Not something I expected to read. A new attitude?
This factor nudged me towards abandoning breakfast as well. Socially, it is better to eat in the second half of the day.

It helped that I am not very hungry in the mornings. I experimented with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and apparently I have a small bump in glucose levels immediately after waking up (not anything massive, but definitely noticeable on the graph), which probably means that the body is anticipating some energy consumption and is ready to cover it from internal sources.
Uber used to have a much simpler app 6-7 years ago. I worked on a product that copied uber and gave whitelabelled uber like apps to taxi operators and other services that required similar functionality.

But even then, we found that the app was hiding a lot of complexity under that simple interface. The uber app of 2022 shows a UI that is a least 10x as complex and hides even more behind that interface.

Something as simple as how uber is able to show you car location in near real time on the screen requires a fair bit of engineering effort to get right at Uber's level of scale.
That's very common in Prague. Uber in Prague is a disaster. About 5% of my rides are probably ending up with having to pay a cancellation fee for a driver who never showed up. Contacting support to resolve this is pain indeed. Most of the Uber rides in Prague are owned by limited liability companies (s r.o.). I guess there's some kind of an alliance between Uber and those local companies.

Another 5-10% or so of my Uber orders in Prague involve driver coming my way then cancelling after 5-10 minutes in the middle, then another driver picking up, and so on. You could be on a 3rd or 4th driver sometimes. Initially I thought this had something to do with traffic jams, but I am now beginning to doubt this, as it happened in mild traffic and off-peak hours as well. It is impossible to trust if Uber will arrive in 10 minutes, 20 minutes or not at all. An Uber ride to the airport is a lottery sometimes.

Finally, arrival times are usually understated. It can be 7 minutes on display but 15 minutes in reality. And this is mostly in Kosire area, about 15 minutes from the center. Whoever is reading this in Uber should really look into their Prague situation.

That being said, I am using Uber extensively in London as well and never have these issues. I also used it in California and never had issues. Uber in Prague is something else, my friends.
I like plants and I can easily reduce meat consumption to a fraction of the usual norm, but I notice that without any animal products at all, I feel sluggish. It is extra noticeable on longer hikes in uneven terrain.

Things like cheese or eggs invigorate me.
Why did they work with the Intel Mac then?
I recently discovered this system and made some scripts to aid interlinear translation. For example https://github.com/enfrte/duo-text

I've also added some basic text manipulation (font-family, size) to the reading text. For example https://interlingue.2038.io/duo-text/
The thing with Uber is that in some places it's the best thing ever and in others it's just a complete disaster. Both view points are correct and I have experienced both myself. For example, when travelling, particularly in notoriously dangerous countries where taxis are extremely untrustworthy and often outright dangerous (driver works with gangs who mug or kidnap you - yes that almost happened to me and it happened to a female friend of mine) Uber has been a real superstar. Uber knows about my whereabouts, knows who picks me up, where the driver is driving, who the driver is and so forth. For a criminal that is too much intrusion and therefore Uber drivers are safer than regular cabs. You can verify that the person who drives the car matches the photo of your cabbie, you can check the reg number, you can follow on your phone if they drive the route calculated by Uber and so forth. If anything appears dodgy you never get in or you're out at the next red light.

On the other hand in first world countries and extremely well connected and overpopulated cities like London Uber is more of a disaster. They clog up the streets and create so much more unnecessary traffic. Uber drivers are extremely picky and don't accept rides which are not going from one prime location to another prime location. They are more expensive than black cabs and offer a worse service. In London black cabs are soooo much better, they can drive in bus lanes which Ubers can't do and therefore beat traffic whereas with an Uber you pay more and then it takes you still twice as long to get anywhere. Also black cabs have more space, they have card readers in the back and you can easily hail them down. It's so frustrating with Uber, especially at night when you want to get home from a party or something which is 10-15 mins away from a busy area and then you try to get an Uber and stare for about 20 minutes on your phone where the app makes you believe that you get a driver confirmed in 2 minutes but it keeps changing and nobody accepts. Literally happened to me so often, looking at my phone and it keeps lying to me that a driver is 3 mins away, then 2 mins, then 4 mins, nobody confirming but it also doesn't allow me to cancel after like 10-15 mins which means I'm then stuck waiting. Uber is so shit it pisses me off. If I don't get an Uber in like 2-3 min then I don't want it and just walk down the road and hail down the next cabbie. So much easier in London sometimes. Anyhow... it's very different in different places.

Show the numbers. Your incentive programs can't be more than your profits in a single market. That is the price you charge must be higher than the price it takes to pay for what you provide. Some things could be ignored in calculation like capital investments, operating cost and development costs.
So basically you bet everything on eternal love.
Indeed, however stuff like CentOS prove how people go out of their way to avoid paying, and how they get pissed off when that option goes away.

I should also note that nowadays Red-Hat belongs to IBM, so there are other forms of funding beyond support contracts for Red-Hat enterprise.
Maybe we should turn it around a bit.

There is a huge variation in what our ancestors ate. But modern highly processed food would be alien to all of them - no tribe nor nation on the planet ever sustained themselves on a diet of salami, pizza, French fries and massively sweetened soft drinks.

This is a very recent sea change in nutrition, where I would expect a lot of unknowable hazards to lie.
Fixed typos/misspellings, edited for more clarity:

yt-dl and yt-dlp use Python to run the Javascript functions that modify the initial "n" and "sig" values to make non-throttled download URLs, but a faster language could be used to interpret and run the snippet of Javascript. For example, V8 is written in C++, not Python.

One of the reasons yt-dl and yt-dlp are so slow, IMO, is because they do (too) many other things besides running the Javascript, modifying n and sig, and spitting out a fast download URL. Before they can run the JS, the video page needs to be retrieved. I have self-created utilities for downloading webpages wth TCP clients that are sgnificantly faster and more flexible than yt-dl/yt-dlp. I use these small dedicated programs every day. I am used to the speed. Waiting for yt-dl/yt-dlp to start up in order to download web pages is annoying. The latency is unbearable.

At the very least yt-dl and yt-dlp should accept an already downloaded YouTube video page as input instead of forcing the user to use Python (or Python calling another program) to download the page. The recalculation of "n" and "sig" do not have to occur within seconds of retrieving the video page. There is no need to require the user to use Python for downloading webpages. The values in the YouTube video page are good for a substantial amount of time.

Both yt-dl and yt-dlp have an option to output the new n and sig values in a download URL or as JSON containing the download URLs, so the user can use an HTTP client directly to download video, wthout need to launch yt-dl/yt-dlp. But the user still has to use yt-dl/yt-dlp to download each video page. Using a TCP client directly would be faster.

Using yt-dl and yt-dlp just to output optimal download URLs feels like overkill. It would be nice to have a program that just focuses on running the inecessary JS in base.js in order to output optimal download URLs. Then the user can use whatever programs she wants, directly, for downloading HTML/JSON, extracting URLs, downloading video files, converting video files, etc. Downloading video from most websites is generally easy. I never need a program like yt-dl/yt-dlp. It is only YouTube that plays games with users trying to get them to enable Javascript and be tracked. One need only look at the size of the extractors in yt-dl/yt-dlp as evidence. The extractor for YouTube is 3x the size of the next largest, and over 10-20x the size of most of the others. I want a small utility that just focuses on YouTube. A simpler solution instead of a massive project.

OpenBSD...

"Due to the increased usage of OpenBSD/amd64, as well as the age and practicality of most i386 hardware, only easy and critical security fixes are backported to i386. The project has more important things to focus on." [1]

OpenBSD includes their Xorg port in a base install, and you can run a reasonable graphical desktop on a 32bit machine. Firefox is not packaged for i386 I think. I just use Seamonkey when I test the 32 bit image now and again. There may be other package limitations relevant to server only use. Seems a rational approach to me.

Both drivers had been doing Uber for a long time, which would be surprising if they were getting ripped off.

If you need to buy food and put a roof over your child's head, you will put up with a lot of things. Being "ripped off" isn't really part of the equation: You can know you are being ripped off while still realizing this is the best way to provide for your child. Folks aren't working fast food for 20 years because they are getting treated well. Same with Uber drivers.
That's one of the reason we (humans, in various countries around the world) actually push 4 days workweek especially since the evolution of productivity and actual natural resource scarcity.

It will take time, of course, but that's the good target we can tray to reach, in the end basing social life around work is not that good for many reasons, specially when you do not like much a colleague but have to work with him/her etc.

City simulators seems to a large extent exist to reinforce the idea that cities == cars. It bores me.
In C it’s not when CHAR_BIT != 8.
It does depend on context though. Transports often use 8b/10b, which is why SATA 6Gb/s is also 600 MB/s.

A byte is also referred to the smallest addressable unit. Which in most cases is 8 bits but many (I guess mostly niche architectures) have much larger characters/bytes, and is still very much relevant.
"without those pesky women, gays and other minorities raising their voices."

Consult the calendar. When Joe Biden was young, the Sixties were in full swing and the voices you mention were already pretty loud. They didn't have overwhelming results yet, but the path towards them was already being very visibly trod.

What you describe was an even earlier world - and we do not have that many centenarians in positions of power. Queen Elizabeth is pretty much the only important head of state to be still surviving from that period.

Sounds like the person you're replying to worked in the vicinity of her business unit, and was bitter about her as a VP.

It's a common situation someone with good external credentials get parachuted into a role that they're ultimately not fit for, drove initiatives that only wasted resources, and left behind a mess that others had to clean up. All while they're hailed as Jesus's second coming.

I don't know how Fei Fei Li performed, and don't want to pass judgment on that matter. Just if that was indeed the case, I could understand the frustration. Companies would rather spend 10 million poaching someone useless and let them spend 100 million on something useless, than to invest the same in existing good engineers and scientists that continue to deliver. Even worse is to keep watching those people failing upwards. This is more commonly a stereotype for MBA executives, but is often also true for academics that get significant appointments outside a research institution without the experience of managing a business project.

It's not about patriotism - which is also the very reason for conflicts of the times.

It's just, that one should not rely upon the health of others. Germany realized that a long time ago. Did a lot to curb up their economical Situation and doing some serious reforms. Also, the whole people think in terms like "we're a social democracy".

Other EU-members, like the Southerns, they did not realize that. Actually, they see Europe as a Money-Transfer-mechanism and are not willing to change anything at all. They get the eu-money and make "presents" for their voters.

Of course it's the same in Germany and may be everywhere around the world - there need to be done some reforms in terms to set the railings of the future.

So you may see, that the wealth of Germany is something not falling from the sky, but rather is a result of people's work hours.

Germans do care. They "care" for all the members of the EU.
They already gave a lot of more of money. More than others in the EU. Poland and Germany take the biggest amount of refuges (with the latter, Poland, the biggest amount).

One also needs to understand that there is no "one has to start". It's already like that . Everyone is already paying a toll. The political decisions made, the sanctions - all that will cost us trillions. We're moving out of the tubed gas (energetically: stupid).
We're accepting the whole self-cutting..

So, actually, what is actually expected from Germany? To give heavy artillery? Tanks? Soldiers? LoL. After the second world war Germany has been demilitarized by the block-forces. That laws didn't change since then. We're not having big army. We can develop weapons and sell them. Ukraine got something like 1 billion from Germans with the words "we can't give you. But you can buy with that money what ever you need"

So ... They help. They suffering, too. What about the U.S. should pay Europe money, because the whole war wouldn't even have started without the U.S. keeping promising (and deliver) help? If Ukraine would know some other big players wouldn't help in conflict with the "big enemy", it would not come to such escalation at all.

So, why should everyone pay, deliver, kill contracts and kill their economy, when there is a clear misbehaving of the bigger politics? And why it have to be the Germans? :)
This is kind of "you have, me not, you help, I watch"

Political discussion is very necessary here.

Thank you very much for the discussion, and, truly, don't be sorry for hurting one's patriotism. If one is hurted soo much by (sometimes very true words) - that's not the guy who's gonna change anything in the world.

Cheers from Germany

And in well regulated market there would be supply even at that time. Maybe not sufficient, but still guaranteed supply. But oh well people didn't want that... Too bad for them for getting what they wanted.
> You don't need to take from others to be free. That is, in fact, the opposite of freedom.

But irrelevant: Things have already taken from others and they want it back.

> Equity is impossible without violence and restrictions on freedom.

Agreed, so because violence was used to obtain an UN-equitable position, they want it back.

(I feel a little bit like I'm repeating myself; what's another way to say this?)

People the color of your skin used violence to take people with different skin-colors freedoms and property, and they used it to finance schools and police forces that resulting in you opportunities or advantages that other people with other skin-colors no longer had the possibility of as a result. You don't deserve that advantage, and so they want it back.

> I mean positive rights cannot be established without evil. They should never exist, and any you can think of should be abolished.

If "positive rights" can also be established in response to evil, then I don't see why they cannot be used to correct for equity. Property-rights are enforced by taxes, so on some level, if these are "positive rights" then they're just like a minimum-wage law designed to correct previous evils. Maybe one day they will not be necessary and can be abolished, but in the meantime, I think we need them and I support them in that aim.

> It's not equitable that one person should be lame and another not: it only becomes equitable when we break the other person's legs.

I think that's fair. Your parents poison them which makes it more likely for them to be born lame, so I think it's perfectly fair to break your legs if you can't find another way to make that right.

I'd like to think I'm just trying to find another way that doesn't involve more violence; surely an expansion of minimum-wage is less violent than breaking your legs?

> If someone is willing to 'degrade themselves', why are you preventing them from doing so?

Why do I tell a slave that they do not need to be a slave? Gosh, again, people write papers on this stuff. We tell people they don't need to be slaves because that's how we stop slavery -- by making it so nobody believes they need to be a slave in order to survive. The only rights we have are the ones we can convince other people we have. I already said this, but you chose to narrowly interpret rights which will make it hard to understand why I can't help myself: I don't want to be a slave, I don't know what kinds of torture I would be able to refuse, but I don't think that would be a life worth living, so I tell anyone who will listing they don't need to be a slave.

> Well, and the opinion of people that don't like slavery and theft.

And yet here is someone who does not like slavery or theft, who does not have that opinion because I'm not a racist asshole.

See how that works? Don't characterize me. I don't deserve to have my supporting of taxation to be equated with supporting theft just because you don't like to pay taxes, any more than you deserve to be equated with other racist assholes just because you're quoting racist assholes. You want me to take you seriously? You have to do the same.
Holding people legally responsible for speech means censoring speech the Government doesn't like. Holding people legally responsible for relaying other people's speech as long as they don't relay all speech, is essentially the same thing as banning the selective relaying of speech. For example, it would be impossible for Twitter to determine if any factual claim about a person or company would be considered defamation before they relay it, so they would essentially be forced to leave the US if they didn't want to relay genocide advocacy or whatever else they may have a moral objection to help spread.

That's what I find so frustrating about this debate. The people who claim to support free speech actually support more censorship by the Government. They seem to want the Government to be the sole judge of what is acceptable to say. That's the exact opposite of what I want. I want for nobody to be prevented from saying anything and for nobody to be forced to help anyone say anything. Both of those rights are equally important parts of freedom of speech.
We have moderation under the law. If you discuss something or say something that crosses a line that we as a society have deemed to be a danger we have a fair system for that.

There’s a reason we have concepts like published laws, a jury of our peers, appeals processes, etc. Replacing that with hidden arbitrary rules that are interpreted differently from one day to the next, by faceless IT oligarchs that have no accountability, no observable appeal process, etc is dystopian. You have to ask yourself, if you’re no longer using the law to make the speech rules, who is making them?

If we had what we have now over the last 150 years, where any viewpoint that isn’t aligned with the establishment in power is banned, we wouldn’t have racial integration, women’s rights, gay rights, marijuana reform, all things the political establishment would have happily banned from discussion at one point.

We have multiple concrete examples where these IT companies have banned discussion of ideas that later turned out to be 100% legitimate. You were banned for discussing the lab leak theory, a year later Fauci comes out and says it’s very possible. The New York Post had its story about Hunter Biden’s laptop banned, possibly changing the results of the election, the NYT comes out later and says the laptop is real. Silicon Valley executives should not get to decide for society what is true and what is false and what we’re allowed to discuss.

The whole “private company” thing is fine when you’re not big enough to change the results of an election or steer the discourse of our entire society. Once you are big enough to do that, you need to be hands off, which is precisely why we have common carrier laws that legally ensure that outcome.
That's the point. The states aren't legalizing. They can't. Fed supercedes them. But at the state level they can't choose not to enforce state law, not to prosecute. And that's decriminalization.
