There are valid points here. Most people would agree reward should be commensurate with risk taken. But imagine a simple case of two contributors. Person A's contribution in absolute terms is far more significant than Person B's. But Person B's contribution as a percentage of Person B's available resources (so to speak) is much more significant than Person A's percentage of Person A's available resources. I think most people would still think that it's fair to base rewards on absolute contribution. But I think the author's point is that's not the only option available and not what she would propose. I have no issues there.

More generally, the point about startups - and the limited liability company vehicle itself - working to the advantage of those who already have resources is true, but there's more to it. Why it's true: If there were no limited liability company form and you had to contract for your liability to be limited at the amount of your investment, you would have to give up concessions to creditors. With a corporate form statutorily available, you needn't give up such concessions. Who is best positioned to take advantage of this? People who already have resources. So people who already have resources effectively receive a wealth transfer courtesy of the law. This is the equity version of the saying about debt - that interest is society's way of thanking the rich for being rich. That said, I view this is as tolerable because the system enables the least well-off to take risks they otherwise never would be able to afford. That benefits everyone, especially them. The real problem (if there is one, and in my view there definitely is, but I appreciate not everyone here agrees) is vastly unequal distribution in the first place, but I view that as a separable issue (one fwiw I would want to address by redistribution of wealth, not in how we divide up corporate equity).

BlaBlaCar [0] operates/ed only with community reviews (for drivers and passengers) and is doing just fine in EU... It is in fact so successful, that govs and press always talk about "services like blablacar and uber" (they're classified as basically the same kind of service)

Uber apparently makes you take a photo of yourself and then does facial recognition to confirm the user at the start of a session.

IANAL, but AFAIK there is a strict line between not providing incriminating evidence (legal, protected under 5th Amendment) and destroying evidence (criminal).
It's a mess, isn't it. I'm still on an HTC One M7 (2013) with 5.0. And I'm a software developer who just sticks it on the business.

I was all set to get the new Nexus, looking forward to the marginally quicker software upgrades (or even, some software upgrades now they've stopped on EE in the UK) and then they announce the Pixel. With the higher price bracket I can't see it getting the volumes, which means even more fragmentation.

I don't want an iPhone, especially with the mess they're making with Macbook Pros but it's looking like the sane option.
And Uber is spending $3 million on legal services for their drivers.

That is irrelevant. FreeBSD getenv doesn't protect accesses to the event with a lock, meaning that getenv will access a freed copy of the environment if a concurrent call to putenv resizes the underlying array. Musl has the same issue.

Well, you can't have it both ways. Either:

a) You expect Uber/Lyft to take part in your strike, in which case you are impeding travel, or

b) You don't expect Uber/Lyft to take part, in which case no one should be coming down so hard on them for "breaking the strike".

I think it's great that NY Taxi gave their immigrant employees time to participate in the protests, but, they could have... y'know... just done that. Not called for a strike. I'm not sure where you're hearing that it wasn't a strike, though: seems like everyone here is convinced it was an actual labor action, as does the original article. Not saying that's the final word on the matter, but it's pretty confusing what went on, and it seems a bit crazy to call for this strike or non-strike or whatever it was, and then get pissed at Uber/Lyft for not participating.

I don't agree with you that my words are "demeaning". People's actions have consequences. If protesters had extra trouble getting to/from the airport due to the strike, then I consider that a bad consequence of the strike. If there was even the possibility that someone detained by the CBP could have been released during the strike and had trouble getting home because of the strike, then I think "poor taste" is a generous description of events.

Anecdote: I used to sleep about 8 hours a day, but then had a long period of anxiety and depression that caused me to average about 4 hours sleep a day. This lasted for about 9 months, maybe more. During this time my brain was on constant overdrive, thinking about everything all the time, for most of that time I didn't notice any loss in alertness or clarity. I was particularly anxious about my friends and was out seeing different friends about 13 nights a fortnight. I was probably getting drunk about 3 nights a week. When I get depressed I don't really eat much, and I lost about 17% of my body weight. It was terrible, but in all this time I never got ill at all, not even a mild cold or cough. I missed the whole of winter 2015/2016 cold season, and I've got ill at least twice a year in winter for as long as I can remember. I am even ill now!

I was speculating the other day with a friend as to why this might be. I suggested that because I wasn't looking after my house I was pretty much sleeping in mould and I have heard anecdotally that that can have antibiotics that may have had an affect. He suggested that in extreme stress your body is less likely to overreact to a mild infection, and so maybe any infections may have much less obvious symptoms.

I'm pretty much better now and am attempting to sleep 7h30 a day, but it really does feel like a waste of time.
Ya, I didn't even know what "pre-sales" meant before getting the pre-sales architect job I have now. Know your tech, know how to dev something, but mostly know how to communicate. It's the communication thing that often separates folks. I really like having that customer interaction in different industries and solving different problems, also traveling.
A license shouldn't be sold. I cannot sell my driving license.

There are different types of licenses. The driver is still licensed: e.g. in NYC they need a "New York State DMV Chauffeurs License" and they can then apply for a "New York City Taxi Driver license", which includes a standardized course and exam [1].

The taxicab medallion licenses are separate: they are not a license to drive a taxi, they are a license to operate one.

The licenses relating to peoples' competence cannot be sold, but the ones relating to operating a taxi can be.

Just to be clear, I was never told that I am "too old" but simply wasn't a "culture fit". Note that particular reason was given probably 1 out of every 10 times and the other 9 times, it is usually along the lines of "we did not find you a good fit for the role".

Funny enough, I do have a particular industry (actually two) that I am extremely interested in - FinTech and Cloud Computing/Hosting. Neither which I have any commercial experiences in and only ever dabbled on my own free time.

And yes, I have tried cold emailing companies that I am interested in but no dice. :(

Thanks for your reply though! Did get me thinking.

Morally, certainly yes, that’s why they’re the CEO. Their only defence against responsibility is incapacity to fulfil their duties, in which case they should resign immediately.

Given your skills and industry focus you might have good chances to land a consulting job at one of the big IT consulting shops in telecommunications.

I have worked as a business consultant at Accenture for six years in its telecommunications practice. Assuming your resume highlights both your technical and sales skills, you surely would have made it to an onsite interview for our team. With 12 years industry experience and team lead experience you could at least push for Manager level (the lowest executive level) or higher. For a technical role you should apply at Technology Services, not Consulting. Either way, that you have deep experience with specific vendor products also is a credential that you should highlight.

I am not at Accenture anymore and have no stakes in recruiting. My post most probably also applies to the other big shops in the industry: IBM, CapGemini, probably Siemens depending on your location.

From what I can tell, you have to buy a new phone, otherwise you'll be stuck with a device that doesn't get critical security updates.

iPhone SE is a somewhat viable option, it's quite new so it will be supported for a while, and doesn't have the big price of either iPhone7 or Pixel.

edit: Just want to say that new features at this point is not that interesting IMHO, security updates on the other hand, that is what makes a difference.

I remember when I switched away from tables, it was due to a performance issue(back in 2008). I could have the div based layout render about 700ms faster. I never went back to full table layout, but I never ditched tables for layout purposes entirely.

Of course this is anecdotal, but I wonder wether it'd be just easier for browsers to just improve table performance.
They don't have to afford them outright. There could be external financing. It's like how the vast majority of people can't buy a home or car outright but can get a loan to do so. In this case if the price of the item is low enough, the value of the medallion itself would be the collateral.
There is real risk when business mingle with politics. Both Musk and Uber should consider this before working with Trump. Thiel will be forever marked as Trump supporter and he saw it coming.

As for your suggestion to work with bounds of reality it should apply to Trump. If he want to change immigration policy he can work with Congress to pass laws and regulations. His flashy actions are just for his silly supporters and not for the benefit of US.

Trump plan is to govern through the crisis. He will make flashy stupid actions to get everyone attention while Republicans and Lobbyist disassemble what has been achieved in last 8 years.

I don't think that Kubernetes is the most important thing on prod. Some colleagues from another team at $WORK use plain Docker and "orchestrate" their containers with simple systemd units that run `docker stop|start`. If the app is only a single container, that should do it. (Actually, in that case, I think that `rkt run` would be better since the process runs below the same cgroup, and systemd can detect crashes and restart the container.)

Anyway, Kubernetes is not so important for small deployments, but what I've found really helpful is CoreOS: an auto-updating base OS that gets out of the way and (more importantly) ships a combination of Linux kernel + Docker that usually works really well.

Not sure where you got the idea that the Nexus 5 didn't get Android 6. I still have the Nexus 5 and got Android 6. It was also still getting security updates until December last year [0].

Android 7 was only announced in Match last year too, and wasn't released until August, 5 months later, so it's not even been out for 6 months yet.

Personally, I've switched to LineageOS which is on Android 7.1 and that is working fine (although I understand that installing ROMs isn't going to work for the vast majority of people). With a Google branded phone getting ROM support is more likely to be supported for those that care about it, otherwise 'normal' people will just get a new phone every 1-2 years when their contract is up for renewal.

I don't really agree with this, but 2 years of OS upgrades and 3 years of OS security fixes (from Google for their phones) seems 'okay' and is better than what most other phone manufactures (of Android phones) offer.

That is a first world problem. Majority of the the world does not have a credit card or real access to a card. Majority of world pays with cash. A statement like this is similar to when I see American abroad and shocked that places don't take Amex for purchases. It's a very first world thing to even own an Amex let alone use it for a small purchases below $50.
It's not a problem in this particular case, as CSS Grid was introduced by Microsoft, in IE10. So, more or less, four years ago.

I chuckle when Google announces that Chrome will support this feature as the next big thing, while it was clear years ago that this approach is much better than flexbox. But, I'm glad it finally lands in all browsers.
OK, so tables have semantics of tabular data. But the shit ton of semantically meaningless divs that are sprinkled around the structure to provide hooks for CSS declarations in the "usual" style of doing layouts is somehow better? It's much larger, much less readable, much less obvious, and breaks the "separation of content and layout" rule even stronger than tables. So again, why is this better?

And yes, I've been in this space for years, and this is one of the better example why I feel most of the webdev world is cargo-cult advice that's internally inconsistent if you look at it carefully.

About the trust and reputation issue, I think blockchain technologies could play an important role for decentralized services like this.

I would like to see a multipurpose reputation / trust system based on the blockchain, exposing all the needed features as a simple library and / or HTTP API, ready to be implemented by apps and websites.

I think we are still in a period where a lot of products are built either in a centralized way, or all on the blockchain and decentralized technologies (like IPFS). It makes sense as we are still in the experimentation phase, but it could change in the near future. People could start using the blockchain where it is the most efficient today, as a brick part of a product (e.g. to build a solid decentralized reputation system), instead of being the foundation layer of the product.

> 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_ possible in theory to use gets safely, as long as your standard input is trusted. For instance, if a process forks and connects the standard input in the child to a pipe from the parent, which always writes a fixed amount of data to the pipe, you can use gets() without risk of overflow.

(This is a really contrived scenario, but I don't know of any simpler one where using gets() is safe.)

Replace "nested tables" with "nested divs", and this is exactly how web development today still looks, at least if your company employs a designer. Slicing is still a thing.
I immediately thought the same thing upon reading. One thing that comes to mind is: automatically triggered data destruction. If laptop or the phone detects non-owner access attempts and destroys data on its own, is it destruction of evidence? Owner did not do it, and it was there just to protect from the real bad guys: corporate spies, identity thieves.

The issue is, for now, a machine can make good coffee, but it cannot make great coffee. There is a lot of science behind the perfect cup that we still don't understand, thus making a machine understand it is impossible. It is still a craft.

If I go down to one of my local roasters, I know I get servered the near perfect cup. A machine would have to be calibrated multiple times a day to achieve the same level of consistency. And the barista would need to hone his/her skill to keep doing this.
