I'm torn about this, because I'm normally against most free market (libertarian at the extreme) philosophy and the lobbying that coincides with that, because it trends towards the capitalist end of the spectrum and so is usually anti-labor.

But Uber is one of the only games around that lets workers 100% set their own hours with no commitment to the job/client outside work hours. Think about that - out of all the countless millions of businesses around the world, almost nobody offers that kind of freedom. I don't think it's possible to list even 10 businesses that do.

So I suspect that there is an underlying attack here against the basic freedom to work as much or as little as one chooses, protected by anonymity. That's the real story.

Yes the law was broken, yes workers were exploited, but if the nanny state gets its way and regulates Uber into being just another 40 hour job with bennies, then a lifeline for non-mainstream makers and creatives like us will be lost. I think that motive to suppress alternative work models is so strong that I can't trust the headlines.
A lot of people got rich from Madoff’s Ponzi scheme. The problem is they never cashed out their gains. You see the same thing in these kind of crypto trades - yes, you’re participating in a Ponzi scheme, but it actually works as long as it does keep getting new money to buy out your entry position… which can continue happening for quite a long time before actually collapsing.

There are also layers to the Ponzi scheme. The alt-coin is just the first one. Even if you cash out for a profit, you probably didn’t even sell it for fiat directly, but sold it for some “less risky” currency like Ethereum or Bitcoin. One might argue you’ve only moved from one a smaller Ponzi scheme to a larger one. But then again… trading across pools of risk is widely accepted as a method of generating wealth. So who are we to judge?

Or some variant of the Hawthorne effect, and the change has nothing to do with the specific change and everything to do with your conciseness about there being a change and it being for the purpose of weight loss.
It is a slightly binary game for me in terms of knowing it or not. But it’s one second out of my day for something that I enjoy in those cases and there are a few where I struggle to put my finger on it but get there eventually.

Nonetheless I tend to listen to the song on that day anyway, which is always nice.

Today’s one is kinda weird in that there’s not a lot to go on for most of the song, and even then, the song is kinda weird in that the chorus, that people know, is very detached from the rest of the song.
Helping others is the obvious purpose, at least for me. Easier said than done, though.
Is the implication here that founding a company during hard financial times is exploitative because workers are willing to work for less?
It happens here in Europe too - or at least it does here in the UK. I think the US might be worse for it though.

Your situation sounds absolutely horrific. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

I know someone going through something similar at the moment and I'm really worried about him. He moved to the UK for work and recently got layed off unexpectedly. Now he's in a position where he can't afford his rent and he can't afford school tuition for his son. He might end up being forced to take his son out of school and move back home which he obviously doesn't want to do as his family are settled here now. His son doesn't really know anything else and see's the UK as his home.

When I went through what I went through I just had my girlfriend to worry about. If I had a child I don't know how I would have coped to be honest. It's so much harder when people depend on you and you know you're letting them down.

Hope you're doing better now.

> 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.

Wikipedia makes this sound like an extreme niche theoretical position within Libertarianism, and you're claiming it as a mainstream position:

> Libertarians generally believe that voluntary slavery is a contradiction in terms.[60] However, certain right-libertarians dispute the Lockean claim that some rights are inalienable and maintain that even permanent voluntary slavery is possible and contractually binding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debates_within_libertarianism#...

> That's what "abolishing the minimum wage" IS. It's about allowing slavery (https://www.libertariancountry.com/blogs/news/there-should-b...).

Of course, libertarians believe no such thing and indeed your own link refutes your claim.

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

This isn't even anecdotal evidence.

> 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.

You seem to be conflating "advocating against certain regulation (even most regulation)" with "advocating against all regulation (effectively anarchy)". At a minimum, virtually all libertarians believe in regulation against (involuntary) slavery, theft, assault, etc, so clearly they favor certain kinds of regulation which support liberty, and thus they can also take the view that "voluntary slavery" is illiberal and thus subject to regulation (and from the tone of that Wikipedia quote, it sounds like many "except certain right-libertarians" do hold this view).
No, although IBM did the same thing with mainframes, and yes customers did make a phone call to unlock some extra hardware. Or pay per instruction executed. IBM had lots of creative ways to charge for mainframes.

Yeah, as resolutions climb autofocus not being aligned exactly to the sensor is a bigger and bigger problem.

I have a very high res (mirrored) medium format system and keeping the “focus trim” set correctly to align the AF system with sensor seems impossible, seemingly changing with temperature or other conditions.

I never expected WASM to be low-level to begin with, so I don't believe it could ever possibly be "as low level as I might expect". Something like NaCl (the original one) perhaps could have been called "low level".

I don't see how jumps are "fictional". Plenty of CPUs have them. Even actual stack CPUs, for that matter.
A lot of the pictures have some bright stars with 6 long lens flare like points coming out of them in a consistent pattern. Is that because of the hexagonal shape of JWT's lenses/mirrors?
Have you talked to your advisor about potential topics? The scope for an MS thesis is more like a large project (vs a PhD thesis), and it may make sense to ask your advisor about appropriately scoped projects/ideas that they have that are related to areas you’re interested in. It can be helpful to have your own ideas, but since they will have the most context and be the final arbiters of approval (if your school works like mine did), I would recommend that as a first step.

I would also say it depends on your interest and knowledge level. I would assume that before the MS, you haven’t yet approached the edge of knowledge to know what kind of work there even is to do (https://matt.might.net/articles/phd-school-in-pictures/). If you’re doing a research-based MS, that’s where the seminar classes, the papers, and collaborating on research can help, getting you closer to the edge to learn more about what’s going on there.
> Actually, that's sort of the point. British working class labour being undercut by foreign labour.

Sure, that may work in a purely hypothetical construct with rational economic agents, no second-order effects, farmers that are OK with going out of business, no political pandering, a the Conservative government that cares about labor (the class) and spherical cows.

Why are the anti-immigration politicians, now that they have "taken back control" - still keeping the immigration pipeline running? Just with fewer EU immigrants.

Blaming foreign laborers for systemic problems is a lazy cop-out: that is the bloc with the least say.

Wow you're right, huge difference in the sizes of the "full res" images:

The paper uses a dataset of all 6000+ recall events from the FDA, NHYSA, and CPSC for recalls, and the results of all 1,144 union elections during the same time frame for their analysis. It's a pretty comprehensive dataset, so I doubt they care much about two specific factories. They may not even have any recall events from those places.

I'd argue that Marvel is another example, although a complex one. Marvel Comics has changed very little in terms of culture; Ike Perlmutter runs it very much the way he ran it when it was independent. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been great for Marvel but is no longer under Marvel Comics proper (it's part of the studio group now).

As long as we're doing Disney acquisitions, Lucasfilm is also still pretty independent and successful. Other Disney acquisitions have been less so.
I downloaded this with YouTube -DLP which is a (working) fork of YouTube-DL, so I have a local copy I can play when coding & can play it in offline environments without needing a YouTube tab open in my browser which gets in the way of web development. It plays in VLC which isn’t as distracting. I love that kind of music for getting in the zone. It’s clear that many people have a tab open listening to this due to the way YouTube shows all the active listeners in the stream. I prefer my local copy though.
It seems all smileys could mean "I despise you" in the Chinese eye of the beholder...

Customers buying expensive cars are typically less price-sensitive than customers buying less expensive cars; high-end hotels charge for Wi-Fi service that's free at lower-end hotels in the same chain for the same reason.
Yes, I agree with you. It's more of a matter of principles because otherwise there's no point to using a paid, private email service at all since most of the market share is with Gmail and outlook free emails and most people don't use PGP. But I don't think that should be a reason for governments to pass bills that are hostile to privacy while adding nothing to national security compared to similar laws in, say Europe.

In the 90's my family went on a (rare) vacation out-of-state. My parents gave me a camcorder and told me to record everything in the house in case of robbery/fire etc. I meticulously went around to every room in our house and not only recorded video but supplied what I surely thought at the time ... was hilarious commentary.

I REALLY wish I had that video today. While mundane at the time I would have loved to have seen my childhood home, and all our possessions now 30 years later.

When I take photos now, I focus on people (not scenery) but this has me suspect there's enrichment to be had by documenting the "things" in your life.

> therefore keeping the sensor cool until you take your exposure.

That'd only be true if the sensor is a significant heat source that's unable to dissipate that heat adequately. Which... I can't think of any reason that would be inherently true. The ISP generates some decent heat, which is why many cameras have limits on how long you can record 4k video. But does the cmos sensor? Especially when you're talking full-frame, the energy density seems like it'd be pretty tame. If it's not meaningfully rising above ambient temperature, then there's no reason a DSL sensor would be cooler & therefore less noisy.
> Ah, and now “I’m a bad person?” for not jumping on your bandwagon which promises so much but delivers so little.

I mean, if you're opposed to cryptocurrencies even after it's been shown to you both how they currently benefit marginalized groups and how they can potentially benefit yet more marginalized groups, then that does indeed say something about the quality of your character. I wouldn't go so far as to write you off as a "bad person", but I would hope that you reflect on whether one's desire to continue the marginalization of said groups on the basis of "North Korea bad" might preclude one being a "good person".

Even checking A/A tests won't surface all the issues. A proper A/B test is one that samples over a long enough time to adjust to the true audience of the service.

For example, imagine a costume shop that ran a couple dozen A/B tests over the summer. Those results may look statistically significant. They may even stand up against the A/A test. But people that buy costumes in the summer are very, very different than people that buy them in October, and if 90% of the store's business is in the run up to halloween, then all these micro optimizations could actually make your total business performance worse.

I'm a A/B testing skeptic too, though I admit they have a time and a place. My favourite are ones that can be reasoned about as actual hypotheses. This usually involves some degree of data analysis or segmentation. For example, increasing font sizes may boost conversion, and a later analysis shows that this was almost solely a lift in conversion rates amongst the 45+ cohort. The data in this case isn't just blindly driving design decisions, it's helping inform the staff on how to better design in the future for the audience we have.
Agree, I should have phrased it a little differently.

My main point was that customers aren't being treated badly like with taxis anymore, and they'll accept a lot of exploitation due to that.
youre not really trying the safety justification, not seriously? everybody remembers being in shitty cabs in places with "safety" regulations. if they cared about safety they could have designed an easy and simple process but this was about regulatory cature.

On the pump phase, everything could work, even if it's not sustainable and even if everybody suspects that is not sustainable.

I'm old enough to have lived the .com bubble as an adult, and almost everybody knew/suspected it was a bubble, and that 95% of the business would fall at some point in the near future. But if you believed that it would last at least one more year, and you can squeeze a 20% profit, and you can do it leveraged 10x... it's just too tempting to many.

Fast forward 7 or so years, housing bubble, same tune: it was a main talking point, everybody knew it was a bubble and unsustainable, but very few predicted the burst to 2007 (and even the ones who did were the same that predicted it to 2004, 2005 and 2006). You are in 2004, everybody saying "this is a bubble" and waiting. In 2005 people still waiting looked like losers, while 2004 buyers laughed and I-told-you.

Nobody wants to be a loser, and some people should beat the market or get fired. Only way to beat the market? Ride the bubble. And the rational way to ride a known bubble is leveraged: you enter the market, profit heavily, and ideally exit (it almost never works). You know you cannot ride a bubble expecting it to rise forever, you know it's going to crash, so you need to enter and exit ASAP.

I was amazed the first time I looked into the viewfinder of a medium format SLR. After mostly using mirrorless digital cameras, even returning to a 35mm/full frame viewfinder feels like magic. The experience of seeing the image rendered by the lens on the ground glass in “full screen” with your eye’s superior color depth and dynamic range is really something. Digital viewfinders/mirrorless cameras certainly provide more utility in certain cases, but they’ll never match the “experience” of ground glass

I think you are overreacting to a reaction that barely exists there. It looks like one person has responded (at the time I'm writing this) and while they didn't agree with your assessment, they stated so quite calmly rather than in a manner I would call outrage. Unless you have been inundated by personal messages that I can't see?

There was a lass in a bikini, but even that is safe for my work. If your work is pretty strict about images of these natures, I would suggest refraining from browsing non-work-related sites at all until you are at home or at least on a device that is not using the corporate network.

[edit: having had a scan through the images (someone posted a link to where they are all visible) there are a couple of people flipping the bird too, those might get a reaction if the bikini does]

> [0] For context: The EU competition regulators believe AOM may have bullied people into royalty-free licensing. This could either be read as "Google screwed up their legal research" or the EU deciding that reciprocal royalty-free patent licensing itself needs to die.

Sounds like you're assuming that the issue is with AV1 itself. My personal guess is that the issue is rather that some AOM company could coerce some patent-owner companies into using AV1, and thus "relinquishing their patents".

Stupid obviously unreal example: If Apple require iPhone resellers to display Apple's advertisement from AV1 codec. Then resellers have the choice to either stop selling Apple products, or give their patents for free to AOM. If that was real, it could be considered an abuse of Apple's dominant position.
