That's my situation -- bike to the train on my own bike, leave it in a locker so I don't have to deal carrying it around, then grab a shared bike at the end of my trip and leave it near the office. If I had bikeshare near my home, I'd skip using my own bike for commuting entirely. Not having to worry about whether or not my bike will have all of its pieces is wonderful.
This is a naive perspective, but, imagine someone has 10 million dollars banked, and earns 175,000 a year in dividends. S/he pay 26-35k in taxes (15-20%, cause I don't know tax code). Now, a couple has a combined income of 175,000 a year. They pay 40k in combined federal + FICA (used an income tax calculator). I think that 5-14k discrepancy is where the blame for "not paying taxes" comes from.
Yeah. I was first employee at a startup that would probably have been the subject of this article if it was still around.

We used OAuth to gain access to users' email. We were exceptionally explicit about this—it was the entire point of the service! We only looked at header data but technically we had access to the full text of the email—Google's permissions weren't granular enough for our users to only grant us access to headers.

That was one of our requests to the Gmail team when they announced the Gmail API. I wrote a blog post about its deficiencies from our perspective and one of the engineers on the Gmail team reached out. Mostly, it was just way too slow so we stuck with IMAP.

I was more-or-less running the ingest and storage systems at the time. We were pretty careful and data wasn't shared with any other companies.

IIRC we could access any mailbox/folder in the account.

edit: To be clear, the OAuth prompt clearly says you are granting access to read emails. Yeah, people don't read, but I don't believe we were doing anything wrong.

edit2: Our media coverage (Techcrunch etc) touted the fact we had access to your email—that was the selling point of the entire service! Amazing to me that OAuth has suddenly become evil.

Who Really Stands to Win from Universal Basic Income?
You are full of it.

> They only allowed people to sell it on their market again, about 24 hours later, after the coin went down to $1,000.

This is completely false, and a lie since you say you were trading it at the time. BCH was trading between $3200 - $4300 when it reopened later the next day.

Not only do you not understand what the verb steal means, you give false information as to how the BCH market traded. You also don't seem to understand that for every buyer there is also a seller. Further, you provide no evidence of your claims of insider trading. I for example, "knew", that BCH was highly likely coming to the exchange based on public information that was already available. BCH API entries were added to coinbase/gdax DAYS before it was open for trading. That you conflate people that were paying attention for clues to the same as people of being guilty of insider trading is sour grapes.

What lesson did I learn from your post? That some people are liars and look to cast blames on others for their own decisions.

Why in the world would an expert trader like yourself place an order for something that was over $1000 higher on GDAX compared to other exchanges? Why because you thought you could scalp it and sell it for more to someone else. You played a very dangerous speculative game and lost - I hope the tuition payment you spent will be taken to heart.

Ah, I don't think there will be a financial crisis like 2008. I do think there will be a retrenchment involving securities and bonds that will cause home prices to move downward or possibly just drift sideways for a long time.
I also haven't seen any here yet. I ride Citibike daily (Brooklyn and Manhattan) and would be wary of using the scooters because the roads are so badly maintained. It's already pretty bad even on a bike.

* Must have skills

- Python

- Some AWS experience (We currently use Redshift, s3, Kinesis)

- SQL

- ETL experience (We currently use Luigi)

* Nice to have

- AWS Spectrum/Athena

- familiarity with data lake

- familiarity with event sourcing

- familiarity with Kafka
The stat I heard was that a bike is likely to be used 1-2 times per day by a user, whereas the same user will use a scooter 3-4 times per day.

So in this scenario you might see someone ride the bike from their apartment downtown, but during the day use a scoot to get between meetings, to a lunch venue, to the bar after work again and then maybe ride a bicycle home at the end of the day if not catch a car.
I agree. Microglia should be where a lot of the focus should be moving. From my limited recent research on microglia and AD, it seems that plaque build up is actually a symptom that is perhaps caused by dysfunctional microglia, which normally phagocytoze plaques when functioning properly. Microglia secrete all kinds of neurotoxins and cytokines that mediate the inflammatory response. It is highly plausible that progressive damage to microglial function induces a pathological state where the microglia become destructive to the neuronal enivronment.
"It wasn't built with the idea", but yet you can do that, because of the UNIX philosophy of chaining commands together. So I think if you're calling it a "hack", then you fundamentally disagree with the UNIX philosophy.

I mean, I have my issues with it, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that kind of command chaining is a "hack".

At one point, Google was pretty not-evil. They had the capacity for great evil, but generally didn't use it.

That has obviously changed over the past couple years, in a slow creeping way.
Not necessarily, they could run them at a higher clock and perhaps put two or more of them on the motherboard for the high end units. Keep in mind that the iphone 8 is already on par with their fastest 13-inch macbook pro.

> That's only half of what a multi-user system does though. The other half is about fine-grained privilege management.

Useful in a networked corporate environment, a lot less so on a personal computer.

> All of those problems that windows has with random programs being keyloggers are eminently solvable on linux because you can make a custom user that cannot use networking or listen to the keyboard as appropriate, and then launch the process using that user.

You can do that on Windows and have been able to since at least Vista. the only reason I disqualify XP is that I wrote a keylogger for it so I know for a fact that you can grab raw keyboard input from any user session. Even before that though NTFS offered a fine grained access control mechanism for files and folders.

> Desktop linux users tend not to run outgoing firewalls, for example, they just don't allow software that they don't trust to access the network.

My experience is that they just don't run software that wasn't sourced from their distribution's package repositories. That is certainly an advantage of the appstore model, but you have to admit it is significantly more limiting that being able to get the latest version of something by downloading it from the vendor's website.

Clever (YC S12) - San Francisco - onsite

Right now the market for educational software is a mess. It’s incredibly difficult for developers to get their products into schools, and it’s even harder for them to scale. School districts spend tons of money on learning applications, but they have no way of knowing if students are even using the apps they’re purchasing. Teachers know there’s great software out there, but relatively simple challenges like getting 30 students logged in at once make using it impossible.

At Clever, we’re working to change all that. We provide schools with a free API and single sign-on solution that makes using educational apps a breeze. We’ve grown fast: after five years, half of all schools in the US (and 90 of the 100 biggest districts) are using our platform. Our goals are much bigger than that, though. We want to be a full-cycle marketplace where schools can identify, purchase, integrate, and evaluate the hundreds of educational apps they're using.

We’re a team of about 115 (35 engineers) based in downtown SF, and we’re looking for engineers who enjoy working in (or would enjoy learning) Golang, Node and React. More generally, we want people who are sharp, adaptable, and passionate about improving the way education works for everyone.

Thanks for sharing some details on this. While I'm sure it won't help me convince other that this actually happens, it's still good to be able to have a reference.

How does something like this work when there are parts of the code that is community driven. Do the volunteers get any share of the pie?

That being said, is there still a lot of people that use SUSE? I remember a lot of people used to rave (particularly academic) about it due to it's stability. I remember playing with their distro builder a couple of years ago and you can choose the specific packages and settings to install which was super neat.
What does “washed out” mean? What were their conclusions?
The second part is here, because I recently read too many RFCs, which were devoid of examples, explanations and hyperlinks (right, plain text). I had no other ideas why is it that way.
Tesla meets manufacturing goal for Model 3
I mean YMMV applies, instruction quality is certainly going to be dependent on the institution; but that's certainly the opposite of my experience at a public (though well ranked) public university.
I don't think Google is a villain here, except for the lack of fine grained access control common to all cloud apps.

For example, I had enabled IFFT to record something to a Google Sheet periodically. I didn't realize that in doing that, I gave the company unfettered access to my entire corpus of data.

I do the same thing.

My SO's response is generally along the lines of 'I'm fine with it, because it isn't in the hands of anyone I know. If you go out and buy that information, that's creepy and scary because you know me.'

I've started coming to terms with the fact that I won't be able to convince her of anything with privacy; because she isn't a technical person, and just like users; they won't care how/why/what cost so long as they can do what they want.

After starting to do groceries via an online supermarket that delivers to our home, I found it a hassle to add all ingredients one by one every time.
So I "reverse engineered" the supermarket app API via a proxy, and made a tool to order recipes. When ordering a recipe, all ingredients are added to the cart. We use the tool for almost one year and it saved us a lot of time.

> In a competitive market the right price would be one which generates a positive but very tiny profit. These big payday lenders make money hand over fist though.

Is this not an inversion of the risk associated with these loans? It was my understanding that riskier loans are assessed at higher rates of interest _because of_ the likelihood of default. Thus, extract as much as quickly as possible before the default.

How would companies profit if the successfully serviced loans did not offset the defaults, given these loans are not secured with another asset?
I like B&W theme.

I would only add social network links where you are active.
That is a really neat effect. Basically if you can put a water molecule inside a flat field it lines itself up with that field and can be compressed. I would bet this has an impact on Graphene based desalination efforts as well.

Yep. Some of the best people I know either didn't graduate, or graduated in fields more or less entirely unrelated to what they do.
when you sign up for a service that does shit with your email, and give it access to your email account, of course the service can read your email.

This seems pretty obvious to me. There are many useful services that do this (SaneBox for example) but DUH how do you expect them to do anything intelligent with your email if they can't read it?

This is all predicated upon the user granting access to their email account though, so this is roughly equivalent to saying "People you sent a letter to can read your letter" ... duh that's why you did it.
The issue is that, presently, all the engineers, and the industrial base, are on Earth. So, space has to value-add to Earth in order to pay their salaries, if any effort is going to persist long enough to get to the self-sustaining picture you speak of.

Being short-sighted is sometimes correct- you’ve got to cross the foreground to reach the distance.

It's not about the revenue. It's censorship with a brilliant twist. I'd argue, more effective than the Chinese firewall.
Right, lots of tests end up correlated with the general intelligence factor.
For a guy who doesn't understand the pricing[1], doesn't understand the mechanics[2], and doesn't understand the people you generalize about[3], you're very opinionated on all these topics.

[1] in most places, a yearly subscription brings the price down to $10-$20 a month.

[2] bike availability is sometimes constrained, sometimes ample. But it has nothing to do with the erroneous claim that no one else uses it.

[3] What 'bikers' want is a large and diverse array of different things. Some hate bikeshares. Some love it.

I've never understood this argument. Sure, wealth/trade isn't a zero sum game. That means that the net wealth in the system increases. But that doesn't mean each individual participant in the game is better off. The game night have a large competition component (which is zero sum) and would mean that the participants are not better off.
Technical users or not, the implications need to be MORE CLEARLY spelled out.

Putting it on the user to figure out the implications of some obscured click-through garbage text isn't fair.

There is a big difference between, say, a 3rd party application using a google API to work with anonymized keyword data from a gmail accounts VERSUS an actual person being able to browse someone else's gmail inbox.

If Google makes it possible for some 3rd party asshole to peruse the gmail inboxes of whoever uses the service, that should be UPFRONT and VERY CLEARLY STATED.
> Also, note that if you move the "int a, b" to outside main, so a and b are on the heap instead of on the stack, then gcc does find that the pointers are equal.

This is also an utter accident, since it depends a great deal on the toolchain. I've worked on compilers and linkers that will put the variables in totally separate parts of the binary (e.g., based on name hash).
