I'm trying to understand the issue here -- UberPop drivers were picking up folks via hail, and not the app? Is that the issue here/in general in France?

The FAQ is wrong, likely entirely outdated by now.

A person can't just poo anywhere they please! I really hope there's a law against pooing in non-lavatorial places.

So I'll reach out to you guys because I've been racking my brain to no avail for the name of a particular blog, and have come up empty. The blog in question would have been perfect for this article, as it had both chess related

Shouldn't the company (Atlas) have just left it up to the police? That is, filed a police report and let the cops investigate the poo?

Looks like it's just a libpurple plugin, and should work in Adium as well. He's even got a .dylib build in the Makefile, but I can't get it to build after tinkering with it for a few minutes. Oh well.

I totally agree with the sentiment -- which makes it all the more frustrating that they'd rather riot than compete.

Adium for OS X hasn't caught up to this fact yet, and still requires a 3rd party plugin[0] that requires Skype to run for it to work. I wonder if anyone's trying to advance this at all -- the 3rd party plugin doesn't seem to

Oh yes, I wouldn't question the math -- it's well beyond my expertise, and I've heard of way too many implementations of the theory to refute it at a theoretical level.

I don't think it's as rigorously defined as it's purported to be. I just envision the practical application of manipulating values to produce desired results, and then post-hoc rationalizing those value manipulations to obta

Judging from the content of lesswrong, I actually think literal math is what many people do recommend, and that's what bothers me.

How will it make you aware of uncertainty? At some point you do have to guess (called "estimating" here), do you not, and that will have a compounding effect on the outcome. You incorrectly guess a probability somewhere only b

Why is it always a surprise to folks that Google Play Music exists? Everyone talks about Pandora, Spotify, Apple, or Amazon, but Google Play Music is never in the conversation. I use it and it's great .

Actually, I'd argue he's set the entire conversation back considerably. My inaction is much less harmful than this post, to the conversation overall.
