What's happening? I hate click bait titles like these.

Another click bait title produced by a human. Most of your premises could be easily be countered. Every comment is essentially an example.

go further. humanity can't police itself.

The same is true for stock picking.

The gig economy model can be better, but I don't think it's helpful to blame individual companies. It's an entire system at play. Some people are totally happy with earning over a few hours a week. It's not a one size fits all system, so the model needs to be more flexible.

Agreed. Fad is a bit too much. However, maybe 5 or 10 more years. I think more and more people are moving away each year. It seems like it's my (older generation) that uses it.

Just randomly thinking out loud: Is it possible to stop privately owned markets without the state having more control? I suppose the concern is with large private corporations, as opposed to smaller to medium sized businesses. I think that's what a lot of Democrats want to do, but I often associate them with bigger government. I know very little about politics though.

> You can be tough on China without becoming China.

Honest question. Do you know how this could be done? I'm not too familiar with foreign affairs.

Nice. Makes sense! Thank you!

I can see it being helpful for random domains one might forget. For large websites, like reddit, searching within that site is usually pretty accurate (for me).

I think you're right. However, personally, I can - 95% of the time - remember a few words from the page that allows me to search it on Google. 95% is conservative figure. I honestly don't remember the last time I couldn't find something. Might have been a year ago. Furthermore, it's usually much more accurate to simply search your own browse history. Granted, one might need to delete the history or that can get large, but I usually only need to search for something within a year of the last retrieval.

Thanks for sharing. Random thoughts/questions: How do you compare this with using Google Chrome's ecosystem with bookmarks? Or any other browser with bookmarks stored in the cloud? Is there any plugin that can allow search results in a browser's address bar to show the bookmarks from pinboard.in?

there is plenty out there. google "feynman technique"

Yep. Feynman technique.

...which Google leverages to their advantage.

Reading doesn't necessarily mean more thinking than it does with other mediums. Lots of text lacks substance and depth and is used as entertainment. Much of the previous generations were reading quick bites from news and magazines.

Agreed. And the same with the radio generation. Honestly, wouldn't be surprised if most people didn't read in USA and elsewhere through most of human history.

After a few years in tmux, I actually moved back to just iterm2 (I'm always on osx). There are many new Iterm2 features over the last few years that make tmux unecessary IMO.

- Iterm2 can now restore sessions, even partially after a reboot (attempts to recreate workspaces). This was the main benefit of tmux for me.

- Iterm2 can also have a visual mode to browse your scrollback buffer, and there are some shortcuts similar to vim. This was the second main benefit of tmux for me.

- It's less keybindings to remember and configure.

- Iterm2 can better size your split panes. You can also change text size per pane. Useful for wide text.

- A bunch of other things that iterm2 does better when tmux is not open. Autocomplete. Paste history. Instant replay. Some of these are quite gimmicky TBH, but could be useful for some.

- Text, colors, etc... appear sharper without tmux. I think. There are antialiasing configs you can mess around with in Iterm2 at least.

- Shell integration. Jump to your last shell prompts in scrollback. Highlight all your prompts in all your panes. Then move to those panes with your mouse without clicking. Amazing.

thanks for speaking up about this. 31 y/o asian male here. i have worked in the tech industry and seen plenty of skewed hiring practices in the popular tech companies. people are starting to speak out.

it will affect him in job applications too ;)

> UC may choose to advance goals like diversity and equal opportunity using a broad range of admissions that are not based on an individual’s race or gender. For example, holistic review in admissions considers income level, first-generation status, neighborhood circumstances, disadvantages overcome, low-performing secondary school attended, and the impact of an applicant’s background on academic achievement.

these things are highly correlated with race, however.

> Maybe going to your second choice school is an ok tradeoff for trying to raise and entire segment of society from relative poverty and discrimination.

this is inaccurate in many ways

I think Asians pay a high price in terms of handicaps in legislation in the modern day to account for those historical injustices perpetrated onto other minorities by the historic majority.

Yeah, I was actually thinking when the coronavirus started that ridesharing and carsharing would be unaffected as much. Public transportation seems to have 1000x the amount of people touching the same surfaces (e.g. turnstiles, doors, handlebars, etc...)

Just wait till self sanitizing + self driving cars come out.

Still kind of confused with the jargon (what then does commoditizing demand versus supply mean?)

But to be honest, what I think this all boils down to is that GM created a service that was not high in demand. IMO car sharing just isn't that high in demand as ride sharing.

What exactly does he mean by "aggregating demand" and "aggregating supply?

I don't think any conclusion can be made here based on energy expended.

True. I think that's the way the world is moving towards. I also see the 5000+ custom alarm clock apps out there as essentially forks of "deployed apps" for just alarms. But that was already predated by the explosion of websites doing the same XYZ thing (calorie trackers, photo storing apps, etc...) specifically before the mobile era. I think we're just seeing the same with the open source world as we've seen occur in more mature worlds.

Good analogy
