OK, here is a better link suggesting that the 54 cent/mile rate mentioned by the WSJ article isn't just about undercutting Uber but also about avoiding legal problems. http://kxan.com/2014/02/25/ride-sharing-app-gets-green-light...

From the article:

"Heyride, a ride-sharing program, was forced to shut down operations in the city because drivers did not have permits, the Austin Transportation Department said. The city says when drivers can set their own rates and earn a profit, that’s when they’re treated like taxi cabs.

“It’s not friends taking friends, it’s the money being exchanged, the compensation,” said Steve Grassfield, with The Austin Transportation Department.

With Carma Carpool, riders pay 20 cents per mile and drivers earn 17 cents per mile to pay for gas and car maintenance. Federal regulations say drivers who earn anything less than 56 cents per mile are not considered vehicles-for-hire."

Non-webdev here. Why did the Chrome team ever decide that developer access to the raw console though the DOM-like window API was a good idea?

This seems like it was initially granted external access for some reason, especially since blink is meant to be a clean room implementation of webkit.
That might circumvent some of the legal issues Uber has had, a lot of cities have ride-share programs.
Pet peeve of the day.

Tried to right click on the header logo so I can check out their main site in a new tab.

Instead I'm blocked and get prompted to download their brand assets...

Please don't mess with established interactions.
> blink is meant to be a clean room implementation of webkit.

No, blink was a fork of webkit, taking webkit code and clearing out a bunch of stuff that wasn't need for blink. It was not a clean-room reimplementation.
You're being overly complacent. Facebook might find it harder to track people who don't sign up to it, but they still have shadow profiles for tracking non-users. You get tracked by what your friends and contacts share about you as well as what you choose to share. If anyone who put you in their mobile contacts let Facebook's app loose on their phone, then smile, you're already on Facebook.

Privacy is an environmental issue, not a transactional one. With the current system, there's really no opt-out short of opting out of social life altogether.
What the heck. This looks terrible in firefox.
I remember a company I had a contract with sometimes (not always) posted jobs and advertised a pretty high salary. These salaries were actually competitive and not just in line with the competition. You can't imagine how easy it is to find high quality people that way. Go figure...

There's a difference between "they guaranteed it to be that 100.000000% of the time" and "in practice, it actually was that the entire time". The latter can definitely be true.
These are all excellent points and we should definitely be pursuing all available avenues. I don't think this is and either/or proposition - we should look into anything that can help.

Things like genome therapy are unfortunately a long way off so we need to look for antibiotics in the meantime.

Here's a novel thought: Monogamy. Wait to have sex until you're married, then have only one sexual partner your entire life. That'll deal with the problem, and every other sexually transmitted disease out there.

No, what you're encountering is the rift between new-media science bloggery and the real rate of scientific progress. In new-media science land, a university news office press release is akin to a solved problem. Antibotics? Done! Quantum computing? Solved! Room temperature superconductors? No problem!

The press releases are abominations compared to the underlying research, and the new media companies are embellishing even further for clickbait. It's shameful because it's not reality, which means it's a close cousin of lies.

Will progress be made? Yes, but until then global medical systems and agricultural sectors need to use sound antibiotics guidelines to avoid a looming catastrophe. No press release crap is saving patients who have MRSA right now!

I don't believe you. No one I know likes tipping. It's awkward no matter how you slice it. We would all much rather just pay what it costs and not have to tip.

--

Looked it up. You were right. Well, at least in the pay structure. 85% of surveyed people prefer a tipping pay structure to including it in the price of food.

I think it has to do with the perceived idea that tipping leaves the diner in control and leaves the ability to punish a bad waiter. Maybe I'm wrong about that too.

Sugar doesn't "heal wounds" like salt it creates an environment that prevents bacteria from surviving if the concentration is high enough.
Honey, Sugar, Salt all have been used on wounds but this can also go pretty damn wrong easily.

You however do not want to inject sugar or anything like that into the bladder.

P.S.

As a general rule of thumb you should probably avoid using "home remedies" from imadoctor.com sites.
It's usual better PR to write a generic apology with weasel words than say "Ops. System error. Not my fault." Both have almost the same meaning and information, but the latter will bring many embassy complains, boycotts and angry journal articles.

The funny thing is that this would be very easy for Facebook to fix - just a line of text under each friend request explaining the suggestion:

* "You're both friends of Duffman McPartyDude"
* "We found Psycho Ex Boss's phone number in your contacts"
* "Location Services confirms you were both frequenting a dubious drinking establishment at 4am three Saturdays ago"

Would they do it though? Of course not. It would scare the hell out of their users if they knew how this algo actually worked.
You are really overcomplicating this. The gut is about 70% of the immune system. Gut health and old fashioned lifestyle approaches that limit the transmission of germs is simple, easy, inexpensive and has been around for millenia.

It also smacks of religion and "boring, uptight" lives. So, it is nigh impossible to sell the idea.

Perhaps that will get easier as people start dropping like flies from horrifying diseases. But, for now, no one wants to hear it.
I cannot quite fathom the confusion of ideas that results in your comment here.

What does a "right" to know something mean? Apparently you think that kelukelugames has the right to force Penny Kim to make public statements that would put her at the risk of a major lawsuit. Can kelukelugames compel this of everyone who has a bad employer experience? By what mechanism is the right enforced? What are the penalties if kelukelugames right to know is not enforced?

As far as I'm concerned, the only rights involved here are Penny Kim's rights to privacy and freedom of association. She was not obligated to publish this. Doing so was difficult and puts her at risk. It was a gift. I think it's ungracious to look at a gift and say, "YOU OWE ME MORE!"

If you would like people to publish more things like this, especially to the extent of naming names, then I think the best approach is to reduce the risk to whistleblowers. One way to do that is to create a legal defense fund large enough to handle a lawsuit over the naming of names. My guess is that $100k is about the minimum for that.

Does that help explain my comment?

There is no objective yardstick because the ethical conditions are subjective. For instance, in this very thread it is evident that agreement cannot be found upon whether or not cooperating with Government agencies on messaging is an unethical journalistic practice[0].

There are many metrics, but very few of them are objective; that doesn't mean that those which are not objective are not meaningful, but it means that finding agreement is likely impossible.

To be clear: I do not believe that Russia is in the right, in terms of their concealed use of propaganda. That does not mean I must hold my nose and accept that the Americans engage in clandestine propaganda in collusion with private media.

What shocks me is how slowly the taxi companies are responding to the Uber threat. I use Uber when I can and the price has nothing to do with it. It's better cars, better service, and friendlier drivers (usually).

Every time I get in some yellow cab that's a 5 year old Crown Vic with torn seats, rattles everywhere, and a driver that can't (or won't) tell me how much my ride is going to cost, I remember why I normally take Uber.
Yes, this is real. And she could really use the help. It was very brave of her to come forward this way: she took personal risk, and it's not like she's gaining anything from this personally. On the contrary, she's facing threats of legal action, as well as the risk that future employers might avoid her because of association with this dumpster fire.

The author is suggesting yield management to mitigate price arbitrage. Airlines have been doing this for years (maximize butts in seats & profit)., and require entire teams of business analysts to monitor the supply & demand of tickets, and reclassify seats so they stay balanced.

Every flight/hotel-comparison website has its goal to make the yield management team as ineffective as possible. Being too effective means running your suppliers out-of-business!
Not sure I'd want a VPN via a VPS, as you'd lose the anonymity of being just one of a swarm using a particular IP point of presence. Though you'd probably get fewer CF captchas, but all traffic would be you.

I've no idea how clever CF are (tempted to quip clearly not clever enough) to decide their sites or their network is under attack. I'd imagine there's going to be a lot of connections from PIA's users, from all the various regional exits. Same for all the other VPN companies. I can't believe they can't be distinguished from a real DDOS or whatever else they see as "bad traffic".

Where Cloudflare start winding me up is they treat each domain alone. I get a captcha on blog a, 30 seconds later I'll get another at company b, 5s another at blog c. If CF gave me a 3 or 24 hour cookie I'd hate them so much less! (There's a couple of ways around captcha madness - If I switch to another exit I can usually get a captcha free one)

PIA is paid, but good value - around $35 a year.

Not sure what you mean by "out of date"
in 2011 they launched a policy of reducing growth by raising the reserve ratio massively, they are targeting "high single digit growth".

That growth is all mostly coming from the urbanisation policy. from 98% of the population living and working in the paddy fields a few decades ago to their target of 90% living in modern super cities.

They can literally double their output from now simply by spreading technology from the early 1900s, rather than pure manual labor. But they are going straight for "next-generation manufacturing".

"Energy oversupply", "city oversupply"... Those would be those "flawed assumptions" I was talking about.
Its only "oversupply" if you think it impossible they get from the 56% urbanisation rate they are currently at, to somewhere near the 95% urbanisation rate of countries like the USA. Which is the current policy.

And pretty much anything is much much more productive than picking rice from a paddy field by hand, which is the current working day of 46% of the Chinese population - more than 600 million people - or twice the population of the US.

http://www.worldbank.org/en/country/china/publication/urban-...

By 2030, up to 70% of the Chinese population - some one billion - will be living in cities.
>The health industry as a whole, has been weakened by the discovery of antibiotics and designer molecules, and as a result now spends too many resources on looking for killer chemicals (antibiotics and other drugs).

What!? antibiotics are for the most part the most important discovery in medical history, period. They by far saved more lives than virtually any other treatment and make many other treatments possible.
What's appalling to me is that tipping (regardless of QoS) is even still a thing. Tipping was made big during the Great Depression. After the economy rose back up, tipped wages should've been rose back up to match minimum. Effectively abolishing the ridiculous idea of tipping even if your service sucks. Thankfully, a few states have realized how ridiculous the current system is and made it mandatory tipped wages (before tips) are the same as non tipped wages (California being one of them).
I guess I lucked out, as well as a good number of my friends and colleagues.
When the system becomes so corrupt that people who would be hurt by whistleblowers can control legislation, the test of "legality" doesn't hold as much meaning anymore.

That is my question too - how was an internal logging server not set for restricted login only from the internal subnet?

Also - they mentioned the perp got in via a compromised employee login. No clarification if it was a former disgruntled employee, or that a current employee had a weak password, or was social engineered into divulging it.

In any case, it points to bad internal policies and procedures around isolating servers and employee password management.
I don't see a mixed message. They did what they had to do to survive as a company rather than become consultants or get jobs because they were that focused on making the company work.
It's a personal choice. Frankly I am okay with all drugs being legal as well. It's not going to sway my decision not to use them.
I used to use it as a CUPS feature, but as I said: I don't have cups-pdf installed, and indeed, I don't have CUPS installed at all. Perhaps it is being provided by some system library (perhaps libcups), but not by CUPS itself.
It doesn't take away from this, but because of the title: Google Docs started much like this, but eventually they gave up on plain HTML and changed to the current model which still uses the DOM but is "complicated"(tm) HTML.

I can't find the link at the moment, but I think it's interesting because despite it being the simple solution, they eventually realized it was holding back adoption amongst business users.

Uber Black is about 2x the price of a taxi in Oakland, and about 4x the price of Uber X. The mininum fare is $15. The wait times are usually 10-15 minutes vs 2-5 minutes for the trip I regularly take.

There might be a case for that service but the drivers are so rare that it's hard to say.
I probably would. It's not like Taxi companies have a great track record of choosing their drivers.

Most people are decent. If they are giving you a ride in their private car, then consider that they are taking a chance on you as well.
What's worse in when they post a salary range but then go through the whole "what are your salary expectations" thing. Half the time the posted salary was all that interested me but I can't say that because I can't remember what it was listed as.

Well, that's the good thing about PIR — with the protocol I discussed, OWS wouldn't have access to one's list of contacts. They'd still know with whom one spoke (anonymising that is a hard problem), but at least they wouldn't know everyone one knows.
I'm not claiming that there's no real difference; I'm claiming that it doesn't matter who agrees that Russia engages in propaganda. That doesn't change that America does as well.

Is Russia or America worse? I don't care which is worse, that doesn't matter. They both do wrong things.
I see your point - but don't you think that's kind of a hyper real view of what this "starting a startup" is really about?

Whether its making personal sacrifices, cutting all unnecessary costs, selling "on boarding" you would do anyway for free - whatever it takes to keep the company alive (lots of things that don't scale) end up being significant in the early (and middle-year) history of startups.

Maybe its played, but I still think its a pretty great example of just getting it done by whatever means necessary.

People (particularly religious zealots) like to claim that the French and Soviet revolutions were "rational" but they ignore:

1) The villain of the French Revolution, Robespierre, wasn't a rational atheist but in fact founded his own pseudo-Christian religion "The Cult of of the Supreme Being" and actually had actual French atheists executed.

2) Stalin, who was responsible for most of the Soviet deaths actually went to seminary and trained to be a priest.
