Serious question. From what I read deliveroo is the same as door dash, would the concerns expressed on this article apply to dordash stock too?
So far all the courts in the Netherlands have done the same for deliveroo employees (no longer gig workers). They keep appealing and losing so we have to wait another year or so for the final verdict.
Metalab is a software/design development agency. 37Signals (now Basecamp) started as the same kind of agency.
One could always establish a minimum-living income that was immune to fines based on ratio of income, or consider specific expenditures to be protected from the calculation (e.g. rent or cost of travel to work). However, I can see how that could eventually lead to the truism becoming "If the penalty for a crime is an income-ratio fine, then that law only exists for the middle class, and not for the lower or upper class" which would be... interesting.

You can't expect filesystem to behave consistently across filesystem and media types because these exist to solve different issues and involve different design decisions.

The same thing goes for out of memory handling: no size fits all. The kind of handling strategy you need depends on the kind of system you build.

Exactly this kind of flexibility and lack of unification is what made Linux so ubiquitous.
I'm desperate to know whether it is or not. Mind sharing how you reached that conclusion?
Thank you, that was exactly the point that I was missing!

I was only looking at the communication between front end back end which i both own. Thanks to you, I now understand my wrong way of thinking.

Would you consider this way of explaining it as correct:
If I look at it from another perspective it is pretty much like the normal oauth use case. By trusting Auth0/Okta I share my users and the backend access with them.
Since the frontend is 3rd party to Auth0, it is like the normal use case: They provide a application(my frontend) the permission to get access to "their" users data and to commit actions on behalfe of "their" users.

To be honest: Secretly I was hoping for you to answer, as I know that you are activ on HN ;). Your articles are under the best ressources I found on this topic. I espescially like your 2part series on session management!Thanks for your work for the community! I also looked into SuperTokens and find it very promising as I believe that it is extremly important to adress the problem of token theft. In the future that will be crucial as other attacks get less promising due to more secure websites.

I am still a student and I am currently working on my thesis. My target is to create a full-stack data management plattform for the company I writing my thesis at. (I do this completly on my own.) The plattform will be accessed over a SPA.
As you can probably imagine that is a not a easy task without having done something of this size before.
I want to do it right from the ground of. I want the plattform to be scalable, maintainable and secure.
I already read tons of articles, books etc. But I am still looking to improve my knowledge to make no mistakes that i realize while Implementing the plattform.

On the same time, I have to look into ways to outsource work where it is possible. Otherwise I don't think I am able to deliver in time. My application requires User management, and role dependend authorization as well. How big do you consider the overhead of using Supertokens and implementing the user management on my own, to just using Auth0/Okta? I really love the additional security that SuperTokens provides. But If I am unable to deliver in time, thats pretty much worth nothing.

Excuse my many questions please. You have my understanding if you do not have the time to deliver this kind of support on HN.
To me and hundreds of millions of others who live in actually safe places (and yes, with accurate statistics), it is mind-boggling that we would have to think about and avoid "specific cities or areas within larger cities". That's not normal. That's not '"very high" safety levels'.

If you want to improve, then you first have to admit to the problem and not make excuses.
You can also look at some examples of people from ~2000 years ago, in Greece. For example:

Plato: 80
Archimedes: 75
Marcus Aurelius: 58
Ptolemy: 84
Aristotle: 62
Socrates: 71
Seneca: 92
Epicurus: 71

These names are out of the top of my head, ages checked on Wikipedia - seems to be quite in line with the average life expectancy today.

Certainly a bold move. After first restricting it to only younger people because of a lack of study data, then reversing that and now another restriction with the opposite effect.

But as the agency said, while the move might damage the image of Covid vaccinations for some people, they acted on the data available to them at all times. Better that way than not updating guidelines for political reasons.
That's my problem, I expect the climate shaming approach is (1) a total waste of effort, (2) does not hurt the heavy polluters and (3) does not consider hidden pollution (plastic straws vs flowers or meat).

So far we can rather assume only the Italian manufacturer botched it. We see not much other evidence.

The British and Swedish batches had not much problems, and the Italians so far 2 major ones. First a changed component which caused the dosis debacle. The whole italian batch was measured to contain the double dosis, so they asked for special permission during the tests to apply only half the dosis. Which turned out to have an 95% effectiveness, compared to 65% with the full dosis.

And then they found 30 million packages hidden in the Italian factory. We don't know if they wanted to sell it non EU countries (most likely), but why? Either for profit, or for less risk, because only the EU requires liability. So if they really had bad batches from Italy, I would try to hide them and sell them elsewhere, without liability.

The third debacle is the German government and the EMA, who continue to act completely irrational. Nobody trusts them anymore, which is counterproductive, with an assumed Factor-V-Leiden risk with women <55 (in 5% of all women in D), but now they cancelled it even for men, and before canceled it for local doctors, which makes even less sense. The local doctors are totally pissed now.
Just for accuracy, they were actually recognised as "workers"[0], which is a different formal employment status to "employees"[1] and doesn't confer the full set of employment rights in law. Worker status does come with the rights to minimum wages, breaks and holiday pay, though, so it's still a reasonable concern that if/when Deliveroo riders are granted the same status it will increase the company's operating costs considerably.

Except that it is simply not true - the world is not that simple.

There are several incentives at play for a doctor.

Obviously there are different fields, and dental is slightly weird compared to the others, but first of all, doctors are trained to help and learn cures.

A doctor that keeps you sick instead of healthy is quickly out of a job (or out of patients, if you prefer). There are other doctors you know, and there is word-of-mouth, and ratings etc. There is no world-wide conspiracy of dental workers to keep you from getting a specific cure. Aka: Game Theory.

And an easy way to get rid of this would be if the doctors would be paid to keep you healthy:

So you pay as long as you are healthy, e.g. a valuable work-force. Hmmm, I wonder if you could just use income tax to fuel this...? Oh, we just invented universal health care, didn't we?
Nice. I suppose mounting the output as a virtual camera isn't supported yet?

Citation needed. Having worked as a deliveroo cyclist during my masters, I can assure you that it's a community composed of desperate people (often undocumented). Rather than happy liberated workers. I wonder what your own experience of working for a below minimum wage gig economy company was like?
> Okay, I can see that point, but is it worth the additional latency between broker and Bookie?

It might depend on what you're ingesting and how much. Being able to independently scale ingest and storage is a good alternative to have. It's not only ingest though. It's also consumption. As it stands, having a parallel consumer over a large partition spanning several GBs also requires tons of RAM because a segment must be loaded into memory. In that sense, reprocessing historical data is pretty difficult. There's a lot of complexity hidden in additional Druid, HDFS installations or shoe-horned object storage with their own indexing to support access to historical data semi-fast.
I agree - but I'm not sure it's Deliveroo.

In UK at least, they're seen as the 'premium' food delivery option (mainly restaurants, rather than takeaways) - and that's good. What's not so good, is that brand aside, I'm not sure what makes them unique. Speaking to their riders (and Uber drivers) their workforce isn't particularly loyal and have a few different phones for the few different gig-companies they work for. Somebody comes along and offers them more money (say a company that doesn't have to provide a return to investors) and their riders will vanish from the streets overnight - and everybody will seamlessly switch.

Deliveroo will be the Yahoo of food delivery.
> I don't really care how and why those two companies got their monopoly, that's beside the point.

How do you expect to beat Apple or even an argument on the internet, let alone with Congress, if you’re not even willing to learn from your (so called) competitors?
With the App Store, Apple’s really brought this problem upon themselves whether they agree with what they are told to do or not. Any sort of centralized distribution mechanism is always going to be the first thing an authoritarian government targets when trying to take down content they don’t like. On iPhone it’s even worse because the App Store is not only a centralized distribution mechanism but the only distribution mechanism. If you want something gone, you can just force Apple and that’s that for iPhone.
I'd say running something on boot tends to be similar for beginners with or without systemd. The support for drop-in configs, however, makes it easy to revert screw-ups without much effort. In addition, the fact that one does not have to write any bash to change the way a service is started is a godsend. Ini-files aren't perfect, I get that, but from the point of view of a beginner they're both easier to grok and modify as compared to bash scripts.
In the UK at least, Deliveroo is almost everywhere, and Uber Eats is more or less only in cities where Uber is a licensed minicab - which is most major metro areas, but not smaller towns and so on.

From that alone, I'd guess Deliveroo is by far the bigger player in this market, but Uber Eats possibly has a wider international market?

In a previous job my team had to do a lot of ML work with a team full of gatekeepers. I was surprised how easy it was to understand the work even though we were ML newbies - we even implemented some simpler ML algorithms ourselves (long story) which wasn't too hard.

When talking to the PhD boss of the gatekeeper group, he told me that in practice a lot of practical ML work is done with a handful of algorithms and most of what he learned on his PhD is not useful in the industry. And a lot of complexity now sits behind tools (what TFA says).

He was suggesting that, in most applications, a ML expert could be useful as a consultant for a brief period early in the project, but 1) the amateurs wouldn't do too bad by picking algorithms themselves and using the tools for tuning after some study of the fundamentals and 2) in case an expert is consulted, the rest of the team can just run with their suggestions for 90%+ of the duration of the project.
Even then, you only see the type signature when you are initializing the variable, not every time you use it.

If you really want to see type signatures everywhere, you should use something like Hungarian notation which embed type information in the name. And you should disallow method chaining and having methods or properties as parts of expressions.

But I would recommend just using an IDE instead.
We also have to keep in mind that a lot of others would have died of unnatural causes like war. Scholars might be a good idea about how much of age expectancy is due to lifestyle compared with improvements in medicine.
1. DoorDash, GrubHub, Uber, are all massive money losing business, and all lost money last year. In fact, all of the share econ companies are massive money losers, this includes Lyft, AirBnB, and a whole bunch of others I've missed in Europe and Asia. Investors invest in them expecting growth, not dividends at IPOs.

2. You might have a very different definition of asset than everyone else's. Please explain.

3. The barrier to entry? Absolutely massive initial capital requirement.

4. Yes, just like every other sharing econ companies, unless you are operating exclusively out of California.
as I get older I struggle to see the magic and joy of something new because nothing really is new anymore and just a variation of something previously experienced. Perhaps the Internet has changed for the worse idk it's impossible to measure since I have also changed too much to be able to gauge this properly myself.

I do know that my own and others expectation of Tech (from the mid 90ies) was just another utopia and I resent myself for drinking the Kool-aid, and hate myself for having gotten a job in Tech and playing my tiny part in being an ambassador for this type of future among the small group of people I had influence over (family, friends etc who all wished they did the same seeing my salary and lifestyle with much envy). I was so convinced of science and Tech being the answer to all problems we create that I thought teaching my kids to use Tech is a good use of time. But today I can't bring back time and I hate myself for it because I could have gone for a walk with them in the woods and created real memories instead.

another thing that hits me as I get old is it's becoming harder to make new connections IRL. I see my old friends having given up on life by refusing to get out of a stuck marriage, getting fat and lazy, having lost their confidence and ability and interest to do anything new, and the best I can get from them is a statement about what's cool on Netflix these days.

Then I look at myself and realize that I'm as much a slave to the algorithm as them even I do everything to not be part of this. There simply is no escape[1]. I gave up all social media years ago (except HN) and spend at least 2-3 hours outside every day. And my hate shifts from "Tech in general" to myself because I know there is no way out. Perhaps people like David Foster Wallace and others who are no longer with us have seen it coming years ago, and knew there are only 2 options: a) avoid others and be happy with just myself or b) off myself. I'm doing an OK job (I think) managing a) but I can't claim that I'm not looking forward to the day I snuff it either. It feels like the only thing that is worse than dealing with my own judgement and myself is dealing with the judgement or opinions of others (see the idea of "Hell is other people" from "No Exit")

>There's no reason to believe that intelligence is a quantity that can be improved ad infinitum ala singularity

There are reasons to believe the opposite, that there's a limit. Not just practical technological limitations (e.g. limits to CPU process, speed, power consumption, etc) but also absolute limits for information processing under certain physical constraints (in the Shannon sense).
This comment piqued my interest, but I don't think it's as bad as you think it is? (In the sense that any trivial usage of carbon is "bad", sure, but in relative terms this... is way less of an impact than, say, the airlines deadheading flights in the UK to not lose their gate slips for the hell of it, for instance.)

>>>The Falcon 9 rocket runs on fossil fuels, namely Rocket Propellant 1 or RP-1, which is highly refined kerosene.

>>>Each launch burns 29,600 gallons or 112,184 Kilograms, with each Kg of fuel releasing 3 Kg of CO2, so each launch releases 336,552 Kg of CO2.

>>>A flight from London to New York City has a carbon footprint of 986 Kg, so a SpaceX launch is the equivalent of flying 341 people across the Atlantic (Jacob calculated 395). It sounds terrible, until you realize that that is about the number of people that fit into one 777-300, which can carry 45,220 gallons of fuel. So overall, one transatlantic flight of a 777 is considerably worse than a flight of the Falcon, and they do this hundreds of times a day. [1]

> Uber drivers need to be allowed to set their own prices

Yikes this seems terrible for the drivers. There would be a race to the bottom surely with the most desperate drivers who perhaps just need to make a mortgage payment today undercutting everyone else.
Great work contributing upstream
All these business seem to be barely profitable only if they bypass the regulatory costs other equivalent business have to take.

Example, if Airbnb had the same fire regulations as hotels or paid the same tourism tax to city councils the price difference would likely dissapear.

If Uber had to garantee vehicle maintenance, mandatory driving breaks, insurance etc. The ride price difference would likely get eaten away.

> TBH I expected it to be otherwise.

That's because this is always presented in a certain (negative) way in the media so that people have come to believe that all Deliveroo riders or Uber drivers are unhappy.

Of course the reality is a bit different, not least in a country like France that has high structural unemployment (and a very closed taxi industry). The 'gig economy' has no doubt allowed people to get work, and in a rather empowering way.
When I order with Just Eat the food is generally delivered by a driver employed/paid directly by the restaurant.
When I order with Deliveroo the food is generally delivered by a driver employed/paid by Deliveroo.

(There do seem to be exceptions to the above for some restaurants)

Some of the current debate touches on the commission that gets charged which I guess is similar for the two, however much seems to be about treatment of the delivery drivers which would be more of a difference if Just East don't (usually/always?) employ/pay them directly.
