There's been no riots in Paris, there were in some parts of the suburbs of Paris. I've seen the coverage in the US of the Paris riots and it's true you could feel like Paris was on fire. But living in Paris itself or in the close and nice suburbs (as I do) you would have seen nothing at all.

It's part of the problem: the rioting suburbs are ghettoized and have huge unemployment. There's also a strong stigma if you look for a job with an address there.

It's a real and big issue for France, but for the high-tech jobs and people covered by the article it's a non issue: you'll be in the safe parts and will only see such event on TV. It will have no practical impact on your life.
There was once a software consulting firm called Software Architects or SARK. They paid overtime. Not time and a half, but overtime. It was great. That's how I afforded flooring for my house as a recent college grad. They would even buy dinner if I worked over 10 hours in a day. Sadly they were bought by another firm. That firm is not so kind or forward thinking.

On a human level, salary comparison is only part of the story. It needs to take into account how much ends in your wallet and how much you can buy with that money.
"Violations of the injunction will result in a fine against Uber of 250,000 euros ($328,108) per ride. Uber plans to appeal the decision and said it would continue offering its services until a final ruling has been made."

Is that an error in judgement on Uber's part? Perhaps they'll settle or get the fine reduced if they remain unsuccessful, but with a fine like that per ride, there is a slim possibility that defying the order could send them out of business, isn't there?
umbrella = you become an employee of them. they pay your taxes as if you were a typical pay-e employee, thus you'll hit the 40% tax bracket fairly quickly.

trust = tax avoidance structure, a trust is just one type, there are many others. http://www.contractoruk.com/ebt/

Ltd company[1] = starting your own offical company. Reason to do this is corp tax is only 20%. You need to pay that on your companies profit[2], but if you're patient it's pretty much all you need to pay[3]. Reason: Dividens are essentially tax free upto 31,865, if you have a spouce that's not earning, double this amount. Add in your tax-free allowance on income tax and a married couple can pull between £70-80k a year "tax-free" and you can defer anything else until later years. Your still paying your 20% corp tax on that income, but you also get resonable expenses. Your laptop, travel, maybe a phone for the most part is what is deemed resonable.

[1] This is the way the .GOV.UK wants you to avoid tax. If you have a non-working spouce, it's pretty much the best way until you start earning > 500 p/d and even then some would debate this is the way to do it.

[2] Profit = your companies income - your salary (not dividens) - expenses.

[3] OK so you'll probably want to set aside ~£1000 a year for accountant fees and ~£500 for insurance. Of course these are expenses, so come off your before your 20% corp-tax.
Some germans also buy beef lasagna that's actually horse interlaced with yucky medications, because it's cheap. A lot of germans buy computers at media markt and at the same time complain that the nice guy fixing computers around the corner has to close. He was always so friendly and gave so much recommendations about which parts to buy, where to I go now to get proper advice. We buy bread at the supermarket and complain that it's not the same as back then, when we'd still eat hand-made bread where every loaf was different (I could always tell when the baker was out for a long party by the shape of the rolls).

People are very bad at judging what's in their best interest, especially since often their personal interest at the time when doing the transaction conflicts with they long-term best interest or the societies interest. And so, to some level, some things (like taxi companies) are regulated in germany. This is obviously an imperfect system, but I remain unconvinced that free market rules all is a better system.

There are certainly individuals who prefer Uber and who's interests align very well with Uber, but I'm uncertain that's a majority. That's certainly annoying to those individuals, but that's life in a society, we all have to give at some point.

A simple language could be a benefit for all, not only for beginners.

Extend uilang with more commands (like "after that", "then") and conditions and it would be really powerfull language, that can be used for complex things too.

At the moment every developer with little complex instructions have to comment the code, uilang can reduce this work.

A separate npm module and source files with uilang could be parsed and compiled (like browserify) - (reactjs is a good example for that, include directly in frontend or compile jsx in backend).

I really think you should rethink the project and focus not only on beginners. -> i am not sure they will use it, because you find tons of ressources for things like bootstrap, purecss, ....

The modal age of death for hunter gatherers that survived to adulthood ranges from 65 to 72 among the reasearched cultures.

Sure, a large proportion of them die at early childhood - "life expectancy" measures takes that into account by definition, as it measures the total average life expectancy; and if you get a 100 kids who live to 70 and 100 kids who die as infants, then the average life expectancy is 35.
The main issue with powershell is portability - no guarantee that someone's Windows box will have it installed or not.

I recently wrote a batch script just to make sure it'd run on any Windows system rather than risk powershell. If it was always going to run in a controlled environment, I'd have written it in cygwin bash anyway.

Thanks for the input, @Metatron. Sure, there are all kinds of factors that determine whether a name is good. And uniqueness helps with Google ranking. But I suspect that a simple, original, unspellable, unsayable name can adversely affect your chances of success. And that's why I'm asking whether there is a statistical basis for my assumption.

I would agree that Google is a good name. Certainly slightly better name than "googol", because it's easier to spell. And you would agree that "SearchEnginez.com" would have been a terrible name for Google, no? My question is specifically concerned with whether there is good evidence that if they had chosen a much worse name, they might not be as successful today, or perhaps irrelevant.
1. Let me tell you the secret: if you call and market yourself as junior, then you WILL be limited to junior opportunities. The idea that someone is a junior engineer is a self-limiting and self-filtering belief. Very few companies will say they want junior employees, for good reason (there is something amateurish about calling yourself a junior employee - I can't quite put my finger on it). But that doesn't mean that when a company advertises a "[Normal] Software Engineer" position, you're disqualified (you aren't). Most fresh college grads I know don't call themselves junior engineers; why should you?

2. The market for senior developers is red-red hot. The market for normal software engineers (including junior, entry-level, whatever labels you want) is merely "hot" - but there is still plenty of opportunity to go around. What bohnej is saying doesn't align with what I've seen in SV.

1-4 correct.

5 is not about safety. You enter a regulated market once in case 4 the money you give to the stranger exceeds the cost attached to the ride, smartphone or not. On top, you have no insurance coverage anymore.

Up until 5 you have two people making free decisions.

When you get to number 5 you have a commercial company and an individual, and that changes the relationship.

Here's a US example.

I can drive a car, but if my employer asks me to take a parcel from work to the post office to be posted I need to make sure my insurance covers that commercial activity or I am uninsured.
Good luck using that in Germany.
"Drone technology has not been thoroughly tested in populated areas" - Except by tens of thousands of hobbyists over many decades, with apparently nobody in the press really noticing until recently when cameras got added to the RC loop, which surely makes it less risky as it is much easier to fly, so I am sure it can't be that bad.

"and commercial use of drones is not allowed in the United States." - Although the only legal ruling so far for the first person taken to court by the FAA says that commercial drones are completely legal and that the FAA is talking crap. FAA has asked for an appeal and the NTSB has kicked it into the long grass since March. - http://blogs.findlaw.com/decided/2014/03/faas-commercial-dro...

Because insurance typically affects all victims of a potential accident, and this includes people on crosswalks, in other vehicles and riding bicycles along the road.

If the insurance company deems you 'uninsured' this will result in society picking up the bill.

So the rights of individuals to choose to pick a seller who in that case is uninsured can have consequences for parties other than the two involved in the transaction.
Not sure about German laws, but in many places a court order is not put into effect before the appeals have been dealt with. If and when the appeals are declined, I'm sure they have to shut down business with that kind of fines.

5) is still allowed as long as the driver is not doing it for profit. (Wundercar does that).

The moment you're driving people around for profit you're entering a regulated market. Deal with it.
There is some confusion around the article and it may be because of the way it is written. but here's a brief summary. Hope this helps to clarify:

* The theory/hypothesis is not saying avoid pronouns.

* It's about relative frequencies not absolute.

* The pronoun frequency is looked at in different scenarios:

1. between two people who don't know each other

2. between two people who do know each other

3. pronoun frequencies of an individual in a diary, blog over a period of time.

* The frequency of pronouns in spoken or written language is an unconscious activity. It's something that is hard to fake, unlike body language.

* The words being compared/counted are primarily social identifiers vs determiners and articles.
> Who will pay when those people wind up in hospital, racking up bills of hundreds of thousands Euro, and there's no insurer to cover the cost?

Health insurance. I'm not aware of them not paying for obvious things like accidents, etc. They do avoid paying for things that are not strictly medically necessary, e.g. cosmetic surgery in many cases. But if you get a ride with someone and they get into an accident where you are injured, the question of hospital bills should not arise. At least not for the victim.
It sounds more like "we're not banning drugs, just that if you make a business that involves sedating people then you need to follow certain rules. If you do surgery below cost then you are free to use the drugs."
Oh, fair enough. As far as I can tell, they haven't published anything on that regard.

because externalities and tragedy of the commons.
I agree to a point - I think it's maybe thought about a bit more by those who were building sites when a 1mb page meant a 5 minute download. For those that grew up taking high speed Internet for granted it's thought about a lot less.

That said, when the only way to get the design to work is using alpha transparency, and you know you need a massive 24bit PNG you're caught between a rock and a hard place. Especially when you then have to think about creating the same image at double size to serve to retina displays (because the client asks "why is it fuzzy on my ipad/mac/phone?") - page sizes start to get out of control.
> But there is no surplus in UberBlack, UberPop, UberX.

Not true. A lot of UberX drivers use cars that would otherwise be sitting in a garage. It may not be ride sharing, but it's still a type of car sharing.
Do you have a source for this, that I can show to my boss? :)
A huge one for example is daycare - I pay €220 a month for full time daycare for one of my five daughters near Paris. Everything kid-related is heavily subsidized, so people can actually afford kids and the country does not die of old age.
I'm not aware of any insurance policy that pays retroactively.
"Does uilang support other events? No, uilang lets you only react to clicks. Hover effects can usually be achieved in CSS and other events are simply out of the scope of this language."

I guess if you only need support for adding/removing/toggling classes, and you have no plans of using jQuery, this could be useful. It's 1kb of Javascript, compared to jQuery, which is over 80kb minified. Now, everyone and their dog likely has jQuery cached from a CDN, but it's a good way to reduce unnecessary bloat. If they added one or two common features from jQuery, and used a normal syntax instead of this written non-sense, I could see some people using it as a light version of jQuery.
But now it's a PITA properly handle and escape for any toolset that don't have good xml support. Imagine people starting to put <![CDATA[ ]] blocks into this.
Interesting comment on that page too, a driver was ticketed for not having a valid commercial insurance (ticket copy linked to imgurl).
If you want an elegant feature phone, I'd recommend the Nokia 515. It's sleek, has 1 month standby time, 5 MP camera, decent antenna/speakerphone, send/receive texts, basic email functionality and ultra-basic web access. It's the perfect "sensible" phone and was designed to fill that need:

> I like that Taxi companies need to have extra insurance and the cars and drivers are checked on a regular basis. Just like the TÜV (a mandatory checkup every two years for every vehicle) makes sure all vehicles have functioning lights, brakes, proper tires etc.

Maybe it makes you happy, but is it necessary? I doubt that it is. It seems like regulation for very little purpose. Accidents due to brake failure are exceedingly rare, and police will see if your lights are out (more frequently than once every two years).

Shouldn't regulation should be about more than warm fuzzy feelings?
This is cool even though not immediately practical. Quite similar to my project shorthand.js - http://splatcollision.github.io/shorthand.js/

Mine is a little nicer (IMO of course) and supports a little more than just class toggling (the workhorse of interaction design) such as multiple chained actions per target, and more.

I've always thought of this as an intermediate step - designers for whom this type of thing would be useful would know CSS selectors at least, and could work with a bootstrap-alike. The more useful state would be to expose something like this directly in a web preview environment.
A New Motor Vehicle
The term "new motor vehicle" includes both new motor vehicles and demonstrators; the chassis, chassis cab, as well as propulsion system of a new motor home and any other motor vehicle, which is sold with a manufacturer's warranty of a new car.
For instance, a car, used for a couple of years, that was sold with the remaining one year portion of a manufacturer's three-year new car warranty would be treated as a new motor vehicle.
The term "new motor vehicle," however, has nothing to do with motorcycles.

Quill (London, UK) - passionate, delivery focused software engineers required (Ruby experience preferred but not essential)!!!

Quill has developed a tried and tested, market-leading Platform to manage the workflows, quality control and content distribution of its global content creator Network. We want to accelerate its development, including opening it up on a “Software as a Service” (SaaS/white label) basis for some of our larger clients, who want to build an internal content production capability.

We have a lot of exciting features we want to develop, and we’re looking for a number of (Ruby) software engineers to help meet our roadmap and speed up the global roll out of the Quill Platform. We’re a start-up (3 years old), and that means a fast-paced environment, an agile tech team who are constantly finding pragmatic solutions to ever-changing problems, and continually learning new skills.

Backed by a strong team of digital investors, Quill has recently secured an additional £5m investment that will accelerate its international expansion, advance the SaaS rollout of the Quill Platform and consolidate its position as the UK’s content marketing leader. Quill has been named one of Britain’s 50 most exciting and disruptive businesses as part of the 2014 Everline Future 50.

It's an exciting time to join (so exciting in fact I'm joining as CTO!!!) so if you're passionate about building great software and want to have a major impact on the business get in touch - andybritcliffe AT quillcontent.com. No agencies please we've got a PSL - thanks.
"for the high-tech jobs and people covered by the article it's a non issue: you'll be in the safe parts and will only see such event on TV"

I am fairly sure that coders and geeks from within those Paris suburbs would find your assessment more than a little exclusionary. Ability and interest are not defined by being born somewhere safe.
Also people should probably note:

Contractors do not have:
> job protection
> holiday pay
> sick pay
> easy access to finance

Just like in SV, those getting the high rates get it because they're cocky enough to ask for it. If you do not feel confident you can stay employed at those prices based on your skillset and, more importantly, your personality, you should probably deeply consider the risk vs reward. Essentially, don't come crying to me if you can't make rent, but believe me, those rates are available, just check jobserve.

On the other hand, I'm a contractor, I don't do overtime without getting paid based on my daily.
Was it typical behavior of SPDY before to block the connection unless it could pass cookies through? If not, then it definitely feels like Google is trying to force cookie-usage through the protocol, and by shipping it like this, it forces browser vendors to adopt it as-is.
Yes, silly family to cross the street in front of an uber car between rides before they got insured for that. They should have known better.
> if you need none of the benefits you get in france, you'll get slightly more in SF.

Yes : if you are young, healthy and with no kids, you are better off in the USA, Malta or any other fiscal 'paradise' where you benefit from the lack of solidarity. Otherwise you are better off in a country whose fiscal system takes social welfare in consideration.
I suspect there's very little correlation between the "quality" of startup names (how do you even quantify this?) and the startup's success.

You seem to assume I think Uber shouldn't pay. I don't. I meant what I said, and nothing else.
The mandatory vehicle checkup (TÜV) does more than check the lights. They also check whether the car is structurally sound -- any broken beams or similar. I'm happy that they exist.
