The share economy allows people to use their invested capital (vehicle, home, etc) to generate income - the platforms like Airbnb and Uber provide high quality alternatives and came about due to a void in the market. I have 3 personal anecd

I wonder if simply having riders set the rating threshold and a maximum fare would allow drivers more power to choose the fares they want as an independent contractor. Consider that if a driver sets a minimum fare as well, has a given ratin

I understand this point as well, but imagine you got into earlier and tied up your existing capital in that $700. You wouldn't have been able to capture the next 70x.

For anyone unfamiliar with Minix, it appears to be a tiny OS: > MINIX 3 is a free, open-source, operating system designed to be highly reliable, flexible, and secure. It is based on a tiny microkernel running in kernel mode with the rest

It sounds like there might be a (very tiny) market for an entirely audited GPL stack. Intel made a sound, responsible decision for everyone involved except the privacy crowd.

I believe Intel did give attribution, but to MINIX itself. It really is just an ask for a 'hey, thanks' that was deserved.

In reality most Americans cannot afford snow tires- the ones that do tend to be upper middle class skiing folk, in my experience.

It’s also possibly not worth solving. I don’t know off the top of my head but I’d assume most of the population lives in temperate cities that rarely see the kind of icy weather regularly. Your vehicle could just not drive automatically in

Like others have said, the vehicle will localize using GPS, LIDAR, other image features and then attempt to continue in it’s route. If the confidence is low the system will most likely just take no action. I did the self driving car class o

That's pretty exciting. I'm curious when we can just compile our views into some IR or byte code that can be natively run. Isn't that kinda what WASM is trying to do?

This makes the most sense to me. Constant growth to meet investor expectations.

I think SoundCloud's downfall would be it's huge investment into record label deals, it's paywalling to support said deals and then the lack of adoption for it's subscription service for access to those label's musi

It literally just (1) keeps printing money for investors and (2) keep some people employed. Ambitious people will take the mantle every 15-20 years and do more of 1 and 2 until they make a mistake. The goal of a successful company is basica

Yup, having an internship opens so many doors and if you're not going to a top school you hardly get a response from Google/Amazon/Facebook etc. I'd also bet that anyone who can build a Django photo sharing app with auth

Unrelated to the topic: I'm super excited about this guy, looking at his background we had to have worked in the same computer science lab at Texas State. We're the underdogs in Texas and it's cool to see people that were suc

So, I get that you feel like your home is threatened and changing. You feel like this is your town, your neighborhood and you liked it that way. I'm sorry that you're experiencing such psychic pain. You are empowered to vote for r

As an employee, it was pretty apparent people didn't want you there. The Stranger would post inflammatory articles about tech bros and unflattering caricatures. My girlfriend and I moved up from Texas completely unaware of the stigma.

I worked as a late-night valet in downtown Austin when I was in college. We would go into the bars to get water even though we were underage and eventually we got the idea to go in with our valet uniform on, take it off and order drinks.

It's probably easier to get an entry-level job with the company, or the facilities contractor, a vendor etc. The turn-around is longer though and you have to supply an id and SSN that could be bought, but you'll have more access a

I wonder if some type of 360 camera on humvees could be trained to detect incoming fire and display the direction/location to soldiers on the ground? I'm unsure if these types of systems exist, but after watching Restrepo it seems

Yeah, that’s the new model. The review is on the S which is bigger.

I want to funnel my Bay Area salary into some land out in Alaska for family retreats and off periods in between work. How is it living out there?

One could make the meta-argument that this is an attack on our trust in Facebook, a news conduit, and that the end result is people are more reliant on traditional news monopolies.

I’m certain there is a reason, we scaled up and hired an infra team that owns it so it’s out of my domain now. I was merely a poor steward in the early days out of necessity. My era of tinkering ended once we moved to CircleCI.

There are self-hosted analytics (like Piwik) that you could self-host for sensitive data to solve this generally. I'd like to think that conversion of credit applications isn't something a marketer is trying to gamify though, that

I agree with you, the reason these new tools are useful is they’re much more intuitive than the esoteric flags that have built up over the last 30 years.

I think I wasn’t clear, but a lot of people are harping on the specific use case I glibly mentioned. To answer you, I meant on a Docker image build step- which is where you’d want to install the tool so it’s accessible to people debugging t
