Apps for hailing and pre-agreed fares exist with normal taxis in Sweden, at least for normal in-city fares. Also there is no medallion system.

Basically the things that create a market for Uber (limited taxi permits, low tech regular taxi) aren't as pronounced in Sweden as they are elsewhere.

Uber is a taxi company like any other.
The magnetometer is always recalibrating itself, so changes to the local magnetic field can be cancelled out.
Interesting question.

I would say - Password only ssh logins; Old / Vuln libs; non tests covered code; XSS and SQL Injection from all the code. - But this is really boring.

AI witch threatens to take over developers occupation - this is more interesting idea for future consideration.

But really I just want to see one thing to be destroyed - idea that creating new tools will solve all the issues (looking at you JS world) instead of improving existing ones or even real deep thinking about the problem beforehand. And then dropping it (new tool) after something new more shiner comes up.
I haven't used many of the new AWS services. Someone tell me, what's the quality level? I'll be surprised if all the new AWS stuff works that well given how divided their focus must be now.
What is "insane" about quality chocolate? Below 60% cocoa chocolate has either too much sugar for normal tastes or funny ingredients, 60 or 70% cocoa dark chocolate is sweet, 85% cocoa dark chocolate is mainstream, 99 or 100% is really bitter, covering a range of different tastes.

The important chocolate quality axes are choice of cocoa varieties and quality of processing; the industrial-tasting 99% Lindt tablets in the photo have nothing in common with their Amedei or Bonnat counterparts.
>I touch on this in another comment, but mostly because bio people do not understand math and therefore programming.

This is extremely condescending.

I know many brilliant biologists who are also great mathematicians, statisticians, and programmers.

Anesthesiology isn't really a bio field at all. It's a medical field. A field that doesn't do a lot of cutting edge research. What you describe is engineering, and is likely headed by competent engineers, and funded by said Anesthesiologist.

>But they will never understand the math and they do not trust it at all as a consequence.

Again. Extremely condescending.

The people who researched, designed, and built the machine you describe are likely extremely competent in math. Yet, you are describing the end-user, and from that inferring the designer of the machine to be of the same expertise as the user.

Check your assumptions.

Please provide ANY proof that Coke Zero or Diet Coke is bad in any way. Post a study.

Why is healthier in quotes? Why do you believe artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and splenda have negative health impacts? Gut feeling? Please post a peer reviewed study done on humans.

I'm curious. What is your position on climate change, vaccines or GMOs? Do you follow scientific consensus by looking for peer reviewed studies, or wing it either way based on your gut feel and facebook memes?
ProtonMail v3.6 Release Notes
Thank you - yes, I was planning to base the implementation on etcd's. I appreciate the heads up:)
in x86 assembly it matters because what is comparison exactly? cmp is (very cleverly) defined as equivalent to sub (subtraction) without storing the result, only setting the flags.

the jump if greater/lesser/equal/greater-or-equal/etc instructions are all defined in terms of checking the sign, zero, carry and overflow flags. for instance, jz and je are the same instruction. you just use one or the other if it makes more sense in context (I used to write asm by hand for the art of 4096 byte demos)

I used intel notation, because that's what the Asphyxia tutorials and turbo pascal used. So it's what I'm used to. I don't have much of an opinion about the order except that it was an idiotic decision to swap it, either way, the confusion that caused doesn't weigh against if/which one would be more theoretically "right". All the sigils and pre/postfixes seem messy though.

You open with, "People don't move to Iowa because it's Iowa.", but then you say, "If economic conditions in Titan were similar to Norway, you wouldn't have a shortfall of migrants."

As far as the US economy goes, Iowa is a great place to live. We have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation coupled with an extremely low cost of living relative to most areas in the US. Despite these great economic conditions we don't have a huge influx of people migrating to Iowa.

As far as Norway goes; Norway has a fairly unique economic situation to the rest of the world due to their welfare system that is enabled by the profits coming from the vast amount of natural resources they are able to export.

Considering the huge cost and resources that would be associated with colonizing a planet I don't see how they would have an economy that bears in resemblance to that of Norway for any foreseeable amount of time after colonization.

I'm not saying Nestle isn't evil, but yeah, in terms of water scarcity, they're inconsequential.

The real problem for water scarcity, is not overpriced-as-fuck water. It will always be a tiny slice of water use, because it is overpriced as fuck. The problem is water being given away for free or nearly-free for nonessential low-value uses.

The consensus solution among water management professionals is full water pricing.

Credit Karma | San Francisco and Los Angeles| Full Time, Onsite | https://creditkarma.com

Credit Karma's mission is to make financial progress possible for everyone. We have over 60 million US members and are a true mission-oriented business, a rare case where our incentives are aligned with our users - we succeed by helping our members attain financial progress.

We've been growing rapidly over the past few years (hypergrowth) and are hiring across a wide range of positions. On the backend side, we are moving to Scala-based microservices using finagle and Thrift, and as well as GraphQL on node.js. Our native iOS and Android apps are #1 in finance (with a 5 star rating on the App Store) and we're rebuilding our website in React + Redux. Our data teams use Kafka, Spark and BigQuery among other technologies.

If you're motivated by growth and impact Credit Karma is probably the best place to work in tech today. We have solved product / market fit and distribution, but compared to our peer unicorns there is still so much work to do. If you look at the gap between our product today and what we are well-positioned to become - the main touchpoint for consumer finance - there is tons of opportunity for people joining now to take on responsibility and ownership and have a meaningful impact.

Ever wondered why electric cars from established manufacturers are all ugly? that's why: they develop the technology but they don't want people to buy them yet. They are too good for the customer and they would not be able to make money off of them, after the initial sale.
USB 3.0 for one. Then there is their port of Intel's video driver from Linux and drivers for wireless NICs.
I think this is a great idea. I don't know of any firing right now, but in the past I would have had some really good info.

Oh I overlooked that. Guessed that the others were older. My bad on that.
Feels like slavehack in a way.
Except the products are 100% overpriced knockoff junk. They're only there, as GP said, to make it just barely not a pyramid scheme in the eyes of the law.

Nobody joins Amway because they believe in the products, they join because they believe in the pyramid concept.
The whole isolation thinking is spreading "downwards".

Just look at recent hoopla in the Linux world about using "containers" on the desktop to isolate different processes from each other, and from the users files.
(I WORK FOR AWS)
Each service has it's own dedicated service team. I've used some (not all) of the new services and I believe there is room to improve but I didn't think they were unstable or anything like that.
But to be very clear, the core complaint isn't the injection.

It's that AV - basically all AV - is buggy and insecure in totally unrelated, internal ways. It does shockingly dangerous and irresponsible things like leaving exposed debug frameworks on a program with kernel access.

So my concern about AV's browser injection isn't "they should interface better". It's "this is shamefully bad and dangerous software that I want to uninstall, so it should stay out of my browser". Fixing that isn't a problem for Chrome devs, it's about making a product safe enough to contemplate interfacing with. (There are a handful of AV contenders for that, and I don't object to them.)

A 40% reduction of an ingredient doesn't mean that somehow there's a void in anyone's product (they could reduce the product size also, but that's a separate matter). It just means that the other ingredients together will represent a higher proportion of the final product in relation to the reduced ingredient.

Think of it this way: 1% milk has some of the milk fat removed/reduced, but that doesn't mean any other ingredient has to replace what is taken out (again, some may choose to add other things, but that's a separate choice), and your milk carton doesn't have to get any smaller. It just means your same milk carton has a higher percentage of the other components of milk.

To be clear, the article states: "this can be done without affecting the taste... Its scientists altered the structure of sugar so that it dissolves more quickly. This fools the taste buds, with the effect of raising the sweetness."

The way I read that, it seems to support the idea that nothing else has to replace the reduced sugar. But practically speaking, yes - if the other ingredients are costlier than the reduced sugar (as a higher percentage of the final product), then there's a good chance some other fillers could be added to maintain product weight and size.

if you're trying to achieve parity with human brain calculation the most important thing is how slow neural connections are. they're snail-paced compared with gigabit links and CPU's @ 3 Ghz+. There's quite a lot of memory that is needed but if you're allowed to make a million round-trips across the room before you miss your realtime deadline, it's kind of silly to think that it won't happen. The fact you point out (about not all parts firing at once) could be useful because it might result in these links not being saturated by data anyway.

I wondered about this as well. At the very least, AWS provided admin protection during a DDOS attack. Unlike other providers their administration portion of the website was always online and accessible. This was an important and unsung benefit to using AWS.
