Doesn't have to be a white/yellow curb. Put your location to a spot that has a place where the cab can easily pull over eg, driveway, fire hydrant, etc.

the concern here is the blocking of traffic, not legality. Corners often have space to pull over without blocking traffic.

There are a ton of things they could do with their app and it's messaging (eg,Encourage people to drag their pin drop to a corner).

Try cycling in SF again. Things have changed a lot in the last year or so. I've been bike commuting in SF for 10 years, and the last year has been by far the worst. And most bad actors are uber and lyft cars.

As a downtown sf commute cyclist, my anecdotal experience is that traffic now is much worse than the same time last year. And almost all the bad actors in traffic who are causing slowdowns and jams have uber and lyft stickers in their windo

Have you actually been in sf traffic in the uber/lyft world? My observations from my life: -Double parking everywhere waiting for pickup / dropoff /routing. Blocking car and bike lanes. -riders getting out into traffic -errat

Is talking about distrusting this service due to government intervention a violation of the "no politics" rule? What about if it's just a nosy parent?

As a cyclist in SF, Uber/Lyft drivers are the most dangerous thing going. They're driving by staring at their phone's map for directions and pickup/dropoff. Once they stop, they stare at their phone for the next ride.

I see it more as great PR around what would otherwise be fairly silent donations to a cause that they support.

Once you get beyond "just started" you'll see the value of these tools :-) The charm of Lambda is that it's easy to get rolling, but then the AWS complexity seeps in. This helps deal with a _lot_ of that in a pretty sa

So, in your estimation, what's an acceptable success rate for someone who only really works on moon shot ideas? I'm curious why you think she's a bellwether for failure as opposed to someone who is driven to take on world cha

Totally! Pay for support works when it's not urgent. But when your biz is hurting, it's hard to translate that urgency to another company that has _entirely_ different priorities than you do. Reminds me of the heroku shaming post

What's that cost? How quickly can it be done? If I was a developer would I have to ask my manager to look into the details of our support plan? What about the ability to patch the source? `git clone` is an incredible power. Companies

This is why open source (and controlling your whole stack) matters in big business. For example, Microsoft may be changing their image, but their core software is closed source. <cloud provider> may be great, but can you pull off som

I switched to this style a few months ago, and really like it. Makes javascript read more like python, clean and specific. Downside is that very few other authors are using it, so when you share code people are concerned about its format (n

An X hr coding test is very different than an X hour interview. The interview process is intended to be a bi-directional flow of information. Giving someone a X hour programming test means that for X hours, the company gets to learn about t

Disqus comments are not good way to gather a representative view of the NPM community as a whole. And, IMHO,comment threads aren't a productive place to have meaningful debate about this topic. If you care about this issue, they'

Do you sometimes get frustrated with not being allowed to park close to the office in the handicap parking spots? Do you feel jealous of your handicapped co-workers? What about co-workers who are addicted to cigarettes and get to take smoke

It'd be nice if they added a little warning whenever submitting a comment that was only a '+1' or '-1' otherwise the discoverability is gonna take a while, maybe? Also a option to convert those comments into reacti

Looks cool, but then as I scrolled I was bummed to see that it was only white hands (with maybe one that wasn't white? Or a good suntan?). Any plans to build up a more diverse hand collection?

They key here is that it's a shareable url. That's much easier to send along to someone in product or a C*O who may not be comfortable with the dev tools.

So if a woman can "survive" the business environment, she's more likely to become a CEO. To me that says: if she can survive through the bias/discrimination, she's probably much more qualified than her male counter

I'm a big fan of fluid as well. But it's always annoyed me because it's a older version of safari. Electron uses Chrome!
