No, by disruption he probably means becoming a multi-billion dollar business, not to an anti-regulatory stance. Could Uber have succeeded if they had tried to follow all of the regulations like Hailo did?

And by innovation, he probably doesn't refer to the slur that you did by calling their workforce "gypsies" but to the resource locality problem solved by an app.
You are being downvoted because the language comes with well-defined and specifically designed ways to customize allocation/deallocation. Your approach choses to ignore those facilities and even adds a runtime decision to code that absolutely has no need for it. You are reinventing the wheel and it is not even round.

To my understanding, Ubuntu Core is much similar to the idea of Lennart: http://0pointer.net/blog/revisiting-how-we-put-together-linu...

I don't feel saying them as either bad or good compared to Nix. Until you try a system, there's little to say only from the theory.

We'll see how Ubuntu Core with snappy performs, and this question will be more relevant in a few months.

Nix is not perfect but certainly has a long story maintaining this kind of packaging.

Strong persecution and us-versus-them phrasing going on here. This is our government, our representatives, the people we elected and allow to perform these actions. We as a whole may not be as directly culpable, but we certainly are not clean of conscience. It evokes thoughts of "this happened on our watch". Even for those not residing in the USA, there is responsibility.

> There is no value to me, or others, from having the the driver "licensed to carry passengers."

The value is in that the license can be taken away if the owner does not comply with the appropriate requisites for the activity. The relationship between a taxi driver and their passenger extends way beyond the mere act of driving, so the driver's license is not enough.

Obviously some are, some aren't.

It depends heavily on how those four days are managed, the nature of what you specifically need to be doing while "on duty", etc.

Reasonable companies will recognize that an efficient 32 hours can be as productive (or more so) than an inefficient 40 hours. The trick is to show that this is the reality of what happens.

If you can generate empirical evidence supporting the same, it should be an easy sell. Good defect and task tracking can help with this.

Yes, it is group selection, and group selection has been badly maligned for almost 50 years now. But a large body of literature confirms group selection. See David Wilson's book, Unto Others. Group selection is especially effective in the case of population dynamics. See Michael Gilpin's monograph, Group Selection in Predator-Prey Communities.

And the Demographic Theory has been validated in computer models http://mathforum.org/~josh/LogiSen-EER.pdf and http://mathforum.org/~josh/PRLS4Oikos.pdf
That is the way to do it, because I think it's a mistake to copy another user's ~/.vimrc especially if you aren't aware of why those settings are in use. You'll learn more, faster, if you start with a blank ~/.vimrc and build it up yourself.

Another tip to advance up the learning curve is to start using vim for everything, not just code. Write email, todo's, documentation, and everything else with it and pretty soon the learning curve doesn't feel so steep anymore.

I sprung for the paid version, and have progressed part of the way through the last level. Compared to the demo, I think that it helped with some more advanced features, but mostly just made me aware of them rather than giving me the proficiency I learned with the basic commands. Perhaps if I repeated the game, I'd become more natural with them.

Still, highly recommended. It's been a lot of fun to play, and it helped me to quickly become proficient.
The smartest dog
Nothing about "Emit X when you encounter P except if the third element of type Z (if it exists) of the grandparent of P is a Q with attribute TUESDAY having value FIZBIN emit Q's content transformed according to rule Y" has anything to do with a particular presentation of the data.

What one does is transform different input sources (using XSLT) into a common XML data format, applying stupid rules like the above. Then one applies another transform from the common data format (again using XSLT) to something like HTML, or XSL-FO, or CSV.

"Separation of presentation and query" is really orthogonal to both the use of XSLT and the inevitability of needing to apply complex rules when processing real-world data. XSLT and XPath just happen to be better at expressing those transformations than most other languages, and they certainly have the largest installed base.
Because what you've written doesn't make much sense? You can't pass a type as a function parameter to a user defined function, and if you mean the builtin "new" (no capital) then that uses the normal allocator.
For me, what finally worked, after many other attempts, was:

1. Run through vimtutor thoroughly [~30 mins].

2. While doing that, memorize the 10-15 commands in the tutorial that stick. Leave the rest (for a later time).

3. Start using vim full-time from now on.

Worked perfect!

This bootstrap material design also does not resonate here .. its hard to get right. I do not like the animations or pointless overlapping panels either.

But stop? I disagree because Google's material design is not about the animations. Its about using minimal appearance chrome to strengthen UI context. Is it part of something, or is it "laying" on top of it? Is it approaching me, or laying back? Its 2,5D.

For example note how the button shadow intuively distinguishes it from a card or other UI-panel.

I see good things for Material Design whenever we have 2,5D or 3D displays in our devices. And so wil iOS with its icon/background parallax effect, which for now is only a gimmick. These where basically made with that in mind.

my employer was kind enough to send me and while I enjoyed most of it I'm sorry but I feel the urge to nitpick:

> the organization was perfect

was really not considering this wasn't a free event/meetup and had plenty of big sponsors.

Sessions got delayed by 10/15/20 even 30 minutes continuously, including the opening and closing keynotes on day 1 and 2 (!!). On day 2 it was very disappointing to show up on time in the morning and being prevented from even entering the room because all of a sudden the keynote was going to start 30 minutes late (which was really more like 40).

The main room had a ridiculous single file entrance/exit, food was ok on day 1 but disappointing on day 2 (little sandwiches). Lots of noise coming from regular visitor to the museum and even from people just walking past the venue since the main room had glass walls directly to the outside.

Also having day 2 on a national holiday with lots of families visiting the museum wasn't a great idea re noise.

As I mentioned: I'm nitpicking but it had to be said
Ads that use language like that often go on to say suspicious things like "build great exposure for your work" and then finally come right out and say "unpaid role".
Playing a hero with the wrong runes, masteries, and summoner spells (because the game won't let you pick the right ones) is playing a gimpy fake version of the hero. Similarly, if you had to play Street Fighter 3: Third Strike Chun-Li with Super Art 1 while levelling up your summoner to unlock Super Art 2, you would be playing a gimpy fake version of the character.

Why do we expect that playing a fake version of the hero against other fake heroes is better training for playing the real game than just playing the real game? What if the player picks up habits that are only good when the opponent cannot use the correct runes, spells, and masteries? In our Street Fighter example, people could learn to do things that Chun could punish with SA2 but not with SA1, and they would get away with them until their summoners reached the max level.

What if the player is an experienced LoL player who moved to a different continent, or a genre savvy player, or a LoL player whose previous account was banned? These players can't really benefit from the forced grind, even if it has any benefits.
What makes us think that they didn't check on him? It would be harsh of Uber to suspend/terminate a driver from one complaint, and what kind of check could they have done to detect that he would attack passengers in this way in the future?

In any case, I think it's important to consider how this would play out in a pre-Uber world. If someone took a taxi ride and got attacked by the driver prior to Uber, there was very little evidence pointing to that driver. Passengers would need to remember their identification details or number plate after an event that tends to leave people quite mentally shaken. Not a good outcome; I think there's a good chance they would still be searching for the driver if this hadn't been facilitated by Uber.
Out of the box, no CDN has a purpose built product to address this. The closest I have seen addressing the problem is that from Varnish : https://www.varnish-software.com/product/varnish-api-acceler...

However most CDNs will try to cache it but not provide acceleration for dynamic ones.

In my case you are always guarateed 1 round trip between pronto nodes for dynamic traffic and cache whatever we can

On top of it, I am doing dedpulication/compression of JSON

Finally a CDN bills on bytes thus making it less profitable for them whereas we bill on number of requests

Hope that clarifies why a CDN doesnt cut it for APIs

Hmm, well right now users are complaining it's too easy to view other people's boards because the url is https://www.taskfort.com/view/10

The only way to not view a person's board is if it's private.. There are some services that for their pages will have id's that are 7 or so characters long, and very compact, the uuid you're referencing seems kind of ugly.

I would still keep my incremental ID in the table as a PK, but maybe I could generate a new value per row for a public URL ID. That public url id could be based off of their PK but I don't know what would be the best way to generate a short url id w/ the PK as a key.

See above. API calls have a per use cache rather than one cached object to serve to many thus decreasing the cache hit ratio which makes it inconvenient for any CDN to make money

glaring example of Uber compromising safety of their passengers. Had they taken timely action...

The suspect in question was implicated in 2 other rape cases and on bail for multiple other criminal charges. At what point is the Indian government responsible for this guy being at large?

Also, what was reported to Uber was allegations of "staring" and just generally making the passenger feel uncomfortable. While thats definitely not cool and not the experience anyone wants to have with Uber, thats hardly enough to fire someone.

I don't think that them "acting" would've stopped anything. At the end of the day those drivers are contractors and I never judge Uber on what a driver says to me or how they act.

Uber has a duty to provide and ensure safety. I personally think they live up to that in the US.

Edit: here's the pitch:

* Lightweight: about 0.5kB!

* Pure CSS-only (no CSS preprocessor needed)

* Fluid (by default, but you can set a fixed width or max-width if you want)

* Responsive

* Unlimited number of breakpoints (you can define your own Media Queries)

* Mobile-first compatible (block width is 100% by default)

* Content-first compatible (you can swap columns and you can define your own breakpoints for each content in your page to fine-tune and optimize your content readability: not only 'tablet' or 'smartphone' breakpoints)

* Semantic (as much as a pure CSS grid could be ;) )

* Very simple (just have to define blocks and groups of blocks)

* Unlimited number of columns (no 12 or 16 columns restrictions: blocks just require a width in percentage)

* Unlimited nested grids

* Manage consistent gutters (gutters can be defined in pixels or ems, which is better than percentage-based solutions because it allows consistent gutters even in nested grids)

* Automatic rows (when a row is full, the next blocks go to a new row without doing anything)

* No dependencies

* Compatible with CSS frameworks such as Twitter Bootstrap or Zurb Foundation (you can use the Bootstrap or Foundation components such as buttons, tabs, etc. and use the Pocket grid for other layout)

* Compatibility: IE6+, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, and mobile browsers (iPhone, iPad, Android...)
