After limited protest/outrage in communities like /r/india, the news finally hit big when a comedy group AIB decided to make a video explaining what Net Neutrality is: https://youtu.be/mfY1NKrzqi0 and then it finally hit mainstream media. Amid pressure from everywhere, Flipkart finally withdrew from the Airtel Zero deal which would have been a blow to Net Neutrality in India.

Of course, next step was Internet.org and similar initiatives, which on paper sound like a fantastic idea until you look deeper and begin to see the NN violation problem. This is welcome news indeed. Btw, this was Zuckerburg's response when posed this question: https://i.imgur.com/PAwf6e3.png "Some connectivity is better than no connectivity, hence the violation of NN is justified"

I was nodding in agreement throughout the article until the solution was presented, or at least the implementation of it. Maybe it's truly genius and am I just not understanding it properly, but the fact I had to go over it multiple times to grasp wtf is going one isn't exactly a good sign, I think.

The idea behind the solution is definitely ok: you define a type with a bunch of immutable properties describing it. But surely there must be more elegant/easier to read/easier to understand ways to do this than to have a bunch of macros/includes inside enums and whatnot? Moreover the TUPLE macro is declared twice with the same arguments (and then the arguments are repeated once more) so that means extending the type has to be done in 2 places which is exactly one of the things warned about earlier.

Seems like you can't add a system.webServer node on the machine.config, but you could add it to applicationHost.config (source: http://www.iis.net/learn/get-started/planning-your-iis-archi... ) so yes, that would be faster. You have to make sure that none of your web.config files override that setting though!

Of course its for publicity. Its a for profit business. If you can give something to the consumers and get something out of it at the same time, its daft not to do so.

I don't understand the concern here at all. Clearly you've maintained enough sense to call Uber instead of drive home, so what are you concerned about here?

Honestly, I think people need to step back from this negative image trying to be branded onto Uber to evaluate their projects a little more objectively. Calling it perverse, is rather extreme.
The saferide at schools I went to(large state schools) was limited to students who they deemed 'needed' it so if you stated you didn't feel safe, or that you were drunk they would provide a ride. If you were sober, felt safe, and were honest though they would not provide you with a ride. I know I tried at both schools I attended. Some of us would take more moral issue with lying to abuse a resource in way other than its intended purpose, than with getting drunk so we could use it honestly.

You can easily 'lie' to the breathalyzer to make yourself read as over the limit without drinking more also, so for me it is the same issue.

> While I see the migration of check-ins to swarm as Foursquares way to say individual check-in data is largely useless, their data on latitude and longitude of businesses as well as their somewhat lengthy knowledge about the venues from user reviews is very valuable

The problem is that without ongoing individual check-ins the aggregate data becomes stale and useless, especially when you're talking about the kind of small businesses that are going to make up the long tail of any monetization strategy. There's no way Yahoo! would do this as a pure data play unless they have a plan to revive the individual check-ins.
This used to happen regularly before central locking systems. When I was a kid, buying a used car meant you didn't have central locking. I was probably 17 before my family had our first car with central locking.

Anyway, what happens there is you usually lock all doors before closing them. Then when you close them, if the key is inside, oops.

This is mitigated in slightly moderner cars by the fact that driver-side doors don't lock when they're open.

So I guess we had this beautiful period of the last 15 or 20 years where we locked our cars by pressing a button on the key. Makes it impossible to lock your keys into the car.

I wonder if we're going to decide that was better than keyless before keyless becomes widespread.

Minor nitpick: new cars are not without bother. It's just that when (not if) something breaks, you don't pay for the repairs. But you still have to go through the hassle of taking it to the garage, driving a rental in the meantime, etc.

And if you take depreciation into account, you can do a bloody lot of repairs on a used car before it's more expensive than a new one with free repairs.

You could probably increase your Breathalyzer reading sharply by gargling with a few mL of hard liquor seconds before taking the test. (I understood this as an unmanned device.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathalyzer#Mouth_alcohol

"[C]ertified breath-test operators are trained to observe a test subject carefully for at least 15–20 minutes before administering the test [... A] very tiny amount of alcohol from the mouth, throat or stomach can have a significant impact on the breath-alcohol reading." If so, people who haven't been drinking at all but are willing to carry around a flask of liquor might be able to get free rides home at any time.

Sure. I read est as saying that Administrators are more restricted in Server 2008 than they were in earlier Windows versions. I assumed they were talking about the relatively well known technique of scheduling a cmd shell to run as SYSTEM, which that blog mentions being prevented in Server 2008.

But you would still expect an Administrator account to be able to load files onto the system, so obtaining the SYSTEM shell remains pretty easy.

The distinction between SYSTEM and Administrator was a convenience, and if I understood est correctly, it still is.
At least those deaths are almost entirely by choice.
Those haven't been automated with a breathalyzer kiosk though.
> But if your blood alcohol level is high enough to impair your ability to drive safely, who's to say what other abilities it might impair?

Dude, in most countries (including most US states) your blood alcohol is legally above the limit after two beers. Do you really think most people are royally fucked with their "other abilities" after just two beers?
It's a glue language. I don't expect people to transpile things, but it's an option on the table.

I think this update actually makes sense. A great deal of Tinder users list their Instagram username in their Tinder profiles (Usually as "IG: <username>"... it took me forever to realize what IG stood for).

I think this is a case of Tinder observing how their users behave, and giving them functionality that they'll actually want.

I don't see any way to even ask the question sensibly about iOS.

Google supplies an OS (Android) to non-Google phone makers, and Google supplies applications to non-Google phone makers. The potential antitrust issue is if Google is using its position as an OS supplier to other companies to influence those other companies to also choose Google for applications.

Apple supplies neither an OS nor applications to non-Apple phone makers. There is no third party that Apple is using iOS to influence toward choosing Apple applications.
I don't think there's a moral duty to do so, but neither do I see how doing so hurts/is wrong. You're only opening tech space to people that might be as or more talented that people already in the pool, but that might be lost because they were never told "you can actually do this".
Ha! That's where I was at. Looks like C-L-I is the way forward. I might secretly pronounce it "clee" when I'm alone though ;)
What if you never had to push to github? What if you could boot up your Chromebook and head over to your repo, work on it, do the push-to-deploy dance, and never edit a local copy?

I'd hate it. But 2 full-time engineers? Yeah, that's eminently justifiable.
"So where does the obvious gender bias in the industry come from? It's actually gotten worse since the 1980s, not better."

In terms of what? I have worked at many different small and mid-sized companies and they all had women employed as developers, designers, and other positions. I know this is just my own personal experience, but if this were really as big of an issue, I would think I would see much less women in these positions.

"One is that women simply aren't as good at programming as men are. The other is that there is a persistent and difficult cultural bias against women in this industry."

So there are only two explanations? In what world are there only two explanations? Especially with something as complicated as human interactions and culture.

"But complaining about the "assault on the technology industry" in the form of pointing out that we have a sexism problem? That's not good engineering, bro."

If the 'stats' and 'information' against the tech. industry are intentionally biased and used to mislead a reader into believing a specific viewpoint, then yes, it's an assault.

I think one of the reasons that there are less women in silicon valley is because the 70 hour+ per week lifestyle doesn't work very well when you want to have a family/children. It's the same for men with children. You will not get as many promotions (or raises) in a company if you have to leave early often for appointments or just want to spend time with your children. I've seen it too often in practice to not believe it.

It's also something that isn't even talked about in all of those studies about women and men salary comparisons. When you account for the women that leave to raise kids (which interrupts many careers during a time when you gain the most experience), salaries are almost the same for both men and women.

Bullshit. Facebook cannot become AOL (which is what all the platforms desperately want to become) unless they can vertically integrate with the network.

They cannot currently do that in the US and most of the global north because of antitrust and the growing support and knowledge of net neutrality (thanks, Tim[1]).

But maybe they can get away with it in the global south ... plenty of market share there ...

The real issue is why are bars legal in the first place? Not being a user of alcohol but living next to a bar I constantly ask that question. If they really wanted to catch drunk drivers just sit in front of my house and you would pick up a couple an hour.

Also how can you call yourself a adult and then go out get completely shitfaced then go "Oh no, I don't have a way to get home." like it was a unavoidable consequence of existence.

Interesting article. The site has alternative views.
I didn't mean to join all of the other criticisms of the program; I was just interested in the reliability of the Breathalyzer as a way of achieving the apparent goal, which I think is low. I'm not particularly bothered or concerned that Uber is doing this.
I don't think so. Assuming circular orbits is certainly more "almost right" than "wrong" to me. By the way, Copernicus' circular heliocentric model was refined a few decades (not centuries) later by Kepler with elliptic orbits.

I was in a similar predicament (not prison) where I had zero access but wanted to continue to hone in on my skills.

My advice is to learn something like HTML/CSS.

It is really easy to read and understand. Send him a "before and after"

Sheet 1: some b, i, title, font, etc tags marked up in HTML with data

Sheet 2: the "after" sheet of what it looks like rendered

Each week the remote student will be tasked with writing out a basic website. He / she sends in his work to the teacher that inputs the data (bonus points for OCR.)

The teacher sends back the rendering along with the next lesson plan.

From there you can go into CSS. Javascript would be a little harder but think how advanced you can get at HTML/CSS in a few years?

Being that I already had knowledge, I took time to hone in on more theoretical skills such as UX and read a ton of books related to user experience, business, etc.

Rimworld releases Alpha 10 – introduces Joy System
So right now the #1 reason I use Uber/Lyft is because I am drunk or plan on drinking and don't want to:

A. Leave my car downtown and have to get it in the morning

B. Give drunk Josh the option to drive. I'd rather take a Lyft, not drink and take a Lyft back then take the chance that I will made a very stupid decision while drunk and drive home.

I'm rarely "shitfaced" but most of my friends use Uber/Lyft that same way I do so I'm always drunk or planning or being drunk when I take a Lyft. For everything else I just drive myself.

What I'm trying to say is Uber/Lyft drivers already deal with this so if this initiative helps to keep drunks off the road (both driving and walking, which I've heard can be even more dangerous than driving) then I'm all for it.
This is their plan exactly. However, we have been able to get 6 out of 39 brands to pull their support back. Hopefully, tomorrow we will see even better support!
Data Processing Technician at the time was more along the lines of things like running batch jobs, loading punch cards, loading tapes, and so on. And straight-up data entry work as well.

And some of it was like IT people now, but generally less technical. It was more mechanical, not a coding type job.

It's pretty different from what we classify as computer science degrees now.
I think they both sort of have feature-parity. I prefer go-plus massively though because it's features run on save without any configuration on my end.

Lots of factors at play here. Till a few months ago, India didn't even have a competition commission. We have no anti-trust laws.

You also have to understand the history of telecom in India, especially the Value-Added-Services on mobile. They killed startups ( http://rashmiranjanpadhy.com/2015/04/12/airtel-kills-startup... ), they activated services without users' consent and so on. Can you imagine how big this fraud was in India where 40% of the people are not even literate? It was plain and simple fraud.

Everyone and his uncle learned to curse the telcos in that era. Now they're coming for the web, disparagingly calling it "Over-The-Top services".
I totally agree with the point that the total number of murders from terrorists has not been that big in the grand scheme of things (not to make light of it). However, this kind of statistic is often used to justify a claim like "you are more likely to be killed by a cop than a terrorist," and I think that point of view is ridiculous. Surely some significant percentage of people killed by the police directly caused the showdown that killed them. I believe my personal likelihood of being killed by a cop to be very low because I plan to never endanger the life or limb of the police or innocent folks around me.
Yep. Another reason folks are against systemd, as it also includes a baked-in http server. Systemd is also poised to become a veritable "second kernel" on linux systems and nobody seems to care enough to stop it.

We aren't close to affordable quantum computing because we don't have quantum computing at any price point, let alone at an affordable one.

This is exactly why I am really happy to be working in a language which doesn't support macros. Are they performant? Yes. But they absolutely ruin code readability and make debugging harder also (as you're stepping through "code" which only exists post-compile).

A sample size of one, but I had an external ST3000DM001, attached to an ARM Linux server, and it failed in about 9 months. In its enclosure, it reported an "airflow temperature" of 56°C while sitting on my desk.

It's important to recognize that there are many competitions in which being ahead has negative value.

When I was a teenager, I occasionally indulged in drinking competitions. If I challenged you to a drinking competition today, would you accept? Would you feel bad that I was ahead of you because I drank more? Would you find it hard to not start drinking at 7:30 in the morning to keep up? Would you resent the idea of having kids because it would mean drinking less?

Working is like drinking: fine in moderation, an unwise thing to turn into a competition, poisonous and destructive in prolonged excess. Anytime you find yourself tempted to get into a working competition, think of it as being tempted to get into a drinking competition.
