That's an experience that isn't really unique to United though, the major carriers all have nearly the same legroom (+/- 1").

As a 6'1" passenger, I can tell you that your claim that you "couldn't sit" while the passenger in front of you was fully reclined is a gross exaggeration. Sure, I empathize with you that it was uncomfortable, and rest assured, you were paying an extremely bargained price for your airfare.

Basic economics also comes into play here: There are Economy Plus seats if you want a more luxurious amount of legroom.

To add to that, flying without the passengers who didn't show is cheaper. Every extra kg is a cost in fuel, so passengers not showing up is already a net saving.

That said, I do see the appeal of allowing flexibility in tickets, allowing someone who's missed their flight to catch the next, with no/minimal additional cost. And I recognise that might need practices such as overbooking to accommodate.

Overbooking's been happening for years, on almost all of the airlines. Individuals do inevitably get caught up in, get annoyed/compensated for getting booted from their flight, but for the most part it works.

It breaks down in this extreme situation, where someone literally got beat up in order to ease logistics for an airline.
It's one of the misunderstood pieces of scrum to think that burndown charts should be linear. If a team of 5 has established a velocity of 65 story points / 2-week sprint, and they accept 5, 13-point tasks for the next sprint, you'd expect a burndown chart that would look almost horizontal for the entire sprint until the very end, when it would drop vertically to the x axis. You might get linearity if there were 65, 1-point tasks...

If anything, I think these announcements are also meant to keep stock price high.
Looks impressive!

How big was the team? How long did it take to complete this project? Is the code going to be open sourced?
I don't get the hate for overbooking. If you know 3% of passengers won't show up for whatever reason -- they're late, missed connections, cancelled plans -- it makes sense to sell 103% of capacity and give everybody 3% cheaper fares. This is a good idea. They only thing we need to do is regulate overbooking to make sure that when this probabilistic premise fails, customers are treated fairly and respectfully.

I'm sure if United had offered $2000 for someone to take a different flight, they'd have found takers. The mistake here is poor management of the situation from united and Chicago PD, not overbooking.

They could also have just paid for those employees to take a competitors airline if it was vital for them to be there immediately despite their poor planning.

I recently went through a lot of issues with macOS and FreeNAS. For SMB shares you can get pretty perfect support by ensuring the share level option called 'VFS Objects' has catia, fruit, aio_pthread and streams_xattr.

One option is to add prettier as a precommit hook, eg; https://github.com/prettier/prettier#pre-commit-hook-for-cha... which doesn't require editor integrations at all.

There are integrations for most editors (Atoms, Emacs, Vim, Neovim, VSCode, VS, Sublime Text, JetBrains):

https://github.com/prettier/prettier#editor-integration
One should also note as far as their enterprise product, TrueNAS, is concerned, there was never an upgrade to "Corral" pushed in the first place since it lags behind FreeNAS releases to ensure everything works correctly and any gotchas have been ironed out.

I understand ixSystems also sells the FreeNAS Mini, which is target at home users and small business - but anyone who uses any network storage product for production or mission critical use should be wary of any upgrades coming from the software vendor without thorough testing. I stayed far away from Corrall on my FreeNAS server at home explicitly because so much of the UI and underlying infrastructure was changed, didn't seem reasonable to upgrade without letting people braver than I am test (plus, I rely on iSCSI support for my VM's - that was missing).

The current process on most sales teams is managers listening to 2 or 3 call recordings per rep per week (out of hundreds) and basing feedback on that, so having data across dozens and hundreds of calls is a huge win for them. We can transcribe every agent call, but typically don't have to. It's a combination of both ML and human QA'ing when necessary.

> But government police forces are all working for the same people.

Not really.

In Arkansas, the county sheriff is elected - as is the Justice of the Peace, who has limited police powers as well. There are also state police, municipal police, and various state and federal agencies with law enforcement powers. Each of these groups work for different entities, some of which are mutually exclusive.

> These religion-based police forces are definitely not.

A police force operated by a church is no more "religion-based" than the Securitas guy standing outside the grocery store is "retail-based".

Legality should be boolean - either you're following the law or you're not. If guilty, however, the penalty should be proportionate to the harm done.

In this particular case, Uber is guilty of breaching Lyft ToS's clause around no data mining. However, this seems like an insignificant infraction, there is likely to be zero legal penalty. Lyft's only recourse is to either shut down Uber's accounts or feed them bogus data.

You really need to put better guidelines as to what counts as "incivility", cause it really seems like you just make it up as you go. I've read the guidelines; and they are very unclear about what counts as "incivility". Someone above is making very civil arguments against piracy, and yet they're still getting rate limited, implying that they're commenting against the guidelines. I'm not complaining that they're downvoted; I'm complaining that they appear to be punished for doing what you say you want people to do.

As for this specific case, that's what the content of the article posted contained. If what this poster said was incivil, then the entire article shouldn't have been allowed.

I agree, but if you do fail it means you are doing something right. In most cases I think YAGNI suffices for how much engineering to do.
Could not have said it any better. Embedded development is dominated by hardware engineers who make decisions very often without the software development teams input, placing embedded folk square in the target of management angst as well. Choosing Broadcom chips without drivers, 3rd party experimental hardware who wont release data sheets, choosing USB chips that don't support host mode, miswired memory interfaces that mismap fpga access, FPGAs that cause spurious bugs when consuming more power than necessary in certain modes, all lay squarely on the embedded devs shoulders and can manifest at first looking like pure software problems with the schedule pressing. Not a pretty world.

RhodeCode 4.7.0 Release: Git LFS v2.0 Support, Jupyter Notebooks Rendering
Being both European and an artist I like the moral rights doctrine a lot, but I don't think it would hold any water here as Di Modica is attempting to extend his claim of authorship to the space around the Charging Bull, and essentially demanding that his art should enjoy the privilege of being viewed in isolation, ironically redolent of capitalism itself.

The boundary of a work is very important artistically, and there are all sorts of explicit and implicit conceptual assertions made by how it shapes the rest of the work. Di Modica chose not create an explicit border around the statue, not least because to do so might have changed its meaning - a ring, for example, would suggest that the bull should be confined, where his intention was to celebrate its vitality and strength. Where, then, is the boundary of a sculpture? At what point does something impinge upon it?

I suggest that the fair boundary of a free-standing sculpture is that distance from it which allows a human viewer to apprehend the work as a whole. The point of an art work is to create a unique sense impression in a person who encounters it, and size is a quality independent of individual sensory channels, but measured in relation to ourselves. In this case I feel that the distance around Charging Bull from which people can view the whole thing in unimpaired in any significant way.

People who feel the space around the sculpture has become a part of the work are equating the semantic content that the work presents with the work itself. The sense of power and motion in Di Modica's sculpture touches our instincts about how much space to give it. But those distances are personal, and exist in our psychic space rather than in real space. In real space, the only kind of distance over which one can speak of damaging an art work is by impairing the ability to view it in full. How people feel about Charging Bull is a personal matter, but it's misleading to conflate the experience of contemplating it from a given spatial point with the content of the work itself. We have become used to thinking of the sculpture as dominating the space around it, but the space is no more part of the work than the Louvre is part of the Mona Lisa.
I would like to see a UPS-Walmart or FedEx-Costco merger. And the reason I'd like to see that is to restore some competitive balance to the retail marketplace. I say this as a frequent Amazon customer, concerned about the long term.
Right, and that's how I would respond as a CEO. What choice does he have? Let Snapchat grow and Facebook and Instagram failing to attract younger users?

But back to my point. Even Google couldn't win Facebook with all that cash flow. But is size the real reason? No. It's the execution that matters. The thing I hear a lot about Google is that there could be multiple version of the same "product" competing for final launch, Google+ was like that. In the end I feel that's a bit of a hackathon-ish competition. Lots of defects, unclear product vision and perhaps low morale.

Anyway, small company can still win. There are many examples of that out there.
I can vouch for Paul E. McKenny's book.

A few things off the top of my head:

Sworn law enforcement can detain someone in more cases than a private citizen may, up to and including using lethal force to do so.

Assaulting a sworn officer is a lot more serious than assaulting a security guard.

A sworn officer may carry a firearm under federal law in many instances where no one else has the ability to legally do so.

Sure in a perfect scenario with a well behaving load test client. In production you often encounter scenarios which place unexpected load on your servers.
The main website is OK as is i.reddit.com but their mobile client is hilariously bad in a "I can't believe they thought this was ready" way, it takes an age to load, it stalls out all the time, the tap targets are too small, it has the classic "oh you hit this when you meant that and then clicked that, lets spin the wheel on where you really end up" problem that slow mobile apps have.

I know they deal with insane scale yadayada but it's simply not ready.

That and the horrific dark pattern on the "We want you to have the best, massive red/orange button marked continue that takes you to the app store and the tiny weeny little "continue to mobile site" underneath".

We're talking about ~0.1% to 1% probabilities here of overbooked flights. (EDIT: Apparently we're talking even smaller: 0.01% to 0.1% probabilities... actually)

That's not every flight. Small enough that its too small for anecdotal evidence to be useful, big enough that it causes media stories. Every airline has some degree of overbooking necessary because flights get delayed, connecting flights lose passengers, and sometimes people just simply don't show up.

Especially in large airports (ie: Chicago's) where the airport is basically a hub for other airports to go to.

-------

United Airlines is solidly average on overbooking: https://www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.gov/files/docs/reso...

At 0.4 passengers per 10,000 bumped, United Airlines is actually a lot better than Jetblue or Southwest.

See page 33.
I'm not sure those kind of mergers would really restore competitive balance.

Every company I've ever seen, including the best ones has made at least one mistake of that calibre (or much, much worse) in their history. In most cases you never heard about it because it happened early enough that hardly anybody noticed.

> Do you think it's OK for violating the T&Cs of an app to be illegal?

Yes, T&C are the legal terms and conditions under which you have permission to use an app; violating them ought, geenrally, to be illegal, provided they are valid in form and process.

> Isn't that the same as using the F word on a forum when you agreed not to?

Yes, breaking that agreement could also be illegal. Why is that relevant?

> Didn't we go through all this with Aaron Swartz and one or two other high profile hackers?

Whether a thing should be illegal is a broader question than whether it should be criminal, which is a broader question than whether it should be covered under a particular criminal statute with particular penalties or pursued in a particular manner by prosecutors.
