Have you talked to actual women? Ask them if they feel safer in an Uber, in a Taxi or in BART. Seriously go try this experiment. Assuming you're in the Bay Area, ask 10 of your closest female friends.

Also remember that Uber is just one ride sharing company.

> Sure. We like to call those predatory financing and exaggerated claims about compensation. Your buzzword laden defense of Uber misses the point though: scaling Uber is significantly easier than scaling a transit agency like an airline or BART.

People are not stupid. If it was a raw deal for them then they'll jump ship (there are huge communities of drivers that constantly crunch numbers, share spreadsheets, etc). You can drop in and drop out at any time. That's one of the benefits of doing Uber. Work at McDonald's? Now you have to fight to get enough work hours for pay, you can be overworked, you can be shortchanged, you can have grueling schedules, you can't take vacations easily, the actual work is stressful....have you sincerely ever worked a job like that?

> Your buzzword laden defense of Uber misses the point though: scaling Uber is significantly easier than scaling a transit agency like an airline or BART.

I think you forget that the OP that prompted my response said "I genuinely don't know what their expenses are other than giving away shit for free", which is what I was responding to.

If you genuinely agree with the OP and you've made up your mind, then I don't think there's anything I can say to convince either of you that scaling Uber isn't a matter of giving away shit for free and building an app in a weekend.

> it's a mystery to me why the BSDs aren't more used in the enterprise/SaaS space

There needs to be a name for the fallacy that the technically best solution will always win.

BSDs aren't more popular in commercial spaces because it's too difficult to find engineers with BSD experience, and no pre-existing supporting ecosystem. There needs to be a compelling reason for companies to ignore the conventional unpopularity, which means that using a BSD must solve a specific pain point that's visible and understandable enough to executives to get approval for going outside the mold. I hate to break it to you, but your boss (probably) doesn't appreciate why a POSIX API is even a thing in the first place, let alone how it applies to a business case.
Tangential to this, he says Airbnb has 100 mobile devs writing about 80k LoC of app code, 40K LoC of infra, and 220 "screens".

Is their engineering organization really _that_ inefficient?
Ask HN: Where to live in California?
I am born and raised in Denmark and have lived here most of my life, apart from a year in Bruxelles. But I am considering relocating to either California, Florida or Switzerland.

I have 10+ years of experience as a C# developer and currently work as a freelancer in Denmark with somewhat lead developer/architect roles. I have also spent a little over 3 years on a start-up I founded together with my dad.

The big question is where to go? The obvious, at least as an "outsider" sitting on the other side of the world, seems like SF. Best "buzz", large tech companies and lots of start-ups. BUT it also sounds like the housing-market is somewhat of a mess, and that you can pay either half your salary on housing or have 1+ hour to work or perhaps even both?

So are there better alternatives in California where cost and availability of accommodation are in better relations to the tech job market? Or is the job market so hot in SF that even though you will pay a lot for accommodation, then the salary and availability of tech jobs more than makes up for it?
This situation in particular is more complicated than the media portrays. Separating children from parents is obviously bad, and needs to stop. Zero tolerance for illegal crossings, on the other hand, is probably actually good. The prior policy of letting anyone with children go & handing them a court date heavily incentivized human trafficking of children, because a child was a golden ticket into the USA (and indeed, many children were trafficked as a result). To eliminate that incentive, deportation after an illegal crossing needs to be enforced, even when a child is in tow. I think that the best answer is detention as a family during the process of prosecution and deportation, but I understand that there are some legal hurdles to that.

Those benchmarks do not compare like-for-like. Often the Haskell versions try to solve the problems elegantly with high-level functional code at the expense of performance, e.g. see Mandelbrot.

GHC Haskell is an advanced optimising compiler that will produce considerably faster functional code than both Erlang and Java. For maximum performance, it is perfectly possible to write imperative array-oriented code in Haskell, in which case performance should be comparable to Java.

In many cases BOLT complements AutoFDO. AutoFDO affects several optimizations, and code layout is just one of them. Another critical optimization influenced by AutoFDO/PGO is function inlining. After inlining a callee code profile is often different from a "pre-inlined" profile seen by the compiler, which prevents the compiler from making an optimal layout decisions. Since BOLT observes the code after all compiler optimizations, its decisions are not affected by context-sensitive inlined function behavior.

I'm unable to downvote, but I'll share my position.

I don't base my political beliefs on what is good for the U.S. alone. There are plenty of things that are good for the U.S. but negative for other people.

As an example, think of Western expansion in the early 1800's and policies directed towards Native Americans and how certain practices were "good" for the US but bad for other people.

The web today rebuilds the scrollbar in javascript (overriding Browser UI), reimplements the DOM in js (I doubt this abstraction is more lightwight than rendering into a convas) and builds single page applications (making URL way less usefull, breaking back and forward, and open in new tab buttons). This doesn't look any different.

This web application does not have to pretend to be a hypertext, but otherwise this looks very familiar.

And there is something to gain: A proper language, less resource wasted at run time, the vision of "Compile once, run anywhere", but this time for real and sandboxed.

It's pretty hard to drink a lethal amount of liquor though, it's a lot easier to consume a lethal amount of GHB, probably easier than any other recreational drug (or club drug at least). I also think one of the big concerns with GHB is people spiking drinks. It's incredibly easy to slip into a drink.

At one of the nightclubs I go to, they have fairly prominent signs warning about GHB, and telling you that you will get a lifetime ban if you're caught with it. Most other drugs will just get confiscated (and often consumed by the bouncers), or at worst kicked out for the night.

> I dont think this is technically possible.

> Or you are assuming vastly more advanced technologies possessed by Chinese government.

> From what we know from Chinese tech company and track record, I doubt this is true.

It is not technically feasible, but legal consequences serve as sufficient deterrent. Not many people in the US would carry similar activities. It helps that just about all Chinese corporations are really state enterprises. It looked like state intervention might eventually disappear while Hu was in power, but under Xi, the CCP has gotten much more involved. No Chinese corporation will continue to steal US intellectual property if the party instructs them not to.

As for technical feasibility, if any country has the capability to detect those intrusions, it's China. All internet traffic in China passes through a government filter, and you're only allowed to move encrypted data if you're small fish and the CCP doesn't feel at all concerned about what you're doing. So they can monitor internet traffic better than any other state.

The hacks you hear about are not super advanced wizardry. It's mundane script kiddie stuff but with hundreds if not thousands of people behind it dedicating their full day to it. Our networks are full of security holes.

> They have all the benefit to lie about it: [...]

I concede those are pretty good reasons, but they would unravel sooner or later if there were no truth to them. It is true that this creates fear, that the US is trying to maintain high ground, that this keeps the IC budget growing. But that does not mean China is not hacking into American businesses. I assure you that China would have been much more indignant in fighting the charge if there were no substance to the IC claims.

What I would like you to consider is this: why would China not steal US secrets? Their economy is modernising, and this is exactly the kind of thing they need to speed that modernisation. This is not unique to China, by the way. Every young economy breaks the rules before it joins "The First World". See China's fight to keep its classification as a developing market, their currency manipulation, and how China is setting up shop in any place they can to avoid tariffs, quotas and other import restrictions. Hacking into American (and Canadian and European) businesses is not a wild suggestion -- what would be mysterious is China not hacking Western businesses.

The difference is temptation. Climbing a mountain is arduous. Addiction is not likely to be a problem. Even reading becomes kind of a slog. Video games are engineered to feel effortless and supply a constant steady buzz (or dopamine hit or whatever).

Being world No 1 in an MMO may be a real achievement, but for the millions of mediocre players, being a mediocre but persistent sportsman is likely to lead to far greater life outcomes as side effects. (And, again, physical limits stop the temptation becoming all consuming.)

Put aside the illegal aliens for the moment. What about all the US citizens who might use stolen identities?

For example, one of your workers disappears and you discover that they walked off with $millions worth of your stuff. You report this grand theft, giving the police the supposed identity. The police later tell you that this person died 3 years before you hired him.

For example, you hire somebody who uses a stolen identity to pass your background check. They just got out of prison for beating their previous boss to death.

For example, you hire a supposed professional with some sort of certification. They might claim to be a doctor, a Professional Engineer, a lawyer, or a Certified Public Accountant. By identity theft, they convince you that your business can depend on them to meet legal requirements and do competent work.

Correct identity is rather important.
In my experience HR isn't filled with "bad" employees per say, it's filled just with bureaucrats.

Many companies have a similar system where you have to renew contractors on a monthly basis. A similar thing happened at a company I was working for, where the manager was away on sick leave and the system didn’t copy anyone else in to the ever escalating emails. With no one confirming the contractor should stay the system kicked in. The contractor’s accounts were deleted, without him knowing anything about it. It wasted a few days to set everything back up again. Luckily security never got involved. The least such a system should do is contact the contractor directly before taking action, so they have a chance to involve a human.
