Because you're trying to instigate a credentialist witch hunt. It's a business role, not a technical one. You don't need to be an accountant to be CFO either. You just need to make domain-specific business decisions that keep the CEO in power and be the public face of failure in his stead.

The internal culture there is such that revenue is prioritized over responsibility. Said culture is driven from the top. EFX stock had been rising steadily for years under Smith's direction, and we're now seeing at what cost.

Why on earth should Uber be exempt from regulations that other taxis have to comply with?
Not at all - the single "nanometers" figure has been very heavily fudged since 22nm, and different vendors fudge it differently. They're all struggling mightily at these scales (which is understandable). The number is bluster for the market (which I have less sympathy for).
It certainly isn't if you're planning to make it your career, but Uber markets driving for them as flexible and easy with little/no up-front costs.

Clearly this would affect ride-sharing companies more than taxi companies, and it's likely no coincidence.

People are weirdly positive about immigration. Are you sure you want tenaceous immigrants if they are criminals and/or seek to change the culture that you and yours live by?

I suppose we should differentiaye between illegal and legal immigrants. I'd venture to guess that, on average self selection for intelligence manifests in the form of legal immigration, while the so called "tenaceous" immigrants tend to ignore legal borders.

Before anyone accuses me of white supremacy or privilege or such nonsense, my parents were first generation legal immigrants.

Auctus to Reform the Pension Market by Adding Transparency via Smart Contracts
I pretty excited to launch today my course about Redux and MobX in React.js.

What started as an idea to write an ebook about Redux and MobX in React.js, turned out to evolve into a full blown course with a 250-page ebook, 8 source code applications and boilerplate projects to get you started, as well as 3 screencast series with me building applications from scratch and explaining these step by step for you.

I am still a bit shaky to release it today, but I would love to hear your thoughts about it.

Just insights from pattern recognition of historical time-series data that has helped me trade so I'm putting it out there.
'A feeble no may mean yes': Indian court overturns rape conviction
As others have said, biking infrastructure in NYC (and in basically all U.S. cities) is an afterthought. It's been tacked onto an environment that was totally given over to cars (rather absurdly, given New York's status as the only truly pedestrian city in the U.S.).

What you're seeing is the cyclist's attempt to navigate an environment that's directly hostile to their interests. As long as nothing about that changes, this is what it's going to look like, because I'm not going to follow rules that make no sense for my mode of travel.

With respect, of course, to the fact that this is an unpopular opinion in some circles, I'm still just not going to do it. And, crucially, I'm comfortable with the social and legal consequences of my position.

If companies are operating at a significant loss, then that's just a subsidy from their investors to the common person. I use Uber because, hey, I'm happy to take money from dumb VCs.

Why wouldn't local markets be able to correct? If Uber collapsed, people would still need to get rides from A to B. If Uber collapsed, couldn't most of us make a rudimentary ride-requesting app in short order?
More changes are coming (WebRender, etc.), but raw benchmarks are only part of the story. We focused an enormous amount of effort on improving perceived performance in Firefox 57. More events go into an idle queue, background tabs get throttled, scripts from domains on our tracking protection list get throttled even further, etc.

And as long as performance is comparable, we can compete on things like our CSS Grid inspector, or per-tab profiles ("Containers"), which I use every day to keep my personal Google account segregated from my work one, and to sandbox Facebook and LinkedIn off into their own little worlds: https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/introducing-firefox-multi-a...

What is the life expectancy of getting in a taxi and getting to your destination vs getting on a bike? Probability of surviving if you get hit by a car: being in both? The other thing this article failed to mention is that NYC implemented slower speeds for cars. Overall this is true, but safety should be a factor and bikers nor drivers obey laws. Make the fines super expensive and use that money to educate people about the rules of the road. Drives me bonkers that they collect so much money in tickets from drivers but do not educate the people about it because they want the revenue haha. So stupid.

I’d reread all senior citizens yearly. I don’t care why they drive.

Fun cab stories:

I had a cab driver on a van do 120 km/h (75mph) on an offramp I do at 60kph in a sedan.

I had to teach a cab driver how to drive on snow/ice once. As we drive on i75 (in fairness this was in Atlanta, and I grew up in Canada)

I had a (private) driver reek of alcohol

A (private) cab driver in BsAs doing long division on a piece of paper on the freeway (we had an argument over some math I did in my head)

A cab driver in the Andes had a wadfull of coca in his mouth.

Of the half dozen Greek cab rides, only one didn’t give me the run around. (I tipped him the full fare, and he refuse it until I told him it was for his honesty)
So you’re suggesting Apple isn’t optimizing their new IOS versions? My new 7+ ran like garbage with bugs everywhere and a battery that drained in half a day on IOS 11. Rolled it back and it works perfectly. Are you seriously suggesting that Apple developers are so incompetent that they managed to make IOS run substantially worse on devices as recent as the 7(+) in one single update? Their developers are either incompetent, being forced to push updates too soon, or it's deliberate. I doubt it’s the first.
I got a good laugh out of that, thanks.

Who's doing the fraud? Is it Equifax, which is in good faith recording the information provided by its customers (credit companies, banks, etc)? The credit company that is reporting in good faith to Equifax (or another CRA), but is tying it to the wrong person because an account was fraudulently opened? Is it the person who used stolen ID data to open the account? Is it the thief who originally stole the data?
“Holding” an index is the trivial part of a search engine. That’s something a single Google engineer can put together in a week (no crawler, just storing and primitive ranker).

What’s going to kill you is ranking (especially in the tail) and keeping the index fresh, including the tail. Ranking requires human input. Keeping it fresh requires some non-trivial effort in the crawler too. And then there’s also serving all of it at 1M QPS, as a prerequisite for creating enough ad revenue to sustain the effort. That requires predictive caching. As a result you get a couple thousand people working on the thing, each pulling down about $400k on average when you total everything up. That’s $800M right off the bat, unless you cut corners like Bing (cleverly) did by stealing your competitors clicks as weak relevance supervision.

Did you at any point contact your state financial services regulator or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or any other federal or state regulator?
I don't, and I don't.

When "existing standards" clearly benefit an entrenched, poorly-performing business model at the expense of an innovative, disruptive, and tech-enabled business model, those standards should be reassessed. Innovation and industry move much faster than lawmakers and regulators.

Yes. There's a whole field dedicated to this called program synthesis. The undecidability of the halting problem does not preclude program synthesis.

Moreover, what makes you think humans can solve the halting problem?
For a js developer Reactjs is far easier to pick rather then learning vue. Reactjs has few life cycle to learn rest is just javascript.
I'm with you. I have trouble seeing the actual use case for the stuff mentioned in the OP.

My primary use for Plex is for viewing on my home TV, through my Roku. All of that streaming content is already available directly on my Roku, so I'm not getting anything new by Plex subsuming it into their interface.

Secondarily, I may occasionally use Plex on my phone to access some media stored at home. But that's all I'm doing - looking for my own media. I don't see myself using it for streamed content. I mean, if I'm stuck in a hotel room or something, they all have news on the room TVs.

What we price is:

1) The heavy process of recruiting the mentors (we talk to each single one of them to gather some stories)

2) The engineers that are working on the matching algorithme so mentors and mentees enjoy the calls

3) The manual task of scheduling and rescheduling the calls with mentors and mentees (and that's a cumbersome)

4) The engineers/designers that are working on the real product that is helping the mentor and mentee to build a long, lasting relationship that will be more efficient than just networking and having coffee.

About your second point, I agree that is the main challenge. This is how we'll tackle this:

1) For each new mentor, we assess their experience by gathering stories (examples of stories here stories.platohq.com)

2) So each mentor has some specific domain of expertise / things they like to talk about

3) You're not generally good or bad, but you can help on specific things by giving advice, or at least just sharing your experience on how you approached things (and that helps)

I hope that makes sense.
The nice thing about QM is that 1 tick is a 12.50 dollar move. So its easy to cover fees. Today those were $50 profits. 2 shares moved 2 ticks. I use stops and limits of course. So my risk was about $100. Its not the same as options.
I've used portals to make modals, as they often have to be close to the root. This has had many quirks and bugs from code not expecting to be in a portal, hopefully it being a supported concept fixes this.

And vue optionally supports Jsx, so original comment or using it as a reason why ‘react sucks’ is being super pandentic. It’s ok to have multiple frameworks!
I think this is a misleading answer. It only appears that way because the React ecosystem is much bigger and tailored to more complex applications. Comparing the Vue library to the React library I find it hard to recommend one over the other -- at the end of the day they're pretty similar.
several people i've worked with graduated from respected CS programs yet could barely program their way out of wet paper bag.

I lost faith in Plex when I upgraded my server about a year ago and after testing, etc, I deleted the old container (run it in docker). I didn't find out until a few days later that FF/REW was broken. At that point I didn't have the old release around. Went to the forum and found I wasn't the only one. Problem was, they had just moved to 1.0 and they removed all previous versions from their servers. I begged to get an older one, and after a week or two I got it from another forum user. During that 2 weeks, though, FF/REW was broken on my Roku.

Yeah, now I download the .deb and build my container from a local .deb file, rather than downloading in the container. It was stupid, but I had grabbed the container build script from someone and didn't think about it until it was too late.

I'm still on a pre-1.0 release, and when the Roku client doesn't work anymore, I'll switch to Emby, or whatever is free and hot at the time.

They shouldn't be exempt.

But there's no reason for cab divers to have '35 hours of training' - the reg should be off the books.

What on earth are they trained for?

Maybe 'back in the day' knowing the city by memory was an issue - it's certainly not today.

Has the city of Mtl been receiving complaints that 'Uber drivers are getting lost?'

Not only do I feel that most consumers would give Uber a 'better service rating' (despite their 'lack of training') - but consumers have tech that enables them: Maps. Estimates. Automatic payments etc..

When it comes to issues such as 'identity' 'insurance' etc. - there's no question Uber has to be on par: cars need to be driven by registered folks, there needs to be clean insurance, safety checks on the car etc. etc..

To speak of this as 'about training' I think misses the point that this is entirely political: medallion owners want to keep the value of their medallions up, and have used a 'legal' and 'populist' angle to protect their medallion-oligarchy. That's what's going on.

I don't believe there have been significant complaints bout Uber indicating that '35 hours of training' simply is not a requirement.

And FYI - you don't need any training to open a store and offer a service - if people don't like the merchandise or quality of service they go elsewhere - that model works well. If people thought Uber was crap, they wouldn't use it.

There are possibly 'issues' with Uber, but this is not one of them.
No, it’s not like that at all. Firefox’s performance, memory usage, and UI all far outstrip Chrome’s in my browsing now; I don’t see any reason to use Chrome apart from the usual cross-browser testing, and it’s been that way for a year (?) now.

(And Firefox “forks” have always been a very good way to be behind on security patches to no benefit.)
What would you guys think of a school that allowed kids to use their cell phones if they first passed a 'build-it-yourself' course with something like this?
I'd love to hear what you think
I was just responding to the attempt to justify it on the grounds of "it's tons of metal at a high speed". If there are reasons to require additional training of taxi drivers[1] beyond what every driver gets for that very reason, then you need a more nuanced justification than "cars are heavy and fast".

[1] And I agree there are good reasons, just not ... that one. For example, that they drive a lot more often, with strangers, and with less choice over how much danger they're exposed to.
Problem is that addiction treatment is still in the dark ages. It's poorly regulated and often not evidence based.

http://healthland.time.com/2012/06/26/addiction-treatment-in...

>finds that most addiction care is administered by “addiction counselors” for whom there are no national standards of practice. It finds also that 14 states don’t require any education or licensing at all for addiction counselors. The risks to those seeking treatment can be dire: California is one of the states that allows uncredentialed providers, for example. In a recent case in that state, a sexual predator was found to be offering “intimacy therapy” to addicted teenage girls; treatment consisted of sex with him. Without oversight, there’s no way to stop people from preying on vulnerable people under the guise of addiction care.

>Only six states require addiction counselors to have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree; just one requires a master’s degree, according to the CASA report. The main qualification for treating addiction in this country is having suffered from the disorder oneself — a standard of care that would be considered absurd if any other medical condition were involved.
