This is really interesting, I've seen people using jenkins not for CI but just as a simple job scheduler, as it's a pretty well known thing with jobs/timing/pipelines/etc along with emails and all that added.

Adding an extremely elastic cluster onto that sounds nice.

"End game" indeed. Self-driving cars shed the only competitive advantage they have: efficiently organizing thousands of drivers.

Surely self-driving cars will also be available to consumers. It's just a software update from there to a mode that lets your car earn some money when you don't need it. The manufacturers will be the first to offer the remaining booking/billing/insurance service, but there'll be plenty of competitors.

Uber, meanwhile, will start with >100 billion already burned in a 5-year mission to obsolesce.
do you plan to opensource all of Stitch integrations?
But on your own car you'll know once you've had to fill it once. And for other cars it's probably rather irrelevant as the hoses on filling stations are long enough to reach over/around the car. Seems like something pointless to be mad about, actually.
F# has an even better type system :)
I really hate this notion of "you have no right to complain." The only thing that your contract takes away from you is your right to pursue legal action on things that fall outside of its scope. If you have a contract and the company begins doing things that you believe are outside of the spirit of the agreement, you should absolutely complain. This driver is even maintaining the terms of his contract by continuing to drive.

The idea that you shouldn't be allowed to express your grievances because you work at the pleasure of your employer/company is toxic and regressive.

Using the label "profound" on your own statement seems a bit self-aggrandizing.
Relying on upbringing as a CEO for public image purposes is very naive. He should have been professionally coached on how to react in certain situations, regardless of what his parents taught him.

I run Ubuntu on an old iMac and run the latest Chrome. Maybe you could even try this out inside of VirtualBox?
Edit: Upon more careful reading, it appears that a response is sent from the server to the client via WebSocket which contains the resource and method that the client can request using HTTP if it wishes to update.

Original question: Can someone explain to me why the JSON message sent to the REST interface seems to contain URL and Type as data?

Is it because they are transmitted using web sockets but the concepts of "resource" (ie: clubs/v1/clubs/665632A9-EF44-41CB-BF03-01F2BA533FE7) and "method" (ie: GET) still just make sense and happens to be very similar to HTTP?
But what if for example, someone put all their money on Twitter stocks and then go bankrupt because of it? Is that Twitter's fault?

The driver took a big risk and expected a big reward, but that didn't work out, but it was his own decision. Personally I wouldn't buy a luxury car based on the promise of a startup, certainly not if I wasn't able to afford it to begin with.
Glad I went cheap with my 670 about a year ago. All the buzz about eventually upgrading to the 1080 family was clearly on point.
Of late I have felt that this is the technique used by companies to get ride of older and expensive employees. A few years later they'll find that outsourcing is not worth it , and start hiring younger people again. That's a cheaper way to reduce healthcare and other costs that the employer has to pay for every employee
Asynchronous vs. Deferred JavaScript
I think your perspective is valid/reasonable for most of us. ...but as a CEO of any company I believe that it's necessary you to hold yourself to a MUCH higher standard. In that role you represent the interests of a lot of other people, you're entrusted with investor's money, your employee's livelihood and the welfare of their families/kids and in this situation your drivers/contractors and their livelihood and families. With so much at stake I think part of what you give up as CEO is the right to just speak your mind and have an argument like a normal person might. Right or wrong I think he needs to make sure if there is news about him or Uber that it's good news... that's a big part of the job of CEO and it's 24/7/365.
What functinal techniques did you use? Only higher order functions or did you go all the way to applicatives, monads (maybe even free) etc.?

No, most opioid pain treatments have far more severe side effects than pot, and they tend to have a high risk of serious addiction that limits their dosage.
It still is to some degree, even nowadays! Even in very closed platforms like Facebook.
A few reasons which may or may not apply to this situation. I don't agree with all of them, but they're worth a discussion I suppose.

* The "cheaper" country has fewer regulations. e.g. sweatshop labor that the local workforce can't compete with.

* The organization profits from the local community, its regulations, and populace but doesn't "give back" through jobs, etc.

* The notion of patriotism: as a community, we should put our interests first (and other countries will do the same). Obviously this is a waaaay bigger topic than can be addressed in a bullet point.
Vey interesting compilation; I really like it; Thank you;
Many years ago we had a Renault 4 hire care in Morocco and my wife was driving and she wasn't happy using that control so she got me, the passenger, to change gear.

She'd hit the clutch, shout the gear she wanted ("Second"), I'd change gear, she'd put the clutch in and on we'd go....

Since electricity isn't flammable, I'd like to see charging ports in the front center. That means a charger can be on either side, and a home charger might be located at the front of the garage so it can reach either car in a 2-car setup.
Even if WebAssembly had some API to access the DOM I have a feeling it would always be sort of the same thing as GWT - you can do stuff that touches the UI in it but probably isn't the best thing.
Well, all we hear about anymore is the great "shortage of tech workers", so this shouldn't be a huge problem. These folks will simply waltz into any number of area tech firms tomorrow and find jobs with all these companies "struggling to find talent", am I right?
Again, not an employee; in fact, the standing here is almost the opposite; it's Kalanick who has most of the obligation in this relationship. (I think we agree about the rest of this).

I keep bringing this up because it's crucial to Uber's business model and something that has been repeatedly disputed. Uber badly wants its drivers not to be employees but instead partners. Kalanick can't get huffy when his business partners have grievances for him.
Nintendo Switch review: pure potential
Demonstrably false, 4K 60fps gaming on max settings on most games (1080p@60fps is nothing on most high end GPUs) is still not really possible, and a 1080Ti probably won't achieve it either since the Titan X wasn't quite able to.

Also, VR gaming can never have enough GPU power, because supersampling increases the fidelity by a lot (first hand experience)
I would hate having to replace a rusty fuel filler neck that runs across the wrong side of the car and over the exhaust.

We should just go back to the 70s-era centre-mounted fillers behind the license plate holder. Those were great, until you got rear ended or it was frozen solid.
so - celery + spark ? or just Celery Canvas ? (http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/canvas.htm...)

P.S. I'm not trolling - I'm genuinely trying to get a sense of why and when would I use Airflow. Is it a point of scalability, of productivity , etc ?

For example - the positioning of spark is simple: scalability. Celery is also very clear: simplicity with good enough robustness if using the rabbitmq backend.

what does Airflow do differently ?

What a silly argument.
Marijuana, sooooo many funds last year had a great year because they piled into it.

A huge land grab is going on right now, with alot of consolidation taking place. Everyone wants to be the main supplier when Costco and Wallmart come knocking looking for weed vendors.
Yeah, the cost is crazy. This attack was extremely unfortunate in timing re: cost. I had signed up for better insurance in case I kept having stones, and this one happened the day before that insurance started. So I got a $5K bill, which would have been ~$0 24 hours later :(
You can't have a rollback button
I'll be very interested to see what happens if Uber does decide to go public.

Prior to recent events I'd have thought if they did go public they'd almost certainly follow the recent trend of setting up a class structure that gives little to no voting control to most common shareholders. Will they be able to get away with that if it means Travis retains control?
No, thanks for the rec!
The world would probably be a better place if people did care a little bit more about things in general.

Whether they do or don't, should or shouldn't, that's one pretty nasty way to say that people don't care about an issue.

(Yes, yes this directly feeds into the concept of what "virtue signalling" is. However, the relevant part is that I don't believe that direct insults of this type belong on HN.)
it usually means they're bored

Just curious, you have experience with knowingly running in a virtual universe?
I would say it can be used at it's simplest as a replacement for cron. It supports running programs on a schedule and you can set concurrency rules, SLAs, and triggers around even single commands or programs. You also get nice graphs of task run time and email alerts if jobs take longer than the SLA you've set.
Given the incredibly low toxicity of cannabis, "more cannabis" should be a working strategy here. 2x, 5x, 20x the dose until you get past the new threshold caused by NSAIDs?
Probably inaccessible to an outsider, but there is strategically a big push in the industry to automate liquidity and market making across derivatives and fixed income.

The goal is opex obviously.
Immoral is a difficult judgement to make. But it is asymmetrically advantageous to the business.

The business can go anywhere to look for employees, an employee can't move to SE Asia and work at Foxconn.

This is not outsourcing, its geographical arbitrage. Barriers to the current employees make this possible.
>I mean, blaming your purchase of an expensive car on Uber? Really? You're bankrupt because you put all your eggs in one basket buddy, not because Kalanick is an asshole.

I'm curious how many people here agree with this sentiment, but blame the banks and mortgage brokers for people losing their homes during the last crash.

Hey I'm experimenting with blender too,

Question: Ignoring sli, do you have different GTX versions plugged into your Motherboard for rendering? Like, 2 1060s and a 980Ti ?

Have you tried background task rendering via commandline, targeting the GPU as workers, but also using the CPU?

e.g. iF you have 2 graphics cards. Run 3 commandline blender render jobs (2GPU + 1 CPU).
> The article would better be titled, "How Les Misérables changed the world."

I don't think the article really answers that. It just posits that it did, and offers nothing to back that up.
You wrote that he was probably more ignorant than ill-intentioned. That implies good intentions or no intentions.

The intentional asshole makes good decisions for the company, think Bill Gates in the 90s. These days he's shown that that was business, now with the Foundation he's choosing to not be that guy. TK does not appear capable of a change like that.
Oh, in that case then the relevant metric is probably delta-v in which case the Moon is always a lot closer to Mars than th Earth is. See here:

SLI/CF is a huge hack - only allows true fullscreen, does weird tricks to render on both GPUs, occasionally gets glitchy results and far more crashes. You do not want to use SLI unless you have no other option.

4k@60 gaming on a single card is an excellent goal. I'm running a single 1080 for this purpose at the moment and on many games it struggles and I have to reduce options significantly.

The 1080Ti should be performant enough to run 4k@60FPS on most games on a single card. The 1080 was close, running ~45-50 FPS, but this should push it over that edge.

Then there are the people who want 4k@144 and stuff who'll be running 2 of these in no time and still not getting the numbers they want...

Hopefully within a few iterations 4k@60 will get down to an affordable level. I just really want to go back to buying $300-500 cards instead of $1k cards and this means we're on the way.
That there is no JS framework in "mature" after a decade or so of SPAs says a lot :-)

I wouldn't call Ember "challenged" though, since it's evolving constantly and adding features inspired by a lot of new tools.
But it does an explicit free operation, and no mention of preventing double-frees, which to me implies it's unsafe.
> if I do it like you describe, the company's velocity is halved.

Well, sure, half as much work means getting half as much done. That's why the pay is also half as much.

I don't disagree with any of the things you say here; there are some ways in which working part-time is less efficient than working full-time. I just think you overstated the case before.
Well, that's why I said "hardly" and not "not." :)
Is it? Why do people with headsets sound 10x better over Google Hangout than people using the integrated laptop microphone?
You have no right to sue. You certainly have a right to complain.

I've been in business for a long time. I've run into many vendors who didn't breach a contract or the law, but chose to do business in a way that impacted my business in a negative way. This has ranged from enterprise software vendors to janitorial services.

Ultimately, it hurt then in some way as we priced their bullshit into the next procurement cycle.

When a giant company pretends that some random afghani dude working as a contractor is a peer to any other vendor, that's either delusional thinking or a justification for bullying.

When The US referred to targeted assassination in Vietnam as "termination with prejudice", it didn't fool anyone.
Most recently UPS and LMT. For my homegrown quant strategy called Marmot I buy 25 stocks a year, 4% each. 2 stocks each month, 3 in January.

I have backtested returns of over 25% a year since 2001 so I'm confident I can beat the S&P over a 5 yr time horizon.

I would love to enter some sort of contest where I could compete against other amateur and pro investors. I would crush most of them in the long run. Know of anything?
It was pretty common in trucks of that era. My father who -owns a construction company - has owned several of these. Never had any external devices, just used it as a "range extender".

You literally just argued why it is demonstrably true. If a Titan X, Ti, or standard 1080 can get to 4K 60 on max then buying an Titan X or Ti is nothing more than bragging rights.

Nobody is arguing that the Ti isn't more powerful, just that that power likely doesn't buy you anything specific, all you've done is show how that is true.
Kalanick kept arguing that he didn't cut prices on Uber Black. That may be technically true, but overlooks nuance (probably intentionally). This is childish (and unclassy) because Kalanick is prioritizing winning an argument on technical merits over actually understanding the problems of his earliest adopters and closest partners, who have made big investments in his business.

Errr, the stress-energy tensor T^{\alpha\beta} is the matter tensor.

Did you mean the metric tensor g_{\mu\nu} or the Ricci curvature tensor R_{\mu\nu}?

"Gravitational field" is one of those shifty things in GR that makes one sympathetic to MTW's refusal to identify the term with any particular mathematical object.

You're right though; there are plenty of exact solutions to the Einstein Field Equation which are vacuum solutions -- no matter, just gravity.

Like you mentioned there are fundamental differences b/w a CEO who creates a culture where sexual harassment is OK to where a CEO will bully employees occasionally, steal their ideas as their own and park in the handicapped parking lot. I mean, both sound terrible, but the first one is definitely on a different level of nastiness.
The problem is that it is actually a "shortage of (cheap) tech workers". Quality is expensive, and companies don't want to pay for expensive american tech workers when they can cut costs by paying for cheap overseas tech workers.
You're asking an implicitly deontological question with an explicitly consequentialist answer. This kind of "outsourcing economy" has been tried, and we have observed mostly negative effects. It deskills the country which pays for the goods, creates trade imbalances that help to break down what's left of our international system, impoverishes the people who are disemployed, and exploits the people who are newly employed.

Worse, the gains-from-trade that economists say ought to occur are allocated entirely to the owners of firms and equities, rather than being redistributed to the former workers to help smooth out economic transitions.

>This weird entitlement around jobs in America is strange to me.

That's because America's not willing to spend any resources on retraining workers or redistributing wealth away from the owning class, so "jobs" are the one thing people absolutely need to stay alive.

I use Yeoman for scaffolding npm modules. It works fine. My friend made one for microservices (using Zeit's micro project) and it's also pretty good.

Really, Yeoman just automates setting up an node module/project and installing the stuff I always use (linter and test runner).

I wouldn't want to use Yeoman for a large frontend project though.
just want to point out: vast knowledge of telephony/VOIP is not something every sysadmin should be expected to know. If you don't have telephony expertise on staff I hesitate to suggest someone build out a VOIP infrastructure on their own. It can be extremely time consuming to learn and it is definitely painful to troubleshoot.

Here's my anecdata. It matches my experience trying to hire.

I went to tech meetup last week. about 100 people showed up. The company whose office it was in said before the night's presentation that they had about 30 jobs they were looking to fill and if you wanted one go talk to the guy in the back of the room. During the break before the second presentation they let anyone hiring get up and announce their job offers. There were around 70 jobs available over all. At that point the organizer had the bright idea to ask "who here is actually looking for a job?" Not a single person raised their hands
I think the problem here is this: "even if he knows he is right." Considering all we've learned recently how the hell could you ever make Travis Kalanick consider that he might be wrong?

Why Every Startup Really Needs a Marketing Strategy

Normally you expect someone in leadership to have gone past a teenager's mindset before they become the CEO of a company with thousands of employees and stakeholders who rely on them to make wise and good decisions on their behalf.

If he needs to grow up and he hasn't yet, then he should step down.
An important point, not well-covered. The employees worked for UCSF Medical Center, which is a corporation affiliated with UCSF. It's not actually a university- it's a hospital. There is a huge, weird overlap between UCSF and UCSF Health/Medical Center.

Also, UCSF Health is known for having merged with Stanford Health (they claimed both of them would go out of business if they didn't merge), laying off its entire staff, then rehiring them with a limited contract, and then un-merging: https://alumni.stanford.edu/get/page/magazine/article/?artic...

> What possible benefit to arguing about pricing with the passenger, regardless whether he's the CEO?

How about "getting that CEO so far into a corner, you can rate him one star, shame him publicly, and still get an apology"?

That driver, even though he didn't make the best possible argument for his position, has been tremendously influential.

And the position of "don't complain, you're free to leave" didn't even make sense in the 19th century when it was used against people complaining about child labor or fire safety.
