Oh wow, that article is so bad.

>Uber drivers are accused of sexually assaulting or raping customers almost three times a month, according to new figures which have outraged rape campaigners.

I could point out that accusation is not proof of guilt, but that's not what's bothering me the most. My problem with this article is that no referential is provided : frequency of accusations of others cab services providers (we have a count, no frequency) ? total number of fares at Uber vs other cabs (is it more than a fifth ?) ? Or alleged sexual assaults in London for a month ?

Sometimes this bad journalism looks so deliberate...
For many years now I've used an algorithm for password generation that I keep in my head. It's pretty simple, I have a memorized string (like a traditional password), and a memorized set of rules. For example, I might have a rule where I take my password, replace the first character with the first character of the product (a for Amazon), and replace the last letter with the type of product I'm using (s for shopping).

I have a significantly more complex algorithm than that, but you get the idea.

Every password I have is different, but they're all trivial to remember. This isn't super hardcore security, but it helps me have like 40 passwords that are all different.
I think you'd see a significant improvement now with Ryzen 7 or threadripper. Unless you spent >$3k on your rig ;)
This is basically my observation too. That it seems hard to distinguish it from "smart & fancy algoritms". The marketing and hype around it do however imply that it's much more a path to intelligence proper, hence the question above.

In most cases, it is a violation of trust. There's a difference between an open relationship and someone violating your trust. Monogamy isn't based on ownership, it's based on trust. Open relationships are fine, but you should have willing partners.

3) Are typically petrol (gas) rather than diesel, and are often hybrids (less pollution).

Edit: Not significantly smaller, as pointed out below 4) Are typically more compact than a black cab - take up less road space

So no, it's not about congestion in that sense. What the author appears to be suggesting is that there are more cars on the road plying for the same trade, and the more journey miles taken in an Uber, the more idle time a black cab will spend waiting to be hailed - either congestion on the road, or congestion in the taxi ranks.

However, if that were the true ulterior motive, that could be applied to any car service that competes with black cabs, not just Uber.
This articles is a fantastic, real world overview of cooperative and preemptive multitasking.

> Since I believe that the male sex drive is bigger than that of women...

Your belief is not borne out by data. And for a long period in the West the opposite was the common belief.

In some countries like contemporary Iran, sex education includes the pleasure, needs and in-the-bed sexual equality of both partners (in Iran’s case to try to preserve conservative marriage and increase procreation — obviously there is not equality OUTSIDE the bed)
Infidelity is as natural as taking a shit. I think we're culturally indoctrinated to get worked up over infidelity, less so for defecating.

It can matter for legal reasons. Like what legal rights come with recognition of the relationship.
Yeah, it might be able self discovery, but it might be about enacting a narcissistic fantasy. The author is right, you reconstruct yourself in the other's gaze, you slake your thirst with the other's mouth. But what kind of self are you constructing here? And what power will your own fantasies have over the person with whom you conduct the affair?

Thankfully eventually IDEs started to be a thing on GNU/Linux as well, starting with KDevelop and Anjunta.
Thank you for saying this. I just want to add how this becomes super hard in an early stage startup. People underestimate how hard it is to translate company goals to engaging team projects, when a startup is in a lot of flux. The goal post moves so much. It's super super hard to keep an eye on the goal post, translate that goal to the team, and a couple of weeks later tell the team that no the earlier tasks are no longer valid, here's a new set. Rinse repeat until you hit PMF.

> vs. black cabs which drive around for an average of 25 mins waiting to be hailed

I'm not from London, but where I'm from, cab drivers don't "drive around" until the next ride. That's a terrible waste of gas. We have special reserved parking for them, usually close to places of interest (next to bus stations, malls, etc.). This is one of the reasons there is a limited number of licenses available per city. Uber drivers can't use these parking slots.

How about the fact that black cabs wait to be hailed longer period of times because people choose Uber drives, thus adding more cars on the road instead of using the ones that are already there?

In the UK there is no legal requirement that someone knowing a crime has occurred to report it to the police.

Uber seem to be reporting crimes where they are the victim (the article says they report a lot of small fraud) but not crimes where others are the victim.

Which leaves an interesting thinking experiment: would Uber report a murder? The victim obviously can't report it. It would be illegal for Uber to do anything to assist the murderer in escaping the law, e.g. by cleaning the car etc; but would they actually report it?

I personally own an entry-level Early 2013 Retina MacBook Pro with a i5/HD4000, and the iterative improvements they made with each major release really shine through. A machine that was previously described in every single review as underpowered on that department especially WRT Mission Control can now handle any number of windows I throw at it at a steady 60fps, including those blurs and transparencies which I previously had to disable back in the day, and even when compiling, say, GHC. As an extra bonus, the maximum video RAM on that machine was offset from 1024MB to 1536MB at some point (either Mavericks or Yosemite). Similarly, the Mid 2014 one (i7/HD5000) I use at work can handle the main display as well as external screens (including an ultrawide) without breaking a sweat. So much for planned obsolescence.

5) Don't drive in bus lanes (black cabs can and do drive in most bus lanes; other cars cannot, regardless of number of passengers).
The implication is that the subsidised fares Uber offers are leading more people to use individual road transport.

Why do people frame this as "Uber vs Black Cabs"?

That completely misses out on the wider context of transport in London as a whole.
I think it's reasonable to go after the people who essentially brag about breaking the rules. If you shine a light on your own questionable activities, don't be surprised by the consequences.

When I look at polygamous/polygynous societies today and in history, I'm not sure I see "social progress."

In fact, for whatever its pitfalls may be, it appears that monogamy solves a large number of social ills that are perhaps larger than polygyny's own. Like large bands of males cast out with no prospects, so they resort to not-so-progressive behavior.

Like the vikings: 'Polygyny created a pool of unmarried men motivated to engage in risky behavior to increase wealth/status/prob of entering marriage market'

Or certain other religions and tribal areas that may promote such behavior today as a side ffect, which may promote other lost boys to, I don't know, join ISIS in hope of getting some of those dear wives of their own too, one way or the other.

Perhaps you file this under "not my problem." Maybe its not your problem, but it definitely presents a social problem, and you're suggesting that poly-* may be social progress. I don't think that plays out in history.

As someone looking to learn web design for my personal site too, from what I can see Bootstrap and similar frameworks aren't really needed provided you're willing to learn all the tech utilised by them and do it from scratch yourself, either for learning purposes or because you prefer to avoid frameworks for some other reason.

The frameworks exist for professional web designers who don't want to redo the same stuff over and over, and want code with maximum browser compatibility and covering edge cases, bullet-proof and so on - not goals that you would probably prioritise when just starting out learning or creating hobbyist sites.

I'm considering using a CMS or a WYSIWYG editor too, but the prospect of creating a minimal, semantically rich and modern site in HTML5/CSS3, is too tempting to not spend the time learning the ropes. Besides, efficient use of these CMS/editors themselves take fair bit of effort, which we might as well employ to learn the foundations, or so I feel. :-)
For me it's the battery. Having to charge a watch every 24-48 hours is a complete non-starter, regardless of its functionality. I don't want to carry more cables or charging stations with me wherever I go. It's the single-most point of stress, especially when I travel.

If the battery lasted 7-10 days, it would be perfect. That's about how long my business trips take, so I could charge it to full beforehand and not worry about it at all during the trip.

Traditionally the primary function of relationships is raising children, and monogamy is good at that. I don't see how shifting the focus from what is basically the foundation of our society towards doing what is fun and rewarding in the short term is a sign of social progress.

That's not too accurate:

> when Intel couldn't match AMD's TDP, they came up with some different TDP definition, as a result the 165w TDP Intel 7980xe draws 15w more than a 180w threadripper 1950x.

So far it was AMD which had a weird way to calculate the TDP, and it was them that went over while with Intel TDP pretty much equaled max power draw. That Intel now goes over is clearly a sign that they are stressing their boundaries and the of their architecture, but it's not really a big distinction against AMD.

> In 5 years, even amateur photographers won't be using DSLRs, at the rate smartphone computational photography is improving.

I call BS, if by "amateur photographers" you're talking about enthusiasts who care about composing and exposing a great shot, not just taking a nice picture of the kids in front of the Christmas tree. It's like someone in 2012 saying "at the rate smartphone input apps are progressing, in 5 years no-one will buy physical keyboards for their computers."

The reason someone carries a DSLR today is because of the optics, the speed and the control mechanisms. Having shutter speed, aperture, white balance etc. at your fingertips when shooting. Having the ability to switch from a 105mm portrait lens to a 20mm fisheye. Having that rapid autofocus and response time that lets you capture great shots. Having 14 bit RAW files that you can post-process to save that reflex once-in-a-lifetime shot that was underexposed. Having the ability to mount a flash off-camera (or even three strobes). Those are things you can never get on an iPhone or Samsung.

Nikon, Canon etc. have already "bled dry" of customers going to smartphones instead of DSLRs, and at this point their business models look fairly stable. The share price of both companies has also been fairly stable for the past 3-4 years; both are up 30% over the past year, although that (and a lot of their volatility) is tied to the JPY:USD exchange rate.
Of course the same scrutiny is applied to all players. The fact that Uber chooses to respond by launching a petition, rather than attempting to comply with the regulation that every other minicab company in London complies with says much more about Uber than it does about TfL.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat as OP. I thoroughly understand the tech stack and even the modern wave of npm build tools. Where I am completely lost is if you ask me to match a comp. Like what do I with Photoshop or Sketch and how do design CSS rules to make it real?

> 4) Are typically more compact than a black cab - take up less road space

I thought "that can't be right, black cabs aren't all that big". And a quick search suggests that a Prius and a TX4 black cab are pretty much the same length - 454cm (Prius) vs 458cm (cab).

The black cab is 18cm wider, which may make a difference, although length seems the more significant dimension here. And black cabs are much taller of course.

I wouldn't recommend it. You'll likely want to move away from SendGrid for transactional email in the future (I wrote a whole article about it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15329869). If you are going to get locked-in to a provider, just save yourself the trouble and put your transactional stuff on Postmark.

There are other services for abstracting away your templates and transactional logic. For example SendWithUs.com. Also check out Litmus.com. Or wait for my product!

I don't think you could be more wrong.

Quote from the Mayor:

“I want companies that abide by the rules, I want companies that innovate, harbour new technologies, I want disruptive technology coming to London but you’ve got to play by the rule,” he said. Khan stressed the decision over Uber’s licence had been taken by experts at TfL and should not be subject to political interference, when asked whether he would have talks with the company.

Costs of production rarely determine prices directly for any product - beyond setting the baseline from which the margin measures on. Market dynamics tend to do the rest (competition, market position, etc). Intel plays a role in it but not always.

There may be some that are down to the wire per unit cost (typically the cheaper ones) but I have a feeling Intel operates with plenty of margin on most of their higher end products. And plenty of them are the same chip repackaged.
Hasn't that always been the case?

> An abstract type has a single representation, determined by the type's implementor, which is hidden from the rest of the program.

So, like:

<T> foo(A<T> a, B<T> b) { ... }

You don't know what `T` is, but you know that `a` and `b` are parameterized by the same type.

> Then it isn't.

That it's not completely typesafe (Scala isn't, either, BTW) doesn't mean that it's not completely safe. The vague notion of safety is not defined by the arbitrary notion of type safety, which heavily depends on the type system. TCL is typesafe, but few would say it's safer than Java.

> But very few people would consider that a useful meaning: if you run into it, your program plainly has a bug.

There are many more plainly incorrect behaviors that aren't prevented even when the language is 100% type safe (depending on the type system, and the effort required to encode the correctness conditions) -- as Java prior to generics was, BTW. So if you want to define "safe" as "typesafe", that's fine, but given than ML's and Java's type systems are of similar (not identical, but similar) richness (i.e., they are both simple type systems with parametric polymorphism), and given that you don't actually run into `ClassCastExceptions` in Java unless you choose to do stuff that can get you into that sort of trouble (which would mean ignoring compiler warnings), I think the two languages offer a similar level of safety.
As a mathematician, I agree. But when you talk with people that work in the applications, they usually have weird definitions.

In particular, in this book they don't use $Z_2$ that is the usual notation in math (at least here). They use $C_2$ that is more usual in physics. And for the selection of the groups I guess the author has some interest in crystallography.

Greyball seems like the one aspect of this that contextualizes the rest of the reasons for the non-renewal. If you're an operator and you fail to get right by local rules, you might mea culpa and fix it, or work within the system provided by the authority to do better. In this case, TfL were made aware that an operator had operationalized a program designed to help them skirt regulation, which could have inspired some prejudice when it came down to the decision.

On a broader note, as with all Uber discussions, we will get to the pained point of unfair treatment of Uber by incumbents and regulators. Contrast that with the general SV ethos that one should break the rules to win. Given both of those, would it be fair to say that Uber getting chided and blocked here (and there, and there, and there) is an indication that maybe they're not that good at breaking rules? In other words, who is out there succeeding who is under the radar and is not being scorned for a cavalier approach to rule-breaking?
