There are established laws that take all it that into account. But new law should be crafted with people's legitimate beliefs in mind. You mention murder but how about something more controversial like a Christian baker being forced to make cakes for gay weddings? How is that not analogous to compelled speech and regulated religion? It is one thing for the government to restrict gay weddings, it is another to enforce people support it despite their beliefs.

Of course, in the eyes of western law, religion does not supersede the rule of law. But at the same time, legislation or judicial enforcement done in ignorance of the people's religions (or lack thereof) is in effect regulating their faith. Just citizens can't claim ignorance when they disobey the law, the gov shouldn't claim ignorance of people's beliefs either.

The only time it makes sense to infringe on religious freedom is when preventing infringement of others' liberty. Point being, murder violated someone's liberty while a baker refusing business violated a right (not liberty since other bakers are willing to serve the couple). I would draw the line by saying concerting to restrict others rights would violate liberties.
I've become very sensitive to this type of person. They mean well, but they're dangerous meddlers. They sit around and imagine how the world "should" be, and then try to force their dreams onto people. The usual result is mass death.

This is not how we actually make progress. We don't wait for somebody who sat with their chin in their hand imagining amazing futures to come tell us their wonderful plans. We get deeply involved in processes and improve them incrementally. "Disruptions" can happen, but organically, not dreamed up and foisted onto us.

People like this guy want e.g. everyone to be farmers, but they themselves don't even have a garden. They want e.g. for property to be communal, but they lock their doors. They don't show that their plans work even at very small scale, even with their friends. They "reimagine" things, but they don't test their ideas personally. It's all quite reminiscent of the stuff Pol Pot wanted to do.

You should be afraid of such people, because they love their ideas more than your life.
Still, if you change "78%" to "at least 78%", it's impressive nonetheless.

> i've never understood why the world keeps announcing NZ as victorious when covid is a marathon

We've been watching you have packed public spaces for 18 months now, while we've been unable to gather in groups of more than 4. I think most people saw NZ as successful enough to keep the lid on until you get everyone vaccinated.

Frankly, it seems like with sufficient border testing and vaccinations for people traveling abroad (at least), you should be able to maintain zero-community transmission.

> if they open up well before NZ which could make things very awkward if we're still fumbling around with an elimination strategy.

Is NZ not open now? I hear about a couple random 3 week lockdowns, but other than that it seems pretty normal.

> healthcare workers, the latter we're seeing severe shortages of even with no covid cases.

That's not unique in NZ. The US and UK, in spite of having very different COVID strategies from NZ, also have shortages of healthcare workers.
>Early computers were about building, not consuming.

How early are we talking about? I'd go out on a limb and say that most kids who owned Commodore 64s (for example) never got much further programming than LOAD “*”,8,1
I dislike code reviews because there is always some guy deciding how things should be. Let's not pretend that the developer has any special say in how the code should look, even though he wrote it. It can be highly demotivating to work as a programmer in such teams.

Usually you have a few guys deciding everything.
If we can’t survive without fossil fuels, we’d definitely be in trouble very quickly, given how soon they’d run out if we are unable to substitute something else in their place.

Fortunately the fact they can be made in the first place means we almost certainly can substitute something else, even if we have to make that something ourselves.
Then the title should be something like "How many people a team leader can be in charge of?"

It is fault of the author to give a misleading title, not mine as a reader to pick on it.

The key point here is that Microsoft has made a way to bypass those protections, so that people could switch to Edge from IE easily.

In the worst case we can just revert to the ways of the pre-computer days though. We will still have a somewhat functioning financial system.
I'm not sure how you're reading this quote as anything other than that: "that is, in proportion to the revenue which they respectively enjoy under the protection of the state." "
This is also my stance. Everyone debates whether Uber drivers and gig workers are employees or contractors: They are clearly neither. But people love a dichotomy, I guess.
Of course Apple allows Mac users to set the default browser as a choice on the very first General preferences panel. Trivial to change.
And after you define this mid-point employment classification between traditionally employed and self employed, businesses who hold the leverage will look at the segments from traditionally employed to the new mid-point as we as self-employed to the new midpoint.

They'll then choose which classification gymnastics they can perform under the legal language and optimize on to minimize their labor costs. That'll take a couple years and the law change to catchup to this abusive behavior avoiding the intent of the law will take another 10-30 years, and we'll repeat the process.

We need better definitions for the labor relation that make it difficult to play these optimization games created simply to optimize on labor and more significant consequences for that behavior to encourage businesses to innovate in other areas (like, I don't know, technology, new products, improved products, etc.) instead of simply extracting wealth from their own workforces.

To be fair to Uber they did create new value in finding and scheduling rides/taxies and I think that is a valuable service. That infrastructure and convenience has a cost though. No longer do you need to hail a taxi and deal with trying to pass directions, miscommunication of destination and charge rates and so on. But it seems they've passed many of those costs onto the drivers themselves and probably consumers to assure a certain sort of profit margin per transaction.
I've seen it posted on HN, but a stricter labeling requirement could provide visibility into the worst software excesses in a lot of areas. And IoT, because ofc.

I'm unfamiliar with Dutch ZZP, and it sounds like there are indeed specific rules that preclude Uber drivers from neatly fitting into the category.

But why would a better fix not be to require ZZP contractors to pay into government-matched/supported funds for healthcare, retirement, etc?

Many people really prefer to not be an employee. Why tether their health and old age to a big employer with a ball and chain?

Controllers still control, believe it or not.

I want tests to assert that I return a file type. Theres method on the base controller for doing that. It, too, is protected. So I need to wrap my controller in a test.

Need to assert that the response differs based on the content of a header, or a cookie? Need to use test the controller.

etc.

The basest of assertions I want tested is that the controller returns/uses the right view. That _should_ be trivial but no. Instead I must rely on a super heavy integration test, or worse, a selenium or other test that requires a user-agent and actual webserver, when all I want to is to assert that "View X" is returned for "Scenario Y"

> demand that you don't work for other similar employers, nor demand that you take every single gig

That's news for me.

Where I live, every single taxi driver has an app open for every uber-like company in the city, including Uber (there are at least four that I know of, most certainly more).

They just pick what they feel like at the moment.

How this is not freelancing I cannot fathom.

This is fascinating, thank you! You’re absolutely correct, the single GR course i took linearized the EFE for the section on gravity waves and the concept that gravitation self-gravitates did not really come through.

Whither pair programming?

There was a period early in the agile movement where code review was eschewed as overly bureaucratic. The solution to get similar gains (nay, better!) was to do pair programming.

My personal experience with it was that when it worked it indeed worked well. Way better than “can you look at this/approve it for me?” But I also admit I haven’t done any real amount of pair programming in years now.

Does anyone effectively transcend reviews with pair programming anymore? Or is it a hippy coder thing of the past?
Life on a Rez is so outside my experience that I'm not going to second guess tribal politicians on it.
That's correct in both the superluminal and the subluminal case, and more or less the point of the example. The spot moves superluminal, but the particles creating it don't. This makes it impossible to use it for superluminal information transfer.

AFAIK Expansion of the universe is comparable. It pushes things away not by speed but by putting extra 'new' space between things.

Your sibling comment makes a variant of the same point:c is the maximal speed of information or causality. Light in a vacuum is just one of the things capable of reaching it.
Bryan Caplan: Our Homeschooling Odyssey
Firefighting is probably the best analogy I've seen on this topic.

If you've ever seen the aftermath of a successful large-scale firefighting operation, you know the building is generally left uninhabitable. And this is preferable to the alternative, which is an uninhabitable building full of dead people (or a larger swath of dead people and damaged buildings).

The time to perfect the art of fighting fires is in the downtime between fires. During the fire, you rely on your training and preparation and you act. Not all those actions will be optimal; maybe, in hindsight, you didn't have to crush that wall or hose that room full of artwork. But unlike regular times when cautious action is preferred, neither a fire nor a pandemic will wait patiently while the optimal path to fighting them is found.

Yes, but likely they will then "extend" Linux so if an dev is using WSL to develop a linux project you will need to install MS things on your production enviroment, likely in the NET Core world... I am sure this will happen with the full support the Linux Foundation whom they paid off. It will also come by default in Azure I am sure

After they "extend" with MS open source then start to require just a few closed binaries, that is not a big deal right, for the functionality... see VSCode as an example of this in modern times. This likely will be a paid feature unless you use Azure where it will be free...

and before long we enter the Extinguish phase

Both are features that Uber can implement, but you can't cheat the market. At the end of the day, if you're just driving someone from point A to point B, you're competing with everyone else at the moment doing the same. As a driver, your client in this case is either Uber, Lyft, or another ridesharing service. If they add the ability to decline riders, I don't see how it would be used for anything else besides discrimination.

Dead in the fucking water.
I believe that the big takeaway from GPT-3 experimental results is not about a potential path to general human-level intelligence, but rather about the observation that so many of the "intelligence-related" practical tasks that we wanted to solve (and could not before) don't really need human intelligence or anything close to it; that apparently pattern-recognition-on-steroids gets us close enough to automate tasks for which we mistakenly thought that actual intelligence is necessary.

If a stochastic parrot can do a complex task, it does not tell much about the intelligence of that system, but it does tell a lot about the properties of that task.

> But all things considered, energy prices do in fact need to be high in order to support faster deployment of renewables and CO2-neutral energy.

>Sucks for everyone who has marginal incomes, but I'm sure we can make some adjustments to the safety net policies to mitigate that.

When people complain about policies that screw the middle class this is exactly the kind of stuff they are talking about. The poors scrape by with their vouchers. The middle class flounders until they're poor enough to qualify for the vouchers. Energy, education, healthcare, housing, etc. etc. etc. regardless of the sector the effect is the same.

People have a habit of voting against people who screw them once they figure it out.

Burning fossil fuels might be unsustainable on a 50yr timeline but squeezing people financially is unsustainable on a 5yr timeline that gets us the worst of both.
Any app can do app specific URLs on iOS to invoke particular apps with content. I would guess that Google apps detect the presence of Chrome and modify the URLs to be Chrome specific rather than generic https URLs. Its ok with Apple because that is a standard supported mechanism on iOS.

One obvious weakness of the options they have to do this is they're preparing for diseases we've seen, not novel diseases we haven't seen yet. But in the case of COVID-19, it's an airborne pathogen so the flu containment protocol was the best tool in the toolbox. Masks, hand-washing, and lockdowns didn't come out of a vacuum; they're part of the standard process (which most people perhaps didn't know because unlike, say, fire-fighting, we don't have regular TV shows about pandemics).

I read an econ paper describing how uber drivers were making much less than they thought after taking into account gas and maintenance costs.

I'm not sure they know what's best for them.
