Remote work, not monetary compensation, seems to be the long term advantage that startups could have over large corporations.

The article highlights the rise in remote jobs. If large companies struggle to balance remote and in-office employees - startups can continue offering this as a very highly desirable perk.

Startups can't typically pay more than large corporations but they can appeal to flexibility in the workplace.

Hydro is even better, you can modify some dam, then pump water back before the dam, storing energy for later usage which make a very cheap energy storage.
Unpopular opinion: this could be a consumer benefit, although BMW doesn’t seem to quite have the value proposition exactly where I’d like it to be.

It’s cheaper to build fewer SKUs and variations of a product. The fact that the assembly line never has to change what they’re installing in the car could make heated seats cheaper in the first place.

BMW currently charges $500 for heated seats a la carte in the US, so that costs 1.76 times more than the 3 year subscription at $283. That means your breakeven point is at a little bit over 5 years, without considering present and future value of money.

I could see a lot of BMW owners being completely uninterested in owning the car after 5 years, with so many of them choosing to lease. It is a luxury car, after all.

Now, here’s the other thing, if you do the monthly plan, presumably you could unsubscribe in the summer. So that’s more like $54 a year if you need it for three months of the year. That puts your breakeven point at close to 10 years!

BMW does have a lifetime purchase option, too.

I hope these purchases are tied to the vehicle and not the owner, but I have my doubts on BMW being so benevolent.

I also think it would be ideal if hardware subscriptions like this would simply unlock once the car reaches a certain age to consider its depreciated status.

The term "data warehouse" is commonly used to define two different things:

1. The database where all business data for a wide swath of a company's operational groups relevant to reporting and analytics lands.

2. A specific type of database appliance/platform that is optimized for holding the type of data described above, which product is typically multi-node and often based around columnar storage of data. More recently these also emphasize ingesting or providing transparent access to to unstructured data (typically with functionality to push down queries to big data stores or other external data sources).

The first is an observation about use cases and is agnostic to technology. The second is a specific type of product that fills the use case of large instances of the first.

Wasm is too high level to implement your own tail calls. The WASM virtual machine handles the call stack & function calling convention, instead of being something that the code itself is responsible for. This means that the compiler can't implement tail calls; WASM doesn't allow a jump instruction in one function to jump into a different function.

There are a bunch of reasons why WASM was designed to be higher level than native assembly. One is that they want it to be more compact to save bandwidth when downloading via the internet. Another is that they want to make it faster to compile down to native code; one way they do this is that the control flow is more structured, for example it forbids irreducible control flow graphs. There is also the matter of safety. WASM defines several validation constraints that are checked before the bytecode is run e.g.: the target of a jump instruction must be listed in labels list. If WASM were too low level, it wouldn't be possible to do the safety checks they want.

Toyota makes money hand over fist selling decade behind the competition vehicles for high prices based on a premise of reliability that the overwhelming majority of buyers will not keep the car long enough to take advantage of and HN never misses an opportunity to praise them for it.

I feel very confident saying that the market for cars that don't include SAAS-esque BS subscriptions will be large enough to sustain a decent number of offerings in the same way that the sedan market is still healthy despite the crossover-ification of everything and the hatch market is stronger than it's been since the 90s.

Booking.com (or any other hotel/flight booking sites) are the masters of dark patterns. This is what happens when software is 'finished', companies start to optimize for profit, regardless of customer experience.

But unfortunately, it works.

I've seen friends that I consider intelligent panic buy tickets/hotels, "because prices are going up since the last time I checked!"

Next time you want to book anything, browse around, ignore any of the fake urgency notifications, ignore the price (while staying broadly in your price-range, of course). Then when you found a destination you like, open the page in a private browsing window (or clear your cookies), and you'll see that prices and availability are back to normal.

Given that, are the warnings a serious issue? If management keeps getting those and knows the workers are not at fault in this particular warehouse, the only reason to act on the warnings is political. which yes, might well be an issue, but just the number of warnings issued is meaningless without knowing how they're acted upon.
Leverage can show you a short term source of revenue, but what we're saying here is a few things: Firstly, they're still going to be paying the fees and spread, so they're still losing tonnes on fees (and this is massive volume per day). That's just not sustainable, especially if people are getting wiped out with these pump and dumps, if it's done against people on leverage someone is going to be stuck holding the bag.

> instead of waving down a taxi in the street.

That has never existed in any of the 3 countries I have lived in. Taxis were always ordered by phone. At least since the 1960s drivers were offered trips via radio by the taxi switchboard, in 2000s the available trips appeared on a screen on the dashboard.

Well, it might depend also on the density, but at least outside of massive city centers some kind of booking has always been required.

> None of that requires either Uber specifically or a ruthless gig-worker model

Exactly.

> a clear argument for why app-powered taxis in general should be able to bring taxi prices down

We are on HN, so I assume few would resist to use IT to optimize a problem. However, my expectations of how much such systems really save costs in the end would be rather moderate. Don't underestimate human optimization if experienced drivers pick their rides from a list. As mentioned, technology for that has existed since the 1960s. Does Uber really offer anything better for the driver?

Heated seats is a luxury, sure. But what about music? Kitchen appliances? Movies and TV? Productivity software? Transportation?

The situation is positively feudal, people are sharecropping increasingly large parts of their lives. And the lords sit in their castles, surrounded by yes-men, pushing the limits of legality and ignoring the cries of the people that make their businesses happen.

I strongly disagree with this. An efficient market requires that consumers have accurate information available to them in order to compare prices, just as an efficient market requires a government that prevents outright fraud.

Retail businesses spend a lot of effort manipulating the customer experience using A/B testing: they understand that there's a time and information asymmetry between business and consumer, and so they go to great lengths to withhold pertinent information so that the consumer can't compare prices before shopping. A standard technique is to advertise one price, then tack on unadvertised "fees" that only appear later in the checkout process once a consumer has invested significant time and effort into the order. An even uglier one (hey DoorDash) is to advertise a "delivery fee" up front and then later present a separate line item labeled "taxes and fees" that contains a second portion of the delivery fee (previously unadvertised and also labeled in a deceptive way.)

If you want to let businesses mislead consumers without limit, then you might as well build a society that legalizes false or fraudulent advertising entirely: that's close to what these businesses are doing here.

While forced slavery is not mainstream with libertarians, you'll be hard pressed to find a libertarian that wouldn't be ok with someone signing a slavery/indentured servitude contract. That's what "abolishing the minimum wage" IS. It's about allowing slavery. [1]

> The real reason that the minimum wage is wrong is because the government should possess no authority to interfere with the employer/employee wage agreement or contract.

As for child sex workers, there are 2 simple questions to ask a libertarian that will reveal where they stand there.

1. Do you think prostitution should be legal?

2. Do you think a 17 year old should be able to prostitute themselves? How about 16? How about 15? How about... You'll pretty quickly find a line that isn't a clear 18 or 21.

It's seems like a strawman, but it isn't. You don't get to advocate for deregulation and allowing for anyone to contract for anything (a core tenant of libritarianism) without running into these issues.

Do you order stuff on Amazon, ever? Any other big retail shop? Buying only fair-trade food if its not from your neighbor farmer? Dressed only in provably ethically sourced cotton?

And I presume you obviously don't use those pesky child-labor-by-Foxconn phones/other devices like Apple; heck it would be hard to find any electronic device using ie rare metals that were sourced by standards you seemingly want others to adhere to. So I presume you typed this on some wooden computer sending pigeon packets.

We can go much deeper. You will inevitably fail eventually the same standards you are expecting from others here, probably pretty quickly. Its just about which battle one decides to pick up and push hard enough. You picked Uber for some reason, others for around gazillion reasons stated in this thread do not consider them the most important topic given the overall benefits to whole society.
I tried a few but eventually decided to run my own (for incoming).

Fastmail was the best. They have IMAP integrated with contacts and calendaring. Sieve filtering and good webui. The main reason I left them is that they were rejecting (not just spam-folder) important mail, even if I whitelisted the domain by adding a contact. I contacted support and it took them forever to get back and when they finally did they basically said "nope, we will reject those, you are wrong about what spam is". It didn't leave a good taste in my mouth.

Migadu was pretty good but I had trouble getting my catchall accounts working how I wanted too.

MXroute was very opinionated and I didn't agree with all of their opinions. They pretty readily block large blocks of IPs or senders so you will miss mail. They also don't believe in Bayesian spam filtering and it shows as a lot of spam ends up in your inbox. So not only was I missing mail I wanted I was getting a lot of mail I didn't. They also have 5 webmails that aren't well integrated as well as 2 address books and 2 calendars. They seem to really like trying new things but miss out on integration such as using my address book for spam filtering. On the upside the support was fast and direct. I appreciate the clarity of the responses. I think there are some people who would love this provider but their choices don't work well for me.

While I can't recommend it I ended up managing my own incoming mail. Spam was surprisingly barely an issue. RSpamd with default settings is working excellently. Basically I dumped my spam folder (1 month) and archive (many years) into the spam learning and it has been doing an excellent job. The flexibility of running your own mail-server is also nice because I can do things like signed addresses for giving out different emails to different companies.

I mean, I don't really care about "ownership" of my social graph. What I would care about is interoperability of it. If I can move my graph and associated links from service to service that would be great. But that's basically just a defined format for an "address book" with a unique identifier for each person on it. I'm not sure what value blockchain is adding there.

Some of it stuck to the outside of spacesuits and/or robots when they went outside. Neither should be going beyond some intermediate garage area anyway, just like you don't usually park your car in the bedroom.

The airlock door? There's no wind on the moon, so it won't blow inside on its own.

Well, I'd assume that once your vacuum cleaners are full you'd take a moon-lorry and dump the lot into a nearby crater or something. If it's as sharp as advertised, the sharp edges might make it well-suited for use in concrete as well.

In any case you don't have to keep the entire moon clean, only the inside of the base. It doesn't seem to be a terrible burden to clean the suits and rovers after every expedition, more like something that you plan to do anyway because you want to keep those expensive things well-maintained.

Throwing in my 2 cents to agree with apignotti - as someone who has implemented a compiler for a functional language that emits wasm, it is not possible to solve this performantly in the compiler.

Because wasm only has structured control flow & no way for user code to modify the wasm stack, there isn't any good way to tail call between multiple independent functions, particularly dynamic function calls. Simple tail recursion of a function calling itself is simple enough and can be implemented in the compiler (and I did), but that's it, and not enough to correctly implement Scheme, for instance.

I also want the wasm standard to remain as simple as possible, but this isn't a very complex addition and it is required for reasonable performance for both functional languages as well as C++20 features like coroutines, as mentioned by the article.

>Europeans have [...] Six weeks of guaranteed vacation that people actually take.

That is false. EU mandates minimum 4 weeks of PTO across all members but varies wildly according to country, sector and company.

In most EU countries I've seen the average tends to hover around 5 weeks while 6 weeks or more is usually for very generous employers trying to attract top applicants in employee friendly countries.

I get you're attempting a jab at Americans by flashing large number of PTO, but let's be realistic that 6 weeks is not the norm in for all jobs in the whole of Europe.

You are correct. I will figure out two things.

1. Why our fancy expensive mailing/marketing tool (Intercom) does not spread these messages in a relaxed fashion (it should)

2. If of those five messages, maybe two were the obligatory "confirm your email" and standard "Welcome to Checkly, this is what we do"

TL;DR we should not spam.
Well yes. Strategically, it makes all kinds of sense for them to force people who want to run Linux into their walled garden. Sure, you can run Linux, as long as it's safely contained inside Windows, an approved version, and preferably running something that requires Windows above you (e.g. DirectX inside WSL being a thin shim).

However, what makes sense for Microsoft may not be in our best interest.
Let me be even broader and more cynical: everything a company does is ultimately to maximize profit.
