I believe that the major pitfall here is that the feedback you've received is mostly about the changes that people want to see. However if we consider the number of people who want Gnome vs the number of those who want Unity 8 vs the number of conservative users who like Unity 7 as it is now - the results might be different.

I personally am very happy with the current Unity. I find it intuitive and more aesthetically pleasant/polished than Gnome Shell (I've only used that as it comes with Ubuntu Gnome).

So please, don't drop current Unity. Or if you have to switch to Gnome Shell - please keep the user experience as close as possible to the current Unity to help users migrate.

I dare to agree. The site is basically unreadable on mobile which is frustrating as the topic is really interesting.
How much of that work would fall on the shoulders of Adobe, rather than Canonical?
Okay, but what I'm curious about is what more narrow definition would exclude it. I'm wondering if it's something I haven't thought of, or whether you're underestimating them. For example, there are Chromebooks that can run most win32 programs.
I think this is one of the long term problems that San Francisco has. It is too dense to comfortably drive, but without the privately subsidized ride sharing system, it doesn't have a transit system that makes it comfortable to be without a car.

If uber figures it out, then everything is fine. The problem is that nobody knows if an unsubsidized system can provide acceptable wait times in a place like San Francisco.

People talk like it is a super dense city, but it is really more of an in between, and without the privately subsidized ride sharing, it is in an awkward place.
Thanks for asking this. I often read articles saying such things but do not provide any data or how they came to the conclusion. It makes absolutely no sense to say this without the data to back it up.
I know many people who wouldn't consider themselves "drunk drivers" because they have a high tolerance for alcohol and are still fine after 3 drinks. I think this is probably true for a lot of people, especially in rural areas.

I have no idea what's true in this, but I've heard exactly the opposite economic theories about WWII as it pertains to the US.

I.e. that untold amounts of capital was spent on making equipment that was just sent overseas to get blown up, if the US wasn't in the war it's not like it wouldn't have had a giant export market, and all that workforce could still be mobilized to manufacture goods, except some of the working-age people wouldn't have been sent overseas to die & get maimed.
>How is it a taboo? I notice that in almost every US TV show I watch, people drink and drive.

It's also quite common to see fictional murders on television but that doesn't make it any less taboo.
I would consider contract jobs only because of more pay. But the lack of stability is a concern.

Profit sharing with contractors because... imagine Uber where drivers are poorly paid contractors while Uber reaps silly amounts of profits.

I fully understand that people can dictate what price they want. But that doesn't make that price fair, does it? Show a reason that $2M is necessitated instead of... say... $250K base salary and bonuses "up to" $2M based on performance. So if the company hires you and you don't bring profits (remember, profits are shared now) in line with whatever's necessary to pay you that $2M, then are you really worth your $2M asking price?

I said in my post: "influenced the design of several modern “NewSQL” systems" --- I'm not aware of other production implementations of Calvin. But VoltDB's command logging feature came directly from Calvin. So basically I had in mind FaunaDB and VoltDB when I wrote that sentence. Neither is an exact version of Calvin, but FaunaDB is closer to Calvin than VoltDB. Obviously, the Calvin paper has been cited many hundreds of times, so many of its ideas have made it into other systems as well.
Uber seems to be in 581 cities [1] while Lyft in 200 [2]. So this is 3x difference.

However, Uber is more global, therefore has much more large cities around the globe. It wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that on average cities are 2-3x larger.

This alone could justify valuation gap. I would also assume that because of global presence, Uber has higher usage due to travellers.

> but I believe thinking critically is important

I think you have to differentiate between thinking and communicating. Thinking comes first, unhindered by concerns for social niceties and hurt feelings.

Then, you communicate by expressing what you've concluded in a way that does account for the fact that you're conveying a message to a human being, with all the baggage that entails.
This is an exploit within the wifi driver? So on iOs this would be a kext, and Apple controls all of that, so they can update and resign the kext and issue it in an update.

Whereas Google can't do that; it'd be up to the handset manufacturer.

Is this an example of the problem Google faces using the Linux kernel in Android? It cedes the kernel to the manufacturer, and wifi (and bluetooth etc) drivers are all kernel space, not user space. So Google can't really do anything here can they?
>US not entering WW1 means the war would have ended anyways in a year or two

That is a fact. US contribution in WW1 was, while very much appreciated, extremely minimal and did not affect the balance of forces that much.

The rest is up to debate.
Animation software works just fine on geforces (no-one uses AMD for professional work) - you don't need fp64 for anything. Rendering for film is 99.9% CPU-based, and even if that weren't true, all the GPU renderers on the market don't make use of fp64 anyway.

The only reason to use workstation class cards is because the software is certified to run on them (I.e. You won't get support from AD if you use a GeForce instead of a quadro). The only real reason used to be memory but with 11GB in a 1080ti even that's less true these days.

So, I'm not sure if it was the earlier article about this, or another documentary I saw, but I think it's been established that even as different languages have different "speeds" in terms of syllables uttered, the rate of communicated meaning is roughly the same across modern languages.

I wonder if that would hold up with this language as well - if it is so concise and precise, would it just mean that people take a while to speak it, and take a while to understand it after hearing it, before responding? Or is it possible that it's more Neo-in-the-matrix like where we'd immediately understand some complex idea right when it is uttered? I believe the former would be more likely but have no idea.

Its another step to try an unify building apps, and web apps with the same code.
Instead of adopting Gnome3, they should adopt KDE. It's far more customizable (so "Easily customize, relocate the Unity launcher (53 weight)" would be already done) and much better architected than Gnome. And for people lamenting the loss of Unity, it wouldn't be that hard to make a custom theme for KDE which largely replicates the look-n-feel of Unity. Gnome simply is not set up to allow any kind of customization, and the devs actively discourage it. The opposite is true for KDE, and a distro that wants to stand out with its UI would be better served with a DE that allows them the freedom of customization.

Libertarians take vague/basic stuff, rephrase them and act as if they just uncovered Gods truth itself. Yes, commerce/market has good stuff, but capitalism isn't the sole owner of commerce and markets, not the inventor, nor anything of it. The Ottomans(islamic golden age etc) had them, but they also redistributed resources to the needy and condemned usury, and so, most past societies also had markets and commerce, and also, no one has ever rallied against "freedom", those 'argument' mean little. The text reads like it could have been written by any teenager who uncritically took all propaganda from facebook and is enamored with an ideology. Plus, he makes it sound like these sort of liberalism and theory is just injustly shunned for no reason(or maybe no other than "all academics are secretly communists"?)

The point where left vs right were == USA pre-90s model vs soviet model should be considered anachronic by now, as most leftists, and even china, are not for central planning as a rule, and neither is USA capitalism as defensible now. This is a perfect example of false dichotomy(probably one of the most abused nowadays, because its necessary to do so to sustain a certain narrative).

Libertarians(which are called liberals everywhere else on the world, with libertarian meaning non-authoritarian leftist) defend private property and so they are completely for states, police and prisons by consequence. And if you take the theories as nature's truth and apply it leaving out politics you end up with dictatorships like Pinochet's Chile, where only the kernell of state violence remains because it is necessary to keep a system which is not able to satisfy humans needs of survivorship and self-determination(aka freedom).

I do plan to take a closer look at Hayek as this one seems like one who was actually interested in science, philosophy, and truth and seems to be an honest free thinker and not as much an ideologue, Nassim Taleb praises him, it seems the reason he's not taken so seriously in Academy is actually because his ideas refused to 'solidify' and provide hard models which would be seem as "more sciency"(I could be wrong, but seems it's one of the points Nassim makes, that a Science with uncertainty at it's core is better than one that tries to cargo-cult its way through).... But damn the undead arguments and mythologizing of 'market is god and good and pure freedom for all all in itself' must die already, lets live in the real world, shall we?

Edit: some spelling
And to add insult to injury, for some reason Reader Mode in Safari doesn't appear to work on this site either (MacOS).
Yeah, no.

You can't expose generalized query functionality without either encoding the security constraints in the datastore query layer (which is really, really hard, we are talking column-level security constraints and worse) or limiting the expressiveness of your query layer.

That's the trade off and, in most real world systems, the data stores are wide open to the developer because expressivity wins. Yes, the technology is there to secure databases at the row level, for example, but people don't use it. They just use a user/pass with total access.

A lot of folks are tossing HTTP endpoints on data stores without thinking through the security/expressiveness tradeoff.

Practitioners have been doing this for vision, and transfer learning is not very popular in language. This work is the first that I have heard of that uses transfer learning for language.
> You probably already have a separate system that is regionally and logically separated from your application to control access to company resources.

The separate system your company's employees are tracked is is also likely not integrated with your app database's auth system. I kind of doubt that the various Postgres/MySQL/Whatever databases at Google have accounts in them for all of Google's employees who might need access. Instead they build more tooling on top of the same accounts the app uses to access the DB. Or maybe they create JIT accounts for admin functionality. As it stands today, though, most places don't use the DB auth at all really.

> But that implies that if I were an employee of Google, I should have a specially flagged Google account.

No. You have two accounts if you work at Google. Your personal account is not your corp account. That doesn't mean your corp account doesn't exist in the same systems as your personal account, though.

> And already, that sounds more complicated than just keeping your application accounts distinct and completely separate from your organizations accounts.

Maintaining two entirely separate auth systems does not sound less complicated to me.
Every country thinks that the "market doesn't know best" up to some point. It is that (non-binary) point that should be argued about, not wether that thinking happens or not.

If I got your message correctly, you grew up in a communist country. Yes, those are horrible. But unregulated capitalism isn't any good either.
I think not much of a stretch. All nations involved were having problems with mutiny and political turmoil by early 1917. The example of Russia coming apart and being taken over by Bolsheviks was there, and the winter of 1917 plus the Spanish Flu of 1918 made it rather unlikely there would have been a continuation of war in 1919. But, without the American involvement, the French and UK would not have been able to impose reparations, etc.

That WWI and it's peace settlement were a major contributing factor to WWII seems pretty clearly established as well.

Check out this series of articles from 2016 by Carl Zimmer [1]. He gets his genome sequenced by Illumina ($3100) and joins a medical study so that they'll give him the raw data. He gets the 70GB "BAM file" (Binary Alignment/Map) and passes it around to experts and they dig into it. Multiple weeks of computer time plus expert analysis---this is not a simple thing yet.

My understanding, based on other comments here, is that Uber recently changed its pricing model so that riders get a fixed price, but drivers still get a range based on distance and time. Obviously the rider's fixed price needs to have some cushion in it. It's a change, and recruiting material may need to be changed if it wasn't already, but it's hardly a scandal. Also, the % could remain the same if Uber is still paying that % in aggregate.
Your complaint is that SQL databases aren't message brokers? SQL servers have been abused as message brokers for decades. It's not the use case they're designed for, and while a plugin that integrates this type of functionality into PgSQL would be interesting, there's no reason to expect them to assume that problem space.

If you want the database to handle the incoming message streams, then set your consumers to call a stored procedure. That should alleviate your concern with conflicting data models.

There's not a lot of details in the story.

If the driver's payment is supposed to be based on the fare and Uber is misrepresenting the amount of the fare collected from the passenger, that's a problem.

Conversations keeps open a TCP connection and the server pushes new messages. The only kind of polling is a ping to keep the connection alive which can be scaled based on how often it proves to be necessary on that connection. It works the same way as GCM. GCM isn't inherently more efficient than an app doing it, but with GCM it's one connection across all apps using it for push vs. each app doing it on their own. Conversations is also one of the few doing it very well without GCM. Most have a much lazier implementation of push or worse they don't do push at all and really do poll.

This seems like a tricky case because if the users and drivers are being completely rational, it's not clear that Uber's deception should have affected their behavior. Sure, the drivers expected to make X% of fares, but realistically they probably estimated what that would come out to be not from looking at customer fare data (in which case the deception would have materially harmed them) but rather by tracking what they or other drivers were actually getting paid.

Still, if the allegations are true, a culture where it is fine to engage in such active deception is not a good sign.
I don't see the scandal.

1) Uber's upfront estimate is based on a naive calculation of getting from A -> B. From a software perspective, that makes sense. The consumer hasn't even committed to riding, so let's just toss out a ballpark figure.

2) If the consumer looks at the figure and says, "Yes, that's reasonable for transportation from A -> B", which they indicate by clicking "Request Ride", then they are agreeing to pay that price for the service.

3) The rider can verbally request a different route once in the Uber.

4) The driver is paid based on minutes and miles, via some formula that they've agreed to. The rider is charged based on an up-front calculation, which they can decide if it is worth it or not.

It sounds like the lawsuit is alleging that the rider is being defrauded by being taken on a different route than the one displayed at time of purchase.

I think this is silly because, to my knowledge, everyone taking an Uber is paying for the transportation and not any particular route. I.e. being taken on a specific route isn't what the rider is agreeing to pay for. Also, as noted in (3), the rider is always free to change the route.

Additionally silly because the rider seems to be alleging that they were defrauded by being taken by a more efficient route. There just doesn't seem to be any "harm" in what's happening here. I can understand the case if the user agreed to go from San Francisco down to San Jose, based on a route straight down the 101 highway, then, once they got in, was driven to San Jose through Los Angeles.
