It's not just different priorities. The average person will more consistently act against their own self-interests (eg their own priorities) because they simply cannot reason well enough to choose the best path forwards for themselves.

Wouldn't that effectively be asking Lyft to jump on a grenade for the greater good?

Drastically undercutting the competition means you leave money on the table. Let's just assume a 5% discount isn't enough to win riders but 15% is, should the cut fares but anything over 15% just to screw Uber? And does this risk setting a low enough market cap on Lyft that they could be compelled to take an acquisition offer simply because they so drastically under cut their potential revenue?

Startups' job isn't to fix a broken market, it's to either become self sufficientquickly or to 10x investor capital depending on the funding model. The only business model that can really justify cutting fares drastically would be a non-profit, maybe some kind of collective run by the drivers themselves.
The original (stated) point of surge pricing was to encourage more drivers to start work because of higher rates.
PE starting to buy up dentist practices certainly has nothing to do with that.
Outside of giving mathematicians a stroke, is that really unreasonable? I kind of like the idea of treating operations more regularly.
Very cheap small-sensor camera modules sometimes have as little as six bits of dynamic range, which will genuinely cause difficulties in photographing very dark-skinned people. A decent smartphone camera sensor will have at least ten bits of dynamic range and flagship mirrorless cameras are exceeding 14 bits, which approximately matches the dynamic range of the human eye.

For a reasonably good, reasonably modern sensor, any problems are somewhere else in the imaging chain. An 8 bit JPEG actually has about 11 bits of dynamic range due to the gamma curve, but excessive compression loss or color space errors might cause clipping. Most displays and commodity printers will have less than 10 bits of dynamic range, so you're going to see some level of dynamic range compression. Any image processing algorithms could cause a detrimental loss of dynamic range if they're weighted towards preserving highlight detail.

I have absolutely no doubt that someone from FNQ or the top end might experience real problems with cameras and I have no doubt that those experiences are hurtful and marginalising. Those problems are the result of either poor quality or poor design choices, not any inherent limitation of imaging technology.

> Driver pays for the car, gas and their time. And Uber pockets 50% of the fare? I’ve heard this from at least a few vocal drivers.

It is in Uber's interest to keep exactly as much of the fare as they can to the extent they still have riders and drivers. This was always the endgame.

> For months, supporters of Bill C-18, the Online News Act, assured the government that Meta and Google were bluffing when they warned that a bill based on mandated payments for links was unworkable and they would comply with it by removing links to news from their platforms.

So its already moved from “Facebook removing news is bad and not going to happen as a consequence of this law” (the quote) to “the Canadian government’s ban on news is good for Canada ( the comments here).

The intention was never to ban news. It was to take a cut. If they wanted to ban news that would have been the law. Regardless of whether you think the effect is good or not, the laws purpose has failed. It was a blunder.
> Most wedding photographers aren't using film.

They were using film “a long time ago”. Wedding photographers have only been shooting digital for 20 years or so.

Early digital had a somewhat poor dynamic range. It’s gotten better, but it was really rough in the early days.

> If you know how to use your equipment you shouldn't have any problem taking photos of people of any skin color, not even the lightest person next to the darkest.

This statement seems so obviously and fundamentally wrong that I must be missing something. I meet enough photographers that know how to use their equipment, but have never taken a decent photograph in their life, except one or two exceptions which appear to be accidents. This seems like a very natural and understandable thing to me—there’s a lot to painting besides understanding how to use brushes and paint, and there’s a lot to building a house besides knowing how to use a nailgun and circular saw. There’s a lot more to programming than knowing how to use your compiler.

Maybe I’m missing the meaning here, because it doesn’t make any sense to me.

> These days you shoot in raw with a digital camera, vary the exposure if needed, and set the white balance as needed when editing.

That’s the first week of photography 101. Have you taken more advanced photography courses? Have you ever taken a photograph of a dark-skinned subject, wearing a pure white dress, and then printed it out? My personal experience is, that once you print your photos out (which is normal for wedding photos), and get some people with an experienced eye to look at them and give them a critique, you start to develop an appreciation for how understanding your equipment & process is just the barrier for entry to the field, and it makes you a novice.

Let me tell you—it is not trivial to make the picture show a flattering image of both the dark skin, and the white dress, with the delicate details in both. You need to know a lot more than just how to use your equipment. It is especially difficult if you are not in control of the lighting.

The raw workflow is nice, but your raw file goes through a lot of processing to turn into a viewable image, and many of the stock presets are modeled after the way film does it. You’re not really escaping the problem, in any sense, by using raw.

Nah, they weren't. Their own leaked study (many years ago, I'll try and dig up a link) I recall showed at most a 5% improvement in their margins over time. This makes sense, as soon as one company has self-driving so will others. Any period where they are the exclusive self-driving ride hailing is fleeting at best. In time, it reverts to exactly the same as it's always been.

In my country they tried to sneak in similar laws into a "fake news" censorship law. There were provisions to preempt this exact move: it would have made it illegal for social media companies to block the links.

And on Android I just avoid the app. I hate that I couldn't turn off the automatic compass. Every time I finally manage to orient myself when in a new place, the map starts spinning like crazy.

Xen can do it, KVM had some attempts at memory enforcement patches, but not sure where it ended up. I'm not sure how well utilised it is though from the guest side ootb. (I think poorly)

A lot of the signing/module loading issues are prevented on the guest side though with https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/kernel_lockdown.7.html

I'm a professional musician but not on piano, and even I can tell the difference.

While it may be true that velocity is the only variable, it's not a physics problem. As a player you can't choose the instantaneous velocity for the note, and the note is played at the same time or immediately before/after other notes, which all adds more variables to the touch and the movement of the musician.

Therefore the whole action matters, including how the key travels, the decoupling point, the resistance of the multiple parts of the action, the rebound... etc

It's interesting you're happy to disregard pianists opinions on the matter. Perhaps you think experts are too mired in tradition to see the truth? That may be true sometimes, but you also don't have the same grasp of what's involved as they do.
I really want to see tech companies pull out of France and watch it collapse technologically overnight because of this. Ridiculous that the government can get away with acting like this.
I do have the same issue that some FPS are just not playable for me, because of this. I'm still not sure what the reason is. I can play Battlefield 3 for hours, but some shooters make me sick after a few minutes. Maybe it is a mix of things, for example I always disable motion blur and shaky camera. Also, the FOV is often wrong when using a 21:9 aspect monitor.
So the meat market is generally pretty healthy with an oligopoly at one stage of the supply chain? That actually sounds a lot better than I thought the meat market was. "Carving up" like that is also not a big problem unless they collude to do it, and it's a natural thing for an oligopoly market to do: each of the companies focuses on the niche they are best-equipped to serve, keeping in mind that their competition can come in if they get too greedy.

It's also a lot better than the ads market is, with literally one dominant player that monopolizes all stages of the supply chain. This is literally what Standard Oil did, controlling the wells, the refineries, and the distribution railroads to shut out competitors.

If you look at financial exchanges, there's a very good reason for the brokers and exchange to all be different companies.

Agree that's a bit much, they basically rule the CRTC (telecom regulator) which has never made an adverse decision against them to my recollection. The running joke was they had regulatory meeting at the National Golf Club in Toronto.

They do own a fair proportion of TV & radio outlets and political influence but I wouldn't call it running the country.

I think it is that on monitors we use RGB and on paper, if printing, we use CMYK colors; so there is a problem just going from on-screen to print in some cases. And brown is a tertiary color:

From https://www.canva.com/colors/color-meanings/brown/ :

"In a RGB color space (made from three colored lights for red, green, and blue), hex #964B00 is made of 58.8% red, 29.4% green and 0% blue. In a CMYK color space (also known as process color, or four color, and used in color printing), hex #964B00 is made of 0% cyan, 50% magenta, 100% yellow and 41% black. Brown has a hue angle of 30 degrees, a saturation of 100% and a lightness of 29.4%." (of course different browns will vary)

Since the mixing requires magenta, yellow and black, it is just that much more difficult to get it exactly correct.

If the world had used something other than CMYK, perhaps it would be easier - but it would likely still be a tertiary color which requires very careful quality control; and as you no doubt remember, early color printers suffered from "metamerism" where the perceived color/intensity would vary depending on the angle of the light hitting the ink on the paper, or the angle at which the paper was viewed.
The reality here is none of that will happen in all but the most egregious cases.

If either of those scenarios came to pass the police unions stand ready to defend them. At most the cop will get some paid leave and a settlement payout (as well as the victim at great expense to the town/city) and maybe cop will be transferred to a new department while the whole complaint is put under a NDA.

>> That srpm repo was taken away

Customers will always have access to srpms. They will, however, contain legally encumbered artifacts.

>> the access to the upstream git repos hasn’t changed

> but that does not allow building a 100% RHEL clone. although it is probably enough to build something sufficiently compatible.

Taking away sanitized srpm drops probably does affect those distros who would like to be a downstream of RHEL. Playing devil's advocate to downstreamers: But why wouldn't you want to collaborate with us in the upstream? Are they maybe implicitly recognizing the value in the engineering that Red Hat does? Or maybe even just the name Red Hat Enterprise Linux?

The GPL is a license and contract between two entities. We have no such contracts with non-customers. Maybe that is unfortunate.

In 2019 before IBM completed the acquisition, (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1087423/000108742319...), we had Sales & Marketing expenses of $1.38B. We spent $668.5M on R&D. About $2B spent on employees selling, marketing, teaching, documenting, building, maintaining, certifying, supporting, enhancing, testing OSS, including contributions to conferences, foundations, consortiums, of many, many different OSS interests. Over 200 upstream projects (https://redhatofficial.github.io/#!/main). I think about all the folks I've worked with in Consulting, Support, Engineering, Sales, Product Management, Technical Marketing, Recruiting. I think about their families and loved ones. ...And I feel like we're doing alright by OSS with what we're getting out of it. It might not be a perfect or ideal model for everyone. Most of us are willing to improve where we can.
