I think the hullabaloo around this immigration matter is reasonable. However, it would have been really great if the left had used the same amount of enthusiasm and vigour to protest the killing of innocent muslims civilians[1] by the united states, but i guess it's alright if their party approved of it.

I don't have a single college credit, but theory is important for a lot of non trivial shit, for example cassandra, dynamo, project voldemort all use chord+ gossip protocols , i. What about concurrency and parallelism CSP, and the actor model are from where academia. What about Zookeeper, Chubby, Etcd where do Raft and Paxos come from academia.

You don't need a degree yes but theory is relevant however yes a CS degree is not a good indicator of any skill and too many CS educated people can't code worth a damn. Theory is not useless as long as you can implement it.

I have the feeling Angular was fad.

I met many people who bet on it, but most of them, even the 'fanboys' didn't seem to be 100% convinced of it.

When I was working at Microsoft ,we used Time travel tracing extensively to find out bugs in asp.net,IIS and many other server side technologies where you cannot debug live.You can capture the trace from the live process while reproducing the isuue.Move it your local machine and debug yourself to oblivion :) .Imagine you use gdb/windbg and you can go back or forth from any breakpoints ,check the state of stack ,any variables etc.

But these tools were internal and not available outside.It did require good assembly knowledge and always condidered cool by everyone else because not everyone knew or mastered it.I always thought that Microsoft should open source or at least release it outside .

> As MLK explains, the point is to create a more general disruption so that everyone has to take notice of an issue they might otherwise ignore

The problem with this approach is that unless you do it in a way that's relevant to the original issue, you're just dragging innocent people into your fight and victimizing them. Depending on how much of an asshat you are to them (like, say, stranding them for several hours at an airport when they've just got off a flight), there's a good chance you'll push them to be less sympathetic to your cause.

What if Uber (and Lyft; by your definition they broke the strike too) didn't agree with the reason for the strike, or found it counterproductive? It's well within their rights to do so (and I'd agree with them). Just because your "transportation brethren" decide to take some action, it doesn't mean you should play lemming and take the same action in solidarity, especially if you think that action is in poor taste, or is harmful.

I mean, c'mon. During the time of the strike, people needed transportation to and from the airport more than ever, given the protesters coming in and out. And hell, if detainees had been able to clear CBP during the strike, the strike would have actively made it harder for those poor people to get home. I'd say the taxi workers union should be ashamed for picking that time to strike.

For me, and I thing the future of economy the quality human labour with heart and soul put into the product is worth more than automation ( for the sake of automation)

Ironically, if the court order to put a stay on the ban had come in during the strike, it would have made it even harder for those poor people to get home. How's that for "inconvenience"? The strike was a bad plan.
Nice. Can't change it now though.
So Uber's choices are (a) Do nothing and be accused of profiteering from the strike, (b) Forgo profit and be accused of breaking the strike, or (c) Recognize that they're in a hostage situation and be forced into joining the strike.

I'm no Uber fan but those are pretty lousy choices to force on anyone.

There are three things you can say about the popular vote in the 2016 US Presidential Election:

- the result of the popular vote and the electoral college were not the same

- the popular vote/electoral college split confirms that the country is very split and that Trump does not have a mandate.

- the electoral college may not be the best way to elect the president

What is much harder to argue is that the results of the popular vote would have been the same if the election were based on the popular vote. Both campaigns were run with the Electoral College — not the popular vote — in mind. The GOTV efforts were similarly run with the Electoral College — not the popular vote — in mind. Voters themselves to some extent take into account the Electoral College when deciding whether to vote and who to vote for. Many people choose not to vote if they're in a state where their vote may not matter much. Some people trade votes. Some people choose which candidate they vote for (for example, third party candidates) depending on the likelihood of their vote effectiveness.

And all of this needs to take into account how few voters turned out in general. This is nothing new, of course, but it does bear keeping in mind when evaluating statements like "the majority of American voters".

Oh, there's a fourth thing as well:

It's very distracting from other important issues, from both sides. Some (not all) Clinton supporters hold it up as validation that Clinton should have been president. Some (not all) Trump supporters (and Trump himself) view the popular vote important enough to repeat claims that voter fraud is the only reason Trump didn't win the popular vote as well. At this point there are more important issues to focus on. One of which may be the role of the Electoral College.
I'm probably in the minority, but Uber's fares aren't what make me prefer them over traditional cabs. The up-front pricing, which limits scams, is a huge plus. And the lack of ability for drivers to discriminate against minorities/destinations is also a huge step forward.

Even if Uber eventually raises prices to what cabs currently charge, it will still be a massive improvement. The schadenfreude I feel when seeing cab drivers struggle has little to do with their prices and more to do with the abusive antics they made us put up with when they had a monopoly.
> 2 brand spanking new Teslas passed out like party favors would have been cheaper than having this story hit front page on HN alone.

That's actually quite problematic. I hate corporations as much as anybody, but there are now actually people going around demanding free stuff and threatening to make up some story to "my 20,000 twitter followers". Or consider the story of the developer of "Dash" that hit HN: he threw all sorts of allegations at Apple, and using the HN community as props actually got Apple to offer him a way out. Only thing that exposed this scam was that he got drunk on his power and posted the audio of a secretly recorded phone call (!) which he believed to be supportive for his side of the story (it mostly just made public that "someone" was faking reviews for apps with an account using his credit card, hardware, name, address, and naming scheme)
Trump is 70 years old and he's currently the most powerful man in the world. He won't be "controlled" by anyone. But he likely will listen to the advice of people he respects.
In another part of the world which consumes movies voraciously. An Indian movie called "Bahubali" which had lot of special effects (of varying quality), was made for 40 million USD. It is a two-part release so each one cost about 20 million and made ~100 million. The second part is yet to be released.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baahubali:_The_Beginning

One can imagine the special effects from efforts like these become mainstream, reducing the cost.

Those aren't requests to hand over all a user's data to the government. Half of those are subpoenas, and half of the remaining are search warrants. You're probably thinking of NSLs, which you can find ranges for https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/userdatarequests/U..., but those don't contain content. Also, it's unclear why you're talking about the number of Americans when the executive order is a change in the handling of foreigners' data.
Built into what you're proposing is the assumption that everyone agrees about what constitutes hate, bigotry and racism. Which is my point: this works when convincing people who already agree with you, but not in today's violently polarized political climate.

Today, if I read an article describing someone as racist, that gets me no closer to understanding them as a person, because I have no idea what the article means by that, or if the author can be trusted to wield that word.

I realize one feels uneasy making long-winded arguments about something that seems so obvious, but that it is necessary is just a consequence of diversity of thought. There are actually people who disagree with your characterization of this order as racist or bigoted who are also sincere and thoughtful.
If you're talking about civil disobedience, then this taxi strike is not an example and ultimately not of much importance or purpose.

Immigration and customs officials refusing to follow the ban order would be actual disobedience and far more effectual in signal and lives changed.

Then I'm either paying for (and waiting for) taxis a minimum of two times a day, or making my 15 minute commute into an hour or an hour and a half commute on public transportation (depending on the exact time of day).

By not owning a car, I'd avoid certain costs and inconveniences by opting for certain other larger costs and inconveniences. If I lived somewhere where it was actually feasible to ditch the personal vehicle, I would've considered it by now.
> Funny error message? Intermittent fault? No worries, give it a thorough looking over. Find nothing. Okay, give it back to the customer.

Well said. This might be a problem, in a state of mind way, when you think of your car as a computer but not so much a car. Have you tried turning it off and on again? No? Well, do so and the errors will go away. Not really a good attitude for a car manufacturer.
That's exactly right. I don't know what metrics are used inside the dealership but I suspect they encourage this type of behavior, perhaps unintentionally.

Say you have two service writers. One is highly competent, motivated and puts the customer's interests first, they try to properly diagnose the problem and fix it the first time. They will also strive to learn from any mistakes so they are not repeated. The other doesn't really care and just does the easy thing. Throw parts at the problem and if you can get the manufacturer or the customer to pick up the tab then all the better.

When it comes time for promotions what gets considered? Is it minimal repairs, customer satisfaction or is it dollars in the register? It could be some combination of all of course but I think at the end of the day it is dollars as long as the customers in general have a perception they are being cared for. If that means telling them a repair will be free from BMW that's probably even better than not having a problem at all. A customer may think "Wow the dealer really helped me out of a jam there!" even though the problem never existed.

Over time this means that the thoughtful and customer-focused service writers get pushed out of dealership service departments for a lack of performance. In fact the service writer at my independent shop used to work at the dealer and left.
Android had user profiles for a while.

This all assumes the border guard is simply going to go through texts, pictures and maybe open up a facebook or similar. If forensics get hold of it you're screwed.

The worst thing to do, when facing rubber hoses, or legalistic equivalents thereof, is to lie. Especially if you're not a well-trained lier. And especially if there may be independent evidence that would trip you up. The best option is having nothing to hide. When crossing hazardous borders, sensitive stuff should be securely in the cloud. And when coercion is likely, a third party should control access to it.
Medallions as an idea to regulate the market is not bad. But the impelementation we see today is the result of years of lobbyism, and to some extend corruption.

If a city needs to regulate the taxi market, and there could be reasonable arguments for that, for instance, ensure capacity at all hours, or during peak periods. A medallion systems works fine, because you can sell a medalion with terms of when to drive. We do it for doctors in Denmark. If you want to practise medicine, you must do a certain level of on-call duty.
Well thanks for telling me at least. I reread OP's comment and I see what was meant now, it wasn't clear to me at the time I commented though.
Londoner here. From my perspective the medallion system always seemed crazy. Contrast with London, in which becoming a licensed cab driver requires you to pass examinations, health and character checks, but the actual ticket price is pretty cheap in comparison. https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/taxis-and-private-hire/licensing...

The difference being: London saw a need for cab drivers and introduced licensing to ensure quality, New York (and other cities) saw a need for cab drivers and saw a revenue stream.
All of that may be true, but it's still valid to point out the popular vote discrepancy as a response to the claim that the American people chose Trump. As an American voter who opposed Trump during the election, I feel especially entitled to do so in response to someone who criticizes us as being "stupid" for having done something that many of us don't feel responsible for having done. Indeed, if further evidence surfaces of Putin's involvement in the election, I'll feel even more secure in my opinion.

I appears one of the main advantages of Uber is you don't get to see the guys who didn't want to pick you up. For one, it's less obvious an uber cab has driven past you than an official cab (NYC/London), and also only guys who want you will accept you as a ride. So you don't have that awkward 2am "it's not on my way home" conversation.

Right, and on Sunday he followed up by unambiguously calling the ban "wrong and unjust".[1] Which was also a fumble because it sounded like a reaction to the blowback.

Also interesting: Uber pledged $3M to help drivers right now. Lyft pledged just $250K/year.. to the ACLU (annual budget: $133M). But Uber lost that one too. People want war with Trump, not diplomacy.

As for turning off surge pricing, clearly it was after the strike and meant to reduce customer complaints about surge pricing after exceptional events. But it also means they were "effectively undercutting taxi drivers as they returned to work after protesting."[2] Another "Doh!" moment for Uber.

Actually kind of. But I think it is not about being submissive, but creating something for another person, with the will to create joy for the other. Slaves cannot put this premium into things, nor can machines. Paying for mass produced stuff is worth only so much, but hand made stuff is worth more because of this in my eyes.

But sure, you can always bash others for being dominant/submissive and enjoy the company of robots instead, and clap for another step in the direction of a uniformized dull mass produced world, where there is no submission, just freedom within will-less machines.
I prefer a different freedom, based on free will.

There should just be one tool, one command. "modernjs build". Done.

You seem to be building an argument based on the idea that there's "one true way" to write web applications. There isn't. People have very different ideas about what's best. While ostensibly different tools do the same job, they take quite different approaches. For example, take "gulp vs grunt vs make vs npm" for the build process. gulp uses "JS with a framework" for config. grunt uses json. make uses unix-y scripting. npm uses JS but plain node.js without a framework. Those are opinions, and there isn't a "right" one.

Suggesting there should be one tool for compiling web apps is a bit like suggesting there should be one C compiler for compiling C programmes. There can only really be one tool if there's only one way to do things, and that's simply not the case. With different approaches comes different tools.

But, all that said, it doesn't matter to an individual developer. Choose the tools that suit you, learn them, and be happy. Whatever approach you take to development is far less important than writing software that works for your users.
Absolutely. It's really more a robot waiter that hands you the coffee.
