Uninsured Uber drivers are causing harm to other road users. Uber is blatantly ignoring the law to make more money at the expense of the rest of society. This leads to Uber getting punished by the courts. No laws need changing.

It is, actually, an issue specific to driving businesses, and Uber is far more lenient than the law.

Uninsured and unlicensed drivers are normally very rare because many, many people in large cities such as Paris (where Taxis services thrive) very rarely drive. Companies such as Uber incentivize unlicensed and uninsured motorists to drive by making it profitable with seemingly far less control than existing businesses, hence the panic reaction and public debate on the matter.

Paris is relatively small but very dense, and can be maze-like. You can live in Paris and be completely lost a few hundred meters away from your place. Streets and directions are hard to follow and remember, and distances are skewed by traffic, one-way-streets, pedestrian zones, bus lanes and cycle lanes. Some streets open and close depending on the hour of the day/night or the season. It can seriously be a mess and you simply can't assume you're going to be a decent professional Parisian driver just because you live in Paris.

Lastly we all have a proper ID, so it's absolutely viable not to have a driver's license at all (provided you don't drive). Driving itself in Paris is generally a time-sink and a money sink. You only drive when you don't have a choice. For me, that's only when I'm on holiday away from the city.

Insurance is another matter, and yes it's illegal to drive an uninsured vehicle, and you also need a special license to drive for profit.

Postgres does use row level locking, it just doesn't lock for reads - so you still get write-write conflicts on the same row. The same is true for InnoDB.
This article is extremely misleading and false. They are in the process of putting a expert commission in place that would give a opinion on migrating back to windows or not. Not even this expert commission is in place now. The original article in German states exactly this.

From what I gathered from German news the last couple of years is the following: The mayor Dieter Reiter is very Pro-Microsoft, so is his second in command. The levels below that are happy with Linux or want to deal with the whole issue rationally. Many employees are not happy with Linux, but its not clear to which extend. IT is very happy with Linux, but they would need around 20% more staff.

Although Microsoft claims otherwise the migration to Linux hasn't cost the city a dime more. They'll save a lot of money in the future and were able to give a lot of engineering effort back to the community. In the long run its way cheaper than a Microsoft solution.

Full Disclosure: I'm a avid Linux user myself, but I'm not sure if its the right OS for administrative work. Especially since everybody still uses MS Office formats.
Extremely Private Things Your iPhone Knows About You
Not to mention that the any ability to do proper range queries would offer relatively easy ways to hack the encryption.

I've been thinking a lot about this and the only way to handle the problem this tries to solve is to:

* treat the database as a collection of events

* let each event have a visibility that matches our concept of privacy (public | shared with X, Y & Z | private)

* have this communication encrypted using already existing OTR protocols (see some of Moxie Marlinspike's posts on it)

* make the database queryable on this aggregate of event data.

It's really just a case of finding the essential complexity and making it as simple, but not simpler, than that.

The annoying thing is that while it's a tough bullet to bite; it's not even that though. Something like Datomic could already get you halfway there.
I didn't feel like signing up to comment on the article, but he's wrong about the license.

It is rare that you are linking the database code with your code. Therefore, the difference between BSD and GPL code will rarely, if ever, matter for a database user.

If you think you'll have to modify the code of the database, the license would matter.
Does anyone actually have a source that shows YouTube has actually implemented technology that is doing this? Contrary to popular belief music videos are still encoded and mastered for delivery to VEVO by a few companies. Universal Music also has one of the largest catalog of popular artists. VEVO transcodes them and publishes to their platform. If they let Google transcode them or not I do not know. Depends on the partnership.

The screencap doesn't have an experience requirement so I am guessing fresh graduates and/or those who never got a BSC and are desperate. We're all laughing at the posting because we probably have had the misfortune to work at a place like that, or know someone who has.

I spend a lot of time working on open source. (I never do so at my dayjob.)

The second an open source project demands my time, I shut my computer down and go for a walk. Out of spite, to be truthful. Whatever is wrong, it can wait.

I've rarely ever accepted a request from an employer to stay late to work on something. And when I did, I regretted it later.

I'm passionate by most peoples' standards, and even I wouldn't subject myself to that treatment.

I can't even call people willing to do this masochistic.
I couldn't figure out why the downvotes so fast, but after reading my reply I think I get it. Because my reply suggested talking to the police. If so, you're are correct, I take back my suggested response above. It only can clue in the officer to note any and every adverse condition regarding the stop. Saying instead "I don't believe I was going fast." is the most one should say in a reply to the question "any reason you were going so fast?"
5 reasons why Couples gonna love Apple Watch
My point is:

- In order to (re-)install Windows you need your drivers

- If you have a previous install, then you need to copy the drivers and keep them

- If you don't, you're screwed and it's your fault

I don't think it is normal for a consumer OS to require this step, especially since Linux which is not a consumer-oriented OS does it. I'm not saying it's some part of a plan to impeach freedom/my rights/whatever, actually I just think it's completely in line with the expectation that consumers will not install their OS, only OEMs will, and no extra effort is made for those who want to tweak their computer; it is expected that computers are sold with Windows and that people don't change that. Fair enough, it's totally aligned with their strategy.

Now I'm not saying you don't need any external drivers in Linux (looking at you, NVidia), but in my experience (same for many people, including the guy from the post) you can get to work with a bare ISO. I'd expect every commercial OS to be at least as good as that.

> You are clearly a Linux "advocate" and you don't really care about this except to the extent that you can denigrate Windows to make your "side" seem superior.

Can we grow up ? For everything I'm personally interested in, yes, Linux clearly is better. But for the wider world, no one can seriously believe Linux is able to replace Windows, and for a good reason. It is not superior nor is it inferior (and clearly the ease with which you can install it is irrelevant compared to how you actually use it)

In short: don't look for a "Us vs Them" when there is none. I'm pointing what I think is a weakness in Windows, that doesn't make it weak or inferior.
I think we need more power than voting. If we had more control over funding, gov wouldn't be able to be as brazen with some of its actions. We wouldn't have nearly as much war, for example. Not many would fund it. They would rather spend their money on a house downpayment or their children's education, rather than destroying people and property on the other side of the world.
I'm actually surprised at how low the IE number is - for government websites. Obviously you can't compare it to the traffic on HN or Techcrunch, where like 70 percent must be on Chrome and 5 percent on IE, but seeing how some analystics sites still put IE at 50 percent market share, I think that's quite impressive.

Or NetApps' market share numbers are crap, and StatCounter's (and others') numbers are a lot closer to reality - which is that Chrome dominates the web browser market.

The aligns very closely with my experience in a distributed startup. Of course there are challenges like the ones mentioned in the StatusPage post, but I felt that post exaggerated the problems greatly. For example, complaining about a 3 hour time difference and lamenting that this meant almost no overlap in working hours for team members. Sure, if your team makes no effort at all to align working hours when needed.

There are a few points that stand out and ring true to me. As someone who has thrived as a remote worker and made a career of being a generalist, I was similarly surprised to hear from StatusPage that these qualities aren't compatible. My team members and myself especially picked up new languages, tools, roles, and responsibilities and ran with them.

As far as communication, weekly phone meetings (no video needed) coupled with in-person meetings maybe once or twice a year served to keep us all on the same page. The main method of day-to-day communication was via persistent chat rooms and direct chats between people as needed.

After years of great progress, we had a successful exit in 2014. When I find my next team, it will definitely be in a remote role, as the benefits to me are so great that I've essentially ruled out working in an office in the future. If you've convinced yourself that your organization can't operate with remote workers, then good luck and I hope you find the team members you need.
Well your security is definitely worse than Amazon's. Please prove me wrong.

I think the fallacy in you comment is that you think about storage as it was not using energy and network. If add those costs to the bill, are you sure that you are still cheaper? On the other hand, I much rather pay a monthly fee that I can turn off if things go sideways, than buy extremely expensive gear that I cannot get rid off at all.

Just to summarize:

- monthly cost is almost all the time better for small businesses
- your security is way worse than Amazon's
- the overall cost of your operation has to include electricity and network for the complete comparison

My experience is that companies rarely need expensive network storage gear and most of the time it is better for everybody to split up the problem and make it horizontally scalable. There are also other solutions, using distributed storage engines running on commodity HW. Having said that, there are quite few companies out there with SAN/NAS solutions, because this is what traditional computer vendors were selling for a long time. I think by time we are going to see more horizontally scalable storage solutions going forward.
Having used MySQL for every side-project and website I've ever worked on, last month I finally switched to Postgres.

The main motivation was that MySQL doesn't support a native UUID datatype (!!!) but, having switched, it seems that Postgres is much better thought-out and designed. For example, it supports a wider range of types and I find it less confusing to choose the right type compare to MySQL. It appears to support unicode better. Its system of privileges and roles seems more logical. Lots of small things like this add-up.

I'd definitely recommend checking it out.
I'm not sure how you're expected to value equity - most of the stuff I find online recommends valuing it at basically zero - or what the market is like in San Fran, but where I live, you can do quite a bit better than $100k and still have work-life balance. So the only real compensation they're selling is the dubious honor of working for yet another startup that thinks it will change the world.

There's not many outcomes to that scenario if you look at the budgets involved.
It's not evil government regulations that leads to Uber drivers being uninsured. It's private insurance companies who, aware of the greater risks, don't cover commercial driving as part of their regular insurance policies.

So it's a case of the free insurance market working correctly to price risk, and Uber coming in and shitting all over that and effectively asking for governments to legislate to exclude Uber drivers from the normal insurance market by allowing them to drive commercially without commercial insurance.

If Uber gets their way it would mean jacking up insurance prices for everybody and making the insurance market far less efficient. Why should wider society pay to insure Uber drivers just to make Uber more profitable?
$100k for 60+ hour work weeks in San Francisco does not as that great an opportunity. And $100k is the top of the salary range.

I've been on (and managed) both in-house and remote teams. As an employee, I love the flexibility of working for a remote team -- you're more focused on getting the work done versus spending 'x' hours a day in your office or in your cube. On managing a remote team, it emphasized my need to ensure that everyone had a clear understanding of the tasks at hand for that day/week/month and that we were all communicating effectively (We used IRC, VoIP phones with a built in VPN (they could be on the 'network' when plugged into the back of the phone), and google hangouts).

If you add in the fact that I'm basically in rural Appalachia (Eastern Kentucky) and there aren't that many DevOps/Linux SysAdmin jobs for guys out here -- I'm almost forced to be a complete remote resource for most companies. I've been doing a fair amount of interviewing recently -- I've had companies tell me that their engineering staff is completely remote but their DevOps team is an extension of corporate IT and that they need to be in the office for that (um, what?), that I'd be their first remote employee (scary), or that they have a cloud environment and they want a distributed team, but, everyone's in an office somewhere because they don't have enough internal support for a remote workforce.

From a manager's perspective, letting go control of your team is scary: you lose the ability to check in on your employees by walking to their desk, you lose the 'butt in seat' visibility of your team, and you lose the 'over the cubical' conversations. What they don't immediately see is that those same things still exist, and still happen, but in different mediums. Employees will still chat amongst themselves in IRC, managers will still message people or note who is or isn't here based on activity. Giving up that control resulted in a productivity boost for my team -- almost everyone (there was one employee who had an interesting home situation and we had to get him office space to work) was twice as productive at home than they were in the office. We still had our team dynamic -- we'd meet up once a week for dinner and work from a shared working space one afternoon a week -- but we felt closer to one another and understood our goals and targets more.

As far as I remember, the main difference in point of view was that the PNG guys (rightly so, IMO) saw animations as something different from a still image, and wanted to keep that distinction, also in the face of MIME types, file headers, file name extensions, etc., while lots of other (misguided) people wanted animation as a feature in an image format, because they were used to that from GIF.

> this estimate is never honored by dealers.

The "build your car" tools on the websites always represent the "as low as" price. It assumes all possible rebates, many of which you aren't eligible for. If you were a military veteran who recently graduated college with great credit and an account at a credit union with a pre-existing arrangement with that dealership, and are also trading in a same-brand car while trying to purchase a model with flagging sales, then tada, you can easily get the "as advertised" price.
