Nah, the idea just needs additional elaboration to protect it against gaming the system like you describe, without introducing systemic discrimination against passengers in less trendy areas.

Here is a quick brainstorm of one possible fix, without any promises I didn’t overlook a flaw in this idea: maybe the minimum wage per some suitably granular time period when not currently or recently driving a passenger could be made to vary somewhat depending on whether enough other vehicles from the fleet are in the area, and could then potentially have a percentage penalty subtracted for not accepting and timely arriving to a high enough percentage of offered ride opportunities.

Plus, of course, if some drivers game the system, Uber and Lyft can notice those abusive patterns in the data and stop working with them, disincentivizing other drivers from similar abuse. That’s the biggest countermeasure. The problem we are discussing is only Uber and Lyft abruptly locking out a driver mid-shift purely to save money. Nobody is objecting to Uber ending a relationship abruptly due to documented driver abuse or even doing so without driver misconduct but with reasonable notice.

And no, I don’t assume that movers are already paired up with customers. They present the minimum number of billable hours per visit as part of their standard terms during the first conversation with a new potential customer, and at least in the residential moving space, customers don’t generally argue with it.

The reason customers don’t argue with it is largely because movers can easily get another customer by doing almost nothing (at least in the big cities where I’ve lived) whereas it’s a hassle for customers to juggle too many different potential moving companies when planning the move.

But another factor is that the minimum hourly rate billings are reasonable, typically 1-3 hours per visit in my personal experience, likely because there is enough competition among moving companies that offering unreasonable terms will lose them customers.

I completely realize the power dynamic is different in the ride-sharing space, and I acknowledged that in my previous comment. But that just changes how the negotiation has to occur in order to balance out Uber and Lyft’s disproportionate power, not whether it can work in a gig worker context.
One of the houses I lived in during college had rounded room corners, and it was a very old house. I'm not sure how it was done.
You seem to think this is some sort of "gotcha".

I can, and other citizens have told our Prime Minister exactly what they think of him to his face. They're completely free to do so.

Just googling around it seems Assange had support of the overwhelming majority of Australians (going by a 2023 poll conducted by a Sydney newspaper)

They are indeed “doing just fine” which I am sure is what you must have been referencing — from one of their most famous songs:

Buy me a Becks beer
or pass me the bong
Gimme some Bushmills
I'll sing you this song
Open another
big box of cheap wine
We're over 30
we’re doing just fine

The last time I saw them live it was pushing 40 instead of over 30 and that was nearly a decade ago.
MSFT used to be exceptionally evil. Halloween documents, how they screwed IBM with OS/2, their fake pen windows demo to kill Go corp, SCO trials, the skullduggery with Netscape and the antitrust case.

They pillaged and burned the competition in the 80s and 90s, legendary stuff.

Now what? They have a cloud login like everyone else?

Well ok!
> but the bulk of it is produced for the moment.

But to a historian it is all a series of moments. To understand how/why one happened, it is useful to know the ones that came before, and things created for the moment might better describe it than those with a wider purview.

Of course you don't need it all, but deciding what to keep is a complex (and bias ridden, accidental or otherwise) problem in its own right.

>But if it's possible to degrade it i solar-powered furnaces without any hazardous/toxic byproducts, it's already worth it.

Bottles don't carry themselves to solar-powered furnaces. If we assume that they did (and plastic oceans in the pacific demonstrate otherwise), then we could target the much-easier problem of making plastics that are stable when dumped in a landfill.
I'm guessing lucrative contracts are handed out to well-connected people for app development, most of which aren't used.

Apple seems to be really afraid that if they give people the ability to emulate an old computer on an iPad, they'll just install Windows 98 on there and stop using iOS nearly as much.
Nature doesn't have a normal temperature. Some places hit 40 C regularly, others never go that high.
Not sure how many at HN saw the Apache gunship mowing down civilians and journalists with cannon fire. Assange did a great service to shine light on the barbarians in action under the guise of saving freedom and democracy and paid a heavy price.
It's not just "DNC and US intelligence." Wikileaks tried to influence the 2017 election in France among other examples. See https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacronLeaks. This partially backfired when the dump of e-mails they published was found to contain russian-language messages.

That Wikileaks systematically favors the russian government, and never does anything contrary to the interests of the russian government, strongly suggests they are an asset of russia.
>I don't buy this meme that CxOs are willing to hurt company efficiency just to protect personal real estate investments

I do. Think of all the inefficiencies you've seen reported (or reported yourself) and nothing is done. On the grand scale companies have abandoned the idea of retaining talent altogether, with best performers leaving over the refusal for some 10% CoL raise and hiring/training a new person for 20% more.

I think the most dangerous part is that these aren't rational actors fully focused on maximizing long term profits. So they aren't making seemingly rational decisions.

As an alternative viewpoint, there are probably a lot of peer pressure from people we never see nor hear about that can influence these CxO's as well. They are still people at the end of the day (85% of the time or so). if their friends or [company they admire] do something they will follow suit, no matter how incompatible it is with their company.

I also agree that there is too much churn in the Rust ecosystem and that we should try and slow things down in the coming years. ntpd-rs also does this: our MSRV is 1.70 right now (that was released over a year ago) and we test our code on CI against this version (as well as the current stable release). And we go a little further. Using the `direct-minimal-versions` (nightly only right now unfortunately) flag we downgrade our dependencies to the minimal ones we've specified in our `Cargo.toml` and test against those dependencies as well, as well as the latest dependencies specified in `Cargo.lock` which we update regularly. This allows us to at least partially verify that we still work against old versions of our dependencies, allowing our upstream packagers to more easily match their packages against our own. Of course we all should update to newer versions whenever possible, but sometimes that is hard to do (especially for package maintainers in distributions such as Fedora and Debian, who have to struggle with so many packages at the same time) and we shouldn't create unnecessary work when its not needed. Hopefully this is our way of helping the ecosystem slow down a little and focus more on security and functionality and less on redoing the same thing all over again every year because of some shiny new feature.
Why Are Policies and Procedures Important?
It's to my benefit because I'd prefer HN not to turn into what reddit ended up as, as then it'd lose its usefulness for me. I don't think it's my job, no, and hence why this is the first time I've done this. But knowing that the moderators aren't heavy handed around here it falls to the existing community to govern itself to a degree. People are free to flag my message if they feel it's inappropriate.
Of course, Cloudflare always tries to put the blame on the website owners which just enable a list Cloudflare provides them. Assuming the author is right, it's Cloudflare's fault for not vetting their data, not the website owner.
The damage to freedom of speech is already done. Any free society can't afford to not investigate the way the justice system has been abused in multiple democratic nations to achieve a punishment without conviction. The people who carried that out should be held to account.

I get that the US has (had?) an interest to make him pay and that the only thing that really counts in geo-politics is power — but I don't see why my country should be allied with a nation that punishes the people uncovering their war crimes instead of (at least: also?) punishing those who carried them out.

That being said I can't shake the feeling that it would also be to some degree in the self interest of US citizens that their government respects the rule of law.

Most "bioplastics" like PLA want 60C or so; this is achievable in industrial composting (it's actually achievable in normal composting if you find an expert) but the process of getting and keeping the bioreactor to that temperature is slow. We'd need a lot of these things, so I hope society starts to build them.

But the more I experiment with 3D printing, the more obvious it is that the problems include:

- separating this stuff out in the first place so that you know what can be composted

- parts fixed with non-biodegradable glues

- dyes, pigments, plasticisers that aren't biodegradable either

- difficulty reusing manufacturing waste

Industrial 3D printing is going to be a bigger and bigger part of our plastics use over time, because it enables products to be iterated long before you reach the kind of economy of scale that supports injection moulding. This also cuts down on waste; shocking amounts of plastic goes directly to landfill because of high-scale unsold inventory.

So a significant development would be actually improving the chances of reusing waste. But it's only a small part of that problem.
Numbers too?

Population of 280 million. So about 10k users per app... Not actually that weird if you think of scale.
For a long time I used a hairdresser (aka barber or hair stylist - but I’m male with simple short hair) who worked at two salons (aka barber shop from the mindset of customers like me) every week. It definitely happens. A typical model in that area (NYC) for hairdressers who didn’t own the salon was to rent a chair at a salon, but they weren’t employees and were totally allowed to do part-time chair rentals at multiple salons at once.

Her contract with my salon prevented her from telling me her other salon, so I had to switch hairdressers instead of staying with her when she stopped working at that salon.

The other hairdresser I switched to later bought the salon from the previous owner when he retired, complete with a rename of the salon from his name to hers. I still use her when I need a haircut and am in NYC. And yes, there are still other hairdressers working there, presumably each renting a chair as she previously did.
They are super fun live.

aHR and RR are broadly comparable.

Key findings from the diabetes study (this one):

Night light exposure in the 90-100th percentile (brightest nights): aHR = 1.53 [1.32-1.77]
Night light exposure in the 70-90th percentile: aHR = 1.39 [1.24-1.57]
Night light exposure in the 50-70th percentile: aHR = 1.29 [1.14-1.46]

Key findings from N=1 million birth control use impact on depression study (https://scholar.google.com/scholar_lookup?journal=JAMA+Psych...) :

Combined oral contraceptives: RR = 1.23 [1.22-1.25] for first use of antidepressants
Progestin-only pills: RR = 1.34 [1.27-1.40] for first use of antidepressants
Patch (norgestrolmin): RR = 2.0 [1.76-2.18] for first use of antidepressants
Vaginal ring (etonogestrel): RR = 1.6 [1.55-1.69] for first use of antidepressants

In my opinion, if you are okay with birth control, you are probably okay with using light at night.

I'm pretty sure it's a screen cutout - the corners are still rounded when fullscreen zooming, and on asahi linux. There's also another cutout for the notch at the top of the screen. Also, it's not a great panel and the blacks aren't very good - you can still see light coming from the monitor with a full back image in fullscreen and it changes based on brightness.

So if it is software, then it's very low level and with darker blacks than anything else on screen, and has a super tiny bezel right at the corner. I'm pretty sure it's a cutout.
I'd like to know what you're proposing as an alternative. There are savings, we want to take those savings and give them to businesses to invest and grow and then share in the profits. This is good for the investor and for the business and as a result for the economy in general. It's literally a positive sum game - there may be inequality in society, but in general everyone is getting richer over time.

Someone has to figure out the mechanics of taking that money and investing it. Who would you propose does that? And what do you think is a fair share for that job? If you think the Hedge funds fees are too high? Fine, take your money out of whatever hedge fund and stick it in SPY or pick stocks yourself, but there's good reasons you wouldn't want to do that.

Your snark is unnecessary, unjustified, and frankly probably breaking this site rules. The original claim was:

>would expect the consequents of mental illness (most obviously suicide, but also violent crime) to have increased since 1900, around the time that sanitized fairy tales were popularized

i.e. "if fairy tales are the cause of suicide, it should increase consistently since 1900". This is clearly not the case, as proven by your own data. "Things we were doing in 1950-1980 worked and things we did later don't" is a very different discussion and not the one you were having. It seems to me that it is you who misunderstood the argument and are aggressive to your opponent for absolutely no reason.

Curiously, I get why Go doesnt include the source code in its binaries — presumably a hangover from the long standing tradition of source for me but not for thee, as well as sever constraints on resources meaning source-included would be a frivolity — but are there compiled languages where it is an option to include the source?

The only one I can think of is TypeScript where it builds source maps to help debug the underlying JavaScript without having to see it.
IMHO, NVDA has already planned for this to happen. It remains to be seen if they can kickstart the next wave of enthusiasm before the current one runs out, and keep the stock afloat.

The key had unquestionably leaked, and though it wasn't wide spread at the time, it inevitably would be. Things were already starting

Wikileaks said their decision to publish was to prevent third parties from tampering with the leaks creating false stories, but it was likely primarily that Assange and Wikileaks wanted the credit for the leak. Not a noble reason, but it still wasn't their fault they were in that shitty situation.
For me it’s actually something I built myself, though it will never ever be used by anyone but me probably lol.

I build a lot of chrome extensions, and they don’t have a nice dev experience by default. So I use the Vite build tools to introduce a live reload-like functionality while I’m building extensions.

It’s much faster than the default experience, but the setup is too complex for most.

It requires installing an npm script, running it (which runs a web socket), running a Vite build step In watch mode, setting up your folder in a specific manner, installing my extension, and then passing a web socket port number and extension ID to my extension.

Doing all this give make the extension you are developing instant reloads while you code it up in whatever framework you are using (typescript, react, svelte, whatever …)

But it also breaks randomly lol

This isn't Biden being decent though.

They're forcing Assange to 'confess' to a crime in the US, where he has never been and which creates enormous problems. It should be remembered how severe what the US was doing at the time. They got some people handed over to them here in Sweden, who they agreed to not torture, and then started already at the airport. They had torture facilities in Poland, where people almost certainly died, etcetera.

What Assange did was legal and what the many activities the US was engaging in to obtain people abroad etc., illegal. He has no duty to the US, because he is not a US citizen or permanent resident.

Consequently even this is not a friendly act from Biden. It ends Assange's imprisonment, but it is a use of threats in order to obtain something from him, namely his 'confession'.
But they're not very bright. How much can you really do if you have to squint to make out anything more than the sentences immediately adjacent to the candle?
If it biodegrades at 60C in a month it’s probably gone after ten years in the ocean, which is a big improvement.
If the press of the US is unable to tell us about US war crimes that actually happened, that is the only thing to get.

It might be wise to consider that knowing your own government is not that strict about the rule of law when it comes to horrible crimes is also in your interest if you live inside of the US. The US is an absolute behemoth of power and utterly unable to police itself. If it was, Assange wouldn't have had to do anything at all.
