In the cities (Denver, Austin, Portland, Las Vegas...) I've been spending time in recently I've felt like the opposite. Lyft seems to have more drivers and Lyft is almost always cheaper. I've been told by drivers that they try to drive for Lyft as much as possible as they get a bigger cut of the fare, but I have no idea if that's true.

Paying a bill is sometimes stressful.

Paying a bill should never be so stressful that it causes a person to override their innate self-preservation and start thinking about suicide.

The problem is a real world problem. The reaction to it is in someone's head.

Sometimes people get overwhelmed by the feelings created by negative life events, and mindfulness style meditation is one way for people to calm those thoughts and emotions and allow them to work out more reasonable solutions.

This is important because sometimes cognitive behaviour therapy is sold as "fix your broken thinking". Imagine someone has a history of abuse - they often say that their thinking is a reasonable result of the abuse.
They are asking for access to the work phone. The likelihood is high that there is not much of use on the phone.

Facebook absolutely hammers client-side system resources. Opening a few Facebook tabs, especially in Chrome, will bring a new fancy computer to its knees, and closing Facebook (either the website or the mobile app) famously substantially extends laptop/phone battery life. Facebook’s site architecture demonstrates staggering lack of respect for their users, even without considering the privacy implications.

Not really surprising, from what I’ve heard from friends about their cowboy-style internal engineering culture, and spaghetti piled on spaghetti internal code organization, where shipping new features ASAP is privileged above all other goals.

When you have endless money to throw engineers and servers at a problem, it’s possible to kinda sorta paper over a lot of horrible broken design. Not sure whether that implies anything one way or another about whether or not they “know what they are doing”.

It sort of depends on your definition of “know”. After all, their motto is “move fast and break things.”
I know it's a light-hearted post, but can we not?
Mandated backdoors are something that law enforcement wants, but something that the national-security complex probably doesn't want (they seem to feel they can get what they want without help, and don't want to make US personnel/corps easier targets for their overseas counterparts). And the national-security complex is likely to win that fight.
Your first paragraph is like saying using email is forcing somebody to use one of a "limited set of companies". It's nonsense. Again, if they don't like what's on offer they can host their own, just like email!. They can hire a company like yours to host their credentials with as many layers of security as they want. The user has ultimate choice.

Secondly, every website on the Internet is potentially an OAuth provider.

Not to mention that I have —on multiple occasions here— suggested that websites that consume OAuth should also provide it (like Stack Exchange).

Maybe Zenefits lacked imagination? You can automate sending things via fax machine. OCR exists. You can use web scraping tech (well that's kinda what got them in trouble with ADP right?)

I'm not a wine drinker, but when I listen to people drinking, I noticed some frequently occurring patterns, for example:

> normally, I drink only […] wine but I somehow like this one, too.

> The label says this one is very […], but I actually find it rather […]

> I like [bottle A].
> I like [bottle B].
> I like [bottle C].

Personally, when I hear things like this and read articles like [1] I can't help but take wine tasting for complete BS. Then again, I don't get anything out of that, except that I won't have a nice time with friends sipping alcohol and babbling random stuff.

Completely agree. There is something massively satisfying about surrounding your colony with ploughed fields and roads into the mountains, maximising the resource gain. And finally recruiting a proper blacksmith to make tools, as opposed to the Firebrand Preacher I've had temping for him for ages.

>I'm actually a little surprised that the FBI would go so public with the request? Anyone have any insights here?

The simplest explanation is that the FBI wants a legal precedent more than they want the information on the phone. If they get precedent they can request a "hack" into a phone whenever they feel the need, legally. The worry in this case is the troubling precedent it would set.

https://lawfareblog.com/not-slippery-slope-jump-cliff

Quotation from, Not a Slippery Slope, but a Jump off the Cliff By Nicholas Weaver.

The request to Apple is accurately paraphrased as "Create malcode designed to subvert security protections, with additional forensic protections, customized for a particular target's phone, cryptographically sign that malcode so the target's phone accepts it as legitimate, and run that customized version through the update mechanism". (I speak of malcode in the technical sense of "code designed to subvert a security protection or compromise the device", not in intent.)

The same logic behind what the FBI seeks could just as easily apply to a mandate forcing Microsoft, Google, Apple, and others to push malicious code to a device through automatic updates when the device isn't yet in law enforcement's hand. So the precedent the FBI seeks doesn't represent just "create and install malcode for this device in Law Enforcement possession" but rather "create and install malcode for this device".

Let us assume that the FBI wins in court and gains this precedent. This does indeed solve the "going dark" problem as now the FBI can go to Apple, Cisco, Microsoft, or Google with a warrant and say "push out an update to this target". Once the target's device starts running the FBI's update then encryption no longer matters, even the much stronger security present in the latest Apple devices. So as long as the FBI identifies the target's devices before arrest there is no problem with any encryption. But at what cost?

I have to thank you; I had seen the Pods concept, but didn't look deeply, since it sounded like they only managed the application itself, while I also need to manage data (primarily client databases) within the pods.

But now I see that Pods support some really interesting data volume management systems that could support moving it around if we need to migrate Pods between hosts.

I also had an unfortunate zenefits experience. They had difficulty giving clear answers about a critical detail of dependent coverage, and I felt uncomfortable enough with their answer that I didn't trust them and spent hours on the phone with Anthem to verify.

That said, a previous startup that did not use zenefits fucked up DOBs for both me and my partner, causing her to be unable to fill scrips for a while. So they're not the only ones with issues.
Thank you very much for your sharing!

There's no one answer to that, because "how" is dependent on the individual and their relation to their thoughts (i.e. my thoughts are probably organized very differently from yours).

Furthermore, it is hard to claim that one would be able to "alter their thoughts" as directly as your sentence suggests, but meditation at least allows the recognition of separation between the "worry" in the mind and the "problem" in reality.

For some people, this recognition leads to a sense of control over that worry, which might be one example of your "how".

Thank Obama. That's one of the biggest benefits of the Obamacare exchange: when you look at a gold/silver/bronze plan, there's a legally enforced minimum level of benefits so you don't have to read a 20 page plan wondering what the gotcha is. You can still get bit by narrow vs wide networks, but it's an order of magnitude easier to comparison shop.
I don't think "downplaying it's [sic] willingness to cooperate" is at all a fair summary.

They run iButt which is an entirely different matter as far as complying with subpoenas goes, especially when the subject of the subpoena is dead and the subject of an investigation.

What are they going to do? Tell the FBI and a judge that they're refusing to grant them access to unencrypted photos taken by the dead subject of a mass shooting investigation? There's no way they can do that.

It's quite another thing to be forced to develop exploits for hardware that's someone else's property just because you're the manufacturer of that hardware.

Just to put in to words what I expect many are thinking:

Javascript is a spec, thus the rise (and fall) of transpiled languages is more a testament inevitable and increasing utility of Javascript (you know, the result of a passionate tryst between Brendan Eich and Netscape, in which Sun looked on in the corner slowly smoking a ciggarette...).

ahem

I guess I can see the eventual end of Javascript-only everywhere. If a browser/device will run my coffeescript/dart as navtive, then suh-weet.

Anyway. I found it interesting how we interpret things differently. For instance, to my mind the rise of Java on Github was more enterprise cautiously leaving the their old-country (SVN) and following the hot-shit™ languages into cloud based git. Rather than a new flowering of the language.

Gratz to the Java team for adding some functional stuff. But is it just me or does this article have a HINT of: "Welp, we just killed Javascript - what will Java dominate next?"

Remember the Tea Party?

As insane as they were, they at least grasped the idea that while the excutive president of the US was a nice figurehead to shoot for, the real power was on local, county and state level figures.

Then they turned around and made their dream come true in Kansas which is now a horrible place to live.

But they did it - the found their path to make it happen.

If Sanders people want that kind of accomplishment, they need to look at all the levels way before the executive which has no power today other than supreme court appointees.

I'm just happy it's not true for Computer Science and programming. Whatever you want to say about a social side of programming, there's no denying it that outsiders and beginners are warmly welcomed in the community. We create and provide for free tutorials and guides for beginners, we design languages to be as easy for people to understand as possible (we don't exactly know what makes languages easy to understand, but we at least try!), we create tools for visualisation and summarizing code, and so on.

Similar activities seem to be unpopular with mathematicians. I can't help but feel mathematicians are just a bunch of elitist pricks, who know they are on their way out and who try to build artificial barriers for entry into their field to make themselves needed for a bit longer. It's actually natural, most people will fight to retain their status (and jobs). It reminds me of "refucktoring", writing convoluted, unreadable code just to make sure nobody, else than you, can work with it. Such programmers are shunned in our community, yet they are heroes in mathematics. Oh well, as an "outsider" it's not my problem.

But seriously, it's the people I would bet fall into that category that usually resulted in the worse cab rides. They even anecdotally generally result in the worse Uber rides, only the communication is less of an issue because I can just put in an address and everything after that is entertaining gestures and failed attempts at communication, but I still get where I'm going.

I love the idea of this, and I have been spending a lot of time recently with docker compose and jet. The problem I keep coming up against is the lack of documentation for jet. It uses a similar-but-different approach to docker compose. Docker compose has tons of stuff available, but is focussed strongly on describing a complete live system rather than setting up for CI. Unfortunately, so far I have been completely unable to find any detailed documentation for jet other than a few examples which don't do quite what I need, so fussing with jet's yml files takes much longer and is very frustrating.

I know the product is quite new, and I'm willing to cut it a bit of slack. I'm also willing to contribute to a beta program or write documentation, blog posts etc. to help others if there's any way I could get access to more detailed information (source code with an NDA if that's all you have)
