Certainly sequential access is a bad thing when looking at essentially partnering with an investor (or partnering with a customer to meet their needs). I also recognize you may have the better reading of the article than me.

But I think there is a form of driving that is important in conversations generally.

If you ask me "what is it?" That's an invitation for me to drive you around a bit within certain limits. How I choose to answer that is a form of driving. If you ask me who needs it, I get to give you a brief tour of the market, the problems and what we are solving.

In essence there is a difference to reacting to questions and seeing the questions as an invitation to act. I guess what I am getting at is that if the focus is on impressing the other individual that leads to reacting. If the focus is on showing you something cool, that leads to the action I am talking about.

Uber is not a taxi service. It is a car service (i.e., a limousine service).

Taxi service: picks up any passenger, off the street, anywhere, without any prior arrangement to do so. The passenger may not have any opportunity to investigate the taxi provider ahead of time, or to choose their taxi (i.e.,at airports or hotels), so regulation is placed on taxi providers for the protection of passengers.

Car service: picks up a passenger by virtue of a prior arrangement. In some locations, that arrangement can be be minutes old; in others, the arrangement must be made hours in advance. The passenger has the opportunity to investigate and choose the car service provider, so regulation is significantly reduced.

Fuel cost is generally about 1/3 the price of operating a passenger car, so your math is pretty off. But the point still stands, prices are artificially high and enrich a ton of the wrong people.
Yes agreed. I don't buy the author's argument.

I feel like the historical analogy is more like the Last Days of Empire (British? Roman?). The shift to mobile has left Microsoft behind, and it is desperately trying to stay relevant while iOS and Android become dominant first in consumer use but soon in business use as well.

Sure, Postgres works great and it's not our competition. The idea is that you'll store all of your static stuff in Postgres, and all of your dynamic objects in SpaceBase. We've been approached by companies that need to track thousands of vehicles, each updating its location every second or so, and Postgres just couldn't handle it. For LBSs, SpaceBase complements Postgres.

> Why do you think Go is no suited for web apps?

Languages specialize. PHP is suited for the web because it is a dynamic language, stuff is compiled right when it is accessed, and there is no memory sharing between requests.

Go, C, C++, etc. are static languages, stuff needs to be recompiled for even a minor change, and of course, memory is shared for each request.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Obviously you can bring all functionality that the web demands to Go. A jit compiler might help, maybe some loose typing, a few other widgets ... and then, guess what? You turned Go into PHP.

For each job, a proper tool.
The term "iPad (3rd generation)" is not "vigilante", it is simply dis-preferred. That name actually came from Apple: it is how they describe the product on their support website (where it is, of course, necessary to be exact).

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5176

(Although I might even argue that it is dis-preferred: when you go to a dealer to get a new car, you get the "2012 Chevy Cruze LT", but when you advertise it as Chevrolet you might simply say "the new Cruze is the most powerful yet". I do not know if Apple actually provides specific guidance to not use the "3rd generation" terminology.)

Looks like he didn't seriously consider Python or Ruby at all.

Agreed. I'm not one to push my language preferences on others, but "it had scaling problems" more likely means "I read about Twitter's unique scaling problems".

I don't think Go is a bad choice for web apps, though; perhaps, if anything, the ecosystem is a bit immature and therefore can make deployment a bit more of a chore.
Shhh! - if everyone knows, then our global economy will collapse.
Your list explicitly uses the term "iPad 3", not "iPad".

I posted a look at the legal issues on Google+ here:

Here's an excerpt from the post:
Eric's blog post today says that "using 3taps just makes it so it’s not a TOU issue." The problem is it doesn't. Craigslist's lawyers already thought of this, which is why the TOU also prohibits the "display" and "derivative use" of "any content posted on craigslist," which PadMapper is clearly doing. As Craiglist's lawyer is likely to put it in the next C&D, assent to the TOU is still implied. [...]

If 3taps is in fact scraping Google's cache, they're also violating Google's terms of use, which prohibits any effort "to access [search results] using a method other than the interface and the instructions that we provide." Anyone want to bet on how long it will be before Google blocks them through technical countermeasures, or sends its own C&D? And if 3taps is in the business of the TOU-prohibited "distribution" of Craigslist data, which it appears to be, it should expect to get a C&D from Craigslist too.
Show HN - Elseif.net - GitHub repo discovery and exploration
GitHub takes $100M funding - which has got nothing to do with me, but I just wanted to share my weekend project.

I plan to create a "hangout" place for developers - by providing variety of useful contents.

One of them I thought would be an easy way to discovery and explore cool repositories on GitHub.

So here it is. What do you think?

For now I'm only showing repos that have at least 10 followers or 10 forks.. I found there are a LOT of repos that were just for personal uses and not that useful. I'm sure I'll moderate it in a different way in the future and plan to include more search filters.

Oh and there's also a section for "screencasts". You can submit your own screencast if you register via Twitter or Github.

1) If the meter isn't running, you don't pay. If he refuses to release your bags, call the police. This constitutes theft (and possibly false imprisonment if he won't let you out of the passenger area), so you may be able to call 911.

2) Report the company to the local taxi licensing commission. After a few complaints, they lose their license/medallion. One caveat: taxis at the end of a shift are allowed to pick their destination. If the taxi isn't at the end of the shift, let the local bouncer/valet know and that taxi won't be allowed back.

3) See #2.

I imagine github as an iceburg. Sure, I see things like bootstrap with XXXk followers and jquery on there. Big projects! Big names! Big! Big! Big!

But what about what I don't see? How many thousands of users have private accounts? How many thousands of businesses have private github repos? I don't really know. It's a smart bet that every time somebody sees all the prestige of the big name projects, they think "Hmmm, this is really working for them; Could it work so well for me/my project/my startup/ my enterprise? I hope I can make this private."

I am just saying, sure there is a lot of shovel selling going on. But just because you can't see others digging, doesn't mean they aren't out there.
What they can try to solve this if it passes is to give forward credit to future rides.

e.g. if a ride costs $7 dollars, charge the user $15 and give them an $8 discount off the next ride. This gives users an incentive to use Uber again and again since they will always have credit with Uber.

If a user consistently uses less than $15, do something where they get entire rides "comped". You can't charge less than $15, but I bet this law has a loophole for "free rides" because no charging is involved.

Either way, some creative thinking with payments + loyalty benefits should help them get around this if this law eventually passes.

Pushing the costs of maintenance, insurance, and safety onto the drivers and passengers is not disruptive. Taxi companies were doing that decades ago.

Yes, safety regulation costs money. The reason we accept higher prices is to avoid the catastrophic costs that could result if there was no regulation forcing taxis to maintain their vehicles, carry insurance, accept all passengers, etc. Licensing forces a minimum level of insurance on taxi providers to guarantee that injured passengers are properly cared for in the event of an accident involving the taxi provider. The cost of the insurance and maintenance requirements are the primary drivers (pun intended) of taxi costs. Uber avoids these costs (i.e, the disruption of its business model) by maintaining smaller insurance policies and pushing the maintenance costs onto drivers.
Go use Bitbucket and tell me it's comparable. It's not. On every level.
App Harbor is missing out on a money making demographic.
Heroku has the right idea, except for the fact that they do not offer .NET by default. Please listen to your user base more often than not they can lead you in the right direction. Raise prices on another area that you actually have to charge for. This is something that can be given without significant overhead when compared to some other features or packages that could be added for companies that want to scale in a different way. You are alienating the users that are actually going to be making you money.
I like the look of the old icon better, but at a glance it's hard to tell what the app is for. I'd say keep the old icon, but replace the C with a film reel like in the new icon. Then it stands out enough to find it in a folder (because that app is probably not going in many docks).
> PHP is suited for the web because it is a dynamic language. Stuff is compiled right when it is accessed. Great if you need to quickly make a change here or there

I don't think this is really a problem. Although dynamic typing vs strong typing advantages/disadvantages are a whole 'nother argument, the reason you might choose (say) Python over Clojure for a web app is the ecosystem (libraries, frameworks, deployment), performance (is this a concern for your design?), the syntax (do you like it?) and tools support (IDE's, etc.).

> Obviously you can bring all functionality that the web demands to Go. A jit compiler might help, maybe some loose typing, a few other widgets ... and then, guess what? You turned Go into PHP.

You could say the same about Ruby or Python. Both built up a lot of web-centric libraries and packages. But neither have "turned into" PHP.

Yes, some languages reduce the barrier to entry for certain tasks. But that doesn't mean other languages are a bad choice; they likely have other benefits worth considering.

I like Ack more than grep, but I agree: whitelisting file types isn't fun. I wrote a mostly drop-in replacement for Ack in C (https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher) and the biggest difference in behavior is the file filtering. Ag searches all text files by default, with the exception of those in .gitignore and .hgignore. You can also add patterns to .agignore files if you want finer-grained control. Oh, and Ag is much faster than Ack.

Ack isn't the only thing better than grep. If you're searching in Git repos, you might want to check out git-grep. Another useful tool is Exuberant Ctags: http://ctags.sourceforge.net/

It was from him that I belatedly learned how to properly store passwords.

It would be good for Uber and other companies to take some of these reasons into account and proactively meet some of those needs that led to some of the regulations. A great example that puts them in an awesome position to debate with the taxi commission is having handicap capable cars.

Doing so would put themselves in a position where they are much harder to vilify.

That was the point about "life is not fair" and again about "mitigating" the risks. I didn't say it removes the risks. Nothing does, not even big brother taking all our personal responsibility and freedoms away.
Curious, why? You don't really need more than one browser on your phone. If you installed Chrome and haven't deleted it, one can assume it's because the person prefers Chrome. Otherwise you can just delete it after having tried it out. Or am I missing something?

It can't really even be for testing, since on iOS it's not like it's possible for Chrome to render any differently than in Safari!
Safety regulations are logically distinct from fare regulations. No one would use the fact that the US government sets food health rules with the FDA as a reason for them to set food prices.
Is this limited to 2d and 3d space or can it handle n-dimensions?
The spatial index is an R-tree variant that doesn't degrade and allows concurrent writes (multiples writers at a time, let alone readers). Readers don't block writers and don't use locks, while writers lock a small subset of the database for atomic transactions (one of the most common operations we need to support is a "move" of an object from one location to another - that has to be atomic).

For parallelization of queries and transactions we use fork-join.

Why PadMapper.com and 3taps are both violating Craigslist's terms of use
Bad example. I've never seen a city in more need of stiffer regulation than Bangkok. The single worst part of driving in the city is dealing with agressive or incompetent taxi drivers. They break traffic laws and block lanes looking for fares.

The over-supply of taxis has the opposite effect of a more regulated public transport. It does not reduce the total number of cars on the road. It's useful from a consumer standpoint but the low cost means people are less likely to use the state of the art elevated train and subway, both of which run under capacity.

"Price it like that and a lot less people would own cars." Possibly in other cities -- though I doubt it -- but it certainly didn't help in Bangkok. People don't buy cars because they need them, they buy cars because they want them. The number of news cars sold in the country per day is astounding (though the number escapes me) and that's despite the fact that they cost 50% - 350% more than the same cars in the US.

Bangkok needs to regulate the shit out of the taxi industry and make it more expensive to drive in the city if it wants to sort out its remaining traffic issues.

Uber can probably work in US cities that have the traffic capacity, but it's a horrible idea in congested areas.
