For Uber and UberEats I now manually manage these in Android (which I do for a few other apps I have lower trust for).

Which means I shut off all permissions between uses, and I block all notifications.

I grant Location, only as needed to get a driver or place an order.

Once I'm in the car, I turn airplane mode on, deny all permissions and notifications, and I reboot the phone.

Isn't it crazy that this is where we are now. Invasive tracking has become so normal that I have to manage the access an app has in such a tightly constrained way.

I'm starting to think a 2nd device that I leave turned off 99% of the time would be an easier way to sandbox apps I don't trust.

Why? My understanding is that there would have been a few minutes of warning time, enough to open the silos and complete the launch sequence before impact, or ist that not the case?
Often, not always.

I'm under no illusion that revolutions are bloodless, but I believe that sometimes they are the the only option when system becomes so corrupt and rigged in favour of a small, wealthy, ruling elite.

The French Revolution for example which was grisly as all fuck and the years of instability afterwards can not be understated. Yet I do believe that what eventually came out of it (the French Republic) is far, far better than what came before the people started chopping the heads off the insane, greedy, oppressive aristrocracy.

There are of course counter-examples. The Russian revolution. Though was the revolution itself the problem there, or the people that commandeered it for themselves in the years afterwards (e.g. Stalin)?

I cannot see a way to fix the current system. The populace is so suppressed in ways that are sometimes subtle as fuck. Decades of demagogue politicians playing on fears, dividing the demographics into us-versus-them tribes out for blood, fostering the paranoia and fear of the foreigner, engaging in massive orgies of deregulation of financial services that cause crash after econimic crash, where the average schmuck picks up the bill and those reponsible get to carry on as normal.

Repealing basic services like welfare and healthcare, fostering resentment between age groups, racial groups and classes as a misdirection of attention from the actual cause of our current ills, socially irresponsible banks and financial services that have no tangible value to society other than to move money around.

Intelligence services and police forces focused on inward threats from their own people lest they somehow upset the status quo of funneling up the wealth of nations into the hands of a few oligarchs at the top of the pyramid.

Western democracy is completely fucked. It has been corrupted and made a sick facsimile of what it was intended to be. There is no fixing this system without massive civil unrest, and that impending civil unrest is why (I believe) we are witnessing the insance lurch towards authoritarianism and watering down of basic rights all over Europe and the US, it's those with a lot to lose preparing themselves.

And they are winning. They will continue to fuck us all as long as we keep falling for the whole 'terrorist', 'immigrants', 'paedophile', 'hackers' bullshit as a reason why they must keep taking away our rights and liberties.

We are frogs slowly boiling alive in the cooking pot.
If you're not an AWS user yet then any EC2 instance you create (if you ever decide to become an AWS user) will be in a Virtual Private Cloud, either one you create yourself or the default VPC associated with your account.

I expected CPython to have something like this, especially in 3.x but nothing.

If Ruby can get faster than Python sooner, I'd switch focus to Ruby (and somewhat make Go less of a priority for us).
They looked at the retina, and at its lack of color cones.
My favorite method is centrifugal; hold the bottle by the non-pouring end with the cap firmly tightened and give it a good fast swing with your arm (be careful not to break it on anything). This will move all the ketchup to the neck of the bottle (might require a few reps). Then, unscrew, and holding the bottle where you wish to dispense product, using your palm just above where your palm meets your wrist, tap firmly on the neck of the bottle just below (as the bottle is now facing downward, just slightly towards the open end) the curve onto the neck while shaking the bottle up and down, with an exaggerated downward "stabbing" motion.

Nice try, Travis Kalanick.
Fuck this for a joke. Thank goodness I'm not on any of these services, or even using them!

It's bad enough I use Facebook, but the Instagrams of our time are just ridiculous.
Add a 302 (permanent) redirect to make the most out of the old link. This way, the link will actually help your web app because it'll sort of transfer the weight (search engine wise) to the new link.

I don't know what your setup is, but you can search for "302 redirect [SETUP]". There's a chance you're on Apache, look into `.htaccess`. If you'd rather not tinker with that, your hosting provider will most likely have a graphical user interface to add redirects.

All the best,
Thank you! sorry, wrong version was cached on cloudflare, should be working by now.

First I thought this as a way to let websites their users login easier, but this requires wide-spread of the app as you said.

Then I thought this as a password vault + chrome extension, that every security-aware person can use, regardless if website supports it.

But on mobile websites since you can't have browser extension, the website developers may implement this natively. But that would be version 2.0
The speed differential. Your basically making a list of jumps into machine code and then jumping in a loop. The interpreter takes your input and turns it into a jump list which it pumps into the loop. You can reuse a jump list by defining it as a new word.
No taxis in your area? Maybe a central phone number you can call to hail one? Why Uber and all this trouble?
Posted three new photos today with hashtags from the app he mentioned. 10 new followers, which is probably all I've had in the last 2 months. Interesting!
If only we were able to rate management and they were let go with a 3 or less stars review.
Didn't see that when I posted. Usually HN catches dupes, but I posted this on mobile on the go. My bad.
If the protest was about the lack of such choice, at the time, then this is still compatible with what you're suggesting is common sense.
This sounds like a good idea to automate finding these sorts of arrangements, but a large part of me wonders how using this app will affect someone's sesame credit score.
My thoughts exactly. Also laws in the UK which ban certain pornographic drawings. The latter is more likely to have you blown off as a 'pedohile' rather than defender of civil liberties. Even disgusting speech is speech and few people I know seem to grasp this.
My guess is because Uber is subsidising the ride and providing convenient bill paying options.

> Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), the end products of fermentation of dietary fibers by the anaerobic intestinal microbiota ...

So yes, SCFAs are end products of the process. You are right.

Technically they are breaking down fibre into SCFAs but it didn't say they were made of them.

What's wrong with PyPy?
Life has many disparate potential sources of meaning, and the urge to systematize everything along one dimension represents ideology at work and should be avoided.

Those who go around proclaiming everything to be only about sex or only about money or only about power wish to make it so.

Of course natural selection is true, and we ultimately strive to pass on our genes but the mechanisms we've developed that motivate/enable us to do so are absurdly complex and admit much more than mere power games and peacock strutting.

IPO, new management, all that data to sell.

Bankruptcy, all that loss to recoup

Ethics of today don't mean a thing.
I'm in London, and public transport is good enough for most journeys, and I loathe black cabs far more than I feel anything (except distrust) about Uber.

Uber works wherever I am in London, it's cheap enough (realistic compared to black cabs).

It's good enough, but not good enough that I'm fine with their various invasive activities. One not mentioned elsewhere is how they use both rider and driver mobiles as a kind of distributed cache/database. Which is the thing that started me off on "kill the background process", initially to spare my own data and battery.

This really depends on what the hyperparameter landscape looks like. In general, global optimisation is a very hard problem and doing it by random sampling might take longer than the lifetime of the universe (cf Levinthal's paradox for proteins).

It's really bizarre. Where my parents live, I can be almost line-of-sight to a cell-tower operated by my carrier (literally visible across the valley, two miles away), and I get barely two bars, with calls flaking out constantly. And forget about data.

With those things removed, what would be PHP's differentiating features? As I see it, it really has two things going for it:

1. Ease of quick-and-dirty prototyping

2. Large application code-base (especially Wordpress)

Your proposals would negate both of those selling points. What would be left to make it attractive? There are plenty of other languages that already meet your requirements.
You don't need hindsight. You just need to look at the many many times it has happened before.

5 Steps of Moving Apps to the Cloud
You could make that last case: However, I think a broker is probably the best way to compare different insurance plans when buying from the market instead of through your employer.

For example, take 3 insurance shoppers. One has asthma, the second diabetes, and the third has MS. The three have vastly different needs for care and coverage, and the key to matching up the needs is the broker.

The need for brokers could theoretically be eliminated, but that would take some government software and regulation and whatnot to get done.

Short chain fatty acids can be things like acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid. The fermentation process takes in fiber and puts out these guys, so while fiber isn't an SCFA polymer, I don't think this statement is inaccurate (i.e. I don't have the metabolic pathways off hand but these could be direct breakdown products given the shortness of the carbon chains - acetic acid almost certainly is.)

Whenever I read about deep learning, I immediately think about Microsoft's Tay AI nazi chatbot disaster.

Anyway, as a non-expert I've always thought that inferential statistical methods only work adequately when correct assumptions about the underlying distribution, hence also about the underlying analytical model and/or causal relationships are made, and I wonder how deep learning approaches deal with that issue.

"Uber now discloses it does this"
I believe this is the only rational explanation.

The other, non-trademark-containing software, is distributed under a FOSS license (both the source and the binary derivative), and I don't see how anyone could be legally forced to rebuild the binary.

The copyright situation is clear, the legal leg this is standing on seems to be the trademark situation.

This is Matthew Garrett (mjg59), and he has a hate against the Ubuntu project that goes back several years.

The way he works is that he finds something that he interprets as questionable (his words: "it can be interpreted as meaning"), and then starts screaming because he needs ASAP an official reply.

The climate-change deniers employ this technique and you get ordinary people questioning the scientists.

His employer should comment on this since what CoreOS is doing and what is offered by Ubuntu Core do overlap.

Supporting "binary gendering" on toilets means deliberately troubling one's transsexual, queer etc. colleagues; not only hurting their feelings with a constant reminder that they are misfits, but concretely allowing obnoxious people to attack them because they are guilty of using the "wrong" restroom.

Such an attitude, although less harmful than many more common workplace problems, is so high on the jerk scale that I cannot imagine how it could be considered a political issue. It's as absurd as asserting one's right to drive while drunk.

Good Python 3.x support...
Unfortunately they decided to go with explicit nullables instead of implicit, which means that you still have to go and write/modify all your code explicitly to benefit from this. Which pretty much negates the benefit.

Implicit nullables across the board are extremely useful when designing loose-coupled and natively unit-testable code. They allow you to design code paths with a minimum of fuss (don't worry about a parameter if you're not actually using it right now), they allow you to substitue simple nulls instead of mocks, and can help to deep-map code paths and use cases for specific parameters.

Another issue is the inconsistent manner of dealing with errors generated when attempting to use a parameter as its actual non-null type. They range from notices to fatal errors (non-catchable with try). By contrast, in Java you consistently get a "null pointer exception" when this happens (and Java also has implicit nullables).

"internet has probably had a massively positive effect on music in general."

Yes, I agree with that. There are countless of interesting, unheard bands on the Internet from all over the world, not some clones of most popular bands, like it was usual in earlier days. Even Youtube offers some gems on random playlists from time to time.

"I am fond of Conscious Rot, Regredior and Ghostorm and even have a few old demos from those bands."

Wow, I'm surprised you know these bands, they are not widely known by younger "metalheads" even in my own country. Ghostorm was the all-time best metal band from Lithuania imho. Sadly, metal scene is virtually dead here nowadays..

This guy tries to confuse people about this and at the end what will remain is a negative impression on Ubuntu.

> So in my ideal world, VR would be a licensed or open standard system like Dolby whatever or THX are for audio. For example, if you bought a phone with the Whizbang VR logo on it, it would work with your Whizbang VR logo head tracking sensors, Whizbang VR logo head mount, Whizbang VR logo controllers, and be compatible with the Whizbang VR software API. But all that stuff could be made by different manufacturers.

That are exactly the goals of OpenVR and OSVR. Both APIs allow any vendor and any software to communicate with each other. In fact I used a Rift DK2 with razer hydras and leap motion (the driver for the latter being third party). Riftcat and trinus are two examples of third party OpenVR HMD drivers.

You can now buy lighthouse sensors and make and sell devices royalty free (currently with a temporal condition for licensing of attending a seminar).

The reason Vive controllers connect to the HMD instead to a USB dongle or link box is that dev kit users complained the wireless connection was problematic sometimes; But you can use them with a different HMD (through USB) or you can use different controllers with the Vive.

There are limitations at this time with mixing different tracking systems but I think it's reasonable since it's currently unusual, and I'm sure there will be third party solutions for either API when it's not that unusual (in the case Valve themselves don't offer a solution). The Hydra driver already has a calibration step to have it match the HMD.

In a few days Oculus users will be able to access a big library of Vive games using their Touch controllers. But unlike with the Vive and all other vendors, Oculus hardware can only be used with their runtime.
Take a look at the PsychedSubstance channel on Youtube - there's some great videos there to give you an idea of what to expect. Be sure that you're in a relaxed state of mind before you start. Ideally, be around people you trust and who won't cause you anxiety. If that's not possible and you want to try it alone for whatever reason, start small - half of a 100ug LSD tab is more than enough for a first trip alone. Don't be tempted to redose - the effects can take a good 3 hours to kick in, and can last upwards of 12 hours.
Yes, of course I know this - I'm sure many people know this. What Angular 2 calls a "pipe", though, doesn't refer really to the piping of the data (though of course it also uses a vertical bar), but the actual thing that's receiving/processing the data. Their previous name of "filter" was probably better, except for use-cases where there was no filtering being done.
