Well, by taking into account all of the potential value judgments, then utilizing the ones most relevant to your decision, acknowledging the short-comings of your decision and making good on them.

Acknowledge - 100 values that Tree A brings. 85 values that Tree B brings.
Judge - 12 values from Tree A are relevant to our decision. 8 values from Tree B are relevant to our decision.
Cons - 3 values are really important that we should rectify for Tree A. 5 values for Tree B.
Make Good - 1 value of Tree A cannot be replicated. All values of Tree B can be replicated.
Conclusion - Cut down Tree B. Benefit from it. Make good on 5 values that are important.

I literally made up this decision-making on the spot, but if I put more than 30 seconds into it, I think I can refine it and make it applicable to a lot of spots. Yes, they would require qualitative thinking and are more complicated than a simple monetary equation, but it considers all of the externalities of our decisions beyond financial gain/loss and that was my initial point.
>Why taxes? Rich idiots buying just for resale would not be impeded in any way.

Resale value would plummet if properties were taxed more, especially if extra onerous taxes were put on foreign investors. This would discourage rich dirty-money investors using central London property as an offshore savings account.

>to allow "holiday flats"

I really don't see why Russians who spend two weeks in London a year need to occupy a huge apartment in South Ken. That space could be used for Londoners who are being pushed into zone 5.
Once you reach a certain size, it might make sense to have an office just because some people like working in offices. Not everyone wants to work from home.

Regarding SDL, I don't want to tie it to a specific OS or graphics library. It acts as a back-end renderer and it will work on any host environment capable of providing a 32-bit video surface where to draw. In fact the internal windowing system of Tilengine (which is optional and can entirely be bypassed) already uses libSDL for display and user input.

I feel like most of the hatred of Uber is manufactured, and that the people who whip themselves into a frenzy over it are allowing themselves to be manipulated.
I wonder what you are expecting to make out by asking these (specific) questions. They seem too little to let you make anything out of it. I would be really interested in your thought process behind these questions.
Total bummer. We have engineers in both Serbia and Romania.

Your examples are not expected to work unless you specifically ask the compiler for it.

If you use the volatile key word, then you are guaranteed that all reads and stores will actually happen and not be optimized out. But volatile still allows non-atomicity and reordering so you probably want something which prohibits that too.
This just shows that there is not much margin in this industry. They are essentially buying market share. However, as soon as Uber try to squeeze out some profit, they'll be undercut by the competitors.
I'm not sure of the legality of that. Afterall it's free speech --but, for the sake of argument, the nominal value could prove not so much a deterrent as much as a restorative mechanism for the public servant (police, dmv, social services, etc.)

Respectfully, since when was capitalism sweet? Here is a J.P. Morgan quote: If you owe the bank $10,000 you have a problem. If you owe the bank $10-million dollars the bank has a problem.

In California this Greece situation is weird to some of us since it is barely bigger than L.A. County and its GDP is about 2/3s less. (I compared the GDP and population of each place via Wikipedia)

Every dollar California pays to the federal government we only get back $0.78! That is what richer states are suppose to do here, carry the weak. If we don't, we lose territory and human resources. If Germany and France want to run the show, they are going to have to pay.

Example, California ends up paying for poorer states suck as Mississippi, West Virginia, Alabama, South Carolina, and New Mexico. New Mexico is so poor that it receives $2.02 cents for every dollar it sends out to the Federal Gov.

>The correct statement is this: you can make an observation of a system which is not in an eigenstate of the measurement operator you are using.

I should have distinguished better, but what you're more rigorously calling an eigenstate of a measurement operator, I'm calling an observable state. There is something lost in translation to an audience unfamiliar with terms like eigenstate, but that was my attempt. Would you suggest a better one?

>Note that this is only true on a collapse interpretation, like Copenhagen. On a no-collapse interpretation, like MWI, the "observation" is just an interaction that entangles the state of the measuring device with the state of the system being measured

The greater point being addressed is that MWI is no more deterministic than Copenhagen.

>Yes, it is; but it isn't observable by a simple method like looking to see if the coin is heads or tails. But according to QM, every state is an eigenstate of some operator

Some hermitian operator? But more to the point, if looking at the coin is the only operator at our disposal in the simple example, then its eigenstates are the ones we care about.
We need a police force for the police force. They can't arrest citizens, only police officers, and they are completely independent of the primary power structure. They answer only to a permanent rotating grand jury. If a cop is accused of abusing their authority, it's not their precint captain or internal affairs that they will answer to. They'll be arrested themselves and brought before brought before the grand jury with plenty of ACLU advisors on hand.
There are people who hate Uber for a variety of reasons.

The way Uber treats its employees? Pretty evil.

The way Uber competes against existing taxi services? Not evil at all in my opinion.
While lazy evaluation is desirable, I do think our present legal system evaluates things too lazily. I'd gladly trade some of the current lazy evaluation for greater up-front certainty of outcome.

Relying extensively on the courts to lazily evaluate ambiguous laws biases outcomes toward those who have capital. Since I do not belong to the capital class, I would prefer less ambiguous laws.
I don't agree with a single thing you've asserted.
Because nuclear waste is a recent problem, and chemical waste is an old problem. Same reason we have driver's licenses; same reason we have the TSA.

Most choices don't get made on the basis of "what would be a better idea?".
In NZ the advantage is convenience and cost - you can get a ride far faster, payment is automatic, and the rates are lower, especially for shorter trips, than the incumbent taxi companies.

Some of the local competitors have some of that (e.g. Zoomy), but they charge extra fees for paying though the app which makes them expensive, and also means you need to go through more of a process when the ride is finished.
I don't like how uber flaunts the law in so many places, but their competitive advantage doesn't come from non-compliance.

The service is plainly better. The cars are better, the drivers are rated, payment is easier, hailing is easier, knowing where your cab is and how long it will be and how much is will cost before you start your ride ... is better.

I live in the Twin Cities ... not a place where cabs are dense enough to just hail one walking down the street (unless it's in a prime drinking/sporting hour & location).

Uber, Lyft, and the city of Minneapolis worked together to make uber-like services legal while giving concessions to the local traditional taxi drivers without compromising appropriate regulations. Everyone behaved reasonably which is sadly extremely rare everywhere else.

The running theory is that unreasonable people either leave Minnesota or are found only after the snow thaws (please don't take this too seriously :) )
Uber is a net positive I believe. Irrespective of what others think of their practices the product is substantially superior to any alternatives I have pwrrsonally used.

When I went to Delhi, I had to haggle with the tuk tuk driver. In some cities in China, there seemed to be the impression that some taxies were not trustworthy and some people only ride from particular taxi companies. Uber was not in China or India when I last visited, but they do solve the trust problem and I would take them when I visit again.

Sorta interesting article, but I wish it gave more details on the outcomes.

Obviously, as a society we should demand that police officers uphold extremely high standards of conduct, given their power and position, and this certainly includes being called a fucking stupid asshole pig (or whatever) without responding violently/illegally.

It's not a crime to insult a cop, and if pepper spray and handcuffs are used in absence of a crime, there should be negative consequences for the police officer and his department.

From my limited understanding, what's interesting about the dark matter approach is that if you pick the distribution of dark matter to fit the rotational velocity profiles of galaxies that also just happens to be the distribution that has a good fit to various other unrelated data sets (cosmic microwave background fluctuations, say).

Now maybe there's a deep underlying reason we don't know about that makes those unrelated data sets in fact related to each other. Or maybe it just happens that the dark matter actually exists. But the point is that the dark matter theories we have were absolutely falsifiable, as the article points out. They made predictions that were then tested and so far the predictions have been correct.
Interconnected stands of Aspen are actually common in areas where Aspen trees grow. Pando is just a particularly old and huge one. In the autumn, you can sometimes tell where two separate stands share a mountainside, because the clones tend to turn yellow all at once, and you can see that one side of the mountain is still somewhat green while the other has turned yellow. I lived in an Aspen forest in Park City that was like that.
Put the person into the police car, connect to a video conference with a review board, review the footage of the police officer's FPV cam, and let the person go if no crime was committed.

People might laugh at the idea above but we're operating with a policing structure that developed a long time before video recording and conferencing technology became available or cheap enough to be embedded with every officer. We have an abundance of people versed in criminal and civil law. Could you not automatically form a quorum of staff versed in legal matters from across the city/state/country to quickly give the thumbs up to an arrest over video conference? Sort of like a Mechanical Turk for legal matters? They could operate from a call center or home.

Imagine the benefits of this to regional areas where local/district courts have fewer resources than their city-based brethren.

That's gross margin.
In China the taxi oligopolies are very strong and the taxis are notorious for poor service. In Beijing, they come with their doors locked and roll the windows down to ask you where you want to go, to see if they feel like going in that direction.
Yup - in fact there's an old bug that jQuery (in versions < 2, I believe) accounts for where IE would return elements with a name equal to the id you're searching for as the underlying system there was all wonky.

e.g:

<input name="test">
<div id="test">

document.getElementById('test'); // <input> in IE6

I believe this also wound up in some Webkit and Opera releases, perhaps for emulation. Someone more knowledgeable about it all should feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.

Releasing a Commercial ASCII Roguelike, a Post-Mortem
Sprint/Embarq/CenturyTel/CenturyLink have an interesting policy on not showing up to work. Many years ago when I did work for them in technical support I was told two things. "Most people here do not make it past a year. The rest break at two years." After that, "We do not terminate people for missing work. If you do not show up for two days or answer your phone for two days we will assume you have turned in your two weeks notice effectively two weeks prior."

They understood people cracked and just would disappear never coming back to work. There were days of spending three hours on a phone with someone that clearly did not understand where the start menu was despite having been explained it many times over those three hours.

Verbal abuse does hurt and it gets to people after a while. Being in a position at the end of that requires a very tough resolute personality. I thought I was the best at being strong, but in the end I cracked refusing to get out of bed for several days.
Microsoft has a new mission statement
Primarily two things:

1. Time/Convenience: India does not have a system like America where you can hail cabs, they are only booked via an agency. These bookings need to be made some hours in advance. A pre-Uber thing (which I'm sure is still common in non-metropolotian parts of india) was to book an appropriately sized cab a day before we have a flight or train to catch. With Uber, request an Uber XL and you're done.

2. Price: As expected, these agencies work out to be pretty expensive. Uber is almost 50% cheaper.

I personally use Uber when I'm with people or have luggage with me. Otherwise India does have a very good metro train and also has autorickshaws (aka tuk tuk) but the former is not point to point and the latter seats 3 people at best (and an Uber sometimes works out to be cheaper than a autorickshaw)

I think that currently only a small part of India uses Uber significantly, but those who do have nothing but praise (anecdotal). Uber has better quality and better drivers for a better price. That said, the market seems large enough to warrant competitors like Ola and Meru.
Competitors lowering their pricing is not going to magically cause an exodus of customers who are attached to using Uber. Price change would be gradual, if done correctly, imperceptible. Plus, those competitors are being squeezed right now, who knows if they will be around once Uber decides to raise pricing to move towards profit. As they say on Wall Street, the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. No doubt this saying is apt for this present circumstance, especially since Wall Street is involved.

Uber is in the service industry, and winning in the service is not always on price.
This is a often understated advantage which Uber brings - the ability to land anywhere in the world and, modulo internet connection, get a safe ride within minutes where you know you won't be overcharged or longhauled.
There's the issue where they are pushing the drivers into indentured servitude http://valleywag.gawker.com/uber-and-its-shady-partners-are-...

And just because the cab regulations overshot in many places it does not mean no regulations is the answer. Also, while civil disobedience is laudable the same can't be said from a company. Problem is, what if next time a company finds another set of regulations / laws it doesn't like? This sort of behavior should be killed with fire because it weakens the very rule of law. I know this is not a popular opinion but the French arresting the leaders of Uber in France are going the right direction and more of the same is (badly) needed.

Ask HN: My co-founders are trying to get rid of me. What should I do?
Hello HN. Me and 3 of my co-founders applied to an incubator (which I don't name) and we got in. The incubator took 6% and the rest of the equity was supposed to be divided among the 4 founders. I would receive 30% based on the time and money I put in.
I absolutely trusted my co-founders and didn't check the incorporation papers but it seems that the incubator (+ the mentors in that incubators) and my co-founders didn't want me as a founder and didn't allocate me any equity.

I have tried talking to them about this and they said we'll give you the equity after the incubator program is over which is nonsense. Since I'm not officially a shareholder, do I have any leverages to take my 30%?
(In 3 months the product is going to be complete and since I'm the main engineer on the team, I think they only want me for that 3 months and are not going to give me my equity after 3 months)

what do you think I should do? My options are:

1. keep working and hope I'll get the 30% after 3 months which is unlikely

2. quit the company and work on the project alone. (I can directly contact some of the contacts we have and ask for money, then I can hire other people to help me out)

3. confront them and demand the 30%

UPDATE

Thank you all for all the help. I have been compensated for the past 2 months (everyone has been) but not the previous 8 months. We had a verbal agreement, but they have already failed to compensate me with the 30% of equity.

My co-founders are actually not very smart and rational, and I'm sure they haven't thought this through. They're on average 10 years older than me (they're all in their 30s and I'm 22) so I'm just a kid in their eyes that they can get rid off once they have the product.

the team consists of one software engineer, two electrical engineers (hardware guys but we're a software company and they mostly do business stuff) and a business guy.

> Convince me otherwise.

This statement presupposes free will.

Free will is not primarily a political concept but an epistemological concept that has political implications.

Free will is an irreducible primary that many people today want to ignore, deny, evade to shirk the responsibility of judgement.

Free will is validated by introspection and no one can convince you of its axiomatic nature except your self, i.e. your own will, which makes it paradoxically circular or self-referential but nevertheless it is at the base of ALL knowledge.

Symbolics was still selling Macsyma at a time when competitors like LMI or TI were no longer in the Lisp business.

It shows that they're fighting very hard to become the monopoly player because they know that the lock in from the network effects of the taxi market are worth way more than $500 million.
All that matters is that s changes for each call. It really doesn't matter what the value is or how it changes. In this case incrementing afterwards would be "s+++e%300" which looks gross and using any parenthesis for clarity would take up more space.
