I agree with you on the drunk driving part, but it just makes a lot of situations way easier. A group of 4 friends can go out without having a car, have fun, and not have any anxiety about how they are gonna get home at the end of the night.

My college and the city actually has changed a lot in the past 10 years, it's seen acceptance rates go down 20%, 2 deaths in Greek life, tuition rise by $10,000, and major companies move into the area. My school also has developed a parking shortage, so many students living on campus are not allowed to bring cars. Uber/Lyft is a godsend for many students.
If you can make it, you should...

I was lucky enough to go there for a trip a couple of years ago and it was incredible, in all the ways that others have described.
I'm not. Not at all.
I just I want to say, I was super happy with that system, much happier than with Uber.

I used a small family taxi company. I had to book in advance, or be prepared for a short wait, but they understood my father in law needed some extra time and understood his requirements. Ubers on the other hand are awful with disabled people in my experience.
I recall there was some speculation that some combination of USB-C and household DC could replace the current use of AC within the home... is this practical/desirable/beneficial?
The deleted sibling still knows the parent, and all ancestors, so you have to regenerate them to make the deletion actually effective.
I think the future is that all configuration is code. Code in a proper functional/imperative language (preferably the one you wrote the app code in), rather than a special declarative language. The attraction of toml is minimalistic and simple definitions initially - but there is always too much logic for these languages. If not immediately, then eventually.

"Real" programming languages have good compilers, good error messages, debuggers, IDE's with syntax highlighters and so on. json/yaml/toml/xml/whatever always feels like you are poking something and then trying it, checking for errors from typos and starting over. This feels quite backwards if you are used to developing with a good strict compiler and debugger.

There are projects like pulumi that provide API's for multiple languages and hook into almost any service (e.g. Azure, AWS)

The hermetically sealed glass and aluminum phones don't usually let you do it but more sensible plastic bodied phones often still do.
This is incorrect as the time-value of money is different for different people. If the choice is between a high pressure job with ~$100k after tax earnings or a mid pressure job with ~$70k after tax earnings, where the high pressure one is at a 90% bracket vs. the 50% bracket of the lower one, rational people may decide on the lower impact job.
You can still choose a black sedan, but that doesn't mean anything. It's just a random guy with a more expensive car.

I didn't think there was going to be a tradeoff. There was never supposed to be. The idea that random people would drive others around was never part of Uber's business plan, that's why it was called "Uber" to begin with. It was never part of anyone's business plan—it was illegal.

Lyft came along and just started hiring random people with no passenger carrier permit and no insurance, and then Uber had to compete with that nonsense and that nonsense somehow just became legal because "it's an app" was a valid defense and the CPUC went along with it because it became too big to ignore or outright ban.
Interesting combination of the "yes men" parroting the "no men"! Great example!

I hear Osborne is going to release a new computer soon. It's going to be much better than the current one, so why bother to buy what's on sale now?

Gerald Ratner says that some of the earrings his store stocks are as cheap as a prawn sandwich, and will last about as long. People are talking so... good for him, eh?
I definitely have an interest In hearing more about how you achieved this for such a low cost. My own sms/voip setup costs about $50 a month. I still gladly pay it for the control it offers, but would love to pay less but not lose reliability.
YAGNI is meant for a "this could maybe be useful" scope-creep feature, that seems simple to add but doesn't have a reason to exist.

(Aside, flip the contraction to get the acronym - "you aren't gonna need it")
It sounds like a documentation or communication problem. If somebody makes a technical suggestion, such as "don't do X", the reason behind it should be recorded somewhere.

Why not switch to a Patreon model and give people simple “export all data as markdown/json” inside every version of the app?
In that way there’s less incentive for the business to become potentially untrustworthy, but if it does, people’s emotional investments are still protected by being firmly in their own hands.
So Coinbase and .... who else?
Smart choice. I opted to stop accepting php jobs several years ago and life has never been easier.
Then it's going to lose against the free gitlab, and the pricing page (https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) that doesn't even have a "contact us for a price" option.
People are already starting to do this, in a time of immense economic prosperity. Look around at the "able-homeless" in the SF bay area.
Ah I can see that. But it feels like a red herring to me...?

As in, those gains aren't accruing equally. Even among people, tech savvy monetizable upper-middle class people get tech sic'd on their dilemmas first. But between orgs and people, I worry it's an even bigger chasm. It's Piketty's "Capital in the 21st Century" in recursion, where accrual of knowledge capital (specifically about individuals, and their probability space of actions accessible through newfound data streams), not financial capital.

Anyhow, thanks for engaging :)
Well, what's the alternative then?

Only if there's thrashing. It’s prohibitively more expensive to build a machine that has enough memory for way more than peak usage than to have some swap that can handle some level of overflow pages.

Nothing in your sources indicate there's intention in Apple driving folks towards these repairs. Geniuses don't work on commission, they have zero incentive to tell people to fix things they dont need to. I think this is a Hanlon's razor situation where you're assuming Apple is malicious when really it's just lack of knowledge on behalf of some Geniuses.
It's hit or miss.

Some, while non user replaceable, are very easy. Others require you to take the phone almost entirely apart to replace it
A powerful "no man" can be a valuable asset sometimes.

I was involved in the design of an ASIC. This was going to be used by people from all different areas of the company, and they all had various demands. Most had never worked on a chip before, and didn't realize the cost of what they were asking for. The easy thing to do would have been to ensure that every requested feature was added But that would have burned area, power, and huge amounts of design and verification time.

Luckily we had a senior guy who had the clout to say "no". Over and over again, he would tell people how much things would cost in terms of money and time, and ask if the features they wanted were worth that much. Or he'd point out that what they wanted could be done with firmware plus existing features. Overall, he probably saved millions of dollars and caused the project to be delivered on time.
Without more detailed context, I'd say you are looking at a range between this comment:

> According to [1] 1-2% is common but IMO too low. Ask for 5%, settle for 3+%

and this comment:

> I feel you’re closer to “somewhat co-founder” status if you’ve contributed to major milestones over 5 months, especially without pay and no major investment. Assuming you’re negotiating pre-money and you’ll get a non-competitive salary; id like to see at least 10%. Consider you will be diluted very soon.

Anywhere from 3% - 10% I'd say is a reasonable number, pretty much depending on who's the better negotiator.
The entire concept of being charged a fee for broadcast TV, going as far as having enforcers driving around in vans seems very strange to me. But on the other hand, I am very impressed with the quality of programming the BBC puts out.

>What will happen to a society where every single person has their basic needs met by some form of automation, and nobody needs to work?

Those who control the "means of automation" (robot factories, power stations, etc) --let's say 0.01%--, will rule over the rest, in gated communities and closed enclaves.

A small percentage of the population will live alongside them, in B-rated residences, to provide them services that, either still need humans or are better done by humans (e.g. sex), or its considered "classier" to have humans do for you (e.g. cooking). Let's say that's a 10%.

The rest 90% will be left to rot in urban and suburban slums, develop their own black economy, and shot on sight when they dare enter the rich areas.

“Trust but verify” litteraly meant “Don’t trust” (as in “don’t trust the Russians” in context). Was it the nuance you intended ?
"Like Farage, Trump, Salvini, and others, Boris bespeaks a new era of politics, perhaps not so much “populist,” but post-technocratic, a break with the automatism of recent times and a return to classical soapbox politics."

Classical soapbox politics that led to two world wars and a world-wide depression amongst other 20th century strifes. There are reasons we discarded this flavor of politics. Why anyone would thing repeating our past mistakes would lead to good things is beyond me.
In my experience there are a lot of people working who would make industry more efficient if they could just freeload instead of faking it.
Now explain the New York AG and why it seems others are twiddling their thumbs in comparison

From my understanding, prior art doesn't haven't to be exactly the same as the invention. The invention just has to be obvious in light of the prior art. In this case, the point is that Facebook's use is obvious, given all the other similar ideas used far before.
I believe you.

Attorney here! (Not providing legal advice - consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.)

You're trying to leverage a "peeping Tom" law to frustrate law enforcement, and that is unlikely to succeed.

The key qualifier here is "with the intent to invade the privacy of a person or persons inside." Law enforcement activities are unlikely to satisfy this prong.
That’s not how things work. Do you really think that AMC would base their entire subscription plan on using a supposed loophole hoping that none of the six big studios would sue them or change their mind?

Uber may try that, but real grown up businesses don’t do things like that.
Gitlab is a fine service and I do prefer it to github. A few problems I have stem from the seemingly never ending security updates, almost weekly it seems. Patching at that cadence is a PITA. My other gripe comes from the company interview process which was very bro-ish, disappointing and off putting.
I find it slightly ironic that an article about the evils of "Myths Lists" uses the "X is an antipattern" form. Calling something an antipattern by saying that it is bad is just a "myth list" comprising one entry :-)

The original meaning of antipattern is more than a common practice that's a bad idea. It's something that appears to be very good in a certain situation, but is actually bad. In order to document it as an antipattern, you have to describe why people think it is a good idea in the context in which they use it. Then you have to explain why those good ideas don't work out. This article fails to do this, IMHO. It's just a rant about something the author doesn't like (exactly the same as this post ;-) ).
It might be that Apple is not able to apply the same attention to detail that Luis applies to every case.

Luis complains that he can't find competent board level repair technicians to scale his business. The real problem is that it's a difficult expensive skill. Luis can't scale it, Apple can't scale it at a reasonable price either.

Human attention is expensive, that's the reason software is eating the world. Part of that means paying less attention to individual user's products when it requires less human attention to just replace parts in mass.

My 2 cents.
When trying to start a culture of documentation, permalinks to Slack conversations where people made decisions are often helpful.

Think of them as real-time meeting minutes and it may be easier to swallow.
There are a few reasons:

1) Say I'm a Danish pension fund looking to park my money somewhere super safe. I can buy US government bonds that pay 1-2.5% (depending on length to maturity) and indeed many foreign investors will do this. But I still have some risk there, because what happens if the value of the dollar goes down against the Euro and now I lose 5% instead of making 2%? So I look for something denominated in Euros. I can invest in corporate debt, but that isn't as safe. And for the largest, safest companies, that debt might pay zero or even negative anyway, since it just needs to pay a bit higher than Danish government debt to attract investors. I can buy Euro denominated Greek bonds, but again, not as safe. If I want a super safe investment, I want Euro denominated government debt from a stable government known for paying its debts. And if those governments pay negative interest, I'm stuck and I have to do it anyway, because pension funds aren't allow to take many risks.

2) The same thing with currency fluctuation holds on the other end. If I'm an American, I can buy US Government debt. And most will. But if I think that the Euro is going to rise against the dollar, I can bet on that Danish debt and if the dollar goes down 5% against the Euro, I come out a winner. And I still get the guarantee of the stable Danish government that the debt will be paid in full (in Euros).

Of course, you might wonder, why not store the money under your mattress? You'll come out ahead that way! Of course you will, unless something happens to that money. Imagine you have a million dollars in cash. Would you store that under your bed? Of course not! You'd get a safe. But you need a really good safe for $1 million, so that's gonna set you back 10k, and you still won't sleep well at night. So to sleep better you put your money in a bank. But the bank can't take your money and loan it out profitably, because mortgages are at zero. So they tell you, fine, we'll take your money but we're gonna charge you for the service of keeping it safe. It'll be 1% a year and now you can sleep better at night.

Now, if you are a pension fund with $10,000,000,000 in assets, you can't just go to a local bank. So instead, you invest in government debt, which is really just the government keeping your money safe for you for a fee.
I want a dev phone just so that I can quit playing the "jailbreak and never update" game.
There are already COTS ICs for monitoring rechargeable batteries. These used to be built into laptop batteries when they were removable and swappable. Nothing prevents a phone manufacture from integrating the same into a removable battery to keep track of aging.

Truths, Myths and Lies about the Agile Team
That's self-limiting, because if that happens, it drives inflation, which drives the real benefit levels down at the same nominal benefit level, which makes fewer people feel like they can afford to opt out. As long as benefits are tied to revenues rather than inflation-indexed, negative feedback market forces limit opt-outs.
To improve trust: allow each user to see the raw data that’s sent with every request and when. Default telemetry to on as you’re open about collecting it (and it necessary for debugging), but allow people to turn it off completely.
You could even store it on-device just in case a user has a problem later and decided to help by sending past telemetry.
>Sometimes I think folks who think like this really need to get outside more. Yes, a lot of things are being automated, but (a) consider the janky quality of automation, because it's really not mature yet even in purely-software environments where everything can be controlled, and (b) consider the raw cost of doing it vs. the productivity savings and side effects.

That just pushes the problem some decades into the future.

Besides, it doesn't have to be perfect. It's enough that it renders a good chunk (say 20-60%) of the population useless job wise to have adverse effects.

In fact, if it wasn't for tons of paper-pushing and busywork serving as a sort of job program and UBI scheme, we'd be in deep shit already, just from the job migration to China and co, never mind AI.

>But even if so: as someone who implements something you might call automation, like most here, I have to ask: why is it exactly that I should owe a massive amount of my economic output to those who aren't outputting anything? At what point do I simply say "fuck it" and stop working too, because some ridiculous percentage of my income has to be applied towards feeding those who won't/can't/don't do anything productive?

For one, because they can get guns and come and blow your brains out and steal your food. So now you need to pay for cops, and government, or your private militia and so on.

Second, because your quality of life, even if ultra rich will drop quickly in a failed country, when people are unemployed and not "outputting anything". In fact the whole country might go down the drain...
Er. This is awful advice.

You’re also on the hook for impeding the organisation.

I’m a “no” guy. My boss is a pure yes man.

I don’t say no to impede progress. I say no to avoid overworking my team which would reduce the quality of our work.

I say no, because it changes the scope of work in progress, and that requires sufficient justification because it means either throwing work away (which is both demoralising and wasteful), potentially increasing time to delivery or creates technical debt in droves.

I say “no” so that people don’t make their own standards (like not following logging patterns, or metric naming conventions) which would cause all kinds of gunk in the infrastructure.

It’s not about following a strict process. Although that can be important for streamlining workflow through an understaffed team like mine, it’s about ensuring that the quality of what we do is not at risk.

Quality is our only currency, without it everything suffers.
You're talking about a non-final rejection (where some, but not all, claims are rejected), which is helpful, yes.

In Facebook's case, though—see above—there were two final rejections. A final rejection happens when all the claims are invalidated, so your submission is now vacuous.
A principle I have is that I lower the barrier for others to contribute the things I want to see more of. Rather than holding a Slack thread up as the apotheosis of documentation, I recognize that I am more likely to receive wisdom if I allow for a Slack thread to be sufficient. It's just a permanent link to a conversation.

This is reinforced by the additional fact that the people with the most I have to learn from are the people with the least time to teach me. So I minimize the effort I require of them to give me their best.

For instance, if I had a chance to ask Feynman stuff, I would happily accept answers in txtspeak with emojis and broken grammar. Sort of a personal Postel principle.
I hardly ever watch broadcast TV, but I don't mind paying the licence fee for the BBC website and radio stations.

There are plenty of things to dislike about the UK, but that seems like an odd list of things to highlight.

The porn opt-in thing has been pushed back for a year or two and will be quietly shelved when it's realised it's unworkable.

The supposedly omnipresent CCTV invariably seems to have been lost or turned off if you actually need to figure out e.g. who has nicked your bike.

I will grant you the Brexit shit-show, however; that is genuinely horrific.

Many of the undertakings that happen at the state level require a functioning federal government for them to go anywhere. We do not have a functioning federal government, so here we are.
This is a great question. Is there a technical way to prove that an iOS or Android app is built from a specific git commit revision? And what about a web app? I know that these apps are signed but can a signed app be tagged with a transparent revision number which cannot be tampered with. Kind of like a sha2 hash that can be reproduced by building the same source code.
I'm on the fence about this. On one hand, I can agree with the folks that are unhappy about Apple locking out small retailers. On the other hand, I can see how Apple would want to protect its image. In my personal experience, I've had a few friends have their batteries replaced at kiosks in the mall and have experienced issues. Do they blame the random vendor in the mall? Nope, they blame Apple and have decided "the iPhone sucks."

Third party battery replacements aren't even that much of a savings over having Apple do it.

https://support.apple.com/iphone/repair/battery-power

$49 for the "iPhone SE, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and all other eligible models." Those are the ones that now have batteries that are probably wearing down more.

You have to go to an Apple Authorized Service Provider to have the replacement done. But guess what? Best Buy locations are now AASPs as well and they can do it.

I'm ok with that.
Hello, I’m Rasmus. I’d love to dig deeper into these subjects — the details into rasterization and realities of layout engines (or “shapers”) that are out there. Perhaps in another interview or article :–)
One possible attack would be to replace the sensor with one that records the fingerprint the next time you authenticate. And then in the future it could “replay” the fingerprint image to the SEP (secure coprocessor).

If it were really Apple’s intention to prevent you from servicing your device, would they only disable the Touch ID sensor? Why wouldn’t they make the whole device inoperable, rather than make you suffer a minor inconvenience by having to use a passcode?

The less exciting answer is that the sensor was designed to certain security parameters and modifying it invalidates those. Yes, the threat model includes nation-state actors. Disabling the sensor preserves system security; designing for a potentially adversarial sensor is difficult and increases risk.
