The average browser user doesn't know anything about CSS tweaking. Advanced users may know about it if they're curious enough or work with web technologies. People get pushed around by other reasons, mostly things like OS integration (Edge, Chrome).

> There's Vivaldi, and it too uses HTML for its interface, but the team doesn't seem to care about UI performance at all.

Thanks to that, Vivaldi also actively supports CSS tweaks like Firefox. They do indeed care about UI performance and work towards fixing it... The 3.7 update really improved its UI responsiveness. Still, it feels slower than Chrome/Brave/Firefox.
If you're correct, and it costs more money to keep people, then we are wrong: it's not cheaper to go for stability.

Maybe it's like in the prisoner dilemma: you can't go lower than the market peak because no-one will come to you, even if you offer more on average than the industry average. This way, we reward the job hoppers with the peak salaries. Peak salaries means over time the average goes up too. I guess it's how free markets operate.
Hackers and Founders in Martha's Vineyard?
Anyone around Martha's Vineyard this Friday or Saturday and wants to co-host a hackers and founders meetup?
The key word is publicly... Or I missed <sarcasm> tags?
But once you make a formal structure flat enough, informal structures can start to solidify and dominate (think High School).

I always try to keep this in mind, Valve which famously has a completely flat structure, ended up turning into an environment where things like popularity and ability to dispense resources defined the practiced org structure. Be careful what you wish for.
It's a nice thing to say and all, but not everyone with T1D is abled-bodied. There are other people with T1D who also have to work in an office right after their mealtime so it's also a form of classism. You are also pointing out something that is extremely obvious to people with T1D. You could try to be more thoughtful with your posts and actually post something substantive, useful, and original instead.

Also, your post below about "first world problems" is offensive. First world problems do not exist and it is unbelievably offensive to people suffering in developing countries, like in many places in Africa. Trust me, I know, as I have immediate family who recently lived in Africa on assignment in one of the most corrupt countries in the world for a couple of years. You would not believe how insensitive "first world problems" actually is. I suggest you cut it out of your language, now. Same goes with first world/third world. You need to use "developed countries" and "developing countries".

Please be mindful of your language.
The CEO and other execs are definitely making a killing out of it. That's all that matters. If the ship sinks they'll gladly jump out of it and move on to the next thing.
I thought the same thing. Looking at the last 18 months of utter and complete quantitative illiteracy on display in journalistic institutions covering COVID, I'm not surprise at this absurdly simplistic thinking on other subjects.

Edit:
You weren't being snarky, and have every right to complain about ignorant, non-analytical people being given a platform to write foolish statements like "it's hot there so fires start easier".
> all the hedge funds are swooping in with dark money, dark legal and dark politics

I'm concerned about this also. I wonder if this is something that can be mitigated somehow via referendum?

It seems wrong if the will of the people in a democracy has to take a back seat to hedge fund profits, especially when it comes to a place to live. it's tough though, current homeowners don't want there to be more houses...

Or maybe we'll luck out demographically, when the baby boomer generation dies they'll be less demand for housing.
> they also don't have the tech that powers Uber/Lyft which allows anyone to hail a ride from their smartphone

Sure they do, as long as they just get an app built by a contractor and don't employ 5000 engineers building cool open-source infrastructure projects and unnecessary "growth" features.

Multiple taxi companies with ~200 cars in my city each have their own smartphone apps with all the features you actually need: ordering or scheduling a ride, GPS tracking, payment with credit card or business invoice.

Looks like these apps were last updated in mid & late 2020, but if it works you don't need a permanent tech team to keep the taxi business going.
In the sense the parent used it, yes.

If a majority of banks and businesses agree to block transactions of a known terrorist, is it collusion or cooperation? I don't see a meaningful distinction at that point, other than the negative connotation of "collusion" poisoning the well. Which is why I referred to "cooperation" instead.
OK so what? Nothing you've stated here applies to the original post. You're fabricating some outrage about nothing relevant. The original post shows Archer C7 and C9 routers...
Math is the language of the universe, so it's always useful.
Totally agree, the numbers in this article strike me as ranging from "suspect" to "bullshit". I should've clarified that I was defining how I and (I think) other real managers use those terms.

For example, my guess would be that the lost value from a disengaged employee is closer to 100% of their salary than 18%, because of how they drag the rest of the team down by generating bugs, derailing conversations, needing constant help to un-fuck their local env, etc.
Legitimate interest is one of the six legal bases for processing personal data under the GDPR, alongside: consent, performance of a contract, a vital interest, a legal requirement, and a public interest.

I don’t think we’ve seen much in the way of precedent being set here, but theoretically if you can demonstrate and document a measured approach to the way you collect and process data it should be fine. (Objection not withstanding.)

On the other hand, a drag net approach to collecting and sharing data won’t stand up to legitimate interest claims no matter how many toggles you put on your cookie banners.
> I live in Burbank, where Ubers were never more than 5 minutes away. Now, a 30 minute wait is common – and the fare is comparable to the licensed taxi company, which is literally one app away from achieving feature parity with Uber.

This sounds like the typical arrogant software developer declaring that they could build someone else's entire business during a weekend with a text editor.

"Literally one app away" is exactly what was wrong with the taxi business before Uber and Lyft. And yet with 10 years to catch up, taxi apps -- many of them built specifically to try to compete with Uber/Lyft -- still suck.
What I think is even more different is that someone with the 486 in 2000 was used to the idea that they wouldn't be able to run some software, but unable to run a website? Unheard of, it's just broken.
It's not the Tree of Knowledge that is a 'bad thing', but rather Adam and Eve did a bad thing by defying God's command not to eat from that tree.
A lot of talk about how amazing the app is amazing at drawing people in but the conjecture comes off more that these are users looking to being drawn in. Whatever trick the app pulls, these users want that attraction. Kind of comes off as willful gullibility to me.
When he puts it like that, it makes me think Uber has a much better business model than I thought. Taxi efficiency is very heavily dependent on information - if you know exactly where the customers are, where the drivers are, and then can run shortest-path algorithms in real-time to match them up, you can save huge amounts of driver time waiting and finding customers. Figure you save an hour a day * 200 workdays/year * 200K taxi drivers in the U.S. and that's 40 million hours saved in the U.S. a year. At a rate of $10/hour, that's $400M/year. Then add in economies of scale from knowing where all the drivers and customers are, and a better brand and better customer experience from reducing wait times and transaction costs to get a taxi.

Is that worth $80B? I don't know, but I'd guess probably not. But it'd easily pay for a SF HQ and several thousand engineers.
Bikeable if you're comfortable with biking on Apache or University, but not really walkable. It's 2+ miles of sidewalks and throughfare crossings to the actual campus. I imagine that's why the site stresses bike and transit so much — it's 100 feet from an Orbit route, 0.3 mi. from a rail stop, and 0.7 mi. from Valley Metro bus stops, and all go to campus.
Thanks, I hadn't seen that. How soul destroying.

(It's a pity your comment was downvoted when it was the only meaningful reply. As always, we'll never know why. Maybe the downvoters didn't get the sarcasm. Or maybe they think handing your sister to the police when she asks for your help is the right thing to do...)
Okay, maybe I wasn't clear enough. If you click the "how" button[0] there's a lot of things to fill in here that are labeled as mandatory, including the camera view. This is cumbersome. It would be nice to be integrated into an app and fill in a lot of this stuff for you. Additionally, I looked at two of the three open sourced OSM apps for Android (via your link) and found that neither of them will display this data nor do they look like you are able to add this data. My comment was saying "make it easy for users to add data if you want to collect data." So I'm not sure how your response answers my question. If there is a specific app with this integration in it, please link the specific app. But don't just leave a generic comment that contributes nothing to the conversation and just wastes peoples time.

We live in the endless loop folks! It took me a while to realize if it was actually the purpose of this post.

Edit: Yes, it was not.
Congratulations on the release Tim, my copy arrived yesterday and looking forward to getting into it.
This is sad but I feel probably true in some sense.
Yea I know - tried to craft a non-political response to a politically charged comment.
It's a good question that I don't know enough about the taxi business to answer. However, it's also a pretty general/speculative argument, so not the strongest case for "Uber can never be profitable", especially since there are general/speculative arguments on the other side too. For example: economies of scale have worked in other industries, why can't that happen here? And: software-is-eating-the-world has generally been holding true, so why would this be an exception?
Iterative compile times are definitely a constant consideration for us. Some various thoughts on this topic:

* For faster iteration on game logic, you can compile app logic in debug mode and the engine in release mode. App logic is rarely the bottleneck when compared to internal systems like rendering.

* Dynamic linking has been a huuuuge win for us. Dynamically linking often gives sub-second iteration times for our examples. Of course, as your app logic/crates get bigger it is more important for you to manage compile time complexity on your end (and we have seen bigger projects notice this trend). Developers can control this by modularizing their code (and dynamically linking these modules when necessary). I'd like to build templates and tooling that encourages people to follow these patterns.

* We have an optional "fast compiles" configuration (check out our quick start guide), which gives additional significant compile time boosts (ex: faster linkers, generic sharing, etc).

* Dynamic linking is just one piece of the puzzle. We need to constantly drive down code size and complexity (by limiting things like generic usage) and dependencies to ensure that userspace compiles as quickly as possible, with or without dynamic linking. Macroquad is the pinnacle of this minimization in the rust ecosystem (imo), but they make way more compromises in terms of "rust ecosystem usage" and api design than I am willing to. My goal is to strike an ideal balance between these (often conflicting) goals.
> Sometimes you just need to step away from the grind.

Was your work routed to someone else during your time off?

I would truly like to step away and relax. But the last time I tried to step away, I couldn't stop ruminating over all the unfinished work in my queue. My hunch is that it's not possible to truly relax unless someone else can temporarily step-in for the vacationer. Otherwise, on return, we're just greeted with an even-larger pile of work.
The 5G play will start as a cheap means of offloading 5G data transfer to select MNO/MVNOs at a cost of $.50/gb, using the CBRS spectrum. $.50/gb is between 80% and 95% cheaper than the typical rates. The $.50/gb goes directly to the pocket of whoever owns and operates the helium hotspot. There are several MNO/MVNO agreements in the works, but until it goes live, it will be shrouded in secrecy. I take this $111M round as confirmation that things must be going well.

The magic is in the decentralized deployment model. Individuals can effectively become their own cell tower. This enables an effect similar to that of airb&b: you can sell 5G data out of your window (if it makes sense for you location), or strike agreements with SMBs for a profit share. Since this is CBRS spectrum, this is actually legal to do for the first time.

The helium token economic model is appealing as well. Every packet of 5G data transferred through a helium node places buy pressure on the supply capped HNT token.

I'm not even touching on proof of coverage which is more fuel for build out. PoC is an ingenuous means to incentivise build out before the demand catches up.

Unfortunately 13-25 year olds are less tech sawy than a decade ago because they were raised on locked down platforms like iOS and Android.
I don't see it. Clearly our motivations are misaligned. I'm not confident you can sell me on the idea that this will get people to trust them more, and therefore buy more apple stuff.
That's a bit of hyperbole, isn't it? You never understood why some [most] cultures assume humans must be fundamentally different [than other animals]?? Well, smelting iron ore, and a long, long list of other unique accomplishments never replicated by any other species on the planet [or known universe for that matter] tends to crystalize the observation that there is something fundamentally different about this singular species. That animals are smarter than human cultures have ever generally given them credit for doesn't bridge this enormous gulf. Humans generally think less of (underestimate) anything not relevant to their immediate existence, including other humans (from other cultures, time periods, political parties, etc). Same reason my dog is uniquely intelligent, and can even understand English, but dogs in general are not intelligent. Maybe this tendency to denigrate is an evolved survival skill. Nonetheless, call me when the seagulls start splitting atoms.
What about Japan, in which over 87% of rail passenger transits in three metropolitan areas are provided by private operators?

Perhaps "popularity and ability to dispense resources" is better than just "ability to dispense resources" (i.e. traditional hierarchy).
> I'm asking the first question. I agree with you that even if the answer to the first question is, "yes, Uber can be profitable", the answer to the second question (can it generate a positive return for its investors) is in doubt. It's possible for a company to be a losing investment and yet still end up as a profitable business operationally.

But then if we're admitting that Uber's unlikely to be profitable over its lifetime, why would anyone buy their stock?

That's really what people care about in these discussions. Its not "Will Uber be profitable this quarter?", its... "should I buy Uber stock?".

The last guy lost money on Uber stock and is trying to offload these shares / certificates onto someone else now. Will buying those shares at this current price (aka: very expensive: $81 Billion market cap) be worthwhile?

You can buy many other companies at much cheaper prices than that.
With the finely rolled oats which seem to be the most common ones available in Denmark, I'm even lazier:

2. Dribble over "enough" cold water

3. Add yoghurt, berries, chopped fruit, coconut flakes or whatever

Dr. Robert Malone Talks Censorship – Interview
One way to "fix" this IMO would be to allow proprietary apps, but keeping the 30/70 split for those to account for increased monitoring and having them confined by the same flatpak permissions as everything else, and lowering the split to 12/88 for open source apps.
For what it's worth, I discovered this feature on accident because I naturally expected it to do that.
New Lantern | React Engineers | Full-time | Remote or SF | https://newlantern.ai

New Lantern is a new Web App that helps radiologists analyze patient medical images and craft diagnoses. This product will make doctors more accurate, expedite the turnaround time for patients and help provide a more seamless experience for both the patient and doctor.

We’re looking for a frontend React engineer who can help us build out our enterprise medical imaging platform. You’ll own the frontend of a cloud-based medical image viewer radiologists use to prioritize, view, manipulate, and annotate exams containing thousands of images (MRIs, CT scans, etc..).

We've raised capital from a top VC and several prominent angels/radiologists, and have closed a 6-figure contract with a radiology practice, laying the path very clear to a Series A raise. As votes of confidence, we were accepted into YC S21 and ODF, although we passed on both since there's a crystal-clear customer-centric path ahead of us.

The company is early-stage, engineers that like to take initiative and define both product and engineering culture are very welcome!

For those who are interested in what makes a great town, I recommend two books: Happy City by Charles Montgomery, and Strong Towns by Charles Marohn. Both were red pill/blue pill books for me on what makes a great city.

When my wife and I moved we completely changed what we were looking for in a house/community. We wanted a Main Street style town. We used to love master planned communities with huge houses. In our small, Main Street style town all of our kids can walk/ride to school, we have two grocery stores within 2 miles away, and all our doctors are biking/riding distance. It's changed how we live. We sold our second car. We own so many bikes. We are more active.

Cul-de-sac looks really promising. I've been following along and am excited to see what they create. We need more experiments, even if some don't work out.
Except I could do that with a few regex substitutions, which would not be reasoning. The “intelligence” is in the templates provided by the training data. (Extracting that is impressive, but not that impressive.)
"You'd shoot a little projectile from the drone that embeds itself in the cliff wall, and then you'd reel it back in with a sample."

But the GDPR is not clear -- I gave two examples from the linked article to support my point.

The same thing is true across the GDPR... I'm more familiar with the academic literature around whether there is a "right to an explanation" for AI systems embedded in the GDPR, for example. There are dozens of academic papers arguing both sides of that specific question, with no clear conclusion or consensus.

This would be very strange, maybe they meant take outside off a leash? I can take my dog to the park in my neighborhood but there are leash laws requiring him to be on-leash unless at a specified "dog park" fenced in space. There are a few dog parks that would be more in the driving kind of distance* which have separate fenced in areas depending on size. I mostly just take my dog around the park on his leash, or walk around the neighborhood, or just take advantage of the couple thousand square feet of yard I have in my backyard. After all, that's one of the many reasons why I have a yard, a nice safe place for my child and dog to play around in, a private place I can set up amateur radio antennas somewhat permanently, a private place I can grill and entertain at the private pool, etc. My dog can feel free to just leave to the backyard through a doggie door any time he wants and chase off the neighborhood cats, squirrels, rodents, etc.

At least when it comes to the municipal golf courses, those are usually open to the public during the day to walk all the trails around the courses. They're often also connected to the bike trails in the municipal area which are then usually connected to a lot of the other parks and nature preserves. There are over 80 miles of bike and walking trails in my small city that connect most of the parks and greenspaces. They are not bike lanes on a busy street; these are separate paths that cut through behind neighborhoods, down utility corridors, go under busy bridges, etc.

And I do acknowledge many French people love golf and there are golf courses around, but especially compared to DFW I can't imagine on average its as popular. I'd wager at least 20% of families have at least one full set of golf clubs, and a large percentage of them do some kind of golf event a few times a year. Dallas is the home of places like Top Golf, which is a massively popular evening outing. You wouldn't be able to even think about building something like this inside most urban areas of France, but DFW has four and they're always like a 30-40min wait.

* Its only a few miles on walking trails, but my dog would probably be halfway worn out just getting to the park and would be completely exhausted starting out the trip home.
I think you got it. Pay a million dollars for a medallion, and then have the right to sit at Times Square or JFK and charge people $50 to drive them for 20 or so minute. The cabs are independent LLCs, so they're on their own for health insurance, 401k, etc. Mostly driven by immigrants, I think being a cabbie can be a tough job.
I think people tend to do those activities in the early mornings or after the sun is down.
