I signed up long ago and forgot(used it indirectly thought it was cool and my best friend started driving as a 2nd job; also cool) about my account. One day that same Uber account is hacked and 1k is stolen from me.

Immediately I try to cancel my Uber account. Nope your locked in there is no cancel button. Have to wait days to cancel. Uber knows about this hack and their response is it's the customers fault for not using an uber strong password. Then my best friend leases a car from Uber and in the long run he finds out he has leased his car from what it feels like the mafia.. except it's the Uber mafia.

Burn Uber burn.. I will never use your filth again!
I don't agree with your targeted ads assessment. My targeted ads are so right it is downright spooky. I swear I have only THOUGHT about buying some obscure item and then boom there it is right there in a sidebar ad.

Honestly I don't even mind, I'd rather look at ads for things I want, rather than things I have no interest in.

Which has been a bad move in the desktop market. Who want's to pay for integrated graphics when they are just going to put one or more discreet GPUs in their system?

The only reason LGA 1151 has been so successful is that most of the market consists of "gamers" who are convinced that they need higher clock speed and IPC.

AM4 should only be compared to LGA 2011v3, which has a very inflated price.
The problem with 50% savings on transportation prices is that it might only be temporary. Uber might have a _worse_ business model than a traditional taxi company albeit with a better app. There's a pretty long series of articles about this, here's the first one if you're interested: http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2016/11/can-uber-ever-deliver...
None of the Google PR issues were result of a CEO straight up acting like you know what... So no comparison there.
Except I didn't dismiss the philosophical critiques of objectivism as an echo chamber. I critiqued them as lacking logic and understanding.

I said both sides are an echo chamber. I can sit here and give you my reasons, and then you can give me your reasons, and then I can say what problems I have with yours, and you can say your problem with mine. At the end of the day if we disagree then we're both just repeating our reasons and not convincing each other. An inconclusive echo chamber. Philosophy.

If you look up the word humble, it means having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance. I'm not arguing about my importance though am I? I'm arguing about an opinion on an independent issue I feel correct in, just like you. Only I'm using reason instead of insulting your character.
I'm not sure it's fair to compare the Brainstorm chip to the paper you linked to, since they take different inputs (binary vs. continuous) and they implement different systems (purely feed-forward vs. recurrent dynamic systems). But basically, the reason I would imagine why rates require more energy than spikes is just basic math. Given that power is the area under the curve, you can picture that intermittent spikes would consume less power than sending a continuous rate signal. There are other advantages to spikes vs. rates, such as robustness to noise/failure.

In table 4, I think they're comparing to GPU hardware, since that's what he was running everything on.

I think the current status of the hardware is prototypes are being produced. The most recent paper [1] used a circuit simulated in SPICE, so I'm guessing they're pretty close to production? I'm not sure, because:
a) I haven't heard anything from my lab-mates in a while.
b) Even if I did hear something from them, I'm not sure I'm allowed to talk about it. Hardware development is way more secretive than software development.

It seems that Google, rightfully in my opinion, wants Uber to burn as well.

Tcl is the little language that could :)

I always like seeing neat projects in Tcl. Perhaps it's because of the nostalgia of being 13 and hacking away at eggdrops?
I also find it incredibly useful! I don't follow the development on Phabricator but I read your posts every time they pop up on Twitter.
I'd never heard that phrase before.
I've never heard that saying before.
I bought an x230 from Lenovo's outlet about 2 years ago. i5 with 4gb of ram and a 500 gb sata drive. I threw in an m2 SSD and 16gb of ram and it's great. I'll eventually replace the 500 gb sata drive with an SSD but for now it's fine and the total cost was probably $600. Has to be close to half of that now.
So frat bros and their horrid behavior(they aren't in college) is the revolution?

I hope not.. that's not progress!!!
I don't believe it ever really happened like that. Yes, javascript gained in popularity but that's because you have to use it for the browser and the browser was and is a compelling platform. Google maps didn't run on javascript because it offered a "freedom and the ability" to create maps that other languages did not. In fact, recall Google created GWT over a decade ago. Companies have been struggling against the maintainability issues in JS and other languages the whole while.

C# and Java never went anywhere. Types never went anywhere; phpdoc, jsdoc, etc. Ruby best practices are becoming more "enterprise"; dynamic language abuses are being frowned on as communities have matured and projects have grown larger.

I'm sorry, but to me your interpretation seems overly romanticised; presenting some eternal struggle between two just-as-valid points of view. I just don't see it that way.
> Python still doesn't seem to have a great cross-platform desktop GUI, as far as I can find.

PyQt is literally the best cross-platform desktop GUI going, in any language.
Regardless of legality, or if the passenger's response was warranted or not, he should have apologised IMO. A paying passenger was unwillingly removed from a flight to make room for employees. I think most people in that situation would be rather angry with the company.
It seems to me that you have the causation backward.

Unions don't get established - especially in the last 20 years in the USA - unless working conditions and labor relations are already bad.

There are literally enough books and scholarship on this to fill libraries.
And 95% of the people here spend their days writing yet-another-CRUD-app. That doesn't mean you don't get invested.
That's unfortunate, thanks for the response.
Lack of IOMMU and no memory protection on the Wi-Fi IC was really awkward (but sorta expectable).

However, it's kinda shocking to me that they'd go to the trouble use a magic ethertype to tag internally-originating synthetic frames but completely neglect to strip out externally-originating frames with that magic ethertype.
Great, more clip art. /s
No, they didn't play us. They did exactly what they promised. Thanks to Uber, I don't get racially discriminated against on a daily basis. Before Uber I did.

Some folks may hate them because of Susan Fowler, but that doesn't change the fact that they've drastically improved the world for consumers.
I too remember only getting 2 months to use them- I signed up sometime Nov/Dec 2016. Guess they changed it fairly recently.
Yeah, I mean, saying its ill-informed (removing bandwagon) outrage is slightly better. Then we get at the real core of the argument - like, what do people feel others are ill-informed about?
Why is there no downvote on here
Fwiw, I don't think end-to-end encryption would be a great default for our product since it would handicap a bunch of features (like server-side search), but it could be an opt-in feature for specific notes. We do take security seriously and the plan is to do more in the future.
But the author says right there at the bottom, the problem isn't JS or web APIs, just that we don't need to be running a chrome underneath everything. They suggest React Native, I don't really know enough about it to judge, I've simply never been a fan of the resource toll electron apps have on my computers.

This guy [1] has written a neat post on generating option data from historic raw data. Would be quite interesting to compare the results on 1-minute data compared to raw prices. It seems OK for longer holding periods, where you'd mostly look to use options as directional leverage on underlying large caps.

...and you know what Flash did for the web when it came out?

Allowed us to watch videos, drag and drop, consume all kinds of media and have interactive applications on the web which were at the time totally unachievable with JavaScript.

Is the internet's memory so short that you've forgotten how recently we have largely switched to HTML5 video?
I grew up in silicon valley. My family worked in silicon valley since the military industrial complex days.

I barely ever left here because people come here instead.

And each day since, with the influx of people I've seen more nepotism, favoritism, racism, sexism in the valley.

I've used the internet since a 14.4bps modem and the connections made increases but that's turned into noise while the signals decreases.

I won a web design contest at 13 in whole other different country and I applied to YCombinator 6 times in a row since first read all of Paul Graham's essays in one sitting while hiding in a server room to avoid work and all I've ever thought was required is to avoid aging each year.

I dropped out of college when I can't bother to sit still while someone is explaining to me things that don't matter while all I wanted to do was write more HTML and put up more websites and making things that people wanted.

I've worked at big companies and small startups in all capacities but didn't get anywhere until learning to code myself during my nights and weekends off.

I lived in San Francisco during the boom, the crash, and the boom again.

And in the end all I want is to better organize, sort, filter, and amplify myself and people I care about with better technology.

From my perspective this is my life.

And I've only met a handful of people those espouse these things in the 20 plus years I've been here in the valley.

Where are the rest of you hiding?
>Your words are chosen so carefully

If they look carefully chosen it's because I'm trying to keep an objective perspective on this. Susan's account looks credible, and as far as I can tell Uber messed up, but how do you extrapolate that to a systemic problem?

This whole thing looks like a typical internet pile-up. Uber screwed up in a specific instance, and now everybody wants to take a free hit.

>I sure fucking hope that skews form the mean when it comes to harassment.

Well does it? Out of the countless shrill blog posts and news articles on this, did anybody investigate if this is really a systemic problem at Uber?
Thanks for posting this. I had not perused the forums. This definitely sheds more light on what I was originally asking than just reading the readme.
Kerberos + ssh is amazing. I don't know why more people aren't aware of this holy grail setup.
Until they stop being able to raise more to sustain it.
How AI Is Changing the Way Companies Are Organized
It is, in the short term. Then Uber beats out all competitors, then stops subsidising rides. Suddenly they won't look so good.

or, you know, a chrome app which works exactly like an electron app except they don't all require their own separate chrome instance. I mean an electron app is literally just a chrome app packaged with its own version of chrome.
Hello, I'm the guy behind Materia, A modern development environment to build web and mobile applications faster.

Key features of this release:

- Configurable and reusable backend components (e.g. for emailing / user management etc...).

- Permissions management

I would love to hear your feedbacks and answer your questions!
No worries, was mostly joking! I have a good friend at the SF office and hope to one day work with her again. That can only happen if your team opens some offices up here in the Emerald City :)
Thanks for the update, good to know!
Creating Testable, Modularized Chrome Extensions
Actually, I think it's very similar to Java in terms of what is being offered and at what layer of thought.

It does have a steep learning curve, but it's worth it. The number of concurrency bugs alone that I could have avoided if I had been able to use Rust years ago are sad to think about. Java has great concurrency tools, but doesn't do anything to make sure that your not shooting yourself in the foot.
FYI the browser I use does not download resources automatically. This way I just get the page with the content: the text of the article. That is all I want.

To read articles, which are just text, I access the web in VGA textmode with a text-only browser. I never see any ads.

There is no such thing as "load time" with this "UX". All pages load fast.

I do DNS lookups in bulk and store IPs before doing any HTTP requests, so I take time consumed by DNS out of the equation. I do not store IPs of ad servers, Facebook domains serving hidden beacon images and other nonsense. I never access these resources.

If I want to look at images or watch videos, I download them and use other programs running on other computers with graphics to view them. Those computers have no gateway to the internet.

For someone who likes to read, it all works very well. But if I was forced to use a "stock" browser of some organization's choosing (Google, MS, Apple, Mozilla, etc.), then perhaps I would have a very different "user experience" - heaps of ads. I suspect this is because those organizations place advertisers before users. If the ad sales business were to dry up it would be a disaster for some of those organizations.

Fortunately, I do not need those browsers to read the news.
I've just finished my first project using websockets. Coming from the embedded world and bare UARTs plus a little bit of C sockets, I found it hilarious that we've got so many layers to essentially do the same thing that I could do on an 8-bit microcontroller.

The critical difference? Speed of development. Websockets was so blindingly quick to get working. Haven't hit the edge cases yet though. If I were doing it with raw sockets I'd have to reimplement many of those layers and write a mobile app as opposed to a mobile webpage with only 300 lines of JS.

> Ever used HTTP for peer-to-peer communication?
Sort of. They're peers, but one always acts as the server, I just haven't needed to make them true peers, but I could if I needed to. One of the nodes connects to a public server and has other private nodes connect to it. (300 lines of Python/Twisted)
I Thought I Understood the American Right. Trump Proved Me Wrong
Uber is profitable in "some" of its top markets, i.e. "New York City, DC, San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles" [1]. Those are also markets with competition at both the national, e.g. Lyft, and local, e.g. Juno, Via, et cetera, scales.

No, because I'm bound by contract, cannot disclose my source, and I'm under NDA. That said, my comments are not unreasonabe or overly critical for C++11 or newer code. Quite honestly, if I desired to, there's more I could probably find issue with in even that small of a code sample.
Yet there's also been plenty of allegations of racism with Uber as well:

For Number 3:

Since two releases there is Javascript as an alternative AppleScript:
https://developer.apple.com/library/content/releasenotes/Int...

There is one gotcha - filtering of Applescript objects is not done natively but with a custom fluent interface and some query syntax but in its whole it's pretty much JS.
The TradeKing API has quotes, including options quotes. I think all you need is a TradeKing brokerage account and then you can get an API key.

The higher the number the bigger the vehicle and the more expensive....

That's how I think of it.
That's reeeeally not how critical discussions work, and I think I'm seeing the problem here.

You can find lots of critiques of objectivism based on some inconsistency in its flaws or premises; what you can't find much of is objectivists addressing or resolving those critiques. You can only find them dismissing them ("lacking logic and understanding"), as you've done.

Where adherents of some mainstream philosophy are faced with critiques, they usually try to resolve them to strengthen the philosophy or, if it can't be resolved, discard the philosophy. You just don't really see that happening with objectivism. There's no "echo chamber" here, mainstream philosophy evaluated your stuff long ago and moved on.

As for taking a lack of humility as an insult, why on earth would that be an insult or bother you? You're right, aren't you? Objectivism is the best philosophy, isn't it? Why would you need to be humble?
Using human brain activity to guide machine learning
Well said.

But, given the choice, I would rather remove my 2-3% of emissions by cutting meat consumption by 90% and/or driving.

Your original post was just yelling at people to stop flying, as if there were no other ways to alter a personal consumption pattern. That's what people took issue with.
GBoard does that too.
In a similar situation, if someone is pointing at you with a gun in a dark alley and ask nicely for you wallet, then the more sensible reaction is to give your wallet.

Sometimes it's not the same sensible, legal and right.
>If you're a programmer, and you don't know C, you're not good at your craft.

Even as someone myself who knows (more or less) C, this is quite an elitist statement, and doesn't do justice to say, Lisp and people who use functional languages. The goal of programming isn't necessarily efficiency.
It's not that they are native languages. They are languages with no overhead, GC is no longer necessary for example.
Precompiled headers never worked well due to a variety of limitations.

C++ modules, on the other hand, will be like precompiled headers done right. If they ever get standardized. They didn't make it into C++17, and the prototype implementations in Clang and MSVC are incompatible with each other, but I guess it'll happen someday…
I swear that I remember having programs that could behave differently in the bytecode and native compiler. Perhaps I'm remembering an older version of the compiler or another order-of-evaluation issue other than function parameters?
This is a great idea. Maybe I'll create a slack for everyone who applies.
You can also use symbol=CMG170915P00580000 to get a specific strike and save a lot of bandwidth, unless you happen to need the entire series or all series/expirations

> Slack has a much higher barrier to entry than IRC and most people using it are private companies.

Only if you're a nerd. Took me 5 minutes to get started with Slack for our company and managing it is a piece of cake.

Mind you, I haven't used IRC for a decade, maybe it's become a whole lot easier since then...
I like and have used them both, but for me there's two points that are massively in favour of TypeScript. The first, is that TS is written in TS, rather than OCaml. The second, is that Microsoft has a long history of developing and more importantly supporting dev tools, and is working on TypeScript for TypeScript's sake. Facebook is (and they're open about this) mainly concerned with Facebook's use-cases, and this drives their OSS products such as React(-native) and Flow.
> Here in medical school, it's literally temporally impossible to copy your notes and actually get to all the material.

I second this. My med school strat is as follows: I write questions in Workflowy during lecture based on what I think could be tested from the lecture. Then I import them into a SRS app I built and drill them all the week before exams. Works pretty well.
He should apologise for thwarting someone's travel plans, that's true. It happens - aviation is complicated, sometimes planes are overbooked, sometimes not all seats are available. Then passengers are IDB and get the legal compensation (and frequently more). And the CEO's initial (and much ridiculed) reference to re-accommodation was an apology for that, wasn't it?

The fact that the passenger had to be dragged out was due to the passenger, though.
Why not both? Something like DFeed[1] which is used as the D programming language's forum[2].

They don't. Java apps have been cross platform since their inception, .net is extremely close to being just as versatile, x11 is available on mac and pc, and python will run on literally anything. There's a pile of cross-platform options out there for you. What electron does is reduce the barrier to designing UIs, since you can do it all in html and javascript and its just as easy as hiring the guys who did your website to design. Because the one thing all those platforms have in common? Aside from .net (which isn't mature), they all have absolutely hideous windowing systems. Just ugly.
