This is such a fascinating evolution of technology for me. It reminds me a lot of my experience with psychedelics. The ability to see things in a much different way.

There is no reason why the ubers and bookings etc should not have been actually platforms developed and owned by the respective sectors using more or less the same technologies. In fact there are some examples.

A very interesting angle, you don't read this often though it seems there is something to it and for some time now I had a quite similar impression. It's almost as if the US are doing specifically better with border cases and "extremes", on both ends that is. For that reason I'm not sure if it holds water if or as long as you're "just poor"; very poor is a different story though. Especially in the case of homelessness it seems to me like at least the big cities (even in not so blue states..) are _way_ more active on that front, also proactive, aggressive in the good sense, and there's lot more opportunity to get assistance or advice. More often than not privately based of course, something in particular we hardly know over here (where it's gonne be the churches, at best). Apropos kept out of sight: true, but that is also changing and noticeably so. Living in a rather smallish town in Germany, just recently I ran across something you might as well expect somewhere in the rundown parts of LA, I've never seen it round here before: a person, mid-aged male, that apparently had "moved into" my bank; which has a lobby that's (well, was^^) kept open overnight for the ATM service and stuff. Even used it as a toilet, obviously. Why? Well again, I just don't think there are too many options. And coming to think of it I could even understand it: 24/7 CCTV, certainly doesn't subtract from your safety (subjective or not), there's light, air-conditioning (we too are having a heat wave), any more wishes? This indeed is Germany, 2023.

Thanks! That's actually really useful.

When I bought my last ebike in 2019, I wanted to get a model from USA that isn't sold here in Japan. Ignoring for the moment the regulatory stuff, I found that anyway the battery for ebikes was too big to take on an airplane myself, and too big for FedEx/DHL/etc to ship to Japan from USA.

I would have had to arrange my own boat shipping, which seemed like it was going to be too expensive, in addition to being to complicated to deal with while on vacation.

AFACT in a quick search, Bosch doesn't sell their ebike stuff here, but there are tons of Bafang motors and batteries readily available. Very interesting!
i always find it interesting how hostile people generally are to these sort of ideas, or towards anything that contains the implication that these problems are something that can be worked on and aren't just something that people are helpless victims of. it really is like clockwork, i knew what these comments were going to be like before i even read any of them.

i guess "it's not my fault" is an easier pill to swallow than "this weakness i have means i have to work harder than most people to compensate for it".

well, that explains why they are not using this FOSS licensed rebol. it's the wrong version. they are aiming for self hosting, it's just taking them a while to get it done.

take a look at their roadmap:

*v0.7 : Full I/O with async support.

*v1.0b : (beta) completed self-hosted Red with 64-bit support.

For reaching the 1.0-beta milestone, we target 12 months of intensive work, so that will bring us to Q3 2023.

so that was written in june 2022 before 0.7.
there is no announcement for 0.7, but then they changed the versioning so i can't tell if the goals for that have been reached. but it's pretty clear that self-hosting is the next big target.

This is not exactly new with Uber/Lyft. I remember a ride with the local taxi company (before they came on the market) where the driver was actually boasting how some previous customer was complaining about him to the dispatch, but he's a contractor so he's safe from any repercussions.

In that situation, at least the 1-star review at Uber/Lyft has a measurable effect.

Just because a thief would find themselves driving the car on public roads in the state described doesn't mean that the owner would actually do the same.

It's amusing that the car is lacking in security features, but that doesn't make it easy to steal. It's funny that it's hard enough to drive that a previous thief gave up and (essentially) gave it back.

The biggest hint is in a caption: "I’ll make sure the drivetrain is in the car, by the way." He's obviously working on the car to try to make it better, and there's no way he's actually going to put the drivetrain back in the car just in case someone wants to try stealing it.
I read labster's comment as a criticism of the industry, rather than the writers.

There are still localisation issues with some iconography having quite different meanings by default⁰ to different populations. Also there is the issue of some iconography not making sense to anyone until it is first explained, though I suppose confusing all your users is at least not discriminatory!

“The only "intuitive" interface is the nipple. After that it's all learned.” -- Bruce Ediger¹

And for accessibility reasons the text should still be there in some form² so the icon is just pushing the problem elsewhere, though admittedly accessibility is often forgotten (or actively neglected) making this a moot point.

I understand your point - whenever people ask what era I would like to born in (that's not the future), I always say now. I really like mRNA vaccines, the discovery and proliferation of mindfulness/meditation/mental health, antibiotics, supercomputers strapped to our wrists, etc. Even things like food have gotten better than from when I was a kid (that one could be personal).

However, just because it's good, doesn't mean it couldn't be better. I think this all the time - why can't the rich be rich without inflicting cruelty and suffering on people? You can have your millions, just give us healthcare, housing, public transit, vacation time, and fair pay, and stop dumping chemicals in the water, torturing animals, warming the planet, addicting folks to opioids, and promoting guns and the use of personal vehicles.

We don't have to imagine or fantasize about improvements the US could make - we have an example right in front of us with many social democracies in Europe. When a car backfires, the French don't assume it's an active shooter. When a Dane gets into an accident, they don't take a taxi to hospital. When your CEO gets trolled on Twitter and decides to fire 70% of the staff, you don't have to worry about it because you have an employment contract, and he simply can't.

We have to do better.

Yeah agree. Roll your own linked lists (or rather: avoid them but if you have to use them, roll your own, it's like 30 min to 2 hours at most), your own btrees, your own ring buffer. I guess the gnu hashmap is fine 90% of the time, but if your use case is weird, you might want to run your own too. And BTW the glibc isn't really bad, just that in C, generic solutions will miss your specifics edge cases.

And this is true for strings too. If you use only static strings in your whole project, the standard is enough, but I won't write an IRC server or a posix Shell without my own strings (not anymore :p).
The basic problem is that their bikes are not good value for money. They look cool, but they are very basic bikes (despite various bells and whistles) and they have lots of custom parts. I think the VanMoof bikes looked really nice and had an interesting design. But unless you live in Amsterdam, they were not a good choice for a bike and definitively not a bike you can depend on.

They are only suitable for riding on fairly flat roads. Which is OK for many cities, but it does limit their usefulness. They are what I think of as "novelty bikes". Sure, they are good looking and if you only need to ride around a mostly flat city with good road surfaces, you'll be fine. But a lot of places are not like that.

I got tired of riding low quality "novelty bikes" last year and got a hardtail with a Bosch CX motor. Bikes are expensive, so when you do buy a bike and, like me, you are going to ride it all year round, you need something that has "mainstream" parts. Because you are going to wear stuff out. This winter, despite cleaning my bike often (and using appropriate lubricants) I wore out chain, cassette, brakes and a couple of bearings. I rode 10-20 miles per day with lots of elevation both directions) just for work and errands, and on top of that I used the bike for exercise. In anything from 35C and sunshine to snow storms and temperatures as low as -25C (on studded tyres). More often that not the coastal weather where I live is wet cold and hovering somewhere around 0C.

Given my use I expect to spend $200-300 per year on stuff that wears out. The real question is how long the really expensive bits, like the motor is going to last. I fully expect to have to tear down the motor in a couple of years to have the bearings replaced and possibly deal with water ingress. But I'm not too worried because given the huge deployed base of Bosch CX motors there is already significant knowledge base on how to deal with problems.

If you want to make a good bike that can be a workhorse, you have to start with high volume parts in all the places that are subject to intensive wear. You need something that can be replaced at sensible cost and that bicycle repair shops are likely to have in their inventory. This is especially true for components like the motor. Within 10 minutes bike ride from where I live there are almost half a dozen bike shops that can service my bike. The closest just up the road, located beside the grocery store I visit every day. If I have a problem I can usually get it fixed within a day.

Choose bicycles like you architect robust systems. Go for good, well known parts that a lot of people know how to deal with. Don't get fancy unless what you can offer is significantly better under real conditions.

In this sense, VanMoof was never a competitive proposition. It was marginal at best. If you want to design a new bike, give careful thought to the system architecture. I think this presents a brilliant learning opportunity.
Funny that you mention Monty Python, they almost had to cancel the production of The Life of Brian since their original financier was apprehensive about the the film's content making fun of religion.

CPython is written in C, and has an extensive API, also in C. A good number of CPython's stdlib is implemented in C. It's fairly easily to write an extension lib in C or C++ or Rust, even, and have python dynamically load the library. Shared libs have to be linked differently than they normally are as ld.so needs to be able to locate and load any dependencies. Libs are typically referred to as 'dlo's instead of 'so's to make the distinction.

They can't provide a definitive list because case law can always overturn it.

I guess the best they can offer is "if you do this, we will choose not to go after you". But even that can change, as you point out. They don't have the resouces to chase even close to everyone, so they have to rely on media messaging to do a lot of the policing for them (hence going after high-profile targets like TV presenters).

This is a very poorly written article with a clickbait title.

The word "fail" appears only once in the whole text, which is in the title description itself.

This is what the article actually states:

> Smythe expects, however, 85% of AI startups to be out of business in three years, either because they were swallowed up by big companies or simply because they ran out of cash.

Running out of cash can be classified as failure, but being "swallowed up by big companies" is often the end game for startups. I would not describe a buyout as a failure. Did Mojang failed as a company when Microsoft handed over 2.5 billion dollars for it?
In my city, Uber has very much

> shown that the old model for running a taxi service was horrendously outdated and customer-unfriendly

Prior to Uber, you had to pick a taxi company, call them, wait between twenty minutes and the heat death of the universe for the taxi to show up, and then maybe have the driver claim that his POS machine is broken and please pay cash.

After Uber showed up, suddenly the largest taxi service came out with an app where you could order a cab, watch it approach in real time, and pay through the app.

Generally I think the message of the post with respect to democratizing access is fine, but I find this part rankling:

> "Experts" in high growth tech will tell you that you should only ever made senior/experienced hires, so that you can just focus on scale.

I've not heard experts in healthy organizations say this. If you want to build a durable institution, you need people of every skill level to create a pipeline of talent.
Every era has its tropes, and this one may be slightly stronger or you are just not liking it so much, thus seeing it everywhere. Look at some mainstream movies from ie 60s, all people wearing same clothes (all guys wearing suits and shirts for every single activity, surreal now yet even my own grandpa was working (biggish) garden in nicely ironed shirt and pants every day). Everybody is nicely shaven, same haircut, same... everything.

Hollywood was never about matching reality, rather just creation/working on dreams, so one shouldn't expect these things. If you complain, you basically complain about what majority wanted to see at given time, which is never fringe-pleasing experience.
The syntax is terse if you need to do arbitrary stuff with an arbitrary interface. But if you start off keeping SWIG in mind from the beginning and avoid funky features at API level you might be fine by just "importing" your header files in the SWIG-definition file.
