I have no experience or interest in buying gold, but there was something about the name that signaled intelligence and craftsmanship, and I was not disappointed.

Very clean design. Nicely done. I'd suggest cleaning up the table a little bit (remove the 1oz repetitive information, for example).

That's all I got for now, but I can see how this is one or two tweaks away from being a hit with the gold community.

Do you know where the gold community hangs out online? Perhaps some subreddits? I'd post this there, if you haven't already.

there's nothing wrong with dynamic pricing, but there is a lot wrong with price discrimination, bait and switch, hidden fees, and outright fraud. (and we know that uber has historically engaged in many highly dishonest practices)

here's my favorite rideshare gouge, I'm sure others have had the same experience.

"currenly 20 minute wait, upgrade to uber+$ for 3 minute availability?"

YES!

"OK booked, your ride at the higher rate is on the way, currently 20 minutes away!"

now, it is possible that "offer" message was shown to a bunch of people at the same time and somebody snagged it in front of me leaving only the other car 20 mins away, i.e. the computer was "honest", but I shouldn't be paying the higher rate. clever programmer types can come up with other scenarios, the point is, we need guarantees that the market making is honest, or we need regulation.

What was the hardware and firmware you were flashing?
I think all the people that have moral qualms have already refused to build such things. It doesn’t matter, because there’s a whole line of people in it only for the money that can take their place.

> It definitely never does anything behind-the-scenes or behind-your-back.

Actually that's a bit of a lie, because of the economy of primary device context reference counts (it's quite annoying if you need to do it well and not leak resources) and the context stack. So, let's say it does as little as possible behind the scenes... :-(

Here is another perspective: In the 2000s, many of us were children and teens. Now we’re not, and definitely don’t want our own kids to be exposed to the same Internet as we were back then…

People romanticize that time way more than it deserves.

I’m not a fan of censorship, but there’s a case to be made for reasonable adults deciding the ground rules. Case in point: Twitter.
You can't really evoke revealed preference here; there's a lot of incentive for platform builders to lean away from general-purpose use and towards appliance-ification, and there's no real option on the market for consumers to flock to if they want a capable general-purpose pocket computer.
>I think what they really wanted was a good and cogent narration with the tenor of a person. Not a machine making noises that sound like english. If they had an easy way to get that, we wouldn't be talking about it here.

I think the general assumption is that they wanted to, at the very least, strongly imply his endorsement of the product or video.

Which I would say they did effectively. If I had happened on a clip of one of these videos outside the context of this controversy, I could have easily gotten the impression he was working with the vendor.
The masses of small businesses yearn to put their local cable monopoly on the critical path of their revenue? This is your belief?
I've worked in the field and it could just be that the developers in charge of the new site didn't know/care how to get the data from the old system.
And yet, I have Facebook posts that will be 20 years old next year. The attitude that “I’m distrusting of social media, therefore this major adoption blocker is fine as it exists” is why only techies have managed to adopt Mastodon, and is why that will be the limits of its adoption.
> Specifically, if we had widespread “codetermination”, which gives board seats to union members, the people that build things would have a say in what they’re being asked to build.

We don't have legal or cultural barriers to leaving to work somewhere else if you don't like what your current employer chooses to spend their money on (and modern telecommuting counters issues from living in a one-employer town). Without those barriers needing to be compensated for, this sounds like just trying to seize control of other people's stuff.
Valve appear to be testing ARM64 and Android support for Steam on Linux
I mean it's unfalsifiable because the marching forward of time makes asking a system to tell you a price is totally black boxed. But it would be nice to see a _bit_ more effort placed.

> A proper experiment would involve dozens of phones under different scenarios making searches in a random order, then trying to correlate the variables with the prices. But for whatever reason, nobody ever does those experiments.

Because of how much Uber spent doing counter-intelligence against every locality in the planet, I feel like even that might not be good enough. I could see them "knowing" what's going on!
We’re and enterprise making things for enterprises. You better believe the SSO part is well tested xD
I agree that “in two years” is probably not going to happen. But in four or six? I think that’s a more decent chance. Musk/SpaceX tend to give overly optimistic timelines - but they get there eventually.

But I think your claim that there will be a big mess if they try to catch is dubious. My understanding is that SuperHeavy returns on a trajectory to crash into the Gulf of Mexico, and only diverts to the launch site at the last possible moment if its computers conclude it is safe to do so. By the time of the catch, it will (intentionally) be almost out of fuel, so that will limit the scale of any explosion in the worst case scenario. And now they’ve got the new launch tower, so even if they damage the current one, they should be able to use the new one while they repair the current one - I doubt any explosion will be big enough to cause serious damage to both launch towers.
I _think_ they're trying to say that since we don't have transparent prices, and we have a free market, free markets must not depend on transparent prices. It's not obvious though because it seems that there's disagreement about whether or not we have free pricing (as seen by other subthreads here), so it wasn't clear to me at first if the parent comment here was arguing that we have transparent prices and therefore are communistic or that we don't and therefore aren't.
Does anyone know what it might be? When I was a child I would go fishing in this one spot. And somehow come across or split one of the stones. And inside was a worm like imprint, and I later split a few stones and found more. This was close to Toronto.

"electric mopeds pretending to be bikes" is a very apt description, and they make me pretty mad as well. I have to keep reminding myself that, egregious as they are, it's one less person in a car and one step closer to a critical mass of "bike culture", where biking is normalized. Biking will look very different once we reach that critical mass, but we'll all be better off overall.

This is probably the strongest response in this thread and I agree. It's implausible that Uber would directly implement something like "if customer has credits, charge them 10% more" or "if battery < 5%, increase price by 50%". But non-personalized pricing that's profitable yet exploitative of customers in a way that Uber can plausibly deny or allows for collusion without direct agreements? Completely realistic and even likely imo.

I'd love to see ProPublic or other investigative journalists do some research here. Especially on the driver side, because they seem to have even less leverage than average riders.
>I also agree government use of technology for mass surveillance is incompatible with our idea of democratic/open societies.

well, corporate use of technology for mass surveillance is equally incompatible with the idea of a democratic society, which is why the EU imposes limits on what LInkedIn can do with your data, and thank God for it.

Free exchange of information is being able to access a textbook at the library, not a corporate behemoth vacuuming people's personal information so they can sell them to the highest bidder to put you under surveillance the next time you attempt to switch a job or send you more ads. Betterment of humanity? Blink twice if a LinkedIn PR person is holding you at gunpoint
That's true. But despite being the same legal entity, there is very little in common between 70s Apple and the Apple of today. We shouldn't really expect consistent behavior.
You can't expect most people to run their own instance, there needs to be a more user-friendly way to migrate accounts.
I could also imagine that there is lot of gaslighting involved to feel good about themselves when making these features. For example, they will talk about in terms of prioritizing Ubers for customers because they need it more urgently hence the the premium. So, (1) you can comfortably talk about developing these features with each other (2) even though you know its BS you don't care because you know its gonna lead to good perf review (increased revenue by X%) => bonus.

Kind of how Apple justifies crazy App Store policies/pricing for keeping "customers safe".
How exactly do you imagine displaying those things at the same time on a mobile screen? While I agree it would be exceptional, I also think we shouldn’t expect the impossible.
ooh sounds very exploitable!

Would be interested in a deep dive.

But two people in the same store at the same time will always see the same price for the can of coke.
>What evidence do you suggest supports this for 50k years?

there is no evidence that they were near to each other for 50K years, only that their genomes diverged 50k years ago which was the last time they were near each other.

At the separate-times-and-places that they died in "France", the recent migrants may only have arrived in the last few months, having spent the previous 50K years over in that other far away place, and died only somewhat near each other a decade apart

the mixed genome of early modern humans and the lack of mixing of Neanderthals is a separate piece of evidence, and it may point to Neanderthals not being as sexy-social, but that's just a "may".
Learning to create a web app is a fine endeavor, however, if you already have something that works and you want to sell it to other students why not focus on that? For example, what if you sold it on itch.io to other students? That way you have a sense for whether or not people are willing to buy it before you decide to rewrite your app into a web app.
Surprisingly large discussion for a Wired article!
I think this is actually one of the very first times I have seen neumorphic design in the wild.

Prior to this I’ve mostly only seen it on dribbble.

I actually like this style a lot, and I wish more apps would use it. But at this point I thought that this style was one that “came and went” before it saw any significant actual use in any apps or OSes. Maybe there is still hope after all :)

Edit: oh and I had to try asking your tool for sentiment about neumorphic design after this of course. It returned my own comment lol :p and it called it “neutral”. Is it only evaluating the first paragraph that the word appears in in the comment? (Also I guess other people more commonly refer to it as “neumorphism” than as “neumorphic design” and maybe that’s why when I asked it for neumorphic design it returned my own comment.)
Thats all well and good, but you said nothing of substance about the link. The fact you dislike his political stances tells us nothing.
> if they show the same price, it doesn’t prove that there are never situations where the pricing algorithm is predatory. It’s hard to prove a negative.

That makes no sense, that's not what unfalsifiable means. By your logic even conservation of momentum is unfalsifiable, since you can't prove it holds in every situation. In fact I'm struggling to think of a single scientific theory that would be falsifiable by your definition.
If there is a single pothole unfilled anywhere in all of England, the Home Office has better things to do than asserting Disney's intellectual property rights for them on passport applications.
> choosing to not maximize profits

There is a phrase "penny wise and pound foolish". That phrase is a good description of what's being alleged here. Trying to grab a few percent in ways that are likely to bring the hammer down when discovered is not exactly a great idea.
There are many people who believe vigorously in dynamic pricing and it providing the "best service", and don't need to be paid to believe so.

The difficulty arises because the counter-argument of "surge pricing can kick in way faster than new cars show up on the road" is, in its details, subtle. And "this is just grabbing money for no increased service" goes against many people's idea that people should be able to charge arbitrary amounts for services if they feel like it. "People shouldn't be bidding against each other like this for transportation" is yet another can of worms.

This is a space where there are so many sticking points that many people will disagree with. A place where you can really understand gaps between people's axioms, depending on what part you focus on. And it's a place where Uber sits comfortably in the conclusion of the simple arguments, and the opposition to its tactics lies in the conclusion of very long, nuanced, contextful arguments (that still, at one point, require acknowledging that it's not good for society as a whole for a service provider to have unlimited pricing power, which is a big ask!).
to go even further, most people don't live in a village. Population of NYC is 8.3 million, population of Wyoming is 581k.
% of DNA mix do not accurately describe the changes

For example, an African person can have 0.1% European genes and still may look fully blonde with blue eyes and European facial features.

What matters is what that 0.1% is bringing. If those genes are largely not affecting anything at 20% well then why we should care if it's 0.1% or 20%
I don't think it's necessarily the case that dynamic pricing shouldn't exist at all (eg, cooperative load shedding on the electrical grid).

However I should, as someone who just left a concert, have a notion as to how much it's in my best interests to either rideshare with my friend and deal with two stops, or walk up the street to a restaurant and kill an hour or two while we wait for the chaos to dissipate. If the price difference is going to pay for a drink or an appetizer, then maybe I voluntarily timeshift.

And we don't seem to be near that bar at the moment.
Not a dev, but someone who went through a relatively shitty process implemented by a SaaS company at my first job.

The general idea was enshitification once new subscribers dried up. We auto renewed everyone that we could into a drastically different, and more expensive, pay structure then forced them to call if they wanted cancel.

I knew it was scummy at the time (circa 2012), and now wish I had at least SAID something. As a fresh college grad still, I needed the job and stability.

In an ideal world, we would empower workers to stand up for what is right, but every step of the system is designed to take that away from us. Having a moral choice is a luxury in today's workforce.
Corporations do not have a legal requirement to maximize profits.
Every new initiative at Mozilla eventually gets shutdown. Seriously, they are worse than Google.

"A hundred people every year in the United States reportedly choke to death on these pen lids." :|
iPhones are definitely not nearly ubiquitous.
In the end it looks like the OP wanted to say "low carbon" and said "renewable", because everyone nowadays says "renewable" when they mean "low carbon". Would you be ok if he said "low carbon" in the first place?
IMO, totally banning dynamic pricing is too far. Wouldn't it solve this problem just as effectively if dynamic pricing were still allowed, but the algorithm had to be fully open?
> Maybe that meme doesn’t mean what I thought it did.

It doesn't. The general implication of that meme is not that someone actually wants to seriously consider alternative views; the implication is "I want to assert my position, which I think is unassailable, using the veneer of an argument".
I have to love that someone enthusiastically announced there was going to be a fix.

Like, nobody, including the original issue author is actually enthusiastic about the fix. It’s just one less papercut.

I’m sure if these things were actually seen by devs they’d add a two line change to a random PR and it would be done in a few minutes.

If you have something to say, say it.
My comment was about the usage of the term unfalsifiable, which means something specific that was being misunderstood.

I don't know whether they are charging more when users have credits in there account. It seems plausible I guess.

Here are some plausible reasons why it may not be the case:

- If Uber's analysis determined that the best price to charge to maximize profit is independent of whether or not the user has credits

- Because predatory practices would generate bad press and push users to competitors, which would reduce profits
Looks like the great grift can't continue for that much longer. The trillion dollar question is: how will the pressure release?
Not to mention search itself being fundamentally broken in Mastodon - there is no way to search all servers at once, you will always only see what the instance you're searching on has ingested into its cache. There's no trending topics or if there is, it's outdated and/or unmoderated.

On top of that... instance mods powertripping is another issue. I don't care on which side of that godforsaken war in Israel/Palestine two different instance moderators are. But I do care when one of these morons drags in their user base into this bitch fight and decides to defederate from the instance ran by the other dude and suddenly I can't interact with a follower any more, I don't even get a warning "hey, you can't see posts from XYZ any more because their instance defederated from ours".

While I'd love to see Mastodon succeed at least in survival, it suffers from a bunch of very fundamental design and concept issues.
The Nokia 3210 had a screen lock although that was designed to stop accidental button presses.
I hope you are correct, but I'm skeptical. May I ask what demographic? Among the youth, nearly 90% or more have iPhones, seemingly regardless of socioeconomics situations.
>likely to bring the hammer down when discovered

People would forget a week later and continue to use the app. I think that saying is a bit naive to the post antitrust capitalist world
It usually seems like that’s a feature, rather than a bug. Sadly.
Yeah that's fair. Man, I hope that changes though. I would buy the hell out of a general purpose pocket computer.
I've recently come across a spectacular number of regressions on my M3 Max MacBook Pro, Sequoia as well as previous versions included.

The most workflow breaking one (which really tempts me to throw the computer out of the closest window I can find in the room) is a Safari bug that basically randomly fails to open any website with a

> Safari can't open the page. The error is: "The operation couldn't be completed. No space left on device" (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:28).

Which is embarrassing, as this is a clear regression and it breaks all functionality in the browser - restarting it doesn't fix it, and I need to restart the whole machine for it to _maybe_ get fixed (and it's not really a space issue, both RAM and disk I'm nowhere near their limits).
Why the distinction? I mean they can be called into the army, have army training, and are basically just not actively fighting at that moment. They are also already assigned to units, already have their equipment in storage, etc. Just like the Hezbollah members that got targeted in civilian areas.

Also your last sentence is pretty ironic considering who didn't follow the usual rules here. I guess it's other people's fault if Israel plants explosives in thousands of devices and triggers them with absolutely no way of knowing if they were aboard an airplane or in a hospital.
Right, thank you that. I didn't get what was being said there.

Of course in a large economy where most price discovery is transparent in the sense that they are not individualized and can't change in real-time based on arbitrary and hidden rulesets, then a few exceptions won't topple the whole thing. Some amount of fraud can also be tolerated. But too much and things start to break down.
And those are two of the worst flying cities in the US. MCO, piles of families that have never flown before doing a once-in-a-lifetime trip. LAS, drunks who don’t know how to keep a lid on it.

I don’t have an issue with SW. The seat thing never bugged me too badly.

But no first class. And if I can’t afford business/first, I can’t afford the trip these days. I would rather stay home.
> So the later versions might be substantially different than your MVP. Building a very robust first version might be entirely useless if you have to throw away most of it after discovering it doesn't actually solve the user's needs.

IME, the core foundation of the product should be built such that no more than ≈20% or so of the MVP is ejectable in this manner. Not that it can’t, but more importantly: that it doesn’t have to. An MVP should be so basic that the majority of it would be foundational to anything being built, and so would remain in part or in whole no matter what redirection is taken.

This is not always possible, but for most ideas there is a core element that you can start with, even if usefulness won’t really be there without a lot more functionality.

> you often don't know yet what you actually need, you only find that out when your software is in front of real users.

Which is why an MVP should only ever be the absolute minimum viable product - so that as soon as it ends up in front of users, you can lurk in whatever user forum you stand up and advertise for the product (subreddit, etc.) and listen to what the users are saying. Some of them may inadvertently drop ideas that can make or break your product, and it’ll be things you never thought of. Being able to pivot on a dime is why an MVP is so vital to begin with.
I will never understand how a bunch of technically-inclined people can look at an obvious bug and think it was put in intentionally.
