Isn't this the same guy who said terrorism is “part and parcel of living in a big city”[1]? Yeah forgive me for trusting Uber more than him. Violent terrorists killing innocents is all fine, attacks have become a monthly affair in London. But oh my! How dare Uber flout our ridiculous anti-people taxi regulations and charge people a reasonable fare?!

Also, quoting the Mayor doesn't prove anything. He has veto power over TFL, he can tell them to do anything. Your argument is just an appeal to authority, in this case an authority with a huge conflict of interest and a proven track record of not giving a fuck about common citizens.

Their CEO Stewart said of the last round "we should because it's cheap right now".
At least in part: Because Uber frames it as "Uber vs Black Cabs".
It's certainly a personal decision, and I agree that there is no reason to make negative value judgments about two consenting adults deciding to uphold a (happy) monogamous remationship model. But the overwhelming dominance of this particular model is what seems suspect to me. Do all these people really prefer monogamy? Or rather, why do they? It seems very likely that it is due to societal pressure / 'conditioning' rather then 'authentic' personal preference. But this is of course nearly impossible to test.

I do not think it's 'selfish' to follow a monogamous relationship style. To make a somewhat contentious analogy, I wouldn't condemn people for being gay either (or for being straight for that matter). However it seems important that these various types of relationships are genuinely possible without stigma etc. In the case of hetero/homo/... -sexuality it's obvious that there is a biological mechanism behind the dominance of heterosexuality. In the case of 'open' relationships (especially in the case of a 'monogamous love, polygamous sex' -type relationship this is a lot less clear. If it turns out that this is not simply due to 'practicality' (or innate biology) it seems overly restrictive as a social norm. One might even say 'opressive' (in the sense that Prohibition arguably was, not trying to equate this with racism/..)

No. Application access to the keychain is restricted via an API with a (supposedly) robust security model behind it, for precisely this reason. Applications must explicitly be granted access to the keychain. There should have been a prompt requesting keychain access.
Phones are very much unlike PCs in a lot of important ways.

First, is that phone users value weight and size above all else. Regardless of what that means to each individual user, it does mean that any design compromises will need to come out favorably for weight/size considerations. Modular phones have been released, but they largely failed because they provided very little benefit for the added weight/size. Phones absolutely must be integrated devices as a result (i.e. no modular components, making them impossible to repair).

Second is that because of the above, basically every chip in a phone is a custom SoC. So not only do you have to support many flavors of devices, you also have to support different flavors of SoCs, often used in different ways in different devices. This isn't insurmountable with the right driver repository structure, but good luck getting vendors to update those drivers.

Third, I don't exactly know what benefits a less restrictive OS ecosystem would provide. Apple's App Store rules are not insane (there are so many bad actors out there, the curation is a huge benefit to users); and if you ever want to run programs that aren't "blessed" by Apple, you can buy a $99 developer license, sign the binaries yourself and sideload them through XCode. Could it be easier? Sure, it could. But it's realistically an edge case, and Apple is focused on the main use cases.

I don't think you've quite understood my last comment.

It's not really about men being high earners or having some sort indefinable social capital that makes women "marry up" in most examples of polygynous cultures AFAICT, it's literal force. It's not women choosing to marry the man with the most power or wealth, it's cultural and religious forced marriage, on threat of ostracism, familial disgrace or much worse.

Yes, it is a problem caused by patriarchy, they tend to be highly patriarchal societies, the ones where men routinely have more than one wife.
As tempting as it is, the project I have in mind will be time consuming, so the devoted time is probably best spent generating content - in my case.

Like you, I am sorely tempted to undertake an in-depth learning. Years ago, I wrote a comprehensive HTML tutorial. It covered the entire spec. Of course, that was v. 2.0, so it's hardly valid today.

It touched on CSS, the tutorial, but I'm not sure it was even a complete standard back then. I think it was just a single page in my tutorial.

My, how times change.

Ask HN: How do you learn?
Every month there is a new technology that is instantly tagged as the "future". It seems that technology taught in a regular CS classroom will probably be outdated by the time the student actually gets out there to apply the knowledge. Python, then Node JS, then Go, React..

This is not a rant, in fact it may be a good thing that there are more options available now than ever when it comes to building things. The fact that we're building good tools to build things is also amazing. But my question is, how do you guys approach learning?

There are two types of learning, for finding employment and just to explore. I do both. My system for learning revolves around reading roughly 20% of a book, going through 20% of an online tutorial or course, giving up because I have a short attention span, and restarting multiple times.

How do you learn new technologies quickly, in a scenario where you may not be in a position to commit +100-200 hours to actually learning it and just want to try something cool over the weekend or so?
Yeah of course it is tricky, I haven't suggested that it would be easy. But for it to work everyone ivolved have to be very open as individuals, strong in communication and I think that may help.
I saw a documentary once called "Brain Sex" and as I remember it, in the days before HIV/AIDS, it wasn't unheard of for some gay men to have 1,000 sexual partners in a lifetime.

I'm sure that this has changed dramatically over the past 30-35 years.
> You can argue that accepting both meanings may lead to dangerous miscommunication

When could using "less" instead of "fewer" cause danger?
I'm not saying they have to allow that, I'm just saying that's what it would take them to "neutralize" the threat of their business model for users (and become as trustworth as Apple).
Hah, oh ok. Sorry for asking you such a nonsense question.

But my most recent query was about 'how did you respond so quickly' as in are you literally refreshing the page or do you have some kind of notification system for comments?
>The reason someone carries a DSLR today is because of the optics..

LOL, I was not sure of which usage of optics was intended here, had to read the whole sentence.
An interesting subplot in the culture of sexual fidelity is (IMO) the cultural promotion of multiple sequential relationships.

The most culturally acceptable middle class sex life today involves a series of monogomous relationships. We're encouraged to start young with practice relationships (ideally stopping short of "real sex") for teenagers, which are expected to end. Then, a variety of relationships ranging from one nighters to multi-year relationships anyone from the past would have called marriage. Variety is generally valued. Then Marriage(s).

My GreatGrandmother would have raised eyebrows at all this.

Even though sexual norms have radically shifted during this time, our view of fidelity remained kind of static. Promiscuity good, infidelity bad.

The culture surrounding sex is among the most complex in the human repertoire, but such a shift on promiscuity without a shift on infidelity seems like an oddity of our culture, probably a short term one.
I'm sorry, it is conditionally worded and is grounded in my personal experiences. You can have your view, but don't sling ignorant insults. Perhaps try to show me why it is wrong? Or perhaps open your mind as to why someone might think it is the case.

Just read the operator guidelines and compliance guidelines. They appear to be obliged to fully investigate all complaints and resolve them within 6 months and to keep full records for a further 6 months after that date.

I suspect the police and regulators' interpretation is that they (Uber) cannot possibly investigate sexual offences and so the only correct handling of such a complaint is to immediately notify the police.

But you are correct... the phrasing is ambiguous in the guidelines. But then... UK law :) everything is ambiguous and the default is whatever a "reasonable person" (typically a judge and jury, but in this case the regulator themselves) would interpret the guidelines as being.
They pa{y,id} contractors well last year but IIRC they were drastically reducing their use due to new tax regulations or something.
There are apps like ProCam that take RAW images and save them to the camera roll, they sync over iCloud Photo Library without issue. I think the normal user is just fine with JPEG or HEIF and the space savings are more important, so Apple has kept it out of Camera.app.
They can have time with either me or themselves. I guess kids would complicate things a lot but hopefully I can manage to avoid that part.
The "unsigned" part is irrelevant. All apps run with the same default permissions once you tell them to run. "Unsigned" just means you have to allow it to run the first time, depending on how you configured Gatekeeper, by right-clicking and choosing "Open."

In my experience, the job market for mobile is significantly smaller, at least in my neck of the woods. Also, working for someone else, even as a contractor isn't ideal. Ideally we would want to own our own product, but as the article states, that's no longer a cottage industry.
> but as a company it has the responsibility to take every claim seriously, and ensure law enforcement is involved,

I disagree. Customers expecting this results in the awkward situation we're in today. If instead we train people to rely on themselves (and the police), many of these situations could be avoided (or, at least, resolved in a better way).
So sell a real product that people honestly need and want, that can't get outsourced to another country, and cannot be copied cheaply.

I was half expecting you to come back "Of course not, the very idea !!!?!"

Seriously, if that seems like something you're interested in, there are a lot of people out there who agree with you, of both/all genders, many who are bisexual as well. Look up some local poly meetups, there are lots around (though you may have more luck finding them in major cities). Best of luck.
Furthermore, it's supposed to ask about each item the app wants to access. You can see this in Keychain Access. Pick a password, inspect it, click the Show Password box, and a prompt will appear asking you to authorize it before it'll show you anything. That's part of the Keychain API, not something special to Keychain Access.
"The goal of the congestion charge is not to make money off cars in London - it's an attempt to reduce the number of cars in London."

Surely the goal of the congestion charge is to, you know, reduce congestion. One way would be to reduce the number of cars simultaneously on the road during periods of congestion. Excluding black cabs from this incentive structure does a disservice to Londoners.
No, she was pretty smart and sort of obese. She got in shape during the time period and was normal weight by the time she quit.
According to the article, the victims were under the impression that Uber would report it to the police as part of their investigation in to the driver.
Also for the record, here's a quote from a different post by the same parent:

> 3) I used to drive to and from work every day. Part of the journey took me along the A4/M4 towards Heathrow. There was a traffic jam every day, going home from work (towards Central London). This busy road had a bus lane. I don't recall ever seeing a bus going past me in that lane, but plenty of black cabs did. I don't see why a black cab should get to skip past the rest of us waiting 20 mins in traffic.

>I am going to be dead for a long effing time.

See... I think that thought and I continue with "what does it matter if I'm only with one person? My contribution to the world is not going to be based on how sexually satisfied I am."

I have whatever sex I need to get it off my mind so that I can work on my hobbies and interests without distraction. "I'm going to be dead" is just as much a reason to be miserable as it is a reason to be happy. (That is, they have nothing to do with each other whatsoever.)
> Otherwise, electric/hybrid cars wouldn't be exempt but charged the same amount!

That's an anomaly I'd say. The congestion charge was introduced in 2003, at that point electric cars were a curiosity, a fraction of a fraction of the market. I'd expect within 10-15 years the exemption will be removed.

The purpose was partly to reduce pollution, but as a secondary effect of the primary aim to reduce traffic:

But that's not fully accurate either. Sometimes the information in total will really be a more accurate representation of reality than the blurred image. Maybe it could be described as an educated guess, sometimes wrong, sometimes invaluable.

It would be interesting to see the results starting with higher quality images. With the camera quality increasing, many times there should be more data to start with.

I'm sure that had they used the opportunity to shut down Uber years ago over a paperwork issue, rather than waiting for the Metropolitan Police to write to them expressing concern that Uber's policies of refusing to report crimes and obstructionist approach towards police investigations may have lead directly to people being sexually assaulted, the people still arguing on here that Uber's conduct is above criticism would have been even more outspoken in condemning authorities.

The ten times Uber got the green light in numerous other inspections and fact it wasn't halted early in operations over paperwork (unlike, say Taxify) is far better evidence in support of arguments that the regulators have been extraordinarily flexible and tolerant towards Uber than evidence for the insinuations they're more bothered about hurting Uber than Uber hurting its customers.
Here's Uber's respose to the Met Police's letter with their version of the story: https://www.uber.com/en-GB/blog/how-uber-in-london-works-wit...

> A complaint was made that, following a trip, a driver got out of the car and hugged a female passenger. This violates our community guidelines and the driver was prevented from using our app while we investigated. He was subsequently given clear direction concerning his alleged behaviour prior to being reinstated on the app. When a second complaint was made some time later, of the same driver touching a rider’s leg, it was decided that we could no longer maintain our partnership with the driver and he was permanently stopped from using our app. At the same time we informed TfL of the allegations in order that they could consider revoking his private hire licence and prevent him from working with any other operators in London. We deal with all complaints on a case by case basis but swiftly identify and deal with any pattern of alleged behaviour such as this. As stated above, we also advise individuals to report incidents to the police and support them in doing so.

Going a little less than the speed limit is not nearly enough. If someone stopped at the perpendicular red light suddenly floored it, you wouldn't have enough time to stop. The maximum safe speed through a typical intersection is probably only about 10MPH. Less if there's not much room between the stopped traffic and your lane.
I wonder if there'll be any transparency around the database of known 'good' firmwares? For example, could a state actor force inclusion of a 'bad' firmware in the list? That's rhetorical, but the question is wouldn't it be better if end users could have visibility into the list of valid hashes? A count of the prevelance of each hash would pretty quickly highlight any with only a handful of appearances in the wild.

I don't understand why there aren't more governments challenging Uber on their subsidized fares. Doesn't that fit the definition of dumping?
There are discussions about it happening. If you haven't yet, join the community and make your opinion heard :)
You missed my early point. Please read what I wrote. I advocate viticms to report first. But Uber has the responsibility to ensure these allegations are rightfully documented. If someone punched you in the face at Starbuck, what is the first thing the worker say to you? "Are you okay?" What else will the worker say? "What happened? Do you want me to call 911?"

Usually stores have policy to notify manager so the manager can decide what to do. If Uber treat this kind of allegations as a normal support ticket, and nothing is done, well, fml. It better now come up with a better protocol so the support team has a manaul book to follow.
For me as well.
There's nothing weak or negative about that, it's exactly what'd you expect. Obviously for a given input there will be multiple plausible outputs. With any such system it would make sense to allow some control in choosing among the outputs.

"Allowing cars on bus lanes would actually lower congestion."

That's an argument to get rid of bus lanes, not to allow some protected class of cars to be permitted to use them.

Anyway, bus lanes aren't about reducing congestion overall, but reducing the congestion faced by users of buses.
