Wonderful to see this type of transparency from at top security vendor.
And is car dependency not a tax on the poor as well? If the government only builds car-based infrastructure that requires a car then that is a tax on everyone is it not?
For a brief period, I worked Uber(eats) and DoorDash at the same time. I'm absolutely convinced that the two services speak to each other on the backend (or perhaps monitor each other on your phone) and structure the orders they offer you in such a way as to thwart you efforts to double-app. Uber would be utter silent for 10-20 minutes, and then send an order right after accepting a DoorDash one, and generally in the opposite direction.

In general, I do wonder if/when all of the slimy anti-competitive, anti-labor stuff these companies are doing will come out. I'm not holding my breath for jail-time, but boy, would it be nice.

While I'm here, it sure would be nice if someone were to spin up a fediverse/decentralized alternative that municipalities could adopt and interconnect.
By your logic, half or more of all children would be in prison before they even hit 10 years old. Fighting and violence is very normal, and it takes a lot of teaching and social pressure to make it as rare as it is.
Those look like Lime scooters, right? It seems like with a time and location, Lime ought to be able to identify whose account was used to rent the scooters. They store a GPS trace for every ride.

>It could have lasting effects but did it? Only the actual harms matter to me.

Dude come on. I know that you know this is a shit argument, so Im not even going to entertain it.

>So the penalty is vengeance

The "penalty" is not a penalty, its a removal of that person from the rest of society. Like I said, I would be for full reintegration centers. Put that person on LSD/Shroom/MDMA/Ketamine therapy, put him to work, build out reward systems for normal human behavior, and when he has demonstrated that he can hold down a job and resolve conflicts normally, put him back into society.

The opposite is also true, Oregon spent millions ($130k per month) for a phone number to help people with addictions. It has so little calls it come to about $10k per call. It’s kind of like how some startups can spend too much time optimizing instead of growing.

Your rightousness assumptions speak of little thought and tolerance it is just pointless to argue with you so why even bother writing in more detail.
Of course this post is written in jest but fck-nat is useful enough that adult organizations adopt it despite the name, as an actual example of “profane but useful software that jumps over the wall of corporate use”. It helps that the specific use case it’s built for is something you usually only run into when you have corporate level spend on AWS
> People are really freaked out about hallucinations, but you can totally tackle that with solid prompts.

> The goal is to boost consistency whenever you're feeding PDF context into an LLM-powered tool.

These two assertions are contradictory.

There are no "solid prompts" which obviate anthropomorphic "LLM hallucinations." Also, there is no deterministic consistency when "feeding PDF context" into an intrinsically non-deterministic algorithm, as any "LLM-powered tool" is by definition.
In America, everyone will be in the "fast" lane.
_generally speaking_ most data science is "we tried this and it improved this metric" the how and why is often poorly understood, and even when it is, it's often later once the system has been working for awhile.

But also I'm not convinced that getting someone to pay more is the same as screwing them over. For example - countries where fines are based on your income, or needs based programs that charge you less when you make less are mostly accepted as social good

Around 40% of inmates in the US will reoffend, many finding themselves back in prison (and subsequently released) within the year. Violent crimes can be at a low and repeat violent criminals can still be a problem. Most crime in the US is done by a fraction of the population, and we are doing nothing to actually address rehabilitation. We simply let them go and watch as they hurt more people.

You can try to hand wave this away as “alt-right propaganda” all you want, but the government’s statistics don’t lie.
"Their annual health assessments". Is that something everyone, or maybe every student, in the UK has?
Well, generally, they tell everyone the price. In this case, they're only telling you the price, and that price might change tomorrow, or in 5 minutes, or if you move 5 blocks to the south, or if the local commuter train gets delayed, or... By how much, for each input? Who knows. Hence, the concern about the lack of transparency.
How the term is used: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability

From Karl Popper: "The only way to verify a claim such as "All swans are white" would be if one could theoretically observe all swans, which is not possible. On the other hand, the falsifiability requirement for an anomalous instance, such as the observation of a single black swan, is theoretically reasonable and sufficient to logically falsify the claim."

How is this different from what I am saying?

If Apple cared about gamers, they wouldn't have blocked proper Vulkan support. They simply don't care. A major reason to stay away from Apple if you are a gamer.
You got a source for that? Because ive heard it before but never seen any evidence for it and it screams political propaganda to me. The US has not been soft on criminals in a long long time, that is why it has near 25% of the total world prison population.
> I like how people in comments are keen to change the world, but I - more realisticly - only focus on gaming the system so I can actually save myself couple bucks right away.

This type of attitude sometimes makes the world a worse place. If everyone has this attitude, the system can break down.

> I rarely rate drivers positively

Drivers live or die by their rating. Refusing to give good reviews harms the drivers who are already barely scraping by. This is a very good example of how you can cause real world harm with by trying to game the system for yourself.

Most ISP's have a central point of contact / administration, and can be compelled to only forward encrypted traffic if it's explicitly permitted. I think that covers most everything, besides the chattering of a few ham radio operators here and there.
It seems to be mistakes and bad luck all around. The crash seems to be poor driving rather than deliberate recklessness*, running away is an odd and risky behavior (one would hope, in terms of legal consequences) in addition to being wrong, and refusing medical treatment was a huge mistake.

> Around 40% of inmates in the US will reoffend, many finding themselves back in prison (and subsequently released) within the year.

Why?

Having served their time are they dumped without resources and the stigma of a criminal conviction with limited ability for employment and support?

The US is outstanding extreme in the per capita imprisonment rate which speaks to some systemic issue, however to be fair the US is about middle of the pack for G20 recidivism rates after (say) four years.

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/recidivis...

~ 40% seems commonplace.
Completely anecdotal.

I feel if I open Uber ahead of a planned travel and type in a destination to get an idea on the price, the price is $X. I then open the app back later when I'm ready to travel (say 15 minutes later after packing and leaving the hotel) and the price has gone up (sometimes by quite a bit).

Now maybe I'm just unlucky and the dynamic market prices have gone up every time, but I've never seen the same price or less.

Which makes me wonder if Uber records your interest in using them to get to a destination and then increases the price when you come back after committing to using them for your trip.

I now only open the app and search when I'm ready for the trip.
I’m not sure that they meant financial auditors when they created that quote. They were talking about people with either police powers or state security apparatus that does more than verifying financial metrics and can actually do something beyond changing a few numbers in a spreadsheet from a far.
The electric scooters shown in the pictures in the article usually go at most about 15 mph.
In the UK, I found the relevant setting was present (and had been turned on) for my profile when this came to my attention last week. Curiously, I can no longer find that setting now.

Given the UK’s privacy and data protection environment is still largely the same as the EU’s, I wonder whether this was an oversight.
I like “zero metrics” followed up by “vast majority”. It is like “the problem is that there is no data to support the thing that I’m about to say, which I am sure of regardless”
> Don't force them into a one-size-fits-all because some people like it.

Do people looking for a one-size-fits-all option not deserve a product in the market?

Sensible defaults are great, until the user does try to do something. The number of options in the settings has become pretty overwhelming, even on iOS. Going in there to do something simple can quickly lead a user to be overwhelmed and seeking help. You're right, all these options do represent features, but aren't adding value to this type of user.

The iPhone has a mode to reduce complexity called Assistive Access, but that's one more thing to setup, so someone who does understand the complexity needs to be in a person's life to really use it. There are also products, like the Light Phone, being sold to address this issue people have.

Every product has to make a choice on which features are included, and how much control is given to the users. These choices all sit on a continuum between simple/one-size-fits-all to complex/full-user-control. Each product tries to find the sweet spot that resonates with the most users in their target market segment. It should be good that we have products that fall at different places on that continuum, and not try to force everyone into one type of product that only serves one type of user.

My own view is a little different, but has a similar end result. My phone is a tool that I just want to work. I'm not looking for another hobby. If I went to Android I wouldn't be able to help myself from going down rabbit holes. With the iPhone I never even think about it, and I like it that way. We all make choices with our purchase on where the complexity lives in our life. Someone might have a really complex camera with a million manual settings, but drive a Tesla that doesn't require much effort. While someone else may be a gear head that wants to work on and know every part in their engine, but they want a simple cell phone they don't have to think about. To go deep in one area, we need to sacrifice how deep we go in other areas.

So that's my argument against the powers that be trying to force infinite customization. Let the market take care of it. If people stop buying iPhones, then Apple will know they are doing something wrong, and they can adjust. But if people are buying them, then the users must like where Apple is choosing position it and the balance they're striking. What's wrong with that?
Anecdotally, I find if I go to Lyft, then go to Uber, and back to Lyft 30s later, I often get an updated decreased price.
The whole reason many people ride bikes on the sidewalk is that even 25 mph streets are too fast for their comfort.
Maybe I’m getting old, but my long time preference for Arch is slowly being overtaken by my appreciation for Debian. It’s not the usual complaint about stability — I’ve had one issue in a dozen years with Arch — I just reached a point where I feel like I’m living in the future running Linux software from five years ago, so maybe I don’t need to upgrade quite so relentlessly. Anything I don’t have, I can compile.

Not sure about most of the people, but for me it's the high. I kinda get the same high from long walks (20km+) though, and since I don't really enjoy running, that's my gateway to achieve the same result. On an average day when I have 4-5 hours to kill, the last 30% of the walk feels beyond amazing.
Oh, then it's fine?
> Only the actual harms matter to me.

Like you, I'm also a consequentialist. Not everyone else is!

It is neither vengeance nor deterrence. It is (supposed to be) protection of the public from this (supposedly) dangerous individual.
Do you have any sources to back the claim that it is "on purpose"? What solutions are you proposing to help people with mental health issues that are untenable?
Unreal and Unity both target iOS and Android and are not "java" or "web frameworks"
Housing is only part of it.

Most people on the streets aren't capable of maintaining a house, mostly thanks to drug use, with mental illness as a smaller-but-still-significant secondary cause.

Fixing this would also put a bunch of activists out of a job, would remove a lot of cover for state-sponsored domestic terror activities, and would require harsh measures that are total non-starters.

Ergo, nothing is going to change on this front until either powerful interests want it to change, or until there is some sort of mass event that kills off a substantial fraction of the population.
Rosetta does do AOT recompilation when it can.
The difference with kids is that you have a way higher chance of them being able to change their behavior, and you can also do things like go after their parents, so you don't have to jail them. But again, juvenile detention centers are thing, with kids as young as 10 years old being able to be put in there, and plenty do.

>Fighting and violence is very normal

Yes, I understand this. People make irrational choices all the time.There are very little things that prevent someone from drinking and getting behind the wheel of a car or a truck. And yet, the support for mandatory breathalyzer devices standard in vehicles to be able to operate them is never going to be high. So people are making the irrational choice to risk getting killed by a drunk driver rather than lose some fake "freedom". And people like the commenters here also make the irrational choice to view fighting in a way less serious light then it should be.

In this case, though the problem is solved - a person who should not be in society is not, and it should remain that way.
I'm a little surprised this is compatible with habeas corpus, which (IIUC) is one of those rights that the Brits have beheaded kings over in the past.

Books have been written about SQL Injection. But in the end, SQL Injection just means that you get a different AST than what was intended.

I wonder how this works for Europeans abroad.
More to the point, as an Australian can I trick these tech companies into thinking I’m a European because my government won’t protect me.
I haven't really noticed any difference in traffic levels. It dipped a bit during COVID for obvious reasons and now it's back to how it was for the most part.

https://roadtraffic.dft.gov.uk/regions/6 has a good chart - 20 billion vehicle miles to 19 billion. Interestingly from the chart, local traffic stayed about the same whilst main roads seem to have lost a little.

The ULEZ zone is now basically all of the city, it doesn't quite go to the M25 (motorway ring road) but anywhere that a tourist would even remotely think of as being London is well inside it.
Can you be more specific with the claim "They don't want to end homelessness"? Who is "They"? Are there examples to support this claim?

Probably because of the feeling that you only have so much energy for each bucket. Watching TV isn’t taking energy from the dev bucket, but working on a fun but personal project does take energy from the dev bucket.

Of course, this isn’t how it actually seems to work - there is some truth to it for most people, but if you “overdraw” from one bucket and “neglect” another bucket, they will change sizes.
I'm not so sure about that... but as a starting point.

* National problem scope needs National solution
* Mental Health Institutions (need to be audited, but need to return)
* Non-secular drug rehab and prevention
* Jobs programs for those without
* Workforce training for those that want it
* Society integration programs, to help people 'get in'
* Treating the unhoused as humans, with human rights

There's a LOT of reasons, some of them interacting. Some of the unhoused are anarchists who'd prefer to be untracked so they can commit crimes; I've seen that on the local news way too often. However those are extreme cases that got regional news coverage. Many have drug addiction, traumatic life experiences, or other issues. They need help and evaluation and hopefully recovery. Some are just professional panhandlers conning people into giving handouts; which also make everyone who needs real help look bad.

Maybe those people could get help if some major movie or TV drama setup kidnapping anyone on the street for crimes and followed what happened to them in a setting that wasn't the suck IRL is.
> politicians made the conscious decision to not retroactively undo it because of the bad PR it'd cause if some violent offender was released and killed someone.

So it's ok if a violent offender jailed after 2012 gets released and kills someone. Typical politican logic.

"Doctor says" is definition of hearsay

Hearsay, no. A doctor has a professional certification, and is specifically certified to make pronouncements of exactly this sort.

That doesn't make them unsusceptible to biases, pressure or corruption. But their testimony definitely does not fall into the category of "hearsay".

If anything it should be taken as sufficient grounds to initiate a proper judicial investigation.

More than sufficient grounds - an imperative, in fact.
It's not "fine", but it's an absolutely predictable result of road and sidewalk design and just morally finger-wagging isn't going to stop it from happening again.
That feels like a large escalation from where we're currently at though. That would put a dagger through a majority of self-hosters.
London is exceptionally economically polarised because of our housing policy. About 40% of people in inner London live in some form of subsidised social housing. This creates a "hollow middle" in the income distribution - people who are priced out of London because they can't afford market rents, but earn too much to qualify for social housing. You can't really be too poor to live in London, but you can be too average.

https://www.ons.gov.uk/census/maps/choropleth/housing/tenure...
Hahahaha, that won’t solve it either. That just incentivizes categorizing people as homeless so the industry can create substandard housing at inflated prices (to the taxpayer) and lock them into it (while charging the taxpayer to administer it forever). See the racket that is ‘affordable housing’ in the same areas.

The thing to realize here is that these groups would rather have a large, unsolvable problem they can constantly try to ‘fix’ at great expense, than actually resolve a real problem.

> guarantee you can release those resources with out error or exception all the time

releasing resources (optimally) and resource exhaustion / ageing (crash recovery) are orthogonal.

I commented on GP's use of exit() not on finalizers / destructors.

> If an external service requires a client experiencing an error to manually release resources...

You perhaps missed what I wrote: It isn't optimal, if a failing client never signals release (think: distributed lock).
