I believe this is why uber is pushing so hard to be global. They are the only large ride share company to expand widely beyond the US, and I think that's explicitly so they become the global name of pick up services. Being in that position will give them leverage with the obviously fickle users, even if only a little, and they will be able to position themselves as a platform for all those potential competitors you mention.
Err? Fwiw we put every feature we can in every device we can. There are often hardware limitations and of course we care about margins so there is hardware we could put on a cheaper band, but then it wouldn't be a cheaper band.

Once you get past hardware, almost all of our software feature decisions come down to battery life. The cheaper bands are smaller, and have smaller batteries, and compromising on battery life wouldn't serve our customers very well.
I take comfort in the hope that product placement actually works better when it is not implemented in that despicably crude way, and that eventually both sides of the transaction will learn to stay subtle.

If the cool hero uses a motorcycle to escape the evil henchmen I don't care much wether money was involved in selecting the brand of motorcycle. If he then spends a minute of screen time lecturing about the benefits of said brand, it should be considered a new category far beyond product placement.

Totally agree. I would have far preferred the bailout in 2008 to be put into an infrastructure program that put those classes of people to work instead of enriching the Wall Street crowd. But, no one asked me. Government should protect the unprotected and let everyone else fend for themselves. Instead it does the opposite these days, at least in America.
That's very ignorant, and plain sad! so basically you are saying that because of decisions made by the leaders of a certain country, you would like to punish everyone else? That's shameful almost.
Great introductory article, thanks for writing and sharing this!

While I'm not a CPA, I have spent many dollars and hours since 2011 on Bitcoin tax questions in the US, so here's my two cents:

In general the US requires consistent treatment of inventory for earnings calculations. It's a little weird to have to worry about that as just a consumer, but if the coins are property and being held then sold, you probably should keep track of gains and losses.

Now, you discuss the question of combining up your two inventories. There are basically four ways of accounting for inventory in US accounting:

FIFO -- First in First Out

LIFO -- Last in First Out

AVCO -- Average Cost

Specific Identification (I think that's the term) -- cost associated with a given item.

It is generally fine with inventory to pick one of these methods and accrue gains / losses appropriately.

So, FIFO: You show a gain of $400. (Note your next sale at $500 will net a loss of $500).

LIFO: You show a loss of $500 (Note next sale will net a gain)

AVCO: You show a loss of $50.

Specific Identification: Depends on the coin.

If you want to change your inventory accounting methods you definitely need to calculate out a charge (or credit) for the switch.

In general, I have thought for some time choosing specific identification rules and instrumenting a wallet to spend in the most tax efficient way possible makes a lot of sense, but it's way down the stack of projects for me at least.
Why is the monkey being forced to pay for services already rendered to him that were paid for by taxes? Is there a budget shortfall somewhere?

This is like saying I need to pay Oracle $10,000 for all those years that my drivers license info sat on an Oracle database :)
I would assume this is where insurance becomes involved in the matter on one side of the other.
Oh, I'm always in favor of fixing this bug in software.

But in the bad old days before we could do that, engineers and companies learned lessons when they made something that precluded the hardware from ever reaching the market. Some organizations are still going to learn those lessons. Many won't. I'd expect the latter category to still have significant catastrophic failures. It's just that they'll come later and be part of an amorphous "normalization of deviance" culture, rather than a clear learnable lesson of "before we order 100k of these, make sure to X".

He's right about AV code being shit. He's wrong on that being biggest impediment to shipping secure browsers. CompSci already created numerous secure browsers. Chrome architecture was even a performance, not security, enhancing modification of OP Secure Browser. The problem holding back secure browsers is none of the browser companies are using the proven techniques despite a number integrating with existing code. ;)

List of them was in this old comment:

Note: Illinois Browser Operating System (IBOS) and OP2 definitely worth looking up.
Do we know that for sure? Has anyone tried it lately? I'd like to find out but the cynic in me says it's pretty unlikely.
3D printing is very much like coding, promising a revolution for those with the mindset to work with it. My wife, a coder by profession, is extremely active in the 3D printing community, and her ability to research and stick to problems is why she is successful at it. This is not an accessible hobby, as is evidenced by so many of my friends who own 3D printers that started gathering dust the moment they learned it's not simply plug-and-play. You have to figure out your infill settings, watch your inclines, your print-speeds at various points in your prints, know what temperatures work well with what materials, know how to replace the parts that go bad every few hundred hours of printing, etc, etc, etc. It doesn't help that you will sometimes be hours into a print before you realize you screwed something up.

The 3D printing community, like Stackoverflow and coding communities, are very supportive and incredibly welcoming to beginners, but the skills we use in coding, the ability to research, experiment, and stick through extremely frustrating problems, are skills most people don't ever really learn. Our public education system is actively trying to address this with the much-misunderstood Common Core standards, but until such a mindset becomes more prevalent in our culture, things like coding and 3D printing will only continue to grow slowly in popularity.

In the meantime, nerds should see 3D printing as a still-uncharted territory for innovation and opportunity.

The problem is that it doesn't solve the problem with availability. With surge pricing, Uber is able to get you a ride whenever you want, if you are willing to pay for it. With fixed pricing it regularly happens that you won't be able to get a taxi for hours during busy periods. I've just been to Potsdam (Germany, Uber is banned there) and wanted to get a taxi back at night. I tried for 45 minutes by hailing and calling the local number several times, with no success. Either I couldn't reach anyone or they told me they don't have anyone available. Luckily I did this while already walking in the right direction, so I was at the hotel after 80 minutes. With uber I'd have paid more but would've had a ride within 10 min or so.

This ability to always get a ride within a few minutes, no matter where and when, that is what I (and many others) like about uber. Tracking cars in the app is nice but hardly the defining factor.

I'm not seeing anything there that addresses this.

To be clear, as a service deployment mechanism, this is fine. As an end user tool, this blows. Unless every container builds in support for LDAP or Kerberos, then each container is effectively a new computer on the network without auth setup in a meaningful way.

It depends on how the drives are packaged. A 2.5" SSD enclosure is much bigger than the actual storage device inside, which is closer in size to an SD card. Most of the bulk of this Snowmobile is probably taken up by enclosures.

Same dream here. But was going to be true since Pebble 2 has the HR sensor, and to make an accurate sleep tracker once you also have HR data does not sound like too hard. So I hope Fitbit is not going to ruin the dream.

It's not that exceptional, I've experienced that in several countries. Of course you could complain, but first you have to know who to contact at the local authority. With uber it's easy. If the driver tries to rip you off, you contact them and get fast and helpful support. And you won't have to pay if the driver decides to take a detour.
Free-DOS laptop maybe? No extra cost for Windows OS.
Cloud Foundry is closest to this vision, in my entirely biased opinion. We're already able to mount standalone installations on AWS, GCP, Azure, OpenStack, vSphere and others.

Distributing apps across multiple clouds is easy to say, hard to do. Each IaaS has peculiarities and wrinkles, different tradeoffs in performance and cost and so on. It takes a moderately tricky scheduling problem and turns it into a much gnarlier one.

What's easier is using high-level tools like Terraform and BOSH to manage installations on different IaaSes, and pushing apps to whichever one you like as you like. I can easily imagine setting up round-robin deploys.

That said: data has inertia. Any sensible architecture has to bear that in mind; typically apps will wind up living close to their datastores.

Disclosure: I work for Pivotal, we're the majority donor of engineering to Cloud Foundry.
Factom – Stores the world's data on a decentralized system using a blockchain
That is called Starve the Beast and has been the strategy of the right for decades. It goes like this: Use a slight budget deficit as an excuse to immediately cut back on services and infrastructure investments. Never raise taxes. If there's no deficit, lower the taxes on the rich while promising 'dynamic effects' that will magically increase revenue for the government. Repeat until the services are so underfunded so that they are more or less useless. Use that as proof that the government is worthless and never can provide anything of value, so it is better to privatize what is left of it. So in the end the only thing you actually pay for with your taxes is wars overseas to keep the oilprice low and corporate welfare.

It's no wonder Americans are complaining about their taxes.

I pay 25% VAT (less on e.g. food) and about 30% income tax. For that I've got a free eduction (Ph.D), can commute to work with (mostly) very good public transportation. Currently my pregnant wife is getting weekly checkups free of charge. I look forward soon start working halv time sharing 390 days of paid parental leave with my wife.

Sometimes I think I don't pay enough taxes.

One great advantage of Uber is that it works the same in any place of the world. Anywhere you travel, you know it will give you a fair priced ride. There are taxi services which only business proposition is to extract extra money of foolish tourists.

Except the dupe story, does anyone gave the book a closer look and can say if it's suitable for beginning programmers? By that I mean if it's suitable to study and implement an interpreter in other language without a degree in computer sience?

Programming is one of my hobbies and my dream is to do an interpreter on my own, but most books are so heavy to understand if you know what I mean.
