Will this cause riders kicked off to shift to Uber's competitors, say Lyft, thus poisoning those services for drivers?

Are there examples of RefMut::map_split? It seems pretty useful if it does what I think it does.

I've noticed that when a side project becomes a Patreon project, suddenly more time is spent with community involvement; blog posts, live streams, etc. Even $100 a month creates this implicit reporting obligation to keep the community

This reminds me of a section of the book "Why we sleep"[1] that said similar techniques could enhance an older persons sleep quality. (I don't know the title of the study unfortunately.) It looks like this is an exciting area

The NFL player's association negotiates such agreements [1, 2] unilaterally across all teams. Perhaps e-sports athletes should have a union that negotiates likewise. [1] https://www.nflpa.com/active-players/off-sea

This was my experience when I was at Mozilla converting a part of Firefox to Rust. It also feels like a lot of Rust's safety guarantees go out the window when you are using the C FFI to talk between C++ and Rust. I'm not sure how

Privatization isn't the issue. A lot of the abuses you see in private prisons, you see in public prisons. I recommend anyone read "Locked In: The True Causes of Mass Incarceration and How to Achieve Real Reform"[1] by John Pf

My concern with this sort of search is it could evolve to be used in a pretextual manner on small crimes. "We have a reported flasher in this area, lets dump the cell phone record locations to find them. Oh looks, there are people with

Mozilla struggles with diversity of revenue sources. They make 95%+ of their income from their search deal. That's a lot of eggs in one basket.

I think the key here is that there is no due process. No right to face your accuser and see the evidence against you. We have this in the US with terrorists watch lists and no fly lists.

When I interned at Mozilla, most of the FF devs developed on a Mac. They are not ignoring the platform. I suspect the issue is as other said, low incidence, high impact. It seems like they are aware of the issue: https://bugzilla

The addon was abandoned by its author because Mozilla was making major changes to the addon API at the time. Extensions used to have carte blanche to change the browser, which was a security risk, not to mention it made threading/paral

It seems unlikely that FF will ever be completely written in Rust. More likely that new bits that get added are Rust, and many of the old bits stay C++. If FF gets rewritten in Rust, it will be a decades long effort.

Maybe countries should encourage prescription drug tourism. I can get a flight to London for $400. If I save $300 on an EpiPen, suddenly its a real deal. (Maybe you just need to go to Canada though)

I was lost as well. Was the author arguing that the actual encoding of information in the brain is incapable of producing a mind in accordance with our current model of mind? (Seemingly in favor of a more behaviorist model)

My understanding is miners don't keep it at 100% utilization, because that is not energy efficient.

This is perhaps another argument in favor of a land value tax. The value assessment can still be disputed, but at least it is on the unimproved value of the land.

It's amazing how, to doctors, what were once once meaningful life and death scenarios just become more work or less work scenarios over time. They are desensitized.
