Witches? Nazis?

Seriously!?!

So you are saying it someone says "I work at Uber, it's not much different than any other tech company" they will be burned at the steak?

Your rank-and-file employees are not even going to get much more than a "oh really?" when they say "I work at Uber." I used to work for a company that is pretty shady that the majority of people has a very negative opinion on, much more so than Uber. When I said I worked there to others nobody said much of note and certainly nothing like "you're a Nazi." Actually, I take that back, one person said "I could never work there" and I replied with "I can understand why you'd feel that way." That was it!

Even if someone says something, receiving some very mild criticism for holding an unpopular opinion is not the end of the world, it's called life. It's not a witch hunt and you're not some sort of victim.
Yeah ok dude

I'm talking about styling, not layout.
What is pride if not an implicit endorsement? There are parts of Uber to be proud of! I think this is difficult to deny. It's been breathtaking just being in the industry and watching a company pursue a product that is both evidently a step forward in multiple ways with such momentum and entertaining brand building—i remember ordering puppies and ice cream at various points, and can you still get a helicopter in NYC? It spoke to Uber's ambition and ability, which is rare.

However, that should go hand in hand with recognition of parts of which you aren't proud. I don't understand the problem here.
It is not a voluntary interaction between property owners. It is a voluntary interaction between the factory owner and his customers, who are the paying parties and therefore the only entities of any consequence on the free market. It's called an externality for a reason, being that the free market cannot account for it.
How exactly would you distinguish between 'proven' fundamental and merely 'considered' fundamental?

I mean, sure, some laws like Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle can be proven mathematically from the axioms of a theory, but how exactly would that make it more fundamental than a law that is considered an axiom itself?
This really isn't news. At Google (where I work) every time there is a big decision made thousands of employees voice their opinion about it on internal forums. Yet there's no NYT news story about a revolt against Sundar.

Yes, obviously, many if not most Uber employees liked Travis. He built a huge company and made them a lot of money (on paper). He was an extremely effective businessman in spite of his personal shortcomings.

If you have 70, 80, or 90% of the company signing a petition then let's write some articles. For now, nothing to see here.

I feel silly saying this, but I sometimes imagine a scenario in which the attackers are not motivated by money but instead are aiming to simply cause as much destruction as possible, like some kind of "cyberterrorism".

Imagine if the creators of WannaCry had decided to brick everything they could, instead of _just_ holding data for ransom. What then?

Ben-Oni (from the article) says he sees it as "life-and-death". I agree. We're simply not prepared for a well-coordinated attack. I think it will take a true catastrophe before anyone really understands just how vulnerable the Internet is.

Mutation as in the random copy errors in DNA, aren't heritable in the sense that we're not inheriting the mechanism for mutation.

Recombination is a trait that increases diversity of a population, but its also a trait that increases the fitness of the individual organism's lineage as it allows greater diversity of genetic material and interactions between genes in its offspring. So there is an organism level effect that promotes the selection of recombination.

I originally granted that there are traits that can be seen to promote population diversity, but that they would be selected for by the increased fitness at the organism level, not because populations with more diversity better survive random black swan events.

So will the Bay Area's. Incomes aren't keeping up with property values and eventually property values will have to adjust. Property values are derivative of incomes. I'm not sure when or how, but it's not possible for it to keep going up forever.

> Then why do I frequently get confronted by the religion of "inherent truth in math" and we keep teaching our children math made overly convoluted and unintuitive by the "rigorous" crowd? Pretending that this is only a minority is not helpful in quashing the damage done by magical thinking in mathematics.

Are you able to expand on this point?

In my experience I have not heard of children learning rigorous mathematics. Grade school kids learn arithmetic. High school kids learn some calculus and probability (at most). This curriculum is practical for those going to uni or a technical trade. (although the way it's taught is critical to be of any use. If I were a science teacher my class would just build arduino projects all day!)

Your reference to magical thinking seems to be the opposite of what I would consider rigour... I would associate magical thinking with an economist or engineer building a sprawling quantitative risk model and then justifying billion dollar decisions with it. Later realising a small logical error has invalidated their conclusion or that they have overfit their data etc. (Just for example...)

Driverless trucks aren't going to 100% perfect. They just need to be significantly safe and more reliable than humans.

Humans get sleepy, get emotional, zone out, and make all kinds of mistakes all the time.

The first generation of driverless trucks will still have a human as passenger to be backup in case of mistakes. You may be thinking, "What's the point if there will still be a human there? s/he might as well drive." Well, humans still need breaks and can help give feedback to Truck for it to improve.

The first generation won't be perfect, but it will be on its way.
Ask HN: Who's running a profitable newsletter?

So, in summary. The NSA hordes zero day (not sure if just windows), builds some scary tools to exploit these, and of course doesn't let MS know about them, because zero days are incredibly valuable to the spooks. And because perfect security is impossible these tools get out. Perhaps this was obvious from the WannaCry episode, but this article really hammered it home for me.

Why people run any systems on windows is beyond me (not that others are more secure, but windows is a bigger target)
> I'd be bloody worried if developers writing vehicle AI weren't doing this

Me too. There's so much more than just driving. Just as an example, we truck drivers learn to anticipate possible problems based on other people's behaviors. Why anticipate? Because 80,000 lbs can take too long to stop, and people can die.

CSS is more powerful than anything that popular native text editors can do. As far as I'm aware, in native text editors, generally, style can't influence (block-direction) layout, and that's why they can get away with determining what's visible before restyling. Once you have styles that can influence layout, this dependency is reversed, so any native text editor will have to restyle off-screen lines just as a browser must.

Is it worth restricting an editor to only styles that don't influence block layout? For example, should it be impossible for a theme to make comment lines taller or shorter? I don't know; it's a tradeoff between performance and flexibility. My feeling is that there's a lot more room to improve the implementation before we have to resort to reducing capabilities, but reasonable people can disagree.
I don't know if the autonomous car BS at Uber is deliberate distraction or delusional thinking. It should be obvious to most people that, while it pretty clearly will happen, it's some number of decades out before there will be door to door Johnny cab service. And therefore utterly irrelevant as far as Uber in the here and now is concerned.
Yeah, I'm just awful.

Have you been following the Uber story, at all, over the past several years?

I'm done. This is a pointless discussion. I will answer the question:

> How could there be a conspiracy?

You're posting in multiple threads in this discussion; you couldn't have missed that many people in this thread have pointed out the obvious; it could be a wink and nod. "Honey, don't steal any jewelry from your job at PreciousGemCo. That would be wrong. You know how I do love my diamonds..."

If you're unable to imagine other scenarios that fit the very few facts we have,

(1) perhaps you can talk to a CPA, hacker, attorney, con-man, or someone else who is familiar with fraud that's more subtle than Three Card Monte. And,

(2) I'd strongly suggest for your own good that you have someone you trust review any contracts you might want to sign.
I am sorry for your loss. My father died in 2011 and sometimes I still reach for my phone to call him. I offer you some advice that my mother, brothers and I found helpful:

Don't try to be stronger than you can be. Look to be strong together, where strength, at least in these early, grief-filled days, is simply that everyone is able to take care of today's business. Feed the pets, cook the food, meet the appointments, talk to each other. All you need to do today is what needs to be done today.

Silence does not equal strength. Each of you, feel what you feel, don't try to keep it in or hide it from each other. Together you can work through the pain of loss.

Be open to accepting help where it is offered. It can be a comfort to you and to your helpers.

I hope you and your family will find comfort with happy memories of your father. I don't know that grief actually ends, but it becomes bearable and finally part of your memories. Best wishes to you and yours.

Cassowary was admittedly a bad example, because it's a layout algorithm rather than a style system. But I've seen folks suggest that we just replace CSS with TeX, for example. Using TeX would make this problem a lot worse, because styling TeX involves expanding textual macros. You would lose any possibility of parallelism, ever.

We're not trying to fight it at a legislative level. For example, ISPs could mitigate DDoS attacks through various means [1]. Sadly they just don't want to do the few day worth of labor (maybe more if they haven't properly automated their infrastructure over the last few years). Now look at Congress, they haven't required that. They haven't used the power of the Constitution to regulate interstate commerce, definitionally what happens when you buy things online, to require that ISPs must do reasonable things to limit the affect of such attacks.

Just my opinion, but I think API Gateway is massively over priced, considering a t2.nano could easily do the same job, and just slap that in a auto-scaling group to keep it running.

API Gateway doesn't even come close to EC2. I could see maybe 200%, but not like 5000% increase. 39M requests per month is basically nothing.

I'm just guessing, but maybe it's related to the inherent flaw that Lambda only processes with a concurrency of 1 (per func container), instead of utilizing Node / Golang concurrency capabilities.
Same here. I have a Windows PC which I use only for games and media processing. Steam for Mac isn't bad, but the vast preponderance of popular new (and old) games remain Windows exclusives.

How to Make a BIG Impact with Tiny Footsteps
I think it will take a true catastrophe before anyone really understands just how vulnerable the Internet is.

Or how bad an idea it is to connect anything and everything to that Internet, particularly if it does anything important or potentially dangerous. If the Internet is one of the best ideas humanity ever had, the Internet of Things may prove to be one of the worst.

My personal nightmare involves a vulnerability in a popular model of remotely connected and semi-autonomous or autonomous vehicle. I don't think Western governments have any idea how much harm something like that could do or how plausible it actually is, and I don't think the auto industry executives care enough to stop it.

When you decide that comments are "trolling" by their effects, rather than only their content, you give censorial power to people who respond poorly.
My brother used to work in a bar and asserts the following:

Some days he would work all day and see people put money in a machine and not win anything much (e.g. jackpot never came up). Believing that the machine had a payback rate that would balance out over a few hours/days, he would deliberately put a bit of money in at the end of the 'no winner days', and would often win enough that it made it worthwhile overall.

Anecdotal, but it seems consistent with your understanding and is a source of an edge.
Should it be impossible for a theme to make comment lines taller or shorter?

Of course not; everyting should be in the same damned monospaced font in a text editor for writing code.
PBS Frontline covered this in their February 9th, 2016 episode, "The Fantasy Sports Gamble" (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/fantasy-sports-gamble...)

Zip to around 18:15 in the video.

"After I set up the account, I couldn't quite figure out how to deposit money. That's when I got a phone call on my cell phone and a guy walked me through how to put money on the book. Took my credit card right over the phone. Then he assured me there wouldn't be anything on my credit card statement that said BetOnline."

What would show up on the statement was MoserSafety. Which was a front website. If you called the contact information, they confirmed they had no safety goggles, gloves, hard hats, etc. to actually sell you. It was a shell. In fact, they confirmed on the phone that the number called was a, "third party payment processing support service." Some time later, the site no longer existed.
> But ultimately, Seltz-Axmacher believes, the tools he’s developing will be good for truckers. He cites a new book by Garry Kasparov, Deep Thinking, in which the chess great observes that middling chess players who play with the help of a standard computer are reliably better than either grandmasters or supercomputers by themselves. “I think humans and technology working together are always going to be better than either one alone,” Seltz-Axmacher says. “But maybe that’s just because I like humans.”

This is amusing because this stopped being true a long time ago. Even by 2007, it was hard for anyone to improve, and after 2013 or so, the very best centaurs were reduced to basically just opening book preparation (itself an extremely difficult skill involving compiling millions of games and carefully tuning against the weakness of possible opponent engines), to the point where official matches have mostly stopped (making it hard to identify the exact point at which centaur ceased to be a thing at all).

Why are you carrying the water for a sexist pig like Bonderman by misrepresenting his crude sexist remark as "some female-negative remark" and attempting to make a false equivalence by claiming it's the same as Huffington making "some female-positive remark"?

You don't see Huffington resign in disgrace, because there was no reason for her to, but you do see Bonderman resign in disgrace, because there was a very good reason for him to, and he admitted it in his resignation letter, calling his actions "careless, inappropriate, and inexcusable" and adding "I need to hold myself to the same standards that we’re asking Uber to adopt. Therefore, I have decided to resign from Uber’s board of directors, effective tomorrow morning.".

Do you disagree with anything he himself said in his resignation letter? Can you explain why he resigned and she didn't, if their comments are equivalent, and he didn't disgrace himself? What precisely did Huffington say that you believe is disgraceful?

Huffington was INVESTIGATING sexism and attempting to CHANGE Uber's sexist culture. Bonderman was EXEMPLIFYING sexism and attempting to PERPETUATE Uber's sexist culture. Are you capable of seeing the difference?

While you're at it, do you care to also carry the water for rtx's sexist remark: "It's a fact that women can speak more than men. But not sure why that is important during board meeting." -rtx

And lots of those who have already proclaimed #deleteuber and would never use their service again regardless, so why pander to their interests?

Much like the groups who rail against McDonald's and their so-called 'unhealthy' menu, who would never eat there and continue to trash talk their business even after getting their way.

Personally I just want a car to pick me up for a for a reasonable price. The internal politics is something I do not care about as with any company I do business with.

Nobody deserves to be shamed for their spending choices.
They don't contradict each other perfectly.

"[O]ther tech companies" doesn't include a magnitude and could very well have meant that it's "just a few other tech companies."

Also, some might disagree with the second statement, and the degree to which different people make either statement isn't "interesting" in the least. Except, of course, to folks looking to excuse Uber's behavior.
Speak for yourself. But you'd be much better off if you kept your mouth shut about sexist opinions like that. Just like Bonderman.
