This could be something for Lyft drivers people who don't drive so regularly. You could for example spot gigs which you can handle while riding to work. If you know day or two beforehand, you can then adjust your schedule accordingly.

Yes, but what good is a VPN where you cannot trust your own network? I would have zero trust in any closed source private VPN. There are ways to gain anonymity from your host that wont require setting up a MITM attack vector for your traffic.

My last experience with a taxi was going to Logan airport. I called one; dispatcher said it'd come in 10 minutes. Never came 15 minutes later. Called another, same thing.

Ended up flagging a taxi down (taxis rarely drove by where I lived but I was in luck (?) after 30 minutes of waiting on the curb).

SpaceX carried an Iridium cluster 3 weeks ago. OneWeb, as you noted; also exists. Google has designs in the space and you can see a company like Planet (or even Planet) eyeing the economics of this. My point was that there are companies putting pressure on terrestrial ISPs.

As to latency; their tech woul;d be ~750[1] miles from the ground. They are targeting 1Gbps capabilities[2] vs a global avg of terrestrial companies around 20gbps. I don't know how viable that number is; but if it is physically possible then hitting 1/100th of that would still put immense pressure on ISPS as the floor for your weakest offering is 10gbps to be competitive. 2019 is scheduled date; so presumably 2020.

I think it's important to note that the fundamental purpose of trademark is to protect buyers. The idea is that if you buy something that says Brand X, you should be able to know that it actually came from Brand X.

For example, if I buy a Coke, I can be confident that it came from The Coca-Cola Company, not Joe's Discount Soda and Rat Poison.

Companies holding trademarks benefit as well, but that's not the goal.

Given that, I think (IANAL either) that much of the decision will come down to whether or not they think buyers will be confused about who the product came from. I don't know how that would play out in the case of a Comcast barber shop, but that's going to me a major part of it.

Back to the actual case at hand, nobody is going to see comcastroturf.com and think that it's actually from Comcast, so there should be no case for trademark infringement.

I don't know if you were around when the web started, but I was. The web was purely a viewing experience, and it gave me pause the first time I was asked to select a local file to "upload". I thought hmmm, when did they poke this hole? Of course for all I know it was a feature from the start but hadn't been used until then, but the concern is still valid. Had the original browser not allowed cross-site resource loading, perhaps other solutions would have been found to common problems (mostly related to advertising).
> Chrome works on every platform.

Except anything MIPS-based. Or Power. Or in fact anything that isn't x86 or ARM.

And it's not just a matter of compiling it for those platforms. There's a bunch of architecture-specific porting that would have to be done (e.g. you _have_ to implement a V8 backend; there is no platform-independent way to run V8 just with a C++ compiler).
So do like fifty thousand other linux apps, because nobody seemed to get service management right.

Are taxis more reliable than lift/uber where you live? My experience in Australia is the opposite.

I never had a uber (no lift here) not showing up , while booking a taxi is almost like a lottery. Few years back our office manager booked 4 cabs for 6pm of the following day because we had a work function to go to. The first cab showed up at 6.50 after countless calls to the taxi company, the other never did.

We ended up calling 3 uber and we were on our way within 10 minutes.

That was the day I swore to never get on a taxi again, unless I really really had to.
In the same vein, I would warmly recommend Marcus Aurelius notes to anybody wondering what all that and this was/is about.
When I set up fairpixels.co, I launched www.logodust.com to share unused logos. Accidentally then (deliberately now), it became a powerful lead generator. Almost 2 year in, I now have a business that supports multiple people and we’ve expanded into new services, with the latest being www.fairpixels.pro (UI design service for software developers). And we’re following the same framework to automate the qualification of leads. So let me break down the exact strategy that seems to work for us, to consistently attract high quality leads:

* 1. Productize your service: Create a clear proposition, and turn your service into a product-like-package. Have a clear deliverable, timeframe and price.

* 2. Then, create ‘side projects’. These side projects should be super valuable to your specific target customer and 100% free.

* 3. Instead of marketing your main service, promote your side projects. These are free, frictionless tools that people gladly share. Driving traffic to these free side projects is a lot easier and the sharability is higher.

* 4. On these side project, upsell your productised service, driving a portion of the traffic to your main service.

Voila.

I used Hetzner services until I received an email from there about some of their servers being infected in the RAM.

Here is the email that I received in 2013:

Dear Client

At the end of last week, Hetzner technicians discovered a "backdoor" in one
of our internal monitoring systems (Nagios).

An investigation was launched immediately and showed that the administration
interface for dedicated root servers (Robot) had also been affected. Current
findings would suggest that fragments of our client database had been copied
externally.

As a result, we currently have to consider the client data stored in our Robot
as compromised.

To our knowledge, the malicious program that we have discovered is as yet
unknown and has never appeared before.

The malicious code used in the "backdoor" exclusively infects the RAM. First
analysis suggests that the malicious code directly infiltrates running Apache
and sshd processes. Here, the infection neither modifies the binaries of the
service which has been compromised, nor does it restart the service which has
been affected.

The standard techniques used for analysis such as the examination of checksum
or tools such as "rkhunter" are therefore not able to track down the malicious
code.

We have commissioned an external security company with a detailed analysis of
the incident to support our in-house administrators. At this stage, analysis
of the incident has not yet been completed.

The access passwords for your Robot client account are stored in our database
as Hash (SHA256) with salt. As a precaution, we recommend that you change your
client passwords in the Robot.

With credit cards, only the last three digits of the card number, the card type
and the expiry date are saved in our systems. All other card data is saved
solely by our payment service provider and referenced via a pseudo card number.
Therefore, as far as we are aware, credit card data has not been compromised.

Hetzner technicians are permanently working on localising and preventing possible
security vulnerabilities as well as ensuring that our systems and infrastructure
are kept as safe as possible. Data security is a very high priority for us. To
expedite clarification further, we have reported this incident to the data
security authority concerned.

Furthermore, we are in contact with the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) in
regard to this incident.

Naturally, we shall inform you of new developments immediately.

We very much regret this incident and thank you for your understanding and
trust in us.

A special FAQs page has been set up at
http://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Security_Issue/en to assist you with further
enquiries.

Kind regards

Martin Hetzner
Re: money. $400 million was too large of a number for me to comprehend. I was curious.

From FY2015, actual budget is $372 million. $227 million is applied toward investments - mutual funds, bonds, etc, presumably to ensure longevity and continuity. They paid $29 million in income taxes, $6 million in employee benefits. I can't really comprehend rest of the audit report in any practical terms I understand, but that leaves about $100 million to try to understand and rationalize (actually probably a lot less than that.)

At 1,000 employees, that's $100k per person on average, which doesn't sound so far-fetched (of course in reality it's a curve, but it suddenly doesn't look so alarming). Somewhat noteworthy, they donate about $300k/year and a full-time employee to Let's Encrypt. Which, well, I personally benefited from that, so kudos.

A Sprint Story Chapter Five: Feedback Friday, Mead Makers and Pirate Ships
I am a frequent user of Uber. I don't use Lyft at all. I don't see any reason to use Lyft over uber. It's price estimation is wrong. Uber says $39 for airport, Lyft says $35 - $46 for airport. Estimated time of arrival is also wrong. Uber says it will take 4 mins for driver to come while Lyft will say drive will reach in one minute. I mean I can see on the map there is no way driver can reach in one minute.

Whenever someone say he uses Lyft over uber and I ask the reason. They always says they don't like Uber because they can't tip the driver. I understand there is tipping culture in USA so that could be reason to prefer Lyft.

Can I ask why would you prefer Lyft over Uber?

With CLJS on Node booting up as fast as it does, I can envision a world where CLJS is vastly more popular than CLJ, since it's able to deliver a class of experience prohibited by the slow JVM startup. All the other common criticisms are shared by both CLJ and CLJS, so there's a chance that, eventually, CLJ only has the startup time as a knock against it, and CLJS has no such shortcomings. (Ignoring, of course, "Lisp is weird".. don't get me started.)

That all said, I think all 'piles-to-JS language bets are off in the face of WASM.
To be fair on #1, even considering the entire supply chain and lifecycle of an EV vs ICE, the EV comes out WAY ahead of the ICE in terms of carbon impact.

Be VERY aware that if you intend to use the GPL version of this, Sencha's official view is that you must release your BACKEND code under the GPL as well, if that backend is required for the frontend software to function. See https://www.sencha.com/legal/open-source-faq/ :

> Let’s say that the application has a front-end (that generates web pages linked to Ext JS JavaScript) that communicates over JSON/HTTP with a backend service. This backend service contains approval and validation logic for this application alone. Even if only the front-end uses Ext JS code, you should consider that the combination of front and back ends constitutes the application, and the source code for both back and front end would need to be provided to the application’s end users under GPLv3 if the application is used by an end-user who is not part of the same legal entity that holds the GPLv3 license to the Ext JS code.

<insert spit take> I'd LOVE to see this taken to court; either way it falls, it would be needed clarity on how the GPL works in the modern world. Personally, though, I wouldn't touch anything containing the word Sencha with a 30 foot pole.

(I am not a lawyer; this is not legal advice.)

If the product is complicated, requiring tons of domain knowledge, but the implementation is an uninteresting, glorified CRUD app, then part of the grinding suck for you and the developers might be the mismatch between the product domain model and the software's implementation model. As an advocate of domain-driven design, this situation would make me sad, too. Happy to discuss if you're so inclined.
well, you could depend on left-pad@5b055a0b42f1c, and the name doesn't really matter. Normally you would include that as require('left-pad') but if you have multiple versions, I don't see why require('left-pad@5b055a0b42f1c') couldn't be used.

As I've said before, I try and make the first ~10kB delivered to the browser be able to render everything important above the fold, and have everything work reasonably in the absence of JS, eg for those of us running NoScript or similar out of caution.

Because unlike other browsers Firefox will actually search existing open tabs and present those as possible results (and open the tab if you choose it).

I have hundreds of tabs open at a time. Instead of searching for something, then going to the Google page, clicking and waiting for it to load, in Firefox I search for what I want in the bar, it presents the tab as a result and opens it instantaneously.

In addition with the vertical tab bar extensions I can see a list of about 40-50 tabs open at a time, using the additional horizontal space monitors provide that web pages don't use to keep an easily visible list of tabs.
Coroutines may also require mutexes. Usually they are very coarse-grained, but the usecases for coroutine mutexes and wait queues exist. These are not pthread mutexes, of course, they would be part of the coroutine runtime or hand coded.

For example, you could have coroutines that write to a shared resource (such as a socket) where interleaving the data from two sources would be a problem.

There are many ways to transliterate. While "kh" is probably the most common, I think the proliferation of systems suggests there's no one "correct" transliteration.

The options are "texnika" (eg GOST 7.79 System B), "technika" (eg ISO/R 9:1968 variant 1), "tekhnika" (many different systems, as you mention), and "tehnika" (eg ISO/R 9:1968 main variant, but perhaps the most straightforward in any case).

I was a bit surprised that you've connected the term sobornost with my originial message. In fact Odoevsky' tale is not only about mechanics or optics, it has philosophical meaning too and one can relate things like sobornost to it. But I think not many even Russian critics think so deep about this old tale.

Early ideas of Odoevsky and slavophiles made a base for a philosophy of Russian cosmism [1]. Just a few famous names related to this philosophy:
Nikolai Fyodorov [2], Konstantin Tsiolkovsky [3] (one of the fathers of rocketry and astronautics), Alexander Bogdanov [4] (father of systems theory), Vladimir Vernadsky [7] (noosphere).

I also suggest to read The Cybernetic Manifesto [6] by Valentin Turchin [5] (the author of programming language Refal) for more modern view on sobornost-like things.
