I'll try to give the simplest possible explanation that tries to be value-neutral and avoids getting bogged down in an ethics debate: copyright. Movies are intellectual property; political information is generally not.
Definitely YMMV. I've had mostly good experiences with taxis in NYC, but I've had some extremely bad Taxi experiences in San Francisco, Chicago, LA, and D.C. The major difference is that in your situation, you could easily report your driver for failing to meet at the pickup location--If them not agreeing to meet a specific location is a problem their rating will eventually filter them out. With Taxi's there is no accountability for bad drivers so they continue in the Taxi system.
They are required in lots of places, but people don't always follow the law. It's not surprising to hear the old "the machine is broken, need cash" excuse.

Can Quicksand Really Suck You to Your Death?
I disagree. Human time is not a problem. Yes, in a moral world it would be the most important metric. But nowadays, labour is cheap and abunant. That's why we don't have robotic armies doing stuff all around us - it's cheaper to make people work. We're energy-bound as a civilization now (or, one could say, still).

I agree with everything but:

>Uber and Lyft should probably be a bit more regulated

The reason behind the taxi situation now is _because_ it is regulated. Regulation never helps the end-consumers, it helps the big corporations hold out competition.

The previous discussion on this pointed out that all this is is a compiler that turns a Verilog representation of a circuit into a DNA one.
Since most people don't have ways to actually synthesise the DNA that's output, you need to send away to companys that do, who check for sequences that encode toxins etc.
You suck at technical interviews
If someone shot at multiple people, then its a mass shooting.

Not as it's officially defined by the FBI. It requires, in a single incident, 4 people being murdered. You can of course change the numbers by redefining the words of art as the "study" did, but so what?

Did you even read the Mother Jones article? I can't recall exactly what it said, but I myself picked apart some of the "study's" cited incidents, like the infamous one where couple of reporters were killed, one was wounded, and the killer later took his own life. Which obviously doesn't fit the FBI definition. Others were reported to simply not exist, or at least no one could find any verification.

Is there any hoop you won't jump through to justify tens of thousands of deaths?

"We don't care."

Of course. If a university computer science course is unable to teach its students how to program, there is something wrong with the course, not its students.
Not that I post for rep, or for that matter care about downvotes, but if you're expressing that the above comment was not of use, on-topic, opinionated, bad tone, etc. - it's not clear why. Please comment so that I might be able to address your concerns. Cheers!
Just because you're not convinced doesn't mean it isn't happening. Why would somebody, a lot of people, an awful lot, say X is happening if it wasn't? And why default on somebody lying instead of believing them, or at least giving them the benefit of the doubt?

Ask HN: Disk based caching server?
I'm trying to find one or more articles I previously read from HN but haven't had any luck finding them today. They were on the topic of using caching built into filesystems/disks which has been improved for decades instead of trying build an application based caching system on top of that. I believe there were comparisons between some nosql or caching databases with one in particular being the example of the disk caching approach where the server in questions was simply a thin api layer on top of the filesystem. I may have some of the wording or facts mixed up but if this sounds familiar please point me in the right direction. Thanks

This statement may be wrong but for different reasons - it boils down to just how much electricity vs. petroleum we need to use to make fertilizer. I don't know much about fertilizer manufacturing, but from a quick look at Wikipedia I think that for nitrogen ones we could conceivably replace natural gas with some other hydrogen source and run the whole Haber-Bosch stack off electricity.

That water is "lost" by any practical definition. For humans to use it again, it would have to be desalinated, which is expensive.
I haven't tried Lyft yet because my credit card gives me %20 back for taking Uber. Also, average type people don't even know about Lyft. They hear about Uber from all the news coverage, but they don't mention Lyft. Uber is winning the marketing war with Lyft so effectively that it doesn't matter who is better. Now, the only reason I could ever see taking an analog taxi is if my phone was dead.
Nothing about what was wrong about gitflow.

One small correction I would like to make to gitflow is that the default branch for developers should be 'master'. If you want to deploy another branch, use a 'production' branch. This means people don't have to manually change branches everytime they clone, that type of repetitive work should be outsourced to a computer ( your deployment scripts ). If you have full access to the repo and you are on github, atleast you can change the default branch ( which for a repo I contribute to, I don't )

Anyone know the need for a seperate 'develop' branch ?
I can accept that laying rules like 'Don't touch my server' before people start writing over each other's work does not seem abusive.

It makes me wonder: in case the senior dev did not disclose this policy to the junior dev prior to the meeting, what was the senior dev expecting? If no rules were communicated, it falls to the senior dev to lay them out. At the point that a junior dev does not follow a previously undisclosed procedure, why would that make the senior dev angry? The senior dev can note that the server is on his list and ask why did not the junior dev check who is responsible for the server?
What about use as evidence in a court? If police illegally search and seize, you can conceivably get the case thrown out. If a whistleblower dumps the same information to the internet, that's a different story? The answer is yes, but it does create a new path for prosecution doesn't it? (Can't get a warrant? Hack anonymously, dump to internet, and presto. Good luck proving the source of the leak.)

More worryingly, how hard is it to create fake data? People are leery of accusations by prosecutors, far less so of "data". Video and audio evidence can even be faked now.

For instance, a bunch of your emails get dumped (all of which are indeed your real e-mails). But then there's one (fake) message to a random email address nobody knows the identity of, "Yes, I'd like to buy 100 kilos of coke and I need help laundering the money after I sell it." Who is the burden of proof on? You to prove that you didn't write it? Or them to prove that you did?
The issue of taxi drivers lying and saying their machine is broken when it isn't is so rampant they even cover it in the FAQ you linked to!

>What if a driver says the system is not working?
The passenger should note the medallion number and go to 311 Online. Drivers are permitted to work with a broken system for up to 48 hours as long as they have reported the problem and are awaiting repair. Almost all (90%) system repairs must be completed within six hours.

And there isn't much you can do about it except threaten to complain and hope the taxi driver relents and lets you use it.
HTC Vive VR Review
Honestly, if we shouldn't take personal interactions personally, then what exactly should be taken personally?
Don't forget you have to write your arrow direction choices to a database, so that we can prove that over time it was random. And that on August 18th at 10:27, it showed "left" when the person-of-interest (we don't call them suspects anymore) went through the line. This would require a couple of reports be written against the database.
You do not mention that the existence of property is meant to benefit the society as a whole. Copyright provides us with blockbusters. We can discuss about fair use, expiration, fines etc, but let's not pretend that STAR WARS would have happend without copyright law.
And the US double taxes their citizens living abroad the same way.

As an American making the same money as your non-american co-worker you are left with a lot less just for having a US passport.

It is even possible you have never set foot in the US yet are required to pay uncle sam's taxes.

Wanna get rid of your US passport? Not before you pay 10 years projected taxes and pay an abhorrent fee. You will also be listed on a government website so you can be shamed like a sex offender.
No, unfortunately. How is this different to and / or better than having a "wiki/" subfolder, and, e.g. an Org-mode file (need not be org-mode, even a plain text file is o.k., and there are wiki systems and todo managers that use plain text) for issues on the project root? I can easily "git/hg/cvs log project.org" to see the history. And the format is not tied to the VCS software, so, if I switch to sth. else, it's still perfectly usable.

An basic example of an org file for tracking issues:

#+title: Project issue tracker
#+description: descr...
#+todo: OPEN(o!) | CLOSED (c@)

This is the issue tracker for Project. In order to add a
new issue, add it to the top of the entries as a plain org
entry, then hit =C-c C-t o= to mark it as open. In order
to close an issue, on it's headline, hit =C-c C-t C=,
this will prompt for a closing comment, see the buffer that
pops up for instructions.

Anecdotally, during a couple of more intense episodes, a bit of basic cardio (mild jogging in place, a few limp jumping jacks, not trying too hard) helped me reduce perceived ‘bad’ beat frequency, and yeah, felt nice, warmer, etc.
Nuclear fuel waste is much less dangerouns than many other substances created in industrial chemical processes, and occur in much smaller amounts. Managing that is a non-problem compared to other hazardous waste. That people are afraid of radioactive waste and aren't of what their friendly neighbourhood chemical plant produces is pure FUD.

The "who had all the odds against her" part made me feel sick.

I'm seeing nothing about sleeping in a car, or any hint of a struggle aside from academia. Maybe it's just because my childhood was so shitty, but I can't feel empathy here.

You don't need a CS degree to become a well paid programmer, I couldn't even afford to finish college and I do well.

The little secret is you need to do a large amount of independent study,programming side projects, etc to become a decent programmer.
>Regulation never helps the end-consumers

The FDA, FDIC, and other acronyms would like to have a word with you.
The "file name too long" was an issue in npm v2, where each module installed its dependencies inside itself, recursively, leading to enormous node_modules/foo/node_modules/bar/node_modules/baz/node_modules/quux/node_modules/... chains.

npm v3 was an attempt to fix this so it now tries to install all modules and their dependencies in the top level directory, unless there's a version conflict, in which case it falls back to the old behaviour. npm v3 also got slower, because to fix the folder chains it changed how the packages are downloaded and installed.

It sounds like your node_modules were installed by npm v2 – you can try nuking your entire node_modules folder, ensuring you have npm v3, and letting it install your dependencies again. If your guess about grunt's performance problems is correct, this might improve your build experience.
1. One of the critical roles of a fitness instructor is technique. Not being able to correct it is a hazard.

2. There's no clear value for a fitness instructor. Selling phone workouts for $0.99 in the app store is unlikely to be as profitable as 20 regular clients paying $50/week for personal attention.

Ultimately, fitness instructors provide personal services. A few outliers, e.g. Richard Simmons, can brand and sell in bulk as celebrities. But most have to focus on client relations and high touch sales.

Good luck.
The large majority of the water used (2/3) is for 'green water', AKA rainfall. If the rainfall wasn't used by the sugar cane, it would probably have been used by another plant occupying almost exactly the same ecological niche.

Blue water is groundwater (1/4) and you may be able to say the same thing about it. Some blue water comes from underground acquifiers, so pumping may be bad thing if you're pumping faster than it replenishes; others is pulled up by the root system so is completely natural.

8% is grey water, water required to flush fertilizer and other pollutants. That sounds bad, but it too is often part of the natural water cycle.

Most of the problematic water usage is caused by irrigation. Sugar cane & beet can and is produced without irrigation, but doing so requires more land usage and possibly extra fertilizer. In other words, it's a matter of trade-offs.
Webpack does not glob-search against the filesystem like grunt/gulp/brunch/broccoli/make. If you look for that: Sorry, webpack does not "replace" simple tools like that.

Think of it as a tool executing require.extensions at build time. It's not operating on files as much as it's looking directly at the source-code AST.
That makes it more complex to get into over the glob tools but it's worth it.

It's also just as modular as anything else: http://npmsearch.com/?q=loader%20AND%20keywords:webpack
Amid Public Feuds, a Venerated Medical Journal Finds Itself Under Attack
I'll usually just copy an established/popular design for the MVP (this doesn't take any appreciable skills on my part), and if the product gets traction I'll bring in a real designer to rethink everything from scratch.

Also, there are quite a few themes/skins/ui-kits for bootstrap and other front-end frameworks, that are worth taking a look at if you don't have a designer to work with. They won't compare to having a real designer on your team, but they're better than nothing... you can get something passable up and running that isn't embarrassingly ugly.

But, this only applies if you're building products whose primary value proposition (and product market fit) has little to do with the design (think Craigslist).
It needs the context. I've quoted the whole thing below:

> If you add a new member to your team, they would have to fork the repositories on GitHub, clone them locally, make the changes, push to their own fork and then create the pull request. With Gerrit, you could clone the main repository, do your change and then push it directly to the same remote as you cloned it from.

The objection would be that you can always push to a branch and issue a PR from there in GitHub too. Those steps are identical for both tools in a professional setting.

There are reasons for Gerrit but this isn't one.

Unfortunately I can very much understand the original snap. I know I've said things like this and I'm sure a lot of people here have, too, even if they don't remember. I'm willing to assume that the original speaker was in some way overstressed, overworked and had just lost patience at that moment. It's easy to know what the better thing to say is in retrospect but usually people just want to get their message across.

We looked down this path, but ultimately just didn't want to be responsible for SMTP servers.

Now we're with Sparkpost, the rate was actually a touch cheaper (by maybe a few hundred a month on a several thousand dollar bill). There are plenty of features they don't have (or don't have working correctly when we tried):

* Css inlining, we opted for doing this ourselves after trying theirs.

* Account sending limits. With mandrill this was managed based on our usage, with Sparkpost, it needs to be manually adjusted through support (hint: you also need to monitor this, they won't warn you if you near limits).

* Tagging of emails is different, less searchable but generally its better in some ways and worse in others.
