Why are they not supporting non-family men? They literally include everyone but this one group, why?

Although Uber has a better market penetration right now, it seems each day we're getting closer to the tipping point for Uber. Once Uber loses traction and grip, what prevents the now uber driver to switch to become lyft drivers ? People looking for rides do not care if it's uber or lyft or something else as long they have a ride and it's not too expensive.

United Airlines having a good Q2 quarters will not help Uber in any way escape the trial vs google or suddenly give them a profitable business model other than let's burn through investor money and conspire to get google technology to get rid of the drivers in the not so distant future.
Maybe install itself as a network packet filter and work as temporary firewall until the machine is restarted?
For Go (as it is statically linked) you can use FROM SCRATCH. It's faster, smaller, easier.

Perhaps it is also the case that many mathematicians are far to the autism side of the spectrum, and find it difficult to verbalize "soft" aspects such as motivation and intuition, even though those are extremely important in a textbook.

It's almost as if they partly lack theory of mind, and cannot imagine that somebody else does not know what they know, and consequently give explanations that are only suitable for someone who already knows the material.
Unless this VC money goes to pay for trial expenses against google.

But with modern laptop/tablet hybrids do you need an iPad for your workflow? You could get a more functional device and still have your drawing tools.
Thanks for being a voice of reason and free speech. I also do not agree in the slightest with the OP, but non the less being down-voted to hell is a bit harsh imho.

That is not how democracy should work. We should counter his (missing) arguments. Sadly he/she/it did not provide anything substantial on that one could base a valid argument.
Sure Uber is losing gobs of money, but that's not the most important metric at this stage for them. Look at Tesla, they lost 330 million in 2017 Q1. You absolutely will find bears against Tesla, but that's mainly because of its current $324 share price, not its fundamental business which is losing money.

The OP didn't say that women were homeless due to abuse and not drugs and that men were homeless due to drugs/PTSD.

In fact if you read what they wrote, they didn't specify sex at all. A man can be homeless due to an abusive relationship, they never said they couldn't. Hence independent statements. nsnick was the one assuming something.
Martin Fowler: The Many Meanings of Event-Driven Architecture
I find both the ant colony and pack wolves to be bad outcomes -- and something in between, an actual community that doesn't solely "exist to produce", but its also neither "each man for themselves", much better.

It's also funny how "ant colony" seems to be the direction of both the now deceased USSR-style socialism and modern capitalism -- with elites on top, total surveillance, and everything, just with different names.

> I really appreciate the trend to rewrite C/C++ libraries in Go

If we're going to rewrite libraries which may be used by other applications, which gets deployed on servers, where people will need to update things in the name of security...

It would be nice if those libraries weren't statically linked, and thus would need to be rebuilt, pushed and redeployed for every one of their dependent libraries which had a security issue.

The only place I can imagine Go-based software being useful, is for code you've built yourself, for use in a always rolling forward cloud-environment you maintain yourself, where updating dependencies and rebuilding is part of the day to day operations.

Trusting Go-code written by other people for anything you deploy publicly sounds like something I'd rather never do. It sounds like a security nightmare.

I wonder if when Uber finally craters if it will take the SF real estate market with it.
I don't have a problem with it being closed if it's subjective but I do wish they would remove closed articles from the search.
I cancelled my subscription to the gym - too expensive. Have you thought about your local community college? I take a few classes of incredible bootcamp at the mine, in addition to a http://www.dissertationhub.co.uk market aerobic class. Most community colleges have a fitness centre too.
I started with Hypercard and followed up with Borland C++ Builder. In both cases, there was a reference manual and many examples. SDKs (such as the DirectX one) also came with tutorials and sample code. I also bought a book about C++, but it was a very bad one in retrospect, as well as the OpenGL red book.

Not having access to the internet (let alone Stack Overflow) really forced you into a mindset where you were on your own, so you had to take a scientific approach to finding bugs: trying hypotheses, comparing code that worked and code that didn't, reverting changes to a known working state, and so on. I wish it had made me better at writing easily debuggable code, but I was still too young back then, so it mostly made me very good at debugging ugly code (this, and my four-year stint as a programming TA means that my most effective debugging method is staring very hard at code for a minute).

After a while, I managed to get a connection to the internet. I suddenly gained access to a lot more tutorials and online resources. I spent a little while on IRC and on the Gamedev.net forums, but by then it was a lot faster for me to solve my own problems than to post them somewhere and wait for an answer. What I needed then was to unlearn all the bad habits that came from coding on my own, and it took a while (and a few team projects). I was this kind of weird creature who knew the C++ standard by heart and could find subtle errors just by reading C++ code, but who was completely unable to work in a team where everyone wasn't a C++ language lawyer. I got better.

Figuratively. But even that's not true, since customers have saved real money and spent it elsewhere.

I know that this sort of data can be valuable - what browser I use, which plugins are there - but I just assumed everyone was doing this in negligible time frames.

Meeting Resistance and Moving Forward • Linda Rising
I tried both, and my subjective impression was that the iPad had a nicer display, better precision on the stylus with somewhere under half the latency, and a better feel when drawing. The software also seemed to do a better job of interpreting pen input (but admittedly I only tried MS’s first-party software and a few other tools pre-installed at the MS store, and conceivably a team of DSP experts could fix this in third-party software).

I also found the tablet versions of MS Windows to be kludgy and uninspiring with some weird corner cases, but I’m not enough of an expert with it to really offer a fair review.

When I’m reviewing/proofreading someone’s paper, doodling mathematical notes, making a flow chart, sketching a user interface design, or drawing an illustration, I don’t want a “real computer”. I want one app at a time, and I want the UI chrome to get the hell out of the way.

YMMV.
In Europe these clauses are not enforceable. Whether you sign a contract with such clause or not is irrelevant since it's not a qualified subject of a contract. You can write in your contract whatever you want but only the qualified subjects are binding.
Doesn't particularly make a difference, given that this issue is about users not upgrading (for whatever reason) their windows XP installations. Would the exploit having being disclosed by the NSA or by someone else have changed the fact that these users would not have upgraded and gotten a patch?
Anyone can seek help on the open market to support Ubuntu 10.04 forever if they like. You can't go to another company if you don't like the price Microsoft sets for support for Windows XP.

I think the SO mentality leads to lazy developers who depend too much on the wisdom of others and don't do enough to push their own forward. Too many times I've seen "tech departments" sitting around, incapable of doing anything productive, because "the internet is down". This is a real issue, and I wish it got a bit more attention from the cognescenti .. we are producing generations of robotic developers who can't get anything done without hand-holding...

To further suffocate Uber by supporting their direct comptetitor ?

To signal other would be poachers and tech snatchers that you don't mess with the Google ?

To experiment outside of the google brand ?

To test waters before buying Lyft ?

To evaluate if it is better to enter the market providing rides to people or providing technology to companies providing rides to people ?

There are quite a few reasons for google to be a partner for lyft.
Uber in Europe stopped expanding and is very different in some places. For instance in Berlin you hail normal cabs with it.

How a good user experience should make you feel
This is an oversimplified view on marketing.

Imagine there is a human desire X in some people, and there are three products A, B and C designed to fulfill that desire. Do you honestly think the marketing industry is stupid enough to primarily be engaged in trying to sell product B to people who DON'T have desire X? Of course not. The idea is to convince people that product B does a better job of fulfilling desire X than competing products A and C. Or at least that it optimises some other variable – it might not be universally better, but it may be a whole lot cheaper, or easier to get a hold of, or have better customer support.

Real[1] marketing is mostly concerned with finding the people who have a particular need, and making sure they are aware of a product that fulfills that need, and what the strengths of that product are.

Marketing is fundamentally about increasing sales as much as possible with as little expenses as possible. The most efficient way to do this is to find people who already would have wanted your product if only they were aware that it exists, and make them aware that it exists. Convincing people to buy things that fulfills needs they never had is possible, but takes a lot of effort. Too much to be worth it, in most cases.[2]

----

[1] This may sound like I'm moving the goalposts, but all I'm really trying to do is guard myself against the obvious "but I got this viagra marketing spam email which does not fit your description" rebuttal.

[2] Yes, there are plenty of "artificial needs" to go around, but most of them are created by culture, of which only a smaller part is marketing. They're rarely created by a single, hugely effective marketing campaign. (I say rarely, because De Beers comes to mind...)
I think that is what it is meant to be. Mostly an exchange of opinions and discussions. Stackoverflow happens to be much more formal and precise. So, while a question like "How do I use RxJava primitives with Spring MVC" is better suited for StackOverflow, a question like "Do you believe reactive programming is highly misplaced in most situations" is more quora-ish... or at least that's the way I think of them.
The concept of a majority vote was traded away when multiple states with different population was united into a single nation. The evening out of power difference between high population state and low population state is a very strong bargaining chip in avoiding a split back to the previous system.
I’ve (briefly) tried various laptop/tablet hybrids, and found the iPad to be a better drawing tablet, see my other reply. YMMV.
Also from the same era was implausibly popular 'dynamic HTML' site Dynamic Drive, where users could copypaste semi-curated JS, which was responsible for some of the worst code ever to be deployed on the internet.

I honestly don't know if it helped move web development forwards or held it back!
if, say, zookeeper was a dependency for local development and you didn't want to go through the installation on every laptop... i guess?
but then what is the most important metric for Uber?

AFAIR they are not growing as fast as they were, and have been all but outlawed in many places already.
Tesla has working, autonomous software running on vehicles in the real world gathering real data that can be used to improve.

Tesla has pretty good driver assist software that they claim, without evidence, can be used for self driving. But then again everybody has driver assist software and everybody is currently building self driving cars. The big question is can Tesla learn to build reasonably priced, reliable cars at scale faster than for example Volvo can perfect their self driving technology. Because we already know that Volvo can build cars and meet production goals.
Algorithm Integer Factorization Elucidated
The unfortunately reality is that men are mostly disposable in our culture.
The the issue is that Windows leaves a port open which is accessible to anyone online? And the update closes it?
It wasn't about fixing, it was about upgrading/updating. It takes people and money to upgrade large infrastructures - closed source or open source, doesn't matter. Thinking that irresponsible (or budged-constrained) organizations will somehow have a completely different mindset and or set of priorities when they switch from Windows to open source software is naive.
Its possible that there's some bias in what things I would respond to in that sort of way, but if people here were saying that democrats were trying to kill people-in-general, and it wasn't already greyed out from downvotes, I would hope that I would respond in generally the same way that I did here?

I don't know if I really would fulfill the expectations I have for myself in such a situation, but I hope that I would.

I am not saying that the proposed policies aren't bad, or even that they aren't evil (not saying it is either. I would need to do a lot more reading to know), just that the goal isn't killing people, and to believe that the goal is killing people, (not just an expected outcome of a decision made for other reasons) is rather absurd.

No major USA political party has as general goal "kill the women, children, and elderly people". This should be obvious.
China Hit Hard by Hacking Attack as Asia Assesses Damage
The foundations of computer science are trivial from the mathematics standpoint. I would not call them "results of mathematicians".
I guess it will unfortunately take a long time for the world to realize that the rules of "cyberwar" are different from the conventional military. (Of course, there's a lot of literature from security and cyberwar researchers, but that doesn't seem to reach the politicians.)

You can't just pour money in offensive capabilities of your intelligence agencies, as is currently done in most countries, and hope to "win". Your exploits and zero days will be stolen, your critical systems will be weaker (because you intentionally weakened them or didn't disclose vulnerabilities) and you simply can't control the weapons you created. Worst of all, the weapons developed by state actors will fall into the hands of ordinary criminals, which makes for an even more complicated world.
Did they just write it during CockroachDB's release?

So sketchy.
Such incidents set the climate for the debate that is perhaps relatively unimportant for United but critical for Uber: regulation.
Useful technical SEO checklist for developers
Most operators also subsidise tablets, sometimes at cheaper rates than phones.
That's right and another possibility is to create a small cluster to do integration testing (on Jenkins for example). It's more easy to share containers with colleagues so you don't have to worry about about dependencies.
It's also easier to limit cpu/memory in a container to check the cpu/memory requirements of your application.
In some sense, I rather take solace in the fact that hacks, attacks, cracks, leaks, etc. are continuing to happen regularly --- they are a sign that there is still some freedom left in society.

I think this strongly conflates many issues. First of all, WannaCry spreads through a weakness in Microsoft's SMB implementation. Such a weakness can occur in both walled-garden and open systems.

Secondly, sandboxing, besides improving security, can increase our freedom: we get to decide which application can access what data. In the current model used on many computers, an application can access all user files and exfiltrate usage patterns, address books, etc. WannaCry would be pretty ineffective if it was sandboxed and could not encrypt user's files. Now such malware (as we've seen with the Handbrake malware) can upload all your passwords, browser history, etc.

Sandboxing is fine. It should be up to the user what we decide to sandbox and what not.

(I do agree that society is moving towards being totalitarian. Or at least, making itself extremely vulnerable to totalitarianism.)

Deciding What to Build NEXT?
Borland C++ came with 5 thick books as a reference. It was great. Powerbasic came with a big book, part tutorial, part reference. Schneider CPC had a big programming book with it. So it wasn't bad at all! When you extended your programs with stuff like mouse-support advanced graphics, you read through the readme.txt that was delivered with the library (the libraries could be bought, were freeware, came from your friend or were delivered on magazine-disktettes). Of course, getting help when unexpected problems popped up, was much more difficult without the internet. But then again, you were usually not mangling with a bunch of languages like (HTML5, JavaScript, CSS, Typescript, Angular, React......) but were rather stuck with one programming language that you used for everything. Basic, Turbo Pascal, C, C++... you used one of them for many years as the average guy. So after some time, you got a feeling for it and could work around problems.
That's a great point. The wikipedia article and my best Google fu seems to say that while drug addiction and lack of education is common to both genders, domestic violence and poverty from supporting children are more common causes of homelessness for women and homeless men are more likely to be mentally ill. I see that providing temporary shelter for DV victims is an easier problem than mental illness. Poverty otoh..
> It requires some data on disk, which is about 100GB

As someone who develops on a Macbook with a 128 GB drive, this is completely crazy to me. How is it taking up 100 GB? I use Docker for Mac for most of my day-to-day development, mostly for running docker-compose environments so I have separated Redis/Postgres environments for each app. They take up nowhere near 100 GB. Something sounds very wrong, but I can't imagine how it would be caused by the JVM running Clojure.
Apple is not blameless. I use an iPad4 as a radio and the podcast app is a miserable laggy and unresponsive experience. 30s lag for tapping something is not unusual. The idea I have to replace a 2012 device to render a bloody list with start/stop buttons is pretty shameful.
I literally begged my mom to buy a couple of books for me. The Debian sysadmin bible and some mixed programming for linux book that featured bits from many languages like bash, perl, tcl.

We could just barely afford computers for myself so I am eternally grateful to my mom for working nights while I seemingly played around with Linux and scripting in my room.

I have faced issues relating to requiring specific versions of JDK for each software. I don't work with Java so using a docker would have been a simpler solution, sadly this was before dockers became mainstream.
I used to - but there are very few very good games based on touch controls only, and what really killed gaming on iOS is the flood of freemium games, which are focussed on getting people to pay more instead of offering good gameplay.

For mobile gaming, this made me first get a Nintendo 3DS, and now a Switch. Not only is the hardware optimized for gaming, they still have a healthy market with full-priced pay-once games.
Um, a LOT of drivers broke on the change from XP to Vista.

If you controlled a piece of hardware, you may not have had a choice to upgrade.

The lesson is that closed-source is anathema to a good security policy.
