To say "no-one is complaining" is factually wrong, since there have been multiple Uber strikes throughout the world over the last couple of years on these very issues. And I have spoken to Uber drivers that are complaining.

Whether they represent a majority of Uber drivers or just a noisy minority is more difficult.
Roughly 5 Billion people, or more, rely on the Haber process to turn hydrocarbons in nitrogen fertiliser so they can eat.

Carrying capacity of the earth before this mass manufacture of artificial fertiliser was maxxed out at around 1.5B, maybe with better plant strains that could be edged up, but not by 500% you would think.

We are still a fair way off from green steel, we are going to need metallurgical coal for some time, unless you like driving a wooden car pulled by a horse.

And alumina and lithium are both gas heavy in refining at the front end, needing calcination at 1000 DegC, plus or minus.

Then there is plastic, from lighter fractions of liquid hydrocarbons in many cases (condensate) - I can't believe you are still allowed to buy water in a plastic bottle or food in a plastic container that's a once use, that's crazy.

Hydrocarbons aren't going to become non-existent parts of the industrial landscape if any kind of life as we know it is to continue - we just need to start by stopping stupid waste in transient use cases like once use water bottles and food containers, decorative wrapping, short lived non repairable consumer appliances and goods, and synthetic fabrics that are made into clothes that could last for years or even decades, but get disposed of after 10 or 20 wears because of "fashion" or poor manufacture renders them useless in this time.

Growing up in New Zealand in the 70's, if someone had tried to warn that in the future you would be paying for drinking water (any water actually), by the half litre and more expensive than petrol in some cases, and you would get a free bottle that you immediately discarded when you finished drinking from it, you would have been ignored as a fringe lunatic at best, and may well have been taken in for some kind of assessment. And yet some decades later, here we are.
Ohhh, they did a lot more then just braking taxi laws. According to this leak they engaged in illegal lobbying (which I would simply call bribery), and evidence tampering.

> No, in Switzerland. Instead it managed to steal almost a billion USD from drivers in Switzerland alone and give others the "idea" they can break the law too.

It seems that this ~billion USD is an hypothetical amount Uber would have had to pay if its contractors had been employees? If so, I'm not quite sure "steal" is the appropriate word here. It also ignores the many things Uber might have done differently if its drivers had been employees: increase fare rates, decrease driver payouts, hire less drivers, possibly get out of Switzerland entirely, etc.
I think that could be a good question to ask a security company before hiring them, what tools do they use.
Considering that would already be illegal, as the comment you're replying to states, I don't agree that has any relevance to this new law.

So, when a cop walks up to you, and tells you to stop filming, and you tell him that you've read the law, and he tells you that he knows the law, and that you need to stop filming, or he will arrest you, who do you think will come out the winner of this curbside legal debate?

What do you think will happen to you?

What do you think will happen to the officer when we discover that his legal interpretation is incorrect?

The police don't actually need to know the law they are enforcing. And it's no sweat off their backs when they are wrong about the details.
This is my experience too. The ride is only as good or as bad as the driver makes it and I have more trust in a system where a number of local taxi companies compete for my business than one massive far-away corporation that somehow can't geofence.

In Copenhagen Uber made a splash until they decided they didn't get all they wanted when the taxi legislation was liberalised and they left. My reading of it is that they didn't want to give other European countries ideas and they were losing money anyways, so it wasn't really worth it to subject themselves to the same kind of regulation that exists in London or New York.

And what did we get instead? 5-10 different taxi apps offering taxis at much the same speed it takes to get an Uber, but regulated locally and paying taxes. It's literally a question of installing a different (or multiple different) app and then the flow is the same.

The kicker: Uber came to Denmark late enough that the taxi companies already had apps (or at least some of them which was then the ones I used). Ultimately it was just a big fight over nothing and Uber left with red numbers and a bad image.
Because some of us live in the world of reality, were cops only tangentially know the laws, unfairly enforce the laws, and this law will give the police the perception that any recording with in 8 feet of them is illegal and will be enforced as such even if not technically true

The law will be abused by the cops on the ground, this is 100% a sure thing going to happen, it will be used to ruin someone life. I mean that legitimately because unlike popular opinion of internet commenters on the law, a simple arrest can have life alter consequences including job loss, you could end able on any number of mug shot sites that could impact your ability to be hired get rental property, all kinds of things.

Let alone if you are convicted under this law, or if they try to arrest you can you reflexively pull your arm away... bam now your a felon resisting arrest...

So keep "reading the one page law" and if you think it is no issue I would encourage you to go record on some police at 8.1 feet way, do that enough I am sure you will have a different opinion in just a few interactions

The law was obviously written in bad faith, and you are just rationalizing it.

I agree we should probably say "licenses" and not "medallions" when talking about policies all over the world, it's just that medallions are known as the worst example of corruption and regulatory capture, protecting incumbents while incredibly claiming this helped stranded people who need to get home when no taxis can be found.

At the peak these licenses were going for a million dollars each.

I think Uber, Lyft, and others are serving a great good in substituting for taxis in filling the need for road travelers. Taxi drivers may argue that the drivers are being abused, but we can't all have (nor do we all want) jobs with lots of protections.

Being a driver should be a job anyone could take while on the road to reaching their dreams in life, and not restricted to a lucky few who demanded the government give them a monopoly on the gig.
I don't think you understand software development and architecture underlying all these distinct games. Basically you complain all over this discussion just about anything mods and community mean, expecting to be given 100% working game with unlimited amount of mods on top of each other, for free, consistently, across all official releases, with unlimited support forever.

That's an impossible task to put it lightly, especially if folks do it just because they love the game and see its potential beyond current limitations, but otherwise have real life to live. Exactly kind of user that's so demotivating to modders actually doing the work.

Comparing to Linux is ridiculous - its a single software thats here for 50+years (if I count where it all started), and various commercial companies + hobbyists invested tens of millions of man-days to get it into current state.

How do you cheat at chess? Serious question… there are fixed rules that govern the game, certainly a piece of software or in the human case 3rd party observer should be able to enforce them? In other words, given a list of moves, you can write a program that returns `valid` if the set of moves is allowed or `invalid` if it is not, no?

Actually it's probably the opposite. Using animal models can lead to drugs that are not safe or effective for humans and it can lead to drugs being rejected that might have been safe or effective. 92% of drugs which prove promising in animal trials fail in human clinical trials.
The law is dumb and redundant (you can get in trouble for interfering just fine with the laws on the books today). This is plain and simple intimidation.

I was ready to comment something like "meh, you shouldn't be getting that close to them anyway." But you're right, it's already a law to not interfere. Whether you're recording or not shouldn't matter. Unless maybe they needed specific numbers because it is limiting a first amendment right.

Stanford had to do all kinds of shit to make its way up the rankings, the Termans in particular, just pulling all the stops on the way to number 1. It got $80,000 in WW2 when in contrast Caltech got $120,000,000. As Steve Blank put it, DoD (then Department of War) had no respect for Stanford engineering. They just plucked Terman put him in charge at Harvard. Harvard Radio Lab. It used to be bombers didn't get through, Terman changed that, after WW2, "the bomber will always get through." Then he plucked 8 guys from the Harvard Radio Lab, made them Stanford professors, and that's when Stanford started getting...a little bit of respect. It helped his best students became strong entrepreneurs like he wanted them to be, AND were generous--David Packard becoming Stanford's greatest benefactor in fact, in particular donating directly to the Stanford Endowment so the University could do whatever it thought was best--and having a long-lasting string of successes. This longevity was based on Stanford engineering graduates.

There's other colleges named after whomever, anybody, and they don't go anywhere. There's a lot of cooperation required, a lot of people refusing to let each and every other one of them down.

Oral vancomcyin for primary sclerosing cholangitis
Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a serious rare disease for which there is no recognized effective treatment. Oral vancomycin has shown substantial promise, but the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease is just about to issue guidance that it should be used only in clinical trials. Why this is happening is unclear.

My daughter was diagnosed at age 17 and suffered for 10 years from fatigue, persistent diarrhea, terrible itching, elevated liver enzymes, and abnormal MRI of her bile ducts. We heard from another parent about oral vancomycin, and convinced her doctor to try it. Within a few weeks, she had the first formed stools she had had in 10 years. Her itching resolved, and eventually her liver enzymes returned to normal, her colitis resolved completely, and even her MRCP returned to almost normal. I am personally aware of multiple other such stories. She has ben asymptomatic now for 6 years.

Vancomycin doesn't work for everybody, and doesn't work for most patients who have IBD without PSC.

But to restrict it to clinical trials, as the new AASLD guidance does, when there is no demonstrated harm, is misguided. Insurance companies are already starting to deny coverage. Physicians should be allowed to use their judgment, with consent of the patient.

They didn't state the bloggers were making the calculations. The bloggers noted are pro Uber.

If you're going to just dismiss someone's point through an appeal to sentiment, you might as well get it right. Or maybe getting what was said right doesn't matter, and just recasting it as elitist as a tactic is the point.

> Perhaps we need an army of (paid?) dogsbodies to manually go through every paper ever published and assess the sentiment behind each citation?

This is similar to what SciFinder, a database created by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) does for every paper. They have a substantial team that parses through every journal of significance where chemical research might be published. They are searching for chemical structures and substances and encoding each structure within their proprietary database. That database offers a concrete value to researchers at companies, universities, and law firms, whether looking for prior art or simply the most reliable methods of synthesis. Hence that product is greatly valued by those who use it and they can pay for people to do the complex task of indexing those papers.

While the idea of determining the sentiment of references is interesting, I'm skeptical whether there is nearly the same level of potential commercial value in creating such a database. It would be useful for reviewing grant applications, but those reviewers tend to be experts who already know if a paper received negative attention in the literature or even just on Twitter.
Text of the Bill (https://www.azleg.gov/legtext/55leg/2R/laws/0376.htm):

> 13-3732. Unlawful video recording of law enforcement activity; classification; definition

> > A. It is unlawful for a person to knowingly make a video recording of law enforcement activity if the person making the video recording is within eight feet of where the person knows or reasonably should know that law enforcement activity is occurring, either receives or has previously received a verbal warning from a law enforcement officer that the person is prohibited from making a video recording OF A LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY within eight feet of THE activity and CONTINUES TO MAKE A video recordING OF the law enforcement activity WITHIN EIGHT FEET OF THE ACTIVITY. If the law enforcement activity is occurring in an enclosed structure that is on private property, a person who is authorized to be on the private property may make a video recording of the activity from an adjacent room or area that is less than eight feet away from where the activity is occurring, unless a law enforcement officer determines that the person is INTERFERING in the law enforcement activity or that it is not safe to be in the area and orders the person to leave the area.

> > B. notwithstanding subsection A of this section, a person who is the subject of police contact may record the encounter if the person is not interfering with lawful police actions, including searching, handcuffing or administering a field sobriety test. The occupants of a vehicle that is the subject of a police stop may record the encounter if the occupants are not interfering with lawful police actions.

> > C. this section does not establish a right or authorize any person to make a video recording of law enforcement activity.

> > D. A violation of this section is a class 3 misdemeanor.

> > E. For the purposes of this section, "law enforcement activity" means any of the following:

> > > 1. Questioning a suspicious person.

> > > 2. Conducting an arrest, issuing a summons or enforcing the law.

> > > 3. Handling an emotionally disturbed or disorderly person who is exhibiting abnormal behavior.
> Read the law.

I did, or at least tried to. That's why I put "enforcing the law" in quotes.

Maybe I read the wrong law? In https://www.azleg.gov/legtext/55leg/2R/laws/0376.pdf, the definition of "law enforcement activity" includes this, from section E(2):

> CONDUCTING AN ARREST, ISSUING A SUMMONS OR ENFORCING THE LAW

My point is that "enforcing the law" seems like a very broad umbrella. Prior to this law being written, I think I'd be on OK ground if I was filming an arrest from 10 feet away and an unrelated police officer came up to me and told me to stop.

Now, it's less clear to me. The officer who comes up and tells me to stop clearly thinks he is enforcing the law. Am I now breaking the law if I don't stop recording?
> The US (famously) does not have Allies, only temporary allegiances.

Far from me to defend American imperialism, but this is not true, is it? The USA has a decent list of long standing alliances, that include a variety of countries: Japan, Australia, Canada, UK, South Korea, among others.

I've seen plenty of released bodycam footage where they basically do; usually some form of white-knighting for the arrestee. But this is likely heavily influenced by a form of observation bias, where footage which shows police "under attack"[0] is more likely to be released than footage of cops behaving badly.

[0] usually it isn't terribly violent and the danger comes mostly from distraction; despite ACAB I do have some sympathy for the police in these situations

I think that one major issue here is that while you and I likely have the time and other resources to go fight something like this if it were to occur, many of the people for whom this law will be most relevant (areas where the most police activity occurs are often in impoverished areas) do not have that same luxury.

If you're barely scrapping by on an hourly job, and then get picked up or fined for this, oftentimes your only option is to accept the plea so you can get out of the courtroom and try to get back to work.

This law serves to provide a means for the police to place that burden on people who cannot bear it.

I’m sorry, but what would “non-physical interference” even mean in this context? Should a police officer be allowed to arrest me for interference because my tone is insufficiently deferential, hurting their feelings and thereby impairing their abilities?

Even physical interference is an extremely broad standard, encompassing everything from “resisting” to simply failing to move out of the way fast enough for their tastes.

Absent a specific example of “non-physical interference” actually interfering with a police activity, the entire category seems pretextual and ripe for abuse.
There's nothing that prevents an investor class from existing in cryptocurrency, too. I could give someone a loan of 100 $ETH to go start a corrupt Bitcoin tumbler, or convince a few venture capitalists to invest in a wash trading exchange. Cryptocurrency has no safeguards against that behavior, because it is administratively trustless and and judicially blind. That's a good idea for some purposes, but as a reliable store of value it's a snipe chase. Parasites will always exist as long as there's money to be made, and much like you revealed in your previous comment, starting a cryptocurrency is exceptionally lucrative if you can convince people it will be worth something.

Frankly, I'd rather have a parasite class than a class that relies on thievery, scamming and miscommunication to make their money. Parasites extract money from businesses. Crypto totalitarians extract money from the working class.
I believe this is most of all about stopping filming by drivers during traffic stops. It is impossible to be 8 feet away while sitting in the driver seat during a traffic stop.
