The big difference is that existing ride sharing and driverless ride sharing are compatible with each other. Ride sharing companies can slowly increase their number of driverless vehicles as it makes financial sense for them. Even if they o

I don't see people willing to share their data (with companies like Google) as the issue. The problem I'm concerned about is that there is a decreasing amount of choice in the matter. While you ultimately have a choice in a lot of

By the way, Fn+backspace on a Mac does a delete. Not just in GUIs, either.

I actually do something similar with my tablet as well. Mosh + tmux is insanely powerful. Even when I'm using my laptop, I have a more or less persistent SSH+tmux session open. It's nice being able to kick off long-running tasks a

I'm sure this was also an argument used against supermarkets, automobiles, and various other things. Put simply, you can't learn the fundamentals of everything that affects your life. There are consequences, of course. It is impor

For many reasons, I would love to hear more about your model. Just be aware that I (and others) are immediately on guard whenever something asks for email (or any personal info, for that matter). _Especially_ if that info is a barrier to so

Personally, I'd much rather see a "pay what you want" (even with a minimum of a couple bucks) type of system rather than compulsory email newsletters [0]. You can still have the newsletter of course (and even give away copies

You are way more optimistic than I am. Reconnecting with old acquaintances is just one (outdated, as you mention) use case of social media. They have become much more subversive (and profitable) as media/advertising engines. They'

They fall flat because they aren't keeping up with poorly made products that have all their budgets put into advertising. We can keep flipping this as long as we want. At the end of the day, it sucks that companies get a bigger (short-

I'm not trying to say everything exactly falls into one category or the other. There was a wide sweeping statement about a set that I believe to be generally true for one subset [0] and it was refuted with cherry-picked examples from a

It only matters if you're redistributing it. So, libraries not tools. Given the choice between two otherwise similar frameworks/libraries, I would expect most to gravitate towards the non-GPL'd one since there is less frictio

I read it more like a poem than a manifesto. There are elements of both, of course.

Not OP, but I'd say a willingness and proven ability to learn far outweigh any particular tools. Proving ability to learn does require past experience, of course. I think it helps a lot more to show that you understand styling principl

If they put really gaudy church spires on a lot of buildings that aren't churches or play the bells at deafening volumes all day every day, I would sure hope they'd get banned, too. They are advertising, but the point isn't t

The last paragraph takes a step back to talk about how one interpretation, no matter the author's original intent, does not necessarily supersede the other. Basically, they are careful to point out that your interpretation of the poem

I wouldn't say the author's intended message or skill doesn't matter at all [0]. While how it makes you feel is what ultimately matters most, the author's thoughts/intentions/context can and should significantl

I think it's still fair to say it's mostly unread if all they remember (and think about) are a few selective parts that twist the original meaning. It's kind of like Every Breath You Take by The Police. People hear the full s

Even before we get to ubiquitous AR (capability), I think the on-device AI tools is a big differentiator. Right now, not so much, but I think public opinion on privacy is shifting a bit with what we're seeing about Facebook, etc. It&#x

Exactly. Depending on the team, I usually try to start off using something mostly by the book and we adjust from there. Some teams need more structure and some suffocate under it. A business has to understand that the processes that are bes
