You did a good job describing constraints Uber has in order to deliver a product to customers. From your description there might be good reasons for those constraints such as anti discrimination or price stability. But even for "good reasons" it doesn't absolve Uber of liability for treating employees as contractors.
If you’re installing from a binary cache, that’s true, but a nix expression is just a build specification: it can run any program available to build and install a package. The “normal” way this works is you install the software to $out and $out gets copied into the nix store, but a malicious nix package can bypass this (and, assuming you’re not using nix’s sandboxing mechanisms, do arbitrary things to your computer).
These are reasonable theories as well. Though the second one would really have to be "SARS-CoV2 has more fomite spread than flu" to explain the observations.

In general though, any sort of explanation that focuses on differences in transmission is more plausible than hand-wavy theories involving R0 and masks. People just desperately want to find evidence that the stuff we did this year made a huge difference.
No, the US has a large number of CCS combo 1 chargers. Its just that most are only 60kw or less, and will only do about 45kw on most cars due to amperage limitations.

The big exception is Electrify America, which has about 600 sites now. Its good enough for many right now, though it isn't as deep or reliable as the Tesla Supercharger network.
Totally agree, it’s not an ideal situation for the contractor or the government. The question is more whether the government (or your employer as a proxy) should play a protectionist role and handle the withholding for you, or if that should be your responsibility as a contractor.

Speaking from personal experience, it’s much easier said than done. When your rent is due this month, taxes are due next year, and you’ve only got enough for rent... you aren’t gonna withhold 30%. It’s not because you don’t want to, but because you just don’t have the money. Call it poor financial management or whatever you want, but the reality is that lots of people get into this situation. Yet I doubt many of them would blame their clients (or Uber) for the problems. Most would say the government demands too much tax, or they can’t find enough work.

Personally I would be in favor of a $30k annual basic income and eliminating all taxes on up to $100k in earnings. It will never happen, but it would be one of the best things to happen to society in a long time.
I don't see the university here is a real issue. Sting research is always uncommon, naturally it won't happen in many years (or ever). It's not like if you don't ban UMN, someone else from their CS department will do another sting on the Linux kernel...

> and the small difference in R0 is crude thinking.

Given the reproduction number appears as the base of an exponent, I would not consider the difference "small."

If influenza has a typical R0 of about 2, reducing contacts by 50% would make its growth non-exponential. If covid has a typical R0 of about 2.5, doing the same would require a further 20% reduction of contacts, to 40% of baseline rather than 50%. Since population behaviour and legal restrictions have diminishing returns (eliminating casual contacts first at lower cost, then progressively higher-cost and more essential contacts), this could easily correspond to a large difference in effected (necessary) policy.

> Second, R0 is an estimated value. There are big error bars on all of these estimates -- the overlap is far greater than the 0.5 you're using to claim causality.

I have seen no credible evidence that typical (non-pandemic) influenza has an R0 greater than that of SARS-CoV-2. If you have a citation handy to the contrary, I'd be interested in seeing it. In the meantime, I tried to be generous in my estimation of influenza's R0; even your reference [2] places its central estimate at 1.68.

> Third, rhinovirus has not gone away (estimated R0 < 2). Nor has adenovirus (estimated R0 ~2.3) [1,2]

Rhinovirus and adenovirus both have mean-estimate R0 greater than that of influenza in your reference [2], so if policy is going to eliminate any of these disease from general circulation then influenza would be the first.

Furthermore, some analysis does show limited evidence of a reduction of rhinovirus cases (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03519-3). A confounding factor here, however, is that we don't really have comprehensive like-against-like monitoring for rhinovirus in the way developed nations monitor for influenza. Adenoviruses as a broad category are also not limited to respiratory transmission, so air-focused restrictions would have less effect on these other routes.

Finally, I reiterate that flu has a pronounced seasonal variation, whereas rhinovirus is somewhat less variable. A set of social responses only needs to prevent the flu season from starting to make it "disappear."

This is not a great example because WWE wrestlers should also be employees and not independent contractors.

There's the John Oliver's video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8UQ4O7UiDs

And also a journal article in response to the video

Which concludes,

"But in the end, the totality of the evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of wrestlers being more
accurately classified as employees."
That's precisely what it is. Homotopy/Category theory is strongly-normalising.

Which is roughly what the Univalence axiom tells us: identity is equivalent to equivalence.

The identity type is the normal/canonical/unique form for all object of a particular type.

Yet another perspective is the question "Do A and B have the same structure? Are they isomorphic?". When you are dealing with finite data types the answer to such questions is inevitably in the domain of Finite Model Theory ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_model_theory ). Finite categories are the same sort objects as DB schemas.

In short :

> NASA engineers are assessing the data, since it's not yet clear what caused the failure. One potential cause is a software issue that first showed up during a high-speed spin test ahead of the chopper's first flight. That test failed because Ingenuity's flight computer was unable to transition from "pre-flight" to "flight" mode. Within a few days, though, NASA engineers resolved the issue with a quick software rewrite.

> But those engineers determined that their fix would only successfully transition the helicopter into flight mode 85% of the time. So Thursday's attempt may have fallen into the 15% of instances in which it doesn't work.
Sadly, you do not live in a vacuum. The system needs to serve everyone and make sense.

Everyone choosing what is exactly right for them implies those choices are all possible and the complexity, risk and cost profile also makes sense.

Those things are not true, and the outcome is rapidly escalating cost and risk exposure.

This has been addressed in many ways, and one of the easier ways is to have government fund those bennies to provide a respectable floor. People who need more can choose to do that and the market for such things would make much more sense and be lower cost and risk for everyone.

An example seen worldwide is supplemental plans that operate in addition to primary plans, which are actually illegal in many parts of the world due to the inherent conflict between profit motive and health care.

You wanting to keep your money and make choices is very different from wanting other people to keep their money, which is an overreach frankly.

Further, in the current scenario, you really can't be sure medical people have your best interests in mind because the priority is making money not making sure we have healthy people.

When medical people are free to actually make healthy people a priority, the discussion about best interests becomes a much easier one.

> they will blame Apple if their data is stolen/privacy invaded

This is something that happens currently because Apple has decided they are the sole distributor of apps, with their explicit approval implying that the app is good and wholesome.

I think you only need to look to Windows and macOS users to understand that people don't hold the platform fully responsible, and rightfully so.

> Do you really think that end users will care that they installed an app through a seedy 3rd party app store?

Apple certainly will care, and they can and have rejected signing certs on Mac. For better or worse (Apple still having final say on what constitutes malware), I think this is fine (for now).

> Can Apple lock down their private API's? Maybe, but I feel that will lead to a cat and mouse game where apps have lots of code testing to see what they can reach out and access on the OS version they are installed on.

Yeah, sounds great. Look at where Windows security is compared to 10 years ago. Things get better over time and that only comes through testing the limits.

Apple has a lot of money and they can certainly hire the experts to work on these hard problems.
I'm happy some people want to be vegan and I try to be careful and buy cage-free eggs and stuff because the way animals tend to be abused on farms can be pretty upsetting.

Please don't lie when you're selling me food though (or play games to trick me into buying your stuff.) I tried amazon fresh a couple times and accidentally bought the plant based "meat" which was pretty much inedible (if I wanted a vegetarian diet I would just eat vegetables not some crazy processed garbage.) I no longer buy food from Amazon because of this.

"Many gig workers explicitly do not want to become employees."

I think most know the worker routine. If they don't look a certain way, the right age, the right resume, they won't get the job.

And the fact once they are an employee, they lose any bit of autonomy they think they have by being a independant?

It's too bad that we have a huge line of people:

1. Buying a vechicle specific four door vechicle Uber approves of before even applying to use the app. That is a huge upfront expence. Uber makes it sound like we all have a late model four door sedan collecting dust in the four car garage?

People are going bankrupt at best, but usually ruining credit, buying this huge asset in order to drive at the whims of Uber. There's no guarantes whatsoever. Want a deal on a four door sedan? Look at Craigslist used vechicle sales. Look for the last year Uber allows independents to drive. Actually I have noticed guys get another newer vechicle a couple of years before their vechicle ages out of Ubers strict year requirements. Some keep the useless four door sedan to drive a few more years under Lyft, or that's what I heard.

2. The guys whom are making a livible wage are usually driving to a big city. (A guy I know drives from santa Rosa to SF 7 days a week to make it work financially, and he is barely making it. He's working 80 hrs week.)

3. No health, they pay for gas, and insurance.

4. Yes--I'm picking on Uber.

My point is before Uber Bought the proposition, many drivers wanted better working conditions, and most seemed excited Uber might have to give them a vechicle, and working conditions would be better.

Then reality/fear set in? They will probally be fired next, or never hired me in the first place?

Maybe I'll just stick with this chitty job? America has become the king of chitty jobs.

And we have a lot of desperate people who will take these lousy jobs.

>I guess I just see it as a fool's errand to try to approach vegan cheeses as imitations.

I don't really think its a fool's errand for consumers to approach food as an imitation when its literally developed and marketed as an imitation/replacement.

Eventually the imitations and/or authentic lab grown food might get it right. Until then people will rightfully complain about them when they are disappointed.

Personally If I wanted to eat less animal products I'd just eat more fruit/vegetables/grains/rice prepared in traditional ways. They are delicious and likely to remain better than anything artificial at least for several more decades.
If plant-based cheese is ever going to gain mainstream acceptance, it will be necessary to fall under the "cheese" category alongside cow, goat, and other animal-based cheeses. The founder of Impossible Foods has a great framing on this about targeting meat-eaters with a substitute, rather than going after the much smaller group of highly incentivized vegetarians/vegans.

There are multiple legal fights by animal agriculture lobbying groups to exclude plant-based products from using the meat/cheese/egg terms, specifically (IMO) to try to maintain the status quo and prevent these products from gaining traction.

Ultimately there are no natural laws governing language, and given the above acceptance of plant-based products under these terms is a fight worth fighting for anyone hoping to see them gain traction and mainstream acceptance.

Wow tbh I thought this post was being kinda precious until the menus thing. That is so gross and has never occurred to me.
This is about TAXES and the cost of healthcare for the government.

1. We implement OBAMA care which allows most people to receive subsidized health insurance. Supposedly to cover the uninsured. Then pension plans, employers, gig companies take advantage of this fact and push the people to the marketplace. The cost of OBAMA care skyrockets along with all other insurance plans.

2. Gig companies do not have to carry employee tax liability on their balance sheet. Each independent gig work needs to do this. Would the IRS rather collect from 1 company or hundreds of thousands of independent contractors. Additionally, independent contractors are viewed as a business and can take substantial deductions. The combination of taking advantage of tax deductions, the cost to collect from all of contractors and the fact that a good number of contractors do not make their tax payments, leads to reduced revenue.

3. Personal mandate goes away and the Gig worker drops their health insurance or the personal mandate wasn't paid int he first place. By creating this scenario OBAMA care becomes unsustainable.

I worked 19 years as a contractor and loved it. Never was provided benefits. I purchased my own health insurance until the ACA came along and it doubled the cost the plan I purchased for my family year over year until it was unaffordable. I didn't want to purchase the terrible plans available through the marketplace so I got a job.

This. As a flexitarian trying to increase veg protein to decrease my footprint I find I enjoy cooking with tofu, dried soy crumbs, chicpeas and home made seitan the most. They are also very versatile and do not introduce seven conflicting flavors and colors out of the box. Simple and been on the shelves since forever. Fake meats can be impressive as engineering but before long tend to feel weird, off and/or boring.

Impossible does a great job of imitating meat, primarily the flavor of blood. But as I'm eating less meat, I'm tasting the blood more distinctly and find I actually don't enjoy it at all.
Many robot arms provide robust RS-485 and (in some cases) Ethernet and have all wires plumbed inside the arm (so, little to no maintenance). In certain non-critical cases (like, agriculture), wireless can be used too, for instance, when there's a strong urge to transfer more video data than the internal link allows for.
People don't explicitly pay for bank accounts anymore -- remember when "free checking" was a big deal? So it actually did have some benefits for consumers.

> Given the reproduction number appears as the base of an exponent, I would not consider the difference "small."

The difference in measurement is small, relative to the error in measurement.

Look at the error bars on the R0 estimates in that paper. Influenza runs from 1.06 to 3.4. You are trying to make micrometer inferences from a parameter where our best estimates are measured in libraries of congress.
Well, my argument is that it matters more to them than Objective-C did.

In Europe, any time he wanted to get this sick leave, he would need to go to a doctor every single time. That means multiple visits at a doctor every week. After a few weeks or months of being only available randomly, he would get fired from most jobs anyway (which happens regularly in Europe too, there is just a few more hoops to jump through).
I've gone the opposite direction (kind of). I started learning web dev (self taught). PHP, Ruby, Python, JS. Full stack but never got into the cloud era much. But pretty confident I could build anything I set my mind to. This began in the 90s and a couple years ago I started messing with Arduino and finally using C after years of using C-inspired things (it's much less fun for me, 90% seamless but at times feels like work trying to figure out the simplest things seems difficult sometimes or the generally accepted solution is way more complex than I really want). During about Fall of 2020, extra bandwidth from COVID WFH, I finally thought of a big project I wanted to pour some effort into (excitement of making lights blink wore of fast). More difficult than the code, is all the EE stuff. And actually having to engineer things together to create a project. At least in my case, I'm using stepper motors, which means stepper motor drivers and secondary power supplies. I'm also using air pumps, solenoid valves, linear actuators, limit switches, rails systems (open builds is awesome), all kinds of things. The breadboard wiring was insane. Then I built a PCB to organize some of it. I still have no idea when or if I should be using resistors, capacitors, etc. I'm super unfamiliar with electronics but I feel pretty confident at this point I can learn/solve anything on YouTube. Emphasis on Youtube. I Google for software and Youtube for hardware; that's a key distinction I've noticed. I need to see how other people are wiring things together. I can't read a diagram at all. I'm pretty close to a working prototype and have somehow pieced it all together.
