From your comment:

The author is not "labeling you a spammer". They're simply stating a fact about their experience. And in fact, it doesn't even mention you.
I'd definitely like to see some numbers on this. A lot of the people I know don't travel and use Uber frequently.
Prescription drugs are often similar. I don't know how much the pharmacy charges the insurance company for these drugs, but on my insurance I had to pay a $20 copay for metformin, simvastatin, and carvedilol.

Then I found that if I went to Walmart I could buy metformin and carvedilol for $4 each, and I could get simvastatin for $8.50 if I used a GoodRx coupon.

I was also paying a $20 copay for a 120x50mcg bottle of fluticasone propionate nasal spray. I have since found out that I can buy a 5 bottle pack for $35 from Amazon, with no involvement from insurance.
The trick is disposing of the saltwater. Consider that depending on the locale, wastewater might be put back into the water table or else treated for bacteria then let back into the environment.

Saltwater saturating our soils, water table or even being too concentrated in a bay would affect the ecosystem negatively.

Humans cannot and do not "think through problems in any generic situation", and specifically when it comes to driving, they fail with fatal consequences about 100 times every single day in the U.S. alone.

> And if one of those cards is ever compromised, or even if they want to just cancel or stop paying for a service, all they need to do is delete the virtual card.

I hate this concept. It's the epitome of where we've come online, in general. The ability to "ghost" a service is just childish. Go online and cancel, or pick up the phone and do it.

Also, make sure you're not contractually obligated to any remaining balances. Cancelling your card won't get you very far with that.

I'll clarify by saying that if a service refuses to let you cancel (Been there, still doing that) then you have the right to cancel the card number, but not without attempting to be responsible for your subscriptions, first.

Uber is evil. They always have been. I've been trying to talk my friends into boycotting them for years because of their corrupt practices, and the various scams they've run on their drivers. Their highly-performant backend was used to place "ghost cars" and avoid government officials. The timing on this is, yes, frustratingly arbitrary, but this really is the whirlwind they have sown.
It would have to be a very close friend indeed for me to offer to do a bunch of free labor (in the form of teaching) in addition to giving money, and I'd have to be satisfied that the circumstances were not reasonably within the person's control. It's not that I think people don't deserve help up when they screw things up that are within their control. It's that I don't want to "throw good money after bad," and from my experience and what I've heard from others, that's the majority outcome for situations like this.
I remember trying to research things on the web before the days of Google and Wikipedia- it was much easier to go to the library back then, in my experience. The ways that these tools have changed the ways that people work is astounding

a lot people in non coding jobs (e.g. managers) would benefit from being able to code, or least read it efficiently too.

To think that the RAM in the smallest system I have used in my life is 256MB (somewhere in 2005 and in Windows 98 and 40GB HD) and that people used to run entire PCs in less. Feels unreal (just like people talking about 4K memory as state of the art decades ago). Nowadays people are indifferent to Memory sizes as they just keep increasing every year.
I've tried to teach code to coworkers and friends for free. It doesn't really work out. Teaching programming is significantly more difficult than doing it (IMO). You'll definitely learn how hard programming is to learn, and that can be helpful. But unless someone puts real skin in the game, and/or have a real need to learn programming, they probably won't be able to muster the focus and commitment needed to reach a satisfactory skill level.

Kinda, that's the example the article uses, but the core is about the use of parser-combinators for the job (even the title is "What the heck is a parser-combinator?").
Really great initiative, I hope it works out well! I haven't taught anyone like this, but in other contexts.

I would say since money is involved and he doesn't necessarily have the same strong motivation that self learners usually do that it's important to lay down clear rules, i.e. what does it mean to learn to code. Ideally this should be output based rathe than input oriented, like building a certain simple app. That's also extremely rewarding.

I always tell people to follow the stanford course on swift (from itunes u), it's absolutely brilliant. Depending on his background something else might be more suitable, but in any case you could act as the TA checking his homework, but also as a classmate/teacher that can answer questions. The bulk of the presentation of new material you ca safely leave to a mooc i think.

Good luck!

The story there is more complicated, and security plays a large part of it.

1) Slack uses AWS. While it's perfectly possible to operate without slack, chat services are valuable during outages. The kind of incident where it would be most valuable is precisely the kind of incident that would take it down. Communication services must be completely independent of the AWS infrastructure. Likewise, something like PagerDuty is effectively off limits. Though they've done a good job building resilience, PagerDuty have been affected by AWS outages.

2) Slack communication isn't encrypted end to end. While it may be stored encrypted at rest, it is stored in a method they can decrypt, read and analyse (inherent in the features they provide). Chat is filled with critical operational information, and (no matter how well you train people) passwords and other critically sensitive information. There's always an extremely slim chance that a rogue actor could choose to access information they shouldn't. That information is, also, potentially accessible to someone who might hack in and compromise the service. We've already seen Atlassian's hosted HipChat service compromised and some chats leaked. Slack has, arguably, an even bigger bullseye painted on it. (fun thought exercise: what damage could a malicious actor with access to yours slack channel do with your chat ops bots? How long would it take to stop them?)

3) feeding on from 2, to some degree, you don't control the security of hosted solutions. Audit compliance is a checklist game, it is perfectly possible to check every point on those checklists and still be inherently insecure. If you're even remotely paranoid, you've got to assume that anything you don't host will be compromised, and weigh up the risks associated, against the value and necessity of the service. Leaking operational information is a big, big risk. Amazon's security sets a high bar for paranoia. They are determined to never have a New York Times front page article "Amazon hack, credit card information stolen", or similar.

There's just no strong value in them switching to Slack, just a whole mass of unnecessary risks.
Hi

The GSL library is already usable in CL, no need to add bindings, i included the link.

> you can declare the types in standard CL without loading a library or something else odd. Can you just (define int(a) 3) and let the compiler guide you?

Yes, and yes. No need to load anything and the declarations are simple as in "(declare (fixnum a b c))". The compiler does the rest. You can also specify ranges, etc.

"declare" is part of the ANSI standard.

> I think I've seen that plotting library in the clicki link, but it has a long way to go if you're used to Matplotlib, JS, or what is included in .NET.

There are many libs, not just one. But you might be correct, in which case i'd just have the visualization done in JS or .NET (etc), and just load the final for the plot through HTTP from the Lisp server (which is the one which did the heavy lifting.)

It is not difficult.

That's not how it works though.

Linux is a kernel, and Linus has all the right in the world to make that claim. It doesn't in any way strengthen your argument though because of the different userland. You are comparing apples (operating systems) with oranges (kernels).
Ah, thanks! I should have specified that I was speaking anecdotally. I've just never been paid semi-monthly or monthly in the US or heard of it from others. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised if it is more common that I would have thought. Perhaps it's more common in other regions or fields.
You don't have to see competition as some sort of "holy grail" in order to perceive it as almost invariably better than its absence (from a consumer perspective) in a market economy.

> If everyone strongly believes that black people are still feeling the effect of slavery(despite not being alive when that was a thing)

That's a historically ignorant characterization. De jure discrimination existed long after slavery ended. Had Bill Gates been born a black kid in the south, he likely would've gone to a segregated school. De facto discrimination continues to present day. When Bill Gates got on stage to announce Windows 95, more than half of Americans didn't think that black people shouldn't marry white people. Do you think all those people admitted that view to pollsters, then went around in their schools, governments, and work places treating black people exactly the same as their white counterparts? Believing in Santa Claus would be less naive.

> give them reparations and conclude that the playing field is level.

People tend to think of that as a bizarre idea, but in reality that's the default way to remedy harms in the American legal system: awarding money damages. Here, the legal entities primarily responsible for the harm (the state and federal governments) are still around and can be held liable. Damages are often estimated by looking at the difference in income resulting from the harm. Here, that's likely north of $300 billion per year (assuming all of the black-white wage gap is explained by discrimination).

> You don't undo harm by harming others, you don't fix racism by introducing racism against others.

That's like saying you don't fix an infection by cutting out the infected tissue, which necessarily involves cutting out healthy tissue around it. Or that you don't fix cancer by collaterally poisoning a bunch of perfectly healthy non-cancerous cells. That's exactly how you fix disease!

The idea that the harms caused by federal and state governments' laws protecting slavery and segregation will go away simply because you get rid of those laws is like believing that a paperclip will unbend itself, or that an overturned boat will right itself. Fantastically naive.
I'm running Firefox on Linux on a late 2016 MBP, and it runs quite smoothly. Another commenter said something about drivers for OSX; that seems likely.
Meaningless rhetoric which skips the part where you determine who the victims actually are.
Well, prototypes have already drove millions of miles like that.

(Whether they also had a steering wheel is of course irrelevant, what the parent means is that they can drive without nobody needing to use the steering wheel).
Whatever Elon is working on...
My perspective is that, if I think drivers should be paid more, tipping gives me the capability to make that real for my drivers.

The model of Uber is in fact that the driver is an independent service provider to me, the rider. Uber is just the matchmaker. So if I want my driver to make more, I pay them more.

I think the mindset of "I won't tip but at least I think Uber should pay their drivers more" is just rationalization. Merely thinking things in our heads doesn't change anything.
it is fake. two observations:

1. they sent a pre-recorded video to the media instead of inviting the media to witness the test flight. those who are capable of building such flying cars don't make stupid mistakes in such scale.

2. it has 36 engines, good luck for the vibrational modes.
It almost seems like this could be described as dynamically building a per-user VPN, via inbound proxies for admission control and traffic src/dst filtering, and services hosted behind multiprotocol terminating proxies. Some extra client analysis (practically effective, even if no theoretically valid remote attestation), tedious but necessary work to understand the access patterns for all the internal services, etc.

It seems there can still be lateral re-infection via difficult to patch shared services (finance/procurement/obscure wikis). The examples in one of the papers (delivery people not needing access to financial systems) is completely bogus -- sometimes the worst engineered, most xss-y, mission critical apps have to be accessed by everyone, have insanely hand coded 'business logic', and no docs. Content aware behavioral profiling would seem to have a role in managing that risk.

How do I know what to tip? How do I estimate before getting an uber how much it's going to cost? Tipping is the worst part of visiting the US. You go to restaurant and the menu for your meal says $x, but it's not $x, it's $x plus taxes plus tips. As a consumer I just want to know up front how much something is going to cost. No other country in the world makes this as ridiculously hard. And if you screw it up your "cheapskate".

"Finding yourself" is not an end goal for me. It's a journey towards using the time I have on this planet to
a) have (great) impact
b) doing what I'm passionate about

In other words, it is the quest to "find a mission" and not just your live on a day-to-day basis. I think this is what most of us strive for, but don't have the guts to pursue, because it means taking time of your day job, reading books, talking to people etc. And even if you find your mission there is no guarantee that you'll fulfill another necessary condition: earning enough money for you and your family.

I truly believe that if more of us would start a journey to "find themselves", find a mission and drive the human race forward with their skills we'd be better off. However, the opportunity cost for this approach can be quite high, which is probably the reason just a few follow their heart and instead spend 1/3 of their lifetime (8 hrs per day) working for soulless corporates with no (or prentened) mission.
Tipping is a repugnant practice full stop. Tweak the algorithm to charge more for high stress or off path routes and remove the onus on the customer to have to go through this pointless ritual.

I'd much rather know my driver is paid a fair wage (and pay more upfront) by their fucking employer rather than have to be responsible of making up the difference.

For the love of god, stop the hyperbole, and try to understand the comments you are answering better.

See how condescending this is?
OK, you're not wrong here, but let's qualify your answer a little bit for the people that are less "into this" and to introduce some intellectual honesty in the discussion.

Apache has had 187 known vulnerabilities _since 1999_.
The full list can be found at http://www.cvedetails.com/product/66/Apache-Http-Server.html...

Of the 24 remote code execution bugs you mention, only 4 of them were found in the last 8 years. The one before dates from 2007.
Of those 4, only 1 of them was considered critical, and even that one is Windows only. The others don't even breach a CVSS score of 7.

So yeah, I stand by my comment that they have a pretty good track records over the past years.

And as to stop building stuff in C, I agree that if you start a new project today that depends heavily on network facing code, parsing of untrusted input and does not have massive speed requirements, there are other language choices one could make.
But rebuilding Apache in a memory safe language? Oh well, the beauty of open source is that anyone can take a stab at it.

How does a company so big not make a profit/could possibly go bankrupt?

My current understanding is companies either focus on growth (at a loss) or choose to focus on profit (with the risk of competition overtaking them or decay over time).

But lets say they go bankrupt in 1 year, couldn't they just switch to "profit mode"?

If there is no "profit mode" ... then why are people investing in the first place?
