i read the post roughly as follows:

people who have power and resources - and a safety net to shrug off failure - are in a better position to start companies - they aren't necessarily taking much risk - in fact, if they are sufficiently well off, there could be more risk (in terms of opportunity cost) in not starting a company.

of course, not everyone who starts a successful company is necessarily powerful or has access to more resources than others, etc.

people who have power and resources are in a better position than others to acquire more power and resources. not a hugely surprising statement, but worth pointing out, and worth pointing out that the common "we took more risk so we get more reward" could in fact sometimes be closer to "we were in a position of power so we get more reward".

Ummm... startup employees working three jobs?!

Well... that's one way to run a startup I guess. However, the startups I've been around have actually paid pretty well.

Perhaps I'm an outlier? Perhaps I can't empathise with such a situation, because I have been fortunate enough not to be in such a situation.

I was however once offered 1% of a startup that I wrote the first lines of code for. The startup is still going - well it seems... however I am not there. I chose to leave, and we should recognise that we always have such a choice. We always have a choice to leave.

It's funny though - you never really think about how much 'you deserve', until you're offered a percentage. I have sometimes wondered whether you're better off not being offered anything - in which case, the amount you 'deserve' never comes into play.

I do however empathise with how much some people get paid (or those that don't get paid at all) - the people that are just getting by. I believe that we have pools of talent that aren't being utilised, and I do see that as a waste.

The world most definitely isn't fair, and there definitely is a very real imbalance, and unfairness in the system. If some people were just given the space to breathe, to work on their passions, I think think we as a society could actually prosper even more. Not only that, but I also believe that we as society, could help those who have little to offer to still get by - to help them off the streets, and to provide the basic necessities of life that we all should have. I'd rather not walk past a homeless person on the street, or have someone that feels the need to steal to get by, only to have us spend resources locking them up in a prison cell.

And this article seems to touch on some of this - but in different words. It has a certain feeling to it that goes beyond startups, and to the fairness of the world.

I'm starting to ramble however - perhaps I should start writing a blog of my own.

Plenty of sites would like to disagree with you.

Nginx and PHP7.1-FPM will make it quite fast, even on a $5 DO server. Caching will speed it up quite a lot more, but you should always have your pages behind a cache, thats one of the points of a CMS is to generate you html that is stored until modification.
Completely disregarding the rest of the page/service/post I kinda dislike that Telegram is being touted as the most secure messenger out there. That's not even close to true. By default all that Telegram offers is transport security and afaik unaudited end-to-end encryption with their own protocol if two users choose to use it (and lock themselves into the platform they start that conversation on).

I've been looking for something like this. Not because of Trump but because I strongly oppose the "sharing economy" that is explotative of workers, circumventing legitimate market regulation and reaping profits in a centralized manner.
No, it definitely has to be voice-controlled, like a Starfleet replicator. Until then, I'll just use the machine I have.
I don't see how that's a benefit.
Docker is very well suited for local development and testing, particularly since the launch of Docker for Mac and Windows. It makes utilities like MAMP less necessary.

But apart from local development, I'd say that depends on your needs. If you want more ease-of-use, and you run a single-server hosting environment with multiple projects, it may be easier to keep doing that without adding Docker. But if you want increased security and better isolation between your projects, Docker is likely a better solution.

In any case, I would strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with Docker, at least locally. After a while, you can decide if you want to take the leap and use it on your server as well.

In that case LibreTaxi should be just as safe, if Uber/Lyft don't have any tricks up their sleeves.
That's great, as long as they do it in a way that allows both me and the driver not to have to wait an hour before the transaction gets confirmed. So either someone needs to shoulder that risk or those micropayment platforms on top of Bitcoin need to start making some headway.

It's likely/possible for the drivers to be insulated from that with something like bitpay that auto-converts to currency.
Dealerships as a whole are not going to treat a customer like the person in the story above. They live and die on customer referrals and there are many rewards from manufacturers for being stand out. This includes servicing vehicles not purchased from them and at times even different brands.

The Tesla model irks me because they are also pretty much keeping all repair work in house; disclosure I work for a major parts/repair/distribution company; and this limits both customer choice but also valuable information on reliability that all consumers should be able to get access too.

That letter at the end looks exactly like a corporate guilt acceptance letter you see in the news. We settle but do not plead guilty. That just doesn't cut it in a consumer oriented industry like auto sales and I really don't see how Tesla will be able to defend their dealer less strategy with the III should problems shake out this way. If anything the noise on the internet should be loud.

Certainly a valid concern but I will say that the willingness of both rider and driver to share a ride with a stranger varies from country to country.

I spent quite a lot of time in Russia before Uber took hold there and taking random rides from strangers, negotiating a price up front, was extremely common. Even as a tourist, I did it hundreds of times and it was generally accepted as safe by the populous. Sure, incidents occurred but I would bet if analyzed they were no more frequent than taxis or Uber.

> This is a fine example of a union strike harming people.

IMHO every strike is about "harming people". That's the point. When the bus drivers in my city strike, they do it to cause mass inconvenience to get people to notice and get a message across.

> If it isn’t baked-in to the operating system, the fact that the journalist was using some out-of-the-ordinary software itself, which may or may not have undeniable tells, would likely be a red flag and induce liberal use of the rubber hose.

This is in fact a thought that I've had about Truecrypt/Veracrypt: given a user, it seems the probability of them having a hidden volume is high. It might be deniable in the cryptographic sense, but it's very highly suggestive.
Any solution that has to maintain plausible deniability must be resistant to automated forensic exploitation suites commonly sold to law enforcement.

The pre-boot authentication phase is far harder to attack than an operating system that has already booted, so the only solution I can see is a typical hidden volume setup with two independent operating systems. The capability needs to be baked into both iOS and Android by default.

Cloud backup, wipe and restore is also nice, but not necessarily an option for some people depending on the circumstance. On this front, I wish Android would stop sucking. From what I understand of iOS, it's simple and easy to do this with iCloud, and you end up with basically perfect backup restorations.

Why it's even acceptable for western border agents to rifle through people's private digital lives is mind boggling. It has zero national security value (there's already a large intelligence apperatus that does this at internet-scale), so the only real reason has to be to catch non-technical people lying about their immigration status. Somehow that justifies violating everyone's rights in the process.
Without reviewing the statements in question, I would guess that he also understands that the Attorney General would likely resign or be fired in such a situation. How else do you imagine that it could possibly work? Do you think that any President would do otherwise? Especially when the acting A.G. was a holdover from a previous administration who was going to be out the door in a couple of days anyway?
Actually, immigration from 'around the world' only dates back to 1965 for the US [1]. Before that, it was more or less 'whites only' - preferably not even eastern European whites. And it took many years for the new policy to be felt [2]. So the history of the US as a nation of immigrants from around the world is rather brief, and saying it was made great by this is untrue, unless you're arguing it was 'made great' entirely in the last 40-50 years.

They'll argue that the Knowledge allows them to route around bad traffic, rather than just following what SatNav or app says to do. Many cabbies have SatNavs that show live traffic conditions so they can do this, but they don't use them for navigation directly. Cabbies tend to know a lot more of the time saving shortcuts than the private hire drivers.

It's also very nice to be able to get in a black cab and say something like "The Civil Service Club please" and they'll know exactly where to go, no prodding at a phone/SatNav for a minute or asking for a postcode.

The downside is that some cabbies use that same knowledge to their benefit. I've been in several cabs where the driver has purposely used a route that's bad for traffic (rather than the obvious alternatives) so they can earn more money for a journey. (This is more common at times when fares are sparse.)
But who is 'they' in this analogy? The immigrants on hold aren't even from the biggest Muslim countries.

Temporary immigration restrictions on 6 countries is hardly the same thing as du-humanizing Muslims.

>We do not know if it is first step of many but direction is clear.

No it's not. Many other countries have very strict immigration controls dependent on the migrant's origin country and they aren't exactly stuffing people into ovens.

yes an escrow system would definitely help. It'd need some initial 'trust seeding' tho, but if you're not too paranoid that's quite okay.

Maybe one of the creators of the system knows someone or runs a car himself and he can initially start providing these initial "ok's" to the system.

That's somewhat terrifying! I'm surprised there isn't a requirement for a backup, analogue version of core instruments, as there is for planes fitted with digital displays.
There are actually taxi cooperative or call center that have their own app. But they're each limited to one city.

What they need to do is get together to release a high-quality app that works all over the world by relying on the local taxi call center partner.

I guess there's two ways you can look at it if you're given the chance to advise a President you disagree with:

- Disagree out of principle. Someone else will step up to fill your stop.

- Agree and provide your POV of policy. A 'worse person' won't replace you (immediately).

> You can't write an executive order that says you can get access to something you previously needed a warrant for without a warrant.

Well, you can. If the US AG thinks it's illegal, you can fire her. If it's argued in court, you've got a floating SCOTUS appointment ready to make.

(The distinction between "can they do that?" and "can they legally do that?" is normally pedantic but at a time when CBP are reported to be ignoring court orders ( http://nypost.com/2017/01/29/customs-agents-ignore-judge-enf... ), this is becoming increasingly important)
This has nothing to do with "angry taxi drivers". This is about making "the innocent people traveling" feel as stuck as the innocent people affected by Trumps order.
Some people might wish to diversify the range of blog authors they read.

Contrary to the implicit assertion you make, nothing -- not even programming (and writing about programming especially) -- is inseparable from identity. Consider, for example, that where someone grew up is likely to influence how they think and write about programming. Why would gender not also have an influence?
>You are committing that error.

No I am not. I am fine with disruptive protests, but they should be disrupting the people who need their minds changed. What is so difficult to understand about the fact that we are talking about protesting in the wrong place entirely?

The analogy is MLK protesting in an all-black church to prevent the constituents from hearing a sermon from a civil rights activist.

This has nothing to do with "inconvenient" protests so much as idiotic protests disrupting the very choir to which they are preaching.
I live in a city where all the taxi drivers know where they're going, and regularly have to travel to somewhere that the taxi drivers rely on GPS. On more than once occasion with the GPS-enabled drivers I've had to stop them and give them directions; something I've never had to do when my drivers have local knowledge.

Right? What a waste of time it is to study such a non-practical skill. Unlike us smart folks, who produce highly valued products and definitely not digital garbage. Now let's all pat ourselves on the back for being so clever.
It's a nice little book. Normally these things can be a bit hit and miss with the way the authors opinion of code structure seeps into them. You often end up with a bit of a 'this is wrong' mentality when in fact there is nothing wrong at all - thankfully they seem to of avoided that with this one.

No Rideshare Insurance? NO PROBLEM!
Considering the number of drivers/riders these services have, and the number of rides completed, I'd say that's an impressively small list of -- in many cases alleged -- incidents.

There's no way you could reasonably expect a rideshare service to eliminate all such incidents.
That changelog is mind-bogglingly good
A very big stretch. Restricting immigration from a narrowly defined list of unstable countries (a list that was created by Obama with regards to the visa-waiver program) is very different than imposing restrictions on Muslims. Muslims from every other country aren't affected and Muslim citizens in the US are also not affected.

This isn't a Muslim ban. This is a 90 day ban on people from specific countries with the goal of improving the vetting process. It's neither permanent or specific to Muslims. Obama did a 180 day ban on Iraqis for the exact same reasons.

The effectiveness of this policy can be debated, but comparing this to Hitler -- that's just nonsense.

>Corporate personhood is a long standing legal principle stretching back at least 400 years to the first joint stock corporations

Equating modern corporations to the limited government granted corporation (permitted only for a limited and explicitly stated purpose [like building a bridge or railroad] in the public benefit) of 400 years ago and the nearly limitless powers of a corporation leveraged out of the 14th Amendment is a bit dishonest.

"The Corporation" gave a good summary of how the 14th amendment (passed to protect the rights of the newly freed slaves) was hijacked by corporate lawyers to dismantle the traditional limitations on corporations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qNmV4Iv0GE

IMO getenv's API itself is to blame since it won't let you provide a buffer. As such if the libc wants to provide a local buffer it has to figure out a way to allocate it for the caller.

As far as I can tell glibc's implementation is probably what the people who designed getenv in the first place had in mind, just return a pointer to a global buffer. At best FreeBSD managed to create a workaround for modern environments.

There are unfortunately many such oddities in the standard libc APIs, remnants from an other time. Let us remember that "gets" was standardized as part of the C standard at some point, a function that's by design literally impossible to use safely.

It is an attempt to normalise the idea that non-male programmers can work and communicate competently in their field. Whether you like it or not, certain elements of the technology community implicitly or explicitly reject this idea.
