I've recovered a lost phone by providing a taxi cab number to the dispatcher who sent the cab back out to my location. I was ready to compensate them for the extra trip, but they didn't accept payment. That's something that simply isn't possible with Uber or Lyft.
Or Bernie Sanders. But it was "Hillary's turn", and here we are.
But it didn't drive up the complexity. It drastically simplified how a lot of features work. C++ is very difficult to master not because of the number of features in the language (it really isn't even all that featureful compared to other modern languages) but because of the thousands of unexpected details you have to know. Scott Meyers made a career out explaining them (and implored D not to make the same mistake of needing someone like him). That doesn't mean the overarching feature can't be implemented in a simple way that avoids the unintended complexity though. Anybody you ask with knowledge of both D and C++ would say that D's metaprogramming facilities are both drastically easier and more powerful than what C++ offers, for instance. It's actually shocking how much you need to know to fully understand things like template/regular type deduction (which aren't the same), initialization, rvalue behavior, forwarding references (or is it universal references...they came up with the feature before they gave it a name), what is constexper-able, reference collapsing, etc. These things are all straightforward in D because they were either designed without the edge cases and legacy behavior or left out entirely because the problem was tackled in a different, more simple way at a fundamental level.
Giving out detailed info just because somebody calls and says "he stole from me" would be a violation of privacy and if Uber acted this way it would be vulnerable to basic social engineering. Involvement of the police makes it more substantial, but not enough alone - you can just tell the police "he stole from me", get the info, and then tell them "oh, it was a misunderstanding, never mind" and the police would never bother to verify what happened. OTOH, if there's a warrant, that means you testified under the penalty of perjury it happened, and then if you lied, you can be prosecuted, so it is a barrier most social engineers won't want to clear.

However, if Uber claimed they can not do the lookup, that would be a lie. They definitely can, they may not want to do it for some reasons (e.g. that may be sued by the driver if it turns out it was a scam on the part of the passenger, and maybe even in case it's even a simple misunderstanding - people have been suing for less), but no question they can. If they lied to the police and the court, that would be a huge mistake.
For a minute.
Unfortunately job ads imply than many places prefer the former.
Iosevka is also parametric, but fixed for a given TTF, as far as I can tell.

If we reach that point I would prefer to see people vote for government to construct new automated production facilities and provide their benefits to the people. Rather like how I think that voters should be able to vote for a government owned power plant, sewage treatment plant, library, broadband provider, etc. but I don't think they should be able to vote to seize the nearest privately owned book store for conversion to a public library.

If you build public facilities in parallel there's no unjust seizure of existing assets. (Some people will complain that it's unfair to allow the government to do anything at all that could reduce the profitability of existing private assets, but I don't think that those people make up a prohibitive share of the population.)
Attention women! You must all desire to be startup entrepreneurs at the same rate as men! Thus current disparity is unacceptable to your betters!

> I don't know when OSI's definition became mainstream. The first time I heard open source, it meant the same as what you said. Nowadays you have to use a different term for that.

The notion that the phrase "open source" started out with broader definition but was later revised by OSI is itself revisionism.

OSI's definition is important because the phrase "open source" originates with the folks behind OSI—the term did not exist before 1998 when they created it. The phrase resulted from a public awareness effort leading up to the release of the Mozilla code on March 31, because the only alternative that had legs at the time was the FSF's term "free software", which had marketability problems. A few months later, a bunch of those involved in the brainstorming session where "open source" was coined went on to start the OSI as an advocacy group primarily concerned with:

a) marketing the term "open source" to get the public to adopt it en masse

b) advocating for the adoption of open source ideals themselves

To sum up, there has never been a time when "open source" meant something besides how the OSI defined it, except for sloppy usage in instances of someone co-opting the OSI's term but not their definition for it.

(Disagree with whether it's a good definition or not, but telling history and facts wrong is something to be avoided.)
>Your expensive rent, you can thank AirBNB for that

My rent was expensive for years before AirBnB came on the scene. AirBnB might put some slight upward pressure on rents in markets with a lot of tourism, but it pales in comparison to the simple fact that supply does not meet demand. Thank the zoning regs and lack of transit investment in less-urban parts of your metro area.
I think you'd have to measure "common sense reasoning" first. With NLP you can have accuracy/precision scores. With common sense it's almost equivalent to "what you need to beat the turning test" and not easily measured. I think if you get that part you essentially have the NLP. In that those last few percent error of NLP are generally "common sense" issues.
Ultimately, Uber did not want to establish a precedent for liability. What they should have done is settled for $4,000 and forced the victim to sign an NDA, ensuring that this little conflict remained private.

Instead, in usual Uber fashion, the legal and HR team worked their magic and created a lose-lose-lose situation for themselves:

1. They established precedent for liability;

2. They obstructed justice, which could be used as fodder in subsequent lawsuits; and

3. They did nothing to prevent this story from being broadcasted far and wide.
If you add:

@safe:

at the top of your code, it'll be memory safe (excluding issues which we plug 'em when we find 'em). I wouldn't say that makes it fundamentally different from Rust. What is fundamentally different from Rust is the approach D uses to implement memory safety.
Great comments.

1. See my reply to theamk above
2. The padding is good, but it needs to be the exact same size for all packets, which implies always using the biggest size.
3. See my reply to theamk above.

We are expecting to run over unreliable networks that may have intermittent dropouts, so connection based solutions would require repeatedly reestablishing the connections, which would be cumbersome. The replay attack protection only exists within a connected sequence.

Overall we think that our solution is simpler and less error prone to configure, and can operate over a wider range of conditions than existing solutions with fewer constraints.
I have a corollary to this:

Women who manage to stay in tech for a long time tend to have a level of passion that let them put up with the amount of bullshit that they have been given in the past (and present).

Find me a woman, who does engineering, who has been doing it for 10+ years (15 even better) and odds are you have someone who LOVES what they do! Odds are this is going to show up in quality of work product and better general understanding.
Personally I don't think super cuztomizability is that important for me. I prefer to have an out of the box solution with ready-made decks but being able to create my own decks is definitely a nice plus. My favorite aspects going through the app (learning Turkish) is the beautiful and intuitive design. Spaced repetition might sound a bit daunting, but completely got it once I started using the app. Well done, this is definitely something I will use daily and that will improve my learning.
My point, which both of you appear to have missed, is that we're not actually talking about taxis at all. Taxis are things you hail by flagging them down on the street. They're still there, driving around in circles looking for you, just like before. You're just not using them any more.

We're talking about something called livery cars which have existed forever and were also very widely used before Uber as well. You used to arrange for pickup using your phone. You still arrange for pickup using your phone.

The car, the driver, and the laws surrounding both are essentially the same as they were before. What's actually changed is your phone.

This distinction is quite different in cities that aren't New York, where there were taxis and nothing else, and Uber has in fact created a new category of private car transportation service. But here in NYC the non-taxi car service market segment existed already and was vibrant, the parent comment claiming they broke some kind of monopoly is just incorrect.

> I get that big companies are not your friend, but is it really necessary to wage total war by using all possible legal advantages and issuing ultimatums?

I think when you're facing a large entity and their thousands of dollars per billable hour legal team, it makes sense to leverage any advantage you can.
Can my post get "unflagged" now?
Wow. You are callus and uncaring. You probably think it could never happen to you because you're one of the good ones.

I bet if you are ever on the receiving end of a false accusation you will be singing a different tune. You will be shouting from the hilltops about the unfairness of it all, suing the company and accuser for defamation and writing blog posts to tell your side of the story, because even a mere accusation could ruin your entire career and your personal life. Your spouse, kids, neighbours, friends, business partners, customers will see this accusation attached to your name and wonder if there's truth to that.

This situation played out exactly as I described with a noted feminist activist, Richard Carrier, who had the exact perspective you did until he got accused of harrassment.

Good luck to you.
GrubHub doesn't provide the drivers. They facilitate orders. They don't have anything to do with who delivers.
Honestly no because I wasn't sure what the process is for that.
So basically you're saying "tipping is optional, but if you don't, I'm going to think less of you as a person". Which is the same thing as saying "if you want to live in 'polite' society, tipping is required".

The problem is that when you see someone not tipping, you have no idea why. Perhaps that person received horrifyingly bad service. Perhaps that person is morally opposed to the practice. Or perhaps that person is just a cheapskate. You don't know, and putting that into your "mental calculus" is just you projecting your own feelings onto a situation for which you have very little factual information.

I'm not picking on you in particular; the majority of people in the US behave exactly the same way. And that's why tipping is mandatory, never optional.
There was no stealing involved, but I had a somewhat relevant experience a few months back. My grandmother was visiting me (in New York City) and accidentally left her pocketbook in a taxi that we took. After a long time of googling to try to figure out how to contact the cab company, I found out from a concierge at her hotel that there was a specific number you could dial to reach some sort of help line for the city (I think it was "311", but I'm not positive). I called the number and after listening to a recording for several minutes, I reached a point where I could speak a term and have it give me info on it. After saying "New York City cab company" or something like that, it gave me the option to give them a tax number so and they'd give me the number of the company. Luckily, I had paid for the cab with my credit card, and my bank app had the cab number in the transaction, so I was able to get the number for the company. After calling them, I got the number of the garage, who then gave me the cell number of the driver. I called him, and it turned out that he had heard us try to call the phone earlier (but couldn't get to the phone in time and couldn't unlock the phone to find the number to call us back at), so he went back to the spot where he had dropped us off to try and find us. He came back to meet us at the hotel, and we got the pocketbook back (and gave him a nice tip for his trouble).

From what I understand, cab companies acknowledge liability for their drivers, so they'd be much more inclined to take action against unscrupulous drivers. It seems plausible that people who want to use the pretense of driving others around to steal things from their passengers would be much less likely to want to driver for such a company, so I wouldn't be surprised if my experience with a driver willing to go out of their way to return items is much more common with taxis than Uber.
I do wonder why some folks remember those days through rose colored glasses. Humans confuse me.

It happens with other things. People say cars were better. Nope. Life was better. Probably not. Etc...
I'm not really sure what this adds to programming as a practice, other than another way to represent expression trees. Building trees from data has never been the hardest point of building a programming language. The semantics of said expressions/statements are where the rubber meets the road.

To be fair, it is much easier to program using trees, and they make metaprogramming more managable, but I suspect that the effects this has had on things like Ohayo and the like are more related to the benefits of building a DSL, and less to the ETN structure itself.

Still, if you've managed to build a good visual tree editor, kudos. That is a problem that takes some consideration to get right.

Bandwidth shouldn't be an issue here, although this is a side project (so I realise money is limited), from experience you can send and receive roughly 200-400 images per second for every $5/month you spend.

Is it?

"It was later asserted that they reached out to the police detective to clear this up. They found the information and tried to contact the detective with all the information."

"If you are curious as to when this happened, it was April 9th. Uber did everything in their power to make the investigation successful and cooperate with the detective, on April 9th, 2017, four months after the incident. They also only reached out to the detective with the correct information once they were caught obstructing the investigation."

How exactly did Uber obstruct the investigation? What incorrect information did they give? Maybe I'm thick, but it's not clear to me at all from the article.

People have been going to the slack asking for data scientist to sell them their tokens. Bidding was up to around $20/coin.

The main point, though, is that data scientists don't have to sell the coin. They can stake coin against their models to earn additional USD. If their model performs better than chance, then they get their NMR back to stake the next round. If they are also competitive wrt confidence in their consistency then they also get some additional prize money that is only available to staking participants.

If they are overconfident and do not do better than chance then the coin they staked is destroyed.
You haven't been paying attention to rents pre-AirBNB or you do not live in a city that has a tight supply of housing.
#3 is actually a neat way for them to skirt insider trading laws. Insider trading is only illegal if you know that the information is material nonpublic (and a few other requirements). IANAL, so happy to be corrected if I'm missing something.
I get that the court process is the main part of the story, but I still can't believe that you left $4k worth of equipment in the car with a stranger. I guess I'm just much more paranoid. Also, that's how I view taxi drivers as well as Uber/Lyft drivers. Sure there are some protections like background checks and tracking, but at the end of the day it is a stranger we don't know, and anything could happen, so we probably should at least be a bit hesitant.
You're moving the goalposts in this discussion. We're talking about doing away with long held ideas of what Justice means.

I think this has lots of potential. I have thought before that if I could make two changes to Slack (which I already think is pretty great), they would be:

1. Hitting "Enter" doesn't send the message. This encourages writing actual paragraphs in response, rather than sending fragments of sentences

that can be interrupted across multiple lines

because you're not really sure if you've finished your sentence just yet

oh and you thought of one more thing so everyone else please take this line into consideration as well

Of course, you might say "train your team to not do that." Sure. But I'd rather use a tool that doesn't require breaking (perhaps reasonable) habits. And if communication shouldn't be through short bursty chunks by default, why make that the easiest thing to do?

2. Make threads more of a default way to respond, and make thread comments first-class citizens. Presented with the UX of Slack, it's really hard to move yourself towards using threads because the easiest way to respond to things is to type and hit enter. Also, threads live in their own "All threads" space, not organized by channel. Thread comments aren't first-class citizens like regular chat is because they can't have files attached, be posts or snippets, etc, so sometimes it feels like I actually _lose_ functionality by starting a thread.

Twist looks like it has what I love about Slack – good for newbies to join in and see organized, curated history (I can't show new folks _my_ inbox labels and organization, or spin up a new channel on a mailing list for each topic we want to discuss), good for lurking on projects that aren't your own but are related, and has emoji responses for celebration, quick feedback, and commiseration.

> I get that big companies are not your friend, but is it really necessary to wage total war by using all possible legal advantages and issuing ultimatums?

Initially, no. By the time you're in a court of law, yes. Once you file suit - small claims or not - discussion time is over. If you make that decision prematurely, that's not great, but there's no taking it back except by dismissing the suit, which would have been a mistake.
Just like it would be careless if the telecoms started sending your web traffic to governments. Or how careless it would be if Google started snooping into your email. Or how careless it would be if phone companies let someone else listen in on your calls and texts.

It's a good thing those never happened either.
I don't think a CEO knows what happens in such a large company at the level of individual employees.

If he didn't know what HR was up to, perhaps he wasn't the director in charge of HR? You can't expect a CEO to know 100% of what's happening in a larger company.

> And... exactly nobody I've read here or anywhere else has asserted that. If you want to argue, do so in good faith.

> ... managed HR's nonresponse to it.

your quote seems to imply that he went out of his way to make sure HR did nothing about the harassment. I'd be inclined to argue incompetence (or just a lack of ground-level micromanagement) over malice.
I think Prototypo demonstrates the parameterization is possible, but typically (for now) font weights are distinct fonts. Sometimes boldness or italics can be naively faked, but it's usually not pretty.

True.

It's just a bit odd to me that the driver wouldn't think to update the plate number in the app, or that uber/lyft would be so slow to update it.

I doubt it's a human in the cloud who sees a notification that a driver would like to update their plate number and then adds it to a queue to work on.
The guy only got $4K. Retaining a lawyer for just that amount wouldn't be worth it, would it? I have no clue how small claims works and how likely it is to have attorney fees be included if you win like you mentioned. The guy had to fly back to Boston again for the second time around. He'd also likely have spent some money in Boston like getting around. None of that was included in the final amount either. I'm not sure if a lawyer or someone more in the know how of how small claims/courts work would have been able to get it. And even if you can, how easy is it to get it.

Agree on the mistake of giving Uber all the info. The guy was trusting Uber not to be as scummy as they ended up being. I'm sure he has learned his lesson and next time regardless of company, especially once lawsuit stuff has come into play, will do what you said:

> What he should have done was say "we can discuss this in court, or you can make me whole now and avoid that," and NOTHING else.
You would never do that. You probably wouldn't commit any of the other extremely common typographical/design sins out there either, and yet the web is awash in ugly design.
Oh, wait!
