These equity stakes also present potential upside. For Uber, the equity stakes in Didi, Zomato, Grab and others provide them with exposure to these markets without bearing the operational risks and costs. If these companies thrive, Uber will profit from the increase in value of its stake. Strategic partnerships can bring in additional benefits.

Still, I agree that this trend does complicate the analysis of reports. It also raises questions about the transparency and predictability of future earnings, as these are tied to the performance of other companies that investors may not fully understand or have visibility into. As always, it's a delicate balance between potential upside and added complexity.
I still think this is true and this result is basically random noise. If they do this for another 20 years and erase the $30 billion of operating losses they've incurred up to this point, maybe I'll change my mind and do a lengthy postmortem on why I was wrong.

What is "horkage"?
> What about it? Are the workers there currently off the job while they wait for more money?

No they aren't because it's Asia? You don't work then you starve. There is so much poor people there that you can pay whatever and you will find workers, no labor laws, no unions. So he pays them pennies because as you said "THERE IS SHORTAGE OF REVENUE"? That's not the reason and everyone knows that. Just admit that they are not paid because of greed and we can finish this discussion instead of framing it like poor business owner would need to charge higher price or they would be starving. That's NOT the case.

> Here I was convinced you were just going on some mindless "workers are victims" rant, not realizing that workers stop showing up when they are not paid enough

Ye, all of these people without education can choose to do whatever they want.. so they can just quit and then they eat air and pay for rent and their children school etc with air, with almost zero savings (because cost of living eats everything) especially in Asia without labor laws and unions. But ye live in your alternative world where workers can choose whatever they want, but it's not only Asia where its really bad or Africa, lets look at the richest country in the world where 57% of Americans can't afford a $1000 emergency, I guess these people with kids can't wait to just quit their jobs and be homeless.

> It was suggested that the guy at the head of Louis Vuitton is too greedy to randomly pay people more. I asked if you randomly pay people more as well. If not, it would be strange for you to expect others to do so. Everyone here has money to spare.

Difference is that these are not random people but people that do work for him, see the difference? It's the fruit of their labor. That's why again, WTH are you talking about?

Note that in a strong enough magnetic field almost can be made to levitate:

https://www.ru.nl/hfml/research/levitation-explained/diamagn...

That little neo cube is pretty powerful, I can get a fairly large steel needle to stand up on one end with a magnet about 1/4 of that volume if placed carefully. So if it wasn't diamagnetism that caused the sample to stand up (which side stands up isn't all that important and may be a reflection of the distribution of the superconducting material in the sample, which need not be uniform at all) the sample may have been partially magnetic and partially diamagnetic, and too heavy to be levitated by that particular magnet due to the limited field strength. I would have liked to see an attempt to pick up the sample with the magnet to rule out any contamination.
"The problem with scud running is it often works" - this is really important because if dangerous things killed everyone who tried them, nobody would try them anymore.

But if you put yourself in a precarious position, eventually it will catch up to you, and you HAVE to force yourself to avoid those positions, no matter how tempting.

If one is trying to determine the top-performing candidate (for the position being hired for), does bias actually interfere with that?

Especially considering the sorts of bias that are likely to be introduced (those adjacent to personality preferences), those who don't fit well are likely to poorly influence coworkers to a degree that negatively impacts total performance of a team.

I thought this was another interesting data point about the wildfire situation in North America. I’ve heard people say that the wildfires are less about global warming than they are about mismanaged forests where the policy is always to stop fires. Probably loss of property values and resource values plays a part in this thinking?

I wonder if implementing something like this could be helpful and if it’s actually politically and logistically feasible elsewhere.
A big issue with constant retraining is going to be the self referential consumption of it's own generated material as training material. There's already been the studies that these models quickly break down when they're fed their own generated data as training data. It won't immediately degrade them as it's a small percentage but there's already a lot of people using these models to generated spam junk out there and it'll only get worse with time.

> 1. Rust is supposed to be harder than Java, you get runtime performance for your efforts. If you don't need that performance, by all means do not use Rust!

I have to disagree with this. It's easy to use Rust as a general purpose programming language once you are familiar with its type system. Getting there of course, is a different matter. There is a point beyond which the strict rules of the language stops feeling like a burden and starts feeling like a guide.

> So even though I like Rust, I don't really disagree with their feelings.

I can sympathize with the beginners. Navigating the Rust type system as a beginner takes a lot of patience and contemplation. Doing it under deadlines imposed by management is completely counterproductive. If I were a manager, I would either hire someone who knows it already, or invest in their training.

That said, it's a very toxic behavior to take out that frustration on a community that created and loves the language. Express the frustration and seek help? That's fine. But calling them liars and cursing their project a swift death? I don't see how that's agreeable. This really isn't about Rust - it's about not being completely inconsiderate with strangers on the internet. People need a detox from the pressures of corporate life.
No, I'm referring to a circular arrangement, not a planar one, but the effects are much the same, think of it as a rolled up version of a Halbach array with coils connected across the opposing sides in such a way that bringing the coil closer to the side will increase the attractive force on the other side. It's a pretty clever arrangement, that requires no control electronics and has very low loss once it has centered itself.

The problem is in an industry like resturaunts that are low margins is that food ordering apps introduce a "too many cooks in the kitchen" problem. The restaurants add markup to the food to make a profit, this they split amongst themselves internally though there is usually very little to spare. Food delivery apps not only introduce a delivery driver into this mix that has to get paid but also a cash hungry VC startup that is burning R&D costs like there's no tomorrow.

Suddenly what you end up with is no one is making enough money to cover their costs with the current food price so each party starts adding their own fees to cover the losses and cut on other costs to save money. And then what you end up with is very expensive food and maybe one or two parties in the "kitchen" actually turn a profit.

Windows doesn't have a POSIX shell. Windows has subsystems to provide one, but shell scripts aren't portable to Windows in its default configuration.

POSIX is not the same as "portable", certainly not "universally portable". POSIX shell scripts should be written to handle the capabilities of POSIX systems. Likewise scripts for POSIX-compliant shells, like Bash scripts. Non-POSIX shells may impose whatever restrictions they like, e.g. Windows disallows the file names CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM0 through COM9, and LPT0 through LPT9. Those are in your category 1 but are definitely not safe on Windows.

Yes, what you're describing is two different approaches for safety analysis. According to the NASA software engineering handbook [1]

"Software Fault Tree Analysis (SFTA) is a top-down approach to failure analysis which begins with thinking about potential failures or malfunctions (What could go wrong?) and then thinking through all the possible ways that such a failure or malfunction could occur. Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), is often used by the hardware teams to identify potential hazards that might be caused by failures in hardware components or systems, but with the SFTA, the software isn’t considered the hazard, but it can be a cause or contributor when considered in the context of the system."

"The Software Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (SFMEA) is a bottom up approach where each component is examined and all the possible ways it can fail are listed. Each possible failure is traced through the system to see what effect it might have on the system and to determine if it results in a hazardous state. Then the likelihood of the failure and the severity of the system failure can be considered."

But, to the earlier post, these are driven by hard requirements; specifically adherence to NASA STD 7150.2 and NPR 7150.2. Developers/contractors can tailor/waive them with pre-approval but, in general, they tend to go in the direction of less requirements, not more. This may all be moot because I think Voyager pre-dates any of those requirement documents and I'm not sure what existed in the late 1970s.

Sometimes I wonder if we built a too interconnected society dependent on some certain tools and those tools collapse, can we rebuild stuff from scratch?
For example it seems all services are more and more dependent on the Internet and electricity.
Could it be that in 200 years everything is dependent on the internet/electricity to function and once it breaks down we have lost all the intermediate tools and know-how that brought us there and we revert to technology of 4000 years ago?

Right now this is unlikely, every single HomeDepot or hardware store contains thousands of tools like drills, saws nailguns that would help us quickly rebuild a collapsed world.
Why do you think someone needs to say _anything_ for someone else to act racist towards them or others?
Well, for starters, batteries have their own internal resistance. Not a whole lot, but enough that whether you short out with copper wire or superconductor, the effect would be the same.
Often in a professional context, a non-idiomatic layer written with a lot of discipline is an effective shim between nice clean code and something "dirty." Precluding people from writing that shim just makes things harder.

Sure, allowing people to do whatever they want means that code written without discipline will just be a jumbled mess, but that will be true in idiomatic code too.

Also, a mature language and the associated community has to be able to deal with non-hobbyists learning and using it.
Cherrypicking?
Yes, not sure what commenter is pointing at. It's not the large corps that drive this kind of froth, it's smaller shops or startups with smaller teams where decisions get more easily dominated by individuals with opinions.

Those things are directly related.

UberEATS is insane.

The one time I tried it, it routed a burger from a A&W five miles away instead of the one just down the block from the hotel (both were open 24 hours) and it arrived cold and lifeless (and the order was wrong, anyway).

edit - I tipped normally and reviewed high, I don't complain to UberEATS I just will never use it again, or at least not in the cities. Local door dash out here in the sticks has been fine the few times I've needed to get emergency food to home when I'm a thousand miles away.
> Ideally I’d like tools like git to eventually be replaced by CRDT based approaches. CRDTs would let us use the same tools to do pair programming. CRDTs also handle complex merges better (no self-conflicts like you can get with git). And they’re generally a more powerful model.

I'd be interested to see how this plays out in practice.

It seems to be in conflict with the idea that scm history is a meaningful deliverable that should be arranged as series of incremental atomic changes before a patch series leaves your development machine.

However, most developers I interact with already treat git history as an infinite editor undo history, this approach seems like it would crystalize that fact.

How do you envision the (long-term) history working? Do you think it would provide more/less utility?

The core idea here is that a sunshade is like a solar sail but not like a solar sail. See

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4550401/

A sunshade is like a solar sail in that it is likely to be made of a coated plastic film, but it is unlike a solar sail that you don’t optimize it by maximizing reflectivity and minimizing weight. A sunshade doesn’t quite sit at the L1 site because light pressure changes the balance. An opaque and heavier sunshade can float closer to the Earth and not have to be as big. In fact, the ideal sunshade might rather refract light rather than reflect it or absorb it.

... ChatGPT is a bigger, fancier mechanical turk. It's still aligned by the manual labour of underpaid people given no benefits for their work. They get exposed to some of the most horrible content on the Internet every day as part of their job. It's trained on data mined from other humans. It regurgitates that content and if it's too close to verbatim with the training data we have manual labour fixing that. There's an army of people that are trying to make it look like they're keeping SkyNET in a box... just don't look in the box.

Still, I'm not convinced CBT works very well at all for just about anyone. Obviously all anecdote, but literally anyone I know that has had cause to interact with therapists has seemingly independantly come to the conclusion that they need to immediately stop any psychologist trying to explain CBT to them and ask if they know any other techniques, and if the answer isn't an alternative, to just find a new therapist. It's laughably bad.
