I'd like to see a separation between read and write permissions to the DOM for plugins personally. I would feel much better if I didn't have to give any plugin that might need to modify parts of a limited set of pages the ability to silently manipulate anything and everything I see in the browser. Read-only access could be granted by default, then only when a plugin sees something it wants to act on it could pop up and request my approval before doing so. The current approximation of that by disabling the plugin globally and enabling it on specific pages is so clunky and adds so much extra friction that I don't ever bother with it.

Not just that! For many hundreds of years there were over 250 ships a year trading between India and Rome, and tariffs on that trade alone accounted for 25% of the Roman Empire’s tax revenue. Among many other things, India fed the demand for transparent clothing, which was all the rage in the Roman Empire during that period.

ChatGPT is really good at answering specific questions. Just like asking a co-worker, it will do the best to its knowledge, but expect you to know how to integrate that knowledge.

It’s a very useful tool to see how to do something a different way, and sometimes it’s surprising and has some really good ideas!

The problem is people expect these tools to “just do it”, but that doesn’t work. You need to iterate—if it makes a mistake, nudge it in the right direction and you’ll find it knows how to intelligently adjust where it goes wrong.

I kind of have to agree, I recently thought I'll use sqlite in Rails for my new project to keep things simple but then realized it's actually more annoying for my use case. I'd need a persistent volume with the right permissions, and I can't just connect to my PG instance running on the server from my local machine to run some queries.

I'm sure it makes things easier for some use cases but it's not a given.
I totally forgot about this Taco Bell. I used to go there with my dad in the late 80's/early 90's (I grew up in that area).

Yes exactly! For Product Managers who dont get it, i've had this argument:

PM: OK, so you did your 5 tickets for this week, but it seems you also put in this cool other feature. If you had time for the cool feature, then why couldnt you just have done the 6th ticket instead which I had prioritied?

Me: Because I dont want to spend Saturday and Sunday on that 6th ticket, I want to do it on something I find interesting.

PM: ?

Me: I'm totally happy not to work on the cool features on my Saturdays and Sundays if that is creating problems, I can just work on open source projects instead, no problem at all.

PM: No please dont do that.
> Paying people more to cover undesirable shifts means that people with more flexibility or who choose to make more personal sacrifices will get paid more. I remember something about... pharmacists I think it was? and how these factors lined up with some of the traditional "group X gets paid more than group Y" groupings.

This is key because it’s close to the thing that made me go “ah ha” reading the intro: modern surveillance and algorithmically-managed pricing (so, cheaply modified at arbitrarily-fine resolution based on arbitrarily-many quantifiable factors) open up the possibility of pushing this exact effect from groups of workers to individual workers.

You can avoid (at least to some degree not previously achievable) addressing a pool of workers and instead only clear the rate for a particular worker. No human management input needed per-decision or in any part of the broader offer-decision process and surrounding data gathering and measuring, which is what makes it possible.
Script running on usercontent.github.com:

- is allowed to set cookies scoped to *.github.com, interfering with cookie mechanisms on the parent domain and its other subdomains, potentially resulting in session fixation attacks

- will receive cookies scoped to *.github.com. In IE, cookies set from a site with address "github.com" will by default be scoped to *.github.com, resulting in session-stealing attacks. (Which is why it's traditionally a good idea to prefer keeping 'www.' as the canonical address from which apps run, if there might be any other subdomains at any point.)

So if you've any chance of giving an attacker scripting access into that origin, best it not be a subdomain of anything you care about.

None of this works if your kid’s school requires a laptop. Which in 2024 all of them do. Kids older than 10 years old can easily bypass any “parental control” you can realistically deploy.

The Biden Admin didn't spend the money, it made the money __available to the States__ to fund proposals and contracts which the __States__ are responsible to manage.

The money is __allocated__, but it's not __spent__ until the States finish viable proposals, and with a completely new technology, that takes the States time.

> “State transportation agencies are the recipients of the money," ... “Nearly all of them had no experience deploying electric vehicle charging stations before this law was enacted.” ... the process — states have to submit plans to the Biden administration for approval, solicit bids on the work, and then award funds — has taken much of the first two years since the funding was approved.

> 17 states have not yet issued proposals

If anyone's at fault, it's the States.

"I declined, just because I want to support Uber."

Why? They are not providing anything real service in this case.

As with any gig work, the payout drops down to horrible levels once the company is established and has no real competitors. This may explain why some drivers now want to avoid Uber for longer rides.
You need to promote this to projectionists so they can play it on their IMAX systems.
If this outcome is a surprise to you, you have not been paying attention. Managers and Owners dream of reducing wages every single night. Every penny they aren't paying you is a penny they keep, and they, for some reason, think they are rightfully entitled to every penny, while you are a brat for feeling entitled to even a few pennies.

More importantly, if your boss doesn't think like that, you can expect his boss to replace him with a manager that DOES.

This downward force on labor prices is basically the entire point of the gig economy, and even youtubers whose only formal training is in how to write a high school essay figured this out.

For this reason, there is institutional pressure to turn anything they can into gig economies. If you don't have empathy for the uber drivers who sleep in their car to be able to make as many rides as they can and still somehow end up below minimum wage, don't worry, they'll come for you soon. And when they've made the gig economy literally the only gig in town, it doesn't matter how savvy you think you are at "negotiation", you will get fucked too.

Go read up on your labor rights history. None of what we have is a default, and the "haves" HATE it.

I would call this “defensive coding”, analogous to defensive driving. And comments that talk about something that isn’t there is way too defensive, kind of like the excessive braking and overly polite waving that can make 4 way stops so confusing. Write your code clearly, keep your functions wholly visible without scrolling, keep the comments to a minimum, and put the ideas that can’t be expressed as code in a README.
Huh? Uber are providing an estimate that taxi drivers won’t. Kind of the whole point of the comment.

When I was in Kenya last year (around Nairobi & the coast), I was shocked with how cheap the Ubers were. I was wondering how they could even pay for gas with the rates being so low. This answers that question and it's not at all surprising to find Uber yet again corrupting the market and the drivers paying the price.

At that time everything was going through the app like normal, but I did find that most drivers would call you to confirm the pickup or destination spots to be sure. I don't recall many if any cancellations.

During the rule of Pinochet the people of Chile we oppressed horrendously. Fascism is no excuse to justify economic growth. That is not the point. The point is to look at different economic systems and compare the results; not compare how they were implemented. Fortunately Pinochet’s power was not indefinite and Chileans became much freer economically and politically after he left.
That seems significantly harder to implement, though, given that dirty page cache entries don't have an order entry as far as I know, and so retroactively figuring out which writes not to reorder with others is anything but trivial.

Eh not sure I agree. Lyft has no presence in Kenya and don't think anyone uses Faras. Bolt has had its fair share of issues that have made it a slinkily option as well. Uber's pretty much the only reasonable option which is why the drivers are revolting.
I think one reason is that a subdomain of github.com (like username.github.com) might be able to read and set cookies that are shared with the main github.com domain. There are ways to control this but using a different domain (github.io is the one I'm familiar with) creates wider separation and probably helps reduce mistakes.

I read about this a while back but I can't find the link anymore (and it's not the same one that op pointed to).

So golden age of India was when the country with a seventh of the world's population won 2 nobel prizes over 5 decades ?

> The British rule also was the largest and most stable unification of India till the modern times. After 1850s there were almost no pockets of military resistance against the British rule.

Mughal and Gupta empires lasted over 3 centuries, Mauryan empire a little under 1.5 centuries. By comparison, east india company rule lasted a century and the British crown's rule less than that. So again completely incorrect.

There's your hint: if people on both sides of the aisle don't "want to admit" something, maybe it doesn't make sense. Not to mention a slap in the face of billions of Indians.

I used this (fbs) once for one of my early projects. A few notes that I remember:

- fbs was built ~2017

- to use Python 3.7+, PyQt6, or code signing, you need the paid version. The free version limits you to Python 3.6 and PyQt5.

- the main command is fbs freeze, which builds an executable

- fbs requires a couple changes to your project structure and main.py, compared to the default PyQt way

Setting labor price by exchange-like auction is an abusive practice in any context.

You wonder why so many businesses are mean to you? It's because they've already looked you up and believe from the data that you won't be a good customer.

The dealership can also just call the bank to verify funds. Which would be reasonable and non-discriminatory all without needing a third party and wouldn't involve your salary at any level. Aside from this it's the financing company that cares, not the dealership, who only wants the car off their floor credit plan.

So what you're saying is it _shouldn't_ matter if you have money, because if you're a low income earner, you should be treated poorly, and you're happy to be personally invested in a system which creates this outcome.

It not only should be regulated but you should feel a little gross for saying any of this outloud.
Wow, I remember using this 10 years ago.
We shouldn't be oblivious to those advantages and disadvantages, since then we can't decide as a society whether those advantages and disadvantages should remain or be altered. That alone is a good reason to regulate this away.

Or at the very least, require Equifax to send free physical mail notifications to everyone when their data is accessed, stating when, by whom, why, and what answer was given. (Physical mail because there's no other predictable way for the general population.) Yes, I realize this would be financially unsustainable for Equifax as they currently operate, but that's their problem to solve. Even as someone who myself has excellent credit and many years of high income in my file, they're creepy and shouldn't be catered to at the expense of our privacy.
Oh wow, super excited to see this posted. Will be on the lookout for updated tutorials. If anyone has good suggestions there, I'm game to check them out.
This list strikes me as overly nitpicky. Certainly some of the bad example usage is a problem (e.g. mb vs. MB means two very different things, millibit vs. megabyte), but so much of this in practice just really doesn't matter.

Sure, if I'm doing a bit of formal writing, I'm going to do things correctly. But I don't see it as a problem for people to use odd abbreviations like "mtrs" or incorrectly pluralize as "kms" in informal writing. People will not have trouble knowing what you mean. No one is going to say things like "I drove 3 megameters over the past couple weeks". (Reading some of the longer explanations below seems to indicate that the author is not just talking about formal writing.)

And even in formal writing, a few of these are bit much, like good luck getting people to stop using electron-volts in favor of picojoules.

This just seems silly; it's hard to take this piece seriously, and all of the nitpicky arguments seriously undermine the (few) good arguments listed.
