Which may not be a bad thing. As other commenter shared anocdote, him getting cut off because of bogus accusation is not nice. If Uber had to eat the loss, instead of carelessly impossing it on their "employees", they could probably do more thorough screening of onboarding employees, which would benefit the customer as well.
I'm reminded of the 00's era joke that Microsoft could burn billions of dollars, pivot to becoming a vacuum cleaner manufacturer, and finally make something that doesn't suck.

I don't think Google dying would be good (lots of things would have to migrate infra suddenly), but the adtech being split off into something else would certainly be a welcome turn of events, IMO. I'm tired of seeing promising ideas killed because they only made 7-figure numbers in a spreadsheet where it'd have been viable on its own somewhere it wasn't a rounding error.
It's nice to see another pg proxy using the pgx parser (their src[1]) - I built one using this lib too. However, this implementation is missing a lot of low level features to be considered close to compatible, including: multi-query transactions, auth, TLS, extended query mode, query cancellation.

Indeed. One single racist encounter of mine ruined my past 2 decades. I can’t help but think about it all the time till this day. It’s honestly wondrous how a simple insult of 2 words could destabilize my mental health and even pushed me over the tide to harming myself seriously once, thankfully I was rushed to the hospital fast. I’m still getting nightmares every other day, the blurry face of that stranger waking me up in cold sweats (I couldn’t properly see her because it was night). I even got recently diagnosed with terminal cancer due to chronic stress, and my obesity didn’t get any better since the incident. All because some random stranger shouted me 2 random words at some random hour of the night on some random street.

There's an awful lot of SEO people on Twitter that claim to be connected to Google, and the article he links on the Google domain as a reference doesn't say anything on the topic that I can find. I'm reluctant to call that an official source.
Policies definitely work by creating friction. They dont stop all crimes, but they deter them. Just like locks on doors: sure people can break the locks, but often it deters them just enough not to bother.

My wife, kids and I all work or study mostly from home, so often all on our computers in our separate crates^H^H^H^H^H^Hrooms. We use Beebeep to be able to message back an forth when needed. It doesn't need a server and has both Linux (me) and Windows (everyone else) clients which was the deal clincher.

It works pretty well, although sometimes you have to restart after your laptop wakes up before it sees others on the LAN. That and not being able to open a message window to someone direct from the tray icon are really my only grips. Can cut and paste pictures (of funny cats) and even send files and other capabilities I've never used. (This is not a paid advertisement, I've just started rambling.)

There are a surprising (or unsurprising depending on your perspective) number of hardware bugs out there. There are published errata that I had hit before they were documented. It’s not always very much fun - and leads to a lot of head scratching.
I doubt a lot of that is inertia though. Most of those are due to tax/regulatory burdens that make it important to have some idea where your customers/counterparties are physically located. Outside of some inconceivably radical changes, I don't see most of the stuff you list being able to get away from the idea of a permanent residence.

A third party service who's contracted to do it would be the right move in that case. Operating critical processes through a company with no obligation to provide that service is dumb. The evidence is in the outcome here.

California, Texas, Florida, and New York also top the list of the highest number of people in the US by state (and while Michigan is the whole way down at #10 rather than #5, the gap between #10 and #5 isn’t that big – much smaller than the gap between #4 an #5), so this much of the analysis says very little, because the very large size differences of the few largest states are masking anything interesting that might exist in the distribution.

>Even if it improves dramatically, so what?

depends on your life goals. If you're just minmaxing money and want to retire by 40-50 with time for the family or leisure, sure. You ideally want to minimize time working, and not necessarily maximize efficiency. If your goal is (personal) growth or expertise in a domain, that communication gap can potentially impact your growth, perhaps even cap you without outside study (which turns into work outside of work).

There's no right answer, you simply have to be honest about your end game.
I wonder, how does this handle a single transaction that contains both reads and writes? Maybe it just says "within a transaction, all reads and writes go through the Postgres proxy, SQLite is ignored"?
It starts off with some lovely historical scene setting. Then we get to the "discussion about the first principles". It's been a while - my Latin is a bit rusty.

"He was confident that we can know God’s existence by the unaided work of natural reason"

"One dogma that he thought philosophy could demonstrate was the existence of God. ... but he also thought that philosophy, or natural reason, could demonstrate that there is a supreme nature"

If you start off with the presumption of something existing, there is a very high probability that you will prove its existence, to your satisfaction.

If you believe in a particular God there is no need to subvert other doctrines or philosophies. You already have your proof, in your beliefs and faith. That is literally the definition of faith. You don't even need dogma (unless you do because you believe you do).

Faith is faith. If you start messing deity existence around with philosophy and science then things may get a bit sticky.

Scotus seems like a really clever lad in the 1300s who had some superb philosophical ideas. If only he hadn't wasted his intellect on theology! However, we would probably not know of him outside of theology if he hadn't been a priest. Thank the Lord for small mercies.
Perhaps you should be asking why you don't have those protections?
If you're terminated you still get benefits like COBRA healthcare and can in almost all cases file for unemployment (which is money you've already paid into the system anyways). You have protections and a basic safety net. Gig workers have _none_ of that help.

You should probably reflect on why you don't seem to realize the extreme privilege and benefits you have and instead choose to blame or vilify low paid gig workers who are subsidizing and delivering the treats you demand and consume daily.

I drove Kona EV for nearly a year and they are certainly nice. Had a look at Ioniq 5 and they are absolutely beautiful, but still really behind times.

Software is far too basic, just like rest of automotive. Auto-hold needs a button press on each drive, which is just silly. You need to disable fake noise on every drive. Start/stop is just an insult to intelligence. Frunk is basically useless when it's a size of glovebox and has two doors to open.

Only thing Hyundai excels is V2L which is kinda useful, but I'm sure it's not as popular as people think. And the adapter itself costs more than a gas generator.
Thanks for the starting point. I'll give an update if I'm able to successfully run the other models. I hope it could help the community.
When one group of people fight for and/or win new rights, it doesn't mean that people believe that is the only group who deserve those rights. So yes, you should be protected too. Same with those gig workers. We all should be protected and we should celebrate anytime someone gets that protection. We don't have to view the world as a zero-sum game in which someone else getting something means you lose something.

Earnestly not trolling, but would that actually benefit the customer? Part of the benefits of a service like Uber is having a lot of people willing and able to drive to/from places all over. If they're rejecting more people and increasing cost due to more thorough screening, the service likely gets worse and costs more, which means less people use it, so less people want to drive for it, and that starts to spiral.

I'm willing to believe that outcome may be better in the abstract, since I'm not a big fan of Uber in the first place, but it's not clear that the average user of Uber wants that trade.

Most of these cases involve resolving how (or whether) a current situation must be brought into alignment with current laws, rather than how laws could look in 10+ years, so I think it's reasonable for much of the discourse to reflect that.

Sure, we could dramatically overhaul national employment laws and legal theory, but that's not what courts are supposed to do during a lawsuit, and it's usually outside the scope of what many local/state legislatures are prepared and willing to tackle.

I think in this context, saying that it's not a thing that google doesn't like old content just means that google doesn't penalize sites as a whole for including older pages, so deleting older pages won't help boost the site's ranking.

This is not the same as saying that it doesn't prioritize newer pages over older pages in the search results.

The way it's worded does sound like it could imply the latter thing, but that may have just been poor writing.

And for product documentation for version n-2.x, it's easy enough to see the use case for why a customer might need it. (e.g. they have some other product that's version locked to it) But there is a ton of collateral, videos, etc. that companies produce that get stale, musty, or just plain wrong and if you leave them all out there it's just a mess that's now up to the customer to decide what's right, what's mostly right, and what's plain wrong.

So, while there may be some historical interest in how we were talking about, say, cloud computing in 2010, that's the kind of thing I keep in my personal files and generally wouldn't expect a company to keep searchable on its web site.
I love my XM5s. I mow with them on, I row with them on, I take Zoom calls and phone calls with them on, they work great. I love the pass thru mode to hear ambient noises too.
This seems like a perfectly normal consequence of the "at-will" employment resultant from the primary place liberty has in our society. I see nothing wrong with it and think this paradigm should continue and expand. I would say you have as much reason to continue to expect Uber issue you contracts as Uber has that you continue to accept them, namely none at all. A consensual relationship is one that can be terminated at any time without justification.

you receive WAY more protection than an uber driver (even with these rules) - federal law (and probably state?) dictate a whole host of reasons that employees may not be fired for, and there are an army of attorneys who will happily (and are legally empowered to) sue your [former] employer in an actual court (not arbitration), and what's more they'll almost always work on contingency.

Why else would uber be so desparate to prevent their drivers from being classified as employees?

Good point. I am aware of the differences between social class as it is in the UK and economic class. I should have specified I'm talking about American-style economic class.

In the US, working class tends to mean people in food service, retail sales, low-skill manual labor, people relying on gig work, and some very low-level white-collar workers like secretaries. Upper class are basically the very few people for whom work is optional. F500 CEOs, SVPs, billionaire investors, and so on. Their existing wealth grows at a rate that can sustain their and their family's standard of living indefinitely.

The rest is middle class, a very wide range from schoolteachers, to skilled tradesmen, to engineers, to university professors, to small business owners, to doctors and so on.

My point is that people are nit-picking when they say things like "Oh, but doctors are upper middle class and teachers are lower middle class and engineers are lower upper middle class and on and on and on. Distinction without a meaningful difference.

Something like that actually happened to me: FedEx will not listen to you, not care, not even give you a way to raise such a request. If you persist in not paying, this will be sent to debt collection. If you persist in not paying, your credit score will be affected.

There is simply no part of FedEx customer service that would deal with it, or if there is, it's well hidden. Yes you could probably go to court over this, but this is almost certainly not worth the time and money.

Faster, cheaper, and much better at code / math.
Surprising to some, perhaps, but the average Uber ride did not end in violence or a vehicular accident injuring people that had to be prevented by regulation. To the dismay perhaps of taxi/limousine commissioners, the average driver was a relatively decent human being who - given the preexisting apparatus in place to license drivers - did a good job, and cared about his car and his rating on the app to continue to do so. What happened for decades in cities like New York where taxi medallions were so expensive you could retire on their sale was big tech disrupting a dysfunction at its best. As for the cost, I didn't lose any sleep at night worrying that I was subsidized by Saudi Royal Family money. When the prices went up, it was never at a rate much worse than a cab.
