I don't know. From the earlier article:

"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."

That's probably going to cost them one way or the other. That's actively interfering with both Lyft and the driver.

IANAL, but that sounds a lot like "tortious interference" and maybe more.
I suppose, just the matter of preference. Personally, the startup option seems to be more appealing to me.
Tencent has recently invested $1.7 billion to become one of Tesla’s largest shareholders. They invest on Didi, who is the largest car sharing service in China, and on WeChat, that is one of the most used money transfer plataform in Asia. And they are investing Big in AI.

tencent may lead the electric car revolution.
Maybe Uber should stop doing negative things then.

Just do the math. You get about 13a tops on a 115v plug before any household circuit will trip. That is over twice that. Same with those '5hp' power tools.
And I can support corporate tax cuts on the idea of helping small/medium businesses because it does just leave them with more money.

Great post. If only such logical formalities were applied to law enforcement and the courts, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Cops routinely exceed their authority and misrepresent the law. I can only provide you hundreds of examples and case studies to substantiate that this group of people routinely act irrationally. Or as I would say, illegally.
It's interesting that an alternative machine called JUISIR on Kickstarter/Indiegogo also uses a full surface press instead of rollers. (If multiple teams are avoiding rollers, there may be some non-obvious disadvantage with that configuration.)

Scroll down half way to see the gif animation of the mechanism: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1793272089/juisir-juici...

It would be interesting to see if their engineering choices resulted in a much less expensive machine to manufacturer.

I can see how it comes across that way but I'm fascinated that OP does not kill flies, I was genuinely curious if it extended to farm animals too. I would have bet they are vegetarian.

The question is worth considering, I wrote up a detailed answer on why I don't care about insects in a sibling thread.

EDIT: I'm not well placed to argue from hypocrisy, I'm like 90% vegetarian but I still eat meat. Meateaters love taking me down a notch for that one time per week or whatever I eat meat.
Is it theoretically impossible to fit an interpreter for a dynamic programming language in the L1 cache of a modern chip?

Nicotine is a pretty awesome drug; shame about its effects on the vascular system. If you are working on things more serious than getting a stroke in your 50s/60s (e.g. schizophrenia, serious depression, fighting an existential war) it's a worthwhile and valuable drug to take.

I've long been fascinated that world war II was fought with all sides essentially powered by nicotine and caffeine. It sounds like a joke, but I don't intend it that way. Some pretty incredible efforts and results were obtained. Although I don't use any supplemental drugs myself, I have used both of these two in the past and remain a fan.

(IIRC the heart disease that results from smoking is believed to be a side effect of the CO, while the stiffening of the vessels is side effect of the insecticide nicotine).

Sounds like you're not letting inconvenient facts get in the way of your opinions. Here's what the article says:

> In the open letter, the owner says that she suffered a broken nose and a severe cut to her lower lip that needed a dozen stitches, but the driver got the worst of it. She wrote that “he was hospitalized for more than 40 days with internal injuries and fractures”.

> Beyond the physical injuries, she added: “it brought us more serious mental harm, after the accident and still today, I often have nightmares about being burned to death inside the Tesla Model X.

> It’s apparently what led her to ask Tesla for 8 million Chinese yuan (~$1 million) in compensation, which Tesla China is refusing to pay, but they are still investigating the accident and collaborating with the local authorities

No mention of smoke inhalation, even though it documents the other injuries, and it explicitly mentions the mental harm angle, which is the only possible way to try and pin any of this on Tesla.

Also, the car caught on fire after they got out. It wasn't on fire while they were still in the seat. So the whole "smoke inhalation" bit has no basis in reality.

I should clarify, I wrote that comment with a fair amount of tongue in cheek.

However, I do want to make it clear that if you draw your concealed firearm, you do it with the intent to use it, not to brandish it as a form of deterrence. If there is any option on the table to avoid drawing, then you leave it in the holster.
You think the same about United and now American? Perhaps it just that the outraged minority now have a louder voice. There is a financial benefit for them writing negative articles, outrage/scandal draws in viewers.
prion diseases too??? That's hard to believe.
So people should just do nothing in the face of police brutality and misconduct? Bringing awareness to issues like this takes time. United's problems have spearheaded a ton of attention to the US airline problem because people recorded incidents. We could finally see much needed airline reform like removing the foreign investment restrictions on airlines and more antitrust activity.

Anything worth fixing or building takes a tremendous amount of focus and time. This comment makes me sad, as it mirrors general millennial sentiments on civic engagement.

Empirically, Perl's glob does not call the system glob. On my Linux system Perl (5.18.2) is slow but the system glob is fast. Create a file named /tmp/glob/$(perl -e 'print "a"x100') in an otherwise empty /tmp/glob and then try:

$ cat tglob.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Time::HiRes qw(clock_gettime);

$| = 1;
chdir "/tmp/glob" || die "$!";
for($i=0; $i<9; $i++) {
$pattern = ("a*"x$i) . "b";
$t = clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME);
$mul = 10;
if($i >= 5){
$mul = 1;
}
for($j=0; $j<$mul; $j++) {
glob $pattern;
}
$t1 = clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME);
printf("%d %.9f\n", $i, ($t1-$t)/$mul);
}
$ perl -v

This is perl 5, version 18, subversion 2 (v5.18.2) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi

You're the second person to claim that Perl calls the system glob though (someone in my blog comments did too). Maybe different versions of Perl do different things? This is Ubuntu 14.04 if that matters.
I question your decision-making if you aren't doing bleeding-edge graphics programming and are replacing a $3,000 computer every three years.

I am perplexed by the negativity. This has nothing to do with mathematics, it's about notational conventions. Only knowing about one of them does not make you better at taking limits.

If the objection is about context dependence, why is nobody going "Would you mind elaborating on the O(10) and what you mean by that? O(10) is the orthogonal group in ten dimensions".
Does this behavior warrant Uber catching a break? In my opinion, no.

That's a bit different - no one here is suggesting recreating tools, merely using existing tools in a more secure manner and segmenting them off from the general public and sometimes the rest of your network too. Lowering your attack surface is often the cheapest way to stop attacks.
Nowhere in the article is it mentioned that the assailants are black, that is an assumption on your part.

I'd take one dude with an iPhone over an arbitrary number of people who premeditate assault and theft.
You're welcome. I think basically all of RE2 is underdocumented and underpromoted. Why should RE2::Set be any different?

Seriously, though, it was a bit of an afterthought. A team at Google was |ing together a ton of regexps and came to me for something better, so I wrote RE2::Set. I'm glad it helps others too.
Poor form? You could squeeze the bag and get almost an identical amount of juice. They should provide some sort of actual value to their customer.

Was the NYT article on Uber and Unroll.me poor form? Should Unroll.me get some runway to test this revenue model before the NYT includes them in a story?

Why don't we just require that businesses provide some sort of actual value? If they're producing value, they can prove it, and the product will succeed or fail on the market. But being able to get the same amount of juice by squeezing the bag isn't some "fake news" drive for clicks. It's an actual issue, which Juicero was apparently shocked by, and they should have to defend themselves.
Yeah I don't have any numbers, I'm just saying there's more to it than meets the eye. It looks wasteful, but that's because the waste happens to be very visible and tangible. Grocery stores and restaurants can be wasteful in less obvious ways.

Bcrypt isn't magic. It will help slow down a full crack against everyone when every pw takes some tens of ms to check (though even if they had a hefty work factor of 1 second on a beefy ec2 instance, you can check a million accounts for 'password' in 11.5 days on a single machine, much less when you can spin up many more instances / leverage a botnet of many if less powerful machines). And if you want to target an individual user, you can try a million different PWs on their account over the same period. That's why it's best practice for everyone to rotate, though if your PW is complex and you're not a particularly juicy target you can probably get away with not doing it right now.
Google and Facebook don't (get caught) breaking each other's Terms of Service. I haven't read the leagalese, but I would imagine using Lyft's APIs to compete directly with their business is probably not kosher.
> A decent type system in terms of productivity is certainly not Haskell, they cannot look down on anyone.

I suspect that the Haskell users would disagree with you. (I am not one, so I cannot say with certainty.)
VR is expensive, but $5K is really overstating it. I've done VR development very happily on my desktop with a 6700K and a 980Ti and, even with a VR headset (I had a free demo kit so I didn't buy it) it'd have been under $2500 all-told. Xbox One development these days is "get an Xbox One you can keep in developer mode" and a sub-$2,000 PC that'll remain relevant for five years at a time. If you're a spec-chaser, it'll be expensive. If you're a normal solo developer, not so much (and EA doesn't swap its workstations every year, either).

Android has also settled to the point where I disagree on the need for multiple flagship devices (most people I know develop on a single device and use something like Device Farm to test more widely, though this doesn't work so well for game development.
Slack does the same thing... files are uploaded to S3 as well. Slack isn't a panacea when it comes to security.

I think Python's string type has an optimization that concatenation on a string where the LHS only has a single reference to it will reuse the existing string when possible. You still have to grow the buffer periodically, of course, but it's not creating as much garbage as it looks like.

this is your opportunity to pointedly not listen to criticism about the React ecosystem, which you are taking in full.

if you were really motivated to improve things you wouldn't need to write a defensive article.

you and your team will continue on your status quo. why?

because you're not able to fix the problems with react router. you're not able to solve the MVC/total solution ecosystem conundrum React has.

you're completely unable to address the core criticisms of the critical article. better to admit that than pretend.

so what we have here is another technologist fighting with mud while loudly proclaiming that they're not fighting, we're all friends, 'it's all for the best.'

Hipchat offers a self-hosted option, which is a requirement for many companies that very specifically don't want their chat logs and files living in some s3 bucket.
As far as usability and all that I really like Hipchat. I haven't gotten the chance to use Slack, but I've got no complaints on the Hipchat application itself. My current megacorp employer uses it as part of a big contract with Atlassian, but ours is hosted internally. I don't know the intimate details of self-hosting, but I assume that mitigates most of the security concerns.

‘Apartheid Without the Racism’: How China Keeps Rural Folks Down
They aren't suing Tesla for their injuries. They are suing Tesla because the door failed to open.

The consequences of soft tissue injuries are often not immediately noticeable. Accidental injury lawyers generally want to get involved as soon as possible, in part to try to document things that might not be obvious.

I am not arguing that these people should get a million dollars. I am only arguing that it is ridiculous to claim that their suit is merely a money grab and has no validity whatsoever. There is a difference.

I am okay with this being sorted out in a court of law. Whether you think they are merely being selfish or not, lawsuits of faulty equipment are one of the ways that constructive change gets moved forward. It matters little whether they just wanted the money or thought about the big picture. It matters little whether or not they explicitly express that in the press.

You think you can decide this case based on the contents of a single article on the internet. That in no way fits with my professional experience, where we needed substantial documentation to make a legally binding decision for certain benefits. So, no, I am not impressed with your armchair opinions here.
At a previous gig, I had to explain to my CTO what JSON was and why it was better than the ad-hoc serialization format he made up where every field was delimited by multiple dollar signs. I interned there, and I was probably twice as old as everyone else.

Oh, and that JSON was supported natively in PHP. The language they were using.

Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance was one of the first books on philosophy that I read outside of my philosophy curriculum at university and it stayed with me.

It's a great book discussing the metaphysics of quality, but not just that. It's written in a captivating way, mixing both the 'food for thought' as well as a pleasant narative about a father and a son on a motorcycle trip.

It's one of the philosophy books that I can recommend to people who are not directly interested in philosophy as well, which gave me some quite fun discussions with my friends about the topics in the book without being too deep into the philosophy itself.
I wonder whether it would help to match from both sides (start and end) simultaneously, since you know you're not looking in the middle of the string. You also don't care about capture groups.
I have a friend who's currently doing a web frontend for an HPC application in C++ with Wt [1]. It's trying to be like Qt on the desktop; basically all events are sent from the frontend to the backend and handled there, in a normal C++ application. Then the widgets render their updated state and that gets sent back to the browser for integration into the client-side view. Then you're just building applications out of widgets like with a regular old desktop application, which my friend is really happy about since he has a bit of experience with Qt and the like, but absolutely zero experience with HTML/CSS/JS.

A lot of comments seem to think this effects developers. It doesn't - just the many sub par app review sites that make money with affiliate links. As an iOS developer I wouldn't be sad to see these die out.

Some comments have mentioned the 30% cut that Apple takes. From my point of view, I'd be making $0 without the App Store, so a 30% cut I was aware of from square one doesn't seem unreasonable. Apple have never raised the figure, and I don't think they're likely to in the near future.
> Would it be better to eat the fruit and veg, sure. But is having juice better than nothing.

But in this system you already have the fruit and vegetables whole - because you put them into the juicer. Why spend the extra time, expense and fuss on juicing them, when you could just eat them in less time, less fuss, and without buying anything?

You've said it's better to eat them, and it's quicker, less fuss and cheaper, so why not?
