but I also think your answer could be paraphrased as "conferences are good because extroverts like them

Sure, except that I'm far from an extrovert and that's exactly why I like conferences: I find it incredibly difficult to network and a conference provides a nice, safe, closed environment for me to do so regardless.

Also, in context of "companies should pay for their employees", none of the experiences you note benefitted the company

Absolutely. I wasn't really relying in the context of the article but rather as a counterpoint to not finding personal value in conferences. I've went to almost all conferences I've been to on my own dime, so I obviously wasn't there to benefit my employers.

Cool! Seems like you have a lot of content you could write up. You should absolutely highlight the IPv6 bit. Find the time to make real-time metering and billing an integral part of your system; it's critical to a customer's experience and it gets to be super embarrassing that you can spin machines up and down quickly but can't tell someone how much they're spending (cough cough).

I want to clarify the Switzerland thing: I meant sponsor beer or whatever at a security/crypto/privacy-focused event.
During the Uber vs Didi era, they paid the customer 10-20 yuan for each ride. Occasional free bike ride is nothing I guess. Especially when you have a huge deposit that's very unlikely to be refunded. Also, you probably happened to use them during very competitive times (since last spring). I've used these bikes since last year, for most of the time, you do have to pay.
There was a great scene in a Clive Owen movie - Shoot Em Up - where he goes on a bit of a rant about the correlation between fancy cars, driving like an asshole, and success. I think there's a small level of vague relevance here.

"Mr. Smith: I move my finger one inch to use my turn signal. Why are these assholes so lazy they can't move their finger one fucking measly inch to drive more safely? You wanna know why?

DQ: Not particularly.

Mr. Smith: Because these rich bastards have to be callous and inconsiderate in the first place to make all that money, so when they get on the road, they can't help themselves. They've gotta be callous and inconsiderate drivers too. It's in their nature."

Your obvious next career step is to be a top-tier ML expert?
The Ryzen 5 1600 and 1600x have two CCX modules with 3 cores each (one core disabled on each CCX). So it wouldn't be impossible for AMD to make a 14 core part.
Would filling Kalanick's shoes be regarded as the best, or the worst job opening in Silicon Valley?
I don't think these examples are all that damning, aside from the Susan Fowler and HR failure:

- Waymo: the judge has not ruled yet, and there is no evidence revealed to the public which implicates Uber. There is lots of evidence implicating Levadowski.

- Greyball: I can see investors forgiving this as a necessary play to fuel growth.

- Cursing the driver: a private conversation, neither here nor there.

That said, there may be issues that are not public, and the sexual harassment problem alone may be enough. Senior leadership was rapidly leaving. We don't know what the full Holder report said.
Interesting. That might lead to questions about genetic expression in semen, but then you'd expect daughters to not be immune.

I think you mean a big haircut for the later stage investors. Even if Uber has a down round, the earliest investors will probably still have positive returns (at least on paper).
Yes, i mean in the designing of CPUs. Like transistor layout. It seems like a big problem space where optimal arrangement is hard to find. So i wondered if people trained NN to do that.

The importance of archiving is huge taking in account the numerous times
libraries have been burnt, footage being lost and others parts of history being
buried into the ocean with shipwrecks.

But more importantly if one thinks of Orwell's 1984, were all printed records
were manipulated on a daily basis to reflect a different state of reality while
the events were changing, in the days of internet that is not just a tedious
sci-fi process but one that can be performed in a fairly efficient and
methodical manner to an extent that it cannot be told what was real or not.
I'm in Pittsburgh. Most of my friends have moved to Lyft due to Uber's "behavior." To be fair, due the trips we are taking are relatively infrequent and when we do, there is little cost difference between the two.
With lots of fun writing JNI wrappers, and wrapping Gradle calls into that Makefile.

Google is pretty clear that the NDK is only intended for writing games, high performance audio, or making native code available to Java.
All this talk about Lyft becoming the new Uber is perhaps a bit unrealistic.

Apart from in SF, I've never found Lyft available anywhere I've been (although I understand it is operating on other parts of the US).

To momentarily sing-praises of Uber: the same app, the same login, the same card just works internationally pretty much where ever I have gone on work and vacations regardless of currencies etc - morals aside it is a slick service - but so far I've not been able to use a single Lyft ride because they dont seem to be available apart from the US.

Please come to London & the EU Lyft! I dont want to use Uber due to their well-publicised issues but there is no alternative apart from "old world" solutions.
AFAIK, a VC guy told me a MoBike costs 3000 RMB to produce. The costs may have come down but this was a lot!
PDFC – PDF content comparison
Keep in mind that if their leaked financials are to be believed, they made $6.5 billion in net revenue for 2016. Unfortunately total costs exceed revenue, so they are far from profitable, but that's not exactly chump change.
Not now, but i'm pretty sure this would be a good technic to try for next gen autocomplete.
Navigating the jungle of realtime protocols
Iterator invalidation can lead to memory unsafety in C++, usually due to a pointer or reference becoming dangling, but most other languages just treat it as a correctness problem: GC avoids the problem of invalidating pointers. As my parent comment hinted, some languages, like Java, try to detect (some occurrences of) these problems at runtime.
This seemed inevitable. If the firm is stronger in 24 months then it will lead to a substantial cultural change in the tech industry.
Rider demand, not driver supply. There is plenty of driver supply in most cities.
How could the board kick out a CEO founder given the vertiginous increase in equity valuations said founder presided over? Because those valuations are only meaningful to end investors (i.e. the LPs) when shareholders experience positive cash flow. At Uber the opposite is happening. Why shouldn't we assume, then, that the board realizes Uber is headed for a fatal pinch[0] and has acted accordingly?

Bloomberg in April reported[1] Uber's cumulative cash burn at US$8 bn since its founding in 2009. You can argue that Travis Kalanick presided over rising valuations but so far there is no evidence of an increase in book value per share. Conversely that cash burn risks being crystallized as "value destruction" if revenue growth stalls.

The alleged personnel issues, the lawsuit, the bad press -- they are history and the firm has no choice but to cope with them. But failing to improve net margin can be quickly fatal and if that is happening then the other issues remain relevant. TK, who also presided over those, becomes part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

Haircut does not imply that they will have negative returns. It could mean that instead of a 50x ROI, they end up with a 5x ROI.
Lyft is US only isn't it? How would that be a good thing?
What are these bikes like, and how much do they weigh. They often remind me of the Bicycle Shaped Object's I had as a kid (and probably are just as heavy). Then again similar Mamacharis haven't been 'disappointing'.
From one the presentations of this year's WWDC, I had the impression that there may be some of Rust's ownership concepts incorporated in future versions of Swift. It would definitely be very interesting.
The writing has been on the wall for years. Never believed Uber would transition to profitability.
Thank you! May I ask for an encore?

What makes Castelvetrano olives so distinct and delicious? They are almost always a vibrant green with an apple-like crunchiness. To me this is like a completely different fruit. Is this just the genetic stock or are they prepared differently?

I put my due diligence into internet research, without satisfaction. Would love to hear from the experts.
That's less than one order of magnitude (10x), but of course the point stands.
Does losing talent and having trouble finding executives count?

No COO, CFO and CMO for such a long time means the CEO was not doing his most important job: creating a high-functioning executive team.

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-uber-leadership-gap/

You might think they're still strong in operations, but company-destroying risks rise every day the the leadership suite is in turmoil like this. And that's just internal risks: what about their competitors and antagonists?
Don't kid yourself into thinking that a majority of the public knows or even cares about the things that Uber has done. They use Uber because everyone else uses Uber and to take an "Uber" is to use a "Kleenex" or to "Google" something.
Even if my deposit had covered the gift cash, what I have got would be too much in the sense of annualized returns. They just burned incredible amount of investor's money in this campaign. It would be crucial which of them drains its revenue first/last. I guess the investors would be in favor of a merger, then.

Hi JadeBN, you're right spamgourmet is very similar to nBox. Here are a few differences:

- With spamgourmet the addresses are designed to expire after X emails, so it's intended for services you don't care about.
- Once I know one spamgourmet address, I can try to guess other addresses of yours.
- We don't ask for your personal email. If spamgourmet gets hacked, spammers will get your information.
I actually have a different take on this. I was building a side project 2 times in my past, to a point where there was some buzz around these side projects. And, I didn't have a job when I was working on these. However, as the products were nearing completion for V1. I got very good offers for contract work. I also had debts, so I took up the jobs. However, this led to the products failing to get any traction.

So, if you are planning to leave a job and have a good product which is getting you even half of the money you need. Leaving your job will only increase the chances of success. However, hanging on to the job while working on a product is going to be much harder.
> he created an awful lot of value for them

Has he though? No one who bought Uber for $70bn right now would ever get their money back, despite that being it's 'value' (I know, I must be new here). This is all just fantastical and silly, a constant game of persuading investors to play along. Unless there is some great master plan for pivoting into a business that's actually feasible as a business, he's no more a great CEO than the Wizard of Oz or Bernie Madoff.
Sounds like a cesspool. Remind me to not visit Chicago.
Happy to see this as Uber allowed and per their PR laughed at it's users' back accounts getting hacked/losing money.

I had 1k stolen from my bank account via Uber and after my research showed...

- THey knew about these hacks happening ...about ten or more people a day

- Their PR was it's the users fault for choosing a weak password vs. doing a press release letting users know they need to change their passwords and offering 2 way verification

- You could not and probably still can not outright and quickly cancel your UBer account. No you have to send a message and I waited days to severe all any ties with them.

This happened to me and 1000s of others in 2015 per my search on Twitter then. Then in 2017 you see just how horrible this organization is ... it does not give at ratz ass about anyone who is not a KalaNick bro including employees, customers, drivers.. basically all groups it needs to operate and succeed.

Still wanting it to go down in flames and my 1k back into my bank account!!!

I understand you. I have ~30.000 bookmarks. That's because I centralize everything there.
I don't like videos or music or pictures or... on YouTube, Facebook, SoundCloud,... I bookmark them.
That's less privacy issues to worry about.
I organized all my bookmarks because I am reblogging them on my different websites, so I organize them by websites.
There is SailfishOS[1]. It's real Linux. It has proprietary parts (e.g. Android drivers, UI widgets, core apps), but Jolla (the developer SailfishOS developer) has contributed a tonne to Linux on the mobile[2].

I use it as my daily phone, and I've developed apps for it, so feel free to ask me any questions.

SailfishOS should hopefully be available for the Sony Xperia X soon (within a month according to their blog posts).

You make it sound like its an option. Its not.

If your margins are razor thin. You have to be ruthless. That permeates to your culture.

It definitely reduced my frequency in driving to work. I had to walk for 30 mins on my way to work, so I preferred driving. Now it's reduced by 2/3--a ten minute bike ride. Instead of being caught in the traffic with a full bladder, I now get more exercise and get to read books on the train, even though it's packed and sweaty. I don't think my use scenario is particularly special.
I don't know, during the last decade we've had billion dollar tech companies such as Spotify, King and Klarna come out of Stockholm which isn't the largest hub in Europe.
Hi midnitewarrior, here is a post where I try to answer that (valid) concern: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/nbox/comments/483328
I know it's popular to bash on Tesla's current challenges with their Autopilot software, but I think it's a bit unfair to expect them to be back in front of the pack just yet. They had their big breakup with MobilEye in, what, September last year? Nine months is pretty quick to go from total reliance on a vendor package to a reasonably functional fully in-house system.
There had been a lot of research on this topic (just Google it), with good results.
To call Farage 'reprehensible' is fair comment though not a view I share. However calling him a 'bumbling idiot' is simply ludicrous.

After giving up a successful lucrative career in the city of London, Farage has after innumerable campaigns across the country, fulfilled what he sees as Margaret Thatcher's dream of separating Britain from Europe. Few would demur from the view that Brexit would never have happened but for Farage who meantime has been merely an MEP in the European Parliament not an MP in the UK.

Cross-post of what I wrote on /r/linux:

I definitely think Canonical bit off more than they could chew:

Mir
Not making use of existing Android drivers (I think they resolved this issue later on)
Building their own app deployment and isolation system (Snappy)
Building their own browser (although they did wisely reuse CEF, or was it WebEngine?)
Convergence

I really wanted Ubuntu Touch to succeed, I even backed the Ubuntu Edge when it was first announced.

However, I think Jolla/SailfishOS did a number of things better:

They used Wayland.
They used existing Android drivers (using libhybris).
App installation/deployment is done using regular RPM. There's currently extremely minimal app isolation. This is a very hard problem. Let the Flatpak folk solve it, then adopt it.
They used Nokia's browser (based on Gecko) and office suite (based on Calligra). These were used on the N9, which had a larger install base than all existing Linux-on-the-mobile projects.
They used a well-tested ConnMan/ofono combo (these were used on the N9, see above).
> Hope everyone's paying attention to the identity of these investors

I hope everyone pays attention to the identity of the people that invests in his next company.
That was a Gil Amelio quote, not John Scully.
Meh. If something sounds cool, but I don't fit all their "must haves", I'd still consider it worthwhile to at least talk to someone about it. Then again, they're usually the ones who contacted me first, so it's not like I have to get past the automated resume sorter.
You didn't read the post properly. There is a subsection for a version without ternary operators.
Completely agree. Uber (as a product) will turn into Lyft, rather than what should be the other way around on the merits. Uber is clearly a superior product. That is orthogonal to its quality as a company. I'm not convinced that having a good company culture requires the product to be shittier.
In my experience spamers use mostly email addreses publicly exposed (web sites, usenet, forums) and stolen address books (viruses, malware) - you can't do much about the second if that happens to your recipients.
Yet they are the only ones after the now missed Mandrake, to offer a reasonable desktop experience to the level a OS X or Windows user can expect.

If it wasn't for Ubuntu, even my travel netbook would run W10 nowadays.
Is there an issue if it's a woman?

Is Marissa Meyer the only woman y'all know?
A former travelling companion (on a long distance train trip) moved from Head of R&D for an advertising agency into working in the medical technology industry. After six months or so, he returned to his former job of head of R&D at the advertising agency. When quizzed by the staff at the advertising agency as to why he came back to such a corrupt industry. His comment was that advertising were little children in terms of corruption compared to the medical technology industry.

I had a long discussion with him about what he had seen. He made the statement that every company that he saw would increase their prices for any product that was being sold into health care by at least a factor of 10 over what they would sell the same product for to non-health care areas.

I, myself, have had other conversations with various people (in both drug companies and medical institutions) and it has been common for comments to be made as to the vast difference between drug production costs and the final retail sale prices (even taking into consideration all the development costs, I have seen some of these figures and they are, well ....).

Health care is as exorbitantly priced as legal consultations and representation and the value received is in many ways far less than what you would receive by going to Macca's.
How to reduce app development cost
Not an olive expert, but in Croatia (and probably the rest of Europe - Mediterranean) AFAIK green olives are picked in autumn, and black ones, that is full ripe ones, are picked in November and December. Those olives are used for the production of olive oil and they give the oil it's distinct golden colour... honestly, colouring olives sounds awful.
If You Want to Be Creative, Don’t Be Data Driven
Fair enough... that said, it didn't make me happy to be part of that 1%. Especially with the really short initial warranty period. Of course after I'd trashed it, a few months later there was apparently a flash/fix for the issue. My first drive was too small though (iirc 32-40gb), but man did I get use to mklink commands...
Participants and “customers” in the testing process
How did you make the switch from being a normal developer to doing AI specialist work?
That was never going to work. With self-driving cars on the horizon they will soon be forgotten about as car manufacturers start rolling out their own apps. The switching cost is too low. If Uber thought they could rely on brand recognition to dominate the market it's because they misjudged what market they were in and who the players were. Regardless of what Uber could do in the next 10 years Mercedes and BMW will still be more recognisable names and as soon as they roll out their self driving fleets and ride hailing apps Uber are history. No one will buy Uber if they can build the same thing for what is, in the grand scheme, essentially free.
I love this article's conclusion. At the end of the day it doesn't matter whether or not you believe in global warming. Fact is, the climate is literally changing and it's important to stay informed about other unexpected consequences of it so that we can all be prepared.
What's your plan for when (not if) PageDash shuts down? what happens to the data?
That's a bit of a mouthful for a ever more commonplace occurence. I propose we refer to this class of vulnerability as "k-holes".

Hi hota_mazi, I won't say that we can think up of everything but we have these two points in mind.
Ironically applies to both Kalanick & the investors!
Europe has plenty of passionate "asshole" founders and other workaholic types. The lower avg valuation of the tech scene has more to do with investors and general aversion to risk, dependency on public sector financing (really awesome but limiting in maneuverability), stronger status quo legislation, reduced VC scene and a more limited early-adopter audience for your products.
I stopped using Uber about a few months ago in favor of Lyft it's the same shit and easy to do.. I'd be surprised if they weren't losing a decent share
