With experience, you learn how to be able to spot the latest fads that will likely be waning or gone in a few years once they're no longer shiny things. This can make you very unpopular with those people who take it for granted that shiny things and new things are almost certainly better than non-shiny, non-new things.

Remember when MongoDB, for example, was widely assumed (by the inexperienced, mostly) to be the obvious data storage tech for building virtually any web-facing application? Now, after wide experience with formerly-shiny Mongo, it's viewed as just one among many alternatives for reaching "web scale".
That's funny, as someone who has used both github and gerrit for several years each, I completely disagree. I found the gerrit flow worked well.

At the gerrit-based shop, we kept very good discipline of regular, small checkins. And yes, you can pipeline your checkins too.

I found the gerrit flow also much easier to explain to new engineers. The github PR flow is much more full of sharp edges.
Except it's not that site - https://fuc***.ru/ is where you can purchase these services.
Except higher-density buildings still equally price people out. There's no such thing as new urban apartments/condos that are cheaper than the houses they replaced.

A 500k house never gets torn down to become 3 400k condos. It becomes 3 600-800+k condos.

We should build more, because we need it. But "build more" can't be the only tool to lower prices, because simple observation shows us that it doesn't work.
The Pirate Party is hardly single-issue:

There actually was a pretty neat use-case for live streaming via periscope last year. I'm a pretty big hockey fan (to the point where I follow beat writers of teams I don't consider myself a fan of). Last season there started to be a trend of writers using periscope to live-stream warmups and postgame interviews. It was neat to get that level of access, despite the video quality not being great. About a month after people started doing it, the league stepped in to say that live streams constituted "broadcast without consent" and most people stopped doing it.
> Surely an UI with controls specific to the task at hand is much better than having the user guess what the bot responds to and what it can do?

A well-designed and well-implemented UI is better, yes. But I think where this could be useful is for the many customers who don't have the cash to make a decent app. A stripped down chat interaction could end up more usable than what they'd build from scratch.
>In Safari websites have to ask permission before it can send you notifications. They can't just 'spam' you.

Since people visit tens of new websites everyday, asking permission once is also close to spamming -- it's a non solicited popup for something most don't care and don't want.

>Can you delete my key from the key server?

>No, we cannot remove your key from the key server. When you submit a key to our key server the key is also forwarded to other key servers around the world, and they in turn forward the key to still other servers. Deleting the key from our server would not cause it to be deleted from any of the other servers in the world and so this is not an effective way to ensure the discontinued use of your key.

I discovered the above the hard way when I was testing an Android app called OpenKeyChain, which creates your PGP key and, without telling you, uploads it to several keyservers for "convenience". Since I was testing the thing, I used a private e-mail and my name.

As a result, real name is now inextricably tied to that e-mail address through a keyserver that was ostensibly supposed to provide privacy...

Neither here nor there, but I mention it because the experience somewhat soured me on the idea of non-deletable keys.
Thanks and I agree about that!
I'm not sure this is true.

Many decisions you make today can be changed/fixed-up later. The company I'm at started as a WA LLC before re-incorporating as a Delaware C-corp and taking a $9.2M A-round. Bit of cost and hassle but not the end of the world. We've adjusted the structure of our engineering org several times both as our situation changed and as we learned what worked for us. Again, changeable.

However, if you choose to incorporate in the USA you may end up with a permanent, unfixable disadvantage relative to your international competitors. The political left seems hell-bent on both keeping world-wide taxation and bringing in Hotel California style rules.

This does not apply to just unicorns. Even a mid-size corp with a large international presence is impacted.

You can ignore all this if your goal is to stay both small and domestic. But an organization like Y-combinator which can spread the legal cost/overhead across its cohort? It would be something worth giving serious thought.
I'm the third person to finish all the current Stockfighter levels. (I also coded a MineCraft visualizer, a physical hardware stock trading device with an ESP8622 plus cardboard and duct tape, and helped organize PVP games.) I had fun.

When I first finished, the challenges had just launched and the Stockfighter team was busy putting out fires. I think they switched to recruiting mode about a month later.

Patrick of Starfighter sent me an email with an invitation to have a phone call. We talked about the game, then about a job opportunity. If I had been looking for a job, the discussed company sounded great - a distributed team and interesting problems to solve.

I think they spend a week on recruiting, a week on signing up companies, a week on coding the site, and a week on other stuff before cycling back again. This means that it may be awhile from the time you "win" to the time someone gets in touch with you.

Both the players and the hiring companies are high quality. Last time I checked, less than 1% of the people who completed the first level actually finished the last. It seems to be a pretty strong filter.

Pros: Fun game, good hiring companies, great players. Cons: I would not expect to be hired right away if I was needing a job.

I'm a huge fan of the concept, but unfortunately gpg is such a terrible program that I completely gave up using signed commits from basic testing. The agent that does exist I could not convince of working either at all or with git and entering a long passphrase on every commit is not my thing.

> So according to your research, which comparable large luxury vehicle sells more than the Model S?

That wasn't a claim I made.

I said the table was set up in such a way as to read like Tesla controlled 50% of the large luxury vehicle market. If you include more vehicles, even if they sell worse, then Tesla's proportional market share drops.

But since you brought it up, if you wish to tell us which comparable large luxury vehicle outsells the Model S then I invite you to do so?
C63's default to comfort mode. They don't introduce any lag in comfort modes, they simply select a higher gear than what would be ideal and up-shift at lower RPMs (1,800RPM in a C63).

No offense intended at all, but personally I am unable to see how an employer can take advantage of an employee when employment contracts involve voluntary free-will agreement by both parties.

Now, misrepresenting the situation to an employee as to disadvantage them is something I can easily see as morally wrong (although not necessarily illegal).

Just my 2¢... :)
Asking permission is spamming IMHO.
Apple has a reputation for Just Working.

The Model S has a lower than average reliability rating.

Just because I, individually, might buy a lemon MacBook doesn't make Apple an unreliable brand.

The Cadillac CTS for example has a much better reliability rating than Tesla (from Consumer Reports, which if you actually read the article on downgrading the Model S comes off as a bit fawning).

So should I judge Cadillac on a vehicle known to have way below average reliability? By that standard, sure, a Model S might look pretty good.

It's no Audi or Lexus though.

EDIT:

Also, this is what bothers me about fawning over Tesla. I pay what, a 20% maybe premium for Apple products MSRP? A decently equipped Model S costs 4X the price of a Leaf.

Be willing to spend $120K on a Leaf and I'm sure you'll see bigger motors and double or triple the range. You'll get LTE for free for life. You'll get free DC quick-charging for life (while there are a handful or NRG evGo stations in DFW, there are ZERO superchargers, unless you count the one in Denton 46 miles and right at an hour away from anywhere). You'll get a bigger central display, better ergonomics, much better reliability and more utility (unless you actually plan to load up a 5th adult I suppose).

Tesla isn't doing you some kind of a favor letting you spend over $100K on a vehicle with high depreciation. And there's no way you spent that much on your Escalade.

They're nice cars. Nice for the price? Your Escalade will have lost much less value. We've got a few years yet before battery warranties expire. How big of a hit are you going to take when the market is flooded with off-warranty Model S's selling in the mid 20's to mid 30's range?

When an fitness advantage is removed from an allele, so that possessing it becomes completely neutral, the gene still tends to disappear slowly over time due to mutation and genetic drift.

"Secret Chat" uses Telegram's (flawed) E2E protocol, so the server would only see ciphertext. A "normal" chat is stored in plaintext.

This is also why normal chats work in multi-device environments, but secret chats don't. Unlike iMessage (and I assume Signal - haven't looked at the actual protocol), they don't do anything fancy like making the sender encrypt messages with multiple public keys (one for each device the recipient owns).

Actually, it's the private key that needs to be kept secret... I'm not sure how that's guaranteed or how we can actually verify that the private key is secure. Knowing that whatsapp is built by spying and uploading all your contacts and phone numbers to their servers, well, do you trust them to not upload the private key also?
It's not clear why it would really need to change.

You can get an estimate easily, but the final price for an UberX is a function of distance and time, just like a taxi.

I have had a few occasions where my driver's taken the wrong route. Not intentionally, I don't think, but a wrong turn here or there in a one-way system can really screw it up.

Each time that's happened, I leave a not-5-star rating. Within a few hours, Uber have sent me an email. I reply to that explaining the route, they take a look at the map, and every single time I've received either the difference in cost for a regular trip (if it's one I can show I've taken multiple times), or a full refund.

There are sometimes UberPool deals, where they'll offer a fixed price to go from and to anywhere within a certain region.
I doubt you will be able to, but the NFL, Twitter and everyone outside the US knows we'll be proxing in and watching the ads -- so? Shrug?
There is a very weird behaviour in this image that (to me, at least) speaks a lot about the (low) consistency of this method: if upon the last image a sport-neutral question is asked, then the answer is:

40.52 % tennis
28.45 % soccer

But then "Are they playing soccer?" is asked, and the answer jumps to the following:

93.15 % yes

What would it happen with tennis then? How can this make sense?

My only rationalization would be along the lines of, "Well, it guessed it was a sport at least", but no person would answer these question like that...
kik in particular? Or chat programs in general?

1: International SMS isn't free (US-centric viewpoint, what's the situation in other countries?).

2: No character limit. Which is bypassed with MMS. Which introduces its own limitations when sharing media (reduced resolution/quality of video and images, for example).

3: Potentially, depending on the particular client, not tied to your phone number in a way that others can access (that is, as a fellow user you don't know that my number is 555-555-5555). This can be gotten around by using something like Google Voice, which then loses the MMS feature (have they added that in yet?).

4+: Probably other reasons that I can't think of at the moment.

---------------------------------------

It just occurred to me that by "people" you meant the companies that kik is apparently courting with this. They'd want to use this because their users use kik. It's one more interface for customers to interact with them, on a moderately popular chat network.
And by "Stable" the headline actually means "Canary" at this point. It will be a while before it reaches the stable version, but it's coming. This is good news.

The challenge of syntax discoverability can be mitigated in a text interface with smart autocomplete to guide people towards what they can say. It becomes harder with voice. Also one messaging app, Telegram, allows chatbots to present customized keyboards that change based on the context of the conversation, e.g. thumbs up/down or star rating system.

I used Gerrit for over a year at one company and I have to agree. Every minor change required amending a commit and another review. It really breaks a lot of the git process.

I also had to admin a Gerrit server once and the documentation (at the time at least) for setting up and running a Gerrit server was total shit. It was a painful process to say the least.

Another project, which took many of my old team members, started using Gitlab instead and they loved it. The merge requests made a lot more sense. I'm currently at a new company that uses Gitlab and I have to agree.

Both systems are pretty much suggestive. We could always +1 a code review ourselves if it had to get out that day, but it's best someone else did it and there was a record. Gitlab is a lot more lose. There's no official field for an approval, but you can put in a nice little thumbs up emoji in your comment, and you have the same audit trail.

TL;DR +1 Gitlab (et al.) over Gerrit for sure

Either those people's jobs are needed or not.

If they are needed, they might as well be paid a decent wage.

If they are not, they might as well close down -- living close to subsistence levels with 2-3 part time BS jobs is not any long term solution.

It might be worse for those people short term, if they are fired from those jobs, but at least it would reflect the true issue in the economy/employment, instead of hiding it under the carpet (in that below $xx jobs are not a solution). And then there could be actual corrective measures and policies, instead of feeling complacent while people make pittance.
You never have to allow notifications. AFAICT any site that wants to use notifications needs your consent first.
Yes, but what are the other comparable vehicles you found? Are you considering near-luxury vehicles like Cadillac and Lincoln? Because that's not in the same class as a Model S. The closest competitors were all in that list as far as I'm aware.
A few things on that list which seem useful, but there are a lot more services on that list than actual tools.
