Uber places requirements on car make and mode year. You can’t get a 10 year old beater and drive for Uber.

Companies aren't required to employ people. More people want to work for Google than Google current needs to hire. The inability of drivers to calculate depreciation prevents them from being able to assess whether or not the contract t

I think that there should be regulation requiring a minimum level of compensation that includes the drivers time and vehicle depreciation as a result of mileage. Drivers generally lack the sophistication to do financial modelling for deprec

From my experience the algorithms & implementations seem to be pretty good but the caveat is that you the developer need to be aware of all the different approaches and when it is appropriate to apply them. There just doesn't seem

From what I can tell (without having read the research papers) it looks like this is just an easy to use package for sparse scene text extraction. It seems to do okay if the scene has sparse text but it falls down for dense text detection.

As a life long Mac user my next machine is going to be a windows box. It's not so much hatred for Apple that's driving me. It just seems that Microsoft has a huge financial incentive now to play nicely with Linux due to their clou

Yeah I definitely had to open some issues to understand how it works. I have multiple virtual servers as well and wasn’t able to get it to break out links by virtual server. I figured it’s fine for my needs since I literally have nothing on

It feels to me like the balkanization of streaming services was inevitable and Netflix getting into the content game was just a logical response to remain relevant. If the catalog is what garners subscribers then a streaming service without

Graphs are used to model dependencies of software libraries. If your build system can detect circular dependencies it's using a cycle detection algorithm of some kind.

Facebook was able to leverage their popularity with college students into a larger platform that had mass appeal with all age groups. I don't see why TikTok can't add features and get the same results.

In the rare occasions I take an Uber I always ask about the economics of it. From my anecdata it seems like most have never done any modeling of depreciation or maintenance cost forecasting, even extremely basic like miles until major servi

Everyone always says team without elaborating on what that means. It seems to me it’s generally a shorthand for how many of your founders/employees went to Harvard, Stanford, Yale, etc. You can’t say pedigree these days because that do
