What keeps Uber competitive is access to a relatively cheap reservoir of labor force. They mediate this process where drivers compete against each other and extract a good rent in the process. The focus should be getting rid of the rent, not the competition.

While I wish these guys all the best and think it's a good paradigm shift, I don't think they will be successful for the same reasons most cooperatives aren't successful: the owner-workers see the business as a means to insulate themselves from market pressures. They stop growing and innovating and simply redistribute the larger than market compensations among each other. If many another drivers are willing to accept a lower pay for the same work, they will simply not accept them in the co-op.
Maybe? You tell me. :)

Do you communicate with them via messages? I guess I am biased because I always think of messages more like Obj-C/Smalltalk style

obj doSomethingWithArgument: arg1 otherArgument: arg2

Vs something more like a protobuf or whatever. I guess as long as a message send in the language looks like a method invocation it's all equivalent.

Some economists / sociologists classify this as low-trust/high-trust societies. In low-trust societies, trust typically does not extend far beyond family and personal connections. There's nothing Islamic about it: low-trust is more or less synonymous with low- to middle income societies, with the majority non-Islamic (China, India, Latin America).

High-trust is largly "Western" (North America, Western/Norhern Europe, Oceania), but also the rich Asian countries (Japan, South Korean, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore). The causal relationship between high-trust and high-income is difficult to disentangle, but there's plausibly some form of positive feedback loop at work.

I'm not sure what you have in mind with "arise for no reason". Both historically and presently by population-majority, low-trust society seem the norm and high-trust the exeption.

I think you've touched on two separate issues. The first is with human interactions with the businesses (firefighters finding the building), the second is dealing with official paperwork and interactions (filing for the license, etc).

The former has various solutions depending on the situation (ex: numbered street addresses, logos, internationalized names, etc).

The later, and one the article is dealing with, is mostly solved by the fact that all business licenses (at least in BC) have a unique "business number" assigned by the city in which you acquire your license. Other than the initial data entry of the name and it being displayed reasonably on forms, any need to identify the business during an interaction can fall back to the business number if the representative does not know how to pronounce, spell or type the name. In fact, I suspect most government employees just type the business number in anyway because it's fast, easy and doesn't involve trying to spell whatever post-modern spelling they used to get an available domain name.
The police will report too as part of their procedures

The British police don't understand any of this, and they will simply arrest whoever's easiest. You are better off going around them.
I had this on my Ubuntu server... The NFS mount died for some reason and the downloading app wrote it all to the local filesystem, filling my SSD to the brink within minutes. By the time I ssh'd in the NFS had remounted, so it took ages to figure out where all that disk space actually was used since all dir scan tools would traverse into the NFS mount again.

It felt like everything was falling apart. As soon as I deleted something another app filled it up in minutes. Even Bash Tab completion breaks... There really should be a 98% disk usage threshold in Linux so that you can at least use all system tools to try and fix it.

> I believe RMS is the only person around that can prevent a full corporate take over of Linux.

FSF and Stallman have no word in the decisions concerning the Linux kernel. Torvalds and Greg Kroah-Hartman, unlike RMS', seem like very pragmatical open source proponents. That's why the kernel has contributions from major companies, contains opaque binary firmware, and when it comes to GPL violations they're using carrots not sticks.

If you mean the Linux ecosystem in general, I still doubt that FSF has an impact outside its immediate proximity (the list of free GNU/Linux distributions).

Personally I find that the pragmatist side is predominant, and outside a small number of developers and users, RMS' stance on free software is not that popular.

Your relative skill and time invested in Julia vs Go makes that a not very fair comparison, I think. A 100x difference in performance is probably a sign of something that could be fixed in your code (common one: type instability). In general, Julia is being used to implement things like competitive versions of BLAS. Your Julia code can almost certainly be made much faster.

Coming from a Python and C++ background, I found it sufficient to just read the docs and do some Advent of Code problems to get productive in Julia. What videos are you talking about? https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/performance-tips/ I found to be a pretty good document on why and when Julia can be slow.

Sadly very very few students from the UK choose to go in Erasmus to other EU countries.
I've been an Erasmus student in Norway, then I've been an organizer in the ESN Erasmus Student Network. Later I've been into 8+ erasmus semesters in different cities though I was a digital nomad and I was not in University anymore.
What I saw as first hand experience is that UK students were always undereppresented. I absolutely don't think was somehow related to the EU grants.
I think either the UK students were not as interested in going to other EU universities and/or the UK provided less funding and advertisement for the Erasmus program.

I believe the lack of UK students in the Erasmus was something terrible and that was either a cause/consequence that lead to the Brexit.

You can find official stastitics here:
https://ec.europa.eu/assets/eac/education/library/statistics...

The countries sending the most Erasmus students in absolute numbers are:
Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Turkey
This is no surprise since those are the larger countries in Europe. The surprise was the missing UK students.

Finally in my experience half of the Erasmus students coming from the UK were either scottish or they were second/third generation british citizens, I suspect that made them somehow more used to travel and multi-cultural setups.

I admire deeply both Alan Turing and Erasmus of Rotterdam.
I'm sad to see the Alan Turing exchange program is somehow a less tolerant replacement for not being able to partecipate in a larger multi-cultural program like Erasmus+

REI is a consumers' cooperative, not a workers' cooperative. The people who work at REI don't own the business, and they would basically have the same role in any other company (which is one of the criticisms of why they're not actually good for labor).

In fact, in a consumers' cooperative would probably be better in this case since you would have more direct control over the business than with a regular corporation.

The reason that this is classified as an Islamic cultural aspect in my mind is the clear differentiation between coexisting societies where I grew up.

The more "eastern" societal clusters have this kind of mentality more prevalent, while the most "western" ones not so much, while both are next to each other and equally poor.

The fact that other cultures share these aspects does not invalidate their presence in Islamic countries in my point of view, and of course I cannot prove that this is the case, the same way that no one can prove that it is not either. Of course I could be wrong

Obviously not.
I agree, inviting debate is a good thing, I'm not convinced though that the lesson _has_ been learned, as you say, hormone treatments, but also and the way identity crises are being handled shows were not quite there yet.

There's also the tangential issue that it's the £50. I haven't seen a £50 in about 20 years. It's hard to spark debate once the talk of the note being issued is over, when the overwhelming majority of the population will never see one.

For the non-brits here; most everyday establishments won't accept £50 notes due to risk of forgery. The £20 is the largest day-to-day use note here, we don't have a £100 either, £50 is the largest.

If you have sexual fantasies about the opposite sex, you're straight. If you have sexual fantasies about the same sex, you are gay. Even if you never had sex with another person, it would still make you gay. If you have sexual fantasies about both, you are bi. If you have sexual fantasies about young kids, you are a pedophile. If you have sexual fantasies about sex with corpses, you are a necrophiliac.

The same doesn't go for acts of violence. You can quickly think "I'm gonna kill this person", but it doesn't make it so. Most people have such a quick thought, which basically makes all of us killers. This is considered normal, because most of us are that way. Most of us do not fantasize about sex with kids or corpses, which makes it abnormal.
If you are asked to learn psychology then what would be you your next steps? You'd have to find resources to start with, and for that you'll have to ask people, search on google, YouTube and what not, until you find the right one.

Georgia in the Caucasus is quite interesting.

The police there were Soviet-style horribly corrupt. And, some years ago, this changed from one day to the next. They fired all the old officers and started with better training and better payment for the new ones. And with punishment for bribery and criminal behavior at duty.

The society decided to do this and it worked very well. I personally experienced encounters with police in Georgia and they were nice and friendly. They helped me instead of robbing me. Very impressive.

As someone who occasionally has a need to use Canadian bank notes, I can tell you I am not looking forward to some day having polymer banknotes with a portrait of Charles on them. I'd rather do away with the ties to the monarchy entirely.

I mean, physical existence of a chopper vs its viability for this specific operation are very different things. Think of it this way: you may have a car, and you may even be familiar with installing and maneuvering a standard size tow. But that doesn't mean that I can just ask you out of the blue to come over and tow a prefab house that you've never handled before, then ask you to do it again a dozen times over (and on the double), and expect everything to go peachy.
> Because you own part of the co-op, and it's value would go up if that research succeeds?

That ownership is contingent on you working for the co-op, which doesn't seem very likely if a robot took your job.

That said, there are a couple ways to work around this:

1. Flip the ownership model to a customer cooperative (or a customer/worker hybrid cooperative), thus moving the decisionmaking - and the incentives as a result - from workers to customers (which can and often do overlap). Customer cooperatives are a proven model here in the US (credit unions are probably the most widely known example).

2. Use automation to multiply labor rather than replace it. Replacing a drivers with cars at a 1:1 ratio obviously doesn't leave much room for drivers, but replacing them at a 1:10 ratio (or somesuch) can mean converting drivers into owner-operators of "squads" of cars. This depends on there being enough of a customer base to warrant this multiplication; for this to work, it's best paired with a massive expansion of that customer base (adding a bunch more cities, for example, or extending service areas, or slashing fares).

This is just a disagreement over basic design: should variable declarations be explicit or not. It is a choice, and something that reasonable people can disagree on.

Framing this as a case of irrational and illogical behaviour is unnecessary and unreasonable in my opinion. A lot of serious thought and debate went into the resolution. There is no need to disrespect and badmouth people because they have different priorities than you.

Might _not_ be obvious since the majority of people did not live in the interim between King George and Queen Elizabeth - and given that monarchs on notes were not a fully realised thing before QEII.

(Only Bank of Scotland did it + a few notes from the Bank of England, so it wasn’t so common and didn’t feel like a tradition)

And that the “British” queen is still queen of Canada although under a separate title meaning a person could be the head monarch of Canada and not head monarch of Britain.

But, to answer the original question: the coins issued under the reign of King George continued to be legal tender until they were phased out naturally, I think the process may have accelerated a bit but for sure there were people using money with King George until 1952.
This article has convinced me. I, too, am now a big fan of the boat being stuck.
The safest path is to consider it a blob. There is some library that can render it magically and that's the only wise thing you can do. The internal structure is hard to understand. Also, definitions change over time. So, you better leave it all to professionals.
Well, in my opinion rate parity agreements should be illegal in the first place, as they foster rent seeking behaviour as opposed to fair competition.

That sounds like you like functional programming with associated functions from OOP and not much else from the GoF book of nightmares.

I mean Erlang is an actual OOP language according to the original creator of OOP's concept of message passing between objects. But each object internally is quite functional.

It's just the Java crowd's deep inheritance enterprise code that makes every developer who survived that want to vomit.
How so? Canada has the same person as Queen as in Britain. I would expect all notes produced post death to have the new Monarchs image.
> I'm sad to see the Alan Turing exchange program is somehow a less tolerant replacement for not being able to partecipate in a larger multi-cultural program like Erasmus+

How can this be true, students from the UK pick places like the US, Australia, Japan, Canada, etc isn't it just filling the need a bit more, how can it be less tolerant if it can be even more expansive than Erasmus is in terms of reach?
When I was studying prior to University, I don’t recall ever being given any information or told that it was even a possibility to enter a scheme like Erasmus & study abroad. It’s a shame.
It's a typo, they meant ~2²¹ instead of 2²¹, because it's 17*2^16, which is more like ~2^20.087.
(And that's not even true either, since a couple values like FFFF are forbidden)
The $20 bill has an image of the Queen, so perhaps they will.

(If you’re unaware, Canada is a constitutional monarchy and the UK monarch happens to be the same person as the Canadian monarch.)
Yes, it probably wouldn’t irreparably sink or something like that. Still, specialized recovery work would take even more time. Not to mention the possibility of containers falling down.

> did not call putFeetInCar before adding driver

> did not call putShoesOnFeet before calling putFeetInCar

That's bad architecture, not an OOP flaw. These should've been private methods called and error-handled properly from driver.prepareForDriving, or even implemented as a DriverPreparedForDriving subtype.

> did not set up HandKeyAllocatorManager or use KeyDashboardMeldConnector to insert key into KeyHoleDoodadInterfaceXConnector

All these sound like bad OOP (or Java) to me, a HandKeyAllocatorManager is not a thing in the domain. I'd rather build my logic around objects like HandsContents, KeyKeyholeCompatibility or SeatedDriver.
Note, only the $20 has the Queen on it. Other banknotes do not.

The emojination website mentions UTC and ESC. UTC in this context certainly means Unicode Technical Committee. And after a bit of Googling it seems that ESC is the Unicode Emoji Subcommittee.

Some of the suggested emojis are marked as UTC rejected, some as ESC rejected or ESC pushback. Does it mean that both UTC and ESC has to approve each suggested emoji?

And is there a place to see the reason for rejection and a place to see what kind of pushback they are receiving?
But the thing is that now the car has to know about the world.
If there's a wall on the driver side how can it open the door?

I'm not dogmatic on OOP vs FP, but let me take the side of FP here, we could model this as the car being a data structure with its position (x, y, etc), and a representation of what opening the door is (width of the car + length of the door, an anonymous function, or a named function, that can be made polymorphic) and now our open_door(car, world) can take both and the world doesn't need to know about what is a car and the car doesn't need to know about the world either, it just serves as a mapping, and the function open_door checks the positions of car in the world, transforms the car according to its procedure and checks it still fits the world and if not it produces an annoying beep.
I think that corruption and economical development being inversely correlated is pretty widely accepted, but of course it doesn't have to be linear and exactly the same in different countries. In general though, the more well off the country is, the less need there is for corruption.
