   This is anecdotal, but I'm also in San Antonio and have generally had better experiences with rides from Lyft, even without considering the issues you mentioned. Even wait times have been pretty similar for both. I know someone who dro

   I like Hulu, but I was surprised when traveling to find out it’s not available outside the US at all, except for a “Hulu Japan” service. I wonder if there’s a group of consumers that would pay a premium for a streaming service with similar

   A few ways: - Asynchronous standups with Geekbot in Slack ( https://geekbot.io/ ). Any shared doc will do here, really. - Occasional demos over video chat of new functionality to internal teams. It helps that my entire team a

   They exist in some parts of New England and in a few shopping centers in Texas. You're right about them confusing motorists though. New Englanders generally understand what to do, but I've seen many Texans just stop in the middle

   It's been updated now. I think these kind of pages are usually updated manually by incident response teams.

   Yeah, things similar to this definitely happen. Anecdotally, I have a friend with the last name "Name." This was years ago, but when he first created a Facebook account, he had to enter his last name as "Namé." I think h

   Excellent question. I'd love to see specifics for areas with very high rents, densely populated areas, etc.

   I’ve seen this in a McDonald’s near Akihabara station, too. The people I saw sleeping were often in suits. I imagine the people in suits were business people who went for the free wifi (rarer in Japan than the US, I think) and fell asleep.

   No, it hasn't harmed my career growth. My career hasn't been that long yet, though. Whether it harms yours depends on what you're optimizing for. It also depends on other career prospects where you want to live. <my experi

    What's the point of this, other than "nicknames are hard to remember?" Not a rhetorical question, since that seems to be the main point brought up in the article. Presumably, there's some other problem they're tryin

    Slack seems pretty whimsical and is an enterprise application, but it's the exception to the rule. :partyparrot:

    I wonder if this will increase demand for "ride sharing." Anyone who takes an Uber/Lyft will automatically have at least two people in the car, allowing them to use this highway for free. I suppose this probably depends on h

    Does anyone know what the implementation(s) are for the Ingress resource? Google uses their own custom implementation, I'm curious if Amazon's version will be more portable. [0] [0] https://cloud.google.com/kuberne

    This is interesting. I wonder how these rules apply to searches near borders. EFF says that searches of digital devices at "interior checkpoints" require probable cause, but I think that's different from requiring a warrant.

    One thing that makes it even more complex is state deductions. For example, in Massachusetts you can deduct rent payments to your landlord from your taxable income.

    AWS is huge. You could argue that this is selling "physical stuff," but I view it as heavily abstracted away from the physical infrastructure, especially with products like Lambda. I don't think they even offer a baremetal op

    Uber drivers cannot choose their own pay rate, if that's what you mean. Recently, they've been unable to even choose if they want to accept Uber Pool rides (i.e. there's no indication when you're picking someone up if th

    I definitely agree in the case of California. In the case of smaller states (Rhode Island, Massachusetts except Boston to an extent), I would imagine that state-level info is more useful.

    Are there any real efforts around this? A quick Google search doesn't show anything obvious. I'm also curious if there are any historical examples of "white collar" workers unionizing.

    Thank you for writing this. I hope that you're happy in your new position. It's important that people speak out against sexism and harassment like this in publicly visible ways. I look forward to reading your book on microservices

    This makes me wonder if Facebook and other social media companies could engineer a solution to this problem. Maybe have a duress password that unlocks the account and shows only the public data of the user as well as some fake messages, fri

    Boston could be OK. Cost of living isn't spectacular, but it's much cheaper than the Bay Area, especially if you don't live in the city proper.
