They did this to me for three years, including after I talked to humans.

In 2017, a policy change meant that when a rider reported a driver, the driver rating stayed. Prior to that, things were being handled. Afterwards, a five year five star account dropped to 2.6 in two months.

The only solution was to stop using Uber.

I've been gone for four years.

What I learned is that Uber is needed in tiny towns, but in every decent sized city, I have better experiences with lyft and flywheel anyway.

What originally brought me to Uber was faster, lower hassle rides with fewer scams.

No loss, it turns out

Any reddit thread where the subject of "men in nursing" arises quickly fills with tales of straightforward discrimination and gross sexual harassment.
Yeah, I don't get it. If you have infinite resources, and you absolutely know the doctor is competent (a question omitted here that would make this more interesting) just tie the doctor's fate to yours.

I don't know if overpaying will work, because the marginal value of money goes down the more you have. Once your doctor is rich enough, he won't be overly concerned if you die and the checks stop coming in.

The real answer is the action-movie/not-that-uncommon-in-reality answer: Credibly promise to shoot the doctor if you die, or to shoot the doctor's family members.
I don't think you're right. It has to be negotiated about, either I get this role or you will have to find a replacement for me.

Yeah I am not going to take lessons from the nation that almost elected the daughter of a Nazi after you got a few brown people immigrating in.

From what I've read, the racism in France is quite bad. Your habit of "not discussing" race makes it more difficult to enforce the law - for instance, the phenomena of nightclubs & bars turning away black patrons is quite common in Paris.

You have a career in comedy if you think that the Play Store's definition of canary rollouts is good. Hell, the entire Play Console is probably one of the most hated piece of software by android devs because of how terrible it is, with constant changes, horrible performance, stupid requirements and non-working options.

Thanks! This actually launched first btw - also, huge update coming next week!
Some of this looks quite.... questionable, and ironically for people that spend so much of their time attacking "the media", this authors would do well to learn something about journalism, and some of it seems downright disingenous. For example, the author talks about representation and talks about that in terms of percentage of white people hired in big tech, but if you dig in to those numbers you find out that basically the reason the big tech companies have a low number of white employees is because they have an enormous over-representation of asian employees. It's all well and good to say "Only 51.7% of employees at Google are white, so clearly we've got great diversity" - but using the same statistics you can also say "93% of the workforce is white or asian and that rises to 95.5% in leadership positions". Sudenly that doens't look so stunning. In fact it almost looks deliberately misleading.

Then you look at their methodology for looking at who is in Tech journalism. There are just some glaring issues.

First of all - are we really grabbing a single month of authors in the NYT? And if you're grabbing the data from the NYT website, why not just do that over a few years?

Why have we chosen these 13 random publications? I'm assuming that the NYT is included literally just because the people who did this study don't like the NYT? And meanwhile, they therefore completely skate over a massive obvious problem - a massive amount of Tech journalism is independent or covered in publications that aren't listed here - does AnandTech not count as tech journalism now? Let's completely ignore independent journalists shall we?

The second list of tech journalists is literally just "We found this random list of tech journalists and took it at face value".

Now there are about 1000 different problems I have with this study (I think it's frankly just quite shoddy) but a real highlight was where they just admit to basically finding the list of jouranlists (a list I quite frankly think is just worthless due to the methodology) and then just start guessing whether they're white.

The author complains that no tech journalists will cover this, but this is just really really shoddy work, and that doesn't even get into the obvious fact that Big Tech and Big Tech journalism are not the same! We're literally comparing a list of less than 1000 journalists to companies that employ hundreds of thousands of people.

"My Android phone just died at 1pm with empty battery, I don't know why! I'm buying an iPhone!" complaints are something noone from the Android side of the market wants to continue hearing. Even if that means that you now need to have a notfication clearly telling you your battery is being drained.
I agree with the commenter who pronounced it "drivel" and whom the author referenced in his article.
Before cryptocurrency, how was a ransomware attacker supposed to get paid without immediately getting caught by authorities? Bank transfers or checks don't work, because a bank account contains a bunch of contact information that law enforcement can access. Western Union or gift cards can work, but they have practical transfer limits, putting a cap on the amount of money an attacker can receive. There's always cash, but that requires the attacker to go to a specific place, which is very risky.

Ransomware attacks can certainly happen without cryptocurrency. However, there was no practical way for criminals to get multi-million dollar payouts previously. This payout potential changes the attack risks significantly. Few criminals will bother to target hospitals or gas pipelines if all they can get is a few thousand dollars worth of gift cards.

While I think the idea of visualizations of global scale number is good this seems to bring with it a political agenda. It would be improved if I could see multiple viewpoints and those agendas were made fully transparent.

I also think some ratios/comparisons could be interesting. The rate of births to deaths would be interesting to see with the numbers ticking along. While I can see the population ticking up I never realized there were 67k more people born every day than die.

I’m in the initial phase of structuring a book that aims to teach some simple algorithms and data structures using Python. The idea is that the reader should do the (guided) exercises to learn how to build those data structures. It’s basically “learn by doing”.

For instance, to teach what a stack is I’ll explain the basic idea of a stack, then provide a base class and the reader must implement each method (init, push, pop, peek, etc) given the requirements and intended results of each functionality.

I already have a kind-of “learn by doing” ebook about Python (https://github.com/joaoventura/full-speed-python), so it’s like a follow-up to that one.

Don’t know if people are interested in a book like this, though..

Piggy backing off of this- the real net benefit is unblocking an SSTO design (Single Stage to Orbit).

Instead of having a lift stage and an orbital stage, aerospikes can theoretically do both, meaning one cohesive vehicle from launch through orbit.

The weight savings and reusability factors are huge if SSTO setups become feasible.

On the one hand we have endless accounts of people deathly afraid of coming out, even to families that "know them personally" (and grave consequences in cases where the truth inadvertently comes to light), even when the larger community/law explicitly protects them. On the other we have your vague assertion that it'll be all right. I doubt "just get to know the other" works outside of specific constraints that are absent from most "organic" threats to the local orthodoxy.
Can you explain more? It seems like it would only encourage equality of outcome if you took the assumption that black people are innately less interested in tech as true.

Way to spin it: more evidence for the wage inequality between man and female caused by the patriarchy which forces woman into low paying jobs and men into high paying ones. The few man who were willing to accept a low paying job were actively redirected towards higher paying ones.
Men are marginalized in many ways beyond what this one article says - education, criminal justice, mental health to name but a few broad areas. Anyone who says otherwise is part of the problem and should have no voice in this conversation.

Happy International Men's Day.

Saying it’s “up to users to decide whether to trust those” is simply saying that the problem is currently not solved. I mean, either the package is tethered to a domain name or a PGP key. Pick one.

You can, of course, have both, if you use DNSSEC and DNS “PGP” records; the PGP key is then validated by the DNS.

Or use a Tile, which is the same thing and has been in use for years without anybody complaining about the stalking.

The main difference between the Tile and the AirTag is that the AirTag network automatically includes every iPhone and is therefore much larger than the Tile, despite being newer. Apple anticipated the stalking and included the anti-stalking feature. Tile has not implemented anything like that.

I do believe Apple at least needs to make the anti-stalking detection available for Android. At core it's just Bluetooth. I suspect they always intended to, after they'd gotten the maximum of "I need an iPhone just for this" sales out of it. Once they've passed that, they might as well expand their AirTag reach (and network) to Android users.
I find it beautiful.
'Corn' alone is unusual I'd say, and someone saying it yes probably in agriculture and means any grain.

Otherwise 'sweetcorn' or 'corn on the cob' ('corncob') are common. But you can't have e.g. 'wheat on the cob' so it's not ambiguous.

This is the problem.

Ethereum is for those who can afford the astronomical gas fees even on a slow transaction speed which is quite worse than card payment at this point.

Basically it is useless for anyone that pays for their groceries given that the gas fee itself will be more expensive than the food you are paying for.

Other blockchains already exist to avoid these issues from the start without relying on, fixing / patching, building on top of Ethereum.

These DAO tokens give no actual claim to anything. If the bid had succeeded, this museum piece would be owned by a private corporation. Not even a proper non-profit, just a guy who took advantage of the zeitgeist.

Now that the bid failed, they're refunding the money, but donors have already lost millions on gas and exchange fees. The DAO creators were even bragging about how many of these donors were brand new wallets. So in all, a very typical crypto outcome: nothing actually happened in the real world, but the top of the pyramid extracted some more money from thousands of retail newcomers.

There's nothing illegal in the Insurance Code that prevents us from doing it: when the insurance company receives the request, it checks that back with the insured (as opposed to you trying to cancel multiple times).
Duplicate in subject but this is from a more qualified source which was a repeated point of discussion in the comments. I hope this thread stays.
I do this!

I’ve found that my employer-provided health insurance is less than worthless for routine health care. I actually pay less by going to providers who don’t accept insurance — even though I maintain bare-minimum coverage and an HSA. I don’t think I used my health insurance at all this year — at least not enough to come close to meeting the deductible.

My primary care doctor uses this model — I pay $300/yr for basically unlimited access. I have a therapist who I pay $75 a session. I use GoodRX for prescriptions and get better prices than the post-deductible price on my insurance plan.

Basically, I pay less out of pocket by not using my insurance. I also get to choose my doctors, and they treat me as an actual patient rather than a number. Health insurance in the US is a scam.
Yeah, but this just completely detached from real life. Companies will always pay, even if you make it illegal, companies will still pay.

Will fewer companies pay? Sure. Does it matter? No. Ransomware gangs wouldn't go anywhere even if their average payments got cut down by 90%, and the stuff they might switch to (BEC) isn't going to go away either.
It's easy enough for any individual who cares. Even if you personally struggle with that sort of thing, it's not hard to find someone to do it for you. But the fact is most people don't care because some corporation who knows me only as user #24601 having location data indicating I spent 20 minutes in or around a Barnes and Noble doesn't negatively affect me the way that my neighbor taking pictures of me while I shower does.
Turns out that was actually a thing:

'the line of messianic descent was defined by the French word Sangréal.... In English translation, the definition, Sangréal, became "San Gréal", as in "San" Francisco. When written more fully it was written "Saint Grail", "Saint", of course, relating to "Holy"; and by a natural linguistic process came the more romantically familiar name, "Holy Grail".'

> Opinion: Due to Chinese human rights abuses AND the threats against American business, the US should not attend the upcoming Beijing Olympics

In a vacuum, I fully agree with protesting China to the fullest extent; however, if scientists are to be believed, these things (human rights, trade, etc violations) trifle in comparison to the climate change threat, and China has all of humanity by the throat here. We need a cooperative relationship with China for the coming decades, since we can't just move our manufacturing (and thus its pollution) out of China overnight and the climate can't wait for a more gradual approach.

EDIT: Looks like I struck a nerve. Folks, believe me, I don't like the idea of letting China off the hook in the short term for its violations, but if anyone has ideas for holding China accountable while also getting it to meet emissions targets, I'm all ears.

Yeah, I was ready to be convinced; I love punctured myths. But having built too many things based on executive fantasies, it seems all too plausible to me that whether or not the staircase direction made practical sense, various kings would love imagining themselves as heroic defenders on every square foot.

Like others, I think the fact that this myth appears to be novel and recent is a much better sign that we shouldn't take this very seriously. And I totally agree with his point about "frequency of its repetition by parents to children". There is so much "Pluto is so a planet" thinking in the world. It's really hard to critically examine beliefs we take on as children.

That's just not true. If the second highest bidder could only go to $20, then anything above $20 would be fine.
