I think a lot of companies use software that wraps twitter. My company makes contact center software, and "twitter" is just another media type like calls or email.
Work doesn't always imply progress. Ask anybody who stacks shelves or waits tables for a living, or someone who works two or three jobs.
I was looking for something like this a couple of days back. Looks cool.
They can start to profile you across devices more easily if you're signed up.
I wonder what it costs to get these images, and if you could get them more cheaply by flying drones? I guess that would require a presence in a lot of places though. . . . Still, maybe you could focus on just a few cities, and get pictures more frequently than you'd get with satellites? Maybe there is an opportunity there.
If Java is the COBOL of the 21st century, PHP is its RPG... ;-)
Depends what kind of software you write. Wouldn't want to get into an aircraft that has software written to those standards.
Maybe holding this arbitrary line in the sand as if it were a commandment is why Twitter apparently needs to be "turned around". 280 characters isn't now extensive prose - it isn't fundamentally changing anything. It has been 10+ years and they are still losing a tremendous amount of money, I think it is time to lose the idealism if there is a win-win for users and revenue.

At some point "condensed" thought just means reduced quality of communication. If some users want to say more, let them pay a dollar. I doubt users would be rattled to their core because some people can put two tweets in one.

Bottom line, users don't care about what Twitter's agenda is regarding character limit. Nobody decided to use Twitter because they were excited about a 140 character limit, they use it in spite of the limit. Twitter should be focusing on what the "in spite of" reasons are, because those are the reasons that define the intrinsic value of their service, not the character limit.

I believe most people use Twitter because it gives them the attention of an audience. If you can acquire the same size (or redundant, since most are on multiple platforms) audience elsewhere, then what reason is left for a user to tolerate any annoyance or quirk of the service?
1. Cable only channels in addition to OTA channels

> Kalanick is the CEO.

And the driver is not an employee. Yeah, I know this has been discussed a lot of times, but the way Uber is set up, there's absolutely no reason for Kalanick to give an Eff about the driver's situation.

And indeed: the loyalty cuts both ways. Uber drivers can immediately drop Uber and simply work for Lyft. They have complete and utter independence from the Uber company.

Its just the nature of how Uber has been set up. I understand the driver's frustration, but what more does the driver expect?
What's the total population of people living in such dense cities vs elsewhere?

According to older statistics I was able to find, it's 58% living in cities of over 200k people in the USA, but that's way more inclusive of a measurement than what would reflect cities that are dense to the point where, for instance, walking becomes more desirable than car ownership.

For instance, the Phoenix metro area has over 5 million people, but it has no really "dense" areas in the walkable sense. It's sprawling desert that was able to be built up recently and spaciously.

In the USA, there's likely a couple dozen million people max living in the too-dense-for-cars cities, and there's hundreds of millions in the population at large. We have the most mobile population on the planet, thus we can "vote" where to live far easier, and the vast majority lives outside those areas. Sure, most are still urban and suburban, but certainly not living in NYC/SF style density.
I don't remember the name of the company nor the question but in the dot com era there was a startup in the central square neighborhood of cambridge which was notorious for asking candidates one of those gotcha "really hard to answer if you'd never seen it before" questions. The catch? Apparently that question was something which every MIT CS had seen before but wasn't frequently used elsewhere. Thus they were effectively filtering for MIT grads without being obvious about it.

Kind of bizarre that they decided to highlight the free OTA networks most prominently in their marketing, when it's actually a cable replacement (or at least a partial one).
Well, the original reason for the 140 character limit was because you could get tweets via SMS, which at the time had a character limit.
Aww... that seems a little early to call ;).
Sure thing - I just didn't want to sound like I was saying "as a Googler this is YOUR problem" that's all :)

Even for embedded software though, if something hasn't been looked at for years then the original developers probably don't remember it and may not still be around. If a client want's a feature or tweak then the institutional knowledge is gone and the best bet would be starting from scratch.
Who is hiring for the long-term? Most devs are gone in 2-3 years.

My uncle's like that. He has no idea in exchanging ideas, he just wants to tell you what he thinks and have you agree. It's exhausting to engage with him. When he first met my fiancee, he spent an hour telling her (a clinical geneticist) all about why vaccines are damaging. That was not fun.
Kalanick's opinions and behaviour are obviously of interest to the public right now. There are quite a few anecdotes that, taken together, paint the picture of a thoroughly chauvinistic CEO with a bit of social darwinism thrown in for good measure.

His comments here further that impression: he throws around jingoism in his awkward attempt to impress his companions ("every year is hard for Uber...") and is either uninformed or dishonest with regards to the driver's complaints.

The "footage of him with two women" could not be cut out because it is the entirety of this video. It's necessary both to prove the identity as well as adding context and body language.

The women aren't identifiable and him being out & about with two women could have been observed by anybody, and was probably observed by the people at whatever Super Bowl event he was visiting.

It's also hard to judge this without remembering that Uber employees had, for years, full access to any customer's ride data, and often used it for fun & stalking. They boasted about their ability to algorithmically tag "rides of glory", set out to punish a journalist by digging up private information about her, and collect data about user's positions not directly required for their actual service.

I fail to see how this is character assassination. It's a primary source – the video itself carries the meaning, and if that is damaging to his reputation, then the flaws are his and not something made up by any journalists. Likewise, I ain't reducing anyone's "bayesian priors" because the driver's credibility is completely irrelevant. He's not making any relevant statements of fact beyond those visible in the video.
> He made a decision which affects this mans livelihood.

You don't get to challenge everyone in your life who makes decisions that directly or indirectly affect you.

That's funny Kalanick still thinks he's beaten Lyft. The TNC lot at LAX tells a much different story.

I've been working it for Lyft since December. The lot has about 170 spaces. Lyft and Uber can each queue up 100 vehicles so some would have to park on streets.

Before #deleteuber, I would come in with 90+ drivers ahead of me. I'd have to wait an hour. I would watch Uber drivers arrive after me and leave before me. And the lot was always full while the airport had arriving passenger traffic.

Since #deleteuber, it's much different. LAX seems to be in Prime Time much of the time. But here's the weird thing, the lot is like half empty. There's like 20 cars in the lot that fly only the Uber branding (and plenty flying both logos on their Uber-leased Priuses). I haven't waited more than 10 minutes to get dispatched, except at like 2AM when the passenger air traffic tapers off. On most of my LAX dispatches in the last week, I couldn't even reach a parking space and park before getting dispatched. And this arriving with sometimes as low as 50 drivers ahead of me, and typically 80 or more.

The most incredible time, I arrived at LAX. It was Prime Time in the airport. The app told me the queue was full and to leave. I drove slowly down Jenny Street, the app flipped to 98 ahead of me. I entered the lot, followed the traffic jam of Lyft drivers trying to get to the designated parking area. It took like three minutes. I was dispatched as I entered the parking area. I took the short cut through the fence to exit the lot and picked up my fare.

But here is the clearest indication to me that Lyft completely owns LAX now. I arrived, parked, ran to the porta potty and took a leak. 3 Uber drivers were hanging out near that end of the lot, talking to each other. I got my dispatch while walking to my car. I picked someone up, took them to Marina Del Ray, came back, got dispatched again and those same 3 drivers were still killing time talking to each other.
Frankly, if you don't know the difference between a disclosure and a disclaimer, you shouldn't be commenting.

> Politics is truly separate from threatening to kill/rape people, why are you grouping them?

Because it's not. The actions of actively authoritarian/alt-right political actors on Twitter are inextricably tied to the movement itself. Milo Yiannopoulos was not banned for the content of what he said. He was banned for saying things he knew would rile up his base of threatening, assaultive troglodytes into attacking someone based on their political priors. Coca-Cola is not going to pay Twitter if Twitter is a cesspool of people whose idea of political speech is threats. And, right now, a very large portion of it is. And given that free speech has the implication of free association, it's very fortunate that those poor benighted alt-righters who are so very censored have their own places to talk where nobody will get in their way--

--but, of course, it's not about talking about their political ideas at all. It's about forcing others to listen to them.

Twitter need not be an accessory to that. There is no great loss, either moral or financial, to the slow leakage of anime avatars and Twitter eggs.

I'm just not seeing 35$ a month worth of value. Sit coms? Get a grip, man. I feel like they should pay me to watch them. TV is a wasteland. Some cable channels are pretty good. SciFi, Comdey Central, sometimes FX. (I don't like giving money to Fox, but Always Sunny is the funniest thing ever made.)

If they had a way to pick channels and only pay for those, that would be worth looking at.

EDIT: Do you still have to watch commercials? I don't see anything about commercials. If there are commercials then not just "no", but "hell, f*ck you for asking, no".
We give these assignments but if we give you one you're already coming in for an interview. What I dislike are the companies who use it as a screen like you describe.
The particular thing I like to test in an interview is "How are you at communicating something that (should be) in your wheelhouse -- Asking questions, explaining your thought processes, discussing tradeoffs, etc". For a recent graduate of a CS program, that's probably "Solve a data-structure/algorithm based problem". For anyone who isn't a recent CS graduate, there's probably a better question to ask.

Mostly what I'm going for is:

(1) How does the candidate communicate something they know that others might not.

(2) How good is the candidate at what they claim to be good at, for the purposes of calibrating their resume.

People have cargo-culted an interview process from a time when developers were largely CS majors hired somewhere out of undergrad, and then stayed at one large company for a few decades, often because it is what they went through. But this process doesn't translate to mid-career or non-CS-major hiring.
$35? That's a ridiculous price I think, especially people who have consciously cut the cord.
I mentioned this in another thread recently: let users have about 10K followers for free, and then charge them for followers after that. A lot of celebrities straight up profit from sending out a tweet endorsing a brand. Twitter should get a cut of that and I think this would be a fair and easy way to do so. People pay for their influence.
No he sounds like a skilled artisan who is bringing his unique skill set to the table in an equal trade. He doesn't need to doff his hat and thank the kind Master for this opportunity.

Yes, but you basically have to pass a notability test to get it (https://support.twitter.com/articles/20174631). hellcow and nikcub are suggesting to just open it up to anyone who is willing to pay for it.

It's not like he had a right to challenge him, he had an opportunity, which he took.
No one seems to be discussing this, but is Travis personally responsible for the loss of the drivers 97k? The driver sure thinks he is. Perhaps he played some roll in it. But the driver certainly made the decision to take out that loan. And I guess the driver had enough sense at the time to understand the risks involved with credit when he took out the loan. Well then you might say it's not the most compassionate thing to say to someone who clearly is suffering from financial loss. But I think it only seems like a mean thing to say because it's true. And it's really these truths that people don't want to accept about themselves. That they themselves are responsible for their own suffering.
Got it! Didn't realize you set them in properties. I guess to differentiate, I could work on shortlink-only search queries in the omnibar as well (and more powerful organization). Thanks for the demo!
This makes sense, although I would keep it simple and just offer for example normal and extended messages (max 280 char) with extended costing for example $0.10-$0.50/each.

Condensing your thoughts to 140 characters takes effort. This would allow trading the effort to money. The per message fee would limit the usage of this feature, encouraging people to still keep things short and only use the extended feature when they really need it.
I'm a HUGE fan of Scheme. And of Lisp, in general. But having seen in the "real world" how so many people are so adverse to Lisp's beautiful syntax, I'm pretty confident that JavaScript would never have caught on if it looked like Lisp rather than like C.

> Twitter is the kind of app you clone when you're learning a framework like Ruby on Rails, it's not a complicated idea from a technical standpoint.

That's quite a gross simplification. You could say the same about S3. It's no more complicated than a server with RAID hard disks in it.

Even the simple stuff becomes really complicated at scale.
Well, thankfully TFA includes a short paragraph talking about the standardisation of exception handling, so here's hoping to have that resolved soon.

$9.6 billion technology budget?! What do you think the Federal government's technology budget is?
trelliscoded probably meant bits in scratchpad, which are not accessible to the programmer. I read somewhere that those hidden bits may not be saved and regenerated properly as part of cpu resuming execution of the program (task switching). I do not know if that can happen, but even if not, achieving consistency on subsequent runs is quite difficult - apparently one has to make sure the program and all libraries it uses were compiled with special compiler flags that prevent data alignment influencing results of FPU operations.

You are confusing being unable to pay with desire.

They are very different things.
> At least for now, WebAssembly does not support garbage collection at all. Memory is managed manually (as it is in languages like C and C++). While this can make programming more difficult for the developer, it does also make performance more consistent.

Ouch, back to the 80s, early 90s. I think I'll stick with JavaScript at least until WebAssembly gets garbage collection. I might be wrong but I don't see many people writing SPAs in C++ for the extra speed (let's say, the JS layer acting like an X Server for the DOM, driven by a C++/WebAssembly application). Games, yes.

Furthermore JS has view source. WebAssembly has a text format [1] but it's really assembly. Hopefully there will be source maps [2].

> Has Google ever released info about an unpatched critical bug on their own systems/applications?

It seems pretty unreasonable to fault Google if the answer is "No, because they patch critical bugs in a timely manner."
They wouldn't have had a choice, though, just as folks don't have a choice with JavaScript.

I imagine that folks would have cottoned on to the advantage pretty quickly. And those that didn't … I guess they could have always become telephone cleaners or something:-)

I think that is left open to the implementation. _If_ an implementer thinks there is a benefit in doing so, he's free to do so.

In fact, that's similar to how a CPU runs "real binaries". Modern CPUs use _some_ runtime information to make code run faster. Examples include branch predictors and the recognition of stride lengths to move data into the cache before the instructions being executed need it.

That's only small bits, but it _is_ runtime information. I do not rule out that WebAssembly developers, similarly, will find hat there are ways to use runtime information that speed up WebAssembly code.

> Who would choose suburbia? It's a compromise, and in every respect the city centre or the village is better.

Sure, having the only big house with a big yard in a city center would be awesome, but there's a surface area issue where it isn't physically possible to have as many homes in the city centre. So it isn't merely a compromise around cost, it's that there couldn't possibly be enough homes (of the type people enjoy living in in the suburbs) in the city center.

City center living is just as much a compromise: a nice private yard would be great, but I'm giving it up for a more walkable neighborhood. More storage space would be great, but I'm giving it up for a shorter commute. Etc. And if I lived in a city with better traffic, I wouldn't prioritize the commute time as much, so I'd be much more likely to intentionally choose suburbs.

Suburb vs village is a separate question where I would choose suburb 9 times out of 10. You're likely to be in easy distance of far more cultural, entertainment, and dining options.
