Even worse, the person behind you might fail the brake check. I can't believe people are knowingly operating faulty autopilots on public roads. If my car randomly braked I would take it to the mechanic - not continue to drive it.
“A temporary $2 fee will be added to offset macroeconomic pressures.”

Hey Mr. Restauranteur, guess what, I also suffer from macroeconomic pressures. I'll have $5 plz. Gotta offset.

That doesn't eliminate the gap between the date you sign the contract and the date you start your new job. Unless you can quit without giving notice.
It's less "good intentions" and more butthurt that the tank that they work on isn't as powerful in the game as they think it should be.

Think of a sports fan complaining that their favorite player is rated too low by Madden or FIFA's video game representation of the stats. "Whaddya mean that Justin Herbert is only rated 91, he should be rated 97!" Except instead of pointing to some box scores on ProFootballReference to attack the naysayers, you leak classified intelligence.

How's ripping out and replacing existing infrastructure going to reverse climate change? Not to mention that CA is about to have a lot of electricity shortages that will likely necessitate the burning of gas to generate it.
Atom was doing great and I was happy with it until VS code started to create nuclear winter, freezing other efforts.

I will gladly pay a premium for someone to offer me I real VS Code alternative.

I had much worse results with radar several years than I do now with the FSD that doesn’t use radar anymore, so I don’t think radar is the necessary solution here
You should try Haskell. It has everything Rust has (and much more) and it also has a garbage collector. I prefer it to ocaml.
I don't follow this, either logically or in practice.

Granted I've never dated as a gay man or as a lesbian, but from what I've observed it seems to me a much smoother and more mutual process than straight dating. I've even heard from bi men about how much easier and less stressful it is to date men than women. AFAICT when both parties are on a level playing field, and there's not a massive asymmetry in power, interest, and investment, there's a lot less grief overall.

> edit: I mean, isn't that Bumble?

Bumble is a valiant attempt to fix this issue but it seems to mostly be a failure. An average man may occasionally get a message (which will usually just say "hi"), but the asymmetry in interest is still there, and it's still mostly men's responsibility to do the real initiating.
Back to the Future: The DeLorean Returns as the All-Electric Alpha5
YEP. We're very much in this camp. We cooled on VC for the last 2-3 years just to work through deep tech + business fundamentals in the graph space with good customers. That was very much against the grain because adjacent companies (graph DBs, while we are compute-tier graph intelligence) were raising megarounds to do self-similar things with little effective relative differentiation from the perspective of customers. By us instead focusing on things like category creation, profitability, & ease of use, each customer & hire now means growing the pie, not digging the hole deeper. That included some very unsexy things like valuing solutions engineers to work closely with customers to truly tackle their problems.

Maybe a good time to say: That also means we are now getting way more enterprise/gov customers than ability to support them, so if you are into rapids.ai (gpu dataframes), dask, seaborn, streamlit, igraph, graph neural nets, etc. esp for tricky core graph problems like detecting fraud, security breaches, mapping supply chains, ... plz email build@graphistry.com :)
It's not a fine. It's what Uber owes in social security back payments as well as other obligations to their drivers, for instance, compulsory accident insurance.
Yes! If you were raising at 100x ARR it means that $1 of ARR generated $100 of market value. In that sense, it made sense to burn $100 to acquire $1 of revenue. Of course, when the reversion to the mean hit and companies trade at 7x ARR, it doesn't make sense to spend that much. Unfortunately, most startups won't be able to adapt their expenses to this new environment.

Seems to me such a system must make it expensive to claim to have a crush on someone. Otherwise Bob can just claim to have a crush on everyone and will find out who crushes on him.
Modern platforms should always keep a banhammer nearby to quickly and severely punish malicious behavior from apps.

I wish there was a platform that combined the app containment prowess of Apple platforms with the spam containment prowess of Google platforms.

The last one closed in 2017 though. Even though a restaurant remained in the Lake George location, it wasn't operating as Howard Johnson's, per the article. It's sorta like how Voyager keeps leaving the solar system, I guess?
We seem to be discussing different scenarios.

In my example, a formal vote is partially done electronically, and partially through paper votes: large discrepancies in results between those two groups could be indicative of interference (small variation is to be expected). I am not talking of unofficial polls which can never produce a representative sample of people.

Point of formal voting is to elect a government that the majority of voters prefer. Many countries have a problem with voter turnout, so you rarely get any one party or coalition winning more than 20-30% of the eligible votes, yet they get majority control of the government.

Point of electronic voting should be to increase the turnout without decreasing the trustiness. It's not an easy problem to solve, but it's not insurmountable.

Electronic votes can be decentralized as well: final tallying is centralized with any approach, but it can similarly remain open to questioning.
I've dipped into the shallows of the SIMH project now and then over the years, though not much over the past year or so. What was the situation that led to this?
I had to google "Ceasar Chavez on Easter Sunday" to find out what you are talking about. Seems like a storm in an easter egg. I 100% see why google would prefer to celebrate a national hero instead of celebrating a religion that a portion of the population care about.
Good for us as consumers, not for Uber biz haha!
This is not one of economics. There are plenty of drivers willing to drive for Uber under the current arrangement.

This is a legal issue, a burden which falls to legislators and their constituents.

As someone with formal education plus getting on for 20 years in the field I've often wondered whether the software really needs to be so damned hard to use! I like the interface and I think nobody has yet conclusively cracked the problem of providing a super simple map creation app, so I wish you luck and think it looks interesting.

I'm interested to know options for import and export of data/maps? Can data be sourced from a database? Also why should someone use Felt instead of AGOL, mapbox etc? And what support do you offer for open APIs e.g. OGC? What integration options do you offer e.g. API for scripting creation of maps - or are the maps always envisaged to be manually created?
While the erratic behavior of Tesla’s autopilot might cause other drivers to be more cautious are them, I don’t think you should count this in Tesla’s favor. Imagine if every self thriving car company started adding code to scare other drivers, that would definitely have unwanted side effects.
That's what I meant by

> the factor of control is why people are more comfortable with that failure mode, than a failure mode which may be more unpredictable.

There are situations in which control mitigates risk, and there are situations in which it doesn't. While the average crash rate is relevant to public health, it's really irrelevant to someone who is dead.
Have you made an appointment to get it repaired?
We should be approaching the problem from all avenues, so I agree. But this campaign that ordinary people shouldn't arsed to do anything because it won't make a difference is absurd.
Generating electricity with natural gas is not surprisingly more efficient than cooking with natural gas.

Also, in California, less than half of the electricity is produced by natural gas.
I would argue that swift is pretty distant compared to the ML family of languages - specifically Haskell. Besides garbage collection, the biggest difference between Haskell and Rust is that Haskell already has higher kinded types.
I think it’s likely that they just figured out how much revenue/profit they wanted, and then applied the math to their customer base and calculated 7 as the magical number.
they would send push notifications in their own applications to get support for a referendum and then support for a popular vote on it, just like they did in California

Prius will regen slowly when you take your foot off the gas. Just like a Tesla. The difference is that Teslas regen aggressively, so you really notice the deceleration, whereas a Prius will not start major regen braking until you press on the brakes.

If you have the energy flow view up on the screen, you can see the power going from the motor/generator to the battery when you release the gas.
You can return structs to an allocation pool ring buffer by writing a custom implementation of the Drop trait. If you do that, almost anything can be zero-allocation. In Zig you can control the allocator as a first-class citizen and, I think, are meant to do things like that.
I've never had this happen on my 2017 Forester either in ~30,000 miles of highway driving with the adaptive cruise (the Subaru system is fully vision-based with no radar).

The one issue I've noticed is that it sometimes hits the brakes for cars that are obviously exiting the highway because a tiny sliver of the car is still technically in the driving lane, so I've learned to keep my foot over the gas pedal to override it in that case. The amount of braking isn't scary though, it's just annoying because there's no need to slow down at all.
I did the same.

I never had a thing for good spellers.

Gas and (real) rangetop extraction are definitely things that I consider, but I do love to cook. An inductive stove-top would be fine, but a resistive one would be a huge negative for me.
An actual zero-knowledge way to do that would be the Socialist Millionaires' Protocol.
I mean, this’ll work, but it’s more in line with giving a man a fish instead of teaching him to fish.

This is a good point, but utility/housing bans, lead paint bans, electrical wiring standards, and so on, are often less about someone individually harming themself, and more about having a standard minimum quality/safety level for houses being sold, as well as for protection for other family members/kids.

Back to the lead paint example, there's something of an argument to be made that if you want to handle lead, you should be able to. But it's nice for everyone else to not have to wonder if the house they're buying is a toxic death trap that will cognitively affect their children.

Similarly, if gas stoves do significantly reduce air quality in a way that matters (again, that's an if), I don't think it's too unreasonable to impose restrictions on people renting out properties or building houses.

When we talk about how much harm a regulation is preventing, we treat harm that comes from informed consent as less dire than harm that comes from uninformed action or as a result of other people's choices that an individual had no control over. A lot of building codes and standards have impacts on not just harms that come from informed consent, but also on other people as well who might just want to know that their kitchen isn't silently harming them.

There's nothing wrong with only wanting to reveal a crush if it's somewhat returned. If it isn't, you're just putting them in an uncomfortable position for no good reason.
Young people don't want to control and be at the helm of things, they want to consume, consume, consume. Possibly doing the least amount of work per unit of consumption.

Thanks for your comment. I agree for SaaS companies that mostly sell to startups, but SaaS selling to big enterprise customers should be fine.
> I take Uber and Lyft pretty frequently and I ask every single driver I ride with how they feel and almost unaminously they say they prefer being contract because they can just take rides whenever they please.

You're...really naive. They're telling you that because they need as close to a perfect rating as they can get or they risk being booted. Or they fear you're a 'mystery shopper.'

Do you ask service workers "So, your boss a good boss?" or "Is this a good place to work?"? If so, please don't. It was easily the most infuriating thing customers did when I was working a service job.

Edit: just to add on:

One, every person answers the same, which should be a warning sign on its own. It just so happens to be Uber's line. Warning sign.

Two, the nicest thing they can find to say is "flexible hours." Another warning sign.

Three (related): guess what is the hallmark of a shitty job listing? "Flexible hours."
I am a fan of this, not because I agree with all the words, but because we live in an amazing global technicalogival world, and that sprang from a certain financial / fiscal culture in the 19C - and that US/UK culture (laissez faire, government investment in infrastructure etc), and that culture is incredibly valuable, but it is not the only way of arranging taxation, government spending and private investment.

The fact we are talking about Mittelstand is notice that the German approach (arch enemy of UK/US culture through 19C) might suggest a wider phase space than is feared.

We should try something. While the benefits of steam/oil/electricity/silicon/pharmacy are great there are downsides to how we have arranged our societies - and it would be good to explore some of those options rather than say "the solution is always to copy USA, see Meijei for details".

(no this is not some anti-USA rant)

I personally think taking the SoftBank fund and attempting to launch a million startups globally is just as likely to get us results the OP is talking about (even if that's because kicking off 500,000 new companies between Chennai and Jakarta is going to do something, and it cannot be a worse ROI than WeWork

But whatever, there is a phase space outside the standard approach here.

VC is going to be good for taking fundamental tech breakthroughs and pushing them into the public - but the fundamental tech break thoughts have almost always come from
government funded programs (transistors, pharmacy (mid-19C chemistry) etc) - so we should not forget that just more VC is unlikely to solve the big problems (sorry people who want to fix fusion on VC money.

Weirdly Turbine engines might be the best privately funded example. But that basically was a rich guy funding his own itch. That's not a good bet (or as a UK citizen a good way to run a country)

Anyway I am rambling so - yeah go for it. spread the money around as best we can - give it not to the rich or those with success behind them but find other indicators (phd might be one, just lucky is another, old and still passionate if you can measure that or helll just helicopter money in.

Try goddammit because none of us are taking it with us.
I really wish we could go back in time to 1991 and convince guido to include braces like this.

So I have to take my eyes off the road after my car just phantom braked in order to touch the 0.5x0.5 inch "Report" button on the 15" touchscreen outside my field of view?

This, from what I gathered the Librewolf fork is way better at this: https://librewolf.net/
One thing that I think works against businesses expanding right now -- even profitable businesses -- is that with it having been like 12+ years since anyone worked in a bad macro environment is that nobody really knows how their company behaves in a recession. Like, sure, you're profitable right now, but right now we're not in a recession, the bad times are pretty limited to just the tech sector. If the whole economy does go into recession, do your customers vanish on you? Even if you were around in 2008, your business is probably different now in 2022, and you don't really know what the pressures are going to be like.

In this environment, I think lots of companies that have fundamentally sound businesses are still going to be very conservative.

(Not disagreeing with you, exactly, just adding more thoughts and some context for why it's not enjoyable to work in a bad macro even if your business is ultimately the healthier for it.)
All infrastructure is going to be upgraded at some point. Why wouldn't we make sure the new stuff has fewer externalities?

It will take a generation to upgrade every kitchen. These sort of "start the incremental change" ordinances need to happen at some point. Might as well start now.
How is this significantly better than the parent comment of attaching one filter to a box fan?
He disagrees, but it's not about the mathematics.

The "cold and thin" vs warm and thick lies on the nonlinearities, the subtle saturation you get on tape/vinyl, the patina, even the tactility. The ease of skipping makes it even worse.

And that's before we've got to the cultural changes in attitudes towards music between the vinyl/tape and the cd/streaming eras (where music, which was king, is now just another passtime for teens), nor the changes in musical content.

I think a lot of people transgressed at that age. I, for one, benefitted from being granted a bit of leeway. My transgressions actually taught me to not WANT to break the law which I think is better than just not breaking the law because that’s what’s expected and one has never considered the alternative.

Mozilla gets the majority of their revenue from Google paying them to keep their search engine as the default. I'm OK with this: the search engine is visible every time you use it, so it's impossible to "forget" to change it if you care about privacy, and the setting is relatively easy to find and change. Also, without this funding, Firefox would likely not exist. It's the price we pay for a good, free browser.

Of course, many have postulated that Google's motivation to pay Mozilla all that money is actually to ensure that Mozilla remains in business, rather than to directly increase Google's own revenue with the added search traffic. By keeping Mozilla in business, Google can more convincingly argue that they do not have a monopoly on browsers. It may be the case that without this argument, Chrome could be subject to regulations that could benefit consumer privacy, but after watching all the recent congressional hearings involving big tech companies, I have very little faith in that happening any time soon. It's better to keep Mozilla around for now, and the only way to do that without turning Mozilla into another Google is for Google to essentially subsidize them.
Interesting counter-example though. The aggressive default settings of LibreWolf do break quite a few websites.
