Great video thanks for sharing.
Perhaps a silly question as I do not have a lot of experience with software like this, but:

What prevents Lastpass, bitwarden or any other third-party to update their software (and/or compromise the download server) to synchronize all information un-encrypted in a new version which is auto-updated by the user?

I currently use KeePassX, and synchronize this file with a secure server myself since I feel uncomfortable with having software that handles the encryption also controlling the synchronizing service.
All the bad drivers would be 40% less likely to crash into you. And since your are a 3x Driver, the only you risk you have while driving, are all the bad drivers.
Thank you for mentioning Nim here, it's always nice to see :)

Indeed, Nim doesn't see as much use on embedded systems as it deserves. I've used it once on an RPi to create a little camera security app and it worked rather well. If I had the time I would write something about that.

Actually, now that I think about it, I will definitely write something about it. My book was originally going to include a chapter on embedded development in Nim but I sadly had to remove it from my plans. I already promised some people that I will be writing some articles on embedded development in Nim as a replacement for that chapter :)

This is a huge issue and some people even take pride in being "bad at math". That's like being proud of being illiterate.

And these people hardly know what math means. They are bad in arithmetic and stopped there.
That is clearly not true. See, for example: [Industry publication]

A clarification: I meant that if you would show a net loss if you summed the net income of each airline in the industry since inception.

To be fair, while it definitely isn't clearly not true, my statement certainly is not clearly true... ;) Some non-industry pubs backing my not-clearly-true statement:

Let's forget about aviation flag carriers and the 'orthodox' legacy US airlines for a moment. How do 'low-cost' airlines make any money, especially in Europe where they advertise fares for paltry amounts? Even with charging extra for bags, food, early boarding, decent seating, etc., does the money they make per passenger cover fuel costs and landing fees alone or is profitable in any sense of the word? What are the business incentives in entering this market, then?

A hypothesis is that low-cost airlines often fly to lesser-known airports further away from popular cities and extensive hub operations; airports which have a difficult time attracting orthodox airlines for these reasons. Therefore, such secondary airports compete against each other to attract carriers, because without a commercial carrier the utility of the airport greatly diminishes for the residents of the immediate area, who may demand to redirect government funds to other expenses.

But if an area can retain its airport with commercial service, multiple fringe benefits result: local businesses will be patronized by air travellers even if just to get to the major city of their choice, and the area's profile will be raised on a national level which may make it more attractive to businesses and discretionary residents.

Therefore, we can assume that some amount of government subsidy finds its way into the pocket of low-cost airlines that choose to serve a particular airport. I posit that local governments face similar pressures with regard to improving accessibility to metropolitan points-of-interest and a large-network provider like Uber may be able to offer a solution at a price the government is willing to pay. This has already happened in New Jersey [1], and I expect to see more of this in the future.

> I think the concern that people will start calling them moz-colon-forward-slash-forwadslash-a is a little ridiculous

Honestly, I'd be happier if someone called it "moz-colon-forward-slash-forwardslash-a" instead of calling it "moz-colon-backslash-backslash-a". I've seen so many people mix up slash (forward slash) and backslash!
Sorry that this is a limitation for you. Currently event handling is only available in the commercial editions, but we do plan to gradually make more and more of this functionality available in the free developer edition as well.
LastPass does actually know URLs. After logging into LastPass.com, you can navigate to https://lastpass.com/getaccts.php (only accessible post authentication with a valid session cookie.)

This will return an XML document with your vault data. Most of it is encrypted, however an URL parameter is encoded as hex, in plaintext. I am able to look at all URL. They could be storing the blog fully encrypted in a server datastore, but at some point, the LastPass servers are handing the client non-encrypted URLs.
I'm currently working in both. If we are just talking about them in terms of their respective merits, Elixir is my preference. It has a wonderful compiler, pipes allow for composable chains of logic, the Phoenix framework is wonderful for web development. Literally every interaction with it I've had has made me think "wow that's just a great example of excellent programming taste...". In terms of scaleablilty, I've heard stories of a single server able to handle millions of requests. Not personally been able to verify that (nothing I've done in the language has reached that kind of scale sadly...). Once you get used to pattern matching, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. The community is amazing and supportive. The language creator Jose Valim has responded to my emails directly which is really cool.

With Node, you can cobble together pretty much everything I've described (except for maybe pattern matching) above but it's a bit of
a kluge IMO. You can program functionally. And you can make yourself a kind of "compiler" via linting or perhaps by using Flow or Typescript. I've yet to find the experience fluid or pleasant. The language is just not designed for that stuff. ES6 is a huge improvement that said. And before you go thinking I am a node hater, I love JavaScript and use it all the time. I'm just painfully aware of its shortcomings because of how much I work with it.

My biggest issue with Elixir is that it's hard to set up a proper CI/Deployment pipeline. It CAN be done and I've done it but nothing "just works"
like it does with Node. Try dockerizing a phoenix app or setting up a heroku instance to see what I mean. All of these things work but it's an obscure language so one needs to be more advanced to understand and address problems in that area.

To sum up: very excited about Elixir and hope it continues to grow. If I was starting a new project I would probably use it.
Side issue - I've become very reluctant to even click on sourceforge links. I never know if that's the real, current site, or just an example of sourceforge's sometimes practice of keeping a project for ... how do they make money off that scheme? Or is it just not wanting to let go of relevance?
I would add a third category: fortune.

Lot is what you were born with.

Luck is when random things do or don't happen regardless of skill. You can manage it to an extent. Bad luck through being careful and various types of insurance, good luck mostly through participating. Buying bitcoin 3 years ago and selling at great profit now is pure luck. Maybe you influenced the market to grow, probably it was pure luck.

Fortune is the result of stochastic processes. You can do a thing, invest your skill and knowledge, and it can work out or not. Sometimes it works better, sometimes less. For instance, you launch a product that can do between $2k/month and $5k/month and it hits $4.5k/month instead of $2k. That's fortune. Your input affects your chances, but nothing is ever certain.

With time, fortunate events compound and the more often fortune works out for you, the higher your chance that it will continue to do so.

Or as Peter Dinklage says: "I hate that word—’lucky.’ It cheapens a lot of hard work. Living in Brooklyn in an apartment without any heat and paying for dinner at the bodega with dimes—I don’t think I felt myself lucky back then. Doing plays for 50 bucks and trying to be true to myself as an artist and turning down commercials where they wanted a leprechaun. Saying I was lucky negates the hard work I put in and spits on that guy who’s freezing his ass off back in Brooklyn. So I won’t say I’m lucky. I’m fortunate enough to find or attract very talented people. For some reason I found them, and they found me."
The universe is a physical dynamic system, we humans overlay our own social dynamic system which inescapably lives within physical bounds. But that overlay may or may not accomplish things that we desire from a human perspective by the laying of those additional social constraints. We should always question the bounds our own social system because it really is the most arbitrary set of rules that we've laid upon ourselves.
They created a product that people love. I live in Mexico City and my experience is similar to the one described in Singapore plus the fact that, so far, nobody has ever been kidnapped while hailing an Uber.

Riding a cab has gone from slightly dangerous and more often than not displeasing experience, to having a private driver that knows exactly where I want to go and how to get there. Besides, not having to use cash is a great plus as well.

So there you go, maybe not in the US, but in many countries where the taxi industry totally sucked, Uber has already succeeded big time.

Show your work means that the process for doing the problem works in a sufficiently generic situation. The student's methodology would not work for solving the equation:

x^3 = 7

Hence I would mark the student's answer wrong. At least at the level of a college algebra course. Guess and try is fine for getting an intuition for a problem but it is not fine as a solution.

EDIT: I don't care about down votes but I'm interested why there is disagreement with what I wrote. I've been teaching mathematics at the college level for 20 years and I believe my answer above fits with what most college level teachers think about the topic.

So, why do you disagree with what I wrote?
Google has always shoved its own items above the real results before. Search for a stock quote and you'll get Google Finance and not the top result right under your search bar. The real top sites like Yahoo Finance, MarketWatch, etc. must hate that. Not that odd to see them displacing ads as well now since they already displace search results in their favor.

I also found that confusing. I think in this case "less wealthy" is within the context of Tesla owners, which is basically upper middle class(?), which sort of makes sense. At least that's how I read it.

I hear you. Just one point: Keep a sense of humor and cut people some slack.
Maintaining safety is easier than navigation when you need to deal with all situations. Consider parking in an open field or responding to a traffic cop redirecting traffic. A car may simply stop and require a driver to respond in such situations with any real safety risks.

Personally I believe most people are really terrible drivers. That being said, there were 210 million drivers in the US in 2009. There's probably a lot more today. That's just 0.01% of drivers. That fact makes me have to question just how bad people really are, despite my own personal opinion. Or maybe cars are just really safe. A better statistic might be number of accidents.

In 2015 2.44 million people were injured in car accidents. That's a much more telling figure of just how bad most drivers are. Apparently our cars are just really safe.
I agree with this, however I don't agree with the author's take on the self driving car part. He says:

> Let’s assume that we will see fully autonomous vehicles that can navigate city traffic in the near future [...] If this technology becomes available, I doubt that Uber will have a monopoly on self-driving car technology.[...]I think it’s safe to say that many companies will have access to self-driving car technology.[...]In this scenario I don’t see how Uber can generate reasonable profits

In the ideal 'future' society, everyone will have a self-driving car they can order to pick them up wherever they are. This would drive Uber out of business. However there will be a whole taxi industry for performing this service when someone is outside of their own city.

I believe the taxis of the future will be there to assist someone in one of two scenarios:

1.) Someone in their own city who doesn't own a self driving car

2.) Someone who is in a city different than their own

I still think there will be plenty of business in the above scenarios - and Uber is positioning itself to be the industry leader/titan. It's definitely a huge gamble since predicting the future is impossible at worst, and extremely hard at best; but we'll see if Uber can stay afloat long enough to reach it.
How long do you expect?

Java 7 had less than four years of support.

Ubuntu Desktop LTS was three years, and starting with 12.04 it increased to five years.

That's a language runtime and an operation system known for their stability, forming the bottom of very wide and deep ecosystems.

Show me a web framework with a 3 year LTS, and I'm overjoyed.

Which, particularly for those agencies, comes about due to the most absurd of reasons:

1. We'd treat drug using employees really seriously

2. Therefore you must not do drugs

3. Because we're so serious about this this becomes a major blackmailing vector.

4. So we need to make really sure you're a drug user.

It's an entirely manufactured problem that could be solved overnight by them just saying "hey, don't show up high on the job, but what you do in your own time is your own business, and we won't pro-actively investigate it anymore than any other citizen".
Segregation can be fine...as long as governance follows. Unfortunately we don't have entities like "Federation of Cities" or "Rural Alliance", or "Republic of r/The_Donald" to provide governance or services, so for the time being we're stuck with each other.

You talk as if the switch doesn't look like a bunch of arbitrary decisions made on the appearance of purity. If more of an attempt had been made a maintaining compatibility, there wouldn't be nearly as much fight. Python 3 becomes a bit uncanny valley for me when I try to code in it and I tend to use a different language as there less of an internal code switch, especially as I still have to maintain large numbers of python2 code.
Apart from the other individual language/framework differences others will no doubt give you - Uncle Bob makes some great points on why we should be moving to functional languages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Zlp9rKHGD4

To summarize his best point: Processor manufacturers are betting the farm on multi-core. They want to increase performance by giving you more running cores, so you should be using a language that makes multiprocess programming easier. Functional languages, especially ones like erlang, do precisely that.

In the US at least (I haven't ever bothered to look at how branded car dealers exist outside the US), they already have a network of physical locations where they can ship anything and service anything they sell. There are also the rental agencies and the people that manage fleets of private vehicles that work directly with the local dealers on behest of the global organization- Uber doesn't have this and would have to build it. Right now they are pushing that part of the logistics of their organization on their drivers since it is their own personal vehicle.

This is something you can see Tesla having to do the hard way in comparison with their coast to coast supercharger network. There was no physical infrastructure to support their product so they had to build it, and established car dealers already have it which is part of why Tesla overcoming that was such a challenge. If I have a US make car in the US and I am in a moderately populated area I can make a reasonable assumption I can get to a dealer in an hour or two wherever I may be, and Uber would have to overcome that.
There will naturally be tradeoffs; where we differ is whether those tradeoffs will be worth it.

There already is a secondary market for welfare benefits, to the point where someone who wants to squander it is able to do so, and worth mentioning that the end result to someone who burns their benefits irresponsibly is the same either way, crime or starvation.

Administering the bureaucracy necessary to enforce these controls (of varying effectiveness) carries a very real cost outlay.

With that in mind, UBI carries the promise of significantly less overhead with the idea of identical societal goals.

The alternative is a great ramp-up in the scope and size of welfare systems, like what you might see in the Nordic countries. This idea also has its proponents, but I don't think it would fly in the USA.
Yes, it's very likely that different demographic profiles have different driving behaviors.

But given that they've shown this 40% crash rate reduction in their current demographic, it's reasonable to expect to see a similar reduction in other demographics (maybe not of the same magnitude, but at least in the same direction).
Right, and that's exactly what I'm referring to. See this article that got a lot of attention:

Thanks! Unfortunately, the page currently uses Hover's "stealth redirect" which embeds the profane URL in an iframe. So, if the profane URL is actually blocked by content filtering, you probably still won't be able to access it.

I'm actively working on the page. Once it stabilizes, I'll consider mirroring a sanitized version instead of using the "stealth redirect".
Finally someone is saying it loudly. I've tried to make this point in the past to no avail. If Lyft can hold out they may survive over the long-term, but the strategies that allow Uber to be dominant will also prevent it from being profitable while maintaining market share.
