In some airports, airlines are essentially leasing gate space from the airport and any software the airline wants installed on the gate computer has to work in a very fixed set of constraints.

The shared gate agent computers are built from an industry-standard OS image (8 years or so ago this was Windows XP SP2, and not SP3, never SP3).

Skeuomorphism is coming back in a measured way — originally it was kind of a "this notepad app looks like a notepad" which ultimately seemed a bit absurd because a yellow-ruled paper texture doesn't really mean anything in a non-physical environment. It was more noise than signal.

...but now as you mentioned — these elements we're interacting with should follow some sort of universal constants and are picking up associations of physical reality that actually mean something. Elements move in from one direction and out from another at set speeds, light sources are coming from consistent places, animations radiate out from the source of interaction...

I don't think that's true. Our experiences with death, whether it comes from others dying or us having a close call, forces us to contemplate our own end. Memento mori and all that.

Uber is Taxi. If taxi works as it should there are 100+ taxi companies in a city and good regulation when it comes to insurance, pay - but no medallion systems or similar.

This is how it works in a lot of places and there Uber is just one company among others - and I don't see how they are revolutionary. The other taxi companies also have prepay, books and tracks with an app etc.
The good thing is that you have self-awareness about it, so you can identify when your mind or emotions are basically playing tricks on you to make you feel that way. Everyone has their quirks, and there are lots of people whose experiences growing up cause all sorts of emotional reactions that don't always map to reality, but as long as you're aware of it and understand it you can manage it and gradually recover from it (speaking as someone who had a ridiculously alienating childhood and absorbed all the baggage that comes from that when becoming an adult).
I initially had problems with max character length for paths. When npm installed dependencies really deep down, Windows became unable to move or delete such files. I think it's been fixed with Yarn's flat dependency structure, which I think npm has also gone or is going to in the near future.
If it's such a great idea, why don't you set it up for Indian people in India and see how that goes first? Why do you think it's more appropriate to create the market within the richest country in order to attract would-be donors from the poor countries? It might be worth pointing out that the philosophical trend in western society has historically been about moving away from institutional caste systems and toward one of equalization. I really suggest that you expand your understanding of Western mores before making further proposals to market the living bodies of your erstwhile compatriots.
I have always trouble remembering where a message came in. I have SMS / iMessage, Messenger, Whatsapp, 5 e-mail accounts and a Forum Inbox to worry about. And since you can't exactly flag messages as 'to do' I have to answer immediately or risk forgetting to reply.

Well, I don't know of anyone with haskell experience who hasn't used this basic pattern occasionally. It's just how you do it.

Thjs article introduces an extra twist or two, but the basic idea doesn't change.
> 1) Drop self driving cars completely. YOu aren't getting there first, second, or anywhere close to third, just partner with a car company and call it a day.

You realize that it's literally impossible to become profitable if they don't have self driving cars, right?
I think the worrisome thing here is that there isn't any restriction or regulation around what people should be looking for at the airport on someone's phone slash what are the markers for why they should be scrutinized. Even with regulation, this kind of power gets abused. Just look at cops in the US. Even though there are rules around when a cop is allowed to search someone's vehicle, cops often find ways around it to do so and get away with it, because it's often a cop's word against a regular citizen's word (and to get anything changed, it's often a long, drawn out and expensive legal battle.)
They're going to need to change that window icon. When WSL meant Ubuntu it made sense. Now that it's becoming distro agnostic, it needs a more universal representation. Bring on the penguins.

Uber's MVP product improves upon all taxi services. Hailing a cab with an app is much better than making a call and hoping they show up.

But all the extra work getting people to drive in the spare time doesn't really add much value. It's only viable because they are dumping money in the market to subsidize it.

Uber could co-exist with taxis. In many cities you can hail a regulated cab with the app.
Hugely depends on where in the world you are talking about. America? Probably not. Japan? Sure. Didn't seem all that useful to me there anyway.
Unless the ramp-up isn't actually planned or policy oriented. It could very well be simply related to feelings among agents that they're allowed to do more.

I will grant that ramp down takes immense work, considering the head of CBP hired by Obama last year to reform the organization resigned after the Border Patrol Union went after him.

That's not exactly what the car in [1] does. They use stochastic optimal control methods, which are more domain specific. They perform forward simulation on a lot of trajectories and effectively pick a good one. They also use localization so control is based more on current position than sensor inputs. The machine learning component is the dynamics model identifications - determining how the car reacts to control inputs. The model is basically a complicated function with a few inputs and outputs, which tend to be smoothly varying, so ml techniques work very well. This is fairly standard in model predictive control since empirical motion models tend to outperform ones that are physics based.

Edit: looking at the paper, they apparently use many physics based models of the car as a basis, but then use ml to mix the models together.
This sort of argument always seems eerily reminiscent of the King's morality advisor in the fable of the dragon-tyrant [1]. I don't think most people can grapple with thinking about the benefits of their own demise, much less accept that dying is ultimately the "better" option. I also don't think such a perspective is wrong.

> As much as you guys love to hate on Uber, do you honestly want to go back to a world without it?

Yes. I would be fine with that. I lived in London for 13 years and never used Uber. Black cabs provide an excellent, if somewhat expensive, service. Minicabs, effectively licensed private car carriage, filled any gaps at an excellent price point for pre-booked rides.

I now live in a medium sized continental European city with no Uber service.

My life will continue just fine without them.

Ask HN: What 'good' is being created on the internet these days?
After reading the 'Wikipedia has cancer' op-ed from earlier this month I was remembering back to the earlier days of the Internet when upstart Internet projects seemed to be trying to take on every major source of power. These projects were largely 'good' and altruistic, looking foremost to change the world and often didn't include a clear business model.

Examples:
Craigslist (21 years old)
Wikipedia (16 years old)
FireFox (15 years old)
OpenOffice (14 years old)
OpenStreetMap (13 years old)
DuckDuckGo (7 years old)
etc

Obviously, there has been tremendous successes with things like Andriod (10 years old), Raspberry Pi (5 years old), and Bitcoin (6 years old). But what's new? What's your favorite new upstart project? Or are all the brilliant minds being lured away by the page views, app downloads, and venture capital cycle?

As graton alludes to with his upgrade link, the trick is to get to the upgrade through an accessibility link. Windows 10 is still free for people that require accessibility services (presumably since it has better accessibility features), but there's no actual requirement behind that.

Everyone is in one bubble or another.
StackOverflow data is not appropriate for drawing conclusions about popularity, growth, or decline.

For example, it's possible that a language is heavily discussed because it's difficult to use or often used by beginners. This effect would inflate PHP's or R's popularity (many R users aren't primarily programmers), and it would deflate C++'s popularity. I found the same effect on Google about 10 years ago: it was easy to find beginner tutorials for PHP, but very difficult to find ones for C++.

You'd also have fewer StackOverflow posts about languages with great error messages, helpful tooling, and static analysis.

The question this data really answers is, "Which programming languages are people getting stuck using?"

Formulated that way, it's a little bit too broad to be interesting, because "getting stuck" could mean a badly designed language, inexperienced user, or both.
Pardon my ignorance as I couldn't find a lot of information on this but if Uber became a transportation company wouldn't that require full-time contracts for all the drivers that would use the application? This seems quite restricting as the purpose of the app is to allow anyone to join the platform and for the driver to drive only when he feels like it.

Forcing licenses doesn't restrict the number of possible drivers? In my country most licenses are held by cartels who don't let any new incumbents in the market.

Also there are some who don't want to be taxi drivers but just do this in off time in the weekends. In my country people that drive for Uber need to have either a juridic registration either as a company or as an authorized person and since Uber has forced online transactions, predetermined pay and a review system, the tax evasion is nonexistent, there is no pay cheating and the drivers behave (as opposed to the taxi drivers who due to cash transactions do a lot of tax evasion, temper with the registering devices and don't care about customer feedback even refusing rides based on tipping).

I hope that if the legislation changes then it also brings the old system to the 21st century.

Every year the idea of a startup post mortem site or study comes up and as always goes nowhere because they can't actually draw a causal relationship and tell the story of why the company in question rolled up.

Besides the fact that there is no incentive, in fact there is negative incentive, for key players to contribute to the study of failure, it also requires insane amount of depth in the very specific field which the company was operating in.

It's the same problem as failed replicated studies not getting documented, it's easier and higher incentive to just try again than to study the issue.

Really just needs to be a non profit that would run the studies and maybe turn it into a consultancy or something.

Well nothing prevents it. [1] In fact they do. The churn rate for Uber is insane. They sign people up and wait for them to realize that after hidden costs (like depreciation and repair) they aren't making much money at all. They are mostly monetizing people's inability to account for expenses.

Hi guys,

I have created a repo summarising a list of algorithms and data structures for easy reference, for a recap of concepts, for preparation of technical interview, and just because I found it interesting!

Thank you(:
Your argument is fallacious. You allude to indian children being held in awful conditions for organ harvesting so as to hold people emotionally hostage to your proposal, but the outcome you refer to to is not an inevitability but the result of a moral and political failure on the parts of the actors involved. You are in effect absolving them of ethical responsibility by saying they can't help it because they are powerless to resist the temptation to make all that money so we should just accept that it's going to happen unless we create a market for it.

They are not powerless to resist the ethical incentives. They are ethically corrupt and your implicitly endorsing their corrupt behavior by treating it as an inevitability that is better commercialized than eliminated.
My experience as an European taking our local taxis:

- Getting scammed by the typical "longer ride"

- Aggressive driving, crossing red lights, etc

- Unpleasant drivers: either passive-aggressive who won't reply to your "good morning", or permanently complaining about everything, including the current trip (too cheap!)

- Apps? Ha! They don't even have GPS, and no, they don't know "the whole city", good luck getting to a smaller street just by the address.

- Your trip goes a bit outside the city limits? Here's a surcharge for the remainder of the trip plus a fee for the trip back (even after your left the cab).

Plus one can't even point to Uber's corruption and lack of respect for law: our association of taxis and its president are no better, just smaller.

Uber's are not particularly cheaper around here, yet I'd choose it or one of their competitors over taxis any day even if they were 50% more expensive.
