This basically pans down to the Greens or the Lib Dems. The former have just one voice, Caroline[0], in the House of Commons. The latter is led by the guy standing alongside the Prime Minister as this "emergency legislation" was announced, and offered his vocal support. In any case, the Lib Dems will also likely be ground in to dust in the coming general election: currently polling at <10%[1], down from about 25-30% prior to the last[2]. So, even if they were successful at moderating Government policy with respect to social liberties, they soon won't matter.

Every country has its problems, but among western nations it's an outlier in many ways: the police state, militarisation, surveillance, car dependence, obesity, love of guns, poverty, crime, absolute zero trust in government, culture of suing, lobbying, "democracy", horrendous health-care system etc. For me it was just too much, I couldn't take it so I moved back. It's not that my life was bad or directly affected by most of these things except in a few instances. As a healthy, young, childless engineer I was truly privileged in this kind of society, but I realised I don't want to live in a society where almost everybody else suffers. I always enjoyed American culture, that's one of the reasons why I tried living there in the first place, but I think I can enjoy it better from afar.

It's actually my own engine. The whole game started out as an experiment in lightmapping, believe it or not. The graphics are OpenGL, the physics are chipmunk physics ( https://chipmunk-physics.net ), I used Sketch-up and Blender for the 3D design and Lua for scripting.

It's slightly more nuanced than that. Quite a few OSS projects seem to have success with providing free community support forums, online documentation etc. which still require some support but usually an order of magnitude less, and then pay-for 1-to-1 support (paying both for itself as the scarce good, and a portion to cover the "free" support maintenance costs). As always, that "free" support has to be carefully constructed and maintained so that it works in this manner.
It's a bit of a cliché at this point that the bottleneck for DEFCON badges is Customs and they always arrive at the very last minute.

The exception was DEFCON 19's non-electronic, titanium badges, which were not just on time but arrived so early that the DEFCON staff hadn't taken over the conference location yet, so they ended up getting stored in someone's hotel room.
I did not, but am considered it when I saw it. Have either of you used the Mozilla build process?

Chromium/Chrome Build Process: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxBuildInstructio...

Firefox Build Process: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_g...

The pages are in fact different, but the latter in the case of Firefox is what I used to complile it myself (disclaimer: I considered building Chromium from scratch but never found the time interest). As build tools go, I know gyp/ninja are more hip, but I see gyp and mach (both Python based build management tools, I will compare those instead of Ninja which is slightly different) as both good, but do things differently enough to make it an apple-oranges comparison. Keep in mind Chromium people started from scratch, but Mozilla/Firefox devs were building a system on top of autoconf (which everyone hates gathering my reading of many such comments on HN) to simplify the build process.

Can someone who is familiar with both explain why gyp/ninja is superior?
One of the best arguments I've seen on this matter is by Steve Yegge. It's a must read: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/09/programmings-dirties...

Also, remap CapsLock to Ctrl on your keyboard. It makes coding a dream. And if you use Vim or a Vim-mode in your IDE, remap the sequence 'jk' to Esc. I never leave the home row anymore. See http://learnvimscriptthehardway.stevelosh.com/chapters/10.ht...

I just signed up to Pinboard and got your app to help use it on iOS. Initial impressions are good, I like it a lot, but if I could make one feature request I would love to have another way to add bookmarks. If there was a big plus button I could hit in the top left that brought up the 'add bookmark' screen it'd be helpful. I already accidentally dismissed the 'do you want to add the clipboard's link', and I frequently copy full tweets with links I'd like to save (as link + description), (EDIT: these don't trigger the 'link in buffer' prompt). This might also be helpful for pinboard's linkless notes? Anyway, thanks for the great app :)

As a newfound convert to the Conkeror browser, which basically allows you to configure everything through JS and use MozREPL to talk to your browser instance purely through JS, how is this different (notwithstanding the obvious choices in architecture and JS engines)? I mean, it seams like the minimalist JS-run browser has been around for a while (and if not JS, Uzbl did Python as mentioned below, Luakit does Lua). Granted the others do not really run up and down the JS stack, with or without a separate conf language, but I do see this as Conkeroresque.

Am I wrong?

Taking on Uber in India: How Ola Cabs is thinking local to battle a giant
Even if all your assumptions hold, of course, you can still only represent 2^800 universes, and thus only 2^800 different file systems. That's probably sufficient for cases with infrequent read-write cycles, assuming that your floats tend to cover useful time-space coordinates (i.e. where and when a hard drive could plausibly reside). I'm not sure how "space-time coordinates" would work (where is the origin and what is the granularity?), so I don't know if it's likely.

That being said, I would be more concerned by the philosophical and practical consequences of such capability, namely the ability to read hard drives in normally inaccessible locations and hard drives in the future.

Won't help that much.

This happens quite a bit. The only reason they're resorting to this trick is because their usual EU-based one failed.

Yes of course, that's how cookies work. And disabling third-party cookies will
stop the browser from receiving and sending to any third parties.

In your browser, you have several options to deal with cookies: allow all of them,
allow none, or disable third-party cookies only. Let's say I visit attacker-site.com,
which includes both local content and stuff from other domains:

attacker-site.com
|`-- tracking-script.js
|`-- tracking-image.gif
|`-- facebook.com/me
`--- twitter.com/tweet-button.png

Content from other domains is third-party content by definition, and leads to
third-party requests, in this case to facebook.com and twitter.com. If
third-party cookies are disabled, those requests will will not include any
cookies. Even if I'm logged in to Facebook, to attacker-site.com it will appear
as if I'm not.
Thanks! We're still having trouble deciding how to monetize exactly. We were initially thinking $4.99 on Mac. But now we're thinking maybe freemium and you can buy the remaining levels after you've completed the first 9 (for still a few dollars on Mac). What do you think?

Your analysis is obviously wrong. All MY friends don't use Uber and never will. Therefore their market opportunity is miniscule. That should count as absolute proof.
I think the best way to explain monads, at least to programmers with any real experience, is just to show a lot of examples of how they can be used to solve real problems. I went through dozens of explanations before the light finally went on and I saw what a simple concept a monad really is. All the crazy analogies and jargon-heavy discussions only serve to obscure what is really not a complicated idea at all.
I think of software development on a continuum from tactical to strategic. The tactical end of the scale involves faster creation and modification of artifacts. Strategic involves knowing what artifacts to create and why.

To be an outstanding developer, you should be skilled all along the continuum. Those who are slow tactically will only every be able to read books about strategic designs etc, which is good but will limit their skills. I'm reminded of a developer I once knew who thought he had all the answers architecturally, but was such a slow typer and didn't know how to use tools available to modify code that he'd never actually implemented any if the things he dreamed of, and who is going to trust someone with no experience? Also his ideas definitely had a "here's a big picture design, you guys figure out how to implement it" view to them, which meant they usually were not really a good idea.

As such, I think it is important to learn; fast typing (touch typing), fast editing (Vim, regex scripts, and all available refactoring tools), fast local coding (TDD, proper use of functions as an abstraction, and good naming), good module sizing (either namespaces or objects), then good module separation through services or message passing. I had to learn all of these in the last six years. I think every one was valuable. I had to learn to touch type after 22 years not being able to, but it has helped immensely in being able to fluidly get thoughts to editor.
I'm feeling so dumb right now; I've tried so many Caesar's Cypher combinations for problem 3 and can't seem to find the right answer.

OS X has no containerisation equivalent. The closest thing is the venerable chroot, but the behaviour is not comparable.

Perhaps a Docker chroot backend could be built though, for easier development on OS X.
The problem is that for people living outside the US, we already have the right side of the infographic. All our data is vacuumed in and used with impunity and nobody gives a damn whether we want it or not. Most of the discussion so far has been about the circumstances and illegality of spying after US citizens. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is left watching like second or third class human beings who can't have _any_ realistic expectations with regard to having privacy of their data used by US companies (which dominate the market due to several reasons)

* Gophers (the animal) are considered by many to be a pest.

* The Docker logo is a whale carrying shipping containers on its back. Shipping containers that go into the ocean are basically unrecoverable/not worth recovering, and whales spend very little of their time on the surface (meaning all the containers will go into the ocean)

This is as ridiculous as having an airline named after an animal that cannot fly and kills people.

Note, your use of “meta” here is not standard usage in the programming community at large, and is therefore probably confusing to many readers (I’d avoid it in this context).

The sense you mean is a shortening of “metagame”, a term used since the early 2000s or maybe before by Starcraft I players to describe the broad trends in overall strategy and play-style evolving over time as the whole community of players adapt to each-other’s games. The term may have been used in other similar contexts before that time, but as far as I can tell that’s mainly where it was popularized.

Excellent article.

I realize positions need to be based off something, but it always seems strange to me to see analysis like the one being challenged here for a young (albeit large) innovative tech company. Think of Google in 2003, Amazon in 99' or MSFT in 89'.

None of your medium-long term assumptions can stand on very solid ground. What the market is, it's size, it's structure and the company's potential role in it.

Assumption: "the primary market Uber is targeting is the global taxi and car-service market ($100 billion)" - is this correct in 5-10 years? Could Uber target other markets? Deliveries

Assumption: Uber are taking over market share. Can other forms of transport, public or private be replaced by Uber? Where do new technologies (like self riving cars) affect things?

My own speculations gravitate towards efficiencies from having all that data valuable at once.

The 5 seater is a general purpose vehicle for 1-5 people and used for highway driving and for short trips along congested streets. Could Uber's smart system offer regular Sedans for 25 mile highway journeys and golf cart like cars for 1 person inner city journeys?

Could hub and spoke systems exist where several cars take single passengers to a van/shuttle for longer (more expensive) journeys.

Everything is low probability big payoff. Even the the straightforward mission:'take over the existing taxi-limo' is still a high risk-reward proposition. Basically, I think this rebuttal is better than the original analysis. I think neither ow them can give you a number.

I think it'll "hold up in court", for certain definitions of "hold up" Judges are not stupid. No single piece of evidence is 100% reliable and enough to get a conviction. A MAC address will just be another piece of the puzzle. Judges will familiarize themselves with what they are and that they can be spoofed, and will take that into account when evaluating the evidence.
I agree: https://github.com/bolshchikov/js-must-watch/issues/2. :)
London not only have good public transport and horribly slow/congested roads in the centre. We also have cheap minicabs, Hailo, and at least one "Uber-like" that contracts minicab companies rather than individual drivers. And many of the larger minicab fleets seems fairly similar to Uber in the way they operate as well.

(We also have rickshaws; mostly as a tourist novelty, though)

Doesn't mean they can't do well here too, but certainly a different proposition to one where they only competes against normal taxis.
