The costs (direct and cascading) of displacing essentially all riders for some undetermined amount of time? Tokyo had no choice but to do this.
>" Using our API logs, and with information from our upstream provider about the IP address the query originated from, we were able to identify a truncate query run during tests using the Database Cleaner gem."

I'm assuming by "upstream provider" here they mean ISP/IaaS provider. Either way they didn't have enough information under their control to identify the source of the query. The reliance on a third party for accurate logging information seems like a big blind spot.

What if the upstream provider didn't have the logs? Or the request for access to those took an excessive amount of time? I didn't see anything in the remediation steps to address this.
100% agree. South East Asia was heaven for me, in Bangkok you never have to cook, you never have to think about cooking. Even in smaller villages in Thailand you could find tons of places serving cheap, good food any time of the day (and numerous at night as well).

Now that I'm back in the UK I mostly just prepare a bunch of sandwhiches twice a week.

I hate cooking.
I don't think that is quite the answer. I think you would explain that the algorithm considers the past data on x to make decisions based on x. So then if you say 'we consider factors like your name in order to work out ethnicity and then use that to determine your credit risk' you get a big fine.

If you say 'we use data about the previous likelyhood of people in your profession and age group having an accident in order to analyze the risk....in order to price your insurance' then you are on safe ground

This would be a poor question. Any perceived lateness is because Uber underestimates the time-to-pickup.

In Manhattan they pretty consistently underestimate by 50% it feels like.

If your phone supports it, a lot of places accept Apple Pay and Android Pay now. Just set them up with your card then pay contactlessly.

Of course you still have the problem that not eveywhere takes Amex, so getting a Visa is recommended too.
Not sure where this is coming from but this is definitely NOT the case in Canada or in Europe.
The intuition makes a lot of sense. The corporate structure and processes when everyone knows everyone (up to ~150) are very different than when they don’t. I’ve found that 150 isn’t a hard number. Companies with more remote workers tend to hit it sooner, and the ones that thrive adopt formalism earlier.
No, it was for a regular work visa. The person handling my case explicitly asked if I was applying for a BlueCard and I said no (because it does require a degree).

At this point I'm blaming it on the situation being too different from what the immigration workers are used to, but it gave me a lot of headaches (and wasted time/money for me and the company).

I don't find the insider risk idea hard to believe. The primary stuff is still an open wound, and you could also easily imagine someone disgruntled for more prosaic reasons (e.g., passed over for a promotion). The fact is we have very little evidence for any of these ideas, and I, for one, don't find it reasonable to conclude that it is therefore obviously the fault of the Russians, especially given how unhinged and paranoid rhetoric about Russia has gotten.

I have been looking for a Windows Explorer replacement since Windows 95 and only found what I want 2 years ago:

XYplorer (https://www.xyplorer.com)

It's not free, but worth every penny. I have looked for a free replacement for years and always ignored it, which was a mistake.

XYplorer is very well maintained, 0% CPU cost, 1% RAM cost, highly-configurable, has very nice features. Someone really put some thoughts into the UI and UX. I really like the Ghost filter. Ctrl+P is great. Oh and it remembers all opened tree views after restart, so your workspace is exactly the same after a reboot.

I've been predicting robotic fast food for a decade now. And it's here! By cooking with no human hand ever coming into contact with the ingredients or utensils, clearly a health benefit is accrued. And by steam-cleaning the cooker periodically, quality is improved.

I'd envisioned a somewhat different robot. I thought the ingredients could be tube-delivered like caulking guns, on a rotating 'tool carousel' so you could cook different recipes by selecting and timing. And process vertically so you avoid most 'conveyor belt' issues. Finally do it as drive-thru with automated ordering (touch screen/phone app) to eliminate the rest of the human factor.

The result should be good quality, fast food at a radically cheaper price.
Not seen that before (my field isn't comp sci or ML), but it looks great! Obviously web interface is the way to go for a serious project, but I actually found it fun learning how to implement an interactive command line app. It's incredibly responsive and has a four-key interface, so if you are good at skim reading you can train it with a lot of papers in very little time.
Even random clicking on these "select X" captchas works. You'll just get a longer run around, until AI gets bored and lets you in.

Perhaps it recognizes that being annoyed and a willful breaking of rules are also human qualities.
My use case is to split the screen in two, editor on one side and terminal on the other. I specifically want the terminal to be 80 characters wide (inside that window I use tmux), and the editor to take up the rest of the space.

I've tried most of the simpler, GUI-based window managers for macOS but I haven't found one that let's me set window sizes explicitly in pixels yet. With hammerspoon I figure out the width of the terminal app I want, and adjust the windows accordingly.
There are vectors of attack everywhere and we can quickly go back to the discussion about how to build the most secure computer (e.g. unplugged and in a remote place). The industry has the capability to build more secure stuff, we should not block virtualization features just because there are bugs out there.

It'll almost surely take less time, part of the reason 0.17 took so long was because the Part Design Workbench had compatibility-breaking changes with a whole new workflow. It's probably overly optimistic but some of us are pushing to have this development cycle last roughly until the end of the year before we begin the release process again. At the earliest, that'll probably mean another release this time next year.

This view on sharing hardware seems too pessimistic to me. Strong isolation should be achievable when it is the design objective and and priority.

On the end-user/device side, JavaScript has proven that sharing hardware with untrusted code is just too valuable to give up, and a similar dynamic continues to play out in the cloud.

I'm also happy whenever a headline brings attention to these types of problems because I believe we can fix them.

Food delivery (not the fast food one) is changing the need for cooking, I haven't cooked in ages.

In principle, the price of food preparation should be smaller when done on a large scale, but for some reason it's not the case, except for the Southeast Asia.
On the contrary, it's definitely not a poor question, it's very valuable feedback -- for Uber. I agree it's not something that should be levied on the driver, though.
This question makes it possible to distinguish between this fact and other variables the passenger perceives.

Without distinguishing only broad actions are possible. Like broad judgements where you don't know what it is supposed to say.

> Uber said in July that it would make riders add an explanation when they awarded a driver less than five stars.

This acknowledges the inability to distinguish what is ment with the judgement and one of their tries to fix this.

Ask HN: Career and family, can we have both?
Hi HN,

This looks like Quora like question, but I am really interested in what you guys think.

I started writing code since 10 years old, I did a PhD and really liked working on complex problems. At the end of the thesis, my wife and I got our first kid, two years later the second one. We decided to stay in the same town to be close to the family (which is really helpful), but there is not that much "great" opportunities around here in tech. Meanwhile, all those who were PhD students with me left to other countries and found amazing positions.

It has been a while that I'm feeling depressed... I love being close to relatives, but at the same time I would love to work on amazing things...

I'm not looking for "solutions", but for wisdom :)
Maybe? They definitely have exact data on how long it takes drivers to arrive. But yeah, I'm referring to using it as a judgment of the driver.

I wouldn't even the least bit surprised if they already figured out that people are more likely to take trips if they intentionally underestimate.
It’s not to say that they can’t — it is to say that they don’t due to history and expectations. New Yorkers expect it to run 24/7 because it always has and people routinely make life decisions about where to live and work due to that. You can’t just change it without a pretty drastic social effect that would take years to smooth out.

1) You write it once and put it in your privacy policy

2) Enquiries would be from people who are a) concerned that the decision you made was unfair and would like it reviewed by a human. b) would like an explanation of the decision.

Personally I welcome this. Sitting in a bank and being refused a mortgage because 'computer says no'[0] with no recourse or reason is tough.

If you are profiling for marketing reasons I wonder what kind of enquiries you are expecting?

All news sources I can think of implement prioritisation.

Do users really want personalisation? Do you remember your Dad saying pre-web "oh, I just want a newspaper personalised to me, so I don't read outside of my core interests" or did he just sometimes read, sometimes skip less immediately-relevant articles? I'm not sure anyone really wants to live in a bubble, just some tech companies decided they should.

This program is what allowed me graduate debt free. On the other hand, I don't even answer the phone when my (private, elite) graduate school asks for money.
You can cook a meal of almost any kind in 30 minutes or less. Your comparison to sewing clothes is wrong cause it usually takes days, or many hours, to do such a thing. Baking bread? I do it almost every day...from scratch...no bread maker.

And there you go. I would add that you lack cooking knowledge and ability. If you knew how, you wouldn't say such things. I make breakfast every morning and dinner every night. I make lunch when I'm home. It isn't hard.
Yeah, I'm really baffled as to why people write checks this way, I've schooled a few people on this - always write Person 1 OR Person 2, that way either of them can handle it the way that make most sense for them.

This issue dates all the way back to the late 1980s but...

On Windows, at some stage, it was decided to allow one application to steal user focus from another application. That was a bad design decision, but one that it might be too late to undo, even Microsoft's own software relies on the ability to shift focus onto some inane popup.

To use an analogy, imagine how you'd feel if on Android/iOS you were in one app and without warning another app just started and took focus. You'd be super mad. But on Windows that is so common we have blinders on to it.

There's a particularly obnoxious bug still in Windows today related to this. If the iTunes or Java background update task kicks off, you'll never see it, but it will shift keyboard focus to nothing. Visually it causes a slight flicker, but if you type the keypresses go nowhere since focus shifted to a now closed window (a window that was open for less than a second).

Even Windows UWP apps aren't immune. While one UWP app cannot easily steal focus from another, Win32 API applications (and Windows' own processes) continue to steal focus. Applications that want focus should just blink on the taskbar, focus should only change when the user changes it.

Microsoft thinks they fixed this (see SetForegroundWindow[0]):

> An application cannot force a window to the foreground while the user is working with another window. Instead, Windows flashes the taskbar button of the window to notify the user.

But for whatever reason the issue remains. Particularly the keyboard input disappearing into null behavior I described above.

The only safe computer is a computer that has been submerged in liquid lead, cooled, poured into a solid 6m by 6m by 6m concrete cube, placed into the deepest edge of a saltmine and finally detonating a charge and collapsing a mounting over the computer.

That computer will be reasonably out of reach for everyone.

It's also quite useless.

I'd say there is a definite problem with teacher pay if there is high turnover and a significant number of them need 2nd jobs, but the general "problem of education" is something entirely different.

Every metric we have of educational quality shows that per pupil expenditure has little correlation with good outcomes - the big urban areas with some of the highest expenditures often have much worse performance than many of their nearby suburbs spending less. Not every problem is solved by throwing money at it.

you can't avoid the statistics gathering because you need to contact their server to get the full URL. the best you can do is look for workarounds (goo.gl has a details page if you append .info to the end of a link, not sure whether that gets recorded as a visit). either that, or you have some sort of centralized service that caches short URLs so they only need to be visited once.
