That's because you're comparing only the cost paid directly by the passenger. Not the total cost of operating a train line that gets heavily subsidized by tax payers. Mass transit makes a lot of sense. It can even be profitable wh

If you're able to walk for 95% of your needs, public transit, taxis, uber and zipcars solve the other 5%. If you're only able to walk for 5% of your needs, public transit isn't going to help you much. Rent/Housing does i

The best method of transit is walking. A lot of the problems with traffic and public transport are solved when we invest in walk-able cities. Cities where you can live close enough to work to walk there, close enough to your friends, close

If you're looking for a better maintained book, I'd recommend "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" by W. Richard Stevens, revised by Stephen A. Rago. It's not a free PDF however, but well worth the money.

It's a double edged sword. Emulating all the OS functions is probably an impossible task for them at the moment. It isn't just about implementing all the OS calls, it's also about implementing them in a way that doesn't

When it comes to security research, Tavis Ormandy is truly inspirational. It isn't just about the bugs he discovers, but I find his explanations often very simple to understand. This is an extremely severe design issue, where an Anti V

When you ask them to configure something, do you let them sit in front of a laptop with man pages, google and stack exchange? Or do you expect them to memorize all your most used command line tools? Do you expect them to remember the parame

Contractors go back to permanent jobs for lots of reasons. Re-locations, change in family status, social reasons (sure does get lonely working from home), aiming for managerial roles, a more stable income (even though less per hour) being a

The amount of different real world problems we solve through technology is the cause for this abundance. 25 years ago, the challenges were much different. It's "Trendy" because its relevant.

I wouldn't say it's an "Anti .NET" bias, as much as it's an "anti too many years in the same exact thing" bias. 1. Choose a different language for your next side project. 2. Step in the door with C#, try t

I find that "how can he improve?" is probably a much better question than "Why don't you want him"? Ask the first - and you'll get real actionable items to improve on. Ask the second - and you'll get the r

There's a clear user preference question here. Do users prefer being asked upfront for all the permissions at once, or do they prefer being asked for permissions on the go. Random dude in startup forum isn't smarter than your user

Frankly? That's not really I question I should be answering. That's a question you should be a/b testing. For example: Option 1: sign up with all permisions Option 2: sign up with 5-6 most common permission, request additiona

This approach has a lot of pros and cons. By committing to a fixed price for a project, you're taking a lot of risk on yourself. What if it takes more than Y? What if you weren't able to expect the true scope of the project? What
