I don't recommend doing it, I was just commenting on the concept. I recall reading someone trying to PM Zuckerberg their resumé by using a bug in Facebook to force him to be friends with her. Though, I do disagree. I think it's m

If it's literally Zuckerberg building all this, I bet it's full of security holes (not that he's a bad dev, I wouldn't know, just that one dev can't reasonably be expected to develop a secure app at a pace even remo

I'm sorry but that simply isn't true. Pretending like the English literacy rate in India isn't 12% is silly and false.

If there's an economic incentive, fine, but you're just shifting your stress to other drivers. Delivering packages still happens, do you think the other companies don't follow industry standards?

by dimino 10y ago
Yes, that's a serious question. Why is there a goal of "zero stress" in this situation? It's a job, won't it always have stress?

Making a language "official" doesn't make it your native language, unfortunately.

I believe it's based in India, so probably people who don't speak English natively.

They have literally half a dozen experts come on at various points in the podcast and explain that boycotts don't work, what do you mean "the article doesn't support that conclusion"?

Boycotts don't work, simply put. http://freakonomics.com/podcast/do-boycotts-work-a-new-freak... The fact is, if you want this service, you will create stress for drivers. Why is that bad?

"But the big companies are making all of the money" is tautological, because we define big companies by how much money they make. All of the startup unicorns you'd probably call at this point "big companies" but on

It's a promotional video, representing what will be possible, not what is currently happening on public roads.

You're completely begging the question by comparing this to not paying taxes. Uber's argument (and they may be right) is they don't need to "pay taxes" under current law.

If they weren't doing it before, they should definitely be doing it "now" (2015)... IOW, we have to assume they're doing it, and have been for at least as long as this paper has been out.

No he's making a tongue-in-cheek comment about implementation and how one might sign this and also functionally implement it, because it's a little vague.

Be pythonic, be pythonic, be pythonic! My biggest complaint about python is how easy it is to learn (heh). It takes so little effort to write a script, so it feels deceptively easy to write great python. After all, as long as it works, wh

I've also always thought it was wrong to assume your adversary knows to try only passphrases.

I prefer the passphrase: https://xkcd.com/936/ Also, I feel very funny using generated password from a website. If I need a new password, I can just generate one in Python or something.

I think that's unfair! It makes sense on first glance, right? People can't steal your password if it changes all the time. I personally find it unintuitive to think that people would give up on the "memorization" part

Why put any effort whatsoever into it? What exactly is the bad PR? The fact is, maybe you don't deserve a response just because you sent in your resumé. Also, "why don't you just" is one of those famous things de
