50000 is definitely much too high. The number I have in my head is 15000. Maybe you confused the two.
Electric cycles also make this easier for those with health issues, hills, slighlty further distances.

But for many people, they need a jack of all trades that can carry passengers, cargo, protect from the elements etc.

I would recommend cycling if and when you can, it's good for your body and mind as well as the planet.

The whole point of Uber is the smooth cashless transaction. Put a button on the app maybe but cash, it's retrograde.
I gave reasons and even a book reference. It really is a good read and worth while.
Even worse. Drivers rate passengers. If you don't tip well they could rate you lower which would discourage other drivers from accepting your ride request.
If you're not feeling welcome, aim at smaller communities. Do you like a programming language? Search for "Python User Group Seattle" or similar. Often they organize talks and snacks and people hang out afterward.

And the same thing applies online. You might find the Linux kernel mailing list fairly bristly, but what about the mailing list for the database query library that you use? Those smaller ponds are much more likely to appreciate a well written bug report or pull request. Is there something you don't like about one of the tools you use? Fix it. Or try to fix it and then ask for help.

And if you get burnt, move on. It's like dating, you can't guarantee that it's going to work out every time. If it goes bad it doesn't need to be a reflection on you or even on the community. It just means keep looking.
They are solving a lot of the infrastructure problems that come with microservices. They also do that with a stack that has much less JVM in it than Twitter and Netflix, which makes working there much more appealing for some people.
The specs sound very similar to what the BCM8500 can do. Add an analog frontend and an antenna, and that's basically it.

It also kind of depends on the crime. I would have less of an issue with these sorts of devices being used in, say, a kidnapping investigation, than I would if they were used to catch street-level drug dealers.
What "it" can one vote for ?
You might think the technology sucked, but all the competition sucked worse, much worse. Nobody else could be bothered maintaining so much backward compatibility. Apple kept changing their CPU architecture and resetting the clock on developing apps. Other platforms like Amiga also pursued their own platform blind to the fact that their products couldn't interoperate with the most popular and cheap software and hardware. There was OS/2 Warp which for some reason failed in the market. Probably more of the same incompatibility problems.

It's hard to see that the world would have been better without MS. It could very well have been more fractured with people having to buy two computers because they would never know which one would run the software or hardware they might want to use. Or it could have been like the disaster we have today with native mobile development - you have to program everything twice, for two different platforms! What a waste of developer time.

The gist of what you say about MS now applies to Apple today. It keeps a similar grip over iPhones, and people love them for it. It's that grip that makes Apple successful, just as Microsoft's grip over PCs made them successful. The smartphone world would surely be worse off today without Apple too.

Have you tried working remotely ? I have faced a similar situation from 2006 to 2014: small city (even if the biggest in the country) in a small country (Benin) in West Africa, and I had been working remotely. I didn't participate in a community, but I least I had good wages (by US and Western Europe standards, which is a fortune here).

Price per share is irrelevant. Going from 2 to $4 is that same 50 to 100. Typically however, companies like to keep their stock price higher as it seems more attractive and a low share price seems less valuable than I.e. $100/share. Market cap is completely separate, all depending on number of outstanding shares.
The acceleration is no worse than other small cars.

Here's my guess: some of Google's / Alphabet's nefarious practices include collecting information on users' previous pages. Fixing this bug the correct way (disabling window.opener by default when cross-origin) would put a dent on their cut, so they're using their leading browser to try and influence how the rest of the world tackles this issue: putting the burden on developers means 99.99% of websites will remain open to this bug and to their data collection.

Time to find Firefox's equivalent issue page and convince them not to follow the leader.

>Tipping is an awful and awkward practice that shouldn't ever be encouraged.

It seems like there's an easy free-market solution to this.

Since Uber was on the losing side of eliminating tips from a policy standpoint, just let customers en masse accomplish the same goal: Simply add another field to the screen explicitly showing if the driver expects tips or not.

Some example screenshots from Uber showing a driver profile to modify:

http://therivardreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/uber_s...

http://cdn.moneycrashers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/uber...

* Add a column stating "Tips: Yes/No"
* Add a filter option of "Tips=No" for customers to eliminate drivers who want gratuity
* Rank/bias the list of available drivers such that "Tips=No" are shown first

This concept would be similar to filtering ebay sellers that offer free shipping (aka built into the final selling price) or expect extra shipping charges. Another point of seller differentiation is allowing "returns/refunds" or "all sales final." Instead of ebay dictating a rigid policy, the ebay bidders can use filters to avoid sellers with undesirable attributes.

The Uber drivers would learn very quickly whether "expecting tips" is a smart business strategy to maximize income.

For curiosity's sake, I went to Lyft to see their policy on tipping: https://help.lyft.com/hc/en-us/articles/213583978-How-to-Tip...

Since Lyft seems to encourage tipping, I'm guessing this is one of the reasons why many consider their platform more "driver friendly." It would be interesting to see what % of passengers tip Lyft drivers. That might be predictive of how Uber passengers would choose the "tipping=No" drivers.

The trouble is probably a social one, not legal. Every engineer there is comparing themselves to a guy with a year of experience and thinking that they shouldn't be paid less. All at once.

Either AirBnB ends up making 230k the minimum salary for everyone or people will take this guy's advice and start negotiating, getting counter offer from other places and possibly just leave. Management ended up paying a lot more than 230k for this guy so they are probably not happy.
"They" has a logical connotation that it translates to "either he or she" (hence the plural). Something like "ve" seems to imply "neither he nor she" , as if, "something else". That's why it may alienate ppl.

The issue is that tipping culture in the US means that if tipping is accepted, the vast majority of customers will see it as necessary, leading drivers to see it as a usual part of the transaction, leading to customers who don't want to tip being seen as in the wrong. It would probably work better in nearly every other country.

On the other hand, putting on my "caring about people" hat, if Uber can't/won't pay a living wage for a day's worth of work, and keeps cutting its prices which have a direct impact on people's income, bring on the tipping.

It incentivizes them to do a great job and please the customer.
"The company said it has no plans to add an option to tip through its app or to lower the cost of fares under the assumption people will always leave tips voluntarily."

Uber just settled that cash tips are OK, but they obviously want this to die quickly if they have no plans to integrate tipping into the application and hence the experience like Lyft. If having a "great experience" is core to Uber, I'm sure that the confusion and behavior change now that drivers can ask for tips will negatively affect people's experiences, result in lower ratings, and Uber can flag such drivers (maybe customers) as having a rating below a certain threshold and drop them (?). But keeping driver supply seems important...
That guy really has a done a rewrite and then got it back to the point where it is used. That is what I felt when reading the article. Many people just rewrite and then complain that their rewrite never gets used. So they don't draw the important conclusions and the next time they will try it again. If you really push yourself, your team and the users to using the rewrite and getting it back on track with the original solution, then you have to go through all the disappointments of your rewrite not being better than the original, the real pains you induce in your users, and solve so many problems you've never signed up for solving because you didn't know that the old, ugly solution actually solved these as well.

The pain of reading, understanding and fixing/improving the old, ugly solftware is never that painful. And the value is much more immediate since your users already use and know the old software.
Last time this came up I remember reading somewhere that dazzle camo isn't so much meant to conceal the vessel, as to make it harder to tell the course it is running - through a submarine's periscope. That was said to be critical for torpedo attack. I felt that makes the whole idea much more plausible.
Might not be good enough. In this case, if there's even a slight chance for that agreement to leak out with the list of signatories, those companies that signed have a lot to lose. Such an agreement would need to be verbal. Kickstarter doesn't have this problem.

So that's what's happening! With uBlock, all I see is a flicker on the browser's tab bar, and my history is gone. It's still annoyingly retarded.
German highway speeds aren't as high as some think, especially not on a continuous stretch. Average speed on not-speed-limited sections I'd peg at around 160km/h, 100mph. When I lived in LA I rarely saw people coast at less than 75-80mph. And the distances in CA are huge!
One of the major reasons Chinese taxi drivers prefer Didi to Uber is that they can get tips. So I think that's a huge move in the right direction. Finding a driver on a Friday evening is free market jungle at its finest. This way at least you have options.
> this array stops being a functor

Okay, "the type of this array stops belonging to the typeclass of functors". Better? Peace? :-)

I totally agree with your rant and I'm personally less than half way there myself, but this particular comment was within the context of the original article. I do understand the difference between the type and the value (instance). It's not even very hard for C++ programmers.
> Tipping is an awful and awkward practice that shouldn't ever be encouraged.

There's an interesting Freakonomics Episode titled “The No-Tipping Point.” which talks about the same.

BGP is based on mutual trust and mistakes like this are unavoidable.

All they did was announcing a better route for those prefixes and other routers obliged. I'm sure swamping their own network with unwanted traffic was punishment enough.
That's different. The US gov isn't doing all that to their own citizens. So it's ok. At least that's how the US gov and a lot of US citizens feel. And the rest of US citizens don't care enough to do anything about it.
I have absolutely no faith in any government that gives the impression that they will add tighter controls or a reduction on the collection of personal data.

Yes, I know. And I'm trying to subtly point out that it doesn't even work on the web, because it got fucked up by cowboy companies who ignore standards and do whatever they like to get easier $$$.
There are more important practical reasons for slightly higher share prices than appearances. A lot of major brokers (eg Fidelity, Scottrade, TradeKing, TD Ameritrade) won't allow any margin on stock prices below $2 or $3, and often brokers adjust the margin requirements based on price brackets (eg $5 to $3, X% capital requirement; sub $3, no margin allowed). That can cause a margin crunch on investors if the stock falls below $3.
@febeling - quite true, and most effective at that! I believe schemes like these were deployed to some extent also in WWII, however the advent of sonar and, later, radar probably made it less effective.

It would still make life harder for the hunter, though - getting a good bearing/range/speed observation would definitely take longer, leaving the submarine vulnerable to detection for the duration.
As I said, I've already reported as a bug via FB, weeks ago, haven't heard from anybody since then. Is there some other way I should use? As to the root cause, that's what I suspected, and it also tells me that the TOR gateway seems not well covered by tests and thus prone to breaking. And you won't know, as TOR users have no way to report in-band.
That depends on what you mean by "great service". As an Australian living in Japan, I was unfamiliar with tipping until a recent trip to the US. And the thing that surprised me even more than the bizarre idea of me having the power to underpay a worker despite them
doing a perfectly good job (that would be illegal in other countries), would be the idea of "great service". Apparently in the US, great service consists of being nagged constantly to remind you that he server exists and needs a tip. Great sevice in Japan however means leave me the fuck alone and let me enjoy my meal in peace.

This is a great discussion. What is it about the English language that makes it so much easier to oppose someone than express nuances in general opinion?

Really? What are you basing that on?
> It will come from something unexpected that solves a different problem, but in a much simpler and more elegant way, and over time it will be the thin edge of the wedge where it evolves and develops into a web killer.

So.. app stores?

It has already begun. The most popular webapps (Facebook, Twitter etc.) already have native clients in Android and iOS. I believe the majority of people already prefer and use the native FB/Twitter apps more often than accessing the FB/Twitter websites. So it's already obvious that native apps must be more convenient.

Right now however, app stores are a little clumsier to navigate compared to browsers.

For webapps:

• you have to open the browser,

• type in the address OR

• use a web search if you don't know the exact address.

But for apps:

• you have to open the app store,

• search for the app,

• potentially filter through unofficial third-party software,

• download the app, possibly after entering your credentials,

• navigate to the app icon,

• authorize any security permissions on startup (in the case of Android or badly-designed iOS apps.)

We just need the Big Three (Apple/Google/Microsoft) to actively acknowledge that app stores can supplant the-web-as-application-platform, and remove some of those hurdles.

Ideally an app store would be akin to searching for a website on Google.com (or duckduckgo.com) with a maximum of one extra click or tap between you and the app.

Apps should also be incrementally downloadable so they're immediately available for use just like a website, and Apple already has begun taking steps toward that with App Thinning.

Ultimately there's no reason why the OS and native apps shouldn't behave just like a web browser, because if web browsers keep advancing and evolving they WILL eventually become the OS, and the end result will be the same to what I'm suggesting anyway.

Currently though, both the native OS side and the web side exist in a state of neither-here-nor-there, considering how most people actually use their devices.
> Vista, despite it being a disaster for Microsoft, was only problematic because of changes made to the UX.

The only major regression that comes to mind here is UAC. I don't think Vista is considered a failure because of its UX decisions.

In my experience, Vista was incredibly slow (compared to XP) and unstable, and got even worse the longer you used it. Anecdotally, even PCs that shipped with Vista were often unable to run it smoothly.

I don't think Vista would have been a hit with an unchanged Windows XP user interface.
Common Lisp.

The only tool I use with it, I guess would be emacs. Unless by "tool", you mean libraries.

However, it's Ruby (often generated by Common Lisp) that puts food on the table these days -- and Python that I'm using to plot my (positive) escape from the workforce.

Both Ruby and Python are weaker languages that share some of the Lisp spirit. Ruby in fact, is derived from Emacs Lisp.

One of my side projects is an attempt to jack libraries from Python -- which will, if successful, make Common Lisp more usable as a day-to-day programming language.
I wonder, would it be possible to build a secure P2P client using encrypted Media Extensions and WebRTC? Going to check to see if EME supports encryption as well as decryption...

update No. EME is only intended to be used by content consumers; even if it could be hacked to encrypt uploads / outgoing transfers, that use case wouldn't even be considered important as the spec evolves. Super lame.
This approach encourages tipping which is exactly what the OP isn't in favour of.

IMO all jobs, cab driving included, should be paid well enough that tipping simply isn't necessary. Companies shouldn't encourage tipping (which is often also tax dodging) just because they don't want to pay their employees enough that tipping isn't required to sustain them.

Having said that, while tipping shouldn't be encouraged if somebody does go above and beyond the call of duty for me I'm going to find a way to reward them. That might be a simple "Thank you so much, that was really nice of you" up to and including paying extra if I can afford to do so and feel it's warranted.
