delivery services.
The linked bill says

> A food delivery platform shall not arrange for the delivery of an order from a food facility without first obtaining an agreement with the food facility expressly authorizing the food delivery platform to take orders and deliver meals prepared by the food facility.

Nothing there is talking about apps or listings.
The problem is that if food isn't handled correctly it makes people sick. This law is about food safety.
It's not terribly difficult to put together the arrangements with businesses who are amenable. DD and friends are just annoyed they'll have to do some minor business relations work instead of drawing value out of a business and then palming customer support off to them, while they never knew they were ever part of the transaction in the first place.

It puts the restaurants back in a position of control over their own business operations, I think that's fine. If you want to work with the business to draw value from them, you'll have to arrange it. People are looking at this like it's the customer versus the restaurants, it's not, it's about mediating the relationship between two commercial operations and the vast majority of law is about just that kind of thing.
I don’t claim OP is a bot but you advise would not work if he/she is. The problem with bots is you cannot refute all the nonsense they generate. They are not interested in arguing with you, their job is to generate as much contradictory claims as possible so everybody reading the thread will be lost and confused. I’ve been watching this behavior in Russia for quite some time.
They've been known to go as far as buying domains for the restaurants and hosting the menus on them, basically inserting themselves as a middleman, then threatening the restaurant with consequences if they don't pay up for the favour.

This might be accompanied by the service taking their cut out of every meal ordered through the site, forcing the restaurant to lose money on the orders.

That's not just listing, it's a racket.

GrubHub was caught doing this, I believe.
1. Remote work is here to stay. Because covid vaccines will fail to reach herd immunity. Because the mRNA vaccines are too complicated to manufacture and deploy.

2. China will eradicate the virus within their borders, because their vaccine is easier to manufacture and deploy. And is probably safer, since it uses the traditional inactivated virus technique. So less side effects for most people.

3. Housings prices will continue increasing. Further separating the haves vs. the have-nots.

4. QE infinity is here to stay. Low interest rates will continue to push up asset prices for stocks and housing.

5. The virus will continue to ravage America for the next 5 years. Then the mutations will come.

6. Lots of houses will be foreclosed on, but wealthy companies and investors will swoop them up for pennies on the dollar.

7. American politicians will continue to be absolutely clueless, as to how their decisions and indecisions, will further ravage the fabric of society.

Regarding coercion, we can again ask Xinhua: http://www.xinhuanet.com/politics/2019-03/18/c_1124247196.ht...

入教培中心的学员有三方面人员：一是被教唆、胁迫、引诱参与恐怖活动、极端主义活动，或者参与恐怖活动、极端主义活动情节轻微，尚不构成犯罪的人员。二是被教唆、胁迫、引诱参与恐怖活动、极端主义活动，或者参与恐怖活动、极端主义活动，有现实危险性，尚未造成实际危害后果，主观恶性不深，能够认罪悔过，依法可以免除刑罚，自愿接受培训的人员。三是因暴力恐怖、极端主义犯罪被定罪处刑，刑满释放前经评估仍有社会危险性，人民法院依法决定在刑满释放后进行安置教育的人员。

There are three kinds of people sent to education centers: The first are those who have been instigated, forced or lured to participate or who did participate in terrorist or extremist activities, of such slight degree that it does not yet constitute a crime. The second are those who have been instigated, forced or lured to participate or who did participate in terrorist or extremist activities, posing a realistic danger, but not yet causing actual damage, subjectively not deeply evil, pleading guilty and repenting; who, according to law, can be exempted from punishment if they agree to undergo training. The third are those who have been convicted and sentenced for violent terrorism or extremist offenses and who, before their release from prison, are judged to still pose a danger to society, such that a People's Court decides according to law that they should be placed in education.

Which of those three groups is not being coerced?
There’s definitely a network effect. I had a post of mine do well on here which lead to a ton of mentions on Twitter and LinkedIn. There was probably more going on but I don’t run analytics on the site so can only make educated guesses as to where stuff was being shared.

I lived in a house with asbestos-cement roof, and an apartment with asbestos-cement drywall when I was living in Russia.

Didn't die, or anything, just as much as nearly all ex-USSR states population. That stuff was everywhere there.

I believe the stuff is largely benign depending on asbestos having larger fiber sizes, and being weathered, or painted over.
Men worked in groups too. Group cooperation was crucial in low tech hunting and aggriculture and house building and anything. Or simply, to keep it usa, try to hunt for bison alone without horse. So if your theory puts emphasis on female cooperation and ignores male cooperation it is already suspect.

Low tech and behind-time rural villages are big on gender roles. But child rasing is only one of things women do and did. They used to spend awful lot of time by producing things - making threads out of flax (flower) or wool, then material then sewing. They tended animals too, made candles and so on and so forth. Kids contributed from early age.

Theory that limits female contribution to childcare is likely projecting 1950 middle class roles onto past. Just mere ability to sustain adult and teenage humans who are not contributing to actual essentials production assumes basically wealth. It was not even affordable for most population.
I think you misunderstood my reply: I don't think the law is forbidding someone making an order on your behalf and picking it up for you. I doubt it will affect normal courier services.

What I believe the law is forbidding is the lack of transparency, the false listing of phone numbers and taking orders on behalf of someone else.

EDIT: Btw, I'm not downvoting you as I can't downvote replies. I have upvoted to counter it.
That wording leaves room for personally arranged general couriers in my opinion, but that would end up getting defined in court at some point down the road.
Made me want to find some promo videos for Roundup aka glyphosate and I found this gem:

https://youtu.be/EnxnYIAPa10

There is some debate as to whether or not glyphosate presents a direct cancer risk, but certainly the more I learn about regenerative farming, biocides like this seem to cause more harm than good. Really I’m talking about the mass use of glyphosate in farming - the uses in this linked video aren’t that bad - but the confident and carefree voice over reminded me of the asbestos video.

Anyway in another 50 years time we may look back on videos like this the same way we look at the asbestos video.

This isn't meant to be a defense of Nintendo (I don't really care about game studio fandom), but Japan itself has some way to go when it comes to their cultural attitude to work.

That said, companies like Nintendo bucking the salaryman trend would do a lot to help shift people's perspective towards a healthier work/life balance.
That makes more sense than someone just offering a free delivery.

Basically - yes. There's now enough CPU to do this.

But there's more to that analog sound. The opamps and the rest of the circuitry, including supposedly passive elements like resistors and capacitors, all add tiny amounts of distortion and other parasitic interaction with the rest of the synth which varies with frequency content, level, and dynamics.

Human ears are incredibly sensitive to these variations, and the circuits in 70s and 80s synths had a lot of components, all adding their own colour. Which is why if you A/B the hardware with the software, the software rarely wins.

In DSP terms there are differences between functional/abstract models, component-level models, and component-level models that include these complications and imperfections. There hasn't been a lot of work done on the latter, and if they were modelled accurately they would likely need an order of magnitude more DSP cycles than current VSTs.
Unfortunately, the usefulness of solar is limited by our energy storage capabilities. Water is one of the best ways of fixing this (either to supplement solar, like running a hydro dam on a cloudy day, or as a direct storage system, where excess electricity is used to pump water uphill so that the potential energy can be harvested later)

Using a search engine requires skill. Asking a good question does as well. The saying is, "the most stupid question is the one you haven't asked". However it omits one should put in effort to do their own research. That effort is somewhat arbitrary. It doesn't equal using Google (I generally don't even use Google search engine), nor does it require success in using Google. A good basis is the ability to do research; I believe the emphasis should lie there. And it needs to be taught before university (which is 18+ age).

This is pretty cool. Nice print, and the stylus holder is a nice 'touch' :-) What did you print on/with and how long did it take ?

I find smaller keyboards (tkls, 65%, etc) pull my arms in too much for comfort. I'm looking towards a Dactyl Manuform (split keyboard) / Trackball hybrid. Unfortunately, test prints take about 10+ hours for PLA on my Artillery Sidewinder. Makes for slow going :-P

Grats on a really nice looking project!
Well, cligen is pretty mature/featureful, less work to use and well maintained and is the most common recommendation in Nim. If you happen to like more verbosely specified CLI interfaces like Python's argparse there are at least two pretty close to the Python argparse -- therapist [1] and nim-argparse [2]. There is much more to any programming language than its stdlib. { If you find these insufficiently "drop-in compatible", well, you can write your own port of argparse.py that is closer. :-) That is probably a good exercise. }

I admit that I have yet to reconcile my own somewhat conflicted feelings about these recent bills (e.g. the one voted on in Nov 2020 about drivers as contractors, versus this one).

For example, I'm in favor of regulating tech companies from misrepresenting restaurant menus as their own, and extracting a hefty margin off restaurants' barely-surviving profits by merely being a middleman aggregator. Yet on the other hand, I don't think that tech companies are improperly classifying delivery people's labor as contract work and need to be stopped.

Maybe it's that the first is an involuntary participation without someone's agreement, while the 2nd is someone agreeing to work under given conditions?

My opinions are evolving still.

Being deeply rooted in financial system payment processors often compete not with service quality but with how they can deal with various stupid or intentional government requirements and restrictions. Bitcoin and crypto is an ultimate alternative which (I hope) triggering change in this industry.
Yea, I do wonder if this will shut the door on any future high growth independent startups in the space to be created locally.

DoorDash started their business doing exactly this in Palo Alto, and likely wouldn’t have been able to raise the funds or grow at the pace they did without this strategy.

On one hand, you could say good, these sorts of businesses are exploitative. But I’m not sure that the industry is a net negative as a whole, and this law could shut the door on a more sustainable model.
I took on the counterparty risk. To be honest, the sellers I've dealt with with the last few years have turned out to have head-and-shoulders better customer service than their intermediaries like PayPal etc. I think escrow (and other risk mitigation techniques, e.g. reputational ratings) are definitely opportunities for enhancing the crypto ecosystem.

Long term I suspect some sort of arbitration mechanism may play a role in crypto realizing its full potential (law and commerce are deeply intertwined, and the proliferation of hacks suggest a potential thirst for more effective justice) but I don't yet know what that would look like and many hard core enthusiasts would balk at the suggestion.
Apple has never "made" anything that others haven't perfected first. So, even if someone came with a non-invasive glucose monitor, it won't be Apple. If someone does come out and it works well and if multiple companies copy it... we may see it on Apple watch around 2025 or later.

This is an industry operating outside the scope of what restaurants have ever offered. Once delivery companies began making a lot of money with courier services, people created a story of exploitation and market manipulation. The reality, however, is that food service providers want in on the action: the bill gives providers bargaining chips to negotiate getting a cut for services that they never offered before. A consequence to this change is that while the restaurants do not face losses due to courier services, the courier services will lose as a result of the bill. Courier services now have a legitimate claim against the state and restaurants. It's time to go to the Supreme Court.
Now that's what I call making dough!
I used to think that until Covid came along. I've never hidden so many threads so quickly.
Exactly my thoughts. The article is all pseudoscientific hogwash.

I skimmed through to understand what it's about or at least to know what a "prompt"/"spaced repetition" is. I still don't know, but I bet it's something very trivial.
The delivery platform represents a business relationship with a restaurant that doesn't exist, and uses it to pull value out of the services the restaurants offer. As a business you get to choose which other businesses you work with, and on what terms. In this case they haven't given the restaurant the opportunity to negotiate terms.

It's new ground sure, but I think it's pretty clear that the delivery platform is a service provider to the restaurant and as such the restaurant should have some negotiating power. What if they want a cut of the delivery fee, or guaranteed delivery windows for their customers? Probably wouldn't get it, but that's a negotiation they should be able to have.
I cannot speak for the user you replied to, but to answer this question:

> Do you only have a single thread of tasks you're doing at any given time on your machine, all of whose resources are torn down and rebuilt from scratch when needed?

Yes, absolutely, at least when it comes to my web browser.

I run Firefox Nightly and intentionally use its prompt to restart for an update as a prompt to consider whether I should close the things I have open. I'll sometimes ignore the update for a few hours, but not usually longer than that.

If I need to retain some information over a period of more than a few hours, I'll transfer it to a note-taking app or something similar. Habitually not keeping a large number of tabs open helps me maintain focus to some extent, and deliberating over whether to close a tab or window presents and opportunity to think about extracting a snippet for storage elsewhere.

To me the idea of keeping an entire webpage open as a method of storing what is likely a very small subset of what it contains just doesn't seem "right", regardless of actual resource consumption on the computer I'm using.
Can you post links to either the HN threads or color theory sites that you feel are reinforcing the flawed conclusions?
I think key question here would be definition of "food delivery platform". Generic courier service or personal assistant or even taxi driver is likely not to qualify under such title.
Nobody has forced them to release it, so until then they get to keep some magic to themselves, presumably.

The way I see it, we haven't worked had on energy storage capabilities. We optimized for cellphones and Laptops, and these cover most of your day or more now. For homes, the market is still no that big, because batteries are expensive and electricity is widely available.

As we move to solar, electricity will become very cheap in the day and very expensive at night. This will create the required capital to create storage solutions in houses and factories. Also you don't need a portable battery when installing it at home, so I think the cost could be reasonable.
