I've seen this quite often too! In my experience it happened more with Lyft and when I hailed a ride from the airport.

I live pretty close to the airport (6-20 mins) so the sneaky drivers that see the fare will call me and confirm my destination. I confirm and then they just sit in their waiting spot indefinitely, hoping I cancel.

Understanding their strategy, I walk down to the lower level with the app still open and take a cab home. They see me physically moving (haha) and have choice but to cancel. I leave the app open even when I get home.

I even had one driver listed as hearing impaired who called me up to confirm my destination. He had no trouble hearing and confirmed he would be right there to get me (only to just wait it out so I would hopefully cancel!)

Next time - leave the app open and use another service or grab a taxi. They'll see you move on the map and you'll waste their time since they were trying to waste yours. :)

Also - I always tip about double the norm for any driver that picks me up and doesn't have a bad attitude because I know they would have preferred a longer trip. I shouldn't have to do this, but I'm a business owner and I don't mind rewarding those that do the right things.
Actually, to be more clear... The original graphical AOL client for the PC was a PC/GEOS application. It booted GEOS and straight into the AOL GEOS application.
Flynn Was Key Cooperator and Deserves Little Prison Time, Mueller Says
So you didn't leave when they HAD the policy banning competitors, but decide to leave when the remove the ban?
If you were unqualified relative to other candidates, in what ways do you expect this series of events to have played out differently?
Yep.

Another aspect is separation of responsibility - don't forget insider-risk. Security is a process, not a product, as the cliche goes.

Where I work, we use Vault for (among other things) authentication between internal services. The developers do not have access to Vault and never see tokens/certs/passwords/etc, which are created by a different group. So if you want to run a rogue service, you need a conspiracy across departments, increasing your risk of detection.

Same principle you see in accounting, of course. You develop process, loci of responsibility and audit trails designed to enable the desired outcomes while at the same time making attempts to defraud the system impossible, obvious, or investigable after the fact, in descending order of preference.
Wordpress supports MySQL or MariahDB.

There are opinionated packages of the sort you are looking for, I think, perhaps you would be interested in sandstorm.io?
I doubt it. Ours was written in our homegrown x86 assembly language for our own OS kernel.
I wouldn't equate purchasable cosmetics where you direct purchase the item you want with no RNG to being assaulted in either of those ways.
I don’t think we’re talking about a parent using with an under 13 in the room, but an actual under 13 using.

Does YouTube TOS allow a six year old use its service directly? Actually interact with the service and not passively watch an adult do it?
As an OS developer myself, I can tell you that logging into platforms to quickly tweak something using vi happens all the time. It's not about "directly developing" on the platforms, it's about debugging and trying things out.

nano is a very young editor, comparably, invented in 1999, and GPL on top of that. I'm not sure it even come out of the box with any of the BSDs (OpenBSD at least does not seem to have it).

vi was first written by Bill Joy himself in 1976, and I'm pretty sure it proliferated in many different forms over many, many different platforms.

mg, I don't know!
Are you a bot? It makes no sense for you to be so mad about something so innocuous.
Yeah, I use Office 365 extensively and have used Google Apps extensively in the past. Office 365 is definitely more suited to corporate-type work and I personally prefer Office 365, but I just feel like the Google Apps interface and features work better for kids. And the Google Apps realtime collaboration features still beat the Office 365 apps hand down.
I live in the South. You're wrong. Boston is still the most openly racist place I've been, and NYC to most segregated (in terms of day to day encounters). I live in the South partly so that I do interact with non-white people on a daily basis without venturing far from home.
The influx of traffic has been a great surprise. I've contacted the host and updated the plan to handle the activity. They informed me the issue will be fixed soon. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Note the explicit change to StudentSearchResult over student there to make your last comment kind of a yes, I agree and that was the intent...

There are many ways that this can be implemented that avoid an if result != null / == no value, often a map suffices.
>but most people are somewhere on a spectrum in the middle.

Are they though? I obviously don't know this to be true, but I imagine most are actually somewhere on the ambivalence scale. Samsung makes a phone they want? They're going to buy it. People have a hard rnough time sticking to their guns on things that _really_ matter, and this doesn't.

The intersection of people who care enough to speak with their wallets and those who didn't already abandon Samsung for their insidious bloatware is, I imagine, rather small. You also have to weigh that against the number of people who they fooled with their marketing and will never know the truth.
It might be possible to get tramp working over a serial line (while still being able to use the same shell, though?), or over telnet, but practically I'd probably just type "vi" to quickly edit a file.

Again, I'm saying that as someone who uses tramp-mode all the time, otherwise.

You don't want to store secrets in state files. Imagine you run a CI/CD system where you run terraform plan. Now secrets is all public.
There are a couple interesting shoe companies out there. Mephisto for example offers lifetime warranty on their shoes so if they become damaged or start to fail you can ship them in and they'll be repaired or replaced for free (or at least it used to be the case). Their shoes are otherwise fairly expensive compared to competitors, but that made up for the price since you'd basically have new shoes forever.

The Anatomy of a Perfect Landing Page
China did lose many.

Let's take religion as an example. In Malaysia, Taiwan, and Singapore, traditional temples are still "alive" with popular and active ceremonies, while most temples in China I went are just dead buildings: people lived there and do things have nothing to do with divine, CCP-permitted official events, foreign tourists, modern decorations that have no integrity, etc.

It's just sad to see those religious sites dying. The spiritual essence died, during exactly the Cultural Revolution.
That was not the point.

edit: The point was that many of the people in the thread don't seem to understand the magnitude and pervasiveness of the problem. What people are prepared to do and pay to alleviate it is another matter entirely, but accordingly it is probably not well estimated if the issue is not well recognized.
I think Uber will cancel it for you if you leave the pick up zone so that doesn't work.

In those instances I've put my phone down and waited them out, but Uber still charged me (even though they're not supposed to). I was able to get them to reverse the $5 fee after some arguing, but was still unable to negatively rate the driver.
A distinction isn't necessarily useful.

Good night, why do the fairings cost so much?
"Rent seeking" is by definition trying to extract payments ("rent") from value you didn't create. Charging for access to value that results solely from your act of creation (like "Captain Marvel") is literally the opposite of rent seeking.

I met Doug Engelbart after he received an award in SF. The guy was truly amazing giving me deep answers to all my questions.

What is truly sad is that the last twenty years of his life he repeatedly failed to raise funds to continue 'inventing the future'. I don't know if it was ageism or something else but it was a genuine tragedy some firm couldn't have backed him in setting up a small research lab.

I assume from this comment you don’t live in SF? Because they do very quickly ticket and/or tow.

> It seems like you're saying "yeah you're a girly man, that's what you are now, better learn to embrace it" rather than "learn to express yourself how you want".

It's true, I am saying that. I think the root problem is how the parent comment author is being treated, rather than how he is acting, since his main motivation for changing how he acts is to be treated differently.

He's free to reject my advice, but I know that when I was a younger person going through the same thing, it was exactly this advice that helped me survive after many years of only being ineffectively told that I needed to "man up."
It's worth noting that it's extremely common to confiscate cars for relatively minor infractions like parking where you're not supposed to. You can pay to get your car back, but if you don't, they'll eventually consider it to be abandoned and sell it. I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing had happened here, with Bird not paying the fee to retrieve their property either through negligence or it just not being worth it.
I've noticed MS seem to use this to improve their developer documentation, a few pages I've rated poorly have been improved over the years. Annoyingly the same company has "would you like to do a survey" popups all over their other sites a few seconds after you load the page, at least let me read the content first so I can give half informed feedback.
It will probably necessitate a legislation for this but once electric cars become dominant it looks like having battery standards will be necessary.

I suspect the margins are high enough. These things are cheap, and it doesn't take a whole lot of rides to pay for themselves. If they last a few months on average before being trashed, that's probably good enough.

It's also possible that these companies are taking the loss to gain market penetration, hoping to find a solution to the vandalism problem before the VC money dries up.
React Redux 6.0 released
Okay that’s what I thought. So that’s not really Microsoft “using Rust in production code” so much as one guy (I know him; he likes coconut la croix; I do too) deciding ripgrep would be a good basis for implementing the FileSearchProvider api.
So all that's needed to enter the scooter business is a van, a Faraday cage, and a conversion kit. Perfect!
The listing claims to be selling a brand new part still in its original packaging, so that wouldn't fit, although it certainly wouldn't be the first time that an eBay seller lied.
Any reasonable person expects when they are seeing images in reference to the phones abilities that the photos would actually be from the device itself. It would be very easy to just take photos with the device and use those but instead they chose to deceive customers knowing that most of them would trust it.

Its 100% immoral behavior from Samsung.
Someone else mentioned that to me too but all I see on their site are Vizio TVs and I refuse to buy one of those. I bought a Vizio a few years ago and it was the worst TV I've ever owned. Replaced it with a Sony and never looked back.

Where do I get the Monoprice TVs?
DevelopIntelligence | DevOps + Front End Technical Trainer | Colorado | Remote
We give hands-on training courses (generally 3-4 days each) to software developer teams (generally mid-level and senior devs) at companies like Intuit, Starbucks, and Salesforce. The courses are generally 40% lecture, 40% labs/coding, and 20% Q&A.

Because we've been growing, we need to find more developers/trainers to come teach for us.

Current needs: - Front-End: (React / Redux / Relay or Apollo (GraphQL) / Jest (Testing) / Node) - Azure: On the Developer Side - DevOps - Kubernetes / Docker - Ansible - Terraform - Jenkins - Jira - Machine Learning instructors - TensorFlow & Deep Learning - Python based Data Science / Machine Learning - C# / C# with TDD - AWS: On the Developer Side - GoLang

That take is pretty wrong. The current government is really heavy on emphasizing tradition, to the point of hamfisted revisionism about how the original communists behaved.

It's technically the same party but the gang of four were thoroughly repudiated by Deng and his successors. 10 years of insanity can't kill a culture.
And then when your stealing is successful enough you have the laws changed so no one can do the same as you did.
yes. to submit to firefox you’re required to provide them with the source code, but you may transpile it so long as they can verify that it’s the same AFAIK?

Here's where Google (barely) exposes an option called "Signed-out search activity" retention: https://www.google.com/history/privacyadvisor/search

Make sure to access it while not signed in to Google, but using a browser mode which persists cookies (ie, not incognito mode). The actual control is https://www.google.com/history/optout

Here's the equivalent for YouTube signed-out watch and search history: https://www.youtube.com/feed/history . Click "Clear All Watch History," then click "Pause Watch History," then choose "Search history" and repeat those 2 steps again.

Do all of this from each device you use Google or YouTube from.
We have tech, but it isn't an overwhelming driving force, and it's heavy on the enterprisey side. If you know C#/Java/Javascript you won't have any trouble staying employed.
Yes, as a general PSA for the HN community, if you see a "was this page helpful?" widget on a developer doc, the team probably really does use that data in order to triage what docs need updating. So if you don't usually interact with those widgets, you might consider trying it. In particularly, if you rate a doc as unhelpful, and they give you a chance to provide freeform feedback, that is usually the most helpful information. Otherwise we have to guess at why a doc is getting a bad rating.
> The point is the C lowest common denominator is a bit low. I'd like something that by dropping C we can be a little higher.

I don't think it really raise the bar much. Rust for example isn't an OO language so classes and v-tables won't be included. Go doesn't have templates so off they go. Operator overloading, multi inheritance, exceptions, garbage collection all go.

What your left with is essentially the C ABI. Being this lowest common denominator is why it's the the common ABI just as much as the success of the language.
ULA had this coming.

Chino Hills is the largest city around here that I know of that does not have street parking on public streets. Technically, Tustin and Tustin Ranch are mostly private developed by Irvine CA so both of those as well.

The one thing they all have in common is that they are all wealthy suburbs.
Not OP but Google does offer support for their paid products. With something like gmail, you might be extremely limited to getting help if you can reach a Googler. Worse case you can purchase one of their paid products in an attempt to reach a human being but I don’t know if that will help at all. Probably not.

Yes, there should be. But currently, there isn't.

I can't just throw my bicycle on the sidewalk in front of my office when I get there, either, right?
The main thing stopping me from using FF is it's poor profile support.

There is a profile manager but it sucks. You have to launch it directly (can't open from a FF window) and you can only have one profile active at a time.

Compared to Chrome where I can seamlessly have my work and personal profiles active at once, allowing me to do all of my work in a segregated profile while still having access to all my personal stuff like music playing in another window.
The lengths North Carolina Republicans will go to cheat democracy is hard to stomach. (N.B.: This is not a partisan attack on Republicans generally, but a criticism of one specific organization.)

To my knowledge, they're also the only ones in recent history to be overturned by a federal court for just how gerrymandered the districts in NC were.

It’s really sad that we have such low visibility into actual voter fraud. It seems our elections are broken in such a way that no one is interested in fixing them lest they lose some particular advantage.

It’s enough that now I’ve had enough. I want ID required. I want real paper trails. I want to know exactly how many ballots were issued and where each of them was sent. I want to enforce laws such as cutoffs.

People who say there’s no evidence of voter fraud. How would you even know?
Great insights!

Your comment also made me wonder what actually happened to ELKS. Last I checked (many years ago, apparently), it seemed abandoned. But development has started again in 2014, and still seems ongoing: https://github.com/jbruchon/elks

Should play with it some time, maybe in an 8086 emulator.

EDIT: By the way:

I forgot to mention this in my other comment:

> The core of it is a smart linker/loader which allows code and data segments to be loaded, patched together on the fly, and dropped on demand. All data is relocatable, allowing it to be rearranged or swapped out.

Early Windows on early XTs did that, too! With all sorts of crazy hacks to make it happen [1]. I don't know how it compared to what GEOS did, though.

This isn't voter fraud. It's election fraud.

Requiring an ID impedes voters. Sounds counter-intuitive, but it turns out it's true. And the problem it purports to solve doesn't actual exist.
Put me in the screencap, because this is how NYC rolls.

If people consume it privately, regulate it until it's so unusable that the government version is adopted.
Elections are woefully behind the times - I can track my pizza, but I can't track my vote? I feel that political infrastructure are where technology can really positively disrupt the landscape.

I know it's en vogue to show how easy ballot machines are to cheat and hack -- and maybe they are indeed incompetently built. However, this doesn't mean there isn't a way to use technology to make democratic processes more accurate and streamlined. I pay my rent online, I see my doctor's appointment lab reports online, and I have a powerhouse in my pocket. Technology can be used for evil in this context (see Cambridge Analytica and Russian troll farms), but we need to figure out how to use it for good.
Facebook is acting scared.
Never claimed I or they would know anything about hundred dollar undergarments.
What I can't understand is why criminal punishment isn't involved in more of these cases. If you vote illegally, then you're subject to criminal penalty. If you divise a scheme that's clearly intended to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters, and that scheme is ajudicated as such, nothing happens. There is no disincentive. Just try again until you're successful.
