I read the comment as referring to Uber's staff. But being crappy to one doesn't mean your competition isn't crappier.
But it really seems that everyone does this

If everyone lies, that doesn't make it right to lie, no matter the technological barrier.

We should't accept and normalize this behavior. If a search claims there are six million results, I should be able to see any or all of those claimed.

If Google (and the others) can't let me see all the results, be honest and tell me. "Google found 6,553,500 results. Showing the 5,000 most relevant."

Google advertises that it has x results, but there is no way to know if that is true, or a lie.

Is it really so hard to not lie to your users?
This kind of gives the lie to the "The US can't build anything anymore" - we do build things but we have all sorts of restrictions we wouldn't have operated under a hundred years ago.

Back then we would have just built a whole new bridge somewhere nearby and then probably detonated the old one.

Hi! My name is Jeff. I am a senior studying computer science at the University of Arizona. I just completed an internship this summer at Snap Inc. where I contributed to a back-end commerce team using Java, gRPC, Kubernetes and Service Mesh. I am looking for full time positions starting in May 2023.

The number of people that use PayPal/Stripe/Google other 3rd party instead of acquiring their own merchant account directly with a bank and processing it themselves, or at least own their own merchant account and use a 3rd party to handle the integration.

Sorry, but I see this time and time again, people complaining about PayPal/Stripe/etc.

You could phrase this in a way that isn't so gross and offensive.
Different musical styles are traditionally associated with different club dance styles (and, while they sometimes aren’t separate named styles, solo and partner dancing involve some different skills, too.)

There are transferrable basics (though, unlike computing, the minimum set of prmitives to cover the whole space is quite large), but, I think it would be difficult to pick them up outside of the context of particular styles.
how can good content be monetized:

Well, don't go with ads, go with crypto-miners running on the viewers hardware - accessed via the web. keep it slim (0.1% of the GPU or what ever)...

If we went with that - that could be a viable source of income for content creators that don't rely on the every growing ad industry.

I recently left a 400k+ job to work full time on an app addressing this exact problem, despite having a wife, daughter, and Bay Area mortgage . Of course productivity apps are a crowded space but I have a burning need to build the right tool for myself , and I believe might help others.

Remote work has pressed the need for me to improve here since I think I benefited by being in the same room as coworkers and being alone in my home the whole workday has pressed my ability to stay focused.

I struggled with ADHD , but because of past health issues, medication is off the table. Even though Vyvanse was a miracle for focus it caused some serious other problems. And the more I read about psychiatry and psychology the more I’ve gotten excited by lifestyle changes.

One thing I feel strongly about is that productivity tools need to be descriptive, not prescriptive . I’m not a robot, I need to work on what my gut is telling me to work on rather than what some reminder is telling me to work on. But I also need to do work and not scroll Reddit for hours so a tool helps with accountability for that.

I can’t over emphasize how enamored I am with Andrew Huberman Youtube video on the topic. He’s a Stanford neuroscientist with all sorts of suggestions on managing our dopamine levels with techniques like cold water therapy and intermittent fasting.

Social media, including hacker news and excessive email checking, can destroy your motivation if you don’t keep it in check. If you’re struggling with focus you simply have to monitor and moderate these things.

Ads whose performance brings a dev box to its knees, ads that cause content to jump around as they load, ads that bloat your screen to the point where you have to scroll to see anything of use on the page you're on, and (this is a matter of taste), an atrocious layout.

Compare, a few pages on, say, http://poewiki.net (the community fork) with http://pathofexile.fandom.com

Compare the loading times. The jank. The layout, that optimizes providing you information, over serving you ads. The usability difference is night and day.
IMO the big difference is doing it at your leisure and being able to take a break vs. being required to do it 24/7.

When I’m frustrated with my job and modern life in general it’s easy to imagine running away and living on a farm. When I’m sleeping in on a Saturday or taking a spontaneous weekend getaway I’m very glad that I don’t live on a farm.
Hmm. I am taking this comment at face value and not as a sarcastic response.

Even if you prioritize flexibility, if your position is at the bottom of the totem pole, you will find it exceedingly difficult to get even minute changes in it. Those employees are increasingly monitored to the point I would not have accepted as a kid, but it seems a more and more common practice today.

I guess what I am saying is that what you do matters, but not nearly as much as you give it credit for. Some of it is just dumb luck.

harsh but true. society, family, culture, work, a baseball game etc. Each of these social structures comes with a whole host of expectations and rules that make that structure work. we routinely sacrifice our internal desires to meet these expectations. generally because we accept that we are all better off when we sacrifice a little for the good of the whole.

I think the really interesting thing is that these things can all work when people have vastly different motivations for participating. for an example with baseball, Joe may like the thrill of a well oiled team making a double play while frank lives to score and hit the ball. both Frank and Joe hate getting up to practice. we don't all need to have the same motivations to make the team work, the only thing that is needed is for the participants to understand the team is necessary to get what they want out of it.

I think separate is ideal. But sometimes I only realize the refactor halfway through my changes, at that point I might try to do a chunk on a clean workspace so they can be moved to a separate PR or I’ll just proceed and give generous explanation of all changes in PR with inline comments (comments in PR not in code) and offer to walk reviewers through it.

The Canadian company ("Pinnacle Pellets") which was set up to do this no longer exists. Guess which company bought them... Did you guess their main customer, Drax? Because that's correct.

What's left, at least on my first attempts is one lonely page of Drax's site:

https://www.drax.com/northamerica/pellet-sales/

> There are more economically fruitful things to do with "perfectly good" logs than sell them to the nearby chip plant let alone the one far away.

No need to "sell them" at all. Drax owns the logging outfit, the pellet company and the converted coal plant in the UK to burn the pellets. It is converting Canadian forests into cash in the UK, any "prices" which exist internally are notional and don't represent actual money anybody actually paid for anything.

Now, that UK plant gets paid market prices for electricity, which is currently a very reasonable (by recent standards) £115 per MWh, which is equivalent to if you were charged about 12¢ per kWh before anybody pays their overheads or makes a profit. But earlier today it was £439 per MWh. But, on top of those prices, it also get a green subsidy because it persuaded the British government that this is just waste you see, it's not chopping down perfectly good trees, they're waste and so this is carbon neutral, see ?

Somehow Drax was profitable when prices were about £45 per MWh. So, now their income from burning the same amount of wood is more than double, sometimes closer to ten times what it was, and yet you think there's no incentive for them to do the thing the documentary showed they are doing ? Why?

Rituals can be important. I recently worked on a mostly daily exercise routine and it's life changing. I'm now focusing on a monthly/weekly/daily planning. If I try to even do two habits, I have much lower results.

Counterintuitively, there's requirements to have more slack time. It's has to be dedicated and active. I need time to waste. I just need that time to be intentional, timed and shamefree. One trick, I use is to set a timer, get myself a glass of water, and then turn down the bed like a hotel before a Movie.

Thank you for illustrating my point. The first victims of any such mandate will be the ultra-partisans promoting this case --- they have zero tolerance for dissent.

Do you honestly think Truth Social will continue to operate without Trump having the ability to ban and remove people and posts he disagrees with? He is very definition of intolerant --- the only tolerance he has any interest in is that afforded himself.

The job for this biased court will be to craft a decision that impacts one side but not the other. I'm skeptical that this can be achieved in a fair and consistent and workable manner.
No idea what these sail systems cost, but it seems like the payback period on these sails would be pretty quick. Using 10% less fuel on a 10-day voyage at current bunker fuel prices would be about $150,000 in savings.

Do you see evidence of selective logging there? I don't. If you're going to say I don't know what I'm talking about it sure would be good to hear why.
Indeed, I do the same thing and most people I know do the same. The fact is that Lyft for me consistently has high prices and lower availability of drivers than Uber, so I use Uber. The network effect is strong with ridesharing companies.

i remember slicing images into rectangles which could be fit into a table. stole some portrait photograph of a woman, maxed out contrast, color reduction + dithering, then drew the eyes shut and make the open/close frames into gifs with different timings. the result: an image of a women who blinked both eyes independently, without the use of css and js.

the outcome wasn't planned, it just happened - but it was so funny i still have to laugh all those years later.

> food delivery (that's going to go great during a recession)

I'm just curious why you think that food delivery will do great during a recession, could you comment on that? I find Uber Eats to be utterly overpriced. I would assume that people will scale down on eating out during a recession or will look for ways to save on it (picking up by themselves, eating more at home, etc.)
Everybody loves green (as in money) tech.
Of course. The checks are performed where the values arrive. If a file or network socket provides a number N that is going to be used as an array index, then N must be proved to be within array bounds at compile time before being used as an array index, which means you are forced to catch the bug at compile time and decide how to signal bad values of N.
In a perfect world, you would find the thing you love most, and do that. If it's watching Netflix, so be it.

I assume if you had perfect freedom (and an unconditional basic income), you wouldn't be watching Netflix, at least not all the time. Passive fun is what people usually do when they are tired. You wouldn't be tired all the time.

The difficult part is having to work to pay your bills, in a world so large that there is nothing unique about your skills. That makes you tired, and then there is just enough energy left for watching Netflix.

While a bit weird, I can understand that you can do ads without tracking (perhaps without profiling as well) and this doesn't always mean that Apple becoming one with the capitalistic singularity of advertising business requires them to also be tracking people.

The same goes for plenty of forms of telemetry; it doesn't equal individual tracking or tracking at all (before someone comes in with a cohort theory).

Some things like predictive text entry (Microsoft did/does that? And grammarly and Gboard) have an easy implementation where you ignore privacy and simply dump all user entry onto a server and do the heavy lifting there. Apple's version of that might be Siri recordings when recognition fails to improve that, but I haven't seen it with ads or text entry (yet?).

At some point no company should be doing any of this without homomorphic encryption or a good level of sanitisation. All of Apple's telemetry that you can inspect (either locally or simply by adding a proxy) is well-anonymised. It doesn't hide what specific binaries are causing errors as that would defeat the point of measuring reliability, and when you connect to someone, they will know what IP connected to them, but other than that, it's not as bad as people tend to make it out to be.
Yeah, I was wondering about the particle metallurgy process (or the equivalent from other foundries). I know that AEB-L and similar Sandvik steels are ingot steels. Would the added cost be worth it? What about something LC200N (Cronidur 30)? Great corrosion resistance and toughness. Comments here talk about corrosion leading to micro fractures. Not sure if traditional toughness in terms of cutlery applies here.
I have thought a great deal about whether I also want EKS clusters to officially support nodes in multiple AWS accounts. On the one hand, having the option to create that additional low-level isolation would be lovely, even and maybe even especially if I didn't always take it. On the other hand, isolating two things from each other but then tying them to the same Kubernetes cluster upgrade schedule feels wrong.

In the end, I decided that if I care about isolating two things enough to put them in separate AWS accounts, I'm willing to spend the $75 per month that it takes to have separate EKS clusters, too. (This opinion perhaps obviously doesn't fit will with hobby/side project budgets.)
AWS SSO has made it incredibly easy for us to secure and manage access to (and switch between) all our AWS accounts in the org.

I'm a huge fan and recommend it.
I don't think I would pay. Google is a nice example of a business that gets corrupted along the way, from "don't be evil" to giving ads instead of search results.

To be entirely fair, there's been something of an arms race between Google and the SEO bottom feeders (I'd use stronger language, but you know, civility). SEO pressure has caused at least some of the changes in Google (to be clear, advertising money is the biggest corruptor), and cheaply-written or auto-generated SEO web sites are part of the "google results are bad" problem.

I think that even if there was a subscription for "good search results" the search company would fairly quickly try to "monetize" that even further by inserting ads, and then the corruption would take over quickly. We saw this in Google search, and Youtube and now we're seeing it in streaming services. The big initial draw to Hulu subscriptions was "no ads", now they're infested with advertising.

Advertising corrupts.
> If so, it might actually make sense to have two branches of the same software, if the commercial arm can fund the non-profit one.

The inevitable problem with these schemes is that the MBAs at the commercial part will eventually try to "optimize" the funding channel towards the non-profit section.
FB absolutely can and does correlate events and various metadata sent by the "Facebook SDK" spyware which litters most mainstream apps. ATT does not prevent that because the fingerprint it collects, combined with your IP address is sufficient to link all the separate instances of the SDK by correlating enough events.
