Making a joke at Alexa's expense is fun. Making it at your friend's (possibly huge) expense? Not fun.

I mean, what would 'nepthar do if for some reason the police actually showed up? Or if he/she found out later that their neighbour was denied boarding because TSA pulled some logs from somewhere? I mean, besides having a story to leak to papers, how would 'nepthar feel about getting their friend in life-threatening trouble?

As minuscule as the possibility is, the joke seems funny mostly because this possibility exists (or at least is perceived to exist). This all is akin to doing pranks to scare the shit out of random people. It all sounds funny until you realize that some of those people may have heart conditions and could get seriously harmed by such a pranks.
I am by no means an expert, but I always wonder why people don't adopt ASN.1 for serialization? I know it is not pretty but writing machine readable stuff never is.
Interesting how they didn't punish drivers who also drove for Lyft, they actually rewarded drivers who also drove for Lyft with better Uber offers.

There is a strong dichotomy in the minds of many american people, between large private companies and public offices.

This is an instance of it: Uber has shown in the past that they can wield considerable powers, and are prone to misuse it. Therefore, them collecting data about drivers, a population that is vulnerable towards Uber (and a subset of which we know is shared between the two platforms), is dangerous.

If you approach this dichotomy from the other side, can you imagine the NSA being described as doing no-brainer customer research ?

So to be clear, is it true to say that under no circumstances may a competitor access an API without it being unethical behavior? It seems like every business will have a ToS clause to cover that, so this is an interesting moral question.

Assuming it's unethical, if you were asked at your company to build a script that accesses a competitor's API, what should you do?

Isn't it difficult to claim in general that collecting data using a competitor's services is inherently unethical?
> Perhaps it offered those who wanted to go the opportunity to do so, rather than get fired.

...what? the opportunity?

In a normal company in most places in the developed world being laid off gives you a severance package, while resigning usually doesn't. Not that Canonical is a normal company by any means. The contracts are very bad, almost everyone is some sort of contractor (not an employee); these people most likely would not get anything anyway, just wanted to point out that resigning when you are about to be laid off is a stupid idea.

But that is not what has happened anyway, as the article claims people were axed, they didn't resign.

It's completely different, so far different as to be antonyms, opposites, completely diametrically opposed ends, because you just described a passive, orthogonal, ethical activity while Uber actively fooled with Lyft's systems to get the intel they wanted (emphasis mine):

> Hell originated after Uber created fake rider accounts on Lyft and used software to trick Lyft’s system into thinking those riders were in certain locations. This allowed Uber to see the eight closest available Lyft drivers to each fake rider.

You literally just typed the equivalent of "what's wrong with using an ad unit to deliver a zero day exploit? It's not much different from advertising."
It is more targeted towards people that know some JS but want to learn ES6 or are struggling with parts of ES6.

We started with thermite ingredients and plane to Syria, something clearly made to potentially trigger USGOV anti-terrorism surveillance. It won't be fun for anyone if somehow it actually works. It's a joke at someone else's low-probability but life-threatening expense.

It's like doing pranks to scare random strangers. All fun and games until you meet the one with a heart condition that gets triggered by your joke.

As a Sr. Full Stack Solutions Architect, whether you are faced with a brand new system with a full galaxy of choices to make about server stacks, front end frameworks and supporting tools, or you have to assess a project with 10 years of technical debt, connections to legacy systems and a nasty performance cliff that has to be solved, you have the chops to figure it out and help the team find a way to succeed.

A good Full Stack Solutions Architect will have had exposure to a broad variety of front end and back end frameworks and multiple software ecosystems and will be able to explain patiently to clients and prospects about where the source of their pain may originate: anything from the network, database, back end, middleware, API, or front end - to the human factors that influence an application’s success or failure. Whether you’re consulting across multiple projects and teams or rolling up your sleeves to dig into code on just one, your flexibility makes all the difference.

This depends why you want to rate limit. If its the classic case of stopping one customer consuming all resources because of an overenthusiastic script it's fine. If you're trying to avoid paying for lots of calls to an expensive API, or competitors scraping data, you want to reject the requests entirely rather than just delaying them.
It is not surprising if one follows their development, though. Neither Unity, nor mobile, nor Amazon integration was a move that anybody liked. And many of these were just announced to be dropped. That this strategical shift also means a shift in leadership is normal.

And honestly, I have to say: Finally! Nothing of these things were really doing any good to the community as a whole, and therefore also can't be in the long term financial interest of Canonical.

The only thing I wonder is if this Jane Silber, who I've never heard about before, is really responsible for all these failures or if she's just the goat that gets slaughtered for the oracle of public opinion.

That's most likely because the current nightly isn't build with https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/16198 yet.
If you're using a competitor's API in a way the API was intended to be used, it's probably OK, even if your motivation is to gain intelligence. But when you're breaking the ToS or otherwise doing things it wasn't intended to do, that's a problem.

Weddings are time sinks even small ones like mine, we viewed around 20 venues for example, multiple caterers etc. Anything you can do to save time is a good thing. Handwriting invitations, making 500 paper cranes by hand all are lovely gestures but we focussed on what was important to us - food! For example saved a bunch from ditching traditional wedding invites and table favors (we did have amazing flowers for the tables) that we could then reallocated to having the best food and wine for our guests.

Plus it may sound strange but we don't have all of our friends postal addresses noted down, so mailing out invites would have been even more cumbersome.

> watch out for dogmatic belief in science

"Dogmatic belief in science" is an oxymoron. Science is skepticism defined. Science doesn't rely on belief, it relies on evidence. Belief plays no part. In fact, the existence of belief is why science exists -- it's a tool to to overcome belief. If we were cured of belief, what we now call "science" would be called "thinking".

I hope you have a nice day.
Eridius answered the first part, so I'll tackle the second part. What you should do depends on many factors. First and foremost, is the access you are doing strictly forbidden? You'd be surprised how often it's not. Next you'd need to assess the intent of the access. Is it for a legitimate fair use reason (even if forbidden, aka it's a judgment call if you feel you could legitimately make a case it shouldn't be forbidden)? Ultimately the above two don't matter, it all comes down to a decision of "is keeping your job" more important than "doing what is ethical/legal/whatever"?
This was my same thought. I can't help but draw comparisons to Atlas Shrugged in this whole united incident.
It could still be quite buggy with Oculus and Vive hardware. They have only enabled WebVR in "Cardboard" mode on mobile which has a much smaller surface area.
If I were Lyft, I might try to detect what traffic is coming from suspect clients and present an inaccurate view to them to maximize inefficient spending on Uber's part. This seems like it should be easy to do without harming someone in case you inaccurately label someone as illegitimate.
Well if we're speculating, I'll speculate something else. Mark is shopping the company around, trying to find buyers. The buyers told him he needs to axe some projects and fire Jane. These things might not be related outside this context.

It even says in the other article that they are downsizing due to an "external analysis". External analysis happen when you are about to be bought.

Funny, but the lesson is never learnt until late in life.

To paraphrase Aristotle: "Only achieve that which is sufficient".

Ironic that Lua was designed to be as simple as possible and no simpler (was that Einstein?) and then it gets layered (laid, layed?) over ponderous systems that it really should be replacing.

And finally, complying with the rule of three and layering (pun) upon dijkstra's proposition: "layers should be considered evil".

Personally, in software, everything should be compiled to machine code if not already written in it, optimised to remove function calls and loops and at run time ensure that all data fetches control movements use the nearest memory.

>Hell originated after Uber created fake rider accounts on Lyft and used software to trick Lyft’s system into thinking those riders were in certain locations. This allowed Uber to see the eight closest available Lyft drivers to each fake rider.

This is not ethical.
It's not.
Very rough analogy: Whoever delivers your parcels can tell if you ordered parts to assemble a jumbo jet or a lawn mower just by looking at the quantity, size and sequence of parcels. Since it is known what kind of blueprints you have (the netflix library), it's not too hard to match the parcel sequence (or a part of it) to the order list of a known blueprint.
Why don't more people use telegram?
Telegram's users are mostly in Iran, Italy, Russia, Brazil, and the US. I'm not related to telegram team, but I have seen some very good features in their app (Channels, Encrypted Messaging, Groups, Bots, Voice call, themes, speed, regular updates, ...).

In my opinion it could replace twitter for news broadcasting, replace FB for making groups of friends and messaging them, etc.

Now the question is: why hasn't this app become more popular in Europe, Canada, the US, and the rest of the world? What's wrong with their business-plan/product?
Hmm, I see. Is it possible to think of a single example where you could use a competitor's API in a way they intend, but also at a scale large enough to be useful from an intelligence perspective?

If there isn't one, it seems like the argument again reduces down to "It's never okay for a competitor to use an API," which could be problematic.

You're reading into corporate speak too literally.

The only information in this article is that Jane is stepping down. Anything else is PR fluff.

I don't think it's that nefarious. She came from an enterprise background and was made CEO to emphasize the importance of enterprise sales to Ubuntu.

Shuttleworth says as much in this blog post from 2009:

"As a former VP at General Dynamics, Jane has more experience of large customers and large organisational leadership, which I see as essential for Canonical over the next five years. We are being welcomed as a partner and supplier to ever-larger businesses, and I want to make sure we are a robust answer to their needs."

What should they have done instead?
IANAL, but using Lyft's API to see pricing and availability (to model your pricing and/or where drivers are in abundance) seems at minimum in a grey area. Using it to de-anonymize drivers and try to poach them, feels like crossing the line to me.
Because it's basically a bunch of gimmicks. That refrigerator with the camera will get me to buy stuff I didn't need because I couldn't see behind the milk. That coffee machine will make me a cup even though I'm too hung over to drink it that morning.

There are lots of other things that have much higher chance of causing cancer. Almost everything is carcinogenic, so if you start living by that argument, Roundup is not high on the list at all.

For instance, drinking beer or wine. Alcohol is known to be carcinogenic for certain whereas with Roundup we're still talking about that tiny chance. There's always a tiny chance that a molecule from car exhaust or microparticle from a rail increases the risk of cancer, so will you say that the risk of being in a proximity of a car or a bus or a train isn't worth it?

It is important to be able to put things into context and assess the orders of magnitude. Things like beer are for certain a much bigger cancer risk than Roundup, not to mention tobacco. Still, there is much more talk about banning Roundup than beer.

But my exact point is I don't think you understand what they're getting at if you think the two views are incompatible. (Which you said you were pretty sure of, up thread.)

If you don't actually understand what they're getting at, you being pretty sure the views are incompatible results from misevaluating how well you understand what they're saying -- hence the discussion of why that communication is hard.

Which is why I asked you to elaborate on why you think the views are incompatible. Which you declined to do.

So I'm not really sure what else to say if you don't want to get in to specifics of how you interpreted the concept and why you think the two models are incompatible.
